Ai Ruo's life in the red mansion

That place, and after learning about the royal family's plan, this yard was also used to house the building materials that Ai Ruo gradually purchased in small scales.After all, not many people here know about it, and no one in the family cared about the wasteland that was occupied at the beginning, just to take advantage of it.

Collecting building materials, in addition to repairing the ancestral house, she also wanted to keep and sell them, so as to subsidize the money for repairing the house.Although the ancestral house does not need to be rebuilt now, building materials still need to be used.And building a new courtyard requires more materials. Now Ai Ruo doesn't know if he has prepared enough, so he immediately sent someone to Jiangnan to send a letter to Lin Hai, asking her to prepare materials for him, and bring them back when they return to Beijing. .

Why don't you let your own people do the shopping, and send people to do the shopping? Firstly, they are not familiar with the place, and it is easy to make tofu into the price of meat. Also, they buy a lot of things, and one or two is not enough.So, before, the building materials they needed were just made by Mu Geer when Jia Yuan went on a trip; and when she went to Jiangnan to prepare for Xiao Dai's wedding, she also made some by the way, and now Lin Hai also needs it. Come back, there is no need for him, why use others.It is convenient and cheap to bring with you.

Now it is used as the location of the new garden, and the things are right there, which is really convenient and direct.The work can start immediately after drawing out the drawings, so the work started quietly at their house.

Lin Hai came back in March, and brought two ships of materials, but was stopped when he arrived at the port, and asked people to store the building materials in the nearby warehouse at the port. Lin Hai didn't know what they were doing, but since they With such an arrangement, he'd better not mess with that pungent second sister-in-law.

I went home to wash up and went to the Jia government office. Both my daughter and son were good. Besides clothes, they also looked energetic, especially my daughter, who had a little more determination in her eyes.This made Lin Hai feel at ease.

Ai Ruo didn't like Mr. Lin Hai either.After saying a few words, he withdrew and asked Jia Zheng to chat with Lin Hai.Lin Hua's siblings also knew that their father and uncle had something to say, so they also withdrew.Lin Hai just asked, what's going on, is it because his materials arrived too late and missed?

Jia Zheng was speechless, and waved his hands to let people out. Then he told Lin Hai that his garden had been repaired.And the new Zhichengbo Mansion was also completed.Put those materials in Tongzhou.At that time, wait to see who wants to repair the garden again, just sell it.

Lin Hai was a little confused, so he managed to transport two boats.As a result, I told him now that the family is no longer needed, and they will change hands later. The problem is, who has nothing to do to repair the garden.Even if it is overhauled, it won't take so much.

"Dare to ask, brother, why is the family building so extravagantly?" Lin Hai really didn't know anything worthwhile for the always thrifty Jia Zheng and his wife to do such an outrageous thing.It is to repair the ancestral house, and to build another courtyard, which is obviously not the usual style of this couple.

"The sage was on the old sage's Longevity Day. For a moment, he said that he was blessed to be a son to be able to accept the old sage's knees. It was unfilial for the concubines in the palace to be separated from their families for many years and unable to return home. So I asked the old sage The sage allowed the empresses above the concubines to go back to their natal family to see their relatives. The sage's concubine was very pleased. She readily agreed." Jia Zheng said slowly.

The old sage's longevity is in the middle of March, which has just passed.And at that moment, Lin Hai was floating on the water.So he didn't know about it, but Lin Hai is such a shrewd and capable person, he immediately understood the meaning of saving building materials.But he still didn't understand, what does this have to do with the Jia family, since the Jia family didn't have a concubine, what does it have to do with the Jia family if they don't go home to visit relatives?

Jia Zheng took a draft of a booklet from the side and handed it to Lin Hai, with a helpless expression on his face.

Lin Hai saw it, and invited the queen to visit the garden, this timing?In the sensitive period when the royal family just said that the concubine and above would return to her natal family, the second sister-in-law invited the queen to visit the garden.this, this...

Lin Hai's mind was spinning quickly, thinking about it, his eyes flashed, and he looked up at Jia Zheng.Now he finally understands why it is so good. Apart from building a main house, the family also specially built a garden.Preparations started a year or two ago.Co-authorship is the royal plan, and Ai Ruo's request should also be part of the plan, so it has to be repaired.

Lin Hai didn't know what expression to show his uncle.It's not right, actually it's not. If it's not that the second sister-in-law is good with the queen, can my youngest son accompany the little prince?But there was always something weird in his heart.

In fact, Jia Zheng also felt that he was a bit tragic. If someone invited his aunt home, what was he?Fortunately, he doesn't have to go to court, he just needs to write a note to Liu Rui and that's it.As for what the court said, he didn't care.Now he doesn't speak, but just shows Zhezi Lin Hai, which makes him feel uncomfortable.But Jia Zheng is good, he never thinks that his wife is wrong, and if there is something wrong, it must be from above.

Lin Hai went back after dinner, and brought his son and daughter back along the way.This time the two of them didn't make a fuss, they were quite obedient, but Ai Ruo was so uncomfortable.

Sure enough, as Lin Hai thought, Jia Zheng's excerpt caused a lot of waves. Everyone thought it was a very honorable thing to take home the nobles in the family. It is recognized that Jia Zheng's wife has a good relationship with the queen. But this is to take the aunt home, what is the matter with the Jia family, and you even built a garden to welcome the queen, what do you want us to do?

They wanted to attack Jia Zheng, but the problem was that it was really not easy to attack. They invited the queen to visit the garden. Well, using the normal channels of the Ministry of Rites, they really can't say anything about them.Unless people knew that the sage was going to let the ladies go home, they had to know that their garden had already been repaired, and they didn't rush to repair it after hearing the wind.For this kind of thing, it takes half a year to prepare the materials, and another half year to build it, so it takes a year to spend.So now that they did it on purpose, they still can't believe it.

And Liu Rui was immediately happy, and hurriedly said, "The queen and Mrs. Jia have the same love as sisters. This is the same relative. As expected, Mrs. Jia and the queen sisters are deeply in love. I will go with the queen and the little prince."

When the decree came to Jia's house, Ai Ruo's family suffered together. This time, instead of taking over from the queen, they had to take over from Liu Rui. Can life be any more tragic?

Ai Ruo actually didn't think too much about it at the beginning, she just saw her superiors said that her garden is ready, and if the queen doesn't come, their children won't be able to go in and see it. trouble.So as soon as the royal family publicly expressed that they could take people home, they were the first to make an order.How did she know that Liu Rui set an example by herself. Looking back, everyone saw that the Jia family took over, and then each family compared spending money to build a big, luxurious garden, and then what?There is no more.

When the day came, Liu Rui came over with Da Ma Jin Dao, which is different from the book, what is the first announcement, waiting for Yuan Chun to follow his superiors one by one to go home, it is almost night, have a meal, meet someone, two hours Just have to go back.The Jia family's millions, maybe it should be said that the Lin family's million-dollar wealth is over.

Now it is said that the old saint is still there, but there is really no authority, and who is the biggest in this country?Naturally, it is Liu Rui and his wife, and at most one little prince will be added.So the three of them went out of the palace, and besides serving as a guard of honor for others, they entered the gate of the garden, and everyone was outside. Be an outsider yourself.Eat as much as you want, drink as much as you want, the little prince and little wax gourd happily follow behind.

Because Liu Rui is a foreigner, the girls are behind, waiting for them to finish their shopping and see you after the banquet.

Ai Ruo originally wanted to separate men and women, and took the queen and the girls for a stroll, leaving Jia Zheng, Heitan, Xiaodonggua, and Mu Geer outside.As a result, Liu Rui wanted to visit the garden to see how their garden was maintained.Therefore, the girls could only be avoided.

Fortunately, it is April, and the weather is very good before spring enters summer.The scenery outside is even better, it is the season of flowers blooming, although the girls of Ai Ruo's family used to push flowers with their hands when they were young, but people will grow up, and now they are also people who cherish and love flowers.There are not many exotic flowers and plants in the garden now, but when they are placed in one place and bloom freely, there is a joyful charm.

The queen and Ai Ruo are together, she likes roses, and when she sees the blooming roses, she warms up, "That's great, why do you want to plant this?"

"The gardener planted it." Erote was honest, the family stopped pointing and asking her what she wanted to plant, they would only pick the ones they liked, and of course, they would also pick the ones that bloomed well.Well, she doesn't require her daughter to know how to appreciate flowers now. Basically, she doesn't seem to be the kind of master who knows how to appreciate flowers.

Sure enough, her answer made Liu Rui turn around and give her a blank stare.Jin Ling said that she was very speechless, this person really only has a single circuit to succeed, the modern Ai Ruo is very successful in her career because she is very focused.When she got here, she focused on her marriage and took Jia Zheng as her own career. So besides studying medicine, she took good care of her man and her children. Sure enough, happiness is sometimes a one-way thing. , Thinking too much is useless.

In fact, the garden is much smaller than the Grand View Garden in the book, at least they don’t have so many yards, and their children don’t say much more. Ai Ruo originally wanted to restore it, but felt that the garden was full of flowers, so what?Have those girls ever been really happy?Thinking about it, I felt unlucky, so I listened to the designer and made their own garden according to their ideas.

Of course, after looking at other people's drawings, basically, the layout of ancient Chinese gardens is similar, and now these gardens are not named except for the Daoxiang Village where Ai Ruo lives. Liu Rui can take it, or let them take it by themselves.

"It's better to be spring, it's really winter, and there is no such grand scene." The queen was really happy. On the bridge in the middle of the lake, she took a deep breath and felt that the whole person was at ease, "But it's really winter, You don’t hang green silk on dead trees, do you?”

"Don't worry, I'm determined not to be such a prodigal!" Ai Ruo gave her a big smirk.
