On the next day, a family of four took a carriage to the County Prince's Mansion. It used to be the Fourth Prince's Mansion, but now the plaque has been changed to the County Prince's Mansion.

The Great Zhou Dynasty has gone through hundreds of years, and now it has passed three emperors. After the princes of the previous emperor's generation left, their son Chengjue would be demoted to a lower level, and he would not be promoted again unless he achieved some great achievements. Otherwise, it would be okay if there were princes everywhere in Kyoto. This rule is still in use today, and Su Yu thinks it is quite good.

Several princes from the emperor's lineage have gone to their fiefdoms. Only the emperor's younger brother, Prince An, stayed in Kyoto City because the Queen Mother was reluctant to part with him. The three princes of the emperor are still young now. The eldest prince is eight years old. The second prince was born to Empress Wang when he was six years old, and the third prince was four when he was born to Concubine Li Guifei. It was said that his biological mother was a palace maid, and she died after giving birth to the third prince. However, the emperor also posthumously named his biological mother Lin Guiren, which can be regarded as a gift to the third prince. The prince is decent.

In fact, when it comes to age, the emperor is about the same age as her father, but the royal family has always had difficulty in having heirs. So far, there are only these three princes, and there are four princesses. The oldest princess is already fifteen, and the youngest is four. The princess is also ten years old this year.

Yesterday, the Su family sent someone to the Prince's Mansion to inform them, and early this morning, the gate of the Prince's Mansion was opened wide to welcome its new owner.

The gray-haired Butler Li stood in front of the mansion. He had doubts about Prince Anping. He used to be a confidant of the old prince. Although the prince did not take him with him when he traveled abroad, he had heard about the general affairs. Sorry, I have never heard the prince talk about any woman he had a crush on outside.

But this was found out by the emperor. If he questioned Prince Anping's family, he would be questioning the emperor. Although he was old, he was not old enough yet, so he wanted to take a look first.

The carriage arrived in front of the county prince's mansion. When a family of four got off the carriage, Butler Li and all the servants in the mansion knelt down to greet them.

"We sincerely welcome the prince back to his residence."

"We sincerely welcome the princess back to the palace."

"Congratulations to welcome the crown prince back to your home."

"We sincerely welcome Lord Jiahe County back to the mansion."

The sound is quite neat, but I feel a little lacking in confidence when I hear it.

Su Yu looked at the maids and servants who were kneeling on the left and right sides. Well, this county palace has almost become a nursing home. I guess the youngest one there must be thirty or more. Fortunately, there are not many people, both men and women combined. There are only about thirty people, which is easy to arrange.

As soon as Su Laoer got off the carriage, he saw two rows of servants kneeling to him at the door. Hearing the respectful greetings again, he was really shocked.

It was his first time to be the prince of such a useless county, so he had no experience.

I could only look at my son and daughter for help.

Su Yan had no choice but to speak out.

"Everyone, get up."

"Thank you, son."

When everyone entered the mansion, Butler Li asked the servants in the mansion to leave first, while he followed a few of them.

Butler Li is already over sixty this year. Not only is he old, but he also suffers from physical ailments. It is a bit difficult to walk fast. In order to accommodate the old steward, the family has slowed down a lot, and it is also a good time to observe the county prince's mansion.

There are traces of dilapidation in many places in the house, and some places have obviously been renovated. Su Yu knew in her heart that the emperor should have sent people to renovate it not long ago. It doesn't matter if the yard is old. The most important thing her family lacks is money. It will be renovated slowly when the time comes.

The area of ​​the County Prince's Mansion is not small, but this is only in the opinion of the Su family. If we look at the specifications of the Prince's Mansion, the County Prince's Mansion is the smallest among all the princes' mansions.

However, the fourth prince had chosen the mansion himself, and it was enough for him to live without a wife or children.

Butler Li just brought the family to the main courtyard in the front yard, and sweat was already visible on his forehead. Su Laoer really couldn't bear the old man to follow him.

"Steward Li, you can go down and rest first, we can just go shopping by ourselves."

Butler Li also knew that his body was not up to par, but he had no reason to let his master turn around on his first visit, otherwise he would not know where he was.

"The old slave is really not up to par, so he won't accompany the prince anymore, so he asked Liang Hua to serve him. He is the second housekeeper in the house, and he is in charge of most things in the house now."

After Butler Li finished speaking, a middle-aged man standing behind him walked forward and bowed to the four members of the Su family.

Su Laoer thought that if he disagreed, the old housekeeper would feel uneasy.

"Sure, then let him follow."

With the second housekeeper of the county prince's palace following them, the pace of the few people also accelerated a lot. Su Yu asked the question she wanted to ask the most.

"Steward Liang, I heard that the former properties of the Prince's Palace were taken back by Zongren's Palace. I wonder where the daily expenses of the Palace come from?"

"Returning to the county master, after the previous property of the county prince's mansion was taken back, the expenses in the county prince's mansion were all money collected from the clan's mansion. The fourth prince has been dead for more than ten years, so it stands to reason that this mansion should have been taken back long ago. , it’s just that the county prince’s palace is a bit small, and the previous princes didn’t like it, so he was kept.”

Although several of the emperor's brothers have gone to the fiefdom, there are still houses in Kyoto City. The county prince's mansion previously followed the specifications of the prince's palace. In the future, only those who can move into this county prince's mansion are of princely rank, and the Su family is just a prince. Only by virtue of being a descendant of the Fourth Prince can I live in this mansion.

She said why this house has always been empty, it turns out that others don't like it.

Su Laoer and his wife were shocked when they heard this. Is this house considered small? They have been gone for a quarter of an hour and they haven't finished visiting the house yet. They really don't understand what the royal family thinks.

Then the family continued to walk around, and after they had finished walking around the house, they stopped and walked around for more than an hour.

Su Yu already had a rough idea of ​​the layout of the house. The house was divided into front and back yards. There were four front yards in total, the main yard was the largest, and the other three yards were all about the same size.

There are a total of six yards in the backyard, two of which are the largest, and the other four are of average size. There is a piece of land in the back separated by a wall. There are four or five very small yards inside, and there are a few rows of houses on the side. The small courtyard should be for the somewhat respectable stewards in the mansion, and the house is for the servants.

After shopping, the family returned to the front lobby. After asking Liang Hua to step aside, the family started discussing.

According to the couple's opinion, the house is good enough. There is nothing to change. They only need to repair some damaged areas. However, this is just their opinion. In the end, it still depends on the wishes of their children.

Although the Bai family was not as big as the Prince's Palace in the past, the courtyards were all beautifully decorated. Su Yan didn't have many requirements in this regard, so all three members of the family turned their attention to Su Yu.

"Yu'er, do you have any ideas?"

Su Yu was very happy. Her parents and eldest brother knew that she wouldn't be able to live in the house for a few years, but they still asked her for her opinion.

"Let's move here tomorrow. We'll live in the main yard in the front yard first. I'll draw the drawings of the other yards for you to see first. If there's anything you don't like, I'll change it."

"Okay, listen to my daughter, we will move tomorrow."
