――――――――――――――――

Jia Lian came out of Mrs. Jia's house, and went back to the Xindong compound that had just been built, this courtyard is not as good as before, the stable was demolished, and it was built next to the corner gate in the west. Walking inside is Mrs. Xing's inner courtyard, and Jia Lian and his wife live behind Mrs. Xing.

Yingchun was about to get married, so he went back to Mrs. Jia's yard, after all, Mrs. Jia was personally raised, and it was much more decent. Even if Jiafu is not the Guogong Mansion now, Mrs. Jia is still the Duchess of the Kingdom.

As we all know, Jia Min, the first talented woman of the year, and Yuanchun, the current virtuous concubine, were both raised by Mrs. Jia herself. Mrs. Xing is only a much lower status in her own family, and seeing that Mrs. Jia is willing to raise and welcome the Spring Festival, she is also willing to do so. Because of the rush to embroider the wedding dress, Yingchun has rarely gone out since she moved back to Mrs. Jia's yard.

Mrs. Xing's yard now only lives with Brother Cong and his mother. Mrs. Xing didn't care about it either, and even let Brother Cong take Brother Chun to play together.

Jia Lian's study was in his small courtyard, but Wang Xifeng was not there at this time. Jia Lian casually stopped the sprinkler and asked, "Do you know when grandma went out?" Where did it go? The maid replied: "Grandma hugged Brother Chun early in the morning, and took Sister Ping'er to see Aunt Xue. ”

As soon as Jia Lian heard this, he smiled knowingly, waved his hand and sent the maid down, and then entered the study alone, and lunch was also used in the study.

Wang Xifeng was actually left by Aunt Xue, and she didn't come back for lunch. Aunt Xue looked at the tiger-headed Brother Chun, not to mention how happy she was, and praised her vigorously.

Wang Xifeng smiled when he saw this: "Auntie, don't praise him, our lord said, the house is not as good as before, boys should be beaten and beaten, and they must not be pampered and less manly, otherwise how can they stand in the door?" In the future, he will attack the general. ”

Aunt Xue also heard the meaning of Wang Xifeng's words, and said vigorously: "How can you be beaten, you are such a lone seedling now, you have to take care of it!" As he spoke, he also held Brother Chun in his arms and rubbed it for a while.

But Baochai listened to Wang Xifeng's words, but he started to think. but not on the face. After Wang Xifeng's mother and son left after lunch in Aunt Xue's courtyard, Baochai frowned, sat under the window, and thought about something while doing needlework.

Wang Xifeng returned to the East Compound, first went to Mrs. Xing's house, and after a few words of laughter with Mrs. Xing, he learned that Jia Lian was back, so he went back to his own courtyard behind. But when he heard that Jia Lian had just gone out, Wang Xifeng couldn't help frowning, but he didn't care too much.

Early in the morning of the second day, Wang Xifeng made an appointment to visit the spring, cherish the spring and Baochai together, and went to the Yingchun house to see the wedding dress, in front of the three of them, Wang Xifeng took the wedding dress and said to Yingchun: "You should add more gold and silver threads, if it is not enough, ask me to get it, you are the eldest daughter of the first prize army!" You can't fall into the name! ”

After Wang Xifeng said this, he didn't care what kind of look he had on his face, he only quietly looked at Baochai, and saw that Baochai's expression really changed, although he quickly covered up the past, he was still looked at by Wang Xifeng.

Laugh a few words with Yingchun, and let Si Qi go to his house to get the gold and silver thread, and then left with Tanchun Xichun and Baochai, when they separated, Wang Xifeng pretended to remember, and smiled at Xichun: "Seeing that it's almost lunch, it's better to go to my house, just when Lin Yatou asked me to bring a picture scroll to Xichun, I forgot to bring it to you." ”

As soon as Xichun heard that it was Daiyu who brought it to her, her eyes lit up and asked, "When did Sister Lin ask her sister-in-law to bring it?" Wang Xifeng thought for a while and said with a smile: "Your brother got a Shoushan stone before, and I wanted me to send it to her, and when I came back, she asked me to bring you a painting, saying that it was for you to look at and help mention a word or something, I forgot it." ”

In this way, Baochai and Tanchun followed Xichun to Wang Xifeng's courtyard together. Wang Xifeng ordered Ping'er to take out the brocade box, handed it to Xichun and said: "I can't understand these, you can put it away, go back and read it slowly." As he spoke, he asked Ping'er to pass the meal, and asked him to go to Aunt Xue's yard to say goodbye, and Baochai was eating here.

After Ping'er left, Wang Xifeng said to Sanchun and the others: "You sit and play by yourself, I'll go change my clothes and come, it's hot." With that, Wang Xifeng turned around and entered the inner room.

Xichun couldn't help but open the brocade box to take out the picture scroll, and for a while Tanchun and Baochai also came around, only to see a cluster of peony flowers under a dead tree on the picture, but the branches and leaves were scattered under the rain, and the flowers withered. Only a new branch stretches out at the corner, two green leaves, and a young stamen.

Daiyu adheres to the idea of realistic oil painting, and uses the Chinese painting brush technique to depict a good trace of dead branches and leaves on the rice paper, which looks vivid, especially the tender stamen is even more on the paper, seeing Tanchun frowning, cherishing the spring's eyes shining, only Xue Baochai looked at this painting in a daze.

Xue Baochai couldn't help but think of himself, isn't it the peony flower in the wind and rain? Will this Jiafu be able to shelter itself from the wind and rain, or will it let the branches and flowers fall like a dead tree in a painting?

When Wang Xifeng came out, he naturally saw the unnatural look on Baochai's face, but he didn't break it.

Although the three of them had their own thoughts at this time, they still accompanied Wang Xifeng to have lunch before saying goodbye and leaving.

Not long after the three of them left, Jia Lian entered the courtyard with a happy face. Wang Xifeng greeted him with a smile and asked, "Why are you so happy?" Jia Lian didn't speak, only pulled Wang Xifeng into the house, and sent Ping'er out.

Wang Xifeng couldn't help but be even more curious when he saw him so mysterious, and as soon as Ping'er went out, he hurriedly said: "Ye said, it's not the master's temperament to hide it like this!" Jia Lian didn't answer, smiled and took out two silver tickets from his sleeve cage and gave them to her.

Wang Xifeng took it and took a look, two silver tickets of 10,000 taels! Wang Xifeng couldn't help but ask urgently: "Where did you come from?" In fact, Wang Xifeng had a guess in his heart, but he didn't expect Jia Lian to move so fast, and he couldn't help but feel very unreal.

Jia Lian glanced at her with a smile and said, "That's what you think!" Didn't you give me the words you handed me before? When Wang Xifeng heard this, he hurriedly asked, "How did you do it?" Seeing Wang Xifeng like this, Jia Lian couldn't help but feel proud in his heart, so he told her in detail when he sent the account book to Mrs. Wang today.

It turned out that Jia Lian had already finished the account books yesterday, and went to the stone shop and wood merchant outside to confirm everything, and only then did he take the account books to the Rongxi Hall where Mrs. Wang was located early this morning.

When Mrs. Wang saw Jia Lian coming in, she was still holding the shelf first, and when she saw the account book clearly, her face turned green! He hurriedly asked, "How can you owe so much silver?" ”

Jia Lian said unhurriedly: "Auntie is afraid that she knows that because there were suddenly more people building gardens in Beijing, many materials were out of stock, and the prices of new arrivals were much higher, but there was no way." Recently, it has risen even more. ”

Not to mention stone and wood in Beijing before, even craftsmen were in great demand, and Mrs. Wang naturally knew about this, but now that Jia Lian mentioned it, her heart eased a lot. Hearing Jia Lian say that it has risen even more recently, he couldn't help asking, "Why has it risen again recently?" ”

Jia Lian deliberately frowned and said: "I don't know what Lord Wu thinks, saying that it is to build a garden as soon as possible and take Concubine Shuhui home to save relatives, but he actually raised the price to collect materials, if we don't follow the price increase, I'm afraid we will have cut off the materials long ago." ”

Mrs. Wang didn't like Concubine Wu, Jia Lian had already found out, and at this time, Mrs. Wang really bit her cheeks and said: "Lian'er is doing a good job, don't let the Wu family run ahead of us!" This matter has to be the leader of our Jiafu, which is not only the face of the mother, but also the glory of our house! ”

Although Jia Lian was extremely disapproving, he said with a smile on his face: "Auntie is very right, in the end, for the sake of the mother, no matter how we have to support it." Then Jia Lian said: "I just don't know about the fact that we sent food to the craftsman yesterday, so how did Master Wu's family know, and today the news came out that we would also send food to the craftsman." ”

As soon as Jia Lian finished speaking, Mrs. Wang slapped the table and said, "It's really a bastard!" After speaking, he said to Jia Lian: "You go to the account room to pay 30,000 taels first, and the rest, but I will give it to you in this day or two." Just a little! This yard is built for the mother, but it's not a little sloppy! Especially don't fall behind that Shuhui Concubine! ”

Jia Lian naturally understood what Mrs. Wang meant, and hurriedly responded: "Auntie, rest assured, the craftsmen are all thinking of Niangniang's good children, and they do their work quickly and well, Auntie just rest assured, and where am I guarding every day!" Hearing Jia Lian say this, Mrs. Wang looked at her and nodded to let Jia Lian retreat.

In this way, Jia Lian first went to the account room and received 30,000 taels of silver tickets. I went outside to settle the bill, and invited someone to eat and drink before coming back. Of the remaining more than 20,000 taels, he took out 20,000 taels and handed them to Wang Xifeng, and he also had hundreds of taels left in his pocket for turnover.

After hearing this, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but smile and said: "Master's mouth is really able to say that the dead are alive, I have to be careful, don't coax me over one day!" Jia Lian raised his eyebrows and said, "When did the master coax grandma for half a sentence?" Wang Xifeng pursed his lips and smiled when he heard him say this.

Although they had already expected that Mrs. Wang would reach out to Aunt Xue, Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng never expected that Mrs. Wang's movements would be extremely fast.

As soon as Jia Lian left, Mrs. Wang sent Zhou Rui's family and personally invited Aunt Xue over. Aunt Xue didn't know what was going on, so she took Baochai, who had just returned from Xichun, to Mrs. Wang's house. When Mrs. Wang saw Aunt Xue with Baochai, she didn't mention borrowing silver at first, and after a few words of laughter, she sent Baochai to explore the spring and cherish the spring.

Aunt Xue wanted to say that Baochai had just been there, but Mrs. Wang took Aunt Xue's hand and said, "Let the children play by themselves, and our sisters will talk about themselves." Aunt Xue couldn't, so she had to follow Mrs. Wang's wishes and let the uncertain Baochai look for spring.

After Xue Baochai left, Mrs. Wang complained to Aunt Xue with red eyes, not only saying that the Zhuangzi shop has not been confiscated yet, but also saying that Concubine Shuhui's mother's family deceived people too much, robbing stones and wood, and now she has the idea of a craftsman.

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Wang took Aunt Xue's hand and said: "Now I can't go up or down, I don't work together in the house, and my brother is not in Beijing, and now I can only ask my sister for help with a shy face." He wiped away his tears again.

Aunt Xue also had tears in her eyes when she heard this, and she comforted Mrs. Wang a few words, and said, "Sister, don't worry, we are sisters, isn't your business my business?" I don't know how much is missing? I'll go back and get it for my sister! ”

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she was overjoyed in her heart, but her mouth said politely: "How can anyone talk like this?" Just watch how my sister gets together. (To be continued.) )
