The old man who was buried in the drawings didn't know that he was being longed for, and he didn't know that his image had been distorted into a scheming and scheming old monster. The old man has found his goal again, and he is very busy every day, but he can't take care of their intrigues.

In the blink of an eye, it was October, and after working hard for more than half a year, Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang finally brought the provincial family courtyard to the world. The annex was built behind the Rongguo Mansion, but because the Ronghou Mansion occupied a lot of land, Jia's mother and her family had to spend a lot of money to buy a piece of land, which was barely enough to meet the regulations of the concubine provincial palace.

For such a provincial hospital, not to mention Jia's mother's family, the Wang family is bankrupt, but it is not too much. Even, even Aunt Xue, mother and son, who lived in Rongguo Mansion, were cheated for many family backgrounds. It was easy to see that the garden was completed, and the three mothers and sons of the Xue family breathed a sigh of relief. Although this garden is surnamed Jia, it is at least half of his Xue family.

On this day, the eldest master was reviewing the list of drawings in the study, Lin Zhixiao came in with a request for instructions, and replied: "Master, the second master over there ordered someone to invite you, saying that the other courtyard has been almost built, please go over and have a look." In addition, I will bring some plaques today, please go and help check them. ”

Master Pardon has been so busy in the past few months that he hasn't been distracted at all to ask about the provincial relatives' courtyard, and when he heard that it has been built, he can't help but be stunned. Also, it's October, if it can't be built again, then it's still too late to welcome the concubine on the night of the Lantern Festival. In the "dream", the scene of others cooking and drinking, and the scene of him drinking cold wind outside, really made him remember it vividly.

"Let people talk to the second political officer, Lao Tzu is busy, and he has no time to hang around with him." The eldest man looked up with a dark face and replied, still buried in his work, but muttered, "The fart gatekeeper, I want to see Lao Tzu's jokes." I know that Lao Tzu doesn't understand the crooked sour poems, and I want to ask Lao Tzu to be embarrassed, he is so beautiful! ”

Lin Zhixiao agreed, smiled and exited the study. He knew that the old man would not give face to the second master. Isn't it just that there is a provincial concubine in the family, and now even a little subordinate dares to say strange things in front of him, the big housekeeper, which shows what kind of mentality the people next door have now.

However, from the master next door to the slave and maid, don't you know how to weigh your weight in the master's place? What kind of temper is he, master, I won't talk about it before, can't I see it in the last few years? Is that the one who can swallow his anger and give face to those who don't want to see him? The second master is too, no wonder he is still staying in the position of the fifth grade, so he will not look at Shangfeng's face, it is strange that he can rise up!

His sincere invitation was refused, but the second master of Zheng didn't get angry, but laughed very open-mindedly and tolerantly, and said helplessly: "That's it, since the eldest brother is busy, it's inconvenient to disturb, and when everything in this garden is taken care of, invite him to come over and take a look." Speaking of which, the eldest brother has not been to the morning court for a few days, and he can't see his shadow in the yamen, and he doesn't know what he's busy with. ”

After that, the second master led the Qingke in high spirits, and entered the courtyard with his son Baoyu, who was caught halfway. Not to mention pointing out the country along the way, he even let Baoyu chant poems against him, which was very popular. The second master looked at his son who was talking eloquently, although he was still reprimanded at every turn, but he didn't want to mention how satisfied he was.

Look, this is the son he taught, the poems and articles come as soon as he opens his mouth, and the literary style is suave, not to mention how good it is. Looking at his son now, Master Zhenger couldn't help but admire himself, but in just over half a year, he let his son be reborn. was originally a wicked obstacle who spent all day long throwing flowers and grass to beg for rouge to eat, but now he is a talented man who has become an export.

The second master is now only waiting for the concubine to save his relatives, so he plans to strictly supervise his son for a while, and let him take the examination next year. At the age of thirteen, he was a talent at the age of fifteen, and he was a scholar at the age of sixteen...... The son of his second master should follow this path.

A few days later, someone from Rongqingtang invited them, saying that the old lady invited the eldest couple to discuss matters, and even Wang Xifeng and Yingchun were invited. The old man frowned, and he could probably guess what was going on, it should be the day when the concubine returned to the province was set, and what kind of moth did Jia Shi's side come up with.

When the eldest master arrived at Rongqing Hall, Jia Mu looked at no one behind him, and her face was gloomy. Xing's hooves really dared to twist with her, since she said that she wouldn't let Xing's enter the door, how many years have passed, and that hoof really never came to the door again, even if she ordered someone to call it, she couldn't call it. Being a mother-in-law to do her job is really hot!

Mother Jia was angry in her heart, and she couldn't care about the calculations in her heart, so she scolded the eldest man with her head and face: "What about your daughter-in-law, what about the phoenix girl, welcoming the spring?" Didn't I deliberately explain and let them all come over, why didn't they see anyone? I haven't asked my mother-in-law, mother-in-law, and grandmother for a few years, a group of unfilial things, female virtues, and female fans have all read into the dog's belly, right? ”

Because of his busyness, Master Pardon is not in a good mood, and he has to deal with the here at this time, and his mood is even worse. Hearing Jia Shi's scolding, when he raised his eyes and glared at him, he said impatiently: "If the old lady has something, it's the same with me." What can they do if their women have long hair and short knowledge? Besides, didn't you say that you didn't allow Xing to enter the door again? Why, people are still guarding your word, but it has become a mistake? ”

The hair is long and the knowledge is short, and a few words poked at Jia's mother's heart fiercely, and the eyes staring at the eldest master are even colder. Don't think she can't hear it, this evil seed refers to Sang scolding Huai about her. But after a while, she also came back to her senses, and now she has something to ask for the head of the evil seed, and she must not delay the right thing in order to be angry.

"Good, good, good, your daughter-in-law is a good one, and no one else can hear it, so she regards my words as a treasure, and keeps those words as her filial daughter-in-law all day long. Ouch, my old woman is really blessed, there is such a filial daughter-in-law who takes my words as if she were a guide, and I don't know how many generations she has cultivated. And my granddaughter-in-law and granddaughter, you also taught me well, how many days have you not seen me once, is it possible that you also got such a sentence from me? ”

Even if she knew that she should endure it, Jia Mu couldn't do it, she was really angry, and she was still sneering when she opened her mouth.

When the old man heard this, he laughed, but he couldn't hear anything, and echoed: "The old lady is right, aren't you just very blessed." Besides, the Xing family is the daughter-in-law you personally selected, and I heard you praise her at the beginning, and she is half a mile stronger than the Zhou family selected by your grandmother. Now it seems that the old lady's vision is really good, not bad! ”

The corners of Jia Mu's mouth drooped, and her fingers clutched the crutches fiercely, she really wanted to knock down on the crutches! This evil seed is not open which pot to mention, it is precisely because the Xing family was personally picked by her that she will be even more angry now. If she had known that the hoof was so unfilial, she would have let her in. Hmph, sure enough, it came out of a small family, and it was not a system.

"That's it, let's not talk about these irrelevant things." Even if she was no longer happy in her heart, Mother Jia held her breath, changed the topic, and said with a soothing face: "Forgiveness, Fang Caizheng'er's excerpt has been approved, and the old saint and the saint have given permission, and our concubine Niangniang will return to the province on the night of the fifteenth Lantern Festival of the first month." This is a great joy for our entire Jia family, you see, what should we do next? ”

In her words, she repeatedly emphasized that the return of the concubine to the province is the glory of the entire Rongguo Mansion and even the entire Jia family, and the meaning is very clear. That is to remind Jia Yu that if this matter is a matter for the entire Jia family, if you want to get a little cheap, then you have to pay the price. When the courtyard was built, the big house was already a dime, and if the next thing to take over was like this, it would be impossible to say.

"How do I know what to do, hasn't it always been the second one who has been in charge of this? Didn't you let people say that the provincial garden has been built, so what else can't be done? Second child, it's not me who is the elder brother who said you, what you are most afraid of doing is to give up halfway, since you have already built the garden, why don't you stick to it to the end? Maybe it's because of this that you haven't been promoted for a long time, so take it as a warning, you know? Master Pardon didn't care about what he said, and later criticized Jia Zheng's life.

Jia Zheng was sitting on the side waiting for his mother to play, he was already anxious that his mother had not entered the topic, but now he was inexplicably reprimanded by Jia Yu, his face darkened, and said: "Big brother's words are very reasonable, perseverance, you and I should encourage each other." The old lady's words, I think she didn't make it clear, so that the eldest brother misunderstood. Although the provincial garden has been built, it is still a little empty now, and it needs some decoration and furnishings. Although some have been taken out of the public treasury, it is only a drop in the barrel. ”

"Oh, that's it." Master Pardon yawned and said casually: "If the furnishings are not enough, I will buy them." So the big garden has been built, and how much silver has been filled in, for the sake of not the face of the concubine. Since they have already invested so much, they can't give up halfway, and they can't let the concubine lose face. You can just do this by yourself, what else are you discussing with me? The second wife is not the housekeeper, just let her give out the money. ”

Mrs. Wang was looking at her nose and nose and plucking the rosary, and when she heard the words, she almost bit her tongue. This boss said it lightly, how can there be any silver in the account of Rongguo Mansion, but even next year's silver has been spent in advance. Not to mention the silver in the treasury, but her dowry and private money...... Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang couldn't care about the pain in her tongue and gritted her teeth.

Also, what did he mean by that, complaining that they were spending too much money? Her Yuanchun has added glory to the entire Jia family, but it is just to build a provincial garden, so can't she use the money in the library? It is said that Yuanchun has such a big income, and the uncle who has been stained with light should give her money to build a garden.

"Why didn't I send someone to buy it, but there were some good things, but they couldn't be bought outside." Seeing that her son was gagged, Mother Jia hurriedly took over and said, "Yu'er, I thought that you should have a lot of good things there, and didn't all the good things given by Mrs. Tai back then be left to you." Also, the old saints and the current saints have rewarded you with good things in recent years. ”

It turned out that the idea was put on Lao Tzu's inventory. The old sage and Yu Wenhu both knew that Jia Yu was interested in literary play, so they rewarded some every now and then, and the little things added up, and the big master's private treasury was quite considerable. At this time, Master Yu only looked at Jia Mu lightly and said nothing, and saw how she said it.

"When you built the garden, you didn't make any effort as an uncle, and you can't shrink anymore at this time. Ming'er will ask Zheng'er to go to your private treasury to take a look, and if there are those that can be used, they will lend them out first, how about it? You can rest assured that the things are still yours, and they will be returned to you as soon as the matter of saving relatives has passed. ”

When Jia Mu said this, she said, "It's not just you, it's the Lin family and the Shi family, I also sent someone to spread the word." ”
