Daimei Yuyan Xiaoxiang soul

Last time, when the draft was over, many noble masters were added to Shuimeng Palace. Originally, the new favourites should be the main focus. Feng Xiande noble concubine.Such a moment caused a wave in the harem and Jia's mansion.

Let's talk about this Jia's mansion, after hearing the news, the whole mansion naturally rejoiced, especially Mrs. Wang, the brilliance on her face now can be seen three miles away, and Jia's mother even asked Sister Feng to add an extra month's monthly money to her. The servants, and then the banquet, and the theater troupe were found, and there was a commotion for three days and three nights.

It’s just that after the quarrel, I was also worried, because the next thing in the mansion was to build a family-saving villa for the concubine who came to visit her relatives. The expenses went into a lot of Sister Feng's home decoration, so after checking the account, Sister Feng had to take the account book and go to Jia Muhe and Mrs. Wang to discuss it.

When Sister Feng went, it happened that Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang were in the room of Jiamu. Sister Feng thought, that's good, at least I don't have to run too much by myself, so in the past, I only saluted Jiamu, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang. : "I've seen the old lady, the eldest lady, and the second lady."

When Jia Mu saw Sister Feng coming, she said with a smile: "I was going to let the mandarin ducks come to find you this time, but you just came. Could it be that you have got a good ear?"

Sister Feng said with a smile: "If the old lady wants to see me, it's better if she is thinking about it. I can feel it now. It can be seen that I am Monkey King and I can't get out of the palm of your Buddha, old lady."

After hearing this, Jia Mu laughed loudly and said, "You Feng Lazi, you are the only one who can say this, but it makes me feel comfortable to hear it." Then she said: "I have nothing else to do with you, the main thing is For the matter of the imperial concubine's upcoming family visit, you also know that this matter is the top priority in the mansion now, and it is the royal grace. Whatever you say, we can't neglect the empress. Therefore, this matter must be the top priority right now, don't Put those trivial things aside first, and don't worry about them."

Mrs. Wang nodded and agreed: "The old lady is very right, and the daughter-in-law thinks so too."

Mother Jia glanced at Mrs. Wang: "It's best for you to think this way, so don't just have some thoughts that you have or don't have. Now we don't ask about the usual in our mansion. After all, we are also relatives of the state. If you provoke too much People caught the handle on the matter, but it really hurt the empress."

Mrs. Wang, Nuonuo agreed.

Seeing this, Sister Feng hurriedly said: "The old lady said it formally, and the grandson's daughter-in-law is here for this matter."

Jia Mu nodded: "I know you are reliable, and I understand it naturally, so let's talk, but what's the matter?"

Sister Feng nodded and said: "The old lady doesn't know something. The imperial decree has been issued in this palace, which is a blessing for the mansion, so naturally I can't deal with it, so the granddaughter-in-law checked the account books as soon as she returned to the room, and at the same time predicted For a moment, as the old lady said, this is a top priority, so there is no way to neglect it, so I pondered it carefully.

The concubine's family villa should not be neglected, and it can't be separated from our Duke's mansion. It would be disrespectful if it were separated. The Xingqin Villa is naturally built in this place connected to the Rongguo Mansion, so the grand-daughter-in-law also took people around, and then thought, those houses in the southeast were originally old, and they were not used all the year round, so they can only be folded and used. I got the land, and my daughter-in-law also let the Feng Shui master see it, saying that the place is very good and beneficial to the nobles, so I thought, fold it there, and then buy the houses and land of the people in the southeast direction, so that you can see The mother-in-law villa will not lose face of the empress, but it is estimated that it will take at least ten acres of her to build a family-saving villa. "

After listening to Sister Feng's words, Jia Mu smiled with satisfaction: "I don't worry about what you do. If that's the case, this method will follow your instructions."

Mrs. Wang also nodded and said: "Yes, this is also very good."

But Sister Feng said: "The old lady and the wife don't know. In this way, the money in this mansion has to be prepared separately. Among other things, our southeast corner is only one mu and three points. If the plan is based on the mu plan, you still need to buy the eight mu and seven cents. The old lady also knows the price of this land. Here in Jinling, this land is already priceless in the market. If I can't buy it, it's still conservative. I still want the second master to deal with the people in the government office, and to be kind and powerful. But in this way, it costs more than 1 taels of silver. I roughly calculated the house cost of the indemnifier. According to the normal calculation, only the resettlement fee would cost no less than 1 taels. Then we demolished our southeast backyard. Naturally, those things can’t be used, so we need to buy new materials. First of all, I did some calculations with the second master yesterday. According to the current market price, the bricks and tiles of this house, then artificial rockery stones, and artificial streams, plus wood, the rare house needs that kind of glutinous rice The pulp, then the labor, and the number of flowers and plants in the yard, etc., if you calculate it carefully, it will cost 80 million taels. I am thinking that a batch of red sandalwood has been imported into the mansion last year. It was originally intended to rebuild the country. The ones used by the government can be used now, and it is said that there are still some agarwood in the Ningguo mansion last time, and they can be used after discussion. Ten thousand taels is still required, and I counted the silver in the warehouse and checked the money in the account book, and now it is only 10 taels at most, so there is a full difference of 60 taels."

Mother Jia nodded after hearing this: "It seems that the money is really needed." Then she looked at Sister Feng and said, "The rents in the countryside have been collected."

Sister Feng nodded: "This year's harvest is worse than in previous years, so the rent has been collected, but it is only less than half. I asked the second master to collect it every day, but even if it is collected, it is only [-] yuan. Money, I’m afraid it’s still a drop in the bucket.”

After hearing this, Mother Jia pondered for a while and said, "This empress's business is a big one, and it must not be delayed, especially on the day of visiting relatives, everything from food to use needs to be paid for. It seems that the money really needs to be paid for." Forget it." He pondered for a while again: "Since that's the case, how about it, I still have a little money here, although it's not much, but I can make up 5 taels, and you two should also think about the other things. It seems that there is also 5 taels, the second room. This is considered a great joy in your house, so you can't miss it, and you should also offer 5 taels. Tomorrow, I will come forward to discuss with that brother Zhen. I can also scrape together a few tens of thousands of taels, it’s just leftovers, but it’s important to think of a way.”

Sister Feng nodded: "Yes, old lady, that's why I'm in a dilemma. Now that we count, we need to prepare at least 10 taels of silver."

Mother Jia nodded: "Yes, 10 taels." Then she pondered for a moment, looked at Mrs. Wang and said, "Why don't we use some from my concubine's house, and pay it back when the rent is collected next year? gone."

Mrs. Wang was taken aback. Although she also planned to go to Mrs. Xue in her heart, she still didn't want to pay the money by herself. She originally wanted Mrs. Xue to pay the 5 taels for herself. Let her be stunned for a moment, then she will definitely have to move some of her own money.

But Mother Jia spoke for Yuan Chun, who was her daughter after all, so Mrs. Wang couldn't refuse, so she had to agree, and then remembered that this was her own scenery, so she just said: "What the old lady said is true, and I also agree. After thinking about it, since this is the case, I will talk to my sister, and it would be good to borrow a little bit first."

Jia Mu nodded: "Okay, since that's the case, let's leave it like this." Then she said to Sister Feng: "So, you don't have to worry about this matter. I know you are very strong. Since Xiaorong's daughter-in-law in Xifu went to After that, you will be asked to take care of there, and going back and forth every day is also a rush, but it is impossible to do so at this outlet."

Sister Feng said with a smile: "This is a great event in the family. Even if the granddaughter-in-law is busy, she is very busy." As long as the money is settled, Sister Feng will naturally be able to flatter Jiamu easily.

Mother Jia nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, since that's the case, go ahead and do it. If there is anything else, just come to me."

Sister Feng nodded, and went out to get busy.

Besides, Mrs. Wang left after Sister Feng left and went back to her room. She frowned slightly when she remembered that Mother Jia wanted to borrow money from the Xue family, but after thinking about it, Xue Pan, the current heir of the Xue family, is a bastard. People, so everything in the Xue family is also controlled by Xue Baochai's audience, and I have the intention to let Baochai and Baoyu move around more, not to mention that Baoyu had a lame Taoist who said that he wanted to be married to Jinyu. There is also a golden lock, so naturally I feel that only Baochai is worthy of my Baoyu, not to mention that now I heard that Baoyu is very diligent in running to the Lixiangyuan.

So after thinking about it, he decided to become in-laws with the Xue family, so that he could occupy the Xue family's silver, but the most important thing right now is the 15 taels of silver in front of him.

The 5 taels seems to be unavoidable for her, but for 10 taels, she really decided to talk to the Xue family and had an idea, so she said: "Jin Chuan'er goes to my room and takes what I got last time." Take Erliang's blood bird's nest with you, and follow me to Lixiangyuan."

"Yes." Jin Chuan'er agreed, only went to get the blood bird's nest, and then helped Mrs. Wang out.

Mrs. Wang pondered how to talk to Mrs. Xue along the way, but before she knew it, she arrived at Lixiangyuan.

I just went in, but I saw Baoyu talking to Baochai. When I saw Mrs. Wang coming, I hurriedly got up: "Why is the lady here today?"

Mrs. Wang smiled lightly, then came over and took Baochai's hand and said: "I heard that you are not in good health a few days ago, but now you are better, but these days I have been busy with your eldest sister's affairs, but I have no time to come. Let’s take a look.” He nodded to Jin Chuan’er again, and then said to Baochai, “A few days ago, I got a little blood bird’s nest, since you are not in good health, you need to make up more.” Saying this, let Jin Chuan The son gave the blood bird's nest to the Zijuan to hide it.

Baochai gave up her seat and only invited Madam Wang to take her seat. Then she said with a smile: "My aunt is worried, but it is our junior's fault. In fact, it is just a natural fetal fever, brought out from the mother's womb. I have been strong since I was a child, so I can bear it, but when I have an attack, it is just a rush of heat, but I have seen a lot of doctors, but I don’t see it. , Then I looked at my illness, gave me an overseas fairy prescription, and another pack of medicine dregs, and prepared the medicine. Now when the illness occurs, I take a pill, but it also gets rid of the heat." "What kind of medicine, compete for it. But this is effective?" Mrs. Wang asked curiously: "I also dispense pills here, if it is possible, I can give you several pills."

Baochai said with a smile: "Speaking of which, these medicines are also strange things. They are also available, but they are extremely trivial. They only say that they are for 12 taels of white peony flowers that bloom in spring, and 12 taels of white lotus flowers that bloom in summer. 12 taels of white hibiscus pistils in autumn, and 12 taels of white plum flower buds in winter. These four kinds of flower buds are dried on the spring equinox day of the following year, and they are ground together at the same place as Yaomozi. It will be rained again on the day Twelve qian for rain water. Mix these four kinds of water thoroughly, mix medicine, add [-] qian of honey, [-] qian of white sugar, make balls the size of longan, put them in an old magnetic altar, and bury them under the flower roots. When you are sick, take out a pill and decoct pine needles with [-] fen phellodendron, and you will be fine, but this medicinal material looks ordinary, but it also requires a skill."

Mrs. Wang laughed after hearing this: "It's really a coincidence. I'm afraid I won't be able to prepare these things in three to five years."

Baochai got up: "It's a coincidence that after the dysentery monk came, it took only a year or two to get all these things and make these pills, and now he doesn't often get sick. Only a few days ago, I thought it was due to the seasonal changes in the weather, and I couldn’t get used to it for a while, so I fell ill again.”

Mrs. Wang nodded after hearing this: "So I am relieved, I know you are rare, so I am afraid that I will rely on you here in the future, so you should be careful, and just ask what you need to live here , don’t talk outside.”

Baochai nodded hurriedly and said, "What my aunt taught me is that Baochai has memorized it."

Mrs. Wang stood up: "I'll go see your mother, you two should have a good conversation." After saying that, Jin Chuan'er helped her away.

Mrs. Wang went to Mrs. Xue's room, saw Mrs. Xue was doing needlework, she couldn't help but smiled and said: "My sister is also diligent, I haven't made this stuff for more than ten years, and now I think it should be useless. .”

Seeing that it was Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xue smiled and put the needle and thread in the basket aside, then got up and said, "I have nothing to do. How can I be as good as my sister? My sister is very lucky, my lord." The girl has become a concubine now, and she is also a noble concubine with one person under one person and above ten thousand people. Isn't my sister's future blessed with endless blessings."

Mrs. Wang laughed after hearing this, and then said: "Oh, you and my sister are still talking about this, to be honest, I'm afraid you and I will still be in-laws in the future."

Mrs. Xue was taken aback, she didn't expect Mrs. Wang to speak so clearly, so she looked at Mrs. Wang and said, "I don't understand what my sister said." She was thinking about what Mrs. Wang was going to say.

Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "What don't you understand, my good sister, in fact, don't you know what I'm thinking? I entered this mansion and only had two sons and a daughter. You know the eldest son. He went early. It hurts my heart, my daughter has entered the palace again, and Baoyu is by my side, he can be regarded as my lifeblood."

Mrs. Xue nodded and said with a smile: "My sister is blessed. She gave birth to Baoyu with Baoyu in her mouth. I think she must be an extraordinary person in the future."

Mrs. Wang sighed: "This child is inherently unstable, so I always want to find a more stable daughter-in-law. I think this Baochai is also safe, so I have long wanted to mention this matter to my sister. Don't worry about it." Not to mention, my sister also said, once a Taoist from Youfang said that this Baochai should be matched with gold and jade, but my Baoyu also said the same thing, saying that only a good marriage of gold and jade can make his life come true. In this way, think about it , isn’t Baoyu and Baochai destined to be a couple?”

"This..." Madam Xue pondered unconsciously.

Mrs. Wang smiled again: "I know my sister is also worried, is she worried about the grandma who is in charge of the house?" Then she said to herself: "Sister, don't worry, in fact, although that Feng girl is our niece, she is not as good as my son after all. Dear daughter-in-law, I have already thought about it. When Baoyu gets married, I will ask that girl Feng to take back the right to be the head of the family, and then let Baoyu's daughter-in-law be the one. If Baochai and Baochai become my daughter-in-law, my sister will still worry about her Will it be a disadvantage?"

Mrs. Xue still remained silent, after all, she still hoped that Baochai could go to the draft.

Seeing that Mrs. Xue seemed speechless, Mrs. Wang continued: "My sister doesn't trust her."

Mrs. Xue smiled and said: "Sister, don't say such a thing, it is true that this Baochai is still a show girl. Although she was not selected this time, she can still be selected for one year based on her age. The age has not exceeded, I am afraid it is not easy to marry casually."

Mrs. Wang laughed: "My sister is also messed up. Think about it, how easy is it to get into the palace? Besides, there are more and more concubines in the palace now. Although Baochai is good, only her honest character may Let people be bullied, and it would be bad to end up with a confidante. It's better to make an agreement with our Baoyu. Of course, I don't want my sister to agree directly. After all, Baoyu is still young, and it will take three to five years before we can discuss marriage. I thought that if this hairpin was ordered by his wife to enter the palace at that time, then we would naturally have nothing to say, but now my business will be held in our sisters' stomachs, and it will be fine if it doesn't work, It's better to be our daughter-in-law, what do you think."

Mrs. Xue heard Mrs. Wang's words, her heart moved, yes, if she can't be selected again.This Baochai is also old, I'm afraid it will not be easy to find a better one, and it will be good if she marries Baoyu at that time, although this Rongguo Mansion is not as rich and luxurious as that of the Imperial Palace, but after all, there is also a noble concubine in this mansion Niang Niang, and she is also Baoyu's own sister. In this way, Baoyu can be regarded as an uncle of the country. It would be good to be a wife of the country's uncle. Thinking of this, Mrs. Xue said: "In this case, follow the elder sister Let's talk."

Mrs. Wang nodded after listening, and then said: "Since my sister also agrees to this matter." Then she looked at Mrs. Xue and said, "Sister, this time my sister is here, besides the matter of Baoyu and Baochai, there is one more thing. Something needs your help."

Mrs. Xue hurriedly said, "Sister, please tell me."

Mrs. Wang sighed and said: "My younger sister also knows that now this Yuan girl has become a noble concubine. That's not counting. Thanks to the emperor's grace, she is expected to come to visit her relatives on the fifteenth day of the first month of the next year, so she ordered to build a relatives villa. This is naturally a glorious thing in our mansion, but we don't hide it from my sister. Although the mansion can provide some money, but this year's rent harvest is not good, it is still a little less, so I want to be more careful and borrow some money from my sister. .”

After hearing this, Mrs. Xue understood what Mrs. Wang meant, and she came to her for the money, so she looked at Mrs. Wang and said, "How much does my sister need?"

Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "It's not a lot, just 10 taels of silver. When the rent starts next year, I will pay my sister back immediately."

Mrs. Xue said with a smile: "My sister is from my own family, so why be so polite, but now the head of the family is Chai, I always have to discuss this matter with her."

Mrs. Wang nodded with a smile: "It should be." Then she got up and said: "Then sister, rest, when the discussion is over, just write back to me."

Mrs. Xue nodded: "Okay, everything will be as my sister said." Then she sent Mrs. Wang out of the door.

As soon as Mrs. Wang left, Mrs. Xue went to Baochai, and saw that in Baochai's room, only Zijuan was left serving, so she said, "Chaier, this Baoyu has left?"

Baochai nodded: "The attacker came to look for him, saying that uncle was looking for him, so he went."

Mrs. Xue nodded, and then said to Zijuan: "You go down first, I have something to say to Chai'er."

Zicuckoo bent her knees and brushed her body, then backed out.

Baochai looked at Mrs. Xue and said, "What does Mom want to say to me?" She could also guess in her heart that it was related to Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Xue looked at Baochai, and then repeated what Mrs. Wang told herself.Then he said, "Does Chai'er think there's anything in it?"

Baochai sneered after hearing this: "What can it be? If she makes up her mind, I'm afraid I won't succeed in the next draft. Mom, don't forget that the imperial concubine is from this mansion, so she is like this now." Said, in fact, it has been explained that it is for our money, mother, if this money is borrowed, I am afraid that we will not be able to get it back in nine out of ten."

Mrs. Xue was slightly taken aback when she heard this: "Then why don't we borrow it?"

Baochai glanced at Mrs. Xue: "She has spoken like this now, Mom, how can we not borrow it."
