[Red Mansion] The adopted son of the Lin family

Lin Ze looked at the books and accounts presented by Chang An with a smile, and he was very happy.This is all white money. In just a few days, the price of these bricks, tiles and wood has doubled again.

Shui Rong looked at him with his brows and eyes crooked when he smiled, and felt a little annoyed and funny.He just said: "Look at your good idea. In the past, you only talked about me. No matter what your background is, you've got all these things. If the admonisher finds out, you will have good fruit to eat." Even though he said so, But still couldn't bear the curiosity and leaned over to take a look.

It was incredible to see this, and his face was full of astonishment at the moment.

Shui Zhan glanced at him, and asked lightly, "Why do you have such an expression?"

Shui Rong pointed at Lin Ze in a daze and said, "I just thought he made a small fortune, who would have thought that he would spend so much." Saying this, he handed an account book to Shui Zhan to look at.

Shui Zhan reached out to take it and took a look. It turned out that the account was the income and outflow of bonsai rocks. Roughly summed up, the profit was 10,000+ taels.Although Shui Zhan would not act recklessly as if he had never seen money before, he was a little bit tongue-tied when he got 10,000+ taels in such a short amount of time.Then he smiled and asked: "When did you save these things, why didn't I know before."

Lin Ze checked all the books in his hand before he smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you as early as three months ago that I borrowed the room in the row behind you to store things. You didn't ask me then Naturally, I don’t bother to talk about what to display.” As he spoke, he raised his chin slightly, shook the account book in his hand and said with a smile, “Isn’t the things that were hoarded back then sold for a good price now?”

When Shui Zhan heard it, he couldn't help laughing.Just three months ago? "It's not long since the family-bestowing decree came down. If there were rumors in the palace, it would have been a month and a half earlier. It's just how did you get this news three months ago? Huh?"

Lin Ze didn't answer him, he couldn't say that he was a prophet.At that moment, I just smiled and said: "I originally planned to buy these things and save them, so that my sister will go out to marry her as a dowry in the future. Besides, these things seem to be expensive now, but they are only because of a few nobles and concubines. The family is busy checking in on relatives and other matters, and it would be tiring to just take a look at it in normal times."

"I just picked up a bargain in vain. Speaking of which, the 30 taels was earned with no scruples. You haven't seen it. There are other shops where the price changes every day. If the price is put on the top, I will I’m too embarrassed to read it, but luckily they’re still ashamed to ask for it.”

Lin Ze's words are true, those unscrupulous shopkeepers who want to make a fortune don't care who comes to buy them, as long as he can get the maximum profit, that's enough.It's not like Lin Ze knows the principle of accepting as soon as he sees it.Lin Ze made a net profit of 30 taels, which is indeed not a small sum.But none of the Taihu stones, nanmu, and red sandalwood he brought back were precious.Let’s just say that the more than 50 bolts of red satin he bought when he was interested, one kind of pomegranate with a hundred seeds, and one with dark patterns of Jiangnan scenery, all of which are luxurious and exquisite.It's just that the color is too bright, if it wasn't for family visits, who would have bought such gorgeous materials and returned home.

Shui Rong was surprised when he heard that he had earned more than 30 taels.I hurriedly came over and got the account book right, right? If it is full, it will cost 33 to 4 taels.Immediately, Lin Ze was full of praise for his financial management skills, and he just smiled and said, "Hey, when I have money, wouldn't it be good for us to open a shop together?"

Lin Ze only smiled and said: "You're talking nonsense again, I didn't take over the money. Let's just talk about it here. You are a prince, and I am a good man, but here you are talking about competing for profit with the people." Don’t let other people hear this and tell us before the emperor, you will have good fruit to eat!”

This is returning everything Shui Rong said just now.Before Lin Ze finished speaking, Shui Rong had already laughed out loud.

This is so ridiculous!If you still compete with the people for profit and don't do this kind of thing, can it be that these accounts in your hand are all other people's?If you want to say these words to deceive others, it is okay, to deceive him?

Shui Rong didn't buy it for the first one, and just laughed out loud, pointing to the account book in Lin Ze's hand and said with a smile: "I know you are the most careful, and you are not willing to handle it yourself. Tell me quickly, how did you get rid of it?" , and who is going to blame you for it." As he spoke, he already looked at Chang'an.Seeing Chang'an standing on one side with his head bowed and hands tied, he clapped his hands and said with a smile: "I see, it must be Chang'an who helped you with the matter, right?"

Lin Ze squinted at Shui Rong, and only smiled and said, "Since you already know, why bother to ask me again."

Listening to Shui Rong makes me even happier.He just stood up and talked with Chang An, shoulder to shoulder, half of Chang An's face turned red, and he looked a little embarrassed.

Lin Ze laughed and said, "Don't make fun of him, we are so poor, how can we compare with you, the prince, who is rich!"

After hearing this, Shui Zhan laughed and said, "Look whose family's little God of Wealth is here. He earns a lot of gold and silver, and is still yelling in front of us that he is poor. How should we deal with ourselves?" Then, he stretched out his hand to wipe away the thin sweat from Lin Ze's forehead.

Lin Ze and Shui Zhan had a very deep relationship. He regarded Shui Zhan as a brother, and he didn't reject Shui Zhan's actions. He even smiled and asked Shui Zhan to help him wipe the sweat off his forehead All wiped.Only then said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, third brother, all the money I have here will be used by third brother in the future."

Shui Zhan gave a low laugh, and tightened Lin Ze's arm slightly.

When Lin Ze returned to the mansion, he saw Qingmei biting her lower lip, hesitant to speak.Lin Ze was a little puzzled, so Bai Guo came up to serve Lin Ze to wash and change clothes. When everything was ready, Lin Ze looked at Qing Mei and smiled, "What's the matter? If you have something to say, tell me. If It's okay, let's go to rest early."

Hearing what Lin Ze said, Qingmei came up and said, "Master, go and see the girl, she came back annoyed today. Even dinner is useless, no matter how much we can persuade you, it won't work."

When Lin Ze heard this, the smile on his face became cold.Today Daiyu went to Ganlu Temple to offer incense with Princess Beijing, why did she get angry?It must be because someone gave Daiyu a blow.Thinking of this, Lin Ze hurriedly stepped on his shoes and was about to go out.Fortunately, Qingmei stopped her, so she put on her shoes and socks before going to Daiyu's place.

After the licorice was delivered, as soon as Lin Ze entered the room, he found that the corners of Daiyu's eyes were slightly red, and there was still a bit of water in them.

Lin Ze couldn't help feeling distressed.It was so easy to bring Daiyu out of the quagmire of Jia's house, how could she be wronged again!All of a sudden, I thought why the Princess of Beijing didn't take good care of Daiyu.If Daiyu is wronged, he will let Shui Rong be wronged tomorrow!

Seeing that Lin Ze's face was not very good-looking when he entered the room, Daiyu rubbed the corners of her eyes and asked with a smile, "Why is brother here? It's late at night, so I should rest earlier."

Lin Ze didn't listen to what she said, so he just opened the stool and sat down, and asked with burning eyes: "Who is angry with you today? Tell me, brother will make the decision for you!"

Daiyu pursed her lips and refused to speak.

Seeing her like this, Lin Ze knew that she was unwilling to speak, so he turned to look at Licorice.Licorice looked at Daiyu's face, and saw that Lin Ze's eyes were slightly cold, bit her lower lip and told all about what happened at Ganlu Temple today.

It turns out that today the sky is bright and clear, and the wind is smooth.Princess Beijing was in a good mood, so she picked up Daiyu and went to Ganlu Temple to offer incense together.This originally meant to take Daiyu out for a walk. To be honest, Princess Beijing had a very good impression of Daiyu.Although the little girl was born a little thinner, she was charming, refined, and possessed a coquettish and coquettish attitude.Princess Beijing likes Daiyu very much, so she didn't discuss it with the family, she has already advocated to adopt Daiyu as her daughter without authorization.

This is not just for words, when Princess Beijing saw Daiyu for the first time, she had really planned to do so.It's just a pity that firstly, Lin Ruhai was sick and could not see outsiders, and Daiyu's little girl could not be the master of her family; secondly, her son begged himself not to be so impulsive within two days after he knew about it.

Concubine Beijing was puzzled, when did she have anything to do with Shui Rong if she recognized her as a goddaughter?

It can be seen that her son looks anxious, and Princess Beijing can't help but think of other places.Could it be that his son actually fell in love with Daiyu?That's right, a man with talent and a woman's appearance is also a romantic and virtuous king, a noble lady.Speaking of which, isn't it a good match!All of a sudden, I felt that I saw the essence of the Queen of Beijing and was very happy. No wonder Shui Rong didn't let her recognize Daiyu as her goddaughter. Isn't it hard to say that if she asks for a kiss in the future!

Therefore, because of such a reason, Princess Beijing treats Daiyu better and better.That's really asking the mother around her to pick up Daiyu herself to be a guest at the Beijing Prince's Mansion every now and then, and then take Daiyu around.When introducing it to other aristocratic wives, concubines and concubines, Princess Beijing laughed and said that Daiyu was a girl from the Lin family.The girl from the Lin family who had a good relationship with the Wang family in Beijing, in the upper-class circle, would have laid a solid foundation for Daiyu.

Princess Beijing's temperament is very straightforward, and Daiyu's temperament is quite similar to that of Princess Beijing.Therefore, Princess Beijing also favors Daiyu a little bit, and sometimes even mentions Daiyu in a few turns when talking with the empress in the palace.

However, the Queen's attitude surprised Concubine Beijing Jing very much.When she heard her idea of ​​adopting Daiyu as her goddaughter, the Empress not only did not express any objection or doubt, but she strongly agreed with it.Without even asking, he smiled and said: "I have decided on a certain day to recognize the girl from the Lin family, so that I can give you a will and give this girl from the Lin family a face."

Princess Beijing smiled and said: "The Queen's words are true. The ministers wanted to admit it, but Ke Rong'er pushed back. He said a lot of absurd things, and he used some friends' words to prevaricate. Just say Well, if I recognize a girl from the Lin family as a goddaughter without his friend's consent, his friend is afraid that he will bully him in a different way."

"Empress, please tell me, with Rong'er's temper, how can he still suffer? Besides, he is now a prince, who dares to treat him indifferently. So what the minister said, that's all." It's his excuse."

The queen was taken aback when she heard that, she also heard from Shui Zhan that Shui Rong and Lin Ze had a very close personal relationship.Lin Ze often does this bullying of Shui Rong.Perhaps the friend that Shui Rong repeatedly mentioned was Ze'er, but that's unknown.

Thinking of this, the queen smiled and said: "Since Rong'er said so, you can put this matter aside for a while. If you want me to say, you should get the consent of the Lin family. Although the mother of the Lin family died early, she Father and brother are still alive, we shouldn't forget the etiquette."

The Queen Dowager Beijing Jing nodded her head again and again.Since then, Daiyu has also left a good impression in the Queen's heart.

It is only said that this time Princess Beijing went to Ganlu Temple to offer incense, and she was thinking that she hadn't seen Daiyu for a day or two, so why not take Daiyu to listen to Buddhist scriptures together.When they arrived at the Ganlu Temple, Daiyu accompanied the Beijing King and Dowager to offer incense, and suddenly heard several women behind her come to greet her and salute.Although Daiyu doesn't know her very well, she has a good sense of etiquette.The women also praised her frequently, so Princess Beijing just smiled and exchanged a few words of greeting.

Just as he was about to say goodbye, he heard a person in the crowd laugh and say, "Sister Lin!"

Daiyu turned her head and saw that it was none other than Xiangyun, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

I think that when she was living in Jia's mansion, Daiyu often joked and laughed in front of Jia's mother, and got along with Sanchun sisters every day.Compared with Xue Baochai later, Daiyu met Shi Xiangyun first.Because of her own background, the pain of losing her mother at a young age lingered in her heart for several months and she couldn't get over it, so she felt even more pity for Shi Xiangyun who lost his father and mother in his infancy.When they get along with each other on weekdays, they are quite humble to Shi Xiangyun.

At that time, when Baochai was in the future, there was no other conflict between her and Shi Xiangyun.At most, Xiangyun was annoyed by some of Baoyu's jokes, and the sisters all went up to try to persuade him, and then they let go.

But since Baochai came, Xiangyun and Baochai have become increasingly close.Sitting and lying at the same table, day and night.Baochai has always treated Daiyu warmly on the outside and cold on the inside, and Daiyu is the most delicate in mind, so she can't detect it.Afterwards, I became more and more alienated from these two people, but I didn't say much.

Seeing Xiangyun here at Ganlu Temple this time, Daiyu was also very surprised.

The woman who came up to greet Princess Beijing said with a smile, "This is Miss Lin. I am Mrs. Baolinghou, and this is Mrs. Zhongjinghou."

Daiyu knew that these two were the two wives of the historian, so she visited them one by one, and sent the two wives to the table one by one.Mrs. Baolinghou's wife, Mrs. Yang, laughed and said: "I said, the daughter's family of Zhong Lingyuxiu is different from other families. I am very happy to see you. No wonder the princess loves your character."

Daiyu blushed for a while, then bowed her head and remained silent.

Apart from Shi Xiangyun and Mrs. Baolinghou and Mrs. Zhongjinghou, there were also two other girls, both daughters of the first line, who had been well-educated since childhood.Seeing Daiyu's character and appearance, I am also very willing to get close to her.

Princess Beijing saw that their little girls belonged to each other, and she expected that they would not like to stay in this smoky place for a long time, and seeing that Daiyu knew the girl from the Shi family, she smiled and told Daiyu: "You little ones. The children go to play around by themselves, and we pay homage to the incense here, so it would be boring to keep you."

After finishing speaking, he smiled and invited Madam Baolinghou and Madam Zhongjinghou to go with him.

When Shi Xiangyun saw that the two aunts had left, he was naturally happy to be free. When he looked back, he saw that Shi Xiangxia and Shi Xiangni had already gone up to meet Daiyu and recognized each other, and they were joking at the moment.Xiangyun's face was a bit unattractive.Among other things, what she hated most was that Daiyu became the object of flattery everywhere.

In the Rongguo Mansion, Baoyu was gentle and caring, and when Daiyu was not around, the sisters got along just as close.But ever since Daiyu came, Baoyu kept lying down all day long, begging Daiyu to look at him more.This made Xiangyun hold his breath, and wanted to have an attack for a long time, but he couldn't find an excuse.

When Baochai came later, Xiangyun found someone who shared her nostrils.

It's just that although Baochai was lukewarm towards Daiyu, she couldn't point to Daiyu's nose and blame her.

Fortunately, after Daiyu moved out of Rongguo Mansion, Xiangyun felt better.Can not see Daiyu, save her upset.But who wants to accompany my aunt to offer incense today, but she is watching again.Look at those two sisters again, they are obviously from the Hou's mansion, but they seem to be short in front of Daiyu, they are so contemptuous.

The look on Xiangyun's face was a bit gloomy, and Daiyu had noticed it early in the morning. She thought she was in a bad mood, so she asked with a smile, "Miss Shi, what's wrong, she looks unhappy."

Before Shi Xiangyun could speak, Shi Xiangni had already laughed and said, "You don't know, she is the most impatient to come to the temple to pray for blessings and fulfill her vows. She always said that seeing this smoky place gives her a headache!" As she spoke, Then he and Shi Xiangxia laughed together.

When Shi Xiangyun was told this, his face flushed immediately, and he only gritted his teeth and said, "You are only here because of love, and I am different from you. You are the ladies of the Hou Mansion, who am I!" Throwing off the veil and leaving.Shi Xiangxia hurriedly grabbed her, and she repeatedly apologized before gradually turning around.

Shi Xiangni then said: "We are all relatives of the whole family. If you say these things, how can people think of us if they hear you?" Then, he took a handkerchief to wipe Shi Xiangyun's tears, and persuaded him, "Everyone says you I have a pitiful background, but tell me, since I was a child, there are delicious and fun things, which one is not given to you first? You are still so annoying!"

Shi Xiangni's remark was meant as a joke, but Shi Xiangyun became even more angry when he heard it, and said angrily: "I am not worthy of using these delicious and fun things, so I want you to bear the burden for me!" She ran away without waiting for anyone to stop her.

Shi Xiangxia said anxiously: "How can this be good, Ni'er, you are too careless with your words!" After finishing speaking, she also led her maid to chase after her.Although it is said to be a quiet place of Buddhism, it is not only the female relatives who come to offer incense.Shi Xiangyun is a girl who is waiting in her boudoir, if she is bullied by a male relative and speaks out, she will be ashamed.

When Shi Xiangxia said this, Shi Xiangni also bit her lower lip with grievance.Seeing that Daiyu was still standing aside, she rubbed the red circles under her eyes a little embarrassedly, and only managed to smile: "It's all our fault, I want you to read the joke."

Daiyu had a good impression of Shi Xiangni. Seeing that she was aggrieved and talking to herself with a smile, she stretched out her hand and patted the back of her hand, and said with a smile: "Her temper is so used to it, and she will get angry after a while." All right. Maybe your sister has already caught up with her, so let's go and see."

Shi Xiangni bent her lips.She is not an idiot, why can't she tell whether Daiyu is sincere or not?The two talked softly all the way, while looking in the direction of Shi Xiangxia and Shi Xiangyun.Sure enough, I saw Shi Xiangyun ignoring Shi Xiangxia in an apricot grove, and Shi Xiangxia was carefully persuading him.

Shi Xiangni only looked at it for a while, then trotted over, and said softly: "Sister Yun, I can't speak at a young age, so don't be angry with me."

It turns out that among the three girls in the historian's generation, Shi Xiangyun is the oldest, and Shi Xiangni is the youngest, and they are also Shi Nai's legitimate daughters, and they are very popular at home.But also because of this, Xiangyun is also jealous of Shi Xiangni the most.Shi Nai is Shi Xiangyun's uncle, and Shi Xiangyun's father is the eldest son of Lord Baoling Shangshu Ling, who should have inherited the title of Lord Baoling.Who would have thought that a young man would be dead.Xiangyun was in her infancy at that time, but her mother also died at the expense of her husband.Therefore, the title of Marquis of Bowling was inherited by his second son, Shi Nai.

Because of this, whenever Shi Xiangyun sees Shi Xiangni, he always feels sad and sighs in his heart.Everything that Shi Xiangni has should belong to her!She should be the real eldest daughter of the Hou family.But in fact, she is just an orphan girl whose parents died.

Shi Xiangni said a lot of words carefully to comfort Shi Xiangyun, and finally coaxed Shi Xiangyun to turn around.

Unexpectedly, Shi Xiangyun said capriciously: "I'm thirsty and hungry, you two went and brought me food and drink." His bossy look was like calling a maid.

Shi Xiangxia and Shi Xiangni looked at each other, but they still suppressed the anger in their hearts, smiled apologetically at Daiyu, and took their maids to go.Leaving Xiangyun and Cuilu standing in place, behind Daiyu, Lvrourou Licorice just smiled and said nothing.

Xiangyun looked at the slope, and saw the green color all over his eyes, which was indescribably full of vitality.Then he smiled and said, "Sister Lin, I heard that there is a kind of grass on the slope, which smells fragrant and refreshing. If you look around in the whole capital, it can only be found in Ganlu Temple."

When Daiyu heard this, she smiled lightly and said, "As expected, this is the blessing of this temple."

Seeing Daiyu's calm expression, Xiangyun felt a little annoyed.Seeing that Lurou behind Daiyu had a slight smile and Licorice was petite, she asked with a smile, "Sister Lin, why don't you see Hongxing?"

"She was resting at home due to some illness, so she didn't come."

"That's right!" Xiangyun rolled his eyes and smiled again: "That's right, the grass on the slope can be taken back to eat with red apricots. I'll go pick them now!" Xiang Cuilu winked and ran up the hillside.

Daiyu couldn't stop her in time, seeing that Xiangyun had already run towards the hillside, she immediately said: "Let's go over and see her, don't fall again!"But when Daiyu walked up the hillside, she saw Xiangyun smiling and bending over to look at the row of flowers and plants at her feet.Daiyu frowned, feeling a bad premonition in her heart.When she was about to ask again, she saw that Xiangyun had straightened up, reached out and pushed her to the other side of the hillside!

Licorice and Lurou watched Daiyu being pushed down by Xiangyun. Although Cuili stopped her, Licorice was petite. Taking advantage of the gap between Cuiwei and Lurou, Licorice rushed up the hillside.When I looked at Daiyu again, I saw that Daiyu was falling on the other side of the hillside. There was also an apricot forest there, but there were male relatives there.Although the man had turned his back, Daiyu was standing there alone, her face was flushed with shame, so she had to cover it with a handkerchief.

Licorice slid down in a hurry, and took a veil to cover Daiyu again.After all, he protected Daiyu and left there. When he looked up, he saw Shi Xiangyun standing on the hillside with a bit of resentment in his eyes.Licorice looked slightly startled, and when she looked away, she saw that Daiyu was also looking at Shi Xiangyun.Licorice hurriedly lowered her head, but the veil in her hand covered her even more tightly.

Looking back at the young man with his back turned to them, he saw a side face with a stern expression, unexpectedly very calm and dignified.Licorice breathed a sigh of relief, since this person knows how to see no evil, he should not be a talkative person.

After Lin Ze heard this, his face was already too dark.If Shi Xiangyun was right in front of him, he couldn't guarantee that his fist wouldn't hit Shi Xiangyun's face!The era of being a steamed stuffed bun has passed, and now Lin Ze has already begun to prepare for the promotion step by step.With Shui Zhan supporting him, the emperor favoring him, and Jane's father in the emperor's heart, Lin Ze didn't want to let his younger siblings be wronged after he swallowed his humiliation and achieved fame in the exam!

"It's over, that's all. I don't want to mention it, that..." Thinking of the man who passed by in the apricot forest, Daiyu's cheeks burned.That person is not like a dandy.

Lin Ze was noncommittal when he heard what Daiyu said.He only said to the licorice: "Young lady didn't eat at night, go and ask the cook to cook something easy to digest. I'll use it with the young lady."

After comforting Daiyu with a cup of jelly and partridge soup, Lin Ze went back to his room with a cold face.I have already made a plan in my heart, and I will go to trip the Shi family tomorrow!Isn't it just embarrassing him to let your girl rush to her death like this!Lin Ze was unhappy, and making the person he held on top of his heart unhappy was tantamount to making him unhappy.

But the next day, before Lin Ze left, Jia's carriage had already arrived.This time it was still Jia Lian who drove here, and invited Daiyu and Lin Ze to go there together.He also said that now is the time when the empress wants to visit her relatives. After all, the relatives of the whole family should also visit.

They just came at the same time, and there was also the carriage sent by Shen Yu. Lin Ze looked at it and got into the carriage sent by Shen Yu honestly.After all, the Jia family has nothing to fear, but if Shen Yu wants to get angry, he can't stop it!

In the carriage, Lin Ze wanted to sneer when he thought of Jia Lian saying those words.Although there was a smile all along his face, his downcast eyes were full of sarcasm.Visiting relatives is a great honor to say the least, but in reality?That's just to evacuate the Rongguo Mansion's property.

The Rongguo Mansion is said to be the mansion of the Duke of the State, but counting from the first generation of the Duke of Rongguo, it is only three or four generations from the beginning.Talk about family background, some.As for whether it is rich or not, Lin Ze believes that even if they can't empty out the whole mansion after visiting relatives once, I'm afraid they can get nine out of ten of their family's wealth.Otherwise, in the original book, Daiyu wouldn't have said the words "I will never pick up the next one".

This time, the magnificent Grand View Garden, the family-sanctioning villa, no longer has the Lin family’s two or three million taels of foreign wealth. Now, Lin Ze will take a good look at it.How to build a family-visiting villa?

Lin Ze was right.Less than two days after the initial joy, Mrs. Wang and the others began to feel anxious.It's not for anything else, just because the imperial decree says that the imperial concubine is allowed to visit relatives, but the emperor's woman can't just be let to sit in the flower hall, right?That's too bad!

So, the imperial decree issued by the emperor has some meanings.Among them is this article: "Where there is a home in Chongyu Bieyuan, you can stay outside the pass, and you might as well invite the inner court Luanyu to enter its private residence."That is to say, without a newly built luxurious place, your concubine cannot come back.

But this is the place where the imperial concubine Fengluan can drive, so it can be built if it is built?How can it be built without manpower, material and financial resources!

Today's Rongning and Ningfu are next to each other, occupying a whole Ningrong Street, and there is a lot of space.But the corresponding wood, bricks and tiles have to be bought with money.After the garden is built, it will be an expense to plant some exotic flowers and plants in it.Besides, the house is all built, so is it just bare and nothing inside?It must have been decorated.

Mrs. Wang thought about it again, those beds, tables, chairs, curtains, gauzes, those antique calligraphy, paintings, gold and jade toys, which ones should not be used for exquisite things?Even if it's a little worse, you can't take it out!

In addition, when the garden is built, some people have to be assigned to watch and clean it.Even if these people can be dialed from their own wives and maids, how much can they dial?It is necessary to buy people from outside. Thinking about it, this is also an extra expense.

Madam Wang already felt a headache just thinking about these things.

After Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen, and Jia Lian met together, they thought it would be impossible to build such a family-friendly garden without 80 million taels of silver.

Where did such a large sum of money come from?This is not something that can be obtained by touching the upper and lower lips. Even if it is embezzled from the public account, the amount that can be moved is only 10,000+ taels of silver.If it is really going to be moved to the construction of the garden, what about the food and drink of the whole family?

Thinking of these places, Mrs. Wang's head hurts even more.

She is the one who knows the family background of Rongguo Mansion the most!There is silver in the public, but not much.After all, the annual income of the mansion is limited.And it is also put on the books clearly.

Besides, Jia Amnesty, even though Zhou Ruilai had copied Zhou Ruilai's furniture before, he also copied a lot of money.But only 30 taels were seen in the public account.Only half of the 30 taels was swallowed up by the elder in front of the old lady!

Speaking of this, Mrs. Wang felt another burst of pain like cutting flesh.Whether that silver is for Yuan Chun's promotion is still a question mark!Eunuch Xia didn't say that he had received such a large sum of money. Although Eunuch Xia would not say how much bribes he had received, at least Mrs. Wang could tell a thing or two from his tone.

It seems that the old master has a lot of ambiguity from the 30 taels.

Speaking of Jia Zheng, he has an errand for a member of the Ministry of Industry, Wailang, but he loves to keep Qing Ke the most.As far as Jia Zheng's salary is concerned, it is not enough for him to spend.Every day, I have to withdraw some money from the account to use it!Not to mention Jia Lian, donating a fellow acquaintance, that is a vain job.Such a big family all count on the income from the Zhuangzi bought by the ancestors, how much can they earn every year?

Even if there is, it can't help that so many people have so many mouths to eat and drink!

The real rich in the house are the wives and grandmas of each house.Mrs. Wang sighed a few times, everyone understands this truth.But most of the money of those wives and grandmas comes from dowry, so is it possible that she still opens her mouth to ask others to take it out and build a garden for her?Intuit made people laugh a little bit, and there is no such rule when it comes out!

Jia Amnesty and others had a discussion in the Rongguo Mansion. Because it was a happy event for the entire family, Jia Zhen of the Ningguo Mansion gave up the garden in the mansion and took out 8 taels of silver.Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng each gave 10 taels of silver, and Jia's mother also allocated 34 taels from her own money to the mansion. With such a combination, together with the trivial silver, there are also 5 to [-] taels.However, compared with Jianyuanzi's estimate, this is more than a star and a half away.

Mrs. Wang is bitter, and she has to go to Jiamu to complain every few days.But Mother Jia ignored her. She knew that Mrs. Wang was probably the richest person in the house.If it is said that the money in the public account can't be saved, where did the money that was left over the years go.

snort!Mother Jia sneered, didn't they all go into the second wife's private treasury!

It is indeed a great joy to visit relatives in Yuanchun, especially for Mrs. Wang.After all, she was the one who gave birth to Yuan Chun, and the empress's dignity is also hers, isn't it?Therefore, Mrs. Wang was extremely generous when it came to building a family-friendly villa for Yuanchun.The money in the public account is flowing like running water every day.

Anyway, it's spent on her daughter's face, as long as it doesn't go to her private money, Mrs. Wang is willing to do whatever she wants!

But within half a month, the project stalled.Not for anything else, just because the buyer came to beg for money with a mournful face.Mrs. Wang was also anxious, but there was no money left in the account, so she had to ask Mother Jia again.

Jia Mu glanced at her, and said with drooping eyelids: "My money has already been paid, and that's my body. You should figure out the rest of the matter yourself. I just have one thing to tell you, my mother's." Decentness is the dignity of our whole family. If you are still doing it for your own selfishness at this time, where can you put your empress's face?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang lowered her head even lower, but she couldn't help but spat viciously in her heart: Bah!This old man keeps saying that he is a decent man of the whole family, don't hide money for your own selfishness.But don't even look, who is the richest person in the mansion!Who doesn't know that this old guy has the most body.It's this time, and it still doesn't move!

Mrs. Wang was unhappy, so the expression on her face was naturally not very good-looking.But she also knew that the matter of visiting relatives was Yuan Chun's face after all.No matter how much she loves money, she has to weigh it.Therefore, after returning to the room, he sent Jin Chuan'er to find Xue's mother and daughter.Now she doesn't expect Sister Feng to help her.

Wang Xifeng is pregnant now, her belly is protruding high, and Ping'er has to watch her heart pounding when she walks a few steps.Because the old lady was promoted to the Minister of Fengzao Palace before Yuanchun, she was also kind to the elder, so after Wang Xifeng became pregnant, she also attached great importance to the child in Wang Xifeng's belly.Don't allow anyone to bother her at all, just wait for Wang Xifeng to give birth to a little grandson for her.

Mrs. Wang sneered a few times, hum, as far as the old lady is concerned, it would be fine if Sister Feng really gave birth to a boy.A girl is going to be born, maybe even her own status will go down!

After a while, Aunt Xue brought Xue Baochai over.

As soon as Aunt Xue entered the door, she was naturally full of congratulations, and when she mentioned that the mother was about to visit her relatives, there was another burst of laughter among the sisters.Baochai stood listening with a brocade box in her arms, saying a few words from time to time, complimenting Mrs. Wang so brightly, she held Baochai's hand and said with a smile, "My son, you still understand my heart. Your eldest sister came back to visit her relatives, I was 120 happy in my heart, but there was one thing that made me worry and gray my hair."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Xue asked, "Why did my sister say that? If there's anything wrong, just say it."

Mrs. Wang sighed lowly, and mentioned that the mansion was costing so much that it was unsustainable.He said again: "This is the first time in the palace that there is such a great favor. Since the empress is coming back to her mother's house, we must have a good time. Besides, the nobleman's family was so poor that week, but his family They also built a house waiting to welcome Fengjia. Not to mention Wu Guifei, Chen Guiren's home."

"If the empress is down in the competition, how...how will she gain a foothold in the palace in the future!"

Baochai and Aunt Xue looked at each other, and Baochai smiled and said, "Auntie is too worried, and I can only leave the outside affairs to Lian's second cousin. What do you want to worry about?"

Mrs. Wang took Baochai's hand and sighed: "My son, you don't know. Now that your sister Feng is pregnant, she is more and more unwilling to take care of the house. I have you to help me, and I can relieve my worries. Now even you can't help me, and I'm even more overwhelmed. It's said outside that there is your second cousin Lian to handle things, but you don't know, he doesn't care about everything now, and he is only willing to go when he has something to say. do it."

Aunt Xue said in surprise, "Is that true? Lian'er is too outrageous."
