After everyone discussed it and made a decision, they specially invited a Mr. Minggong named "Shan Ziye" to help, and discussed with Jia She and Jia Zheng and others to plan one by one.

Now Jia Zheng has to go on business every day, and he is not good at these vulgar things.It's just that I go to visit various places when I have free time every day, and I will follow up with me when there are important events.

Therefore, the construction of this courtyard was led by Jia She, Jia Lian, Jia Rong, Jia Qiang, Jia Yun, several housekeepers and several gentlemen.

Since Jia Amnesty had a grandson, he has been more low-key and cautious.Therefore, although he is said to be in charge of Xiuyuanzi, he is not very prominent.Only when there are very important matters, do we discuss with everyone.

So the whole project was actually coordinated by Mr. Shan Ziye with a few stewards and those junior men.

Although Jia Lian had to go to the Yamen every day to do business, after all, several 10 taels of silver were involved, so he had to personally ask about it every day when he left the Yamen.

He also specially told Sister Feng to say that Brother Yun followed Mr. Liu to watch the outside affairs, and asked her to pay more attention to the inside affairs.

Of course Wang Xifeng knew that there would be nothing left in the mansion after the province visit.How could she not seize the opportunity to save more money for herself?

After thinking about it, he said to Jia Lian: "The family's ancestral property, and the second master of those Zhuangzi shops. Don't let people make excuses to sell them. The family will live on these in the future."

Jia Lian heard this and said, "Don't worry, now relatives and friends have pooled 80 million taels together. The Grand View Garden in our dream is from Huayuanzi on the east side to Huifang Garden in Ningfu. It is three and a half miles long from east to west.

The one being repaired now is only one mile or less.I said before that too much extravagance is not good for the eldest sister, so this little money must be enough.After the operation is done, maybe we can save an extra private house. "

No matter what everyone is thinking, anyway, the garden has started construction.

Jia Zheng took Mrs. Wang, Aunt Zhao, and Aunt Zhou to the newly renovated Sanjin courtyard on the north side of Rongqing Hall.

Jia Amnesty also really dismissed all those concubines and concubines, and finally moved into Rongxi Hall with the smug Mrs. Xing.

This time he was close to his grandson, so Jia Amnesty directly cleaned up the east and west rooms for his grandson and granddaughter.

He also specially asked someone to tell Jia Lian and his wife that your yard is so small that my grandson must be aggrieved and panicked living there.

Why don't you just stay with me in Rongxitang, it's a bit more spacious.

No matter how sad Jia Lian felt, he only played with his grandchildren in Rongxi Hall every day.

These two masters have moved out, and all the servants living outside the east courtyard wall of Rongguo Mansion have also moved out.

Ask the craftsmen to seal the door between the mansion and the east courtyard first, and then tear down the east courtyard wall.

Mr. Shan Ziye followed the stewards of the two mansions to survey the place, and then drew the planning map of the garden.

After checking it with several masters, it really started to move.

Xu Li watched Wang Xifeng and his wife put money into their pockets bit by bit every day, which was very strenuous.

Simply give her another benefit.Just put a lot of glass and mirrors in her storage ring, there is still enough for Ningrong and Rongfu and the relatives' garden.

Because Xu Li sent something suddenly.In the early morning, Wang Xifeng was dealing with housework with a few ladies in charge, when he heard such a letter in his mind, he was shocked immediately.

He dismissed everyone indiscriminately, and was in a daze for the next day, only knowing that he kept touching the ring he was wearing.When Jia Lian came back in the evening, he hurriedly dragged him into the inner room.

As Jia Lian followed her inside, she kept talking, "Second Grandma misses your father, don't worry, she will love you well tonight."

"Huqin again, I'm talking about business." Wang Xifeng rolled his eyes at him, and after the two of them sat down on the kang and sent all the maids away, he whispered: "Today, our ancestors gave us something good again. .”

When Jia Lian came back to her senses, Sister Feng had already conjured up half-heated Western glass mirrors and transparent glass.With a steady mind, he quickly stopped Wang Xifeng, and told her to put everything away quickly.

After asking how much there were in total, he put his arms around Sister Feng and said in a low voice: "Amitabha, the ancestors bless you. This is our ancestor who sees that the family has been hollowed out, and they are subsidizing us."

Wang Xifeng bowed to the immortal in his heart, and then said with bright eyes: "Isn't it? A single glass hydrangea lamp costs a few hundred taels of silver. Not to mention the one that is taller than a person and looks like a door." The western glass mirror, there are not thousands of taels that cannot be taken down.

There are more than a dozen mirrors that look like a door alone, and there are dozens of mirrors that are half the height of a person, the size of a washbasin, and the size of a palm.And then there's those clear glass.

The second master is still thinking about how we can sell it while the mothers and mothers of each family are visiting their relatives. "

Jia Lian quickly calmed down, "We can't get ahead of this matter. Only those Western merchant ships can take out so much glass at once. I have to make arrangements so that no one can draw attention to us.

Besides, the family is in a hurry, and you can't easily go out.We still have to make arrangements to ship things out quietly. "

When the couple were thinking about how to handle the matter, Wang Xifeng suddenly had an indigo plain pouch in his hand.Holding the purse, thinking about what the immortal told her just now, Wang Xifeng excitedly grabbed Jia Lian's hand and said, "Second Lord, there is a solution."

The husband and wife formally bowed down to their ancestors again, and Jia Lian recognized the storage bag with a drop of blood according to the method taught by Sister Feng.The couple played excitedly for half the night before dumping the glass and mirror from Sister Feng's ring into their own storage bags.

【Xu Li looked at Wang Xifeng and his wife kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times with awe-inspiring expressions, always feeling uneasy in their conscience.I played tricks with others for the mission, but in the end they took it for real.How about treating them better in the future? 】

Seeing him like this, Sister Feng reminded: "Second Master, be careful outside, don't let anyone find out. This thing is not the pill, so I can't tell the reason. If others find out, That's what kills."

Jia Lian also said sternly: "That's exactly what I said. I might as well keep it for the second grandma and take it out when I use it. Don't move it when I don't need it, lest I accidentally lose it, even if I lose it, I will ask someone to pick it up." It’s not okay to go.”

The husband and wife had made a decision, and they embraced each other and fell asleep.Nothing to say all night.

It's just that since then Jia Lian has become busier, leaving early and returning late every day.Waiting for the family garden to pile up mountains and dig ponds, build buildings and erect pavilions, plant bamboo and flowers, it is almost in shape.

There is also news that transparent glass windows are popular in the market recently.It is said that the window is brighter than the gauze.

Just to the south of the coast of Guangdong, a group of Western merchant ships came, and there were a lot of novelties such as transparent glass and Western mirrors.I heard that Concubine Wu's father, Wu Tianyou, has already chartered a whole shipment.

After hearing this, Wang Xifeng knew that it was Jia Lian's trick again.

When he came back and asked him, Jia Lian said: "It's not all my fault. Western merchant ships have indeed come to the south. There are also things like glass mirrors, but there are not many of them. The few merchants who happened to be acquainted with Xue's family divided up the goods. I just took the opportunity to get involved."

Then she leaned closer to Sister Feng and whispered: "Except for what we left for our garden, I have sold the rest to three or four other families who also have their concubines returning to the province to repair their gardens.

This is also because several companies are repairing the garden together, and the things are scarce, and the things are robbed as soon as they show up, and the price is several times higher than usual.For the item of transparent glass alone, these few companies sold 18 taels of silver.

Concubine Wu and her family spent 10 taels alone. I heard that their family had built a garden with a radius of several miles outside the city alone, and the whole garden had to be covered with glass windows.

It is also necessary to build a special glass greenhouse, saying that it is to allow Concubine Wu to enjoy flowers in all seasons.

Just look at it, the second wife probably can't help it anymore, and she must follow suit. "

Sure enough, two days after Jia Lian said that, the whole family of Rongguo Mansion gathered in Rongqing Hall again.As soon as everyone sat down, Mrs. Wang said: "It's a big event for your mother to return to the province. Although our family can't be extravagant, we can't make too much difference. Every concubine's house is busy building a family garden. Our family can't be wronged." Madam."

After hearing this, Jia Amnesty said, "Isn't our family also building a garden? Although it's not as big as the one that Wu Guifei's family built outside the city, it's not too small. The Yuanchun grade is already there, what else do you want?" Sample."

Mrs. Wang said again: "Nowadays, the gardens built in various mansions are all made of glass windows. Our garden is thinner than other people's. We can't save this item, otherwise not only the empress's face will be ugly. Looks good, our Jia family has no face."

Jia Amnesty muttered to the side: "If you have enough money, go buy it. It's the only way to do it."

Jia's mother glanced at him and said: "That's exactly what I said. Although our family wants to keep a low profile, it can't be too shabby. After all, our Jia family is a family of two countries. If it is too much, it should be laughed at.

Lian'er, how is the garden doing now? If we all use glass windows, the money will still be enough. "

Jia Lian hurriedly replied: "Old lady, my grandson has inquired about this. This batch of goods is just in time for many people to repair their gardens, so the price has been raised a lot.

It is estimated that if we also use glass windows in the entire garden, it will cost 6 to [-] taels.If we also change the glass windows, other places will have to be tightened. "

Mrs. Wang hurriedly said: "The glass windows have to be replaced, and other places can't be inspected anymore."

Seeing that no one said anything, Jia's mother said again: "After all, Yuanchun has lost face, and our Jia family has also lost face. Everyone has to do their best. Only when we work together can we be prosperous. I will pay another 2 taels. Let the rest of you get together again."
