Zhen Fei rises up in the Red Chamber

As I said before, this ordinary house with an inverted seat as the first entrance and the smallest three entrances is only 300 taels, so it is divided, and the one next door is a bit big and does not meet the normal two. The price of the house will never be high, and even because of the structure of the house, Feng Shui is divided, the price will be lowered. Under such circumstances, if you want to buy this house, you really need to use a private house Money can do it, two or three hundred taels is definitely enough.Even if someone watched Zhen Hui die and wanted to reconnect the house with the original place in the backyard, and wanted to take the opportunity to raise a price or something, it was impossible, and it was not possible to look at the identities of the people who came here. Bar.

As for why Lin Hai asked Zhen Hui to buy this house, it is actually very simple. The houses at this time, especially such big houses, are absolutely different from modern townhouses. Every house is different from other houses. There are intervals between the houses, commonly known as aisles. Under such circumstances, if you buy two connected houses, you only need to seal the front and back aisles, then there will be an extra passage in the house.In fact, the book of Dream of Red Mansions often mentions this kind of narrow passage. From Mrs. Wang’s courtyard to Wang Xifeng’s small courtyard, there is a section of narrow passage. To put it bluntly, Jia’s mansion is three connected with five or even six entrances. The product of combining houses, otherwise there would not be such a large garden and so many yards.

The yard price is still the same, what else can Master Zhen say?Naturally, he nodded immediately, and even if he bought an extra one, Zhen Hui didn't have to pay for it himself. Don't think that becoming a parent would prevent him from hiding his private money. Master Zhen still has some money for wine.Even in the end, Zhen Hui thought that the matter of buying a house was handled too properly, and was assigned by Master Zhen, a lazy old man, to repair the house.Moreover, there was quite a lot of silver, a full 1000 taels, and it was unknown from which corner Master Zhen got the money. This made Zhen Hui seriously doubt whether his father's so-called treasury had the silver in it.

However, he is a son, and he has never been a son. The son who checked his father's accounts, just felt that the money was too exaggerated, and he had no place to intervene. Besides, it would be a good idea for Zhen Hui to let him repair the house. At the very least, he felt that it would allow him to tidy up his new home according to his own wishes, which would give him a sense of accomplishment.Reading all day, people also want to relax.

Besides, he also knows that his father has a lot of things to do now, and he still has a lot of helpers who can use them. Some manpower will save him money.

Just like what he himself said to Zhen Ji, family finances are difficult, so thrift is the best thing!

"Look, there are three rooms and four ears, and there are three rooms on the left and right sides of the wing room. This yard is just right. Two entrances, it happens to be separated into two small courtyards. When you got married, there was one courtyard. Ji Geer is now at the age, and he will be seven years old soon. Different seats can be moved out of the inner courtyard, and a courtyard can be used, and the aisle has become a narrow passage, which can also lead to the back garden, which is the most appropriate."

Looking at this small courtyard that I just bought, it was dragged by Zhen Hui, who was supposed to help as a reference, whether it was Jia Amnesty or Lin Hai, they were all very interested, and their own house did not make the decision. There are certain people who will help clean up any changes and arrangements. The only thing that can let them intervene is that the placement of some furnishings in the house can be listened to. Usually, I don’t think there is anything inappropriate, and even more Needless to say, I was thinking about how to modify it, but people are more angry than others. Looking at Zhen Hui, who is also a son, they feel that they definitely belong to the type of people who are not trusted, especially Jia Amnesty, he is already a father, yet he is not as powerful as Zhen Hui in the family, and he is the eldest son. This gap really chills him.

Perhaps it was to win a sigh of relief, to show his ability, or to let his father know his ability, so in the new house of the Zhen family, he was very hardworking, even to ensure that things were done. He even pulled Jia Zhengdu over, ready to ask him to help make the blueprints.

"Second brother, draw this picture first, and then have a look. If you plant trees in this yard, what should you plant? The original owner is too careless. How can this yard not have some vibrant vegetation. "

"Brother, this was originally the main courtyard. The most important thing is that the place to receive guests is naturally spacious. Afterwards, the family took care of the residents."

Jia Zheng and Jia She have a good relationship now, not to mention that they are very different from before. They speak and do things much more smoothly, and their temperament has begun to be grounded. Now he knows very clearly that he will definitely be Those who want to separate out, in order to live a better life for themselves in the future, it is impossible to always just immerse themselves in books, let alone do so many money-making things with Zhen Hui. Up more than one level.

Jia She was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

"That's right, forget about it, Zhen Hui, tell yourself, what are you planting in this yard? You don't need to think about the rockery, the pond, etc. These things are expensive, and your budget is not enough."

Now he actually knows what a budget is, and he understands what it means to do what is within his means. From this point, he can actually see his progress, but he speaks out of nowhere, and he talks about everything. This temper is still too straightforward. Fortunately, they are all brothers who grew up together, but no one cares about these things. If it is an outsider, I am afraid that he will feel uncomfortable in his heart. Of course, he will not do these things to outsiders.

"What else can I plant? I thought, after the gate is sealed, the wall along this row is not very attractive, so I simply built a flower bed and planted some flowers and plants in it. Roses are good, and a cherry tree is planted in the middle. The flowers are also beautiful in season, and a big vat can be placed under the tree, with green lotuses in it, and one or two fish, and the scenery can be seen in summer. Well, a grape trellis is set up in the place where the courtyard gate is open, and in autumn It is also a good idea to have a lot of fruit, as for the winter... between the east side room and this wing room, just plant a black plum tree, the cost is not big, but there are scenery in all seasons, not bad!"

Zhen Hui walked around the yard that was likely to be his own in the future, and in a few words he told all the changes in the yard that he wanted to change. As for the inside of the house?Zhen Hui feels that there is really nothing to do. These days, the structure of the house is just like this. His house is not noble, and many places cannot be decorated too much. Things are fine, at most the house should be repainted, the wood should be repainted, and the blue bricks on the floor will not be broken and stumbled. As for the rest, it can be made up by some curtains, some furniture, and these soft decorations.

"Oh, that's it, that's not bad. It's doable. Let's go. Let's go and look at the back. Speaking of which, the house is pretty good. At least it looks like it should have been overhauled a few years ago, otherwise the bricks and tiles wouldn't be so neat and clean. Well, you kid can be considered a bargain. I didn't look carefully at the garden that day, but now I have spent some time looking at it. A pond is rare, and it is actually running water. There are a few koi in it. Although it is not a rare variety, it is also something that ordinary people outside can't buy, and I don't know where that family got it from."

After hearing Zhen Hui's words, Jia Amnesty blinked his eyes, turned around and led the way back. He had just realized that this Zhen's family was not his own. The rest plans he originally thought of were useless, neither the eaves nor the brackets would work. Under changing circumstances, many things are better if they are not moved.So he was very savvy, and he simply started talking about the garden. There is nothing illegal about this thing.

Just saying this made him feel a little uncomfortable. He is not a fool, no matter how slow his brain turns, he can actually think that the people from the Lai family can manage such a property and get some servants who shouldn't be them. To put it bluntly, what other people can have is not the power of the Jia family?Didn't he use his mother's power?But his mother. . .I don't want to talk about this, it can make people around me corrupt so much, even the most ignorant people can think of it, how much benefit my mother can get.

No wonder my father never saw his mother again. Although because of their brothers and sisters, they never said anything about divorce, but he had the right to pretend that there was no such person in the house to deal with them, and let them all be coldly. Some can't bear it, now that I think about it, maybe there are some things that they don't know about, such as the corruption, I don't know what role the mother played in it, if she really intervened, the corruption of the husband's family The property, or the property that will be passed on to her own son in the future, he doesn't even know what his mother is thinking!

The garden is really good. The garden made by knocking down the two-entry house is big enough, not to mention that there are rockery, a pool, a stage, a corridor, a pavilion, etc. No matter how exquisite it looks, There are also two sweet-scented osmanthus trees. Looking at the trunks, they have looked like they have been around for 20 years. I think the scenery here must be very good in autumn.Lin Hai has even made a reservation and asked to come to play, enjoy osmanthus, listen to opera and eat osmanthus cake.

It's a pity that this good thing is not going to happen, even Zhen's going home to repair the house must be postponed, the reason is very simple, the old emperor suddenly fainted, and it is no longer possible. The funeral of the old emperor.

"Hurry up, let's go home first, it seems that we won't be coming here anytime soon."

Lin Hai was the first to react, threw away the things he was going to feed the fish, clapped his hands, and prepared to clean up and go home. Even Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng also looked depressed. When they walked out with this expression, they thought they were driving for the emperor. Beng is sad, only Zhen Hui knows the whole appearance of a loyal minister and good general, it is just their frustration that they feel that they have nothing to play.

Not to mention what kind of changes the death of the emperor will cause to the government, and what kind of torment the new emperor will have when he ascends the throne, that is, according to the rules of etiquette alone, when the emperor dies, the people will not be able to break ground for at least three months, and they will not be able to get married. Marriage, as an official, it takes longer, because it is a national funeral, at least one year can't play or drink, can't talk about relatives or anything.How many people's jobs have been ruined!God only knows!

So let's delay, just in time for the Zhen family to accumulate some money.One year, in this way, the money for repairing the house is estimated to be 2000 taels, which is a little more relaxed, and it is a good thing in disguise.Although he felt a little smug in his heart about getting engaged so early, he was still a little apprehensive, and it would be good to spend more time mentally preparing.

The only thing that made Zhen Hui feel bad was that he originally felt that the emperor could last for three or four years, but he guessed wrong, but after thinking about it, he felt that there was nothing wrong with it. After all, the emperor is a profession It's very special. Under normal circumstances, even if he is in poor health, the emperor will never say anything for the sake of the stability of the court. Therefore, it is absolutely normal for people outside to make mistakes in estimating the emperor's physical condition.Now that it is like this, it can only be said that the emperor's acting skills are too good, but since the new emperor ascends the throne, he is a little uncertain about what kind of changes his father can make at such a critical moment.

Generally speaking, when the emperor ascends the throne, it is very common for officials to adjust their positions. Only those who are really weak will let the courtiers control the power. Therefore, even if Master Zhen has a small official position and the department he works in is relatively deserted, Zhen Hui still starts to get nervous. up.

On the other hand, the Lin family and the Jia family seemed to be quiet and not worried about anything. He found that he seemed to have underestimated these so-called aristocratic families.Not to mention anything else, this calmness alone is not something everyone can have.
