The jade that pulls the red mansion is also crazy

Chapter 37: Borrowing money to build a garden

Coincidentally, Ying'er and Qi'er were caught off guard, and came up with a wonderful method, but it was too teasing, so I amused myself, thinking: People like them don't know any shame at all, so they might as well have a good time. Let everyone be happy, because there is no chance for a short time, so they wait quietly, not in a hurry.

So every day, I either play in school with Baoyu and others, or drink and talk outside with Xue Pan and all the children of Jia's mansion. When I return home, I still talk and laugh in front of Jia's mother, and hang out with Daiyu and all the sisters.

It is said that Jia's mansion suddenly got a big news on this day, that the concubine Yuan will return to Jia's relatives around Dongyue. It turned out that the Holy Majesty did not know whose suggestion he had heard. He felt that this method is very humane and can also reflect the monarch's grace. Since Jia's mansion gave this joy from the sky, all the people in the house were in a hurry, every day there were tens of thousands of things out of thin air to make calculations to welcome the grand event.

So they built a large garden together, with pavilions, pavilions, mountains, rivers, flowers and birds, to be used as a villa for the concubine Yuan to visit relatives. Others heard the news, but when Du Daiyu heard it, she felt puzzled, because she remembered what Yinxiang had said that day According to the words, there must be his reasons for being suspicious of the Holy Majesty's order.

Seeing the hustle and bustle of Jia's mansion, he couldn't rest for a day, and he couldn't help sighing: It can be seen that being in a high position is a world away from others, but just one or two sentences can turn this small mansion upside down up.

At the end of January, the measurements and calculations of various places were completed, the ground was broken, and various things in the garden began to be purchased outside.The garden is so huge that it occupies more than half of the street, with carved red walls and landscape pavilions. Although it has not yet been seen, the prosperous and colorful scene in the future can already be imagined.

When the family visit came out, everyone in Jia's house turned their backs on their backs, but Sister Dufeng was the most tired of them all. Even though there was no concubine Yuan, there were still hundreds of important and small things waiting for her every day in Jia's house. There are so many things to do every day out of thin air, and there is no leisure for a moment. From the moment I opened my eyes, there were many people waiting for things to be done. They were busy every day until late at night. She tried her best to support her, and even Mrs. Wang lost a lot of leisure time every day, and she was always disturbed by other chores every day. After one month, her body gradually became useless, and she often rested in the house.

Let's talk about gossip with Sister Feng that day, and talk about half of the purchases in the mansion have not been implemented, so there is a shortage of money. Mrs. Wang said: "I remember that the Zhao family owes us [-] silver, do you want to come?"

Sister Feng hurriedly laughed and said, "Madam, have you forgotten? The Zhao family paid it back a long time ago, and now there are still a few arrears of rent that have been confiscated. The legal person went to urge them, but they haven't come back yet. There is also the money borrowed by the Zhen family last year. Also, they’ve become tighter in recent years, so they can’t be counted on.”

Mrs. Wang frowned and said nothing for a long while, "You can't bother the old lady with this matter, and the master doesn't care about it. You go first, and I will think of a way."

Sister Feng agreed to go, and Mrs. Wang thought about it for a long time, and then she wanted to speak to Xue's family, thinking again and again: Those renters may not be able to get back, and those big households who owed money were prosperous in those days, but now they have heard of it. There are such and other difficulties, if it is not paid back in three to five years, the family will not be able to pay for it for a while, even though my sister's family doesn't say anything, it is not good after all, but I should find other ways.

Suddenly thinking about it, I thought of Lin Long. Since the Daiyu brothers and sisters entered Jia's mansion, they have spent all their own food, drink and food. Looking at it, they seem to be very generous. Lin Ruhai is the only daughter, and this time she ordered her to live in Jia's mansion. Therefore, it is inevitable to give her money, but even ask her to do it.

So he asked the girl to call Daiyu, and only said to invite her for something. Daiyu was going to Jiamu's place. When Mrs. Wang called her, she had to come for some reason. The lord seat asked him to pour tea again, and first asked Daiyu how she was doing recently. After chatting for a while, Fang sent her back and said with a smile, "Your second sister-in-law came here for no other reason than to build this building." For the garden, the cost is tight for a while, the rent in the field will be collected later, and the purchases and other things in the various places below are waiting for expenses, so I can't do it for the time being, my aunt wants to borrow some money from you for a while, I don't know if I can make it or not .”

Daiyu was stunned for a moment, it turned out that Lin Long had told her recently that when eating and drinking with the brothers of the Jia family, or someone who was in charge of planting flowers and trees, buying birds, etc., said a few words about the difficult things in Jia's house , he told Daiyu to be on guard, and she laughed at Lin Long for being too cautious, "Even if my aunt's family is in a hurry to use the money, it may not be able to borrow from us." She opened her mouth, wouldn't she be surprised.

Then he said with a faint smile: "My aunt's family is in trouble. My niece shouldn't have resigned. It's just that the money I brought with me has been controlled by my brother. I don't have any money on me. My aunt will have to bother again."

Mrs. Wang nodded and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, I'll talk to your brother when he comes back in the evening. It just so happens that I have another request for him."

After a few words, because Daiyu was going to Jia Mu's place too, they simply went together.

At that time, there were only Sanchun sisters in the house, Baochai and some daughter-in-laws followed Jiamu, and a few girls beat their legs and backs. Jiamu was lying on the couch, and Mrs. Wang came. Mother said, "you've been tired recently, so you can rest at home. You don't have to come and see me."

Baochai looked at Mrs. Wang and said with a smile, "Is your wife not well?"

Mrs. Wang said: "During these days, I slept late every day, and my muscles were very sore, but it's nothing."

Baochai hurriedly laughed and said: "That's not the case. Although it's nothing now, if you don't pay attention to maintenance, a small illness can become a serious illness if you don't pay attention to maintenance. I heard that there is a small red pill called 'Jiugen Yangshen Pill'." , is made from deep mountain nine-flavored thousand-year-old fairy grass, if you have it in your house, you only need to take two or three pills of it, and your body will be healthy immediately, it is much better than those bird's nests and ginseng."

Tanchun couldn't help laughing and said: "It's Sister Bao after all, she knows a lot, I've grown up so much, I've never heard of such a elixir."

Baochai hurriedly laughed and said, "This pill is not easy to get, it's also hard to make, and it's not easy to buy, so few people know about it. You haven't heard of it, so it's normal."

Jia Mu nodded and said, "Since this is good, I might as well ask them to bring some. Miss Lin is not in good health, so if she can take it, she can also take two pills."

The girl was about to go, Mrs. Wang said with a quick smile: "Don't ask them, we don't have such things in our house, even if you buy them outside, it's not easy to buy, and it's expensive, so you don't need to spend money."

Baochai pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Don't worry about it, madam. No matter how much you spend, there is a limit to it. Just cover me."

Everyone chatted some gossip, and in the afternoon, Lin Longfang came back and brought Daiyu back a few small baskets made of flowers and branches, and Daiyu told him about Mrs. Wang's borrowing money, Lin Long said with a smile: " Good answer, I should have answered this way, when did my sister become so smart?"

Daiyu laughed softly and said, "Are you borrowing or not?"

Lin Long smiled but did not answer. Suddenly, she saw someone coming from Mrs. Wang to tell Lin Long to go. The two smiled and gave each other a wink.

It happened that Baoyu came to visit again and had a conversation with him. Someone said, "Miss Bao, please go to the second master." Well, I'll go later." Daiyu hurriedly snatched the things in his hand, and said with a smile, "you should go quickly, maybe there are some good things like 'nine roots' and 'ten roots' waiting for you to go. It's hard to buy, and expensive, isn't it much better than the vulgar things here?" After urging him dozens of times, Baoyu went reluctantly.

After waiting for another cup of tea, Lin Long came back.Dai Yuyin asked: "It's been so long, what do you say?"

Lin Long took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "I told my wife that the money has been released, and I won't come back until it's time, but I can find someone to lend it to her."

Daiyu laughed and said, "But you're lying, what friends do you have here? Who can you borrow from?"

Seeing that there was no one around, Lin Long laughed softly and said, "Of course I don't have any friends, and I didn't give any money out. I just want to be a small landlord and rent a part of this garden. , earning money and living in peace of mind, wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds? When the time comes, they will also build a garden, and they will definitely thank us, so I don’t worry about lending it to them.”

Daiyu nodded and said, "I also know that it may not be appropriate to lend it to them. If so, it's fine." After thinking about it, she said, "Today I heard that my wife has something to delegate to you. I don't know what it is? "

Lin Long said: "It's nothing, it's just that the family wants to invite a Taoist nun, she's called 'Yu', because she is very arrogant, the family not only needs to send a post to invite her, but also find a safe and secure person to escort her. Hearing that I learned a little kung fu when I was a child, and she felt relieved about me, she asked me to go. It's not a difficult task."

Daiyu still didn't know that this 'jade' was the Miaoyu she met on the mountain that day. Later, the lantern festival changed, and Nanchuan left home. There were many ups and downs, but none of them escaped what she said at the beginning. When she heard that Lin Long was going to take a trip, her heart fell Feeling a bit lost, they asked, "When are you leaving?"

Lin Long said, "Leave in two days."

Daiyu said with a leisurely smile, "Since that's the case, I'll prepare the things for my brother when he goes out."

Lin Long smiled and said, "There's no need to prepare anything, and I'll be back in just two or three days."

But Daiyu didn't listen to him, and at sunset on the second day, she personally went to Lin Long's place, picked out one or two clean clothes and folded them, and put the scattered silver into the small pouch she had sewn in the past, and a fan , sweat towels and other small things, and fearing that the journey will be boring, I brought two or three books.Ask the girl to pack them all up, and seeing that there are no flowers or plants in his house, she asks the girl to fetch two pots from her own room and put them on the window sill by herself.

Guessing that Lin Long would be back soon, she sat in the room and waited for him for a while, when she saw Long Er said, "The second master is back, now go to the room to talk to the old lady and others."

After hearing this, Daiyu swayed to Jiamu's place, but unexpectedly caught up with a good show that shocked the whole family.
