Well, now that the general location has been selected, tomorrow I will invite someone to survey, draw a picture, and then start work as soon as possible, so that I can welcome my mother back home to visit her relatives! "

Jia Zheng probably felt that praise alone was not enough, and Jia Baoyu had to be pulled out for comparison to appear solemn!

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"I don't know which expert Second Uncle plans to invite to design and build the garden?"

When the smile subsided, Jia Qing asked Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng said on his forehead, "I'm going to invite two wise old men from the Ministry of Industry to design and build it."

Jia Qingxi said: "Is there an old gentleman named Shan Ziye among them?"

Jia Zheng asked in surprise, "How do you know?"

Jia Qing said with a smile: "I've heard about this old man's name for a long time. He is a leader in the garden construction business. If Second Uncle invites him, I think we will have a garden for our mother-in-law!"

When Jia Zheng heard this, he couldn't help remembering it in his heart.

After the matter was agreed, everyone sat and chatted together, and occasionally listened to the flattery of a few Qing customers.

Jia Qing originally thought that the topic would soon shift to the money spent on building the family-speaking villa, but until they broke up, Jia Zheng didn't bring up this issue, and Jia Qing just didn't know.

The answer to this question was not revealed until late on the third day.

Jia Qing had just met Leng Zixing who was reporting to him the situation of the wine shop and restaurant, and wanted to keep him for dinner, when he heard that Jia Lian was coming.

"If the second master has something to do, you should be busy first, and the younger one will go back first."

Leng Zixing was very knowledgeable. He knew that there were many things going on in Jia's house recently, so he didn't dare to delay.

Jia Qing also let him go. He was sent out and Jia Lian was invited into the outer study.

"Second Brother Lian is so busy these days, why are you here?"

"It's really busy, but fortunately, it's almost done now.

By the way, because of building a garden for the eldest sister, the mansion moved your original residence to the old lady's yard, and the wife specially asked me to tell you. "

The entire East Courtyard will be occupied, and all the places that should be demolished must be demolished, and Jia Qing's side courtyard is no exception.

Jia Qing said with a smile: "Second brother Lian came here at this time to talk to me about this, right?"

Jia Lian chuckled and said, "Of course not, I have a big matter to discuss with you."

Waved his hand to let the tea-filling maid go down, Jia Qing waited for Jia Lian to speak.

Jia Lian said: "The second younger brother of Meng Pozhai is also here today, can you approve the design blueprints planned and built by Mr. Shan Ziye?"

Jia Qing said with a smile: "Naturally, Shan Ziye is worthy of being a master of famous gardens, if it is built according to his blueprints, the family's family's villa of the eldest sister would be no less than a royal garden.

Even more scenery! "

Jia Lian said happily: "That's right, the master said so too. Then second brother, in your opinion, how much money will it take to build it?"

Jia Qing narrowed his eyes, and said: "If you want to build the garden, and buy everything you need, I'm afraid you won't be able to get four to five million taels of silver."

Although Jia Qing estimated that building such a large garden between the two mansions would only require more than 20 taels of silver.However, this is just to build the garden, and it doesn't count adding things to it after it's built, and it doesn't count the corruption of ink among the people in the mansion!

The subordinates here don't just refer to subordinates!

But Jia Qing knew that when Jia Qiang went to Gusu to buy opera actors, she took 3 taels of silver from the Zhen family!

Come to think of it, there might not be much left in the end.What a prodigal way of managing money!

Therefore, Jia Qing gave them an estimate of 50 million taels, which is not an exaggeration at all.

Perhaps, it was because of the money at the time.This time, there is no such "windfall"!

Sure enough, Jia Lian's face became embarrassed, and said: "Well, how can there be so much spare money in the mansion, besides, we have to prepare for the expenses of the elder sister's family visit..."

Jia Qing asked, "Then how much are you going to plan?"

Jia Lian said, "Only 20 taels."

Jia Qing said: "Well, it's okay, so if I add some more here, it's almost the same..."

Jia Lian was even more embarrassed, and he knew that this was why Jia Zheng and Jia Amnesty couldn't come, and he was the only one allowed to come forward.

"Second brother got it wrong. The 20 taels means that each of our two mansions will contribute half of it, making a total of 20 taels. This is the master's opinion. I am here today to discuss this matter with you. Do you think it will work?" ?” Jia Lian had no choice but to say cheekily.

In fact, he hasn't said what his father Jia She thinks: I heard that Brother Qing has made a lot of money in business these years, and there are few people in his house, and there are not many places to spend money.For such a big happy event in our family this time, he should pay more money...

Fortunately, Jia Zheng wasn't so shameless, otherwise, he wouldn't come to this errand even if he was killed.

Seeing that Jia Qing was silent after speaking, Jia Lian thought that Jia Qing was dissatisfied with this method, so he said, "Second brother, what's the problem? The master said, if you have any difficulties, just say it, and we can discuss it.

But, second brother, you have to understand that our house has indeed spent a lot of money these years, and we really can't afford it.Otherwise, if the eldest sister becomes a concubine, who wouldn't want to make the garden better, so that not only will the concubine's face look good, but our faces will also look good, right..."

He only thought that Jia Qing thought that they did not pay enough, but he did too much.

Jia Qing said: "You are so poor?"

Jia Lian felt that his face was ruthlessly ravaged by Jia Qing, but he had no choice but to say: "There is no other way, we have to keep the money for the family's family expenses and family expenses. The old lady has money, but it's what she saved all her life. Tiji, who dares to worry about it? It's not easy to sell the property, or the empress's face will be even worse.

So, it had to be like this.

Fortunately, the master has already done the calculations, as long as there are 20 taels of silver, the garden can still be built, as long as we survive this, hehe, life will not be so urgent..."

He probably thought of the glory of being the uncle of the country in the future.

Jia Qing ruthlessly said: "20 taels is definitely not enough! The money has not been spent on the right way, but half of it will be discounted first. When the time comes, don't talk about welcoming big sister home, I'm afraid I won't let big sister lose face It's all good!"

Jia Lian was taken aback for a moment, but then realized what Jia Qing was saying, and said firmly, "Second brother, don't worry, I will definitely not let anyone steal money. Hmph, we have to live frugally in order to meet our eldest sister's relatives. If they still dare to stretch out their hands indiscriminately, they really think my Jia family has no family law, right?"

What he said was quite powerful, Jia Qing shook his head and said indifferently: "You can't stop this matter!"

"Uh......"

Jia Lian felt unable to communicate with Jia Qing. If you suspect too much, just tell me, why do you keep thinking of too little?If there is money, who can save money on this?

"Second brother, stop playing around with me, just tell me what you think!"

All the foreshadowing was in place, Jia Qing didn't want to talk nonsense anymore, stood up, walked to the center, turned his back to Jia Lian and said:

"Eldest sister has rarely met the emperor's grace in so many years, so she can go home to visit her relatives once. We have to do everything well, so as to prevent relatives and friends from laughing at our dignified government, and to prevent eldest sister from being in the palace. Can't hold my head up!

You go back and tell your second uncle that since the mansion really can't afford enough money to build a family-saving villa, our two mansions were originally a family, and my mother is also my eldest sister.If you can trust me, let me handle the construction of the family-saving villa!
