Chapter 120: Pit King Xifeng
The housekeepers of Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion can be roughly divided into three levels.
The first is the big housekeeper, in fact, there are only two people, one is Lai Da of Rongguo Mansion, and the other is Lai Er of Ning Guofu.
The second-class housekeeper is mainly responsible for a certain business.
For example, Wu Xindeng who is in charge of the silver treasury, Zhou Rui who is in charge of the grange, Lin Zhixiao, Zhang Hua and others who are in charge of commerce, craftsmen, and Jinling's old house.
The third-class ones are the little housekeepers, such as Zheng Haoshi, who is in charge of the order and gate in the house, Wang Rong, who is in charge of carriages and horses, Zhou Feng, who is in charge of material procurement, and so on.
Among them, Zheng Haoshi has the widest range of activities and the longest activity time.
This identity also allows him to move around the house at will, which provides convenience for him to understand the situation in various parts of the house.
In fact, Zheng Haoshi is the security manager of Rongguo Mansion.
Of course, this is his superficial identity.
His other identity is that he is a spy of the Jinyi Army who infiltrated Jiafu.
The Jinyi Army is the emperor's private army, and the major families in the capital, and even the palaces and well-known big families in other places, all have secret agents like Zheng Haoshi.
They are responsible for monitoring the movements of each large family and reporting to their superiors at all times.
Jia Yuanchun was named a noble concubine and built a provincial villa, which was a top priority for Jiafu.
Jia Fu's reaction to these things, and the corresponding strategy, were naturally within Zheng Haoshi's attention.
Zheng Haoshi stopped in front of the instrument door and looked at the notice posted on the wall.
This is a notice about Xie Huangen, welcoming the provincial relatives, and holding the New Year Poker Grand Prix.
Looking at this announcement, Zheng Haoshi couldn't help but smile bitterly.
This Uncle Rui can really drum up new tricks.
There are still a lot of such notices in the East and West Mansions and on Ningrong Street, and at this time, probably the entire Jia clan knows about it.
Seeing that there was no one around, Zheng Haoshi quickly took off the notice and stuffed it into his arms.
In a moment, he was going to meet with his boss and hand him over the notice.
Then you go inside, and from time to time you can see some slogans.
"The emperor's grace is vast, and the four seas are leveled."
"With the strength of the whole family, build a first-class provincial villa."
"The concubine is pro-Japanese, and the emperor's grace is mighty."
"Work together to build the most beautiful provincial villa".
"Work hard and contribute to the provincial villa."
"Every penny is spent on the provincial villa."
"Meticulously crafted, keep improving, and ensure that the quality of the provincial villas is first-class."
This Uncle Rui, how could he come up with so many tricks. Before the construction of this villa started, the momentum was built.
If the emperor hears that the Jia family is working so hard, he will definitely be happy.
In other concubines' families, probably no one will come up with these novel tricks.
Even playing poker can be linked to the creation of a provincial villa, and probably only Uncle Rui can come up with such a trick.
The most special thing is that he even asked those masters to sign a letter of commitment to ensure that they would not interfere in the personnel, money, and materials of the project, so as to ensure the quality of the project.
When Zheng Haoshi came to the big room, he saw that a lot of people had gathered here.
Above the door of the house, a banner was pulled.
There is a large line written on it; "The pledge ceremony for the construction of the provincial villa by the Jia clan."
Jia Rui was standing under the banner, speaking loudly.
"All the clansmen must already know that the emperor has named our eldest girl a virtuous concubine. This is the emperor's grace, the emperor's recognition of the eldest girl, and the glory of our Jia family. ”
"The emperor is generous and benevolent, let the eldest girl go home to save her relatives, and we are grateful in our hearts."
"The emperor loves the people like a son, and worries about the country and the people. There are no opportunities to summon all of us. We can't thank the emperor for his kindness in person. ”
"However, we can express our gratitude to the emperor in our own way."
"Now the construction of the provincial villa is the best time, the better the provincial villa is built, the more we can express our gratitude to the emperor."
"People do not distinguish between high and low, the government does not distinguish between things and things, and the strength of the whole clan is used to see the provincial villa. As long as everyone gives a little love, the provincial villa will become a beautiful home. ”
"Let's donate, not much, just a little bit of your heart. A hundred taels of silver is not too much, and a penny is not too little. ”
"Those who have money will pay, those who have no money will contribute, and those who have no strength will have a heart, and if you read a few more words of the emperor's grace in your heart, the emperor will live forever."
"Under the world, it is not the king's land. On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. The emperor is rich all over the world, will he lack our money? Naturally not. ”
"What the emperor cares about is our heart, and this thanksgiving."
"Okay, Miss Ping'er donated 500 Wen, Lin Zhixiao, write it down quickly."
"Everyone knows that Miss Ping'er is the person of Lian's second grandmother, and everyone in the house says that Miss Ping'er is good."
"Why is Miss Ping'er so good? It's all good for Lian's second grandmother. Second Grandma Lian is not only a beautiful lady of the Wang family, but also a good daughter-in-law of the Jia family when she arrives at our Jia family. ”
"Over the years, Rongguo Mansion has been well organized and the family business has prospered, which is all due to Grandma Lian."
"Ping'er is so good, can Grandma Lian be worse? How much Grandma Lian can donate, let's wait and see, and donate. ”
When Zheng Haoshi saw this scene, he felt a little funny at first, but then gradually understood Jia Rui's intentions, and he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart.
can use this method to please the emperor, it seems that the emperor can't talk about the Jia family.
However, Lian's second grandmother was so openly squeezed by him, and if she donated less, she was afraid that she would not be able to get over it on her face.
This time, the second grandmother of Lian is going to feel distressed.
At this time, Wang Xifeng was not only distressed, but also had the heart to kill Jia Rui.
Bastard Jia Rui, he actually got the donation ceremony to my territory.
That's it, they still run me out like this, and ask me to pay.
The ancestor in front asked the mandarin duck to send two hundred taels of silver, and the eldest wife and the second wife donated one hundred taels.
You Shi and Li Kun are both fifty taels, and I would have taken fifty taels. But this Jia Rui, who killed a thousand knives, lifted me up vigorously, and only took fifty taels, doesn't it seem that I am too stingy?
Alas, then ten taels more than Li Kun, pledge sixty taels.
Wang Xifeng stood up.
"Brother Rui, I'll donate sixty taels."
Jia Rui's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly shouted loudly.
"Okay, the second sister-in-law of Lian pledged one hundred and sixty taels, Lin Zhixiao, quickly write it down, the second sister-in-law of Lian is one hundred and sixty taels."
"Everyone, I'll just say that your second grandmother Lian is a hero in the fat powder team, and she is really a heroine, let us thank Lian's second sister-in-law for her dedication with warm applause."
"At this moment, we will invite the second sister-in-law of Lian to come up and give a speech."
Wang Xifeng was a little stunned.
"Ping'er, how much did he say I pledged?"
"One hundred and sixty taels."
Wang Xifeng was dizzy and almost collapsed.
Jia Rui, who killed a thousand knives, you added a hundred taels to me at this time, don't you want my life, how much can I earn by putting a month's printing money.
What do you still want me to talk about, my biggest feeling at the moment is to go to the kitchen and get a kitchen knife and chop you into meat sauce and feed it to the dogs.
"Second sister-in-law, everyone is waiting for you to come up and express your thoughts. Don't shake your head, come up and say a few words. Alas, still shaking his head, then forget it. ”
"Let's take a look, Lian's second sister-in-law donated so much money, but she didn't seek fame or profit, and she was willing to be an unsung hero. What kind of spirit is this? That's the dedication of obscurity. Let us express our gratitude to Lian's second sister-in-law with great admiration and warm applause. ”
"Okay, the second sister-in-law stood up and expressed her modesty, this spirit is even more admirable."
Wang Xifeng didn't want to stand up, but when he heard Jia Rui say this, he had no choice but to stand up, waving to everyone frequently, and squeezing out a smile on his face.
Jia Rui, who killed a thousand knives, you wait for me, the old lady will kill you.
