The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 622 Who is Aruan?
The carefree king had considered that this thing would be expensive, but he never imagined it would be this expensive.

The carefree prince did not have the Qin family of Jiangnan as his maternal clan backing him; his mother was originally an insignificant concubine in the palace.

When the late emperor was still alive, many people longed for a higher position. After all, the late emperor was a member of the Qin family and had everything he needed, except for love.

The relationship between the late emperor and the empress dowager was not good at all, as anyone with eyes could see. Therefore, some of the concubines who entered the palace began to dream of climbing over the empress dowager to gain power.

Of course, none of them succeeded. One by one, they were beaten down like dogs in the water, ending up with nothing, and in severe cases, even their entire tribe was implicated.

The Prince of Xiaoyao's mother was also favored for a period of time, but she remained clear-headed throughout and strongly supported the current Empress Dowager's position.

In this way, they became the ones who laughed last. Now, there are no more of the late emperor's concubines in the harem, only the Empress Dowager and the mother of Prince Xiaoyao. With the grace of the Empress Dowager and Emperor Minghua, she was allowed to leave the palace to live a life of luxury, a privilege that many concubines had never enjoyed.

Because she was just a minor concubine, an insignificant dowager consort, even after returning to the Duke of Anguo's mansion, the Duke of Anguo could not offer her much.

The vast Duke Anguo's mansion had far too many expenses, leaving little for a married aunt.

The carefree prince was good at business, but he wasn't as rich as outsiders imagined. Much of his money actually came from swindling his elder brother and sister-in-law.

"Ah, Uncle Ashu, do you not have enough money?" Ayu's understanding of prices is very extreme. She knows how much a penny or a tael of silver can buy, but when the money is measured in thousands or tens of thousands of taels, Ayu doesn't think it's worth anything.

That's just a bunch of numbers.

This figure was calculated by Tuanzi, which means that Ayu did not intentionally try to cheat Xiaoyao Wang, but that the wheelchair was just worth this price.

A clear hint of embarrassment flashed across the Prince of Xiaoyao's face: "Can I give you the shops in exchange? I also have two estates that would be very suitable for you. According to market prices, each estate would be worth ten thousand taels."

"It's not impossible." Ayu learned from Old Madam Wang that if there were houses, shops, and estates, Ayu wouldn't mind having more, especially since these were not lands granted by the emperor or purchased from the government. They would have more freedom to manage them in the future, and there would be fewer problems in the process.

Thinking of this, Ayu's eyes lit up: "If you have a manor, do you also have a drill ground?"

The carefree king raised an eyebrow: "What do you want to do? Are you going to open a martial arts school?" "No, I plan to buy it and turn it into an academy, but building an academy is not something that can be done overnight. If we start building it now, it will be ready to use when I grow up," Ayu said.

Speaking of the carefree prince, he actually knew about Ayu's plan to build a girls' academy. People who knew about it before just took it as a joke, but now it seems that this little girl is serious about it.

"Many years ago, someone else thought of this, but in the end, it didn't work out," said the carefree king.

Ayu said with interest, "If anyone shares my idea, I can be their friend, and we can build an academy together!"

“It’s someone named Aruan,” the carefree king said with a smile, then extended his index finger and tapped Ayu’s eyelashes, his voice carrying a gentleness he himself didn’t realize, “She has beautiful eyes, just like you.”

Ayu's eyes lit up as she listened, and she became genuinely interested in the mysterious person.

"Who is A-Ruan? Uncle A-Shu, tell me, and I'll give you 50 taels less, no, 100 taels less, okay!"

However, the carefree king did not continue on this topic: "I haven't seen her for more than ten years, and I don't know where she is now. Let's not talk about her, let's talk about you. You want a training ground, why not just take over an existing academy? I do have one, but it has been abandoned for several years. With some maintenance, it can still be used."

Ayu was overjoyed—a ready-made academy?!
“But I have one condition,” said the carefree prince. “That academy isn’t something you can acquire forty thousand taels of silver. I can give it all to you, and if you become the headmaster in the future, I can also help you with the arrangements. My condition is that you make ten more of this wheelchair, and if you want to sell it to someone else, you must inform me. If I don’t agree, then it cannot be sold. How about that?”

Ayu readily agreed: "Okay, okay, but I need to check out that academy first!"

"Can you take charge?"

"of course!"

The blueprints for the wheelchair were given by the elf. The wheelchair was made by Grandpa through several blacksmith shops and mine owners. If the elf agreed, Grandpa would definitely agree too. Of course, he could make the decision.

She could practically get an academy for free!
