When the cold sunlight came out, Jia Cong leisurely walked out of the General's Mansion.

The eldest master, who was originally quite thoughtful and also full of joy, Chain Er and Wang Xifeng all calmed down after his analysis.

It is true that the concubine of Yuanchun Palace returned to the province to raise her face, but it will not be of much practical help to Rongguo Mansion.

What's more, if according to the old lady and Mrs. Wang's thoughts, they want to spend a lot of money to build a unique provincial family's courtyard, it is estimated that Rongguo Mansion and even Ning Guofu will have to go bankrupt.

That's not interesting......

The eldest lord, Chain Er and Wang Xifeng calmed down, briefly discussed how to deal with the old lady, and didn't even have the heart to enjoy breakfast, so they hurried to Rongqing Hall to discuss.

Jia Cong didn't go, he was a member of the side tribe who was not qualified and didn't want to participate!

After enjoying a familiar sumptuous breakfast in the General's Mansion, he went out leisurely and planned to go home as soon as possible, no matter how he said that today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and his younger brothers will come to pay New Year's greetings.

But at this moment, he sensed the familiar aura of the lame Daoist again, which was rapidly dissipating from the direction of Ning Mansion.

Hey!

I haven't been back for a few months, but I didn't expect the lame Taoist to dare to wander around?

Came directly to the gate of Ningfu, beckoned the gatekeeper, and asked, "Is there a strange person coming to the door?" ”

Menzi didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied: "Yes, a lame Taoist came to the door early in the morning, saying that there was a way to cure the master's illness, and Uncle Rong invited people in to perform a spell, and he had already left before!" ”

"Oh, that's right!"

Declined Menzi's warm hospitality, Jia Cong left with a faint smile on his face.

Obviously, Jia Zhen took the place of Jia Rui's guy, but I don't know if he will be tossed and hung up directly?

Although he guessed that Jia Zhen might be in danger, he didn't have the slightest idea of taking the initiative to rescue.

As for the disgusting things he knew yesterday, he wished that this fight would die as soon as possible.

……

After that, Jia Cong either stayed at home to accept the younger brothers, and the families of the younger brothers came to pay New Year's greetings, or went to other people's homes to pay New Year's greetings.

As for the matter of the Provincial Relatives of the Rong Mansion, as he said to the eldest lord before, it has little to do with him, and he doesn't want to take the initiative to participate in it.

Therefore, he didn't pay attention to it, and he didn't take it too seriously.

As for the matter of saving relatives, it is done with bad intentions today, but Jia Cong doesn't care much about it.

The dignified emperor, if he wants to deal with such a declining top nobleman as Rongguo Mansion, if he still needs to use unscrupulous means, this emperor will be like that.

Jia Cong can see clearly, the key is the emperor who is getting older and older, and he doesn't know when he will hang up.

The Rong Mansion is likely to be the emperor's ironcore, even if the old lady and the eldest lord don't think so, but they think so today.

After the emperor hangs up, in order to enhance the authority of the emperor, it is natural to attack the emperor's horse, so as to place his henchmen to seize important positions and achieve the unification of the court.

Therefore, no matter how gorgeous the provincial courtyard is, it doesn't matter how poor and extravagant it is, at most it will hinder today's eyes.

The key is that the foundation is hollowed out by building a provincial pro-courtyard, which is a problem with the brains of those in power in the Rong Mansion.

If you don't have enough chips and strength, how can you withstand today's targeting?

As for what crimes and the like, it's not like you can get it how you want today?

He didn't want to pay attention to it, but the eldest master and the second chain didn't let it go, and the relevant information was sent in time every day.

For example, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, an extremely fierce quarrel broke out in Rongqing Hall.

On behalf of the big house, the eldest lord put forward reasonable opinions that the vacant yard in the house could be used to renovate, but he resolutely refused to spend a lot of money to build another provincial hospital.

The old lady and Mrs. Wang naturally wanted to spend a lot of money to build a provincial hospital, and they also ridiculed the eldest lord and the little family, which would make the concubine of Yuanchun Palace embarrassed.

The eldest man is not a vegetarian, and directly stated that the big house took out 50,000 taels of silver for the construction of the provincial hospital, and there will be no more.

The old lady and Mrs. Wang naturally did not agree, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were already ready to take out 300,000 taels from the private house, and naturally they had to pay enough money for the big house.

According to Mrs. Wang, this is the glory of the mansion, and the big house can't just take advantage of it and not make efforts, at least 200,000 taels of silver have to come out.

The big house naturally did not agree, and this discussion broke up unhappily.

In order to raise money, the entire New Year's Rong Mansion was noisy and unpeaceful, in short, the old lady and the second room all kinds of rhetoric, insisting that the big house take out a large amount of silver as the money for the construction of the provincial pro-family.

Dafang was unmoved, which made the eldest man anxious, and he even pretended to be sick and ignored the old lady's call, which was helpless against him.

At this time, Lian Er and Wang Xifeng were glad to have moved out of the second house boundary early, otherwise this time the couple would have to bleed heavily, at least 50,000 taels of silver.

It was until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and still only 350,000 taels of silver were raised.

Mrs. Wang was so angry that she even didn't choose what to say at the family banquet, this bit of silver was only enough to lay the foundation of the provincial family's courtyard.

can't get a bargain from the eldest master, Mrs. Wang is also ruthless enough, she directly sprinkled hero posts, and sent posts to the old relatives to explain the situation, asking them to give money to support.

According to the eldest man's sarcastic words in private: It's almost like asking for food outside!

The reaction of the old relatives was still relatively positive, the Lin family gave 50,000 taels, the two brothers of the Shi family also made up 50,000 taels, the Wang family also gave 50,000 taels, and the Xue family had no choice but to give 100,000 taels, and raised 250,000 taels at once.

But this was far from enough, and then Jia Rong and Qin Keqing were harassed, not only did they get 50,000 taels of silver, but they also had to let most of Huifangyuan go out to build a provincial hospital.

I don't know if it's intentional revenge, or unintentionally, the garden designer invited by Rongfu with a lot of money Shanziye directly encircled most of the Ningfu Huifang Garden and the general's mansion garden of the eldest lord.

No matter how dissatisfied he was, under the pressure of the old lady, he could only pinch his nose and reluctantly respond.

The message from the eldest master and chain two made him feel like he was in a hurry to watch a big show.

From time to time, he was dragged to the General's Mansion to discuss matters, and basically what he said was about the provincial relatives, in short, it was all kinds of trouble.

The attitude of the old lady and the second wife is so resolute, what can Jia Cong, a member of the side tribe, say, can only make them feel relieved, anyway, the money of the big house has already been paid, and as for what the provincial relatives and other courtyards will cause, they don't need to care too much.

He didn't just say that, he did it.

Mrs. Wang also did everything to raise money, even the Jia clan people in the back street were asked to make up for it, and Jia Cong gave three thousand taels and ignored it.

It's Jia Rong, and I don't know if it's because of Qin Keqing's guidance, so I ran Jia Cong for help and guidance in three days.

"Uncle Cong, to be honest, my nephew really doesn't want to give up the land of Fangyuan, but the old lady's attitude is tough, and the second wife has a Yuanchun palace concubine, and the nephew really has no choice but to nod and agree, does Uncle Cong have a way to get rid of this?"

Obviously, Jia Rong is much more 'stingy' than his son Jia Zhen, but he is not like his Lao Tzu, who casually gave most of the Huifang Garden to the Rong Mansion to build a provincial hospital.

"What can I do as a member of the side tribe, I can only wait for the change, the gang of sons in the Rong Mansion are staring at the silver tickets raised in the hands of the second wife, do you think that the 'mere '700,000 taels of silver' can satisfy the appetite of those guys?"

Hearing this, Jia Rong couldn't help but gasp, her face changed, and her voice trembled when she spoke: "Since Uncle Cong can see it, why ......?"

"It's still the same sentence, I'm a member of the side tribe, no matter how much I have ideas, it's useless!"

"But if the provincial family courtyard is halfway through and there is no money, wouldn't it be a bad thing?"

"Does it have anything to do with your kid, it's also a headache for the old lady and the second wife, maybe the scale of the provincial courtyard will be reduced by then, and the Huifangyuan in Ningfu will lose less land!"

"What if the second wife continues to ask for money?"

"You kid is stupid, can't you learn from the old man to pretend to be sick?"

Jia Rong was instructed, and the Ning Mansion was peaceful, and it was not affected by the hustle and bustle of the Rong Mansion.

Even if some stewards and housekeepers who are quite powerful and can intervene in the construction of the Provincial Prince's Hospital, there is no way to toss when Jia Rong and Qin Keqing have not made the slightest movement.

In the midst of such disturbances, Jia Clan Studies reopened, Jia Cong still ran on both sides of the Clan Studies and the bookstore, and Chain Er also began to run errands normally, and was not affected by the establishment of the Provincial Relatives Hospital.

But the second wife was not satisfied, and the old lady was not happy......

In their opinion, the 600,000 taels of silver raised are far from enough, and there is still a troublesome matter at the moment, an overseer who has no use!

Chain Er was naturally the first to be remembered, but unfortunately he needed to go to the government every day to run errands, and it was impossible to have time to keep an eye on the construction site in the house.

Don't count on the second master of politics, it's okay to point fingers on the side, and if you really let him deal with the actual work, even the old lady is not at ease.

The eldest lord is also excluded, and the otaku doesn't say anything, if he is asked to supervise the work, I am afraid that the silver raised in a few days will become antique calligraphy and paintings.

As for letting the chief housekeeper Lai Da be the supervisor, it is naturally impossible.

Even if the old lady trusts the Lai family again, it is impossible to hand over such a major matter as the construction of the provincial family courtyard to a family child, it is too embarrassing to say it.

In the end, after calculating it, he actually set his eyes on Jia Cong.

When Jia Cong suddenly received the summons from the old lady, he was also confused: Why did he fall in love with himself?

It's a pity that before he was forcibly appointed as the construction supervisor of the Provincial Prince's Hospital, Ning Mansion suddenly knocked on the cloud board in the evening of this day: Jia Zhen is gone!

For a while, Ning Fu cried......

On the side of Rongfu, the old lady and the second wife, who were in high spirits and ready to show their strength, were all stunned, so they had to temporarily put aside the matter of building a provincial family's courtyard, and hurriedly arrived at Ning Mansion in a panic, and temporarily dispatched Wang Xifeng to help deal with Jia Zhen's funeral.

Of course, what they want to figure out most at this time is why Jia Zhen died so suddenly, and so unfortunately, delaying the construction of the provincial family's courtyard......
