dream of red mansion

Jia Lian hurriedly said: "It's just that some of the stewards in our mansion came to discuss with Lai Sheng, and wanted to take care of a few things, whether it's purchasing bricks, mud and stone, or managing craftsmen, at least they can help.

It's just that it's not allowed to rise. "

Jia Zheng asked, "What's the reason?"

"He said that the second younger brother had already arranged the big and small matters of building the garden before he left, and he also specifically ordered not to bother the housekeepers in our mansion.

They were naturally dissatisfied, explaining that it is a matter between the two governments, why can't the people in our government contribute?Lai Sheng said that the second brother had obtained your consent, the lord. "

Jia Zheng thought for a while, and Jia Qing came over in a serious manner that day, and it seemed that he really made a lot of suggestions to him, all of which were about building a garden.He felt that since the matter was handed over to Jia Qing, he didn't listen carefully, and he responded to everything he said, and finally said impatiently, "It's all up to you to arrange, there is no need to talk about it", so he drove Jia Qing out .

In this way, it was hard for me to say anything, so I asked, "Did Lai Sheng explain why?"

Jia Lian's expression was embarrassing, and he couldn't say anything, so he had to take out a booklet from his sleeve.

"Master will understand after reading this."

Jia Zheng took it, opened it, and read the title:

"Relevant Regulations of the Jia Clan on Building a Provincial Courtyard Project for the Empress"

A big greeting on Jia Zheng's head: "What is it?"

Jia Lian also had a helpless expression on his face, and only said, "Master, you will know when you look down."

Jia Zheng turned the page again and looked down. Fortunately, the following words are quite normal, and they are all the rules that Jia Qing said in Ning'an Hall that day, with details.

Every article and paragraph directly refers to the treatment of corruption and sabotage, and the rewards and punishments are also two extremes, without mercy.

Jia Zheng was a little roundabout, but he was definitely not stupid. It was easy to see the purpose and expected effect of these clauses.

Obviously, Jia Qing didn't want people from Rongguo Mansion to go in and do things, so as not to break the rules and it would be difficult for him to deal with them!

Jia Zheng closed the booklet and said, "What do you think?"

Jia Lian said: "My nephew thinks that if the second brother does what he does, although he can save a lot of money, it is too ruthless and harsh. The people below will inevitably complain, and it will be bad for the reputation..."

Jia Zheng said coldly: "You can only see that you can save money, can't you see that this method can also ensure that the garden built for the empress will not make mistakes?"

"Nephew is stupid..."

But Jia Zheng sighed again: "In the past, Qing'er, I only thought he was well-behaved, sensible, and polite.

Unexpectedly, now that she is a little older, she does things more and more extreme...

That's all, let him make trouble about this matter, as long as he doesn't miss the empress's business, it's his decision anyway, I don't have much to say, he might not be willing to listen to it, I still have to tell him to eat Only when you lose money can you realize it.

However, he is still young, and it may not be a bad thing to suffer some losses. In the future, the lintel of our Jia family may still have to be supported by him.Now that I'm still here, it's a good thing to practice more. "

Jia Zheng figured it out as he spoke, but after listening to his last sentence, he obviously felt that he is now the helm of the Jia family...

But as soon as Jia Jing became a monk, the third generation really belonged to him.

Jia Lian listened silently to Jia Zheng's words, and frowned when he heard "Jia Qing has to support the lintel".

Then he was relieved, the master even excluded Baoyu and Lan Geer, let alone me?

Thinking about Jia Qing's limelight over the years, what he did and what he said, alas, the master can't help but say that.

"My nephew knows what the master means, so my nephew will leave."

Jia Lian saluted respectfully and left Meng Po Zhai.

......

After three years, the ancient city of Yangzhou is still as prosperous and lively as ever.

Yangzhou City Wharf gathered almost all the big and small officials and big businessmen in Yangzhou early in the morning.The situation is even more prosperous than when Lin Ruhai went to Yangzhou eight years ago.

When the huge official ship docked at the pier, in an instant, there was a voice of praise on the pier: "Welcome to the imperial envoy!!"

The sound like a torrent was transmitted to the other side of the river through the sound of water, startling a few birds on the tree.

But Jia Qing didn't show up, this was already the destination, since he came to visit Lin Ruhai on behalf of the emperor, naturally he couldn't do it casually, he had to put on all the ceremonial guards.

First, the heavily armed Jinyi soldiers lined up, guarding both sides of the avenue, and stood directly in front of the official formation, completely occupying the distance between the pier and the official formation.

All Yangzhou officials waited quietly for about half a quarter of an hour, and then Yi Yi took a big red eight-carrying soft sedan to the front.

After all, Yangzhou is just a prefecture, and the officials are not big enough.In order to solemnize the matter, the Nanjing Ministry of Rites sent Zuo Shilang Wang Zhao here, so this time Yangzhou officials were led by him.

Wang Zhao took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Wang Zhao, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites in Nanjing, leads the officials of Yangzhou to welcome the imperial envoy!"

After a while, I heard a clear voice from inside the sedan chair:

"I have the emperor's order, so it is not appropriate to stay here. If you have nothing to do, please go back to your office. If you have something to do, please move away."

After finishing speaking, the master of ceremonies immediately sang: "Quiet~~avoid~!"

Wang Zhao didn't expect that Jia Qing didn't even show his face, but he immediately led the crowd out of the way.

The imperial guard of honor started, followed by more than a dozen sedan chairs, and drove slowly towards the city of Yangzhou.

When the team left, everyone couldn't hold back their discussions.

At this time, Master Zheng trotted all the way to the front, and said: "I will see Mr. Wang, the imperial envoy has fixed the trip at the Xunyan Yushi Yamen, and specially ordered, if there is nothing urgent, please do not disturb."

Wang Zhao asked: "Is there any other order from the imperial envoy?"

"No."

Wang Zhao thought for a while, and said to the officials in Yangzhou, "Imperial envoys are the most important state affairs, and the reception banquet is temporarily cancelled. Please go back, my lords."

......

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

The imperial envoy team went directly from the pier to Xunyan Yushi Yamen without any stopover.

Walking along the avenue, majestic and solemn, pedestrians hurriedly backed away, but couldn't help but stick their heads out to watch.

Yangzhou City has a large population, and when such a major event happened, it would be reported to ten, ten to hundreds.Soon, the news of the imperial envoy's entry into the city spread throughout Yangzhou City.

Jia Qing, who was in the first sedan chair, was also a little emotional.Counting this time, he has been to Yangzhou three times.

The first time, it was his first time coming to this world.

The second time, I passed through this place to participate in the Jiangnan Cultural Association. That time, I was just a bastard from a wealthy family.
