Mengpo Zhai, Jia Zheng woke up from a nap, and suddenly heard someone report from the next person:

"Second Master Lian asks to see the master."

Jia Zheng let his life come in and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Jia Lian said: "I came for the garden." ”

Jia Zheng asked: "Didn't you let your second brother do this, why, something happened just after the start of construction?" ”

Jia Lian hurriedly said: "No, no, nothing happened, now it's just building a wall, and nothing has moved." ”

"Why, then, did you come to me?"

Jia Lian hesitated, but still said: "That's the case, a few stewards in our house found me and said that they wanted to contribute to building a garden in the house......"

Jia Zheng bowed his head and said: "Although the matter is handed over to the Dongfu to handle, we don't mean that we don't care about it, so that the place where the upper force is still needed."

It would be nice to be able to cover the yard as soon as possible. ”

Jia Lian said: "That's exactly what I said, now that the second brother is not at home, it is said that all the tools that build the garden are in charge of the promotion, by the way, I heard that the second brother invited Mr. Shanziye to the past in order to build a good garden, and also participated in the cut." ”

Jia Zheng didn't care, and looked at Jia Lian: "Don't beat around the bush, let's talk about what it's for." ”

Jia Lian hurriedly said: "It's just that a few stewards in our house have come to Lai Sheng to discuss, and they want to take care of a few things alone, whether it is purchasing bricks and tiles, mud and stone, or managing craftsmen, they can still help a little."

It's just that I can't let it go. ”

Jia Zheng asked, "What's the reason?" ”

He said that the second brother had already arranged the size of the garden before leaving, and specially instructed not to trouble the housekeepers and stewards in our house.

Naturally, they were not convinced, explaining that it was a matter of the two governments, so why couldn't they let the people in our mansions contribute? Lai Sheng said that this is the second brother who obtained your consent, master. ”

Jia Zheng thought about it, Jia Qing came over seriously that day, and seemed to really make a lot of suggestions to him, all about building a garden. He felt that since the matter was handed over to Jia Qing, he didn't listen carefully, and whenever he said a word, he should all respond, and finally said impatiently, "It's all arranged by you, no need to say anything more", so as to drive Jia Qing out.

In this way, he couldn't say anything, so he asked: "Did Lai Sheng tell Qing'er what the reason is?" ”

Jia Lian's expression was shy, and it was difficult to say something, so he had to take out a booklet from his sleeve.

"The master will understand when he looks at this."

Jia Zheng took it, opened it and looked at it, the head:

"The relevant regulations of the Jia clan on building a provincial family courtyard for Niangniang"

Jia Zheng had a big greeting on his head: "What is it?" ”

Jia Lian also looked helpless, and only said: "The master will know if you look down." ”

Jia Zheng opened it again and looked down, fortunately, the following words are quite normal, they are all the rules that Jia Qing talked about in Ning'an Hall that day, and they have been refined.

Each article and paragraph directly refers to the handling of corruption and sabotage, and the rewards and punishments are also two extremes, and they are ruthless.

Jia Zheng was a little roundabout, but definitely not stupid, and it was easy to see the purpose of these clauses and the expected effect that could be achieved.

Obviously, Jia Qing didn't want the people from Rongguo Mansion to go in and do things, so as not to break the rules and he would not be able to deal with it!

Jia Zheng closed the booklet and said, "What do you think?" ”

Jia Lian said: "My nephew thinks that if he follows the second brother's approach, although he can save a lot of money, it is too ruthless and harsh. It is inevitable that the people below will complain, and it will not be good for the reputation if it is spread out......"

Jia Zheng said coldly: "You can only see that you can save money, can't you see that this practice can also ensure that the garden built for the mother will not go wrong?" ”

"Nephew stupid ......"

Jia Zheng sighed again: "In the past, Qing'er, I only thought he was well-behaved and sensible, and he was polite and motivated.

Who knows that now that I'm older, I'm getting more and more extreme......

That's it, it's up to him to make trouble about this matter, as long as he doesn't miss the mother's business, it's his decision anyway, I don't have anything to say, he may not be willing to listen to it, or he has to make him suffer a loss to understand.

However, he is still young, and it is not necessarily a bad thing to suffer some losses, and in the future, I am afraid that he will still have to support the lintel of our Jia family. Now that I'm still here, it's good to hone a little more. ”

Jia Zheng figured it out as he spoke, but after listening to his last sentence, he obviously felt that he was currently at the helm of the Jia family......

However, as soon as Jia Jing left home, the third generation, he really had to be.

Jia Lian listened to Jia Zheng's words silently, and frowned when he heard the sentence "I have to rely on Jia Qing to prop up the lintel".

Immediately relieved, the master even excluded Baoyu and Lan Ge'er, let alone me?

Thinking about Jia Qing's limelight over the years, what he has done and what he has said, alas, I can't help but say so.

"The nephew knows what the master means, and the nephew retires."

Jia Lian bowed respectfully and withdrew from Mengpo Zhai.

......

After three years, the ancient city of Yangzhou is still as prosperous and lively as ever.

Yangzhou City Wharf brought together almost all the big and small officials and big businessmen in Yangzhou early in the morning. The situation is even more prosperous than when Lin Ruhai went down to Yangzhou eight years ago.

When the huge official ship docked at the dock, all of a sudden, a shout of praise sounded on the pier: "Welcome to Lord Qincha!" ”

The sound of a wave reached the other side of the river by the sound of the water, startling a few birds in the trees.

Jia Qing didn't come forward, this is already the destination, since he came to visit Lin Ruhai on behalf of the Son of Heaven, he naturally can't be casual, and the honor guard must be sufficient.

First, the heavily armed soldiers of the brocade army displayed themselves on both sides of the avenue, standing directly in front of the official array, completely occupying the distance between the dock and the official formation.

The Yangzhou officials waited quietly for about half an hour, and only then did they take a big red eight to carry a soft sedan chair to the front.

After all, Yangzhou is just a place, and the level of officials is not high enough. In order to solemnly take the matter, the Nanjing Ministry of Rites specially sent Wang Zhao, the left attendant, to come, so the officials in Yangzhou were led by him.

Wang Zhao took a step forward and arched his hand: "Wang Zhao, the left attendant of the Nanjing Rite Department, will lead the officials of Yangzhou to welcome Lord Qincha!" ”

After a while, I heard a clear voice from the sedan chair:

"This official is in the emperor's life, it is not appropriate to stay, if you have nothing to do, please go back to the ya. If anything, please move away. ”

After speaking, the master of ceremonies immediately sang: "Silence~~Avoid~!" ”

Wang Zhao didn't expect Jia Qing to not even show his face, but he immediately led everyone to get out of the way.

The Qincha honor guard was activated, followed by more than ten sedan chairs, and slowly drove towards Yangzhou City.

When the team left, everyone couldn't hold back their discussions.

At this time, Director Zheng trotted all the way to the front and said: "The lower officials see Lord Wang, Lord Qincha has set his line in the Yamen of the Imperial History of Patrolling Salt, and specially instructed that if there is nothing important, do not disturb." ”

Wang Zhao asked, "Does Lord Qincha have any other orders?" ”

"Nope."

Wang Zhao thought for a while, and said to the officials in Yangzhou: "Lord Qincha's state affairs are important, and the reception banquet has been temporarily canceled, so please go back." ”
