Royal daughter-in-law makes money

Chapter 58

"Miss, are you awake?" Chuntao's voice came from outside the door.

Chuntao had been standing at the door for a while. She had just heard the two masters talking, so she dared to ask.

"I'm up, come in." Qiao Anan replied without thinking.

Chu Haojue, who was standing by, did cut his hand with the sword hanging on the head of the bed.

Wipe it on the round handkerchief.

Although they didn't have time to consummate their marriage last night, the nanny who collected Yuanpa would not delay coming over.

Chu Haojue still doesn't want Qiao Anan to be insulted by rumors in the future?

Without thinking, he cut his hand to fake a sign that they had consummated their marriage.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Qiao Anan walked forward to check worriedly.

Seeing that the wound on Chu Haojue's hand was not serious, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Qiao Anan looked at the white handkerchief on the bed, and then she realized why Chu Haojue did this.

Although Qiao Anan didn't care about these things, she was still touched by Chu Haojue's attentiveness at this moment.

Doing this can save her a lot of trouble in the future.

"It's okay! Are we going back to the Qiao family today?" Chu Haojue asked, changing the subject.

"Let's go back tomorrow. We'll stay here today." Qiao Anan thought to herself that she was the hostess here, so she had to take a good look around.

"All up to you." Chu Haojue knew that the conditions in the Second Prince's residence were definitely not as good as those in the Qiao family's. And he didn't mind living there.

"Then Your Highness, why don't you take me around your prince's mansion today." Qiao Anan felt that she was the mistress of this mansion after all, so she had to take a good look around this huge mansion.

"If Princess doesn't mind, I will take you around this mansion." Chu Haojue felt that as long as Qiao Anan wanted him to take her around the mansion, what would be wrong with him taking her around here?

Originally, Qiao Anan was full of expectations, but after she toured the entire Second Prince's Mansion, she was filled with disbelief.

The prince’s mansion covers a really large area, but why are the houses inside so dilapidated?

The mansion must be quite old, and these houses have not been properly maintained. Over time, they look a bit miserable.

"Your Highness, this prince's mansion is so big." Qiao Anan said with a laugh.

"This mansion was given by my father." Chu Haojue said after thinking for a while.

"Was it like this when the emperor gave you this mansion?" Qiao An asked in confusion, pointing at the somewhat dilapidated house.

Joan felt that if the owner of this house had taken better care of it, it would not have been in such a dilapidated state.

Houses that are full of age need regular maintenance to protect them.

"In recent years, I have been busy fighting wars and have spent relatively little time in the mansion. In addition, there are not many servants in the mansion." Chu Haojue coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment.

Chu Haojue also knew that his house was indeed a bit shabby. However, he had used all his money to support the army over the years.

Besides, he always thought that the Second Prince's Mansion was enough for living, and he didn't care much about whether other more dilapidated houses needed to be repaired.

No one lives there anyway.

"Well, the courtyard in your mansion is quite big." Qiao An quickly said to Chu Haojue to make amends.

"Among the several princes' palaces, this one probably has the largest area." Chu Haojue thought that his father might have made things difficult for him. He was the poorest. But this palace was the largest. That meant he had the most money to spend.

"Your father is so good to you." Qiao Anan said after thinking for a while.

Chu Haojue chuckled and said nothing.

"Can your prince's mansion be demolished?" Qiao Anan felt that it would cost a lot of money to repair the house, so it would be better to just demolish it and rebuild it.

Since you are spending money anyway, why spend it to live in an old house instead of rebuilding it?

"Yes, it should be possible, but..." Chu Haojue thought that the treasury was empty and he was afraid that there was no money to repair or rebuild his house.

"Just what?" Qiao Anan thought that as long as she could rebuild it, she would draw the blueprints and then tear down the dilapidated house. She wanted to build an indestructible castle here.

Thinking of the castle, Qiao Anan was a little excited. Yes, she could build a castle here. When their children grow up, they can live in this castle.

After all, buildings these days are all low-rise and quite retro.

If I built a tall castle in this era, I think it would be unique.

Maybe she could set a threshold later. Collect an entrance fee or something, which would also increase the government's revenue.

"Now, I'm afraid the Ministry of Revenue doesn't have the money to rebuild our prince." Chu Haojue also felt that there were many places in the national treasury that needed money.

His mansion is still habitable, so it's not a big deal.

"How difficult is that? You just need to go and tell our father that we want to rebuild the Second Prince's Mansion. Leave the rest to me. Don't worry, I will definitely build you an indestructible castle." Qiao Anan promised, patting his chest.

"Isn't this too expensive?" Although Chu Haojue felt that the Qiao family had money, he still felt that this was a bit of a waste.

"What's the big deal? When our children grow up, they can live here." Qiao Anan waved her hand and said nonchalantly. She was making plans for her children's future.

"As long as the princess thinks it's good." Chu Haojue thought about it and was looking forward to the scene that Qiao Anan described. Since Qiao Anan was making plans for their child, he certainly had no reason to refuse.

After all, if they have children in the future, it will not be safe to live in a house like this.

Of course, he didn't mind their children living in the Qiao family in the future.

After seeing the Second Prince's Mansion, Qiao Anan no longer wanted to stay here. After all, apart from its large area, she didn't seem to find anything else that she liked here.

After all, in Qiao Anan's opinion, the Prince's Mansion was full of dilapidated buildings. She didn't want to continue living here until it was renovated.

However, when thinking about transformation, Qiao Anan thought of cement.

"It's a pity that there was no cement in those days. If we had cement, the houses built here would last for hundreds of years." Qiao An said with some regret.

"What is cement?" Chu Haojue asked curiously after hearing this.

He thought about the house that had stood for a hundred years, which was indeed indestructible.

I don't know what kind of cement it is?

I wonder if a house built of cement can withstand the bombing of gunpowder?

"Cement is a mixture that allows bricks and stones to bond better. It can be used to build houses." Joan thought for a while and explained.

I just thought that if I want to make cement, shouldn’t I also research glass?

Otherwise, even if her house is built, it will still be very dark inside. After all, the windows these days are covered with window paper, which is easy to tear.

Qiao Anan thought to herself, it would be nice if there was glass.
