In the Listening Wind Pavilion, Hua Jingyun was listening to Steward Cheng's report on the situation for nearly two months, and the more he listened, the more his face became gloomy.

During his absence, the little princess was busy raising arrears and materials for the disaster in Minxian County, busy holding the New Year's Festival, and busy with so many scattered trivial matters, and was impeached twice after doing so many things? !

Steward Cheng finally concluded, "The princess has worked extremely hard during this time, and she has not rested for a day. ”

Hua Jingyun's face was solemn, and there was a touch of distress in her eyes, no wonder the princess slept so heavily at night, it turned out that she was too tired.

Steward Cheng said: "Your birthday banquet was organized by the princess, and the news released to the outside world is not to be pushed or invited, saying that those who impeached her and Xiao Xiangyou's people will also entertain you when they come to the door, there is nothing to fear." ”

"I also said that I wanted to show off in front of those people, I just wanted to see how those people couldn't get used to her and couldn't kill her."

"He said he would blind them with jealousy."

Hua Jingyun smiled, sure enough, it was the style of the little princess.

"In that case, let it be up to the princess's preference."

By the time he had finished dealing with the things he had done, it was noon, and it was the little princess who had just returned to the Jinyuan to greet him with angry eyes, and before he could speak, the little princess crossed her waist and began to denounce him.

"Do you know that this is what the government says about me now? My reputation has been shattered and I can't pick it up, and you will return my reputation. ”

Hua Jingyun stepped forward with a smile, bent down slightly and lowered his voice, "How can the reputation be sparse, they will only say behind their backs that the princess has a way to control her husband, and she is deeply favored by the king, so that the king's heart is tied to the princess, and she is very capable, and she will only envy the princess." ”

Wen Mianmian rolled her eyes widely, and her eyeballs were almost gone.

"May I ask the prince, when did this princess fall out of favor?"

Hua Jingyun smiled with a smile: "This king has a lot of money, if you rashly let the princess fall out of favor, wouldn't it be a pity that those silver coins are moldy, luxurious materials and beautiful jewelry, no one will wear it will lose its color, this king has always been thrifty and can only let the princess continue to be favored." ”

Wen Mianmian laughed dryly, she is now completely degenerate, and she has been corrupted by money very thoroughly.

"In order that your money will not become moldy, I have something to tell you after dinner."

Hua Jingyun raised her eyebrows, took the little princess's hand into the dining room, and after eating, Wen Mianmian opened her mouth and yawned again, and when she returned to the bedroom, she rolled into bed without any image.

"Do you know about the burning of Swallow Lane?"

Hua Jingyun sat on the edge of the bed, "Steward Cheng has already informed me. ”

Wen Mianmian got to the point, "I told you earlier, I want a street, and the place in Swallow Lane is very suitable, I have already entered the palace and mentioned it to my father, and my father means that when you and your second brother come back, you brothers will compete together." ”

"I really want to."

Hua Jingyun pondered for a moment and threw out a question, "Your plan is very good, if it is according to your original idea, there is no problem in saving money, but the investment in the early stage is not small, and it cannot be completed without three or five years, all the silver in the house is pressed, and there will be problems in the turnover of other places." ”

"I have a way to fix this."

Wen Mianmian is very confident in this, "If Swallow Lane can be obtained, I will first come up with a plan, where to build a house, where to build a pavilion, how to dispose of sewage, etc., and then divide these into pieces and subcontract them externally." ”

This is her world's bidding according to the bid, so that the pressure on the funds will be much less.

"For example, someone bids 10,000 taels for a house and it will be completed in two years; Someone offered 9,000 taels, and it would be completed in eight months a year, and I would hand over the house to the people behind me to build. ”

"I will pay 9,000 taels in installments, whether I will lose more or less is not my business, I just have to accept, of course, I have to specify the materials needed to build a house, and I don't care what price I buy."

"Do you understand what I mean?"

Hua Jingyun pondered for a moment, "You mean that if you want to earn our silver, you can only advance a part of the silver yourself, and we will pay it in installments." ”

"It's a lot less stressful."

Wen Mianmian stretched out his hand to hook his fingers, "I've been thinking about it for a long time, so you can promise me." ”

Faced with this kind of big event that almost exhausted all the money he had on hand, Hua Jingyun didn't nod immediately, "I still have to think about it and tell you the answer at night." ”

"Well, you have to think about it."

She also knew that this matter was too big, and the money spent was no longer a matter of hundreds of thousands of taels or millions of taels, and people who didn't have the courage would not dare to try it easily.

Hua Jingyun looked at her expectant little eyes and nodded her head, "Sleep." ”

After saying that, he turned his head and ordered, "Let Steward Cheng go and find a few big stewards and wait in Tingfeng Pavilion." ”

Then he also lay down beside Wen Mianmian, and he was tired recently.

At this time, in the Shuiyunju of the General's Mansion next door, Mrs. Wen was taking people to look at the courtyard.

Wen Lingxiao and Princess Yunyang got married, and Mrs. Wen was ready to renovate the courtyard, but unfortunately none of the opinions put forward by the invited people could satisfy them.

Ma Yutang, who followed over, looked around and said: "Uncle, my cousin's house is spacious and not old, and the materials are also exquisite, so there is no need to overhaul according to the nephew's view, just re-glazed tiles, and then paint them again, that is, the scenery in the courtyard will take some effort." ”

Mrs. Wen was a little embarrassed, "Can this work?" ”

How is it good to be so perfunctory and wronged the princess?

Ma Yutang continued: "This yard is very well built, the materials are solid, if it is overhauled, you may not be able to buy such materials, the outside only needs to be repaired simply, and the focus is still on the furnishings in the house." ”

"When the time comes, as long as the yard looks new and bright, it will be very elegant."

"In addition to this courtyard, my aunt is afraid that she will have to spend some time in the garden, I have been to see the garden in the house, and those flowers and plants grow too arbitrarily."

This is very subtle, Mrs. Wen understood what he meant, the general's mansion has not been rich in recent years, where is there spare money to clean up the garden in the mansion, to put it mildly, the flowers and plants in it are still left by the previous term of this house, in order to be afraid of the yard being deserted, she can only order people to water it frequently, as long as it does not die, it is lush.

"What you said makes sense, even if it is repaired, it can't just be repaired here."

Ma Yutang arched his hand, "If my aunt can trust my little nephew, my little nephew is willing to share my uncle's worries and take the errand of repairing the mansion." ”

"This..."Mrs. Wen was a little embarrassed, "You are also the son of the mansion now, where can you do such a thing." ”

Ma Yutang smiled, "Since I am the son of the house, I am a family, and I have done my best for my cousin's marriage, which can be regarded as a matter of duty." ”

"What's more, since I was a child, I have followed my second uncle in my family to build houses and repair yards, and I won't be there other than these."

He came to the house, and he was very upset, eating idle meals in the house all day, and he was very uneasy in his heart.

Mrs. Wen glanced at him gratefully, "In this way, I will work hard for you." ”
