Chapter 1132: Objection (1)
While it was true that the Prince’s Residence had to be shifted to a different location, it was not something that could be done overnight.
The large residence opposite King Rong’s residence was left behind by the previous dynasty. As the two families had always been close, Fan Zijin had taken a liking to this area at first glance. He and Qi Haoran had gone to take a look and saw that the houses there were well maintained. The key was that one of the residences was located beside the mountain like King Rong’s residence, and in that mountain there was a lake. Although it was not as majestic as the lake in King Rong’s residence, the scenery was still splendid.
Thus, Fan Zijin had chosen this area, and with his status as a Prince, it was just right to connect three residences into one.
One to enjoy the finer pleasures in life, Fan Zijin was very pleased. In the past, he had not constructed a garden in his residence because he had neither the time nor the extra money. Now that he no longer needed to support the national treasury with his business profits, he had a lot of spare cash. Furthermore, he was in the capital and had plenty of time. There was also enough space for him to develop his residence. With so many favorable conditions, he no longer wanted to contend with a mediocre residence.
Fan Zijin asked Qi Haoran happily, "Do you want to fix up your garden too?"
Qi Haoran thought for a moment and shook his head. "My garden is already beautiful enough. How am I supposed to fix it up?"
Fan Zijin pursed her lips. "That was built by Qin Fang, and all you did was lay new tiles. In my opinion, you should change the layout of the garden. Considering there’s such a large area for you to work with, wouldn’t it be better to separate the garden into different sections according to different styles?"
Only focused on eating and playing, Qi Haoran wasn’t interested in the garden, so he waved his hand and said, "You go ahead. Ah Ling and I will come to visit your garden when it’s done. I’m quite happy with my garden, so I reckon there’s no need to make any changes."
Fan Zijin felt that it was a pity. He had wanted the two residences to build a garden together.
Having been promoted from a Duke to a Prince, Fan Zijin’s residence had to be expanded by more than 50%. As for Qi Haoran, he was promoted from a Prince to King, so his residence also had to be expanded. Those ownership of those areas that had previously been segregated in order to avoid arousing suspicion were now returned to Qi Haoran’s name. They just had to be slightly tidied up.
