――――――――――――――――――――

Wang Xifeng returned to Jia's mansion, first went to see Mrs. Jia, then went to Mrs. Xing's yard, and finally went back to the new house to freshen up accompanied by Ping'er.

Ping'er followed Wang Xifeng into the house and was about to get a change of clothes, but Wang Xifeng stopped her and ordered: "You go to the master's small study to see if there is any suitable brocade box for the picture scroll, pick a good one, and bring it to me." ”

Ping'er had seen Wang Xifeng come out of Daiyu Zhuangzi with a picture scroll before. Although I don't know what is painted in the scroll, whose scroll it is, at this time, I heard that Wang Xifeng wanted to find the brocade box, but I understood that it was to contain the painting brought out from Daiyu Zhuangzi. Ping'er didn't ask much, turned around and went to the small study to look for it.

When Jia Lian came back in the evening, Wang Xifeng talked about it, and learned Daiyu's words to Jia Lian again. Jia Lian asked in surprise, "Is that really the case?" Wang Xifeng smiled proudly and said: "My sister said so, I don't think it will be bad." Jia Lian frowned and pondered for a moment, then nodded with a smile and said, "Sure enough!" What a trick to draw salary! He laughed.

It turned out that Daiyu told Wang Xifeng: "My sister-in-law went back and told my brother to hold the troops first, and only let my brother and the old lady say that they were afraid that the autumn rain would not be conducive to the construction, but would delay the construction period, so it is better to take advantage of the good weather today to speed up the construction." ”

Wang Xifeng remembered that Daiyu smiled like a little fox at that time, and said: "In this way, all kinds of materials must be consumed faster than some time ago, so let my brother find my second aunt and ask for silver to purchase, but now the capital is building provincial villas, provincial villages, and provincial gardens, and the prices have risen a lot!" In this way, the second aunt will definitely reach out and ask Aunt Xue for silver. ”

Daiyu said again: "I remember that in terms of purchasing, letting my brother take care of Xue Pan can be regarded as a complete relative, but this matter must be done in a clear place, so that Aunt Xue and Sister Bao know, and it is good to remember my sister-in-law." If Sister Bao can wake up again, the mansion is called the General's Mansion! And the elder brother is the heir, and there is already Brother Chun below, if you think of a smart person like her, you will understand a lot! ”

Wang Xifeng was puzzled at first, could it be that he has lived in the mansion for several years, and it is not clear whether he lives in the general's mansion? Or is there anyone who doubts that this title will not be passed on to the lord, but to Baoyu? Wang Xifeng sneered in his heart.

It wasn't until he returned to the mansion that Wang Xifeng reacted, there are people from Mrs. Wang up and down in this mansion, who puts their big house in their eyes? Who cares that this is the General's Mansion and not the Guogong Mansion? Wang Xifeng thought of this, and only then did he secretly get anxious.

After bathing, Wang Xifeng finally figured out what Daiyu meant. Since you have forgotten, then I can remind you, such as Brother Chun, it's a good word!

Wang Xifeng still remembered that Daiyu had specially given her a picture scroll, saying that it was "Peony Autumn Rain", but Wang Xifeng unfolded it and saw it, where are there any peony flowers? It is just some ruined flowers and leaves, although there are new branches and young stamens, but in the end they are swaying in the rain, and they have lost the luxury of Kao. And on the scroll, there is no inscription at all!

When Wang Xifeng told Jia Lian about this confusion, Jia Lian was about to come to the picture scroll, and the flowers and leaves had already fallen in the wind and rain, and only a new branch emerged from the dead leaves, with a small flower bud on it, and I didn't know if it could grow in the rain.

Daiyu didn't expect this painting to come in handy before, but a few months ago in the back mountain of Zhuangzi saw such a cluster of wild peony flowers, although the flowers are not as delicate as the quiet cultivation, but more full of vitality, Daiyu felt in her heart, so she painted it. Now it has become a prop for Xue Baochai to remind.

After Jia Lian saw it, he was also puzzled, so he put away the scroll and said: "Give me this painting first, I'll ask Mr. Huang or the master, maybe they can see something." ”

Hearing Jia Lian say this, Wang Xifeng was surprised: "Master can't even see it? Jia Lian smiled and said: "Sister Yu'er, you are smarter than me when you are a child, and you have some quirky ideas, where is it so easy to guess?" It was when my uncle was alive......"

Speaking of this, Jia Lian suddenly paused, and the look on his face also dimmed by two points, Wang Xifeng knew that he was always sad when he thought of Lin Ruhai, so he didn't bother, and only quietly held Jia Lian's hand.

Jia Lian looked at the Qianqianyu hand held on the back of his hand, couldn't help but show a smile, looked at Wang Xifeng, and then took a deep breath and said: "When I was in Yangzhou, there were many things, even my uncle and Mr. Huang thought about it for a long time before they guessed. Where can I compare my uncle and Mr. Huang now? ”

After Jia Lian finished speaking, he put away the scroll and smiled at Wang Xifeng: "Ming'er, I'll take it to Mr. Huang, if Mr. Huang can't guess it, ...... can't guess" Speaking of this, Jia Lian frowned before continuing: "Let's do what my sister says, after all, my sister will not harm us." If it happens, it can be regarded as a help to the Xue family, if it doesn't work, it doesn't matter. Anyway, let's just think it's Jiang Taigong fishing. ”

After hearing this, Wang Xifeng nodded with a smile and said, "Since the master said so, I will take Brother Chun around tomorrow." In Jean Yingya invited the sisters to gather. Jia Lian looked at Wang Xifeng's bright eyes, nodded with a smile and turned around and walked out of the room.

On the second day, Jia Lian really urged the craftsmen to speed up the progress, and even in order to save time, he also asked the big kitchen to prepare lunch for the craftsmen. It's not much, but everyone can drink a small bowl.

After Mrs. Wang found out, she didn't wait for Jia Lian to find her, so she was very dissatisfied and told Jia Lian to Mrs. Jia, and Mrs. Jia immediately sent someone to call Jia Lian over.

After seeing Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang, Jia Lian saluted respectfully, and then didn't wait for Mrs. Jia or Mrs. Wang to ask, so she asked first: "I don't know what happened to the ancestor calling his grandson over?" At this time, the garden is busy, and the grandson has to guard where. ”

Old Madam Jia looked at Jia Lian's attitude and nodded, and was about to speak, when Mrs. Wang asked in a cold voice with a calm face: "I heard that you sent food and sweet soup to those craftsmen, but is there such a thing?" ”

Jia Lian was overjoyed in his heart, but his face was stunned, he looked up at Mrs. Jia, and then bowed down to Mrs. Wang and replied, "Aunt Hui's words are such a thing." After speaking, without waiting for Mrs. Wang to speak, she continued to explain: "It is now the end of June, and it will be autumn in only two or three months, and I am afraid that there will be too much rain and affect the process." ”

Mrs. Wang snorted coldly and said, "If you let the craftsmen grasp it like this, is it possible that these craftsmen are still disobedient to discipline?" ”

Jia Lian sneered in his heart when he heard this, but his face was difficult, and he turned to look at Mrs. Jia. Mrs. Jia was already dissatisfied because Mrs. Wang asked first, but when she saw Jia Lian looking at her, she didn't speak, but only looked at Jia Lian.

Jia Lian bowed down to Mrs. Jia and said aggrievedly: "If it is hot today, especially in the afternoon, if the garden in this province has not been built, what happens, I am afraid that the saint will also blame us, and it is just some coarse tea and light rice, and it is not worth a few silver, wouldn't it be a good thing if you can win a good name for your mother?" Our mother is named 'virtuous concubine'! ”

After listening to Jia Lian's words, Mrs. Jia nodded with satisfaction and said: "This is true, people like us don't have to care about those little money, they seem to be petty." ”

In fact, when Jia Lian said just now that Yuan Chun was awarded the title of "Virtuous Concubine", Mrs. Wang was already in her heart, and she regretted Jia Lian's recent attack, after all, it seems that this Jia Lian is still thinking about Yuan Chun everywhere.

But Mrs. Jia's sentence of "small family spirit" made Mrs. Wang uncomfortable, and said in her heart: My Wang family, how can I be that little family? I don't know how much better than your strong historian! Mrs. Wang, who was uneasy in her heart, continued to attack Jia Lian and said: "Since you have given food, why do you want to send sweet soup again?" ”

Jia Lian wanted to roll her eyes at Mrs. Wang, but in the end, she endured it, and Mrs. Jia couldn't help frowning secretly when she looked at Mrs. Wang.

Jia Lian still said respectfully: "The weather is hot, if the craftsmen are suffering from heat stroke, I am afraid that they will not be able to start work on time, it is better to give up some sweet soup to relieve the heat with them." That mung bean soup is a good thing to relieve the heat. With a little sugar, the craftsmen are grateful to Dade and work harder, so that our family can be completed before other homes. ”

Hearing Jia Lian say that other homes could be completed first, Mrs. Wang's eyes lit up and asked, "When will it be completed?" ”

Jia Lian said secretly: It's coming! He also smiled and said: "At today's speed, I'm afraid it's around the Mid-Autumn Festival, and we can do interior decoration." Not to mention that Mrs. Wang was excited when she heard this, even Mrs. Jia couldn't stop laughing and said, "Okay, good, good!" After saying that, he glanced at Mrs. Wang and smiled at Jia Lian: "Lian'er did a good job!" Go back and let your Lao Tzu reward you! ”

When Jia Lian heard this, he first looked happy, and then said with a sad face: "It's that there are not many stones and wood now, and when we run out, we will purchase them, firstly, I am afraid that we will not be able to keep up with the progress of craftsmen, and secondly, I am afraid that someone will make things difficult for us." Saying that, Jia Lian raised his eyes and looked at Mrs. Wang and said, "After all, we are not the only one who is in the province of Jianyuan. ”

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang immediately reprimanded: "You don't know how to purchase it first? Where is the time to run out and let the craftsman wait for the material? ”

Jia Lian was embarrassed and said: "But the silver that my aunt gave last time is long gone, and now we still have credit in our house, and they let us settle the account before giving the goods." As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Wang's face immediately changed!

Mrs. Wang thought for a long time before nodding and said, "Let the account clerk calculate how much silver you owe, and you can come to me to withdraw it when you come back." Niangniang's provincial garden must be built, and there must be no sloppiness! In this way, Jia Lian nodded and said with a smile: "If your aunt's words have become, my nephew will personally send the account book to my aunt." ”

Mrs. Wang didn't know that because Jia Mansion was Mrs. Wang's housekeeper, the account books in the house still used the old method of bookkeeping, this method of exploiting loopholes, Jia Lian had seen a lot in the Internal Affairs Office and the household department back then, and there were all kinds of tricks, and it was really easy to fool Mrs. Wang!
