The Lai family lives in an alley two streets away from Rongguo Mansion.

As the most powerful servant of the Jia family, although they carry the status of a servant, in the eyes of their neighbors, the Lai family is definitely not someone to be messed with.

The Lai family has two rooms in total. The two brothers have separated a long time ago. The old lady of the family lives with the eldest son Lai Da.

The house Lai Da’s family lives in now is only a private residence according to regulations, but it occupies a large area. There are at least seven or eight small courtyards within the large courtyard. Inside, there are all kinds of decorations including rock corridors, flowers, plants and trees, and they are all available, without any sense of being stingy.

Even so, Lai Da’s family still seems not satisfied. Recently, they have taken a fancy to the land behind the house, intending to buy it and expand the family house again.

At this time, Mr. and Mrs. Lai, Grandma Lai and others took advantage of the break to talk about this matter.

"I have already contacted those owners. Except for the Li family who said it was their ancestral home and there was no room for negotiation, the other owners did not reject them outright. I think if the price is right, everything can be done. It's all easy to negotiate.

The only thing I'm worried about now is that once we actually buy these lands and build a garden for the old lady, if the government knows about it, I'm afraid they will be too worried." Lai Da He took a sip of tea, put down the cup and sighed.

How could Grandma Lai and others not understand what he said. Not to mention buying land, building a garden, even if it is just a simple one, will definitely require a lot of money. This point cannot be concealed even if one wants to.

Although they have worked hard in Rongguo Mansion for decades, their masters all know that they are rich. But if we really do such a thing all at once, I'm afraid the masters will still have some ideas in their hearts.

If I say give up, I really don’t want to.

If this thing can be done, the Lai family will be able to have their own garden like the master's house. Not only can you enjoy it yourself, but it will also give you more face when friends and relatives come, right?

Secondly, if you don’t do something, it would be a pity to keep the money in vain...

"There is no need to worry about the old lady. She is kind to others, and I serve her. I have been with her all my life, and although we are known as master and servant, we are actually as close as sisters, so even if she knows that our family is better off, she will not be harsh," said Aunt Lai.

Originally, Lai Da and his wife took the initiative to mention this matter, saying that they wanted to build a garden for her elderly family to use for their retirement.

She had some concerns at first, but now that the matter has been discussed, she is the one who is most reluctant to give up.

Grandma Lai has been serving Jia Mu since she was a girl, and has won Jia Mu’s trust.. Relying on Jia Mu's favor, not only does she now have many children and grandchildren, but she also imitates Jia Mu at home and lives a happy life like an "ancestor."

Of course, it’s the kind of person who only has lining but no face. When I usually arrive at Jia's house, I see the masters acting like slaves.

Therefore, all of Grandma Lai’s pursuit in her old age is to try to get closer to Jia Mu’s high-level and elegant life.

She was envious of Jia Mu’s large flower hall, which was spacious and beautiful.

Therefore, she also got one at home. But due to the limitations of the place, I still feel that Xiaojiazi is very angry and cannot be compared with Jia Mu's flower hall.

Now that the Jia Family Grand View Garden was built, it was surrounded by mountains and rivers, just like a world in a painting. The beautiful garden made her couldn't help but fantasize, if she could have one too What a nice garden!

Even if it is smaller or worse, as long as it is yours, then your life is still worth it, right?

Lai Dashen felt that his mother was right. Jia Mu was indeed a very generous person, and she was indeed very kind to her mother. Otherwise, how could it be possible for the two brothers to serve as the chief managers of the Jia family's Rongning Second Mansion at the same time?

Ability and loyalty alone are not enough.

"Not to mention the old lady, even if it is the master and his wife, there is no need to worry too much.

The only thing the son is worried about is that Mr. Lian... the mother should I still remember what the second brother said last time, and I’m afraid that if I make him worry too much, I might get into trouble in the future..."

Lai Da was also hesitant, wanting to enjoy it. , grandiose, but also afraid of revealing wealth and causing trouble.

"Otherwise, let's forget it...Second Master Lian is not as easy to talk to as I am. If what his second uncle said was true, Second Master Lian would have been dissatisfied with our Lai family for a long time. , it was only for the sake of the old lady that we didn’t have an attack...

The government is already short of money. If we buy land to build a garden at this time, wouldn’t we mean to anger him?

"Daddy, don't forget what happened to the Shan family back then..."

When Lai Da and Aunt Lai heard this, they were both frightened. As one of the former stewards of the Rongguo Mansion, the Shan family was not as well-established as the Lai family, but they were promoted by Jia Mu. However, they were caught by Jia Lian for being greedy. Not only was Shan Daliang himself beaten to death, but also Shan Daliang was beaten to death. The whole family was driven to the extreme cold north to farm.

Learning from the past, we must take precautions.

"Old lady, how about we postpone this matter for now and discuss it in the future?"

After hearing what Lai Da said, Aunt Lai nodded quickly: "Then take your time...but you can buy the land of those families first, otherwise I'm afraid they will regret it if it's too late."

"Follow the old lady's words, When my son is free, I will discuss buying land with them."

It's just a few pieces of land. If it is not publicized, there is no need to worry. Having been the chief steward of Rongguo Mansion for more than ten years, he has long been very skilled in how to deceive superiors and deceive subordinates without leaking information.

……

After Jia Lian returned home, Sister Feng had already eaten.

When he saw Jia Lian coming back, he told Jia Lian what happened in the afternoon while serving Jia Lian.

Sister Feng originally wanted to see Jia Lian’s abnormal reaction, but when she found that there was no abnormal reaction, she couldn’t help but sit next to Jia Lian and asked with a smile: “What, why are you not angry this time?”

"Why should I be angry?"

Jia Lian asked back and continued eating.

Sister Feng pouted. She had already seen how much Jia Lian cared about Daiyu, and men seemed to be naturally stingy about such things, even Jia Lian was no exception. Last time Jia Baoyu made trouble in Daiyu's room, Jia Lian's tough reaction was proof.

Also, I still remember that when Baoyu was so young, he would not let him ride in the same carriage with him, which was obviously petty...

"It's rare that you don't Angry, the old lady even made a special trip to ask you to come over. I think it was just for this matter. When you are free later, remember to go to the old lady."

Sister Feng confessed, Then leave.

Jia Lian stopped her, "Now that the Queen's wedding is over, it's time to reward the slaves based on their merits.

I will give you all the rewards you deserve. It has been prepared and placed in the official palace. You will summon all the slaves to the courtyard in a while and reward them according to the plan previously agreed upon."

When Sister Feng heard this, she also Feel surprised. It is the tradition of the Jia family to reward people based on their merits after major events.

"Why, you don't come in person and let me do it alone?" Sister Feng said jokingly.

"You finish the first thing first, and I will be there when the time comes. By the way, Ping'er has to lend me your help tonight."

"You want What is Ping'er doing?"

Sister Feng asked subconsciously. Seeing Jia Lian's brows furrowed and then his eyes turned cold, she was stunned and immediately reacted: "Could it be that you are planning to do it tonight? ...?”

After all, they are a couple sleeping together. Jia Lian has many plans, but Sister Feng still knows about them.

　“What,no? "

Upon hearing Jia Lian's tone, Sister Feng was immediately convinced.

"You must do it tonight? If you don't think about it anymore, the old lady is still there after all, she is just a slave, and the cleaning is not the same in the morning and in the evening.

According to me, it’s not too late to settle the accounts after the old lady has gone..."

Sister Feng tried her best to persuade.
< br />　“Excessive indulgence is itself a crime. I have given him opportunities many times, but he doesn't know how to cherish them. In this case, what kind of affection can there be? I've told you before, you don't have to worry about this matter, just cooperate with me. I will handle everything with the old lady. ”

Seeing that Jia Lian’s attitude was so resolute, Sister Feng didn’t say anything.

Anyway, she was right not to get involved in this matter. Maybe Jia Mu would take advantage of it. Jia Lian, the eldest grandson, doesn’t have much to do, but it’s really easy to put on small shoes for her. Therefore, Jia Lian is doing this for her sake.
