In the west room of the main courtyard of Yuchun Hall, Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Hou looked at the flattened drawings on the kang table, and both of them were a little breathless.

Restore the willow garden!

They dreamed of it.

Especially after Chen Luo grew up, Chen Yu was not good at chasing and beating his son anymore, Chen Luo moved out because of discord with his parents, the children of the powerful in Beijing no longer often went in and out of the eldest princess's mansion, Lu Mingxuan lost the hustle and bustle of the past, and Liuyin Garden gradually returned to quiet.

Not only them, but also the Marquis of Yongcheng, have thought about it more than once.

But it took a lot of money to repair the willow garden, where did they get this money?

Now, an opportunity is at their fingertips.

Mrs. Tai lowered her eyelids and did not speak for a long time.

Mrs. Hou looked anxious, and she couldn't wait to agree for Mrs. Hou.

In this way, her sons do not have to worry about the new house when they get married.

The people of her mother's family came to visit relatives, and she didn't have to pick and choose not to look like an aunt.

Mrs. Hou pulled Mrs. Latai's sleeve.

Mrs. Tai suddenly woke up, looked at Wang Xi with a somewhat complicated gaze, and her voice was dry: "Have you ever discussed your parents about this matter?" ”

She knew that the Wang family was rich, but it was not a small amount, she was afraid that Wang Xi would not know the importance and make her own opinion, and hoped that this was her daughter who had suffered and suffered outside but was still in love with her parents borrowed Wang Xi's hand to be filial to her.

"I don't have to consult my parents about this kind of thing." Wang Xi didn't know what Mrs. Tai thought, in her opinion, this is a trivial matter that does not hurt her muscles and bones, she can completely call the shots, she doesn't have to alarm the elders in the family, and she can also brush up the face of the people of the Wang family in the Yongcheng Hou Mansion, she is only worried that she is soft-spoken in the eyes of everyone in the Yongcheng Hou Mansion, and she doesn't take her business seriously, she smiled sweetly and said, "I have already asked the big shopkeeper of the family to calculate, and it will take about seven or eight thousand taels of silver to repair a garden like this." It just so happened that I had a pen and silver stored in the bank, and it was just time to take it out and use it. It's just that I heard that there are rules for building a house in the capital, but I'm afraid that I'm young and ignorant, and if there is something I don't do well, I still need the guidance of Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Hou. ”

Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Hou gasped when they heard this.

Seven or eight thousand taels of silver, Wang Xi was like child's play, and he took it out, as if it was not a huge amount of money, but an apple casually placed in the basket, and he gave it away.

The Wang family spoils children, and there must be a limit.

Like Wang Xi, no amount of family resources is enough for her to lose!

The corners of Mrs. Tai's mouth were slightly twitching, and she wanted to ask for an understanding, but Mrs. Hou hurriedly opened her mouth before Mrs. Tai: "Look at what Miss Tai said, how can you do things inappropriately?" If nothing else, let's just say this drawing, I don't see a place that is prohibited, so it can be seen that Miss Biao has put a lot of thought into it. What's more, repairing a house and building a house is a hundred-year-old plan, but it is our Houfu people who have received the favor. Not only me, but also your uncle is here, and I have to thank you. ”

She was afraid that Mrs. Tai would say something and make this matter worse, so she didn't dare to look at Mrs. Tai, got up and picked up the drawing, and said with a smile: "Then my aunt won't be polite to you, I'll take it to your uncle and let him send someone to the Ministry of Works to say it, so that I can choose an auspicious day to start construction as soon as possible." ”

Wang Xi could naturally see Mrs. Hou's thoughts, and she happened to be in line with her thoughts, so she immediately smiled and said, "Then trouble Mrs. Hou." I heard from the shopkeeper of our family that this is the best time to break ground, and if it is dried again in June, we can move there in the summer. If you settle down here, I can also go and talk to the big shopkeeper of our family as soon as possible, and ask him to help find some good wood and stone to enter the house, and build this garden as soon as possible. ”

"Exactly, exactly." Mrs. Hou responded happily, glanced at Mrs. Tai quickly, and saw that although Mrs. Tai did not speak, she was not displeased, and her heart was relieved, knowing that she had passed this level without danger, she was immediately even more happy, said hello to Mrs. Tai, and walked out of the west quickly.

Mrs. Tai sighed secretly, only blaming herself for not having the ability, not much to marry, and not much money to subsidize her son and daughter-in-law. But she also felt sorry for Wang Xi, so that at a young age, she used her own body and silver to supplement the Chang family.

She shook Wang Xi's hand guiltily, not knowing what to say.

The Wang family is in business.

In addition to making money in harmony, their family also has a business experience.

What can be solved with money is never a problem.

Wang Xi thinks that she can solve the problem of where she lives by spending a little silver, and she can also sell the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion for a good, why not do it?

She didn't feel that she was at a loss, but she didn't want to just lift it up and put it down gently, and keep silent when she could.

"You don't have to feel sorry." Wang Xi smiled and coaxed Mrs. Tai: "When I leave, you can move to Liuyin Garden to live, although Yuchun Hall is good, it is too close to the Donglai Courtyard where the Hou Ye lives, and it is still a little noisy when it comes to festivals." Then she said what she was going to do, "Isn't there an alley behind the Willow Garden?" Just a horse-drawn carriage away. I thought that I could open a corner door in the willow shade garden, and then repair the weeping flower door, build a back cover room, set up a sedan hall, and place a few small houses. ”

If she changes it like this, Wang Xi and the others can live in.

Mrs. Tai lives in the middle of nowhere, and she doesn't have to entertain her relatives at home unless necessary.

The old lady couldn't help but be moved, she didn't think about Wang Xi at all, she only felt that her granddaughter was gentle and considerate, thoughtful, very filial, looking young, in fact, she knew everything for the sake of others and plans, and she was a rare and thoughtful person.

"It's hard for you to think so thoughtfully." Mrs. Tai's guilt seemed to turn into substance, and fell on Wang Xi's palm—her hand was pinched twice, and Mrs. Tai said, "I can't embarrass you." I have two rare pieces of Hetian jade in my hand, I will ask Mama Shi to bring it to you, and you can take it back to play. As he spoke, he was going to call Mama Shi in.

This should be the object at the bottom of the old lady's box, and it is still ready to accompany the funeral.

Wang Xi hurriedly stopped Mrs. Tai: "If you say this, I won't be able to ask about the renovation of the Willow Garden!" She also pretended to be distressed and said, "I am also going to ask the big shopkeeper to help me find an eight-step bed of agarwood or golden silk nanmu." ”

Agarwood and golden silk wood are not easy to find, let alone beds made of these two materials. Agarwood, in particular, has a calming effect and is especially good for the elderly.

Mrs. Tai felt that Wang Xi was doing this for her.

She was so moved that she didn't know what to say.

Wang Xi took the opportunity to say: "In this way, there should be no shortage of places to live at home, right?" It is better to take this opportunity to repair the Spring Shade Garden next to the Willow Shade Garden and divide it into two courtyards, so that when Miss Shi comes, she can live in the Qingxue Garden, and Miss Pan can live in the Spring Shade Garden with Cousin Ke. If my aunt comes back one day, she can also rest in the Spring Shade Garden. ”

There was a sentence she didn't say.

When Mrs. Tai moved over, if there is a junior you like, you can also arrange it in the Spring Shade Garden, not far away, just in the morning and dusk, and talk with you every day.

Mrs. Tai obviously thought of it too.

Chunyin Garden and Liuyin Garden were originally a courtyard, the old marquis was not taboo in meat and vegetarian, gave birth to a bunch of children, and the family was not enough to live, so the yard was divided into two, called Chunyin Garden and Liuyin Garden.

Now that it is like this, it has been changed to one large, two small and three courtyards, which just solves the urgent need of the Hou Mansion.

Mrs. Tai moved.

Wang Xi continued to fight for Chang Ke's interests: "I see that Cousin Ke has a soft personality, and Miss Pan is from a scholar's family, they will definitely be able to tolerate each other and get along well." ”

She was afraid that Chang Ning would see it well by then, and if she wanted to live in, Chang Ke would have to continue to squeeze in Yuchun Hall.

Mrs. Tai thought about Chang Ning's temperament and couldn't help but nodded.

When Mrs. Hou came to call her back, she talked about Chunyin Garden: "Do you want to take this opportunity to change that side as well, with a flower wall in the middle, divided into two courtyards, one for your niece to live in, and one for Ah Ke to live." When Ah Ke and the others go out, the seventh and eighth children will also have separate yards, and they can also live in them. ”

In this way, Mrs. Hou's three sons who have not started a family have a place to expand the yard.

Mrs. Hou was overjoyed, and hesitated: "The silver that penetrates the flower wall......"

Mrs. Tai sighed.

Obviously, it was Mrs. Hou who benefited, but she didn't even want to give this bit of silver.

Thinking of Mrs. Hou's marriage, Mrs. Tai sympathized with the illness and said, "I'll find a way." You can arrange it like this for now. ”

Mrs. Hou was full of gratitude, and thanked again and again.

When the timber and stone had entered the house, Wang Xi sent Wang Xi to help, and told him: "You learn a little, maybe it will come in handy one day." ”

The most important thing is not to let the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion covet her silver, she obviously marked on the drawings to use a thick pillar, and they didn't change it to a thick bowl.

Wang Xi responded "yes" respectfully and went to Liuyin Garden.

Wang Xi had nothing to do and invited Chang Ke to come over to play chess.

Chang Ke was very embarrassed and said, "I can't play chess!" ”

Wang Xi was immediately excited when he heard this, and said, "You don't know how to play chess, I'll teach you." Rest assured, it's very simple. ”

Bai Guo set up a table under the grape trellis in the courtyard, Bai Zhu took the chessboard, Chang Ke trembled and held Bai Zi, and his spirit was tense for half an hour, only to find that Wang Xi was not afraid of one and a half catties and one eight taels compared to her!

Chang Ke raised his eyebrows, giggled, and took the opportunity to eat Wang Xi's four sons.

Wang Xi had a good game of chess and was missing a corner.

She was so angry that her cheeks bulged like a goldfish, and said, "Don't you know how to play chess?" ”

Chang Ke smiled: "I won't!" But I didn't expect you to be worse than me. ”

Wang Xi felt that Chang Ke's words were too hurtful, and decided to play chess well and defeat Chang Ke.

She lay there on her elbows, pondering what to do next.

Chang Ke could wait patiently for her at first, and when Assi took the dried fish to feed the bay leaves, Chang Ke couldn't sit still, first quietly took the dried fish and teased the bay leaves, and then simply held the bay leaves in his arms and fed them.

Wang Xi was so angry that he said to Chang Ke: "Is there anyone like you who plays chess like this?" You don't respect your opponent at all. ”

"Oh!" Chang Ke hurriedly put Xiangye on the ground, said to Xiangye, "You can play by yourself for a while", and sat down at the table again.

Xiangye remembered that Chang Ke once fed it small dried fish, and screamed "meow meow" while lying on Chang Ke's skirt.

"You traitor!" Wang Xi scratched Xiangye's chin.

Xiangye was paralyzed on the ground, and Ren Wangxi rubbed it on all fours.

Chang Ke's eyes were red, he squatted next to him and watched, looked at Wang Xi with admiration and said, "You are really amazing." You are the only one in our family who dares to have a cat. ”
