Jia Cong, the God of Dancing Through the Red Mansion

Under normal circumstances, 30 taels would be enough to build a garden large enough for imperial concubines and concubines to see their relatives.

But such a garden is far from meeting the requirements of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang and others. Yuan Chun is now in an awkward position in the palace. So she started beating and scolding the servant's crazy behavior, so deep in her heart she still hoped that this visit would make her fall into the emperor's eyes again.

According to the little knowledge of the ladies in the inner house, to achieve this goal, of course the garden should be built as luxuriously as possible. Only in this way can it show the strength of the Jia family and increase Yuanchun's weight in His Majesty's heart.

Another point is that there are many mothers and daughters going home to visit their relatives this time. As the only one of the eight founders of the country, the Jia family has a surname of Liangyang, so of course it cannot be compared with those small households or other princes' residences.

Mother Jia will be strong all her life, and the older she gets, the more she values ​​face. She has already lost face because Jia Amnesty made a fuss about Zhang's dowry. How can she be willing to be trampled on this time!

For this reason, the budget should be at least 50.

This amount of money is not a small amount in any family, but Jia Mu and the others still underestimated it a little. As soon as the news of the family visit spread, the prices of capital building materials and some expensive ornaments rose by [-] to [-]% that day. With the passage of time, the price is still soaring all the way. I believe that the price of certain things may double several times in a while.

At that time, what the 50 taels of silver can do may not be able to keep up with the usual 30 million taels!

"What's the second family's idea about the money?" All the servants in the house were kicked out, leaving only Jia's mother, Jia Zheng, and Mrs. Wang's mother, son, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth again when she heard her mother-in-law's words. This old man had a lot of money in his hand, but he would rather bring it into the coffin than pay it out. Usually, he would never take advantage of any good things. Falling down, when she was about to bleed, she had to push her to come out, it was really deceiving!

Taking a deep breath, he really wanted to say a few words, but his lips moved a few times, looking at the silent but gloomy Jia Zheng beside him, he finally swallowed back the full of complaints.

She was backed by the Wang family, and although she used to look like her husband was the sky, she never took Jia Zheng seriously, and even did things that were wrong to Jia's mother.

But in recent years, she couldn't help but not be afraid. Jia Zheng's temper is getting more and more violent now. .

Seeing how ruthlessly he hit Baoyu last time, I believe he would only be more ruthless if he punched himself. No matter how hard she is the mother of the empress, Baoyu's own mother can't stop the violence of such a big man. I couldn't help but feel cold, even the maids who waited around me changed into some thick ones.

However, this man seems to be really a filial son. In the past few years, he has done more and more things, but he is still filial and obedient to Jia's mother. Now facing these two alone, Mrs. Wang can only bow her head!

But it's impossible to think of her as a victim and pay for the money. He lowered his head and his face was gloomy. After thinking for a while, he reluctantly said, "My daughter-in-law's money is not enough anyway, and the old man can't count on it." , but how can a family like ours lack rich and noble relatives? I think if you hear about your empress's happy event, you must show something for the future."

Speaking of which, I looked up at Mother Jia and saw that she seemed to agree with this idea. I felt contempt for a while, but a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and then said, "Old lady, I don't know if I can borrow some money from the treasury now." silver?"

Jia Zheng has become white, so he can only borrow it in the name of Jia Amnesty, but it is not possible without his post and seal, so Mrs. Wang asked this question.

Mother Jia's face froze when she heard this, and her complexion became gloomy again. She wanted to borrow it, but the seal and the famous stab in her hand had already been taken back by Jia Amnesty under pretext, so she wanted to borrow it now. It can't be done.

Rubbing a teacup in his hand, thinking about whether to mention it to Jia Shen, he couldn't make up his mind for a while.

After a while, Xu thought of something and replied, "It's getting more and more difficult to borrow money from the treasury now, so don't worry about it anymore." Although there was some dissatisfaction in his words, his tone was firm.

Although Mrs. Wang was a little unconvinced, she still answered yes in a low voice. Just as she was about to say something, she listened to Mother Jia's instructions, "Then Aunt Xue is your own sister. It will be more difficult when you think about it. Convenience." At this point, the look at Mrs. Wang was meaningful, "As for the Lin family, I originally wanted Lian'er and his wife to visit, but Lian's daughter-in-law is useless now. Your aunt is here to help her think of a way."

Now Lin Ruhai is the only person in charge of the Lin family. As a wife and sister-in-law, she can't even see this uncle, so what can she think of?Looking at Jia Zheng, who was still indifferent beside him, his neck stiffened, and finally he didn't say anything against it, but he didn't directly agree to anything either.

Mrs. Wang feels that she hasn't lived a happy life in the past few years. Sometimes she really thinks of a way to persuade Jia Zheng to separate from the big house directly. I believe that even if they move out of Rongguo Mansion directly, their life will not be better than now. worse.

But when you think about the rich private house of the old lady and Jia Zheng's status as a white body, he is unwilling to be reconciled to one thousand and ten thousand. Before she could put a smile on her face, word came out that she was rich and precious, and her daughter who was accused of being a good fortune was forced to become a half monk when she gave orders. , Even the dharma name was given.

Jinghui...Jinghui...when she thought of these two words, her heart ached and her liver ached. She tossed and turned at night and couldn't sleep, but there was nothing she could do!

Now that she has finally got such an opportunity to make her daughter stand out, she is naturally dedicated, and even if she sacrifices her life, she must make things complete.

Although Mother Jia also cares about this granddaughter who grew up with her, she is cold after all. Even Jia Amnesty, who crawled out of her stomach, is ruthless. This incident involved her face, and involved the future status of the entire Rongguo Mansion in the capital, which is naturally another way of saying it.

Moreover, in the past few years, she also felt that she was suppressed by her eldest son when she was doing things. Dafang was completely beaten to the ground, facing this eldest son who didn't want to be seen, as long as she lived for a day, he would not allow him to climb on top of her and be arrogant!

Everyone in the room had their own thoughts, and the atmosphere became a little dignified. Jia Zheng didn't know why he refused to say a word, and finally Mrs. Wang broke the stiff atmosphere, "Old lady, it's not the daughter-in-law who insists on tearing up the old man, it's just him It's too little for this uncle to only pay 5000 taels of silver!"

Mother Jia didn't think so, but her eldest son has become more and more out of control in recent years, and his temperament is getting more and more left as he gets older, and he has a real deficiency, and there is no one in the house who can subdue him Well, if you continue to ask him for money now, that person doesn't know what he can do, and she doesn't want to continue to lose face.

Although he was unhappy, he could only smooth things over for him in this situation, "Although the boss only paid 5000 taels, isn't it his intention to let you move the treasury? Don't be dissatisfied!"

Mrs. Wang snorted in her heart, so the money in the treasury doesn't belong to their second wife?And it’s not just big houses!

I don't understand why the old lady who didn't wait to see Dafang was so kind to help them today. After thinking about it, she didn't say anything, but she made up her mind. Followed by a little bit of brilliance, even the dead old woman in front of me should give her some good looks.

The reason why Jia Amnesty gave out the five thousand silver before was in the final analysis just to show his support for the empress to go back to the house to visit relatives, so as to fish out the private houses of Jiamu and the second room. Otherwise, he paid the money for such a doomed empress. You'd be stupid to do that!

Now the old lady and the second room are under the strict monitoring of their father and son, and they are not afraid of any more troubles from them, so they simply don't care about the small thoughts of the old lady and the second room, and walked out of Rongqing hall with their two sons. After returning to the boundary of Dafang, he asked Jia Lian, "Have you come up with any tricks these days?"

Jia Lian rubbed his hands, his face was flushed with excitement, he walked with wind, and his tone was much lighter, "Master, although the time is short, we have collected a lot of good things. Can make a small fortune."

Now the news of visiting relatives has just come out. Although many people know about it, except for a few quick-witted people, most people have not thought of the business opportunities here. Jia Lian is thinking about those people who are going to the south. It shouldn't be a problem, just thinking about it makes me feel good.

Well, it's just this one time, so you don't have to worry about the dowry for your daughter and money for your son's marriage in the future!

Seeing his bright eyes, Jia Cong was really afraid that this elder brother would have too much appetite, so he would accompany him in instead, so he had to remind, "Second elder brother also be careful, some things should be done in moderation."

Jia Lian was thrown cold water, and wanted to refute, but thought that this younger brother was always a little mysterious, and the news was well-informed. After thinking about it, he really turned his words a few times in his heart, and his face also showed some Flattery, "Brother Cong, did you hear some news? If there is anything wrong, please remember to remind brother, it's my brother who loves your little niece and your unborn nephew.

In addition, the older brother is not in vain for you, so he will naturally share [-]% of the profit this time with the younger brother. "

Jia Cong shook his head with a smile, he is not so shameless to take Jia Lian's hard-earned money for nothing, but this elder brother has been quite friendly to him since the last "dowry" incident, and he would get some from time to time. Good things were sent to him just for the sake of friendship, and we couldn't just watch him suffer.

"There is no news, but I think that an idler like my brother can hear some rumors in advance. Presumably there should be more people in this capital city who knew about it earlier than my brother. If you spread the stall too big, you will suffer some losses."

The reason why the emperor made such a big fight was for money, he would not be stingy if he wanted some broth, but if he wanted to get a piece of meat from it, he would probably be shot to death.

Jia Lian is not someone who can't listen to persuasion. Thinking that what Brother Cong said made sense, he gradually put away his previous ambitions and became more cautious in doing things. It was this caution that made him so This time I made a lot of money. When the matter is over, I will look back and look at those who thought there was an opportunity but lost their sense of normalcy, so that they had to backlog in their hands because they hoarded a large amount of goods, crying and crying that they could not be sold. I couldn't help but be grateful in my heart, and I was even more grateful to Brother Cong, and hurriedly collected many good things as thank you gifts, but this is all for later.

The father and son chatted for a while, and Jia Lian went out to work again. Ever since he knew that the Jia family still owed so much money to the state treasury and that he might become poor in the future, he was full of enthusiasm for making money. He went to see the son in Wang Xifeng's womb on time, and he didn't even take care of the time for eating and sleeping, so he really didn't have much time to stay here and chat.

Jia She and Jia Cong also left the mansion together, but the places they went to were different. Jia She invited a few friends to listen to an opera, and Jia Cong was going to Liulichang. A few days ago, Tufu deliberately mentioned it in his ear. His birthday is on October 28.

When Jia Cong saw the pitiful look he had been looking at his little milk dog looking for milk when he said that, he knew that this man was asking for a gift. He didn't show it on his face, but he was a little worried in his heart.

What he is not good at is giving birthday gifts to people. Over the years, when preparing for his father every year, I don’t know how many brain cells he died. Fortunately, my father is not picky. , or carving a small object can make him happy for a long time, and everyone knows how to show off.

This is the first time preparing for Tu Su, and I don't know if this person is also so easy to serve.

I got off the car at Liulichang, and walked around for a long time. I saw a lot of pens, inks, papers and inkstones, treasures and antiques, gold, silver, copper and iron, but there was nothing I liked.

No matter how rare the pen is, there is nothing unique about it. The ink on the market is not even half as good as the ancient inkstone he made by himself. However, an ancient inkstone from the previous dynasty looks good, but it is only for his own use. It is still not qualified to give someone, especially a prince.

In the end, I really had no choice but to pick and choose and only bought a piece of uncarved warm jade. The jade color is bright and smooth, the white is delicate, and it feels very good.

It's a pity that it's a bit small. Thinking that Tu Sui's zodiac is a pig, I can carve a piggy pendant with my own hands. It's fat and silly. Thinking about it, it's a perfect match for that person's shameless appearance. Well, that's it. Decided!

He smiled and played with it for a while, thinking that he still had a Shoushan Stone and a Chicken Blood Stone in his collection, which were just big enough to engrave a set of seals.

Then hand-painted a picture of birthday greetings, and added a set of ink that he made himself. Although it seems that it is still not the specification for the prince's birthday gift, it is rare that he did it by himself. It should be full of sincerity, right? !

After looking around, I found two paintings for Mr. Qiao. Although they are not masterpieces of famous artists, they have profound artistic conception, and the brushwork is also somewhat unique. It should be of some benefit to serve as a reference for the master.

I picked an ancient tripod for my father. He originally wanted to choose a few fans, but as soon as he said it, he saw the guy in front of him looking crazy, and then he remembered that it was already October. I’m already wearing winter clothes, so it’s really not the season to buy fans. Even ancient fan stores won’t display them in this inappropriate season, otherwise people won’t spend a lot of money on things that make people feel cold when they look at them. purchase.

Fortunately, he was not too thin-skinned, so he didn't feel too embarrassed. He carefully picked out a three-legged golden toad tripod. It looked like something from the Han Dynasty, but he felt a little strange. Thinking about it, he had seen too little of it. Some, if Dad was here, he wouldn't have so many questions.

Let the young servant who followed hold the things, and walked out of Liulichang slowly. Just about to get into the carriage, he accidentally saw that the person next to him seemed familiar, but the beard of the other person was too thick, covering his face , some can't remember.

Seeing the other party's tattered clothes, I probably don't know this kind of person!I was a little puzzled in my heart, and saw that the man lowered his head and glanced left and right from time to time, as if he was hiding his guilty conscience, so he couldn't help ordering a clever boy to follow him.

The author has something to say: After posting the article yesterday, I threw myself on the bed and fell asleep. When I was in a daze, I received a call from my parents saying that they had arrived. Then I woke up and barely ate something, and then continued to work. Sleeping, until this morning, my brain hurts from sleeping... (^o^)/~,,

Hey, little angels, don’t envy me being at home alone. It’s not so easy to live without my mother cooking. Thinking about the Chinese New Year, the nearby restaurants seem to be closed, I want to cry/(ㄒoㄒ )/~~

But it’s true that I’m free (^o^)/~
