Chapter 214: First Discussion on the Provincial Provincial Family

While the housekeeper’s wives were trying their best to avoid the eyes and ears of others and send the money to Sister Feng’s courtyard, Jia Zheng had already gone to court.

He returned to Rongguo Mansion in a hurry and immediately found Mrs. Wang to discuss important matters.

"Master, are you telling the truth?"

Mrs. Wang could no longer keep her mind of cultivating Buddhism and stood up suddenly, almost tripping over the Kang table.

When Jia Zheng saw Mrs. Wang losing her temper, he had no intention of blaming her.

Huh, after all, this is a girl’s family, and she will lose her composure when encountering big things. How can I, the master, not be surprised by honor or disgrace!

"Of course I won't lie to you.

" The exact news has been spread in the palace, because the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager praised the Holy One for being filial, pure and benevolent. The old sage was overjoyed.

The special decree was to allow the family members of Jiao Fang to visit the palace, which was bound by the country's rules and rituals. The mother and daughter could not be contented, but they were so generous.

We have issued an order to all the nobles and nobles of the Jiaofang family. In addition to the grace of being allowed to enter the palace on the 26th, any house in Chongyu Courtyard that can stay in a defensive place may wish to invite the royal family members of the inner court to enter their private residences.

"You can spare the family affection of flesh and blood, it is the most important thing in heaven."

Jia Zheng stroked his beard and told all the news he heard in the palace.

Mrs. Wang was very unable to restrain her emotions.

When the daughter, who had not yet grown hair, was sent to the palace, mother and daughter rarely saw each other for seven or eight years.

Even if the great joyous event was the last time when my daughter was granted the title of concubine, we could only meet her casually in Fengzao Palace. But because there are eunuchs and maids everywhere, they don't even dare to fulfill their wish to hold their daughter.

Now, the saint has allowed his daughter to go home to visit relatives. For her, isn’t this a great joy to make up for her shortcomings?

So how can we give up and ask Jia Zheng to submit a petition to Yuanchun to go home and visit his relatives.

Jia Zheng snorted: "I think you are confused. Even if the saint sends a decree, how can the empress, with her body of thousands of gold, be able to go home casually?

Didn’t you hear what was said in the edict that any mansion that invites the empress to go home to visit her relatives must have a Chongyu Villa, which can be guarded at the gate?

The implication , we need an independent courtyard that can be used as the queen’s palace!

Although our mansion is large and there are many yards, where can we find a place that is large enough to be the queen’s palace? "

Mrs. Wang slapped a ladle of cold water on her face and said with great reluctance."So, our family can no longer invite your mother-in-law to come home to visit the bride?"

Jia Zheng frowned and glanced at him, saying: "Why are you panicking? Since the saint has shown mercy, he will I won't be disrespectful.

When I went to court, we had already gathered together to discuss it.

Let's see what the palace wants. If you ask your empress to return home to visit her relatives, you must build a temporary palace for your empress alone!"

"Then we will build a palace for your empress." Mrs. Wang said hurriedly.

Jia Zheng was a little unhappy and asked her if she knew how much it would cost to build the palace?

Mrs. Wang asked: "Isn't there even enough money in the official treasury?"

Jia Zheng sneered: "Although I have not cared about family affairs these years, but the official treasury I still know what the palace is like.

What is the status of our concubine? If the palace built for our concubine is not good, not only will the concubine not be able to hold her head high in front of other concubines, but also us. The century-old reputation of the Jia family has also been ruined!

In my opinion, if you don’t have enough money, it’s better not to accept the invitation.”

Mrs. Wang was a little silent, she seemed I understand how difficult it is to handle this extremely glorious thing.

"Lian'er raided several slaves yesterday and added a lot of money to the official..."

Jia Zheng continued to attack ruthlessly: "Don't I’m so delusional, what can I do with that little money?

Take the Ministry of Industry’s construction of the palace for His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince in the past two years, which cost nearly three hundred thousand taels!

Our mother-in-law is the fourth concubine, how can the construction of the palace be shabby?

Even if it cannot be compared with the prince's palace, at least it cannot be too far behind."

Mrs. Wang knew that Jia Zheng had been on duty at the Ministry of Industry and would not say anything bad about this kind of thing, so she asked: "According to your opinion, if we want to welcome our mother-in-law to visit the bride, how much money should we prepare at least?"

Jia Zhengdao: "According to my calculations, you must have at least two hundred thousand silver to be qualified to plan this matter.

Otherwise, let's stop talking. "

Two hundred thousand, the difference between the money in the official position is too far...

Mrs. Wang also fell into silence. After a while, "If not, , let’s talk about this matter with the old lady first and see what she means..."

When Jia Zheng heard this, he knew what his wife meant...

She wants to trick the old lady into loving her!

This is related to Jia Zheng’s planIt's a little different.

He thought that Mrs. Wang would think of asking the Wang family to support...

In recent years, Prince Teng’s official career has been prosperous, and the Wang family is now the most prosperous among the four major families. As Mrs. Wang is the eldest daughter of the Wang family and the niece of the Yuanchun Wang family, the Wang family should be willing to support!

Of course, he would definitely not express such thoughts on his own initiative, so he nodded lightly, said nothing, and went back to Mengpo Zhai.

When a problem is thrown to you, it’s up to you to decide what you can do.

　…

Because he had to deploy defense work out of the city, Jia Lian did not go to the government office until the afternoon.

When he returned home, he didn’t care much when he heard the word “visit relatives” being spread around the family.

It’s just expected.

Seeing that Jia Zheng and others did not look for him, he pretended that he did not know and still led his people as planned to survey the terrain in the East Cross Courtyard and prepare to build his own martial arts field, horse riding path, etc.

He was not worried at all that he would not be able to do this.

To put it bluntly, what is the little money in the official position?

It’s just a place that everyone expects to put money in their pockets every year.

If you really want to raise money, apart from anything else, Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang can get this thing done.

These two old women can’t be underestimated sometimes...

Even Jia Lian’s plan is that if this matter can be used, Jia Mu Just squeeze out the private pockets of Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wang.

The so-called money is confidence. As long as their confidence is reduced, it will be easier for him to do things in the future.

However, although Jia Lian didn't care, Wang Xifeng cared very much.

When it was time to have dinner, Wang Xifeng couldn’t wait to talk about this matter with Jia Lian.

"The greater good news you mentioned yesterday, did you mean the marriage visit?"

Wang Xifeng finally took Jia Lian's words to heart.

There is no other way. Learning yesterday that he was allowed to visit the palace on the 26th is enough to make people feel that God's grace is so great, but Jia Lian said that even greater God's grace is yet to come.

Sure enough, it has come true today. How can this not make her, who is not afraid of anything, murmur in her heart?

Jia Lian smiled and said: "Compared with how I know, shouldn't you be more concerned that once the family decides to do this, our family will be impoverished?"< br />
Wang XifengImmediately asked: "You mean, this can be done?"

"I said it can be done, do you believe it?"

"I believe it! From now on From now on, you can tell me that the sun will rise from the west one day, and I will believe it!"

Wang Xifeng was truly convinced.

Forgetting everything that happened in the past, Jia Lian can actually take into account the things that the palace only showed mercy today. This is amazing.

She still clearly remembered that Jia Lian told her yesterday to hide the money at home, because there might be a big hole in the house that needs to be filled soon.

How about it, it’s here today.

Once we really want to build a palace for the empress to visit her relatives, wouldn’t it be a huge hole?

Everything was predictable, which made Wang Xifeng feel a chill on her back.

If everything else about her man hadn’t been normal, she might have wanted to invite a master to come to the town to see if Jia Lian was possessed by an evil spirit...

Make up your mind, if anything happens in the future, try not to hide it from him, otherwise you won’t feel at ease!

After discussing with Jia Lian the general strategy for dealing with the issue of pro-provincial marriage, Wang Xifeng asked again: "How is it? I see you just came out of the west wing, how much did you collect?"
< br /> Jia Lian smiled and deliberately tested Wang Xifeng's eyesight: "Guess."

Wang Xifeng curled his lips and said cooperatively: "Three thousand?"

Jia Lian shook his head.

　“Five thousand?”

　“It can’t be ten thousand, right? Haha, if that’s the case, these slaves in our family are really too honest.”

According to government regulations, those who embezzle money or steal two or three taels of property from their master will have their hands chopped off.

Exceeding ten taels is a proper death penalty.

The total number of housekeepers and deacons in the family is ten thousand taels. Doesn’t each person pay an average of four to five hundred taels?

Then no matter where you go, you are always dead. Are those slaves really that honest?

Jia Lian smiled and said: "I have asked Xiangling and Qingwen to collect half of it. In order not to attract attention, you should not make any plans for this money yet and just leave it in the west. Inside the compartment.

The remaining half is piled outside. You can send someone to move it to the official residence later."

She has her heart set on it.

Pass and keep half, this is what smart people do!
