Chapter 109: Filling
Jia Yu sold his antiques for 50,000 taels of silver, and wanted the old lady to see it so that he could fill one or two, but this reached the ears of Mrs. Wang, who was worried that she was going to give 50,000 taels and had a headache.
Jia Yu didn't dare to question the old lady, so he only vented his anger on Chen, who hated it deeply, but he was helpless, and the rift between husband and wife deepened.
Now that the silver has been collected, the Rongguo Mansion has begun to work, because it is connected to the land behind the Ningguo Mansion in Huifang Garden, and the noise is endless, Jia Lu's Yuanzhong Garden is just in the Huifang Garden, and the study is also included in the provincial villa, which is deeply disturbed.
Jia Jing was distressed, so he let Jia Lu out of the courtyard and settled in a secluded courtyard in the northeast corner, with her gentlemen, this place is far from Rongguo Mansion, but it is quiet and comfortable.
On the side of Rongguo Mansion, I originally wanted to let Premier Jia Lian take care of the external affairs, Wang Xifeng would manage the internal affairs, and then Mr. Shan Yezi would manage it as a whole.
Who knows, Jia Lian was appointed as the head of the Ministry of Officials Examination and Clearing Officials, although it is the sixth grade, which is two levels lower than the same knowledge of the positive five products donated by himself, but it is a real shortage, and it is even more rare to work in the Examination and Clearing Officials Division, and it is rare to have a fat position.
With this position, where will he still do things at home, besides, not long after the new emperor ascended the throne, there were many changes in official positions, and the work of the ministry was also busy, so he went to the ministry immediately.
Because it is a serious job and a promising job, the family was shocked, and everyone thought that Jia Lian was appointed after the eldest girl was named Niangniang, and it must be because of the grace of the mother, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were even more sought after.
Only Mrs. Wang was not very satisfied, her daughter's grace was not left to Baoyu, but to Jia Lian, a kid, looking at the ignorant Baoyu, she could only sigh and regret, Baoyu was still young, and she did not enter the office, even if she had grace, she could not reach him, and regretted that her eldest son Jia Zhu died early.
Even Jia's mother and Jia Zheng are not very satisfied, since this Yuanchun has been favored, why don't you bring her old father with her?
It's just that these three people, one is a living bodhisattva, one is a kind old grandmother, and the other is a dignified gentleman, but they are dissatisfied in their hearts, and they have no choice but to let him go.
Everyone said that it was the grace of the mother, even Wang Xifeng thought so, she had always been close to the powerful, and when she saw her aunt so beautiful, she also came up.
Only Jia Lian knew that it was Lin Ruhai's legacy, and he knew the virtues of everyone in Jiafu, if he knew that it was Uncle Lin's ability, and then he would come to trouble Sister Lin again, wouldn't it be a violation of his oath to take good care of Sister Lin? So, he didn't say a word, and let others guess.
Leaving Jia Lian here, Wang Xifeng is the only one left, even if Wang Xifeng is an iron-beaten person, he can't stand it, and he has been taking care of it for three or five days, and his face is not good, which is obvious to everyone.
Jia's mother has always loved her, so she naturally saw it, and called Jia Lian over and scolded her, even if she became an official, she didn't treat him for not paying attention to her daughter-in-law like this, even Ping'er and others were also scolded, and even her own master couldn't see the use of it!
forced Wang Xifeng to rest for two days.
But the matter of the provincial villa cannot be delayed, Jia Mu originally thought that the Chen family was young and had good physical strength, so she would lead it, and thought that several of her own masters were not popular, so she wanted to let Brother Zhen in the next house help one or two.
But Mrs. Wang is not at ease, saying that this Chen family has a good character, but in the end, it is from a small family, no more than Wang Xifeng is accustomed to seeing money, this construction of a provincial villa, the silver money in his hand every day flows like water, up and down ten thousand taels a day, if he is tempted for a while, how can it be good?
This is the dignity of her girl, but she can't delay it at will, so she recommended herself as a director, and Chen is disgusted with this thankless job, so she happened to get rid of it.
But this Mrs. Wang is used to being a benevolent bodhisattva, and the maids and daughters-in-law cry a little poorer, and Mrs. Wang's money doubles and flows out, and half of the six or seven hundred thousand silver taels are spent. Mrs. Wang couldn't see it, so she could only pull Wang Xifeng over again.
Although Wang Xifeng tried his best to turn the tide, in the end, the previous cost was too much, Jia Zhen was not very innocent, he had 10,000 taels, he always had to pay hundreds of 1,000 taels, he was an outsider, it was impossible for him to give out the money, so he only reached out and asked for money.
In order to be compassionate, Mrs. Wang spent a lot of money before, and when she got to the back, she didn't pick it up.
Mrs. Wang had no choice but to secretly fill in her own private room, and asked Aunt Xue for 100,000 taels at the beginning, but now she can only borrow another 100,000 taels cheekily, but fortunately, after Aunt Xue lost the opportunity to enter the palace since Baochai, she was bent on marrying Baochai to Baoyu, plus Yuan Chun sealed the mother, and the power was even greater, so she should go down.
It was Wang Xifeng, in order to please her aunt, she also saved 10,000 taels of silver, she was a junior, and Mrs. Wang didn't dare to ask for more for the sake of face.
In this way, the east made up for the west, and finally got the thing done.
On this day, in winter, the construction of the provincial villa is almost completed, and it is almost the end of the year, because the New Year will welcome the mother back to the house, I am afraid that the year will not be good for a while, and another is to thank the clansmen for their help in building the provincial villa, so they put the wine and invite the clansmen to come over for a banquet.
Unfortunately, Jia Lu ate too much the night before, and accumulated food for a while, and was a little uncomfortable the next day, everyone in Ningfu was worried, and invited the imperial doctor to come over and prescribe medicine, so they were not interested in attending the banquet, and this time was not as good as the previous Jia Zheng's birthday banquet, there were many clansmen and relatives and friends, it was too lively, and it was not for them to go to a family like filial piety, so the people in Ningfu refused.
It just so happened that because of the need to clean and tidy up the provincial villa, a family like Rongguo Mansion with a big business was also short of manpower, so he came over and asked some servants of Ning Guofu for many years to help with one or two.
Jia Lu thought that Jiao Qian and Mo Dye and four second-class little maids had been with her, and they had never gone out to play, they were young and curious to listen to, so she let them go over to play.
Jiao Qian is old, and she doesn't go over, the ink dye was originally in the old lady's house in Rongguo Mansion, and then Jia Lu didn't live in Rongguo Mansion permanently, so she followed, her old son and good sisters are all in the mansion over there, so naturally there is nothing that should not be done.
As for the four second-class little maids, they are peaches, oranges, oranges, and pears.
The peach supervisor eats the decoction and medicine, and follows Mama Sun and Mama Zhao to do things, the orange is in charge of the needlework and thread brain such as clothes and handkerchiefs, and the needlework is the best, and the orange is in charge of the jewelry monthly, and follows Mama Li to do things, and the pear goes out to investigate, loves to laugh and make trouble, because she often helps the girl go out to buy things, and has a good relationship with Mama Qian, she is outstanding.
These people were selected in the thirty-ninth year of Kangsheng when Han was worried about Jia Lu, so after two years of training, Han went, Jia Jing was worried that Jia Lu had no one to take care of, so he brought these people up in advance, and now they are only ten years old, about the same age as Jia Lu, although they are smart, they are younger in the end, so lively, and they are happy to respond.
