New Dream of Red Mansions

Sister Feng covered Jia Lian's wound with distress, and said, "Let's ask the imperial doctor to take a look."

Jia Lian frowned, and the wound hurt again, "I invited the imperial doctor to provoke him again, but it's just a minor injury, it will be fine after two or three days." Shangfeng said that he appreciated his talent and was planning to promote him. At this time, he was going to work or not.

You can't say that Lao Tzu smashed it when someone asks about it, right?People who know know what happened to his father, but those who don't know think he has done something disobedient.

Sister Feng and Heping'er helped Jia Lian take care of the wound, and said, "I know why he owes the Sun's family money, and he was going to use his second sister to pay for it, but now the old lady has agreed to the Wu family's money for the second sister. Marriage, this is forcing money back."

Jia Lian frowned, "How come I don't know about this? You too, if the old lady doesn't make the decision, can you just watch the second sister marry that person? What kind of good person can the elder brother hand over?"

Sister Feng said aggrievedly: "When did I know? Didn't I see the old man begging for money all day long, and I was puzzled, so I called a few people to ask questions. , he was embarrassed to say, I know, it is inevitable that I have to tell you that you are also his son, and I have to raise enough money even if I sell everything. , then I won't be a solicitor?"

Jia Lian stopped talking immediately, took Sister Feng's hand and said softly, "Is this about me, and I will compensate you."

Sister Feng just gave up.

It's just that Sister Feng is unwilling to take the money, not to mention whether she has it, if it is given to Jia Amnesty, it means that there is no return.So I just took 200 taels of silver and sent them over with Jia Lian's 300 taels of silver.

Seeing that Jia Amnesty asked for 5000 taels and got 500 taels back, he jumped up angrily.It's just that now that his son was injured by him, he had an excuse not to come, and he couldn't break into his daughter-in-law's yard, so he was furious in his own yard for a while.

Several concubines were worried about being harmed by nothing, so they all went into hiding.

Jia Amnesty couldn't see anyone, so he asked the girl angrily: "Where are the aunts?"

The maids got their orders and all went into the garden.I thought Jia She would go outside after a while of anger like before.Unexpectedly, Jia She turned around and went to the garden.

The girls looked at each other in blank dismay.Several aunts are hiding in the house.

Jia Amnesty was originally furious and ran into the garden, but after entering the garden, he calmed down a little.All the people living in the garden are juniors, if he makes trouble here, wouldn't it be a joke?What's more, there are two old ladies' favorites in it.

But where did the 5000 taels of silver come from?It's impossible at the old lady's place, Jia Lian is useless, so there's no need to count on it... Just thinking about it, Jia She saw Yuanyang approaching with a bouquet of flowers, his heart skipped a beat, and his eyes sparkled. looking at her.

Yuanyang looked up and saw Jia She's squinting look, immediately put away his smile, and saluted politely: "My lord."

"Okay, okay," Jia She looked at Yuanyang with bright eyes, Yuanyang was in charge of the old lady's body, if Yuanyang gave some money, wouldn't his matter be settled?It just so happened that he had already set his sights on Yuanyang.

Yuanyang bowed her head and hurried away after saluting, unaware of Jia She's scheming behind him.

Jia's mother was angry with Jia She about the matter of welcoming the spring, when she suddenly heard that she had made up her mind on Yuanyang, she was so angry that even Mrs. Wang was implicated and scolded.

Yuanyang only swears that she will never marry for the rest of her life, and even if the old lady goes, she will twist her hair and go to be a sister-in-law.

The girls felt a little sad when they saw it, but Xiyan knew that if Jia's mother really went, Yuanyang might not even be able to make a sister-in-law.Unless Jia Mu made proper arrangements in advance.

Jia Amnesty couldn't figure it out, so he had no choice but to pawn a few antiques in his hand, and borrowed some here and there, and finally returned the 5000 taels of silver.

Grandmother Jia was angry. It happened that Lai Da's son Lai Shangrong was sent out to be an official. The family wanted to treat guests to a banquet, so he came to ask for the grace of Grandmother Jia and went to sit at the banquet.

Mother Jia didn't want to go at first, but she wanted to go out to relax because of a few things together, and Sister Feng interceded, so she decided to take everyone there for a stroll.

This is the first time for everyone to come to Lai everyone, and the pavilions and pavilions inside are also shocking.Tanchun was amazed, and Baochai was lamenting that it was due to everyone's wealth, so she heard Xiyan say: "This garden is actually twice the size of the Grand View Garden, and the pavilions and pavilions in it are almost comparable to the scenery in the Grand View Garden."

Tanchun looked thoughtfully at the materials, rocks and trees used in the garden.

Baochai turned her head to look at Xiyan, Daiyu sneered in her heart, she, who lives in the inner house, heard about it, and they just pretended not to hear it, so the mansion is getting worse day by day.

It's just that she also knows that these things are beyond her control, but she understands them in her heart.

Tanchun looked at it for a long time, and he knew something in his heart. Although there is no evidence, all the materials used are the same as those in the Grand View Garden, and Lai Da is the chief housekeeper of the mansion, so why don't you understand?

When I didn’t have doubts before, I didn’t feel anything, but now I have doubts in my heart, so I will inevitably think more.Lai Da's family were all servants of the Jia family, and Lai Shangrong was released with the grace of the Jia family, and then his family was donated as an official.

Tanchun doesn't know how much it costs to donate an official, but after donating an official, he can still build such a big garden, Tanchun lowered his eyes.

Back then, there was a lot of trouble about Mrs. Lin’s borrowing money from sister Lin. Jia’s mansion even had to borrow money to repair the garden, but as a servant of Jia’s mansion, they have already built a garden similar to Grand View Garden. Although the yard is more than ten times smaller, it is still She was still surprised.

Tanchun wanted to tell Jia's mother, but seeing that Jia's mother only admired Lai's garden, she had no doubts in her heart, let alone Mrs. Wang and others.That's right, which master would think that the slave would invite the master to visit after embezzling the things of the master's house?If sister Yan hadn't said something inadvertently, she might not have thought of it.

Tanchun thought, why not find a chance to talk to the old lady.

Jia Mu said with a smile, "Your garden is well maintained, and it will be cool in summer."

Lai Da's daughter-in-law responded, and only said that it was thanks to the old lady. Xiyan laughed secretly in her heart, could it be because of the old lady's blessing?

When Tanchun returned to the garden, he went to look for Xiyan and Daiyu, and said: "Now the house is struggling to make ends meet, I said earlier that we should increase income and reduce expenditure, now I have thought of a few ideas, you can refer to them for me."

Daiyu closed the book and said, "What's your idea? Come and listen to me."

"Let's talk about throttling first. There are two. We have two taels of silver every month. In addition, we have money to buy rouge and gouache every month. It's just that we have money from the account every month. Take away two taels of money for rouge and gouache, which is heavy, and this item needs to be removed. Another item is the eight taels of silver that Lang Geer and the others spent on going to school. Could it be that the eight taels of silver are spent on going to school? Expenses? I will get rid of this item too."

After talking about this, Tanchun became excited, "The other things are fine, the most important thing is the open source. Our garden spends a lot of people and things every year to maintain this garden. We went there a few days ago. Lai everyone , I heard that their gardens are all contracted to the servants of the family. Not only do they no longer need to spend on taking care of those flowers and trees every year, but they can also charge a lot of money. Our garden is bigger than theirs, and the things are more expensive. If we are like them, let alone the income every year, the savings will be a lot of money."

Daiyu and Xiyan looked at each other with a smile, and said: "That's a good idea. Since you came to ask us, I don't want to hide my words. Other things are fine, but I can't get rid of the only thing I learned from home."

Seeing doubts in Tanchun's eyes, he explained: "The prosperity and decline of a family depends on its children. Although your family has served in the military, it has not served in the army since the eldest uncle. If you want to get ahead in the future, you may have to take the imperial examination. This one, so we need to reward reading. It’s like my family. The Lin family’s family education is famous in Gusu. My elder brother was poor and even had difficulty eating, but how could he be able to go to school all the time and pass the Tongsheng Scholar exam? It’s because of his family The school not only packs lunch, but also snacks, and every year the best students can get a few taels of silver rewards to supplement the family." Because the Lin family has few children, it is already a little far away from the family, but that's it, every year Lin Ruhai A large sum of money will still be given to the family, most of which are used to invite outstanding teachers and purchase various books, while the rest are used to reward students and support poor Lin's children.

As long as the family education is still there, as long as the children of the family are still willing to study, it is difficult for a family to decline, and even if it declines, there is a chance to stand up.

When Tanchun heard about it, he was silent for a while, and said seriously: "Sister Lin, tell me seriously about what your family learned later."

Daiyu nodded.

Xiyan said: "If you want to rent out the garden, you have to list the places that can be sold out one by one. There are several ways to do it, and how much to do. You have to take care of it before you propose it. Don’t let those old fritters trap you.” Although Xiyan didn’t know much about farming, thanks to modern advanced information, she still knew something, so she asked several questions in a row. In order not to forget, I took the notes.

Daiyu listened for a while, and said: "This is not possible. Let's look up the agricultural books and talk about it. I just heard what Sister Yan said. It seems that the income is quite high. If we ask three questions like this, we may not be able to pass it with my wife." .”

Xiyan laughed and said, "Actually, those millets and vegetables are fine, but the real valuables are those flowers and medicinal materials. Apart from other things, the anthers in Sister Bao's Hengwu Garden are wasted every year."

Tanchun's eyes lit up, "We have a pharmacy in our house, we can deliver it there."

Xiyan shook her head, "It can be seen that you don't understand. Although those things were sent to the pharmacy before, they were not the most valuable."

"Where is the most valuable?"

"Naturally it's a rouge shop?" Xiyan said, "I don't understand these things, but my younger brother has a man named Zhuang Sheng who is the best at inquiring. It's just that he's not here now." Xiyan frowned, "Pian Zhuang is in charge. Busy these days."

Daiyu said, "Why don't I ask Steward Lin to inquire about it?"

Lin Zhong followed Daiyu to the capital and lived in Jia's mansion all the time, he only listened to Daiyu and Sheng Geer's words, he has also been familiar with the capital in the past few years, it is not difficult to inquire about one thing.

After hearing this, Tanchun gave her a list of what the garden could produce, and Steward Lin just inquired according to this.

The three of them worked hard for a few days, and finally found two better ways.

There are two situations in which the things in the garden need to be contracted. One is to pay out of money, and pay hundreds of taels of silver every year. Except for the share of each house, everything else belongs to the contractor, and all the money from the sale belongs to the other party.

Another way is that after contracting to the other party, in addition to the share of each house every year, the contracted person can get [-]% to [-]% of the wages of the money sold at the end of the year.

Daiyu helped Tanchun divide those projects into pieces, so that when the time comes, just point out who wants to contract which item.

Tanchun ambitiously took the list to find Sister Feng.

Sister Feng was taken aback, and naturally agreed, and said to Ping'er after Tanchun left: "It's hard for her to come up with this method, but the rules are clearly written in the back, even if those people want to play tricks and steal. I'm sure I saw her right, but she's young, and I'm afraid there's someone helping her behind her, otherwise she wouldn't be so thoughtful."

Ping'er laughed and said: "Grandma is almost catching up with Bao Qingtian, isn't there someone behind her? These three girls run to the hotel whenever they are free these days, and those two girls must have helped plan it. I heard Miss Bao complain that they just hide and don't know what to discuss?"

Sister Feng sneered, "Naturally she doesn't know, last time the third girl in our family finally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of buying things for the New Year to rectify things, but because of her meddling, she did a good job, but the third girl was left behind. The outsider is not human, so that's good, and I thought that after I took over, all the people in the mansion would be taken care of by her." After speaking, he smiled and said, "My cousin has a lot of valleys in her heart, and she is not partial enough. It’s fine, it’s okay to come up with a big idea, those rules are definitely not something she can come up with, I’m afraid Miss Lin will have to help.”

She said and sighed: "She is good in every way, but her health is not good, and she will get sick every year."

Ping'er said: "But I think that Miss Lin's health has gradually improved in recent years, and she is not as bad as the people in the house said. Although she still gets sick three or two times a year, it is not a serious illness, and it only takes a few days. The medicine will be fine, but it’s just that she looks thinner at ordinary times.” It’s all spread by the house, so everyone subconsciously thinks that Miss Lin’s health is not good.Ping'er didn't say the last sentence.Some things can be understood in each other's hearts, and there is really no need to say them out.

Sister Feng also sighed, and her mood faded.

Within two days, Tanchun officially notified the whole government of this measure. If you want to contract, you should sign up as soon as possible.

When Baochai found out, she laughed and said, "That's a good idea. How much money can I save? Although our house doesn't count on that little money, we can save a little bit. Everyone has some income. It's just that we should spend a sum of money every year. The money is for the other nuns in the garden, and I have troubled them once."

Tanchun pretended not to hear it, and Li Wan just bowed his head and drank tea when he saw it. Although a few women were tempted, if they paid a certain amount of money every year, the third girl could only lower the price, but seeing The third girl and the eldest grandmother didn't speak, so they had to rest their minds.

Baochai was embarrassed for a while, she was just talking casually, and she just came to see today, not on purpose.I was a little embarrassed for a while, and I didn't speak anymore.

It was Xichun who came to look for Tanchun, and seeing that Baochai was here, she smiled and said, "Sister Bao is here too, I was just saying that the old lady asked me to paint a garden, and I couldn't find some of the things that Sister Bao listed last time." Qi, I want to ask if you have any there."

Baochai got up and said, "Then I'll go back with you to have a look, I have some, I just wonder if there is anything you need.

The two left together.

Xichun left Baochai's place and ran to the hotel to find Xiyan, "Sister Yan, I wrote a letter to Brother You, can you pass it to him for me?"

Xiyan smiled and said, "Okay."

Xichun mysteriously stuffed something into the envelope. Daiyu could see that it was a painting, so she was a little curious, but since Xichun didn't want them to know, she couldn't ask.

The weird feeling in Xiyan's heart reappeared, and she shook her head after thinking about it. The two children are still young, shouldn't they?It just seems like precocity is popular among kids in this day and age.

Xiyan put away Xichun's letter, thought about it, and wrote another letter to Brother You, writing about Xichun with a lot of ink in her heart.Brother Yu has always been smart, so he should be able to understand it, right?

What Xiyan didn't know was that she was the one who woke up the other party only after this letter.After receiving Xichun's letter, he was overjoyed at first, and he didn't think much about seeing his sister's letter, but after reading it, his first feeling was that his sister had discovered it.Then he froze.What did you find?

Brother Yu is still young, but there is Baoyu, he has watched Baoyu since he was a child, plus the rumors that appear from time to time in the house, what else does he not understand?Brother Yu was stunned for a moment.

He thought that Xichun was a playmate.

After he arrived at Jia's house, apart from Brother Lang, he got along better with Xichun.And Brother Lang is restricted by his sister-in-law, and the only ones who can play with him are Sister Lin and Xichun except for his sister.

While my sister and sister Lin had more topics to talk about, he and Xichun got along better.

I don't know since when, he liked to tell Xichun about his affairs outside, even when he came to Gusu, he often wrote back to her, and it turns out that this feeling has changed.
