dream of red mansion

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Lai Sheng seemed very busy, and even walked into the study with wind in his footsteps.

"Second Master, are you looking for me?"

"Have you explained everything outside?"

Lai Sheng replied: "Not yet, now that we have a mother, there are many places to move in the house, but no matter how busy it is, it can't compare to the mansion over there. My elder brother, sister-in-law and the others are so busy today that their feet don't even touch the ground. , so it’s not appropriate, just now I sent someone to let my mother-in-law go to help..."

"I don't care about these things. Let me ask you, is there a lot of high-quality aged wood in our farm?" Jia Qing said.

"If there is high-quality wood, there are not many on our farm..."

Seeing Jia Qing frowning, Lai Sheng said again: "Because our family doesn't have many Zhuangzi in the capital, and almost all of them are farms, so there is not much wood. However, if you count the Zhuangzi in the south, there will be more.

The Zhuangzi in the south were all left by the great grandfather, and several of them had more than [-] fertile fields, and the vast forests in Dazhuangzi contained a lot of high-quality wood. "

Jia Qing murmured: "Is it to the south..."

Seeing that Jia Qing thought it was too far away, Lai Sheng said: "The second master prepared it for the young mistress to tidy up the garden, and it doesn't take much to think about it, it should be enough for us to go to the nearby Zhuangzi to look for it.

If it doesn't work, just spend some money to buy it. "

Jia Qing was noncommittal, and asked again: "Then do you know any good stone merchants in Beijing?"

"Stone materials? By the way, if I remember correctly, the Xue family seems to be in the stone business at first. When the old master of the Xue family was here, he specially provided the palace with stone materials for the construction of the palace.

Although I haven't heard much about it in these years, even if I didn't do it, the network must be extremely wide.Second Master, why don't you ask Aunt Xue? "

"The Xue family..."

Of course, Jia Qing didn't plan for Qin Keqing, or not just.

He is preparing for the construction of the Grand View Garden!

It stands to reason that Yuan Chun is a member of the Rongguo Mansion, so even if the Grand View Garden is built, Jia Zheng and Jia She should mainly worry about it.

However, Jia Qing had discovered a problem early on.

That is, does the Rongguo Mansion still have enough money to build the Grand View Garden, not to mention the huge amount of money that Yuanchun will spend to visit relatives after it is completed!

Due to the fluttering of the butterfly's small wings, the day when Yuan Chuncai chose Fengzao Palace was about a year earlier than in the original book.

Therefore, Lin Ruhai is not dead yet, and Jia Lian has not yet dealt with the funeral for the Lin family.

It's not that Jia Qing was sure that in the original book, the Rongguo Mansion took Lin Ruhai's family property to build a magnificent Grand View Garden.It was because Jia Qing had a clear understanding of the Ningguo Mansion's treasury since he took over the Ningguo Mansion.

Such a large mansion, equivalent to gold, has less than 20 taels of cash in storage!

You know, the prodigal Jia Zhen has no chance to squander Ku Yin in this life, that is to say, there should be even less Ku Yin in the Lining State Mansion in the original book!

However, the Rongguo Mansion, which has a larger expenditure, has not reduced any expenditure because of Jia Qing's existence. There are more prodigal sons there. Come to think of it, there is not much Ku Yin?

So, how to maintain the huge cost of building the Grand View Garden and later visiting relatives?

Jia Qing estimated that the construction of a grand view garden alone would cost more than 20 taels!Don't mention that there are greedy slaves like the Lai family brothers who are exhausted...

In this way, the money is definitely not enough.But I never heard that the Jia family borrowed money from the wealthy Xue family!

Therefore, although it may not be as some people said that Jia's family corrupted Lin Ruhai's millions of property, but there must be some.

Because, since Lin Ruhai entrusted the only daughter-in-law to the Jia family, it must be a matter of course to give some family property!

At least, most of Lin Ruhai's own property should be handed over to the Rongguo Mansion.

After all, he has nothing else to give.

mean?

Jia Qing didn't particularly think so.He has never measured himself by the standards of a saint, and naturally he will not measure others by this.Under such circumstances, it is quite normal for the Rongguo Mansion to use the support money given by Lin Daiyu's father!

It's probably the same for other mansions.

Fortunately, Mother Jia really loves her granddaughter!Even if there is something shameful in it, it can be regarded as humane!

After all, even if Daiyu holds such a large fortune, it is useless.

It can be assumed that if Lin Daiyu hadn't died of illness, Jia's house would have been undefeated.Whether the Jia family betrothed her to Baoyu or arranged for another marriage, it shouldn't be a problem, and it can be regarded as fulfilling the obligation of raising Daiyu!

The only contemptible possibility is that the Jia family probably didn't tell Lin Daiyu about this matter.This may also aggravate the glass-hearted Daiyu's feeling of being dependent on others.

On the other hand, on the side of Jia Mu, there may be such things as "Daiyu is still young, and it is a kind of love not to tell her these bad things", "Let people know that Daiyu's upbringing money was embezzled for the construction of a villa for the imperial concubine to visit relatives, This kind of reputation is not good.” Wait for consideration!

All in all, there are basically no villains, despicable and shameless people in the Red Mansion, which is why the Red Mansion looks dull.If there is, maybe Jia Yucun will occupy a place!

Having said so much, I want to explain that the Rongguo Mansion should not have enough money, and it is impossible to sell property to save relatives, and it is even worse to say it.

Therefore, if it is still handed over to the Prime Minister of Rongguo Mansion, the Grand View Garden may not be able to be built so well!

But Jia Qing didn't want that.It's hard to come to this world for a while, but to see a second-class garden instead?

Therefore, even if you spend more money and other things, you must not make the Grand View Garden worse!

However, if I paid most of the money and let the Rongguo Mansion host it, that would be too aggrieved!Therefore, Jia Qing is making preparations now, and will take over the construction rights and responsibilities as soon as the family's order comes down.

This shouldn't be too difficult.Among the men in Rongguo Mansion, there is no one capable!

That's why he wanted stone and wood.

After Lai Sheng left, Jia Qing ordered Wang Shun to call in Jia Yun, Leng Zixing, Zhao Sheng, and the drunk King Ni Er who had just arrived in Beijing.

Afterwards, he left Ningguo Mansion and headed for Rongguo Mansion.

Then, without stopping, I went directly to Rikain.

Hearing that he was coming, Aunt Xue was very enthusiastic. She took his hand and said, "Good boy, Auntie thought you would never come to my place again."

Jia Qing said with a smile: "What did Auntie say? It's not like I don't know how much Auntie loves me, so there's no reason not to come!

These days, because I have just entered the court and become an official, I am not familiar with everything, and there is too much to learn. My nephew is young and has already lost his head, so I lost my manners. It is better for my aunt not to convict her! "

Aunt Xue said: "Not guilty, not guilty, I'm glad you can come to see me, it's too late. Sit on the kang, it's warm."

He said and pulled Jia Qing to sit on the edge of the Kang.

Jia Qing had no choice but to sit down.Only then did Aunt Xue let Jia Qing go, and ordered Tong Xi to pour tea, then sat down next to Jia Qing, and took his hand to ask questions.

Jia Qing was helpless, it was really hard to refuse the favor of the elders, and it was even harder to say anything when he came to ask for advice.
