"You said that the master asked Brother Qing to take over the provincial villa of the Niangniang?"

After listening to Jia Lian's words, Mrs. Wang was the first to ask. She didn't expect that Jia Zheng would actually hand over the garden where their daughter went home to save her relatives to Jia Qing to build!

Jia Lian replied: "Mrs. Hui, yes, this is what the old men have agreed on......"

Jia Mu didn't have any special reaction, but said: "You will tell me specifically, your master is clearly at home, and he is an official of the Ministry of Works, why don't you personally build a garden for your eldest sister?" ”

Jia Lian was a little hesitant, and if he wanted to say anything, he would inevitably mention the short money at home. If it's all her own family, now Aunt Xue is still in the hall, but she is really rich, and she will inevitably feel a little shameless when she says it.

It's just that he didn't dare to let Aunt Xue avoid it, and he couldn't help but answer Jia's mother's words, so after thinking about it, he had to say:

"That's the case, the second brother feels that since it is a garden to welcome the eldest sister home to save his relatives, he must build a brilliant atmosphere, and he can't weaken the momentum of the eldest sister.

I also know that the lord is advocating thrift and loyalty to the country, even if it is to welcome the eldest sister and save relatives, he must not be too luxurious.

This is the embodiment of the master's uprightness and self-cultivation.

But as younger brothers, when we follow the path of filial piety, we will have no worries about this. Therefore, I discussed with my grandson that I might as well let him build a garden for the eldest sister with full authority, so that even if the cost is too much, it will be okay with the master's name!

For the sake of the second brother's filial piety, the master agreed. ”

After a paragraph, the meaning is roughly the same, but there are several different expressions. Poor Jia Lian, it's been a long time since I've used my brain like this.

Mother Jia has experienced a lot of things, how can she not see that Jia Lian's words must have reservations! Hence the words:

"It's good that you have that intention, but you still can't be too lazy. By the way, how much money are you going to spend on this garden? ”

"The lord asked an old man from the Ministry of Industry to call the old gentleman of Shanziye to design the garden, if it is built completely according to his design, the second brother said, at least 400,000 taels of silver."

The sisters sitting in the hall had never heard that it cost so much money to do something. 400,000 taels, isn't that a mountain of silver that can be piled up?

Therefore, there is some expectation of what it will be like to build a garden with so much silver.

When Mrs. Wang heard this number, she narrowed her eyes slightly, and her face calmed down.

As the wife in charge of Rongguo Mansion, of course she knows how thick Rongguo Mansion's family background is.

400,000 taels, no matter what, it is impossible to take out so much cash silver to build a garden, that is to say, Ning Guofu also has silver, but I don't know how much......

Jia's mother didn't know about the treasury of Rongguo Mansion, and after she was raised, she only took care of her own private treasury. However, after all, the person who has taken care of the big things, although he does not know, can guess the approximately, so he asks:

"How is this money planned?"

Jia Lian was a little difficult, and he wanted to make another trick, but this thing is one and two is two, how can it be a trick? Wouldn't it be unjust if I was clever here, but ended up with a panic?

It's all about telling the truth!

Anyway, Aunt Xue is also the sister's own sister, and she can't laugh at it.

"This, because we want to prepare the eldest sister to go home to save the expenses of the relatives, the old man discussed and decided to take out 100,000 taels of silver from the public middle school......"

Jia Lian said.

Jia Mu said: "How much?" ”

"One hundred thousand taels..."

Jia Mu heard it clearly now, and asked again: "Brother Qing has nothing to say?" ”

"No, no, he took the initiative to bring it up!"

"Aren't you blushing?"

As soon as Jia Mu said this, Mrs. Wang immediately prepared to stand up. Jia Mu waved her hand and motioned for her to sit, her eyes only looking at Jia Lian.

Jia Lian couldn't, so he had to blush and say: "Originally, the master planned to use 200,000 taels of silver, so it happened that the two mansions would each pay 100,000 taels......

But the second brother said that 200,000 taels is definitely not enough, and he has to prevent his subordinates from being greedy for ink in private, so the garden built in this way must be ......

Therefore, he told the master that he should be fully responsible, and he must build the best garden to welcome the eldest sister home to save her relatives! ”

As soon as Jia Lian's words were finished, everyone in the hall had different ideas.

Jia Mu didn't expect that the house was so embarrassed that it was too much to build a provincial garden!

Mrs. Wang had a hard time saying that she had to practice closed-mouth meditation.

Aunt Xue's mother and daughter remembered that Jia Qing asked her family to help purchase rare stones not long ago, I am afraid that Jia Qing was planning this matter at that time. However, as an official of the DPRK and China, it is not a miracle that he can receive the news in advance, but it can be seen that he cares.

In Sanchun's opinion, it is much simpler, but he feels that Jia Qing is greater and selfless. Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, say take it out!

Is Jia Qingzhen so selfless?

Not really.

First, he was indeed afraid that Jia Zheng would take the insufficient funds and build a defective Grand View Garden, and he would vomit to death!

Second, he really didn't want to watch Jia Zheng and his party wait to feed the rats in the two mansions with the silver of the white flowers! As long as he can cut off this extremely unjust expenditure, in fact, it won't add much!

Thirdly, and most importantly, although it is said to be a provincial garden, the owner is Yuanchun. But how long can Genharu stay inside? I'm afraid I won't be able to come back once a year, and it's only a few hours at a time!

The first owner is not there, so, since the garden was built by himself, except for Yuan Chun, who can have more say in the use of the garden in the future?

At that time, even if Mrs. Wang wanted to be a blessing inside, I am afraid that she would have to see Jia Qing's face! Otherwise, there are a lot of people who won't be stingy with cool words......

Therefore, this is the reason why he still wants to take over this project when the "treasury" is not particularly abundant!

"No matter how tight we are, we can't get to this matter, since the money in the public is not abundant, then I will pay for this money!

Brother Qing wants to make his eldest sister decent and willing to take over this matter, but we can't pretend not to know and let him suffer as a matter of course.

So I'll give you a hundred thousand taels and give him two hundred thousand taels of silver."

In this way, although he still has to add more, he will only make him suffer a loss. ”

Finally, looking at the thoughtful expressions of the people in the hall, Jia Mu suddenly said.

Mrs. Wang didn't dare to sit still, so she quickly stood up and pleaded guilty: "It's the daughter-in-law who has no way to govern the family." ”

Jia Mu said: "I don't blame you, the house has been used a lot over the years, and there are only so many items." Suddenly encountered such a big thing, it is normal to be shorter, but it is just a joke for Mrs. Auntie. ”

Jia Mu said and smiled at Aunt Xue.

Aunt Xue also smiled: "Where do you dare to laugh, this is full of wealth!" We don't think we can do that in a short time. ”

The Jia and Xue families are close relatives, and Jia's mother admires Aunt Xue's personality, so she can talk about family affairs in front of her without worrying. Aunt Xue naturally knows this, but she is very good at being a person, so she only listens silently on the side and does not speak indiscriminately.

Although Xue Pan's father went, the Xue family has been a royal businessman for generations and has a huge wealth. Not much to say, there should still be millions of family fortunes.

But she is very good at finding the right position, and she perfectly avoided Jia Mu's jokes. What's more sensible is that she didn't take the initiative to borrow silver to get a favor at this time, because she knew that a family like Jiafu would rather be shorter than a last resort, and would never borrow money from relatives!

If she speaks now, she won't please her, she will only make people think that she is underestimating the Jia family!

Mother Jia kept staring at Aunt Xue, and saw that she was careful to abide by the law that if she said more, she would not say a word, and she once again looked up to this Aunt Xue's wife.

Seeing that Jia's mother's gaze turned back, Mrs. Wang hurriedly said the result of her thoughts: "Since the old lady has made 200,000 taels, then I will go back and discuss with the old man again, and spend 150,000 taels from the public school, and I will add another 50,000 taels, so I can make 200,000 taels anyway, and I don't dare to let the old lady ......make up for it."

Jia Mu said categorically: "What you say can't be done, you still have to save some silver in the public school, otherwise you won't be a family!"

But as the mother of the mother, you should also give out the silver, so let's fold it, take out a total of 100,000 taels, and close the 100,000 taels in the gongzhong. ”

Although Mrs. Wang is the daughter of the Wang family, has a dowry industry, and is the wife of the head of the Jia Mansion, she can only take out tens of thousands of taels of silver in her hand now. Otherwise, when Jia Mu said this, she would rather add it all herself.

After all, it's her own daughter who is going home.

But she didn't have that much silver, so she had to rely on Jia's mother's words.

Seeing that the overall situation was decided, Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "Oh, the posture of the old lady and the wife is like joining forces to welcome our eldest lady home!" So, I have to say it. It's just that I don't have the capital of the two rich men, and after doing the math, I still have a family foundation of 10,000 taels of silver, so I can only take it all out for filial piety! ”

Jia Mu scolded with a smile: "What are you fooling again? This matter has nothing to do with you juniors, how much silver can you have? ”

The torture lady on the side was stunned, she didn't have any money? She has more money than I do! But she also knows that as long as she talks about money, she has no part to speak, so she doesn't say a word from beginning to end, which is like transparency.

As he was talking, he heard the maid outside preaching:

"Second Master Qing is here."
