Regardless of whether Jia Mugao was happy or not, Jia Cong decided so happily.

When the sisters moved into the Grand View Garden, they didn't let Jia Baoyu in.

Anyway, in the future, the Grand View Garden, I have the final say, and the guards here are all up to me, and when the time comes, the corner gate will be closed, and I can't get in if I want to.

If you want to enter the Grand View Garden, you must get the consent of the guards, and no one can enter without permission.

Jia Mu looked at Jia Cong helplessly.

This bastard boy, this is a made up his mind not to let Baoyu enter the garden, and there will be a lawsuit when the time comes.

I usually look at this kid as easy-going, but I really have to make up my mind, but no one can question it.

These are not worry-free winners.

If you really want to talk about it, Brother Cong is also right to do this.

It's just that Baoyu, a child, likes to play with girls since he was a child, and if he doesn't let them be together, he will definitely make a fuss.

Thinking of this, I felt irritable in my heart.

waved his hand impatiently and said, "That's it, I don't care about this matter, you can do it yourself, okay go and get busy with yours, it's the right thing to cover the garden as soon as possible." ”

Seeing the old lady compromise, Jia Cong couldn't help but smile in his heart.

"Old lady, then the grandson will go down and arrange for someone to prepare for the construction."

Leaving the old lady's yard, Jia Cong found Jia Lian with the design drawings, and the two discussed for more than half an hour, hastily drew up a plan, and made a list of materials according to the budget.

Starting tomorrow, Jia Lian will be in charge and will begin to recruit people in the two prefectures.

When the craftsmen of Shanziye and the Ministry of Industry were in place, they immediately started construction, first demolishing the courtyard walls of Huifangyuan and Xifu, and doing some preliminary preparations.

Jia Cong took the purchase list and came to Xue's house alone.

Since it had just passed the New Year, Xue Pan had not yet led the caravan south, and when he saw Jia Cong coming, he hurriedly welcomed him in.

"Brother Cong, you came here just in time, we were just about to eat, let's have a few drinks in a while, please come inside."

Jia Cong smiled and said, "It's no problem to drink, I'm here to ask Brother Xue for help this time." ”

Xue Pan patted his chest and said: "Brother Cong's business is my brother's business, as long as my brother can help, I will definitely not refuse." ”

When the two came to the house, Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai also stood up to greet each other.

Xue Baochai said with a smile: "Brother Cong is really greedy for long legs, we just got ready for dinner, and you came over." ”

Aunt Xue said: "Brother Cong'er is here, you came here at this time, you shouldn't have eaten yet, right?" Let's sit down and eat together. ”

Jia Cong smiled and said: "Auntie guessed correctly, I really haven't eaten yet, I was called over by the old lady as soon as I came back, and I will ask my aunt for a host today." ”

Aunt Xue said, "You sit down first, drink with your brother Xue first, and I'll let the kitchen add a few dishes." ”

Jia Cong was not polite, and sat down directly beside Xue Baochai.

Xue Baochai didn't care, put the bowl in front of him in front of Jia Cong, and asked Ying'er to get a pair of bowls for herself.

He looked sideways at Jia Cong and asked, "Brother Cong, the old lady is looking for you, it won't be because of the princess's provincial affairs, right?" ”

Jia Cong nodded and said: "It's really because of this incident, the family also wants the eldest sister to come back to save the family, so they discussed building the provincial family courtyard, and Sister Bao also knows about this matter?" ”

Xue Baochai said: "Well, my aunt came over a few days ago and talked to my mother, I happened to be next to me, and I listened to a few words, saying that I was going to occupy your Huifangyuan together, is it because of this matter to find you?" ”

Jia Cong said: "Almost, not only the garden, but also the silver, this provincial family, they have a budget of 800,000 taels of silver, they don't want to pay more, so they pulled me on." ”

Xue Baochai said: "Your Ningrong Erfu has been very close, it can be said that one is prosperous, one is lost, and the Cong brothers themselves are also the descendants of Rongfu, and they have succeeded to Ningfu, so calculated, the two families are closer, let you pay, it is reasonable to say." ”

Xue Pan said: "Brother Cong, how much silver did they let you pay?" ”

Jia Cong smiled and said: "Each of them will pay 50,000, and the public will pay 150,000, a total of 350,000, and let me pay the rest." ”

"it!"

When Xue Pan heard this, he directly burst into foul language.

"What do these people think, don't they take you as the wronged leader? That's a bit too much, isn't it? ”

Xue Baochai was also a little stunned, looked at Jia Cong and asked, "Brother Cong, did you agree?" ”

Jia Cong said: "I didn't agree at first, but then I agreed, I took the management of the provincial family's courtyard, and after the concubine was provincial, the garden would be ours, but I would pay 800,000 taels myself, and I wouldn't let them pay." ”

Xue Pan said: "Brother Cong, your decision is a bit hasty, you are such a smart person, why did you do the lake this time?" 800,000 taels of silver, in exchange for a management right, is really not worth it. ”

Xue Baochai also nodded and said, "This time my brother is right, Brother Cong, your decision is really not wise, this time it is really a loss." ”

Jia Cong smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I don't miss this money, in the future, the courtyard will be built, even if it is ours, when you pass the door in the future, there will be a place to play." ”

Xue Baochai's face turned red, and he said "phew": "I'm starting to talk again, although you're not bad for money, you can't be too big." ”

Jia Cong said: "Don't worry, my brother raised you, and I will definitely not let Sister Bao live a hard life." ”

Xue Pan laughed and said: "Brother absolutely believes in this, Brother Cong's ability to make money, what my brother admires is the five-body throw, just now you said to let your brother help, what do you want your brother to do for you?" ”

When Xue Baochai heard this, he also looked at Jia Cong, his eyes full of doubts.

Jia Cong smiled and said: "Now the provincial family courtyard, I am responsible for the construction, all kinds of materials need to be purchased, if you buy it from the capital, the price is too expensive, I plan to let my caravan, and Brother Xue's caravan, be responsible for helping me buy all the materials." ”

Xue Pan said: "This matter is simple, my brother agreed, you give me a copy of the purchase list, I will directly send the horse to the south, first prepare the materials, in the next two days, I will take the caravan south, and help you transport it back as quickly as possible." ”

Jia Cong said with a smile: "Then brother thank you Brother Xue, when this matter is over, brother will treat you, and the place will be chosen by Brother Xue." ”

Xue Pan said: "This is all a trivial matter, let's drink it first." ”

The two picked up their wine glasses, touched them, and drank them all.

Xue Baochai picked up a duck paw and put it in Jia Cong's bowl.

"Brother Cong, this is a secret sauce duck paw, how about you taste it?"

Jia Cong picked it up and took a bite, chewed it slowly for a while, the taste was indeed quite special, and this duck paw was particularly fat and delicious, much better than the duck paw I had eaten before.

"This sauce duck paw is really delicious, delicious, and more fat and meaty than what I have eaten before."

Xue Baochai said with a smile: "Of course, it is very troublesome to make this dish, you have to put the duck you bought back on an iron plate first, and fasten it with a cage to make it stick out its head."

Then heat the iron plate, the duck's hot feet hurt, plus it is too hot, so I want to drink water, at this time put the sauce next to the cage, the duck will drink hard, the feet are very hot, it needs water, so the sauce is passed to the paws.

After a few days, the duck paw will become fat and meaty, and after it is made, the taste will be more delicious. ”

I didn't expect this dish to be so troublesome, but the sauce duck feet made by this way are indeed more delicious.

"It's really tastier when you do do it, but it's too troublesome and feels a little cruel."

Xue Pan smiled: "I still believe what others say, Brother Cong says so, brother Cong doesn't believe it, isn't it more cruel when you kill people on the long street?"

However, that time really opened my brother's eyes, and Brother Cong was like a peerless general in that romance. ”

Jia Cong laughed and said, "How can it be the same?" In the face of the enemy, either you die or I live, but you can't keep your hands, otherwise you must be unlucky, so I never leave my hands on the battlefield. ”

Xue Baochai said: "Brother Cong, try not to do it yourself in the future, when you listen to my brother, it is all strange and scary, and it makes people worry about you." ”

Jia Cong smiled: "Well, I listened to Sister Bao, and I will try not to make a move in the future." ”

At this time, Aunt Xue led a few maids up, brought four or five dishes, and then sat down to eat together.

After dinner and a conversation together, Jia Cong got up and said goodbye.

Back in Ningguo Mansion, Jia Cong went directly to Ping'er's courtyard.

Ping'er stepped forward to help him take off his coat and serve him to wash up, and then the two went to bed to talk.

"Master, what is the old lady looking for you to do?"

Jia Cong said: "The matter of the imperial concubine's provincial relatives has been decided, and the family will build a provincial villa, so that the eldest sister can go home and take a look, the place over there in the Rong Mansion is not big enough, and we will occupy our Huifang Garden together." ”

Ping'er was a little surprised and said, "Ah, how big a garden does it have to be repaired, did the master agree?" ”

Jia Cong said: "It's about the concubine, I can't refuse, even if no one looks at it, I have to look at the emperor's face, the emperor canonized the eldest sister, and he also wants to win me over, if I don't take the eldest sister seriously, then the emperor hasn't done useless work?"

In that case, the emperor will also think that I don't know what to do, don't give him face, and I will have a mustard for me, then the gains outweigh the losses, I must now support the eldest sister, the emperor will be happy when he sees it, and he will trust me more. ”

Ping'er said: "It's really like this, the lord and the eldest girl are both prosperous and lossy, and the emperor will win over the lord, and the lord must continue." ”

Jia Cong said: "This time not only to go out of Huifangyuan, but also to give out silver, originally they asked me to pay 450,000 taels, but then I thought about it, and simply went out myself, a total of 800,000 taels."

When the provincial villa is built, the management will belong to our house, which will be similar to our garden. ”

Ping'er looked at Jia Cong with an incredulous expression, and said suspiciously: "Master, what do you think this time?" Even if you pay 450,000 taels, it's better than 800,000 taels, right? Is the right to manage that garden worth 350,000 taels of silver? ”

Jia Cong said with a smile: "It can't be counted like this, the garden will be ours in the future, I will send someone to manage it, and there are also people guarding the corner gates on both sides, and outsiders will not be allowed to enter."

I will let the girls move into the garden, we can also find a yard we like, and when we are interested, we can go in and live together for a few days, I have already seen the blueprints, if it is really built, it will definitely be worth the money, and you will know when the time comes. ”

Ping'er said: "Master, that's 800,000 taels of silver, you are really willing, although our family is not short of silver, but we can't be too big." ”

Jia Cong smiled: "I know, housekeeper, I won't be in the future." ”

Ping'er smiled: "you, I'm not your housekeeper, but Miss Lin is?" ”

Jia Cong said: "Sister Lin hasn't passed the door yet, now you are the housekeeper's mother-in-law, even if Sister Lin passes the door in the future, she can't take care of everything, this family has to be managed by you, just put you under Sister Lin, just like the second wife and sister-in-law Feng did before." ”

When Ping'er heard this, she felt a burst of joy in her heart.

Since he followed Jia Cong, he began to give him a housekeeper, and the whole family was up to him.

After so many years, I have become accustomed to the feeling of being in power and being on top.

If you suddenly don't let yourself take care of anything, you will definitely feel uncomfortable in your heart, and you won't be able to get used to it for a while, so it's great to be able to continue to take care of the house.

"Master, can Miss Lin agree?"

Jia Cong smiled and said: "Don't worry, you are my great hero, thanks to you for so many years, you have helped me manage my family business, so that I have no worries, so that I can rest assured that I can work hard outside."

I have already told Sister Lin about this matter, and she has agreed, and when the time comes, I will ask her for instructions on major matters, and let her look at the accounts of the family regularly. ”

Ping'er looked at Jia Cong affectionately and said, "Master, thank you, it is really a blessing to be able to follow Master in this life." ”

Jia Cong said with a smile: "Having Sister Ping'er by my side is also my greatest luck in this life, you must come back to my housekeeper in the next life, I can't do without you." ”

"Master!"

Ping'er shouted emotionally, took the initiative to hug Jia Cong's neck, raised her head and kissed her.

Feeling the enthusiasm of the beauty, Jia Cong lowered his head and kissed it······

······

Early the next morning, the two satisfied, looked at each other and smiled, got up and changed their clothes.

After freshening up, they came to Jia Cong's yard for breakfast.

When the mandarin duck saw the two of them coming in, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "I said last night, why didn't the master come back?" It turned out that I was seduced by your little hoof. ”

Ping'er said with a smile: "Mandarin duck, you haven't seduceed the master, everyone is half a catty, don't say anything." ”

Jia Cong smiled: "You two are really, how ugly it is to say that seduction, we are always above board, but when you say it, it seems to be sneaky." ”

The mandarin duck stepped forward and hugged Jia Cong's arm, and laughed in a low voice: "Master, have you stolen less?" Don't think we don't know, the family is so big that we can't hide it if we want to. ”

When Ping'er heard this, she covered her mouth and snickered.

Jia Cong hugged the little face of the mandarin duck, rushed to the small mouth, and kissed it fiercely.

The mandarin duck said embarrassedly: "Master, what are you doing, let people see it." ”

Jia Cong smiled: "Master is going to plug your mouth." ”

As he spoke, he lowered his head and kissed him again.
