Chapter 217 Intended for Jia Zhen

Mrs. Wang was stunned when she heard Jia Lian say that, and suddenly felt a burning feeling in her heart. Was she ashamed?

She didn’t want to admit it, so she hurriedly said: “It’s rare that you have such a heart, how much can you give?”

Mrs. Wang thought, if it is only a few thousand taels That doesn't mean he was wronged, but it's just nice to say.

When Jia She held the funeral, she even shed thousands of blood!

"Some things have not yet been completely sold, but I have asked many masters from antique shops to appraise them. If they are all sold, there will be at least 25,000 taels of silver."

Jia Lian said, looking back at Wang Xifeng, "Girl Feng, how much money do we have at home?"

"What?"

Wang Xifeng was heartbroken. Jumping, I almost couldn't stand it anymore. Could it be that the heartless person took the wrong medicine again?

When she heard what he said just now, she felt very anxious, but she was not sure of Jia Lian's plan and did not express her attitude.

Now that it’s not enough to see him taking out that heavy sum of money, he also wants to calculate the family’s savings?

After looking at Jia Lian for a few times, he finally said weakly in front of the elders: "There are still five thousand..."

There was no way, she had not counted this amount before Having said that, it’s not easy to change your mind on the spot.

Jia Lian then laughed: "That's just right, I can collect just thirty thousand silver.

After all those things are converted into cash, I will give them away together. When Jia Lian said this, Jia Mu, Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing and Jia Zhen all looked at her with wide eyes. he.

Aren’t Lian’er (Brother Lian) really joking?

Cousin, I’m not my biological sister...

It’s understandable both emotionally and logically for the old lady and my wife to offer money, but a cousin of yours is so willing to give up your heart and soul. What to do?

What are you planning?

Mrs. Wang felt very uncomfortable. She would rather Jia Lian was holding back and causing trouble in this matter...at least not acting so selflessly, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

It seems that her personality was completely crushed by Jia Lian. In front of Jia Lian, she became the person who judged the heart of a gentleman with a villain's heart.

Jia Mu, who had not spoken for a long time, took a deep breath, looked at Jia Lian seriously for a few times, and finally waved her hands and said: "You can just go ahead and handle this matter, don't worry about the money. .

　WhereI’m afraid that in the end, it doesn’t matter if there is still one hundred thousand taels left..."

Jia Mu’s intention is very clear. In order to complete this matter, she is willing to spend another one hundred thousand taels!

Everyone stood up and bowed to Jia Mu, Jia Zheng also wanted to give some advice.

It was unfilial to let Jia Mu use his own body for family matters, and it was such a big deal. The amount.

But Jia Mu waved her hand very freely and stopped Jia Zheng's words.

She had already prepared her coffin, and the rest Those left for Baoyu are the same as the flowers left for Yuanchun.

Jia Zheng forced everyone to sit down, and there was still a look of shame on Jia Zheng’s face.

Jia Zheng Zhen couldn't sit still anymore, stood up again, cupped her hands and said: "For our mother-in-law's happy event, even brother Lian spent so much money. If I, the elder brother, don't contribute, how can I get through it?

It’s just that the old ladies and gentlemen all know that our house over there can’t compare to this one...

That’s all, it’s useless to talk too much, everyone should know. In short, I should still be able to come up with thirty thousand taels, and prepare it for our mother-in-law’s wedding expenses. ”

Jia Zhen had no choice but to put Jia Lian on fire because of his selflessness.

He is the eldest brother of the fourth generation of the Jia family and the patriarch. Even Jia Lian spent 30,000 silver to deal with this great family event. If he sat still, where would he put his face?

But he was talking about preparations, not taking it out immediately. Put it into the officials here, that is to say, if there is no shortage of money here in the end, he may not be able to pay this money...

Jia Lian was waiting for this moment and immediately expressed his admiration He stood up and bowed his hands to Jia Zhen, saying:

"Brother Zhen is a righteous man. With a generous man like Brother Zhen as the patriarch of our family, why worry about the whole family being unable to unite as one? Why worry that my Jia family will not prosper?

However, we do know the situation in Brother Zhen’s house, and we really don’t dare to ask Brother Zhen to empty the treasury just for this matter.

Brother Zhen, as the leader of the tribe, has the important responsibility of taking care of the people of the tribe, so the eldest brother cannot be short-changed..."

Being flattered by Jia Lian, Jia Zhen felt in her heart The pain in his body disappeared a lot, and a feeling of relief emerged spontaneously, so he became polite to Jia Lian, saying that there was no need to worry about him, he was doing fine there...

Seeing that Jia Zhen couldn't be persuaded to withdraw her promise, Jia Lian seemed distressed and finally said: "Since Brother Zhen insists on doing this, I don't dare to go against Brother Zhen's wishes.

Let’s do this, this amount of silverBrother Zhen really doesn’t need to go out. If Brother Zhen is interested, I have a merciless request. "

After saying that, Jia Lian asked the housekeeper to get the maps of the two mansions.

"What do you want the map for? I just have a copy here..."
/>
Jia Zheng had repeatedly surveyed the topography of the two mansions in the past two days, so he happened to bring a simple one with him.

Jia Lian moved a high stool and placed it in it. He unfolded the map, then pointed at the second half of the two mansions and said:

"Brother Zhen, look, in our mansion, Rongxi Hall is the imperial palace, and Rongqing Hall is where the old lady lives. , these two compounds cannot be moved.

The east courtyard on the east side can be moved, but it is so long and narrow and sandwiched between Rongxi Hall and the Ancestral Hall, there is really no condition for it to be included in the palace.

In this way, only the east courtyard at the back can be used to build the palace, but even if the servants’ houses in the west are included, the east and west sides will not exceed two miles. The depth is also determined to be no more than two and a half miles.

If you simply build an ornamental garden, you can do it. But as our mother-in-law’s palace, it is too petty and does not suit our mother-in-law’s identity. ”

Jia Lian did this set of actions in one go, leaving no room for Jia Zhen to react. She just stood dumbly in the hall, listening to Jia Lian’s instructions.

"But Brother Zhen, let's see. If we demolish the two sections of wall between the two mansions, it won't take too much. We only need to extend the area to the Tianxiang Tower. In this way, the total length of the east and west sides will be three and a half miles.

Such a site three and a half miles long and two and a half miles wide is enough to build a decent palace.

If it is more carefully designed and decorated to welcome our mother-in-law, it won’t look shabby. What do you think, Brother Zhen? "

"This..."

Jia Zhen began to curse in her heart.

He even suspected that Jia Lian had done so much just to give He played a trick!

Although Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang had the idea of ​​Huifangyuan before, they were too embarrassed to speak. He could also pretend not to understand.

But Jia Lian is so good, he made it clear when he came up!

How could he refuse in such a situation?

First of all, the two houses are one family. This is the history of the two houses of the Jia family for nearly a hundred years. After working hard to maintain the results, he did not dare to bear the charge of splitting the two houses.

Secondly, Haikou had already boasted that he wanted to contribute to the family's major affairs. At this time, he retorted because of selfish interests. Do you still need the credibility of his clan leader?Already?

Moreover, Jia Lian was so considerate and said that he didn’t want to pay for the thirty thousand taels of silver, so why not offer some territory? It sounded like he was taking advantage!

Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang were stunned by Jia Lian's operation. Looking at Jia Zhen who was frozen in place and speechless, they all wisely chose not to disturb.

"Of course, I also know that if this is the case, Brother Zhen will suffer a loss.

" Alas, to be honest, if it were not for such a happy event as my eldest sister returning to the province, , how dare I make such a suggestion?

In fact, given the current situation of our family, this is the best and cheapest solution.

Brother Jane’s Huifang Garden, what is the scenery inside? We all know that if it is included in the scope of the palace, not to mention much, but only in that part of Huifang Garden, most things can be left alone. In this way, it can be directly saved for the family. A lot of expenses!

The only damage is that Brother Zhen’s Huifang Garden has shrunk a part...

Well, in order to make up for Brother Zhen’s loss, We are willing to compensate Brother Zhen, no matter how much money, as long as Brother Zhen speaks, we will never talk back.”

Jia Zhen said in her heart, what do you mean by shrinking a part? By pulling it through like this, my Huifang Garden has shrunk by more than half!

"Brother Lian is joking, how can I ask for your money...

But, is this really the only way to do it? It's not that I don't want to part with a garden, it's just, After all, it is the ancestral home passed down from ancestors, and mine..."

Jia Zhen hesitated.

"This is the best way at present. Otherwise, we can only follow the example of Wu Guifei's family and go outside the city to visit places. But that way, it is not as convenient as at home, and It will cost more money.

With the current situation of our family, it will be too laborious to support it.

But if Brother Zhen is really worried, then that’s it. We are the closest relatives in the family, and it would be bad if we get into trouble over such a trivial matter.

I can’t say, it’s better to go outside the city and have a look.”

Jia Lian is a little bit Said regretfully.

Jia Zhen’s face became extremely tangled.

There is no doubt that the title of concubine in Yuanchun is a great event for both the Jia family. If he does not support and cooperate at this time, the relationship between the two houses will remain estranged from now on. The most important thing is that in the future, Ning Guo How can the government take advantage of Empress Yuanchun?

When you go out, how can you have the nerve to pretend to be a relative of the emperor?

This is him, willing to spend a full thirty thousand silverReason for coming! Because a big family does suffer from both prosperity and losses.

Logically speaking, according to the value of most of the Huifang Garden that Jia Lian delimited, it may not exceed 30,000 silver.

The reason why he hesitated was because Rongguo Mansion was already ahead of Ningguo Mansion. Fortunately, judging from the maps of the two mansions, they were equal. Now that Huifangyuan has been eliminated by the other party, this balance has been suddenly broken.

Jia Zhen kept thinking about it.

It would definitely be unwise to refuse, as it would isolate oneself from the family, so I could only agree.

Fortunately, in comparison, the scope of Rongguo Mansion that has been delimited is actually larger. As long as Yuanchun is not regarded as the Yuanchun of Rongguo Mansion, but as the empress of the Jia family, then it will be acceptable. It's much easier.

After briefly thinking of two reasons that would allow her to accept it, Jia Zhen straightened her face and said, "Brother Lian is joking. Since we are a family, this is the best way. Do I have any reason to disagree?

Let’s do it according to what brother Lian said.

Starting from the garden of our house and going around to the far west, a total of This three-and-a-half-mile place is here to build a palace for our mother-in-law."

"Thank you so much, Brother Zhen, for the promised compensation..."

"Yes ...Don’t say anything about compensation or not. If you keep saying this, you don’t treat me as a family member, so I will be angry.”

Jia Zhen actually laughed.

Jia Lian could only bow his hands and express his gratitude on behalf of Rongguo Mansion.

With the two major issues of site selection and source of money solved, all that was left was to prepare for the start of construction.

But these trivial and complicated matters cannot be explained in a short while, so when it got late, they agreed to discuss it tomorrow, and Jia Zhen and Youshi took the car back.
