Chapter 277: Black belly

Lai Sheng seemed very busy, and even his footsteps into the study were windy.

"Second master, are you looking for me?"

"Everything is done outside?"

Lai Sheng replied: "Not yet, now that our family has a mother-in-law, there are many places to move in the house, but no matter how busy it is, it can't compare to the house over there, my eldest brother and sister-in-law are busy today and their feet don't touch the ground, so it's not proper, so I just sent someone over to let my mother-in-law go over to help......

"I don't care about these things. Let me ask you, do we have a lot of high-quality wood on our Zhuangzi? Jia Qingdao.

"If you have high-quality wood, we don't have too many ...... on our village."

Seeing Jia Qing frowning, Lai Sheng said again: "Because our family does not have many Zhuangzi in Beijing, and almost all of them are granges, there is not much wood. However, if you count the Zhuangzi in the south, it is more.

The Zhuangzi in the south are all left by the grandfather, and there are several fertile fields with more than 10,000 yuan, and the mountains and forests are even more vast, and there are many high-quality timber in the Zhuangzi. ”

Jia Qing muttered, "South......"

Seeing that Jia Qing was too far away, Lai Sheng said: "The second master is prepared for the young grandmother to tidy up the garden, and it won't take much to think about it, so it should be enough for us to go up to the nearby Zhuangzi to find it."

I really can't do it, just spend some money to buy it. ”

Jia Qing was noncommittal, and asked: "Then do you know what good merchants are made of stone in Beijing?" ”

"Stone? By the way, if you remember well, the Xue family seems to have been in the stone business first, and when the old lady of the Xue family was there, she specially provided the palace with stones for building the palace.

Although I haven't heard much about it over the years, even if I don't do it, the way must be extremely wide. Why didn't the second master ask Aunt Xue? ”

"Is the Xue family ......?"

Of course, Jia Qing was not planning for Qin Keqing, or not just.

He's preparing for the construction of the Grand View Garden!

It stands to reason that Yuan Chun is a person from Rongguo Mansion, even if he builds the Grand View Garden, it should be mainly Jia Zheng and Jia Yu to worry about, he can at most be an assistant and give some money.

However, Jia Qing discovered a problem early in the morning.

That is, does Rongguo Mansion still have enough money to build the Grand View Garden, let alone the massive amount of silver that Yuanchun Province will spend after it is built!

Due to the small wings of the butterfly, the day when Yuan Chun chose the Fengzao Palace was about a year earlier than in the original book.

Therefore, Lin Ruhai is not dead, and Jia Lian has not yet dealt with the aftermath for the Lin family.

It's not that Jia Qing is sure that in the original book, Rongguofu took Lin Ruhai's family property to build a magnificent Grand View Garden. It is because Jia Qing has a clear understanding of Ning Guofu's treasury since he took over Ning Guofu.

A huge mansion, equivalent to gold, has less than 200,000 taels of silver in storage!

You must know that Jia Zhen, a loser, has no chance to squander the treasury silver in this life, that is to say, the treasury silver of the original Lining Mansion should be less!

And the Rongguo Mansion, which has a huge expense, has not reduced any expenditure because of Jia Qing's existence, there are more losers over there, and if you think about it, there is not much more treasury silver?

In this way, how to maintain the huge cost of building the Grand View Garden and later saving relatives?

Jia Qing estimated that the cost of building a Grand View Garden alone would exceed 200,000 taels! Not to mention that there are greedy slaves like the Lai brothers in the middle......

In this way, the money is definitely not enough. But I haven't heard that the Jia family and the hugely rich Xue family borrowed silver!

Therefore, although it is not necessarily as some people say, Jiafu is greedy for Lin Ruhai's millions of family properties, but there must be some.

Because, since Lin Ruhai entrusted his only daughter to the Jia family, it must be natural to give some family property!

At least, most of Lin Ruhai's own family property should be transferred to Rongguo Mansion.

After all, he has no one else to give.

Is it despicable?

Jia Qing didn't particularly think so. He has never judged himself by the standards of a saint, and naturally he will not judge others by this. In that case, Rongguo Mansion used the raising money given by Lin Daiyu's father, which is really normal!

I changed to other mansions, and it was probably the same.

Fortunately, Mother Jia really loves her granddaughter! Even if there is a shame in it, it can be regarded as a human touch!

After all, even if Daiyu holds such a large amount of family property, it is useless.

It can be assumed that if Lin Daiyu did not die of illness, Jiafu would not be defeated. Whether the Jia family gives her to Baoyu or arranges another marriage, it shouldn't be a problem, and it can be regarded as the obligation to raise Daiyu!

The only thing that makes people feel a little disgraceful is that Jia Mansion probably didn't tell Lin Daiyu about this matter. This may also aggravate the feeling of Daiyu sending people under the fence of the glass heart.

On the other hand, standing on Jia's mother's side, there may be considerations such as "Daiyu is still young, and not telling her these bad things is also a kind of love", "Let people know that the construction of the villa of the concubine embezzled Daiyu's raising money, so the reputation is not good" and so on!

All in all, there are basically no traitors, despicable and shameless people in the Red Mansion, so the Red Mansion will seem bland. If you want to say that there is, maybe Jia Yu Village will occupy a place!

Having said so much, I want to explain that Rongguo Mansion should not have enough silver, and it is impossible to sell property to save relatives, and it is even worse to say it.

Therefore, if it is handed over to the Prime Minister of Rongguofu, it may not be possible to build the Grand View Garden so well!

But Jia Qing didn't want to do that. It's hard to come to this world for a walk, but to see a second-class garden?

Therefore, even if you spend more money and foreign things, you must not build the Grand View Garden badly!

However, if he gave out most of the silver, but let Rongguo Mansion preside, it would be too embarrassing! Therefore, Jia Qing is preparing now, just waiting for the will of the provincial relatives to come down and take over the responsibility of construction.

This should not be too difficult. Among the men in Rongguo Mansion, there are no capable people!

That's why he wanted stone and wood.

After Lai Sheng left, Jia Qing ordered Wang Shun to call Jia Yun, Leng Zixing, Zhao Sheng, and Ni Er, who had not been in Beijing for a short time.

Subsequently, he left Ningguo Mansion and went to Rongguo Mansion.

Then I didn't stop, and went straight to Ixiangin.

Hearing that he was coming, Aunt Xue was very enthusiastic, took his hand and said, "Good boy, Aunt still thinks that you will never come to me again in the future." ”

Jia Qing said with a smile: "Where did my aunt say, I don't know how much my aunt loves me, how can I not come!"

These days, because I have just entered the court as an official, I am not familiar with everything, there are too many places to learn, and the little nephew is young, and he has long been busy and faint, so he has lost his manners, and it is good that my aunt should not be guilty! ”

Aunt Xue said: "No sin, no sin, it's too late for me to be happy that you can come to see me." Sit on the kang quickly, and warm it on the kang. ”

As he spoke, he pulled Jia Qing to sit on the edge of the kang.

Jia Qing couldn't, so he had to sit. Aunt Xue let go of Jia Qing at this time, and ordered Tongxi to pour tea, and then sat down next to Jia Qing, holding his hand and asking long and short questions.

Jia Qing was helpless, the favor of the elders was really hard to shirk, and it was difficult to say anything if he came to ask for advice.

He knew that Aunt Xue had remembered Jia Qing's favor again for the last time. She knew that the reason why Du Feng didn't sue Xue Pan after waking up was because of Lai Jiaqing's appeasement.

For this reason, she also specially sent two thousand taels of silver over, saying that it was compensation for Du Feng!

Jia Qing unceremoniously accepted it for Du Feng.

Speaking of which, Xue Pan is still in his hands, but Jia Qing asked someone to go to Lixiangyuan every few days to "report safety", Aunt Xue still doesn't know Xue Pan's situation, she only thinks that he is greedy for the scenery outside, and he has to play for a few more days before coming back.

In this way, Jia Qing felt that he was a little too dark.

However, he quickly skipped this layer and answered Aunt Xue's questions one by one.
