Chapter 140: Reward
The maids were happily discussing who would be assigned to their masters, guessing who would give gifts to Grandma Lian. Wang Xifeng naturally doesn't care about these trivial things. It's just a matter of her words, so it's worth the effort. She has other things to do right now.
Several girls here have chosen their favorite houses, but as mentioned earlier, this garden was built for ornamentation, and they are not ready to live there for a long time. It's okay for everyone else, just clean up a little. But Lin Daiyu has always been frail, and this time she chose the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, which is a bamboo forest and a spring, and the scenery is quiet, but it is too cool. It's just that they chose to choose everything, and Mother Jia also knew Daiyu's temperament, she just liked the quietness of this kind of bamboo fence, and she didn't want to violate Daiyu's heart, so she asked Wang Xifeng to clean up more in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, but don't let the cold air enter the house.
Therefore, Wang Xifeng put a little more effort into this, and Jia Zheng gave him a tight time, but he was a little busier than usual.
Jia Lian moved back to the small courtyard from the outer study for only ten days, the two of them were newly married, it was the time when the love was strong, and they couldn't wait to be entangled together every day, seeing that she was busy with things outside, she didn't have time to take care of him, and she couldn't help but be a little dissatisfied, "Where are there so many requirements, there are many courtyards in the Grand View Garden, and the Tubi Villa and the Cave Jingxi Pavilion are not also very good, and they are also in line with Sister Lin's temperament." β
Wang Xifeng glanced at him with disgust, "What do you know?" Those two places went to the back, and it was not convenient to enter and exit, and the old lady did not let them choose from them at all. Besides, there are other courtyards, Baoyu chooses it, and it is impossible for the old lady to let Sister Lin change it. β
Jia Lian was swept away by her delicate little eyes, her body softened, she squeezed to her side and sat down, put one hand around Wang Xifeng's shoulder, and said flatteringly: "The second grandmother is still thoughtful, I forgot that these two places are the closest." β
Wang Xifeng slapped him away with one hand, "Don't get tired of me here, you have the kung fu to hurry up and urge the craftsmen in the garden to quickly finish grinding the stone engraving and go out, but a few inscriptions have dragged on for so long." From Shangyuan to now, everyone is going to move in on the 22nd, and if something goes wrong with me, see if I don't settle accounts with Jia Yan's supervisors! β
Jia Lian laughed and made trouble with Wang Xifeng for a while, and only after taking advantage of it did he get up and go to the outer courtyard satisfied. It's not that he doesn't have a business, he is in charge of the affairs of the outer courtyard of Jiafu, but Jia Lian is not like Wang Xifeng who has to grasp everything in his hands, and he can't tolerate sand in his eyes, most of his things are handed over to the clan servants to do, but he is also happy to go out with some silver.
Jia Lian first went to the Grand View Garden to observe the progress, urged them a few words, and then went to Jia Zheng's study to report the situation to him.
Originally, there were happy events in the imperial palace recently, and Jia Zheng should be in a good mood, but when Jia Lian went over, he found that he was not very interested. When I heard him say that everything was going well and that the sisters and Baoyu would definitely be able to move in on time, they only replied lightly that they knew.
Jia Zheng has always been upright, and has little contact with juniors, and Jia Lian is also in awe of him, although he is curious, he doesn't dare to ask more, so he quit.
As soon as I went out, I grabbed a small guy and came over, "What happened outside today?" β
The little guy followed Jia Zheng to the yamen, and it was naturally clear what was happening outside, and Jia Zheng was not very happy when he came back, they all knew it, and when they heard Jia Lian ask, they said it cleanly.
The little servant said angrily, "Isn't it just the matter of the Grand View Garden!" Our mother just said that she would let her sisters live in the provincial hospital, and the Wu Guifei and Zhou Guiren all followed suit, and the emperor praised the harem for cherishing things and loving things, making the best use of them, and rewarding a group of people! Obviously, it was our family first, but it turned out to be in that group of people. A group of shameless people know how to learn from others, and they have the ability to think of their own ideas! There are still people in the yamen today who congratulate the master, how do you know that we have suffered a loss! β
Jia Lian didn't expect there to be such a show, he thought he was afraid that the Grand View Garden would be wasted, how could he know that there was still a harem. It's just that although he was called Uncle Guo in private, Jia Lian still felt that these things were too far away from him, so he only listened to one ear, and scolded a few words angrily, except for sending some silver in on time, he couldn't interfere in the harem.
When I went back, I told Wang Xifeng about this as a talking point.
Wang Xifeng didn't have him to talk to, and said sarcastically: "I thought that the whole court was busy with pox, but I didn't expect that there were still people who had the heart to put it in other people's homes!" What a thing that can't be put on the table! β
Jia Lian thought about it, "Our families have been comparing each other since the establishment of the provincial pro-hospital, how long has it been since the provincial pro-family was established?" It's not surprising to have more to focus on. β
Seeing that Wang Xifeng was still angry on his face, he explained her and said: "Even if only our mother has made a will, it is just a few more praises from the emperor. β
Wang Xifeng glared at him, "What does this have to do with the Qing'an Hou Mansion?" Isn't it Xie Dusi's own business, the emperor just rewarded him. I heard that he was given a knighthood because of this, and there was no shortage of gold, silver, jewelry, and brocade clothes, if it weren't for Madame Hou's fate, she would have had more than one lady. β
Jia Lian laughed at her for being naΓ―ve, "Do you really think he came up with it himself?" Why didn't so many doctors find out when he found cowpox? I can't say how much the Qing'an Hou Mansion has helped in the back! It is estimated that Qing'anhou wants to give this little son some background and give him a credit. "Look at other people's fathers, and then think about their own fathers, Jia Lian will feel sorry for himself.
Wang Xifeng thought about it, but "You guessed it yourself, right?" There is no evidence, and the emperor does not necessarily know. β
"Everyone knows this, Xie Jingxing is a few years older than Baoyu, and he was a well-known gentleman when he was in Beijing, can he have this ability? Everyone thinks about it, the emperor will also praise Qing'anhou's godson and so on, who knows that it is just a few words, and the reward is over with some gold, although the amount is a lot, Qing'anhou still cares about this thing? Besides, Xie Jingxing's title can't be passed on to future generations, and the transaction of Qing'an Hou is not a loss! β
Wang Xifeng compared his own mother, and felt that he was not so at a loss, and suddenly felt a lot better, and he also had the heart to laugh with Jia Lian.
They felt that the Qing'an Hou Mansion had suffered a big loss, but they felt that they had taken a big advantage.
As Jia Lian said, Xie Jingxing never showed any interest in medical skills, and suddenly made such a big discovery, even his own father had to doubt it.
