The prince's study is the most heavily guarded place in the palace, and if the hands of the second master and the second wife can reach in, they will not put a box of paintings in their eyes.

The painting was placed at the prince's place, and the princess was very relieved.

Mother Li was glad that the hydrangea hit the prince, and directly knocked the prince unconscious, he couldn't hide if he wanted to.

The princess is much stronger than the princess, and the princess always looks ahead.

However, thinking of the princess's situation, Mother Li can't hate iron but not steel, but she is distressed.

After all, the second wife and the princess are concubines, and she brought the paintings to exchange, or two, the princess refuses to change them, the second wife will definitely go to the old lady, and the princess can't help but give the old lady face.

If you really don't give it, the second wife's brother can't be promoted, those noble ladies ask the second wife, and the second wife can do it with a sentence, but the princess is reluctant to change pictures with her...... At that time, the gossip was directed at the princess, and she felt that the princess didn't miss her concubine.

first readily agreed, not to be stingy, and then ruined in front of her, the second wife must be angry enough.

As Mother Li guessed, the second wife was really angry, and her silver teeth were not almost broken.

The painting was destroyed, how could she say that it was a fake and persuaded the princess to find the authentic work?!

The county lord of Qinglan was raised by her since she was a child, but she didn't expect to give birth to a temperament that would rather be broken than broken.

It stumped her.

If she can't get the real thing, will Prince Yong let her eldest brother go?

The second wife returned to the South Courtyard worriedly.

Jiang Juan stayed in Tianxiang Courtyard for a quarter of an hour and then returned to Bai Jingxuan.

I didn't go back to the inner room, but went straight to the study.

When I entered the house, I happened to hear someone talking in the house, the voice was very unfamiliar, I didn't know who it was, Jiang Juan was about to leave.

Just turned around, Qi Moyuan's voice came, "Come in." ”

Jiang Juan pushed the door and went in.

As soon as she entered the house, she saw a middle-aged man about thirty or forty years old looking at her, Jiang Juan had never seen him, and he didn't know who it was.

Qi Moyuan introduced, "This is Lord Chen, the right attendant of the Ministry of Works. ”

A few days ago, Jiang Juan helped Nan Yuxuan buy the dowry shop of Mrs. Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Industry.

Lord Chen looked at Jiang Xuan's eyes with admiration.

He came to build the academy, and when he saw the drawings, he couldn't help but be amazed.

At first, Lord Chen thought it was painted by Qi Moyuan, and he was full of praise, Qi Moyuan said that he just added one or two to Jiang Juan's drawings, and he praised the wrong person.

No, seeing Jiang Juan, Lord Chen praised Jiang Juan again.

The praised Jiang Juan was a little overwhelmed.

After a few modest words, he walked to Qi Moyuan's side and said, "How long will it take to build it?" ”

Qi Moyuan looked at Lord Chen.

Chen Dadao, "The scale of this academy is not small, and it will take four months at the earliest. ”

"What about the cost?" Jiang Juan asked.

"About thirty or fifty thousand taels," Master Chen replied.

The difference between 30,000 taels and 50,000 taels is a bit big.

But the cost of building a house can be large or small, after all, the price of timber varies greatly, and the quality of the building is good, and the cost will naturally be more.

It's just that the scale of this academy is not small, and 30,000 taels is already the least, the least, and the least.

Since it has been built, it is natural to build a little better, but it costs 50,000 taels to build one casually, but she wants to build two.

It was a bit out of her budget.

Jiang Wan pondered for a while, and looked at Lord Chen, "If you find someone from the barracks to do coolies, what if you need the wood to cut it from the mountains yourself?" ”

Master Chen, "......." ”

Qi Moyuan, "......." ”

Master Chen glanced at Qi Moyuan.

Mrs. Zun is really not ordinary, she is calculating.

"Twenty thousand taels is enough," Master Chen's voice fluttered.

He now completely believes that this academy is to be built by the emperor.

It's not what the emperor wants to build, so that the two juniors can be so woollen?

Qi Moyuan coughed lightly and said, "There are many people in the barracks, if you find it from the barracks, it is estimated that it can be built in three months." ”

Lord Chen nodded, "Three months is enough." ”

After discussing for a while, Master Chen took his leave.

Qi Moyuan rolled up the drawings and said, "I'll send the drawings to the palace for the emperor to see." ”

Although the prince had a lot of soldiers under him, without the emperor's permission, Qi Moyuan could not let them build the academy.

Jiang Juan nodded and said with a smile, "Since you have entered the palace, I will put some pressure on Lord Yong by the way." ”

Qi Moyuan looked at her, "What's wrong?" ”

Jiang Juan told the second wife about going to the princess to exchange calligraphy and paintings.

This matter is not written off when the fake painting is destroyed, if you don't make a big fuss, how can you find out the shameless people in the palace together?

Qi Moyuan took the drawings and rode into the palace.

He entered the palace with his front foot, and the prince and the old prince Jiang also came over.

Old Prince Jiang looked at Qi Moyuan's figure and said, "That's my grandson-in-law?" ”

He asked the prince.

Wang Ye said, "It's a bit like." ”

Old Prince Jiang, "......." ”

Forget it.

King Jing'an doesn't look like his own father, he even has a son, and it's normal that he can't recognize his son.

Even if the emperor suddenly summoned them into the palace, he didn't know what important matters needed to be discussed, and he didn't hear that there was a war at the border pass.

The prince and the old prince Jiang played a pivotal role in the court, and they were summoned into the palace by the emperor, but they were the first to fail to go in directly, and waited outside the imperial study for a long time, still because their sons and sons-in-law were waiting.

The two people who practice martial arts have good ears, and they can hear the emperor's voice from the imperial study, "The academy is good, but the treasury is empty, and I have no money." ”

Lord Wang, "......." ”

Old Prince Jiang, "......." ”

The two looked at each other.

The emperor has always loved face, and it is unbelievable that he can hear such words as no money from his mouth.

They didn't know that the emperor was afraid of Qi Moyuan and Jiang Wankeng.

From the shop to the land deed, the emperor has not seen a copper plate until now, so he only has to pay for it.

Such a large academy would cost 100,000 taels to build it.

Wanjuanlou is very profitable, but 100,000 taels is not a small amount, and when the emperor saw the drawings, he tacitly assumed that Qi Moyuan came to ask for money-

Who made him not do such a good thing as sending money.

Then, the emperor's voice came, "What? ”

"Twenty thousand taels?"

"I ask you, who came up with such a calculating method?"

"Uchiko," Qi Moyuan said truthfully.

Old Prince Jiang looked proud, and the emperor praised my granddaughter for being able to make careful calculations, not bad, not bad.

In the study, the emperor frowned angrily.

There are so many ministers in the imperial court, but none of them thought of such a good way, and spent a lot of money on the treasury in vain.

Qi Moyuan thought that the emperor was angry with him, and explained, "It's a little bit of a careful calculation, but the money saved can build another academy of similar size." ”

The emperor frowned, "What are you doing by building two academies?" ”

"One article and one martial arts," Qi Moyuan replied.

“……。”
