Rebirth of the Zhang family in the Red Chamber

Jia Zheng didn't understand, didn't the empress's decree praise the Jia family, why did she become a threat to her mother.

Mother Jia saw Jia Zheng's doubts, and thought that Zheng'er was still so simple and kind, and he couldn't understand those whimsical tricks. It's no wonder that Zheng'er is so honest and kind, and he has been in the officialdom for so many years. That complicated and dark place has never been able to get out, "Zheng'er, the empress's edict said that we should continue to be loyal to the royal family, so that the giants in the palace will like Yuanchun more, and even let Yuanchun give birth to the emperor's heir. Where is it to make us loyal to the royal family? This is clearly intimidating us, asking our Jia family to stand in the camp of the empress and the eldest prince. After all, the harem is under the control of the empress. Whether it is good or bad for Yuanchun to pass, can you? Conceiving an imperial heir, the meaning of the empress is also very important. For Yuanchun, for the Jia family to become the niece of the little prince, and for the Jia family to continue to prosper, we have to comply with the empress's wishes and want to give the empress If the empress surrenders, the person in charge of the Jia family must be trusted by the empress, but compared with the people in the big house, Zhenger, your second wife and the empress do not have much contact with the Shen family. How can this make the empress feel at ease? Home, rest assured Yuanchun"

After Jia Zheng heard this, he already understood what his mother meant. As the daughter of the Shen family, the eldest sister-in-law and the empress were in a natural camp. It is the eldest brother and Jia Xun, who are one with her. Naturally, compared to the second room, the empress trusts the eldest room more. If the eldest room lives in this Rongxi Hall, and they are in charge of the house, then the Jia family belongs to the family. Now that the Empress and the First Prince are supporters, Yuan Chun is also a member of the Empress's family, and can even become a confidant, so the Empress may try her best to make Yuan Chun pregnant, so as to increase alliances and support for the First Prince.

Thinking that he might become the grandfather of a prince, maybe a grandfather of a prince. If it works properly, it is not impossible to become the grandfather of the emperor.

When Jia Zheng thought of what it would be like if he became the emperor's grandfather, he couldn't help but tremble with excitement. Compared with that glory, the momentary frustration is nothing.

"Mother, my son knows that you are all for the future of Jia's family. You have never done anything wrong to my son. My son listens to you. So my son will go back and let the slaves pack up and prepare to move out of Rongxi Hall."

After Jia Zheng finished speaking, he was about to resign, but was stopped by Jia's mother, "Zheng'er needn't be so anxious, you can take a while to move out of Rongxi Hall. The most important thing now is to build the relatives garden. The construction has already started. Our family has not even confirmed the blueprint. It is really inappropriate. This matter should not be too far behind those other families, otherwise Yuan Chun will be looked down upon in the palace. You live in Rongxi Hall first. That said, the empress still wants to use Yuanchun. For Yuanchun's sake, she won't ask you to move now. As Yuanchun's parents, when Yuanchun visits relatives, you live in Rongxi Hall, and you also give the royal family a face. It’s not too late to move after the end, the empress will not blame you if you think about it.”

Mrs. Wang listened quietly on the side. After knowing that there was no need to move out immediately, she felt less uncomfortable. If Yuan Chun could conceive the emperor's heir before they moved out of Rongxi Hall, maybe they would not have to move at all. It seems She wanted to collect more secret recipes for getting a child and send them to Yuanchun.

This matter is over, but there is still no idea about the establishment of the Provincial Garden. In fact, the most important thing is that there is no money. With money, everything is not a problem.

But Jia's family has already been living without food, so how can they spend 200 million taels of silver to repair the garden?

"Mother, the money for repairing the garden..." Jia Zheng only knew that he wanted to repair the garden, but he didn't care about money at all. Li Jia's family never faced the problem of lack of money. Jia Zheng could not care about money, but Mrs. Wang could not. She naturally asked the question of money.

Mother Jia also knows the situation of the Jia family these years. Before Yu'er lived in the house, every time during the New Year's festival, Uncle Lin would send things to Jia's house in big carts and small carts. Most of the expenses during the festival were gifts from Mrs. Lin.

Ever since Yu'er left, Uncle Lin seemed to want to sever the relationship between the two families. It seems that the Lin family can't count on repairing the garden.

After pondering for a long time, Jia's mother said, "How much can the public give at most?"

Mrs. Wang looked distressed, "There are only a few thousand taels of silver left in the palace, and this is the rent money that was just collected not long ago. I have to keep the expenses of the family's food, clothing and gifts. I really can't move it."

Jia Mu secretly sighed, she knew that her family was different now, but she didn't expect it to be so difficult. After Jia Zheng heard this, he exclaimed, when did his grand Rongguo Mansion have only a few thousand people in the poor family? Two denarii are available.

Jia Zheng's exclamation made Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang feel embarrassed, but the fact is that neither of them knew how to avoid this embarrassment.

"Forget it in the public. It is a great event for the whole family to visit the mother's relatives. No, it should be a great event for the whole family. Zheng'er, go to Jia Zhen tomorrow and ask him to hold a clan meeting to discuss this matter. How much will each family pay?" Some, I should be able to make up 50 taels, and the rest of our family will give 30 taels. I have some private houses here, and I will also contribute 30 taels. 40 taels, shouldn’t be difficult, right?”

Although the public has no money, Mother Jia knows that Mrs. Wang must have made a lot of it secretly. The ancestors of the Rongguo Mansion fought with the founding emperor to conquer the north and the south. At the beginning, they made a lot of money. In ancient times, the wealth is still considerable, but being exploited layer by layer by the housekeeper's wife, all the property in the public office has become their private property in a legal way. There is no money in the public office, but their private houses are all rich. It's very, 40 taels. For Madam Wang, although it hurts her heart, it won't hurt her, so she agreed.

"In this way, there are 150 million taels. The land of the garden is split from the government as much as possible. You can save a lot of money by buying the land. Some of the songs, antiques, calligraphy and paintings displayed in the garden can be selected from the public warehouse, as well as the private collections of each house. After the family visit is over, just return it to various places, which can save a lot of money. There is a Zhuangzi in the south of me, and there should be some good wood stored there, which can be pulled and used. In this way, 150 million taels should be Is it enough?"

Mrs. Wang quickly calculated the approximate budget for repairing the garden, "Land and furnishings are the big things, and high-quality wood is also a scarce thing now, and the price is extremely high. Now there is no need to spend on these things. 150 million taels of garden repair should be paid for." is enough"

On the second day, Jia Zheng went to Jia Zhen. The Jia family showed great enthusiasm for the matter of the concubine's relatives. They collected three pieces of 10,000+ taels of silver, and the remaining 10,000+ taels of silver in Ningguo Mansion. It's made up. On the side of Rongguo Mansion, Jia Amnesty is unwilling to pay the money. What does the second room's daughter have to do with him? If he has that money, he might as well buy a few more beautiful girls to have fun together. When the money came, Jia's mother stared at him, and immediately made him languid, muttering, unwilling in her heart, but she didn't dare to mention the matter of not giving the money.

But Wang Xifeng began to rejoice that Jia Xun was not around, and that they were the only heirs of the Dafang, and it was enough for the Dafang to contribute a share of the money, and it was not necessary for their small family to contribute a share, otherwise she would feel so distressed to death.

The money arrived in the account soon, and the Jia family began to act collectively, just to catch up with the progress of the other families as soon as possible, and prevent their own mother-in-law from being laughed at in the palace.

Jia Zheng was worried for a few days, and found that the empress did not send anyone to tell them to move out of Rongxi Hall immediately. Knowing that his mother's guess was correct, he was relieved and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the construction of the garden. In the middle of the event, although because of his participation, the money spent on one thing was more than three times more expensive than normal, but he is the father of the empress, who dares to say anything, and it is not their money spent, naturally No one stopped Jia Zheng, and they still wanted to make this master more ignorant, so that they could get more benefits from it.

In fact, Jia's mother really thought too much. The queen's decree was completely ordered by the emperor. The few families in Beijing with concubines started to build provincial gardens. The high-quality wood and stone materials, as well as unattended flowers and trees, and even precious antique calligraphy and paintings are all prepared, and they can make a lot of money by building a family garden.

It didn't take long for the emperor's private treasury to exceed the national treasury's silver, which made the emperor very happy. Compared with those who started construction, the Jia family who hadn't moved yet made the emperor dislike the extravagant life of the Jia family. , even he, the emperor, knew that if he wanted to build a garden in Jia's house, it would cost more money than the other houses. How could the emperor, who counted silver every day until his heart was full of enthusiasm, let Jia's house go.

The emperor missed a little bit of meaning for the empress, and the empress comprehended such a decree. The empress really had no other intentions, but according to the emperor's wishes, she told the Jia family not to forget to build a family garden. It is specifically stated that the family-friendly garden is related to their mother's life in the palace, and even their future.

After Yi's decree was issued, the Jia family started work within three days. The queen thought that Jia's family had correctly understood the meaning of her Yi's decree, but she didn't know that was not the case at all.

The empress did not intend to pull the Jia family into the camp of the eldest prince at all. A family that was black marked by the emperor and destined to disappear in smoke, she was stupid to want to pull it. She asked the family to keep Shen and Jia. Xun's staying here is only for the little bit of blood relationship. It is completely impossible for her to do more for the Jia family.

Jia's garden was completed on schedule, even a few days earlier than those who started construction earlier.During the construction of the garden, everyone was very busy, but Jia Baoyu was extremely happy. For the sake of the garden, the Jia family sent people to the south to buy a lot of small actors with signs. Don't have too much fun with the little actors.

Now that the garden is ready, it's time to submit the brochure and ask for family visits.Things hadn't changed because of the advance visit, Jia Yuanchun was still scheduled for the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

The young masters of the Jia family or the slaves who had to be used by the Jia family to repair the garden, they continued the Jia family's usual style, and they were greedy for ink. In the end, the 150 million taels of silver was not enough. In the end, Mrs. Wang still came from Xue The family borrowed another 10 taels, and promised the marriage of Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai.

Jia Yuanchun's relatives gave Xue Baochai a different gift from other girls but the same gift as Jia Baoyu. Everyone knew what this meant. Mrs. Wang was satisfied, but Jia's mother was very dissatisfied. Just like that, he was ruined by his ignorant mother. How could a girl from a lowly businessman be worthy of the son of his Rongguo Mansion.

Mother Jia also doesn't think about Jia Baoyu's virtue now, except for Aunt Xue who is dazzled by the luxury of Jia's family, who would marry her daughter? The dark fetus is knotted.

After Jia Yuanchun's family visit was over, Jia Zheng began to prepare to move out of Rongxitang. His current goal is to be the future prince, and even the emperor's grandfather. For this goal, he is willing to do anything.

Before they could pack up, news came from the palace that Jia Yuanchun was pregnant. Now Jia Zheng was even more excited. He seemed to have seen the scene where he was complimented and envied by those who used to despise him.

Jia Yuanchun is pregnant, and the second room will not move. They did not disclose the news that they will move out of Rongxitang before. Until the last moment, Mrs. Wang will not give up. There is no need to move the things in the Grand View Garden now, and Mrs. Wang silently applauds her wisdom in her heart.

A few days later, before the Jia family and their relatives and friends could reply from the good news of Jia Yuanchun's pregnancy, it was reported again in the palace that Concubine Xiande accidentally slipped and fell, and the fetus was lost, and Concubine Xiande fell ill because of this Yes, because Concubine Xiande's health is too poor, no one is allowed to visit, the emperor and empress have ordered her to rest.

No matter how eager the Jia family was to know what was going on in the palace, there was nothing they could do. There was no useful news from the palace to reassure them, and the palace could not be entered. Being blocked back, everyone felt very uneasy.

After a few days, this anxiety became a reality, and Concubine Xiande passed away.
