Chapter 215 Discussion

In the next two days, the word "provincial relatives" was circulated everywhere in the house. Even the slave girls were talking about it, but no one could tell clearly what was going on. .

In Rongqing Hall, Jia’s mother called all the people involved in the two mansions.

Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. You plus Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng sat at the lowest position, but her mood was excited and happy.

Having been a granddaughter-in-law for so many years, this is the first time that the elders have discussed matters, and she is qualified to take a seat!

In the past, when Jia Mu and others were discussing business matters, they would never call her. Even if she was curious, she could only sit aside with a face and act as a bystander, not daring to speak easily.

But today, she was busy making proper arrangements for the huge amount of money that had been moved from the west wing...

She really didn’t expect that those minions were really that kind. Honestly, you actually handed over so much money!

That night, she sent more than 7,000 people to the official for registration, and then they kept 8,000 in their own hands.

He simply admired his own man for being able to squeeze so much oil and water out of the hands of those human beings!

In comparison, I had worked hard for a year before, even though I had exhausted all the agencies, I could only earn thousands of dollars. At that time, I was very complacent... After all, when I was a girl in the Wang family, It would be great to get hundreds of taels a year, but it doubled tenfold...

Only now do I realize that I was just a frog in the well before!

Sure enough, you still have the power to make money quickly. For example, you don’t dare to blackmail those extremely rich slaves no matter what...

It is precisely because of this The heartless person has a title, and they all know that they will soon be promoted to the second grade. Therefore, the old lady, madam, and the others would call her for such a thing today!

Otherwise, why didn’t they ask the wan sister-in-law to come?

Today, the old lady called everyone here to discuss the matter of marriage. The biggest difficulty in the family at present is that there is not enough money in the official treasury to support such a big thing.

But what does it have to do with her? Anyway, the old lady and the others seemed to be calling her just for fun, pretending, and didn’t ask her anything from the beginning to the end. They probably thought that they had no ability. It doesn't take much effort.

Hum, how do they know how rich they are now...

Alas, it’s a pity that the eldest master’s treasures were unconscionably refused to be handed over to her custody!

That’s a big boss, and in the eyes of outsiders, their family’s biggest asset. Even the eldest wife is still staring at it...

That’s okay, anyway, the heartless person is only thinking about it now He is in the officialdom and has no intention of going out to fool around. He can just take care of it, and there is no need to worry about the eldest wife coming to disturb the autumn wind.

Anyway, she knows where he puts his money!

The beautiful days inside and outside made Wang Xifeng feel happy all day long. At this time, he was sitting in the hall and was bored. He couldn't help but secretly calculate his rich family fortune in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face involuntarily.

"Girl Feng, what do you mean? Girl Feng...?"

"Huh? Oh..."

Wang Xifeng was distracted. She didn't quite hear what Jia Mu said to her just now.

But she was quick-witted and could figure out what Jia Mu was probably talking about based on the context, so she smiled and said: "What the old lady said is that such a great grace has been given throughout the dynasties. It’s also rare.

Our family just happened to be so lucky, how could we miss it?

In my opinion, let alone two or three hundred thousand Two pieces of silver, even if our family sells iron and steel, we must handle this matter well and make it a success.

Even if we are more frugal in the future, we must not let our mother-in-law be wronged!
>
Well, it’s a pity that I don’t have the ability. If I could have a million-dollar brother, I would give this money to myself, so that there would be no need for old ladies and gentlemen to do this. "Take the trouble..."

Wang Xifeng's words made everyone present roll their eyes.

Who in the whole house doesn’t know that you, Feng Lazi, are a miser. Except for spending money on the old lady to please her, you don’t treat anyone like a rooster?

You paid the money out alone...

Don’t say you don’t have the ability, even if you really have that much money, I’m afraid you won’t be able to get even one more cent. come out!

Everyone complained about Wang Xifeng Guanghui, but Jia Mu laughed and asked: "Oh? Since you said that, I don't want you to go out alone, you just say, How much can you pay?"

"This, the old lady was joking, how could my three melons and two dates catch the old lady's eye? The old lady randomly took out something from her box Come on, I only have two eyes to shine, so how dare I get involved in such a big thing."

Sure enough, I shrink back when I show my true intentions.

Youshi and others shook their heads in amusement.

Jia Mu refused to let her go, continued to press: "I don't like your three melons and two dates, so you don't have to be afraid. Your wife and I have already discussed the matter of money, and we have roughly got it together!
< br />It’s just that such a big event requires countless expenses. If there are any gaps in the future, I’m afraid you will have to fill them with your three melons and two dates.

You just say, when the time comes, how much can you give? Nian Jia Mu is still quite energetic, and she spent a lot of time cultivating her.

Therefore, Jia Mu’s feelings for Yuan Chun are no worse than Mrs. Wang’s.

This time, the palace has granted a favor, allowing the concubines to return to their parents’ homes to visit their relatives. How important a gift is this to the concubines who will never be able to go home as soon as they enter the palace?

The meaning is far more than just going home to see your mother and elders!

Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, who originally felt that they were in debt, naturally tried their best to facilitate this important event.

Originally, they also thought about asking everyone in the family to raise money together, but they also thought that firstly, the others were not very wealthy themselves, and secondly, if they were allowed to bleed, they would inevitably have resentments in their hearts, and they would not be able to do things in the future. If you are not active, you will let down this great happy event.

After thinking about it, I still felt that the best way was for the two of them to put money down.

Fortunately, the Jia family is indeed a big family. Even if there is a shortage of officials at this time, the two of them can still mobilize a lot of money from the family, the north and the south. In fact, they are really grateful. There isn’t much to make up for.

Seeing that she could not escape, Wang Xifeng changed her strategy decisively and said with a smile: "Since the old lady said that, I will go all out, and I am not afraid that the old lady will dislike the joke.

I I have only been in the family for a short time and have not accumulated much wealth.

Fortunately, when I got married, my second uncle and aunt treated me well and gave me a dowry, although it was not as good as my wife's. But it’s still pretty good.

It’s a pity that I was deceived by Mr. Lian all those years, which caused me a lot of trouble..."

Everyone heard this. laughed.

Everyone knows that this is why Jia Mu likes Wang Xifeng. With her around, she can always make everyone laugh.

"Now that the old lady has asked this, I won’t hide it any more. I still have five thousand in silver at home. As long as the old lady likes it, I will use it all to do big things for the family. It doesn’t matter. At worst, I will just tighten my belt and live a better life. If I come to the house, I won’t be short-changed.”

Wang Xifeng seemed to be under the influenceAs if he was very determined, he made a pained expression after speaking.

Everyone just smiled, not expecting Wang Xifeng to do anything.

Putting aside everything else, it was indeed too short for her and Jia Lian to start a family. Jia Lian only started working as an official outside in the past two years. Even if he didn’t have only five thousand in cash as Wang Xifeng said, Probably not much more.

Only Mrs. Wang glanced at Wang Xifeng sideways.

Mao girl, you are still pretending to be in front of me...

If nothing else, just the Jingxu pole in Shuiyue Temple, you two ate thousands of them silver!

Qianer took away the money from the slaves, and maybe he also took part of it. Who would believe what he said now.

Of course, Jia Mu didn’t really want Wang Xifeng to give her money. They had already done a lot, so why bother letting others share the credit for a mere five thousand?

So he just smiled and started to discuss the following things.

The issue of silver has probably been settled. Next, it is time to discuss how and where to build the palace.

First, it’s site selection.

Jia Zhen: "I have asked people to go out to inquire in the past two days. Several families with empresses in the palace are actively preparing.

Among them, the father of Zhou Guiren in the palace , has decided to start construction at home, and is preparing to build the provincial residence, and is already hiring various craftsmen.

There is also Concubine Wu in the palace. The Wu family is wealthy, and she was busy promoting this project that day. Yesterday, I heard that the master of the Wu family, Wu Tianyou, personally took his people to look at places outside the city. I think he wanted to choose a geomantic treasure land and build a garden now!

Now our family In this situation, the old lady thinks it is better to renovate the house at home, or to build it elsewhere like the Wu family?"

What Jia Zhen said is also the key.

The most important thing in this kind of thing is face.

Needless to say, the noble Zhou was several positions shorter than Yuanchun.

Concubine Wu is naturally one level higher than Yuanchun.

Therefore, each family must compare with each other. The comparison picture should be good-looking, but it should not be too excessive, otherwise it will offend others.

Jia Zheng thought for a while and said: "If you go out to see the place, it will cost a lot of money, and it will be inconvenient for the queen to return to the province in the future.

What I mean is, It’s the same when breaking ground at home.

Our house is big enough anyway, so we should be able to carve out a space.”

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang said: "Although our home is large, the main hall and the old lady's yard must not be moved.

In this way, the east courtyard (not the east cross courtyard) at the back and the back People's houses in the surrounding area can all be demolished, but the space is still too small..."

As a mother, Mrs. Wang came back from the Yuanchun visit mainly to see her, so why would she not prepare one? A place spacious enough and elegant enough for Yuanchun to settle down?

Although Rongguo Mansion is large, the main building in the front cannot be moved, and the movable ones in the back are not enough.

Therefore, Mrs. Wang could not help but look at Jia and Zhen below.

The same goes for Jia Zheng.

Jia Zhen’s heart skipped a beat, and she vaguely sensed something was wrong.

Could it be that they are eyeing the territory in their house?

The two mansions of Ning and Rong were built at the same time during the Taizu period and stood side by side with only a narrow corridor in between.

The part where their Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion are next to each other, with the Jia Family Ancestral Hall in front, is naturally impossible to move.

Behind the Jia Ancestral Hall is the large garden of Ningguo Mansion - Huifang Garden!

Jia Zhen already understood, good guy, waiting for him here.

Huifang Garden is the largest and most iconic site in Ningguo Mansion. Because of its beautiful scenery and picturesque landscapes, Jia Zhen and his wife often invite Jia Mu there to enjoy it.

He understood the plans of Jia Zheng and others very well.

How wonderful Huifang Garden is. If the wall between the two mansions were demolished and incorporated into the palace, there would be no need to spend more money and just some repairs would be top-notch. Landscape scenery!

Jia Zhen stopped talking.

Youshi looked around. In such a situation, she did not dare to speak randomly.

The two of them did not speak, and Jia Zheng and his wife did not dare to force them, so no one spoke for a while.

Jia Mu looked at it from above and sighed slightly in her heart.

Although the two houses are as close as one family, all major matters are discussed together.

But moving the ancestral home would still be a huge loss for the Ningguo Mansion, and I’m afraid they won’t be willing.

If we continue to insist, we may damage the relationship between the two governments.

That’s all, this matter needs to be discussed in private and alone, with reason and emotion.

When Yuanchun became the imperial concubine, it not only glorified Rongguo Mansion, but also the entire Jia Mansion, and the same was true for the eldest son, Ningguo Mansion.

If Ningguo Mansion could be allowed to carve out Huifang Garden, this important matter would undoubtedly be half as simple, so we must facilitate it no matter what.

If it really didn’t work out, she could only come up with tens of thousands of silver, so Zhen’er could relax...

With a plan in mind, Jia Mu changed the subject and looked at Wang Xifeng Said: "Why hasn't your Lian Er come back yet? What is he busy with every day now?"

"Old lady, don't mention him. It's rare to see him return home in the past two days.
/>
It was said that it was the birthday of some princess. In order to celebrate the birthday of his sister, the prince was going to hold an outing outside the city.

I heard that the prince, grandsons and grandsons would all go to a large university by then. Heap.

The imperial court was afraid of being unsafe, so it asked him to lead troops to set up defenses.

Everyone knows that the Soldiers and Horses Division does these dirty jobs. This is also Not surprising.

So he has been busy with this matter for the past two days. He has to go out of the city several times a day, and he seems to be exhausted when he comes back at night.

I call him Be smart. If you have any hard work, remember to leave it to the people below to take care of it. Don't be so honest, he won't listen."

After Jia Mu and others heard this, they all had their own plans.

Finally, Jia Lian was out of their sight.

Seriously, this should be considered a good thing. The Crown Prince is the future Holy Emperor. If he can make a good impression in front of the Crown Prince in advance when doing this errand, his future will be better. !

"You also said that he is honest, but you are not the same.

"I often hear him talking about you and telling you to take care of yourself more, but why don't you listen?
/>
I see, your family Lian Er is getting more and more productive now. If this continues, he might be promoted someday.

If you don’t pay attention to maintenance, give him a son as soon as possible. , aren’t you afraid that he will get rich and mess around with others in the future?”

Jia Mu teased Wang Xifeng with a smile.

Wang Xifeng immediately blushed and said a few words, but she was too embarrassed to say too much in front of others.

While we were chatting and laughing, we heard rumors from outside: "Second Master Lian is back."

Jia Mu and others hurriedly said: "Go and call him over quickly."

Nowadays, things at home cannot be separated from Jia Lian, especially for such a big event, he needs to be present.
