Royal daughter-in-law makes money

Chapter 11

Zhou wanted to resist, but she didn't dare, so she could only look at Fang with anticipation.

But when Fang saw Lin Qi's expression, she knew in her heart that there was no room for maneuver in this matter.

Fang sat dejectedly on a chair, crying bitterly, muttering to herself, "My poor Ruyi!"

When Zhou saw Fang's expression, her heart sank to the bottom.

This matter is a foregone conclusion.

At this time, Lin Ruyi, who was still waiting in Zhou's courtyard, was still expecting good news from her mother, but she didn't know that her marriage was not as good as that of the second wife's concubine.

Qiao Anan thought about it for a long time, and finally decided that she had to go to the Second Prince's Mansion to take a look.

If it's too ugly, then this deal is a no-go.

If that didn't work, she would donate some more silver to the national treasury and ask the old emperor to revoke his decision.

Early the next morning, Qiao Anan took her personal maids Chuntao and Xiahe, as well as servants Dongsheng and Beiluo, to go to the Second Prince's place.

"Miss, where are we going?" Xia He is quite lively and is always curious every time she goes out.

At this time, I just thought that the young lady was going to check which shop.

"Let's go to the Second Prince's Mansion!" Qiao Anan said calmly. When she went out, she specially brought her whip with her. She thought that if the Second Prince played tricks on her, she could at least use the whip to protect herself.

If the second prince was really ugly, she would have to find a way to reject the marriage.

Although it was the emperor who arranged the marriage.

However, she didn't believe that there was nothing that money couldn't solve.

"Miss, what are we going to the Second Prince's Mansion for? Do we still have business dealings with this Second Prince's Mansion?" Xia He didn't know that yesterday the master brought one million taels of silver notes to the palace to ask for an imperial decree to grant marriage for the young lady.

"Well, I guess so!" Qiao Anan thought to herself, a business worth one million taels of silver!

It's not a small amount.

Today, she will go to inspect the goods!

"Wow, Miss, you are so amazing. You even have business dealings with the Prince's Mansion." Xia He looked at Qiao Anan with shining eyes.

Qiao Anan looked at the cheerful Xia He, and her unhappiness lessened a little.

Her four maids and four assistants all have their own strengths, and Xia He's strength is her source of joy.

The Qiao family was in the south of the city, not too far from the Second Prince's Mansion, but not close either. The carriage drove slowly for a quarter of an hour before stopping in front of the Second Prince's Mansion.

The guards at the door did not expect that this gorgeous-looking carriage would stop in front of their Second Prince's mansion.

I was puzzled. Could it be that Empress Xian had come?

But, looking at this carriage, it doesn’t look like Empress Xian’s carriage, right?

Before the two guards could figure out what was going on, a little maid in pink clothes jumped out of the carriage.

Dongsheng, who was standing by, quickly stepped forward and put his hand in front of the carriage, waiting while Qiao Anan helped him get off the carriage.

Qiao Anan walked out of the carriage and got off with Dongsheng's help.

Qiao Anan looked at the large gold-plated characters on the plaque at the door: Second Prince's Mansion.

I looked again and saw two majestic stone lions at the door.

However, there were only two guards at the door, which was really inconsistent with this prince's mansion.

There were two servants at the door, but they didn't expect that the people coming here were a few girls.

"Bei Luo, go knock on the door!" Qiao Anan ordered.

"Yes!" Bei Luo hurried to where the two guards were, but as soon as he walked over, he was stopped by two guards with knives at their fingertips.

"Two young men, my lady is from the Qiao family. She would like to meet His Royal Highness the Second Prince. Please pass the message on!" Bei Luo said with a smile, while stuffing some silver coins into the two men's pockets.

The two were shocked. The Qiao family was so generous. You know, the second prince was poor, and most of his money was used in the army. His family was not rich, and they did not live a rich life on weekdays.

Now, suddenly, a person came and opened his mouth and gave the two of them so much reward money.

How can I not be surprised?

"You wait here." After the two guards exchanged glances, one of them went into the mansion to inform the master.

Chu Haojue had just returned from the army at this time.

Today, although the emperor gave him 50,000 taels of silver, it was just a drop in the bucket and could not solve the problem at all.

Chu Haojue had a headache. Next, the soldiers' winter clothes and winter boots would be a considerable expense.

He didn't know when the next time he would be able to get money from his father would be.

"Have the profits from each shop been delivered this month?" Chu Haojue asked the steward, Eunuch Fu, with a headache.

"Your Highness, the shopkeepers haven't delivered it yet. Today is only the tenth day, and the shopkeepers usually have to wait until the fifteenth to deliver the revenue." Eunuch Fu sighed and said quickly.

Their Highness is probably the poorest prince among all the princes.

In fact, it’s not that the prince has no property.

However, the second prince has already been supporting the army.

Nowadays, everyone in the mansion tries to save as much as possible. Even the second prince’s daily meals consist of only two dishes and one soup.

"Go and urge them later." Chu Haojue had a headache.

He knew in his heart that this was not a solution.

"Your Highness, there is a woman outside who claims to be Miss Qiao and wants to see Your Highness." The guard said quickly.

"Miss Qiao?" Chu Haojue felt that an even more troublesome thing was coming.

Yesterday, his father granted him a marriage with the young lady from the Qiao family. He did not expect that the young lady from the Qiao family would be so impatient and would come to his house the next day.

"Let her in!" Chu Haojue thought to himself, well, let her come and see how poor the Second Prince's Mansion is, it's not bad either, at least it can make her give up.

The guard took the order and left, but Eunuch Fu standing by was a little confused. Which Miss Qiao?

However, since the second prince didn't say anything, he didn't dare to ask.

"Eunuch Fu, please go and bring Miss Qiao over." Chu Haojue was thinking that since it was Miss Qiao's first visit, it would be better to let Eunuch Fu bring her over, so that she wouldn't get lost and not be able to find him.

"Yes!" When Eunuch Fu left, he looked back at the Second Prince, wondering who this young lady from the Qiao family was that the Second Prince asked him to pick her up in person.

Chu Haojue looked at Eunuch Fu's departing back and thought that the Qiao family was wealthy, and it would be great if he could borrow some money from them.

In that way, the soldiers in the army will have enough winter clothes and winter boots for this year.

Thinking of this, Chu Haojue thought that he would definitely try to bring it up with Miss Qiao later.

Led by Eunuch Fu, Qiao Anan entered the Second Prince's mansion. However, as soon as she entered, she was shocked by the scene inside.

"Eunuch Fu, your Second Prince's Mansion is quite special!" Qiao Anan looked at the empty Second Prince's Mansion in front of her and wondered, whose mansion could be as spacious as a football field?

"Your Highness likes to practice martial arts, and this place is large, it's convenient! Convenient!" Eunuch Fu thought for a long time before he came up with this reason.

I was thinking, who likes such an empty place? Isn't it because all the valuable things in the mansion were sold by His Highness to subsidize the military camp?

Hey!
