Chapter 424: Visiting the Princess's Mansion, It's Too Big, Too Luxurious
Thinking of this, she felt even worse and felt that today was full of bad things.
She originally wanted to deal with Xiao Ying and avenge her cousin, and now she has sufficient reasons to do so.
Regardless of whether the emperor is interested in Xiao Ying or not, she will nip it in the bud.
So what if she was named a princess? She still had to lie down in front of her!
…
Xiao Ying didn't know that he had become a thorn in the imperial concubine's side.
After breakfast the next day, he went to the Princess's Mansion with Ning Leshu and several children.
Although you can't move in now, you can go and take a look first.
The emperor gave her two houses in the capital, so she had some assets here.
"Mother didn't expect you to be so capable that you actually got two houses. I prepared them for you for nothing."
Ning Leshu joked, feeling happy for his daughter.
Xiao Ying said, "Why would it be in vain? I can live in several different places."
Ning Leshu suddenly chuckled, it’s not impossible.
Who among the wealthy doesn't have a few houses? Even she would occasionally go to live in a farm in the suburbs.
"Mom, let's take a look at several houses today."
Chen Xingyun suggested with a smile that they couldn't waste grandma's hard work.
"I think so too." Xiao Ying nodded in agreement.
Ning Leshu felt warm in his heart, so he took them to the house he had prepared.
It was a five-courtyard house covering a very large area, and was even more luxurious and beautiful than Xiao Ying's hometown with four courtyards.
Although it is not located in the core circle of dignitaries, it is not far away and is considered an excellent location.
The house is fully equipped with various facilities, kept clean and tidy, and has dozens of trained servants, so you can move in directly with your luggage.
This shows Ning Leshu's intentions.
"Mom has taken such good care of this place."
If the Princess's Mansion had not been awarded, this would definitely be Xiao Ying's first choice.
"As long as you like it."
Ning Leshu smiled with satisfaction. As long as her daughter liked it, her efforts were not in vain.
Xiao Ying was deeply touched and planned to stay for a few days every month.
The second place to visit was the house that was awarded when she was promoted to Lady Anguo.
This is also a house with five courtyards, and its geographical location is better than Ning Leshu's.
The interior was also kept very clean, but the decoration remained the same, not as carefully designed by Ning Leshu according to her preferences.
Xiao Ying was also very satisfied with this place.
A house like this would cost at least one hundred thousand taels.
And being rich is not enough, it also has to be expensive, as this area originally represents the home of the powerful and wealthy.
Finally, we arrived at the Princess's Mansion.
This place is located in the core circle of the powerful and wealthy, only one street away from the Ning family and the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion.
The word "several" cannot describe this place anymore. It is even more luxurious and vast than the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.
Once you enter the gate, you will enter from three directions.
There are rockery gardens, pavilions, artificial lakes and even hot spring pools.
It is a huge garden.
It took them half an hour to walk halfway through the journey. It was so huge that Chen Xinghai and his companions were dumbfounded.
Are they going to live here from now on?
This is too luxurious!
Such a big place is enough for everyone living in Yingfeng Town.
For the first time, several people realized what kind of existence the top dignitaries were.
It is a luxury that even ordinary people dare not think about or even dream of.
While they were happy, several of them also felt a little emotional, or even sad.
Countless people could not even afford a thatched hut to live in and did not have any land.
The rich and powerful, however, have mountains of gold and silver and live in such big houses.
They were a little confused. Why was this happening?
Even though I know it has been like this since ancient times, I still want to find an answer.
"Are you guys tired from walking? Why are you all so dejected?"
Resting in a pavilion, Ning Leshu looked at Chen Xinghai and the others curiously and smiled kindly.
The children looked at each other and shook their heads.
After all, they are cultivators at the fifth level of Qi Refining, so they won't feel tired after walking such a short distance.
"I'm not tired, I just don't understand something."
Chen Xinghai frowned slightly and said with some confusion.
"What are you thinking about that you can't figure out?" Ning Leshu became interested: "Why don't you tell grandma?"
Xiao Ying looked thoughtful and looked at them curiously.
Chen Xinghai seemed to not know how to start, so Chen Xingyun on the side took over the topic.
"Grandma, mother, then I will tell you."
"As we walked along, we were truly shocked by the luxury and vastness of this house."
"This place is really too big, and I feel it would be a waste for just our family to live here."
"And servants can be seen everywhere. Although I don't know the exact number, I'm sure there are at least several hundred."
Hundreds of people served these five people...
Just thinking about it seems so extravagant and wasteful.
With so many people and so much money, why not do something else?
She didn't say this out loud, but Xiao Ying understood what she meant.
Ning Leshu asked doubtfully, "Is this bad?"
"Don't the rich and powerful all want to live in bigger and more luxurious houses and have more servants?"
She couldn't understand why Xingyun and the others were unhappy because the house was too big and too nice and there were too many servants.
This time, not only Chen Xingyun, but also Chen Xinghai and others shook their heads.
Chen Xingyue said bluntly: "What's the good of this? Don't you think it's a waste, grandma?"
"With the money we use to support these servants, we can help many refugees."
"Such a large house can be divided into many ordinary houses, so that more people can have a place to live."
Chen Xinghai also nodded in agreement: "This mansion is too big. We may not be able to visit many places once a year."
"Many servants may not be seen once a year."
The last one was Meng Qingying. Although her tone was light, it was a little heavy.
"While the rich and powerful enjoy such a luxurious life, many ordinary people are left with little clothes to wear and no food to eat."
"Why is this happening? Why can't everyone have enough food and clothing and live a good life?"
Ning Leshu fell silent. She never expected that the children would think about such things.
Even if they were from a powerful family, few would think about it, including her.
Governing the country and ensuring the people live a good life is the responsibility of the emperor and the court.
She found that she couldn't answer a single question.
"Because it has been like this since ancient times."
It took her a long time to come up with an excuse.
Then he smiled and asked, "Now that you have this house, would you be willing to share it with the people?"
Unexpectedly, several people nodded at the same time.
Chen Xingyun said seriously: "We are willing, as long as they pay some rent."
Because my mother has always been doing this.
He doesn't waste the money he earns, but instead helps villagers and disaster relief within his ability.
Even though she is a princess, she will not deliberately show off, nor will she look down on ordinary people just because of her high status.
She really wanted to rent out such a big yard.
It’s not about making money, but about giving more people a place to live.
Ning Leshu was stunned. Renting out the Princess Mansion? Wouldn't that make the whole of Shangjing a laughing stock?
Xingyun was thinking too simply. After all, this place was different from Yingfeng Town.
She shook her head and laughed: "Grandma knows that you are all simple and kind, but this is how Shangjing City is. We can only adapt to it."
Several people seemed dissatisfied and looked at Xiao Ying in unison.
"Mom, what about you?"
They want to know what their mother will do?
