Chapter 144: No matter the best

(Cat flutter Chinese) "Whew!" The fifth prince was disdainful: "It's just a dowry, how much more can it be?" How can it be? Besides, her dowry is hers, more or less, is it possible that I can still use her dowry? I can't afford to lose this face! Jiang Zhengyuan smiled slightly embarrassedly: "That's right, no matter what, it doesn't use the daughter-in-law's dowry, this dowry is more or less just a face." The latest free chapters of the book can be found here. ”

The fifth prince glanced at him, as if asking casually: "You have been lucky to get such a fat difference from the fourth brother." ”

"It's your blessing to say this." Jiang Zhengyuan's eyes were slightly sluggish, and he smiled calmly: "The fourth master has decided to marry, and then it's time to discuss your family affairs, Ye Niangniang took a fancy to a few little ladies, and asked her aunt to help them participate in Xiang Xiang together, do they talk, just talk about me, put it in their eyes, one you, one me, are idle and do not seek progress, just like that, I found a messenger for me, I heard my aunt say, Ye Niangniang gave you a fancy to the few little ladies really can't be faulted, but you chose the Li family lady." ”

"Can I choose?" The fifth prince replied angrily, Jiang Zhengyuan's eyes moved slightly, and then said: "Yesterday, A-Niang went into the palace to see her aunt, and when she came back, she told me about your family affairs, and my aunt said that she asked the official family about a few little ladies that Ye Niangniang fancied, and the official family said that she didn't have to worry about your family affairs, the official family really loves you very much, and you are the first one who can be married by the official family in person." ”

The fifth prince's eyes flashed with solemnity, and he was silent for a moment and said, "Thank you, has your family matter been decided?" ”

"It's almost, A-Niang is picky, she has a good family background, she can't be arrogant, she wants to be submissive, and she has the ability to run a family, anyway, it means that she has to pick a perfect one, I don't care, I can't care about it, as long as she picks it." Jiang Zhengyuan said casually, and the fifth prince sighed slowly: "I also want a soft personality." ”

"Huh? Isn't the lady of the Li family famous for her good temperament? Jiang Zhengyuan said strangely, the fifth prince glanced at him, and didn't answer for a long time.

Sending Jiang Zhengyuan away, the five princes were crooked on the kang in a daze, Huang Jingjie hurriedly came in from outside and said: "Steward Li, who is the prisoner, asked to see him, saying that he wanted to show you the drawings of the mansion, and asked for instructions on how to repair and arrange it, and also said that the house he picked was big, although the location and garden were good, but the house was in disrepair, and he had to report to you about the money." ”

"Why are you so annoying!" The fifth prince slapped his face on the table irritably and shouted: "What kind of report on the money, just say it clearly, isn't it just that the money allocated by the Ministry of Rites is not enough?" I don't have any money, not a tael! Love to repair but not to repair! And if you ask me how to fix the decoration, do you want me to tell them how to work?! Missing! Huang Jingjie smiled wordlessly, and stood for a while before saying helplessly: "That's your mansion......"

"That's the Prince's Mansion! Everything is customized, what to ask? Go and tell them that there are rules for everything in the royal family, let them do it themselves, and if they can't do it, they will hand over the messenger back, and then find someone who can do things! The fifth prince cut off Huang Jingjie's words, and said confidently, Huang Jingjie exhaled angrily: "Then do you plant wisteria or Lingxiao outside your study?" Let them watch it too? ”

"It's up to you!" The fifth prince didn't want to listen to a word at all, waved his hand irritably, Huang Jingjie had to sigh and leave, the fifth master's temper today is scary, and it was all caused by the box falling into the corner.

Director Li is a simple person, without saying a word, he respectfully resigned from the shopkeeper of Huang Da, held the scroll of drawings, went out to the right, and went straight to Li Zhongzhi's house.

Not long after, Li Zhongzhi and Director Li, who was holding the drawings, came out and got into the car and entered Qingtong Courtyard.

Li Tian sat on the kang and slowly looked at the drawings laid in front of her, the architectural engineering drawings of this era are quite good, they are simply fine brushstrokes, for a layman like her, it looks very comfortable and clear.

Li Zhongzhi sat on the armchair in front of the kang and said slowly: "I got the letter of marriage, I will pay attention to this branch and the repair of the back, first talk about the branch, this has to praise the fifth master, the house is good, the location is good, the scenery is good, these two things are the most important, the fifth master has a vision, he picked the evening of the day, I looked for a few masters to take a closer look, the house is a little old, there are many places to repair, but this is not a big deal." Let's talk about repairs, this is the ninth child of An Yuanfang. Li Zhongzhi pointed to the middle-aged steward who was sitting on the opposite side and introduced: "It's called Li Xiaoning, Lao Jiu has been a prisoner for 20 years, and there is nothing he doesn't know about the door and door of repair, and people are also smart and changeable. ”

"This messenger happened to be in the hands of Brother Jiu?" Li Tian interjected, Li Zhongzhi stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Fifth Sister is a person who understands, repairing such an envoy as the Prince's Mansion originally had to be dotted and dotted, but this is a general eunuch, and the messenger that our Li family wants to take is not the turn of others." ”

"The fourth master's house is also the head of our family?"

"The fourth master's house is naturally taken care of by the Dongyang County Palace, and our Li family has always been honest." Li Zhongzhi smiled kindly, Li Tian nodded clearly, the Li family has no backer, if you want to be low-key and low-key, you naturally can't do things that compete with others.

"Let's go on to get down to business, repair this house, the first one is that the money is not abundant, there are rules for repairing the prince's mansion, the first prince opened the house frugally, this rule was established, when Lao Jiu took over the mission, the head spoke, said that the palace said, the money does not have to be too tight, if it is not enough, it will be paid from the prohibition, this matter has to be discussed with the fifth lady, I let people inquire, there is no such thing in the fourth master's mansion, I mean, since there is this in the palace, the branch always has to support a little, can not bear the heart of the official family, but can not be more branched, This is all about the account, there are too many branches, first, I am afraid that the official family will look back at the account book and feel sorry for the silver, and second, I am afraid that other masters will know that they are uncomfortable, besides, there is also the imperial history platform, do not commit this handle to the royal history who have nothing to do, besides, there is no Huang family, I let Lao Jiu go to Qingfeng Building, although I didn't see the fifth master, but I got the words of the Huang big shopkeeper, saying that there is any shortcoming, just write down the use to Qingfeng Lou to support the silver, so, the silver will be fine. ”

Li Tian put down the drawings, listened attentively to Li Zhongzhi's words, only pursed her lips and smiled, her cousin, looked honest and kind, this is very good in her heart, and she knows where the silver is easy to use. This mansion will be the place where she will live every day, maybe for a lifetime, half a lifetime, and it is naturally the best if she can cultivate it to her satisfaction.

"Then there is the construction period, we have to repair carefully, this construction period is very tight, Lao Jiu carefully calculated, as long as the arrangements are properly made, more rush to work, it is still in time, just the same, to the place where the fifth master is the master, the fifth master can not be delayed, and if you delay a day, you will miss a day's work!" Li Zhongzhi stopped talking and looked at Li Tian, Li Tian tapped his chin with two fingers and thought about it: "This house repair is a matter of the inner house, right?" If you don't bother him, it's better not to bother him, if there is something to come to me, this thing will annoy Uncle Lao, and it's the same, not only to catch up with the construction period, the craftsmen must be harder than usual, and it's summer again, one is the salary, the other is the food and soup, don't be harsh, I will come out of this silver. ”

"Five ladies don't worry," Li Zhongzhi seemed to have expected how Li Tian would reply, and looked at Li Tian with a smile and said: "You don't need five ladies to pay money, there are so many projects, it is enough to save a sip of money regardless of which place." There is one more important thing, this gentleman who repairs the garden, which of the five ladies thinks it is better? ”

"There is a man named Luo Zichu in Beicheng, does the uncle know?"

"You know, Luo Zi's initial cultivation of the garden is good, but it is too expensive, and the asking price is high, so it's him?"

"Well, the house he built is luxurious, and he thinks about it thoughtfully, and he ...... about his wages."

"It's okay, just spread it out everywhere and go in." Li Zhongzhi took over the words, Li Jiu sat opposite, kept smiling and nodding in agreement, Li Tian looked at the two of them, his eyebrows raised slightly, it seems that they are both good at pounding paste!

After sending Li Zhongzhi and the ninth brother Li Xiao'an away, Li Tian was slowly looking at the drawings, and Yue Nianghuang came in and said, "According to your repair, how much silver does the Huang family have to put in?" ”

"I don't know, I have to wait for Mr. Luo to come out of the picture, don't worry, there won't be much silver, there is an uncle and a ninth brother, and the things used from the Ministry of Industry and the palace must be of the highest quality, and if you don't waste it, you can save a lot of silver." Li Tian didn't raise his head, Yue Niang stood by the door, thought for a while and said, "What about the bad ones left?" Assigned to the Fourth Master's Mansion? ”

"How do I know!" Li Tian blocked Yue Niang depressedly.

After the new science and technology scholars finished performing the cumbersome etiquette, and then went to all kinds of state banquets, ministry banquets, and various banquets, the national ceremony came to an end, and the bunches of banquets among relatives and friends had already been waiting.

The congratulatory banquet of the Nanning County Royal Mansion is naturally very high, and there are not many people who can invite Sanding Jia in one go, and the congratulatory banquet of the Nanning County Royal Mansion is lively and makes Princess Jiang County red-faced.

Lin Yangfeng and Lin Yangwen beckoned the guests everywhere with the soles of their feet, Lin Yangfeng stood in the corner of the most spacious flower hall in the mansion, looking at the distinguished guests and talents in the hall, and the pride was overflowing, how can they say that this literary meeting in the capital can also rank in the top five? No, it can be in the top three!

Lin Yangfeng happily looked around the entire flower hall over and over again, but saw that in the corner of the flower hall, Jiang Hong was holding a cup, turning his back to everyone, and faintly looking at the flourishing flowers and trees outside the window. Lin Yangfeng hurriedly took a few steps, patted Jiang Hong's shoulder and said with a smile: "Why are you hiding here alone?" What about the couplet over there, how lively. "Cat flutter Chinese
