Chapter 216 Jia Lian Dances with the Sword

Jia Lian had already expected that money would not be the biggest obstacle to the Rongguo Mansion building the Grand View Garden.

As the saying goes, there are still three thousand nails left to break a ship, not to mention that the current Jia family is far from being as embarrassed as it was in the later period of the original work.

In the spring of the Yuan Dynasty, when flowers are blooming and fires are cooking, you can put together the basic framework.

So the Grand View Garden can definitely be built.

However, Jia Zhen was unwilling to use Huifang Garden to build a provincial garden, which was a bit beyond Jia Lian's expectations.

He remembered that in the original book, the Jia family worked together for this matter, and the Ningguo Mansion, like a family like the Rongguo Mansion, directly cut off most of Huifang Garden to build a garden.

Could it be that the Rongguo Mansion in the original book was really very wealthy at that time and that the money was in place?

Jia Lian has no way of studying the specific situation, but Jia Lian has been planning the Grand View Garden for a long time and really wants to see with his own eyes what the legendary Grand View Garden looks like.

Moreover, after the Grand View Garden is completed, Daiyu and others can move into the Grand View Garden. Needless to say, when Daiyu lives alone in a villa, it will not be so easy for Erbao to seduce his sister Lin...

Jia Lian, who has a suspicion in his heart, After listening to the statements of Jia Zheng and others, he said seriously:

"Preparing and building a palace for the eldest sister to return to the province is the most important thing for our family at the moment, so no matter how difficult it is at home, we will We must do our best to complete this matter.

But as the old saying goes, those who do not plan for the overall situation are not enough to plan for a domain. The matter is of great importance, but we must make complete preparations, because once this matter begins There is no such thing as giving up halfway.

So, I still have to ask, how much money can our family spend on the matter of returning our eldest sister to the province.

There are many ways to do it, and there are ways to use less. This is all debatable. The biggest fear is that the initial layout is too big, and as for the follow-up, it will not be good. Others will see our family’s jokes. Forget it, if this affects the reputation of eldest sister, how can we see her in the future?

For our family, eldest sister has lived in seclusion in the palace for so many years, and has survived the years of cardamom. It’s such a wonderful time. Now that we have managed to get through it, wouldn’t it be chilling to think that we, the closest relatives, couldn’t even take a look at her when she came home?”

When Jia Lian said this, Everyone looked sad and didn't know what to say.

Jia Mu burst into tears for a while, as if she had some difficult-to-express emotions.

　Wang Xifeng glanced at Jia Lian secretly, "We are discussing business here, why don't you act sensational and deliberately make the happy event so dull?"

Mrs. Wang was determined to get this thing done, but now she has become even more determined after listening to Jia Lian's words.

Seeing that Jia Lian really wanted to ask, he did not mince his words and said bluntly: "There is still close to one hundred thousand in the official treasury.

I discussed with the old lady before Later, in those years, the Zhen family in Jiangnan was engaged in silk business, and they kindly brought our family into the business. In the end, including the principal and dividends, we had about 50,000 silver. Since our family was not in a hurry to use silver, we did not move. Put it in Zhen's house for collection.

In addition, the rented land in Nanjing has been confiscated for several years and brought to Beijing. We have also checked the account books before. There are about three people in the treasury at the old house. A total of 180,000 taels of silver.

Putting these together, we have 180,000 taels. In addition, the old lady and I discussed and each raised another 20,000 taels of silver, so the total Two hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver is almost enough if you think about it..."

Two hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver is definitely an impressive figure.

There are thousands of wealthy people in the world, but those who can come up with this number are definitely rare. Either he is a giant businessman or he is a huge corrupt person.

Even Jia Zhen raised her eyebrows.

I thought that the expenses here over the years were huge, but I didn’t expect that there would be such a large amount of money deposited...

But after hearing this, Jia Lian shook his head.

"If we deal with the big sister thing alone, maybe it's almost enough.

But considering time, all our family's property, including house rent and land rent across the country, will at least be enough. It won’t arrive until September or October.

Does it mean that in order to take care of the big sister, all other things in our family have to be done? Obviously not, if nothing else, right now There are birthdays for the master, and there are birthdays for the old lady in August. In addition, there are daily expenses for our family, welcomes and deliveries to various mansions, and wedding gifts for the queen..."

Jia Lian’s words made others think deeply.

Yes, in the huge Rongguo Mansion, with hundreds of people, could they use up all their money at once? Even if we can deal with it this year, what about next year, the year after, and the future?

Although Wang Xifeng and others often joke that just eating enough is enough, if they really have to live in poverty, no one here has considered this issue!

Jia Zheng sighed: "Except for the old lady, I can keep everything simple this year..."

From this we can see that Jia Zheng looks arrogant on the surface, but in fact he really wants to do something.It's a matter of provincial marriage.

Jia Lian handed over to Jia Zheng and said: "Even if I am willing to wrong myself, outsiders will inevitably be suspicious when they see our family suddenly acting like this.

Therefore, I cannot delay my business. .

In fact, even if I save a sum of money from the master, it is just a drop in the bucket.

Our family is already stretched just to build the palace... Master, please don’t I forgot, when the preparations for the palace are completed, I will welcome the empress to visit the bride, but there is still a big head..."

Everyone felt nervous, yes, the concubine moved home to visit the bride, which is a great grace rarely seen in ancient times. , the family will naturally welcome it according to the highest and higher ceremony. The cost required by then will probably be an astronomical figure.

Jia Zheng was silent.

Although Mrs. Wang also knew that Jia Lian was not talking nonsense, she was eager for success. When she saw Jia Lian pouring cold water on everyone, she still couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that Lian'er was afraid that the family would spend all their money? , so you feel reluctant?

"Then what do you think our family should do? You just said it yourself, this matter is the right thing to do, and it won't stop because of money, right?

No matter how difficult our family is, it shouldn’t be like this.”

Mrs. Wang naturally had reason to doubt Jia Lian’s intentions. The previous discussions were all about the cash that the family could produce. .

When times are really extremely difficult, the family’s property and belongings can be sold casually, but which one is worthless?

There is a reason why the people in power in Rongguo Mansion, who have a century-old foundation of the Duke’s Mansion, never worry about money, because they really don’t lack money!

Jia Lian glanced at Mrs. Wang, and the contempt in his heart almost came out.

"My wife has misunderstood, and my nephew naturally does not mean this.

What I mean is that part of the official money should be reserved for other important matters at home. We can’t all use it to do the wedding ceremony.

The marriage ceremony is a great joy, and if it is done, it is the glory of our entire Jia family.

So, I I feel that in this matter, the old lady and my wife can’t be the only ones to contribute money. As a member of the family, we should also have the money to contribute and the ability to contribute.”

Jia Lian said, looking around at everyone. He made a circle and said: "My father was fond of collecting toys when he was alive. This was his old man's hobby. As a son, I support it.

Originally I wanted to collect all the things that his old man loved during his lifetime. Putting it in his tomb to relieve his old man's troubles can be regarded as a filial piety from a son.

But then I thought about it, most of the things that the old man left behind were of great value. If they were all put into the tomb, it would inevitably make Xiaoxiao worried...

So in the end, only He chose a few of his old man's favorite things to sacrifice in them, and turned the rest into money, thinking that if there was any big event in the family in the future, it would be prepared for emergencies.

I didn’t expect to meet him so soon.

Therefore, if my wife doesn’t mind it, my nephew is willing to use all the money to do important things for the family. Although it is not much, it can be regarded as the nephew's intention as a member of the family. ”

Jia Lian’s words surprised everyone.

Since ancient times, who doesn’t love money? Who is willing to use his own money for everyone to use together if he can’t give out silver?

As soon as Jia Lian finished saying this, Mrs. , she should have her share in the argument...

However, at this time, even if she was reluctant, she did not dare to object.
