Chapter 223: Provincial Relatives Saw and Heard
The Royal Palace, the Imperial Study
"Your Majesty, Chen Xian is here!"
"Let him in!"
"Minister, meet Your Majesty!"
"Daochang Chen, on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, please follow the concubine of Yuanchun Palace out of the palace to see how the qi of Ning Rong's second mansion is. And ......"
Today pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "By the way, look at what kind of color that Jia Baoyu was born with jade!" ”
"Honor!"
……
On August 15, the whole Rong Mansion was in a jubilant atmosphere.
From the old lady to the most ordinary sweeping maid, they are all radiant and energetic.
is almost the same as in the original book, including Hu Mu's second chain at home, Wang Xifeng, the second wife, Mrs. Wang, the second master and the eldest master, as well as Jia Lan and Tanchun, almost from morning to night, their legs are sore, and they are haggard.
Fortunately, there is still a gatehouse to take a rest, otherwise even a prime man like Chain Er can't stand it.
And at this time it is autumn, the weather in the capital is dry and pleasant, there is no biting cold in winter, and there is no hot and poisonous sun in summer, which is quite acceptable.
In short, Yuanchun Niangniang's provincial relatives are definitely a tedious job.
Don't look at the palace people who come to report every once in a while, saying that Yuanchun Niangniang is where she is, but Nima is all in the palace.
It wasn't until the end of the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner in the palace that there were no other activities, and Yuanchun Niangniang sat on the palace concubine's guard of honor and left the palace under the support of a large number of guards and palace maids and eunuchs.
Regardless of whether he wants to see Yuanchun, the palace concubine, or not, but the concubine is out of the palace to save his relatives, he must not lose face, and he is not happy to be talked about by the courtiers and the people.
Compared with the original work, Yuan Chun left the palace at about nine o'clock in the evening, and there was no palace view like in the original book, and the Lantern Festival was almost in the early hours of the morning.
Ahem, there is no need to describe too much about the specific plot of Yuan Chun's exit from the palace, and when he arrived at the Rong Mansion, he sighed when he saw his relatives.
Then, Chen Xian, who was hidden among the palace people, was shocked by the strength of Ning Rong's second mansion to regain its strength, and another pillar of the sky was closely escorted.
Just as he was about to take a closer look, a sudden backlash struck, his brain buzzed and roared, and traces of blood slowly flowed out of his seven orifices, and his hands and feet were weak as if he had been drained of his whole body strength.
Fortunately, he lowered his head in time, and at the same time bit the tonifying pill that he had put in his mouth early just in case, otherwise he would have made a terrifying scene.
At the entrance of Ningrong Street, Jia Cong, who was in charge of maintaining order, suddenly raised his head and glanced in the direction of the team in the palace, but he didn't see the slightest abnormality, so he ignored it.
Just now, I suddenly had a rush to be peeped at and even provoked in my heart, but it suddenly disappeared the next moment, and there was no other abnormal situation.
It is estimated that there should be a guy who has cultivated spiritual magic, and he is also mixed in the team of the provincial relatives in the palace.
Thinking about it, Yuan Chun is a palace concubine after all, even if she doesn't wait to see her today, she has given enough protective measures, and it is normal for some of the guards around her to be proficient in spiritual magic.
Otherwise, if the palace concubine is tricked after leaving the palace, it may not only cause chaos in the palace, but also the face of the royal family is not good-looking.
Sizzle......
But he didn't know that at this time, Chen Xian, who had already wiped the blood from the seven orifices and recovered a lot of vitality, was shocked and inexplicable in his heart.
I really didn't expect that the Rongguo Mansion, which had been in decline, would still have a chance for revival!
What's more, the pillar of luck that soared into the sky, I don't know which one in the Rong Mansion owns it, it is definitely the existence of the top of the luck.
I didn't see him just peep at it, and he received an extremely strong backlash, and he almost didn't show his eyes on the spot.
What a blessing in disguise......
Chen Xianfeng's mind was surging, and he soon made a bold decision.
……
The Mid-Autumn Festival of the concubines of the Yuanchun Palace went quite smoothly.
The provincial palace that was based on the five-entry mansion and renovated was magnificent, not much worse than the Grand View Garden in the original book, but the scale had shrunk by two-thirds.
But that's the case, Yuan Chun, who still visits the provincial hospital, sighs luxury. I was full of interest and visited for a full hour and a half.
After all, it took nearly 700,000 taels to renovate, and the ingenuity and ingenious layout during the period are definitely more beautiful and novel than the decent palace compound.
Jia Cong and his younger brother were not greedy for ink, even if they made a little oil and water, but most of the silver was spent on the real thing, and the result was that the provincial relatives were magnificent, and even asked a cadre to accompany him out of the palace, and the self-proclaimed well-informed palace people were eye-opening.
When Yuan Chun asked about the cost of building the provincial family's hospital, Mrs. Wang was still unhappy, and bluntly said that it was less than 700,000 taels, and she had wronged her mother.
She really thought so, and the look on her face was not fake at all.
The old lady next to her, and even Wang Xifeng, who felt sorry for the silver, subconsciously nodded in agreement.
At this time, Yuan Chun was confused, and the people close to the palace next to him were also surprised, thinking it was quite incredible.
Even if you are a fool, you know that the cost of building a palace is expensive, and the money spent on it every year by the Ministry of Internal Affairs is at least millions, and it is only repaired and maintained.
This is also the main reason why no matter what dynasty, once the emperor wants to build a large number of buildings, he will attract unanimous opposition from the courtiers, and the cost is too great.
Originally, I thought that the provincial family courtyard built by Rongfu was magnificent, and it would be 1.5 million taels anyway, but it turned out to be less than 700,000 taels!
Some old palace people know that the provincial palace of Rongfu is more magnificent than most of the palaces in the palace, and if they are here today, they will be jealous.
Yuan Chun was also quite surprised, for the sake of the upper position, the silver money she threw out alone was enough to be two or three hundred thousand taels, and naturally knew that it was less than seven hundred thousand taels, how rare it was to be able to build the current magnificent and splendid provincial palace.
Unlike a female dependent, who felt that the cost was too little, which might cause dissatisfaction with the mother, the second chain heard the surprise in the mother's words.
Through the bead curtain, Chain Er explained with a smile: "This is the result of the third brother Cong taking a student of clan studies and supervising the work specifically, and for this reason, there were some conflicts with the subordinates in the house, and the cousin of the Xue family even had a group fight with the housekeeper in the house!" ”
Yuan Chun immediately heard the deep meaning, don't look at the chain and explained with a smile, he has already explained the small cost of building a provincial family courtyard, as well as the resistance encountered, which is much smarter than a female dependent.
"I don't want the children of Fuzhong to be so good, and the clan has also produced talents!"
This is really a feeling, after being in the palace for so long, I naturally know how difficult it is for the servants who are equal to the eunuchs and palace maids.
Brother Cong of the big house was able to take a group of clan students, and he was hard against the greed and dissatisfaction of the big housekeeper in the house, and it cost less than 700,000 taels to build a magnificent provincial family's courtyard, which is really not easy.
Even the cousin of the Xue family, who was known as the 'second stunned' in his mother's mouth, joined in and played the role of a thug, I really didn't expect it.
This is very different from the situation in the palace when Mrs. Wang entered the palace.
is the greedy and lustful chain two in the mother's mouth, and the very unbearable chain two, who speaks quite cleverly and reacts quickly, this kind of ability plus the background of the Rong Mansion, it is not difficult to make a name for himself in the officialdom.
"Brother Cong is here?"
Subconsciously, Yuan Chun really wanted to see Jia Cong in the big house.
It is not easy to take a group of ethnic students to build a magnificent provincial courtyard at a very low price under pressure.
If it is placed in the officialdom, it is also a role of a capable minister who can do things and can get things done.
Since becoming a palace concubine, although she is not very well received today, a lot of news has poured into her ears, and the ability to gather information brought about by different statuses is also very different.
For example, today's temperament is a little mean, but he attaches great importance to practice, and attaches great importance to officials and courtiers who are capable of practice and good at doing it.
Just look at the officials in the imperial court who are valued today, and you can know what kind of temperament and ability they have. Anyway, as long as you can do practical things, you may be able to enter today's eyes and be reused.
I don't want to, there is even a practical child in the house.
When she reaches Yuanchun's status, she will no longer distinguish the big house and the second room so clearly, they are all the forces of the Rong Mansion, she naturally hopes that the mansion will become more and more prosperous, and there are courtiers who can be valued today, so her life in the palace will be much better.
"Niangniang, wait a minute, the third brother Cong has been maintaining order at the corner of the street before, and it will take a little time for him to come over!"
Chain Er didn't expect that just a position of supervisor of the provincial hospital could be so valued by Yuanchun Niangniang.
His position and vision in the officialdom were still not enough after all, and he couldn't guess the specific thoughts in Yuan Chun's heart, so he had to send someone to immediately summon Jia Cong to meet his mother.
Yuan Chun was not idle, he was relaxed and chatted with the old lady and the second wife, but after talking for a while, he always felt that the words of the two elders were too empty.
It's not perfunctory, it's not in one band.
The old lady and the second wife naturally said that the situation in the mansion was very good, as if the Rongguo Mansion had risen again and became the head of the Eight Princes again.
And Yuan Chun needs to know the situation in the house, especially the ability of a brother of the same generation, which can also be used as the foundation for her to gain a foothold in the harem.
The situation in the Rong Mansion is really as good as the old lady and the second lady said, her life in the palace will not be so difficult, at least even if she doesn't wait to see her today, she will not show it too clearly, so that she is often faceless.
After all, he relied on whistleblowers to get to the top, and his confidence was really insufficient, and he desperately needed the support of the government to live a better life.
"Baoyu participated in the construction supervision of the Provincial Hospital?"
After chatting for a while, Yuan Chun felt a little impatient, and suddenly opened his mouth to change the topic: "I heard from my mother, Baoyu is still studying in the clan ......."
