Chapter 257: The Calm Before the Storm
Raising his eyes, Wang Xifeng was a little surprised when he heard Jia Rong's words, remembering all the previous things, Wang Xifeng also glanced outside, and then snorted coldly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Since he asked you to do it, there is naturally his reason, and you just listen to it. I don't want to think about which card I am, so I have to tell him everything.
Hello raw do! If you do a good job, Uncle Lian will not reward you, but I will reward you! ”
There were words in the words, Wang Xifeng's amorous Danfeng eyes were full of hatred at this time, but Jia Rong was moved, and she didn't notice that Wang Xifeng's words were actually a little inappropriate.
After all, Jia Zhen is Jia Rong's father, and it is normal to discipline his son to ask a few questions and reprimand.
It's just that Jia Rong thought that Wang Xifeng was holding grievances for herself, so she looked at her wife and children's 100,000 points of consolation.
For a while, the relationship between the husband and wife was unusually harmonious, and Wang Xifeng also knew that Jia Zhen was afraid that she would not have the time to find her bad luck during this time, so she accelerated the movements in her hand again, so as not to wait for Jia Zhen to come back to her senses, and she would be passive again.
This is a later story, on the other hand, Jia Lian has a few things in his hands, although he is busy, he is also orderly.
Before, the things in the old yard were used on the provincial villa, even though it was not enough, but fortunately, there was not much to add, and it was all thanks to an old Ming public name "Shanziye", planning to build, and Jia Lian deliberately said the meaning of Jia's mother in the middle.
Even if there are pavilions and pavilions, it is necessary to minimize unnecessary buildings and so on while ensuring pomp and circumstance.
That "Shanziye" is also a wonderful person, Jia Lian just said the general requirements, and did not tell the truth of the situation, he actually guessed that Jia Lian was to the effect of saving, so he changed the original sketch in his heart slightly, expanded the artificial lake in the middle, and expanded the garden rockery, so that the house and the others were just missing a yard.
The drawings were finally completed, and Jia Lian gathered everyone again to discuss the details and money.
This is to prepare for the future, and make the expenditure budget open and transparent, so that in the future, if there is any argument for the second room, everyone can also help to testify.
Jia Zheng was not accustomed to mundane affairs, and he couldn't do this, so he was instructed by Mrs. Wang to let Lin Zhixiao follow Jia Yu, Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, Lai Da, Lai Sheng, Wu Xindeng, Zhan Guang, Cheng Rixing and other people to be at the mercy of them.
Among them, Jia Yu is a lazy bone, he has always been comfortable and enjoyed, and he doesn't want to care about this.
Where the pile of mountains and chisel ponds, the building erects pavilions, the planting of bamboos and flowers, etc., there is a mountain and a wild system. The next court has leisure, but it is just to visit everywhere, and the most important thing is to discuss with Jia Zheng and Jia Lian.
Therefore, he was lying high at home every day, and when there was a mustard bean matter, Jia Zhen and others either went to him in person to explain it clearly, or wrote down the outline with notes; Or if he has something to say, he will let people call Jia Lian Lai and others to receive orders.
When Jia Zhen saw what she was doing, she simply pulled Jia Rong out and made gold and silver utensils in one tube.
Let Jia Qiang lead the two sons of Lai Butler, as well as Shan Pingren and Bu Guxiu, two Qing guests, to go to Xiagusu to ask for teachers, buy girls, and buy musical instruments.
Jia Rong was tempered by Jia Lian several times, Jia Lian was relieved, but Jia Qiang Jia Lian was a little drumming in her heart.
Jia Qiang is the decent great-grandson of Ningfu, his parents died early, and he has lived with Jia Zhen since he was a child, and he is more handsome than Jia Rong. That Jia Zhen doesn't know what's going on, she dotes on this nephew more than she does with her own son, and Jia Rong below doesn't reject it, but is very helpful, so she is very arrogant.
Because Jia Yuanchun is also a person from Rongguo Mansion, and Jia Lian is the one with the highest status among the actual person in charge, so this Jia Qiang also came to ask Jia Lian before, and wanted Jia Lian to get a relaxed, comfortable, and oily errand.
It's just that Jia Lian was thinking about how to reduce expenses, but his words naturally didn't catch his ears, so he refused on the spot. So he was sneered at by this person, and followed Jia Zhen's appointment.
Jia Zhen, as one of the people in charge, has the right to appoint a person in charge, but Jia Lian is really not at ease with Jia Qiang. mentioned a couple of sentences to Jia Zhen and was fooled by Jia Zhen pretending to be crazy and stupid, Jia Lian simply called his two milk brothers, Zhao Tianliang, the two sons of the grandmother Zhao Tianliang and Zhao Tiandong, to follow together.
Mama Zhao originally wanted to ask Jia Lian intentionally, but before she could open her mouth, Jia Lian spontaneously arranged it, she was naturally very grateful in her heart, and she was even more careful when she served Qin Keqing.
And the two Qingke ministers and Zhao Tianliang and Zhao Tiandong should take notes on the daily expenses, and even remember which store is called and what name is it one by one
In this way, Jia Qiang was afraid and did not dare to act rashly.
After all, there is only so much silver, people like Jia Qiang have no good intentions, and Jia Lian doesn't want to get used to the stinky problems of these people.
The rest is just some things to move her mouth, and Jia Zhen is also afraid that it will be too ugly, so she followed Lai Da and others to order people, open books, supervise work, etc., and the entire Ningrong Street was very noisy and lively for a while.
And when the next time the sample of Liu Xianglian from the printing house was sent to Jia Lian, it was already half a month later
The beige paper, the size of an ordinary book, is sprinkled with a total of five pages of crepe characters, and there is also a bust photo of Liu Xianglian.
Melancholy and handsome side face, with a straight nose, a plump forehead, and attractive lips.
"You go and tell your third aunt to write another copy, don't do anything about it, and replace it with words that ordinary people can understand."
Saying that his eyes drifted to the snow-white rice paper on his table that had not yet been cut, Jia Lian thought about it, and then instructed Jia Rong to order to go down, and the second batch was replaced with this kind of rice paper.
This part of him was specially prepared for dignitaries, so Jia Lian, who was high-quality in paper and typesetting, also personally supervised it, and asked people to draw a lot of flowers, birds, fish and insects in the blank space. This kind of word is used on the same person, and the other part is the poor quality of the people's paper, which is slightly better than straw paper, but it is not a grade compared to snow-white rice paper.
Jia Lian wants Liu Xianglian to build momentum for him at some special times in the future, not only does he need to be an official in the court, but the water can carry the boat and overturn the boat, and the people are also a very important factor.
You must know that this is Kyoto, and if there is a national riot or something in Kyoto at some time, it will scare people to death!
Therefore, the power of the people is huge, and of course the part of the dignitaries and nobles is also very important.
It's just that those Jia Lian, who are officials in the court, know that it's no fun, so it's always been their idea in the backyard.
What male idols have the most fans in later generations?
Girlfriend fan! Mommy Pink!
Jia Lian hit the idea of these ladies and ladies who are either rich or noble.
Look at the fans of the idols in later generations, and then grab resources for idols, it can be called professional.
In this era, there are no endless entertainment projects and products in later generations, and these ladies are not out of the door, so with such gossip and pastime, Liu Xianglian is like that, and it is easy to capture the hearts of these little girls.
In addition, Jia Lian also asked people to make a hand-cranked fan with different materials by the way.
There are jade pieces of mini handheld, sandalwood, birch and other different colors, cheap and large, and there are also ordinary wood prices of civilians.
It was the height of summer, and Jia Lian had sent a lot of people out before, and now Jiafu is a scene of flowers and cooking oil, or following the trend, or pleasing him, he even made a windfall.
Especially made of gold, silver and jade, those ladies and ladies like to compare in their own lives, Jia Lian sent three big and two small ones to the palace, and sent a few to the East Palace and Lin Daiyu.
It's just that the pen in Jia Lian's hand has run out, and there is no more to spare.
In the remaining days, as Qin Keqing's belly grew, Wang Xifeng also walked more diligently to Jia Lian's yard.
Mrs. Wang originally asked Lin Zhixiao to follow Jia Lian and others, in order to prevent Jia Lian from filling her pockets, but it was too late for Jia Lian to be busy saving money, and she had no intention of packing the money into the load, and all aspects were tightened and tightened, and several plans put forward by Lai Da and others were rejected, which made everyone miserable.
"The old lady said that if there is not enough to make up for the provincial villa, then the second master is now reducing the budget everywhere, isn't it just to solve the problems for the lady, the lady wants to open some, and the left and right are also to save money in our house."
Lin Zhixiao would come to Rongxi Hall every evening to report to Mrs. Wang on the progress of the day and Jia Lian's arrangements, but Mrs. Wang did not accept Jia Lian's behavior of saving money for her.
The meaning of Jia's mother's words, although it was true that she was asked to make up for the rest on the surface, how could she really do that. So from the Xue family, she first got 200,000 taels of silver, and then took out 100,000 taels, and the Wang family went to Wang Ziteng's wife to grind and soak hard, and she took 100,000 taels, a total of 400,000 taels, which is the limit.
Before the second room, Li Kun was in charge, and Li Kun was not comparable to Wang Xifeng.
In the Red Mansion in later generations, Wang Xifeng, under the bewitchment of Mrs. Wang, did not have the consciousness that he was the hostess of this mansion at all. Therefore, when Mrs. Wang put her in charge of the feed, she would be grateful to Dade and at the same time, she also tried her best to dig up the silver.
But in fact, Wang Xifeng doesn't have much silver in his hands.
Wang Xifeng's parents both died early, and Wang Ziteng was not a fuel-efficient lamp, so the dowry when Wang Xifeng got married was probably not as good as Qin Keqing. But Jiafu has long been shorted by Mrs. Wang, so why did Wang Xifeng take over this mess and insist on being "glamorous" for so long?
Trousseau.
In order to fill the shortfall, continue to hold the power. Wang Xifeng first used her dowry to fill the deficit little by little, and it wasn't until she found out that the hole was invincible that she began to put the monthly money of the next girl, and then went to put the money in the seal.
But Li Kun is different, Li Kun herself is the eldest daughter-in-law of the second room. Therefore, she does not have a little psychological burden in managing the middle feed of the second room, and she does not have the consciousness of Wang Xifeng to fill the gap with her own private room, of course, she does not have it.
Li Kun is the daughter of Li Shouzhong, a famous eunuch in Jinling, and once supervised the sacrificial wine for the son of the country, and this position is not a fat difference. It's just Jia's mother, because there are all men and women in the Li clan who don't recite poems and read books. Therefore, Jia's mother thought of hiring Li Kun to Jia Zhu, so that she could become Jia Zhu's virtuous helper and focus more on studying for the imperial examination.
Who knows that since Li Shouzhong inherited, he said that "women have virtue without talent", and when Li was born, he did not teach her to read, but some "Four Books of Women", "Biography of Daughters", "Collection of Virtuous Yuan" and other three or four books, so that she recognized a few words, remembered the previous dynasty of these virtuous women, but only to spin the well for the sake of the name, because of the name Li Kun, the word palace tailor.
Therefore, when Jia Zhu passed away, the Li family was like a dead tree, nothing was seen or heard, only knowing how to serve his own and adopted son, and Mrs. Wang pretended to be crazy and stupid during that time.
But because Mrs. Wang didn't make proper arrangements before, Li Kun didn't know how to be more restrained, and she was extravagant and wasteful as if she had not separated her family before, and even faintly filled her pockets.
Therefore, the finances of the second room are actually not very optimistic, so Mrs. Wang will not contribute any more money after giving this money.
So why is Jia Lian streamlining expenses, and Mrs. Wang is still unhappy?
Because the provincial villa was prepared to welcome Jia Yuanchun back to his hometown, everything was Jia Yuanchun's face. Jia Yuanchun is not the only concubine who returns to the province to save her family, others don't know, but she knows how her daughter, a virtuous concubine, came to be, so she wants to be able to fight for her daughter, so that she can overwhelm other people.
But Jia Lian acted like this again.
But she really didn't have any money, so she couldn't refute it, so she could only sulk.
Originally, according to her original idea, she was going to drive out the big house in the near future anyway, so it didn't hurt to sell some assets, and it would be the property of the second house in the future.
Who knew that it was rejected by Jia Lian in three or two sentences, and Jia Mu did not stand on the same front with them for the first time.
The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and Mrs. Wang couldn't drink the tea in her hand, so she put it back on the table heavily, ignored Caixia's words, thought about it and then spoke outside.
"You go and call Brother Huan'er, I have something to ask him."
Mrs. Wang has always known about Jia Huan's affection for Jia Lian, but this shaved head picker is hot, and Jia Lian doesn't see how to treat him, so Mrs. Wang has never taken it to heart.
But now that Jia's mother is not letting go, and the Changfang family has not moved out for a long time, Mrs. Wang can't sit still when she sees Jia Lian "cutting corners" in the provincial villa.
And seeing that Qin Keqing's belly was getting bigger and bigger, of course Mrs. Wang knew what Mother Jia was thinking.
But if she really wants to wait for the child in Qin Keqing's belly to land, will it affect Jia Mansion at that time, this provincial villa under the leadership of Jia Lian will indeed be far from what she imagined. ‘
Another thing, in Dongfu, Wang Xifeng is obviously her niece, but recently she has seen that her relationship with Qin Keqing has become increasingly close. Now when I come to Rongguo Mansion with Xiao Nannan, I run directly to Jia Lian's yard, and I really don't come here. ‘
Therefore, Mrs. Wang has a vicious method in her heart! ’’
