Quick wear is not a cannon fodder

Although she didn't know the situation in the White House, she only thought that Wu Yuanniang was favored because she was the concubine, which was normal. However, An Ran guessed that it was definitely not normal for Wu Yuanniang to be promoted from an unfavored and unknown beauty to a virtuous concubine all of a sudden. There must be some reason, but for this reason, she was thousands of miles away from the palace and didn't understand it.

Regardless of what was going on inside, the whole family was overjoyed because Wu Yuanniang had been concubine. A few days later, news of the favor came from the higher-ups, and they actually allowed the family to allow the concubines to go home to visit their relatives, if necessary. At this time, the mansion became noisy again, and they began to think about building a provincial residence.

Although the area of ​​An Guo Gong's Mansion is not small, it is already full of people. It is obviously impossible to build a provincial residence here. In the end, An Guo Gong's Mansion decided to use the unoccupied one next door that was built by Tianjia to be used as a reward. After buying the Earl's Mansion, the Earl's Mansion will be transformed into a provincial residence.

And this takes into account a problem, that is, Mrs. Wu is old and will leave in the future. What will happen if the Wu family can no longer live in the Duke's Mansion? After all, if they buy the one next to it, they will I can't live in the Duke's mansion and I have to buy another house. Wouldn't it mean that I have to be separated from the provincial villa? So I immediately decided to buy the Duke's Mansion together. Although I bought the Earl's Mansion next door, in the future when the old lady leaves, they can live in the Earl's Mansion. Because it is next door, it is very convenient to move, but The Earl's Mansion next to it is much smaller than this one. It can't accommodate so many people. Besides, when they think about it, their mother-in-law is still young and she has to live for decades. In this way, the old lady may not be in a few years. Then he left and moved to the Earl's Mansion. My mother-in-law would come back to visit her one day, so where would she live? So it is better to buy the Duke's Mansion and use it next door as a place for the Queen to visit her relatives.

——Actually, An Ran said that they really thought too much, because the old lady has a long lifespan, while Wu Yuanniang has a short lifespan and is still ahead of the old lady.

However, if you buy things from the Tian family, you will definitely have to deal with the Ministry of Rites. I don’t know if it’s a hint from above, or it’s because the Wu family has no high-ranking officials in the government. Anyway, the officials of the Ministry of Rites are very open-minded, and the Earl’s Mansion next to them wants to For 80,000 taels of silver, Duke Anguo's Mansion asked for 150,000 taels of silver. When asking the Wu family, they asked for 230,000 taels of silver, and the price was the same - in fact, the price was already higher than the market price. This mansion can definitely be bought with one hundred thousand taels of silver, and one hundred and fifty thousand taels is obviously a big deal.

And from the fact that she didn't take Wu Yuanniang seriously at all, An Ran was also keenly aware that even if Wu Yuanniang was granted the title of concubine, she didn't seem to be very favored in the palace. Just imagine, how could anyone else dare to do this to a very favored concubine?

And this can also be seen from the original body's memory. The original body seems to have encountered the eunuch coming to Wu Mansion to ask for money.

The eunuchs dared to go to the concubine's house to ask for money, which shows that Wu Yuanniang's life in the palace was not easy. Otherwise, if she was a doting concubine, those eunuchs would dare to do this?

But at the moment, the Wu family had no choice. After all, they had to build a provincial villa in this mansion. How could they build it if they didn't buy it? In the end, they had to spend 230,000 taels of silver to buy these two mansions.

In fact, An Ran said, if you don’t have money or space at home, just stop bothering and don’t bring any virtuous concubine back to visit the bride. You have to spend money for the sake of face, not to mention the Fang family, just give them the emperor’s inner treasury. , even with their comparison and level of extravagance, they could lose everything.

This purchase of the mansion, as well as the money to build the provincial villa later, will undoubtedly spend all the property obtained from the Fang family, and even cost the Wu family a lot of money themselves - There is no way, now it is different from the original memory. Father Fang gave more than one million taels to An Ran, and the remaining ones are less than one million taels, and there are some of them, just like Mrs. Wu Er thought It was either worthless or couldn't be sold, so they sold it all, and only got about 700,000 taels of silver. Of these, more than 200,000 were spent just to buy the house. How could the rest be enough to build a house? For those of you who are planning to visit your relatives’ villa, after all, other people’s houses are beautiful, but yours is shabby. Why don’t you let people laugh at you then?

So not only did they sell all the things in the Fang family, but they also spent a lot of the Wu family's originally small fortune, collecting a million to build a provincial villa - not counting the money to buy the house, just to build the provincial villa. The price of the villa is one million.

So the Wu family spent almost 600,000 taels of silver. In order to collect the money, the Wu family opened a warehouse and sold a lot of things, and also sold a lot of golden chickens that lay eggs - fields.

Seeing how the Wu family was so crazy in order to compete with others, An Ran thought that without more than one million from the Fang family this time, the Wu family would probably fall faster.

Since the people in the mansion were busy building the provincial villa, there were many new topics to talk about, but no one had anything to do all day long. They gossiped about An Ran staying out of the yard all day and comparing her to Cui Zhenzhu.

Although An Ran rarely goes out of the yard, she has a good relationship with Wu Erniang.

This girl had a dull character, and in her original memory, she had an extremely bad ending. Although in her original memory, many girls had bad endings, she was particularly bad.

At that time, the Wu family was in decline, and Mr. Wu was still living extravagantly all day long. He had no money to use, so he actually sold her for five thousand taels of silver.

Because of this, the man was very rude to her, hitting and scolding her. Within a year, she was violently abused until she died.

Because the other party didn't do anything bad to the original person, and her end was so miserable, An Ran wanted to help her and save her life, so she sometimes walked around with her.

Because her aunt died young, Wu Erniang was a little transparent in the family. Her father did not care for her, so she saw that An Ran was willing to date her. Gradually, the relationship between the two became closer and closer.

An Ran took this opportunity to teach her some self-defense techniques. In this way, even if she has a weak personality and is easily bullied, she would be better off with martial arts at her side.

Afraid that people would wonder how she knew martial arts, An Ran said that her father saw her as a girl and was afraid of being bullied, so he asked someone to teach her. This didn't make Wu Erniang suspicious.

Some people in the house who thought they were smart couldn't help but shake their heads when they saw this scene, secretly thinking that this young cousin really has no eyesight. If you don't associate with such prominent people in the house as the Third Young Master, Miss Cui, and the Second Mistress, how can you be with a little kid? What does transparent communication do?

However, they are all pitiful, and it is normal for birds of a feather to flock together.

This is because Mrs. Wu saw that An Ran didn't come out of the courtyard very often. She didn't say unpleasant words like the servants did. Instead, she said that she quietly observed her parents' filial piety and was a filial child. The servants in the house would not dare to say such a thing to her ancestors. It's too ugly. If Mrs. Wu hadn't said this, the words in the house would have been even worse.
