Chapter 332: Putting our things in Prince Xiao’s Mansion
Of course, he could not have such an unequal property under his name, so he put it under the name of his wife. His wife's family was a merchant, and relying on the influence of County Magistrate Zhao in Xicheng, they did a good business.
When the shopkeeper heard that the little princess was going to settle down in their Xicheng, he was very excited. So he revealed all the properties that County Magistrate Zhao had secretly purchased. Xiao Wu went to take a look. According to the specifications of the house, County Magistrate Zhao was not qualified to live in it. It would be better to "buy" it back and use it as a temporary residence for their little princess.
So, this is the scene that Su Wanyan saw.
Magistrate Zhao's face was tinged with red, but he smiled as he willingly showed Princess Xiao around. "Your Majesty, look at the small garden over here. We've planted all sorts of precious flowers and plants. In spring, it'll be a scene of hundreds of flowers blooming, vying for splendor. And look at the moon-viewing pavilion over there in the pond..."
The scenery Su Wanyan saw was far more luxurious than the mansion that He Bo had bought before. It was obvious how much effort County Magistrate Zhao had put into this mansion. Now he was about to give it up. No wonder his eyes became redder the more he spoke about it. He was reluctant to part with it!
After walking around, Su Wanyan was very satisfied. She nodded and signaled County Magistrate Zhao that he could leave.
"..." County Magistrate Zhao looked back every few steps, regretting it so much that his intestines turned green. If he thought about how he agreed to help the people above him, not only would he not get any benefits in the end, but he would also have to pay such a huge house as compensation. Even if he had to stay in this Xicheng for the rest of his life, he... he would be willing to accept it!
This is hundreds of thousands of taels of silver! The hard work of most of his life!
Seeing Magistrate Zhao walking with an unsteady pace, Xiao Wu was overjoyed. "Serves him right! He acts arrogantly every day, and now he has to meet us. This is his retribution."
Su Wanyan looked at the extravagant furniture in the house and thought for a moment, "Let's sell these furniture and ornaments. We don't need the people's money. We can use the money to help the local people so that everyone can have a good New Year."
Xiao Wu's eyes sparkled with surprise, "My Queen, you already possess the great heart to rule the country!"
"..." Su Wanyan paused, a little exhausted, "What I mean is that you should replace it with the furniture and ornaments from our Prince Xiao's Mansion, so that it will be worthy of this princess."
She planned to take out some furniture and ornaments that she had packed up from the palace and Prince Xiao's Mansion to decorate the new house. After all, Ji Xiaohan would become the emperor sooner or later, so even if she set the standards to the sky, no one would dare to say anything, right?
Xiao Wu understood immediately and nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, this house belongs to the Empress now, so naturally we have to display things from our Prince Xiao's Mansion."
The shopkeeper also came with them. When he heard what was said, although he didn't understand, he laughed along.
The things in Prince Xiao’s Mansion are better than those used in the Imperial Palace!
I just don’t know how to transport those things here in a short time?
However, to the shopkeeper's surprise, after the second day, the furniture and furnishings in the entire house looked brand new. Looking around, all of them were items marked with the mark of their Prince Xiao's Mansion. There were even several furnishings that were made in accordance with the regulations of the Imperial Palace. The shopkeeper was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped. He quietly asked Miss Xiaowu if the master had sent someone to secretly transport these things early on.
As an "informed person", Xiaowu smiled faintly and said nothing. Could she say that these things were not from her husband's hand, but from the hand of their delicate little princess?
