My brother's name is Jia Baoyu

Naturally, the Jia family also received the news, and now their family has a virtuous concubine who is only under the empress, so it is naturally the focus of everyone's attention.

In Jia Shi's room, Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Xing, Jia Lian, Jia Zhen, Jia Zhu, and Wang Xifeng were all there. Besides, Jia Shi specially called Jia Jin over.Originally, these elders could decide on such matters, but now that Jia Jin has gained the fame of raising people, she has the right to speak at home, so Jia Shishi called him over, also wanting to hear what he had to say. Opinion.

"The reason why I called you here today is for my mother's family visit. The saint is compassionate and sympathetic to the hearts of the ladies in the palace who miss their families. He has granted permission for the ladies to go home to visit their relatives. But you should also know the news from the palace. News, this relative needs to build the Chongyu House. Our Jia family is originally a family member. After the Duke, and the empress is in a high position, the construction is simple. I am afraid that the empress will lose face. This matter must not be careless. Today I called you here to discuss this matter! Boss, talk about it first!"

After Jia Shishi said this, he looked at Jia She. Jia She was the grand master of the Rongguo Mansion, and he was holding a pile of money confiscated from the Lai family. Shi naturally aimed at him first.

Jia She secretly rolled his eyes, but he didn't dare not answer when he heard Jia Shishi's question, "Niangniang Sheng is a happy event for the whole family, if you ask me, this must be done, and it must be big Make arrangements to show the dignity of my Jia family, old lady, do you think this is the reason? When I see it, please help the stage and set up a few banquet tables, and we will have fun together. Look at my suggestion. ?”

Jia Shishi was almost pissed off by Jia Amnesty's rascal's reply, who asked him whether he could do it or not, the great honor was right in front of him, and he had to make arrangements for it, the eldest brother Gu left and right said He just wanted to ask him for some money, so he was so cunning, this lady is his own niece, if the lady is well, it will be beneficial to him, this short-sighted person, why did he only see this little teen in front of him Small profit?

Jia Shi secretly scolded the boss for his cunning, but Jia She was used to acting like this scoundrel, so she turned her eyes to Jia Zheng, hoping that this young son who had always been prudent would give a good answer.

Jia Zheng coughed lightly pretending to be serious, and then said: "Your Majesty can have the honor of visiting relatives. It is a great gift from heaven. Even our Jia family can't live up to this emperor's kindness. Why don't we just take the silver from the public?" , buy a piece of land, and then build another courtyard on it for the concubine's relatives. The courtyard needs to be well decorated in order to show the glory of my Jia family and the loyalty to the saint. Do you think this is the truth? Although the empress is from our second house , but visiting relatives is the honor of the whole family, no matter how much money is in taels."

Jia Zheng eloquently said a lot of words about the emperor's grace. Although he also mentioned the silver taels used for the family visit, he just skipped it. Other trivial matters, such as the land and wood used in the construction of the family visitation house I didn't mention it at all.

Jia Zheng said lightly, but he was an uncommon person. If he was counting on the idea and silver taels of the public, why would Jia Shishi bother to call them here.

Then Jia Shishi looked at Jia Lian again. Jia Lian used to run outside. Knowing the current situation, he was a little confused: "Now the other families in Beijing who have got news, like the family of Concubine Zhou and Concubine Wu, are now We spent money early on to buy land in Beijing, and bought wood and gravel from those merchants. I am afraid that we will start building a garden in the near future. Now we want to buy a good piece of land, but it is a bit embarrassing! I and Brother Zhen discussed it, we might as well demolish the land acquired by the servants’ houses in the east and north of Rong Mansion, plus the land connected to Ningguo Mansion, how about building a garden there?"

Jia Shi disagreed in her heart, the rebuilt land was not as respectable as the bought new land, but seeing Jia Lian's embarrassed expression and thinking of the embarrassment of the public and the bank, she had no choice but to nod helplessly, which was considered to be her agreement.

After solving the land issue, everyone started talking about the layout of the garden and other matters. In fact, after discussing for a long time, it was just a matter of money. Jia Shi also knew the purpose of calling everyone here today. Why, isn't it just to let each house spend some money to build the garden, but the boss is cunning, the second is pedantic, and the two of them are not as capable as a few juniors, so she had no choice but to put aside her old face and said: "Gongzhong You also know the situation, but this is a happy event for the whole family after all, if the empress is decent, it will also be beneficial to our Jia family. The old lady only has some personal money left, so she took out 1 taels of silver. mandarin duck……"

The mandarin duck behind Jia Shishi took out a wooden box, and there was a stack of bank notes in the wooden box.

Since the old lady had set an example and took the lead in giving the silver taels, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng, of course, did not express any regrets. Finally, the few people discussed, the big house and the second house each gave 5000 taels of silver, and the Dongfu gave 2000 taels. Jia Lian and Jia Zhu also contributed 1000 taels each.

This money might be enough for ordinary people to spend their whole life, but it is a drop in the bucket for the Jia family who want to build a luxurious courtyard.

Nowadays, the prices of the pear wood and sandalwood used to build the garden alone in Beijing have been raised to several hundred taels of silver, and in addition to the addition of rockery and flowing water landscaping decorations in the garden, Jia Shishi roughly estimated , need at least 10,000+ taels of silver.

Where can this money be obtained?

The old lady frowned, and obviously had a problem with the money everyone brought out, but just as she was about to say a few more words, she heard Jia Jin, who had been silent all this time, say, "I'm afraid the old lady forgot. But we are pregnant, if we make too much publicity, I am afraid we will bring trouble to my sister!"

Jia Shishi didn't take it seriously, it was because of Yuan Chun's pregnancy that she felt that she had to fight for some face for Yuan Chun, so that if Yuan Chun gave birth to a son and a half daughter in the future, she would have more confidence in the palace.

Seeing the old lady like that, she knew she didn't care about his words. Jia Jin really wanted to remind Jia Shishi that the person sitting on the dragon chair is a narrow-minded person who loves to hold grudges. Now these aristocratic families want to build a garden. How happy they are, how cruel it will be for the new emperor to rectify in the future.

He said with a serious attitude: "My sister also sent someone to say that the clansmen in the family should not use the excuse of the imperial concubine to visit their relatives to spend extravagantly and wastefully. They must refrain from extravagance and frugality. Du extravagance, even the stage is not allowed to be displayed at home. Well, the old lady's behavior is probably going against my sister's thinking."

Jia Shishi wanted to refute that she was thinking of Yuanchun, but seeing Jia Jin's appearance, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

"Isn't the old woman doing all this for the sake of the mother, come on, come on, come on, you one or two are now hardened, so you can't appreciate the good intentions of the old woman!"

Jia Shishi's tone was annoyed. After all, the matter she proposed was rejected on the spot by Jia Jin, a junior, so it was inevitable that she would be a little bit embarrassed!

Jia Jin said bluntly: "How can we not understand the caring heart of the old lady for the sake of future generations? I heard that the new emperor is the most sympathetic to the sufferings of the people. Nowadays, there are continuous natural disasters in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the people live in poverty. If our family Wouldn't it be better for the elder sister in the palace to win a good name if I could use part of the money for building the garden to help the common people?"

Jia Shishi was slightly startled, obviously a little shaken, "But the saint's edict said that another courtyard needs to be built, if not, wouldn't it be against the holy will?"

When Jia Shishi said that, Jia Jin knew that she might have wavered in her heart.

His eyes drooped, and a smirk suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth: "This garden is naturally going to be built, but it's just not feasible for the extravagant and extravagant style. I heard that the two old ancestors were very brave on the battlefield. There are quite a few rewards, and now that there is such a big event of visiting relatives, the old lady might as well open the treasury and take out all those treasures, so as to make the best use of these things, so that the pearls will not be covered with dust, what do you think?"

Jia Shishi is angry, those things of hers will be left to Baoyu in the future, now that the warehouse has been opened, those things have passed in front of everyone, how can she keep them for Baoyu in the future?

"Forget it, forget it, since it's the empress's intention, then be more frugal, this matter is settled, just according to what you said, the construction of this garden will be handed over to Lian'er and his wife. I'm tired, you guys Everyone go back!"

Jia Shishi was somewhat lacking in interest, obviously he was hit.

The Jia family's famous "Grand View Garden" was built in such a way.

That day, just as Jia Jin returned to the room, she heard Lian Qiu report that the third lady, Tan Chun, had come to him. Stand up on the chair.

"You said just now that you want to learn the way of doing business?"

Tanchun pursed his lips, and said aggrievedly: "Third brother can't agree with it. Could it be that because I'm a woman, third brother also despises me?"

Jia Jin shook her head hastily. Tanchun was raised by the Wang family for a while when she was young. Among all the sisters, Jia Jin was the closest to her, and she was always responsive to her requests.Because there is no such bad luck as in the previous life, Tanchun is pleasant-natured, shrewd and capable, and the people in the house also love this third lady, but even Jia Jin doesn't know how Tanchun, who lives so comfortably, is born The idea of ​​doing business?

"Tell third brother first, where did you come from with this idea? If you are a girl, how can you have such thoughts if no one instigates you? It is not impossible to do business, but if someone wants to use this to ruin you reputation, have you thought about the consequences?"
