Chapter 171
Not to mention the personal guards trained by Xia Liansheng for the emperor in Dali, Zhang Xuan has come to the capital from Yunnan for the third time this year, as low-key as the previous two times, Zhang Xuan asked people to press the convoy and go slowly, and he rode to Prince Yi's mansion alone.

In the past two years, the horse-drawn carriage designed by Liansheng has begun to gradually flow into the people from the Ministry of Industry, although the high cost is scary, but considering the situation that the speed can be accelerated, many people in order to save time, what is the money, one by one to pay for the positive, and even people who have a way to book from the Ministry of Industry to ask for a relationship, to increase the waiting period and long, but did not discourage their enthusiasm at all, one by one is more eager to add money in order to urge the construction period, but in the end these silver have filled the emperor's private treasury.
The team led by Zhang Xuan was a convoy of these carriages, all of which were large goods, polished marble, delicate camellias, and shiny silver ornaments full of different styles...... Every cart was well wrapped and protected, and the people who pressed the cart did not walk fast after entering the city, and received a lot of attention, until a few people rode over and said a few words to him, and then the convoy walked towards the most famous street in the capital. After the convoy entered the street lined with shops, they went to different shops, and those who followed them immediately went to the housekeepers of some of the houses to ask for credit.
"Big butler, there is a new shop again, and it's on the most famous street!"
Similar reports echoed in different mansions in the capital, and the only thing that might be the same was that they all had a harem concubine.
Among them, Nian Qianyao is the most exaggerated, he moved to his father's house with his family in the name of visiting relatives, and took out the entire general's mansion in Beijing to rebuild, in fact, the Nian family has not been separated, but at the beginning the emperor gave him the general's mansion, it is not good not to live, this time it happened to be used by his sister to build a palace. And no matter how others persuade him, he insists that he must buy the best materials and the best decorations, of course the housekeeper of the General's Mansion will send someone to be stationed in the shop street to inquire about the news, their young family, must be the best thing!
And Nian Qianyao has the same idea of the right Mrs. Wang, and Nian Qianyao has the confidence to support his sister's palace is different, the Jia family began to decline when Jia Daishan died, although Mrs. Wang married into the Jia family for many years, in the past few years has been Jia Yu's original wife in charge of the house, and later after his original wife went, Jia's mother took the opportunity to take the key to the big treasury, Mrs. Wang later took charge of the family for many years, has always been a housekeeper and lady. Later, after the Jia family separated, Jia's mother pinched her property tightly, but Jia's mother, who could hold the key tightly, could not compete with the increase in age, and she gradually began to feel weak, but even so, Mrs. Wang did not get much benefit. Since Jia Yuanchun entered the palace, Mrs. Wang has been in a state of making ends meet, fortunately, Mrs. Wang still has a rich dowry to support her, otherwise Yuanchun has no money to work in the palace, and it will definitely be even more miserable.
But Mrs. Wang now feels that she has raised her eyebrows, and her daughter has been made a concubine! is still a virtuous concubine, isn't the emperor just praising his daughter for being virtuous and virtuous? Besides, this emperor's harem is different from the emperor, so there are few concubines, how can you not show off such a big glory? So Mrs. Wang sent a letter to her brother, and then used her mother's mother to help her persuade Jia Zhen to subsidize 50,000 taels in the end, so she carved out a piece of land from him, and together with the yard on Jia Yu's side, it became a large homestead, and then it was built in a hot way. During the period, I don't know how many big and small stewards went to Mrs. Wang to give gifts to open up the joints in order to get an errand, Mrs. Wang is not easy to fool, now that she has divided the family, the money in the account is hers, and she feels the virtues of these stewards clearly, and she usually uses them to fight with the old lady, and it is just a matter of giving some small favors, this garden is built with the face of her daughter! Mrs. Wang's death attribute was accidentally stimulated, she didn't consider the person who gave the gift at all, and only chose the loyal and honest steward to manage things, and for a while, the steward who had a little brain scolded behind her back. But scolding and scolding, you have to beg for work with a shy face, don't you? Mrs. Wang doesn't give them work to do, and she subcontracts another layer by herself, so it's a big deal to make less money, and those stewards are still active.
There is a steward in Jiafu who is in charge of purchasing, and he also specially sent people to guard the famous shops in Beijing, this time as soon as these shops are new, the news is also immediately transmitted back to Rongguo Mansion, and Mrs. Wang, who heard the price, flipped through the account book and had a headache. It really costs money to build a garden, and if it goes on like this, the original estimate of 100,000 taels of silver is not enough at all! Mrs. Wang sat in the council hall and was worried, and suddenly her eyes looked in the direction of Rongqing Hall......
Rongqing Hall is very lively today, because of Jia's mother's thoughts, Shi Xiangyun, who was supposed to follow the third uncle of the Shi family, was left to Jia's mother to take care of, Shi Xiangyun was very excited, she thought that this was her uncle's compromise with the old lady, the old lady had always intended to compensate her to Baoyu She knows, but the third uncle was always unhappy that she lived in Jia's house before, and this time I didn't know what my aunt said to the third uncle, it didn't take long for the third uncle's promotion order to come down, but it was in other provinces, Shi Xiangyun didn't have time to be sad, was told by the third aunt that she could choose to follow her or stay here. The fool was about to leave, Shi Xiangyun hurriedly asked someone to pack another luggage for him, and was soon picked up by his aunt and grandmother.
As everyone knows, Aunt Shi is also rejoicing, fortunately Shi Xiangyun is unwilling to follow, otherwise she really doesn't know what to do.
Shi Xiangyun's parents went early since he was a child, when the emperor was still the emperor, remembering the exploits of his second uncle, the emperor actually called them a double marquis of the Shi family, of course, the third son of the Shi family who inherited the inheritance of Shi Xiangyun's father's Baoling Hou became the new Baoling Hou, and also took over Shi Xiangyun's maintenance by the way.
Third Uncle Shi always thought, anyway, Shi Xiangyun is a daughter, she is well-educated, and marrying in the future is also a help, Shi Xiangyun has been raised with the biological daughter of Uncle Shi who is about the same age as her since she was a child, and she was quite well-behaved and sensible at the beginning, who knows that people are not as good as heaven. Shi Xiangyun inadvertently went to Jiafu, stayed for a few days, and when he came back, he learned a series of brainless turtle behaviors with a lot of eyes and masters.
Uncle Shi was so angry when he found out, he didn't send Shi Xiangyun over if he knew it, I heard that the old lady of the Jia family was the most kind, kind-hearted and good at regulating people, just look at Yuanchun, who knew that Shi Xiangyun had become a-stirring stick? Uncle Shi asked Aunt Shi to be strict with Xiangyun, and by the way, he asked him to do more needleboard, but when he turned his head, Shi Xiangyun took it to Jiafu and said that his mouth was miserable, and his reputation was almost stinky! Coupled with the thing that the Shi family did some time ago, their Shi family was almost on the royal blacklist, and the third uncle Shi was active for an unknown amount of time, and finally saved the family, but he also had to go to the field to serve.
