Shui Ruoyang sighed: "No wonder when I asked about the talents who designed the gardens, many people recommended Shan Ziye, saying that he is a weird talent for building gardens. Feng Ziying said that the Grand View Garden was designed and built by Shan Ziye. Looking at the Grand View Garden now, although there is no The Jasper Garden is so grand, but it’s really good.”

After Shui Ruoyang finished speaking, he looked at the poem and said: "Spring is everywhere in the three miles of Fangyuan, and the screens are reflected on the towers and terraces in four seasons. Just ask the world, how precious is it, light wine still finds the person in the dream."

Dai Quan said: "Your Majesty, I don't know how many days it will take to finish such a painting."

Shui Ruoyang said: "There are so many scenes, one or two years can't finish the painting, and there are so many characters, I'm afraid I have to hang them up to slowly appreciate the taste of this painting. Both Miaoyu and Princess Lin said that Liu Xianglian His wife's painting is a masterpiece, this must have been drawn by her, and this poem is also memorable. Anyway, when the prince comes over, I will give him the Grand View Garden and this painting together."

But it was said that Mrs. Wang Baochai and others in Xue's house did not come to see them until April 28, when their nephew Wang Ren came to see them.Wang Ren repeatedly said that he was really busy, and Shi was late to see his aunt and cousin, and gave 300 taels of silver to Mrs. Wang, saying that Wang Ziteng lived a clean life and didn't have much money left. After leaving the hotel and buying a shop, the money left is limited.

Mrs. Wang received Wang Ren's three hundred silver taels, and her heart suddenly turned cold.When I was still in the Prison Temple, my only hope was that my natal nephew could help me.Although Wang Ziteng was an incorruptible official, the ancestor of the Wang family had a large family business. He was known as the "King of Jinling" and was also the eldest house. Many ancestral properties in Jinling were managed under his name.Besides, Wang Ren's father, Wang Zisheng, also runs a lot of shops in Jinling, and Wang Ziteng and Wang Ziteng even split the family business equally, at least 200 million.Now that he is in trouble, Wang Ren actually only offered three hundred to help, not to mention a word of other help.

Wang Ren didn't stay at Xue's house for long. He said that one of his concubines was pregnant and wanted to go back to take care of him. He also said that his restaurant was busy and wanted to check it out. He only had a few words of consolation with Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue before leaving. up.

After Wang Ren left, Aunt Xue saw that Mrs. Wang didn't say a word, she just shed tears, and she tried to comfort her: "Sister, Wang Ren must still hold grudges about Feng girl, so he won't help you. Let me tell you the truth, my Paner When the accident happened, I had the thought of dying, and now I have finally survived. Forget it, let’s just pretend that our natal family doesn’t have such relatives.”

Mrs. Wang shook her head and said, "No, sister, if my brother was still alive, he would definitely not treat us like this. Now he is my brother's stepson, not to mention that my brother's property is all his, but the second brother gave him 300-[-]% of the family property. He shouldn't be like this. Alas, forget it, he is young after all, if he said he has no family affection, he gave me these [-] taels. No, I'd better go live at the family temple, so as not to drag you down."

Aunt Xue hurriedly said: "Sister, there are only two of us old sisters in the capital. If we don't take care of each other, what will others say about us? Don't worry, you are my sister, Bao girl is my daughter, and Kui'er is my grandson." Let’s save some money. Last time Xue Biao asked Wang Renshao from Jinling to bring 2000 taels of silver bills. We can still help. Tonight, I will ask Bao girl to write to Jinling to see if I can ask them to help .”

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang said hurriedly: "Sister, you can write to them. As for the money, I think Xue Biao and his wife and Baoqin will help if they are rich. Needless to say, they will also help. Now I don't know how the master and Baoyu are doing. If Baoyu comes out, then I don’t worry about it, I’ll go back to Nanjing, there are still some houses and fields there, and it shouldn’t be difficult to eat and live.”

Aunt Xue said: "Sister, don't worry, I'll ask Guanshi Zhang and Qing'er to inquire when they have time. We will naturally know if there is any news."

On May [-]th, when Mrs. Wang was anxiously waiting for the news of the disposition of the man in Jia's mansion, Qing'er, Xue Pan's servant, came in from the outside and said, "Mrs. The master has already died of illness in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, because he is a person who committed a serious crime. And Brother Lang is at most exiled. But I don’t know if it’s true or not, but I’ve heard about the Dragon Boat Festival, you can go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to visit the men’s prison.”

Mrs. Wang heard that, although she hated Jia Amnesty for the overthrow of the nest, but the man had passed away and was abandoned in the grave by the soul, she couldn't help worrying about Jia Zheng and Baoyu, and she couldn't help crying.

Aunt Xue sighed: "Sister, there is no unparalleled road. Since the emperor has allowed to visit the prison, it means that brother-in-law and Baoyu will not commit serious crimes. I will visit them tomorrow."

Baochai hurriedly said, "Mom, I'll go tomorrow. I'll send something to Uncle and Baoyu."

Mrs. Wang said: "I don't know what happened to the old lady and the others at Grandma Liu's place. Sister, I want Tong Xi and Qing'er to tell the old lady and them. If the old lady knows that they can visit the prison, she will definitely let people go."

After hearing this, Aunt Xue nodded and said, "What my sister said is that I will let Qinger and Tongxi visit the old lady right now."

But it is said that Jia Mu and Mrs. Xing Ping'er lived in Grandma Liu's son-in-law's house for some days. Although Wang Gou'er's family lived in a poor life, they were very kind to everyone.Grandma Liu is several years older than Jia Mu, but she tries to talk to Jia Mu as much as possible every day.Mother Jia was really touched by the family's friendship, and Hu Po Qiutong and Ping'er Qiao sister helped with some housework.

On April 28th, Wang Gou'er came back from the city and told Jia Mu that he had found an old house in Hejia Lane near Ximen. He said that although it was old, it was very spacious. It can be moved in after some repairs.

Mother Jia was happy to hear this, and asked the price.Wang Gou'er said: "Because that place is the sacrificial field of your Jia's mansion outside the city gate, and the people there are mostly farmers and half merchants. If the family members thank you, you can live with two families, so the price is 600 taels of silver. "

Mother Jia hurriedly asked, "How much will it cost to repair?"

Wang Gou'er said: "Old lady, if you want to repair it, I will ask someone to help you repair it. It is estimated that two or three hundred taels will be enough."

Jia's mother said to Ping'er, "Ping'er, tomorrow you can accompany my uncle to look at the house. If you can, you can buy it. Then I will give you the money for the repairs."

Ping'er said: "Don't worry, old lady, I'll go tomorrow."

Early the next morning, Wang Gou'er brought Ban'er and Ping'er Amber, and took the 4000 taels of silver from Jia's mother to the city to look at the house together.Before noon, several people had come back, saying that they had bought the house and added some necessary daily utensils, which cost a total of 690 taels.

Mother Jia asked Ping'er to give the remaining 310 taels to Wang Gou'er, and asked him to hire someone to repair the house as soon as possible.

On May [-]th, Wang Gou'er told Jia Mudao that the house had been completely repaired, because the next day was the Dragon Boat Festival, so Jia Mu decided to move back to the city on May [-]th.

At noon time, Tong Xi brought Qing'er over.He talked about Mrs. Wang's situation at Xue's house, and told Mother Jia what he had heard.Fortunately, Mrs. Xing had an eye disease and was lying on the bed at that time, so she didn't hear that Jia Amnesty had died of illness.

When Jia's mother heard that Jia Amnesty was dead, she only sighed, but did not shed tears.Because she knew that if Jia Amnesty did not die of illness, he might not escape death.Rather than becoming a ghost under the knife by then, it is better to be like this now.

Mother Jia has lived to be nearly 80 years old now, what else has she not experienced?

However, I am a little relieved that the emperor finally allowed to visit the men's prison. Presumably Jia Zheng and his son's crimes will not be too serious.

When Tong Xiqing'er left, Mother Jia asked them to help her find out, and told them that they had bought a private house in the city, saying that once they moved back to the city, they would definitely send people to Xue's house to pick them up.

The next day was the Dragon Boat Festival, and Mother Jia asked Ping'er and Amber to go out and buy some fish, and asked them to help prepare a table of rare and sumptuous meals under the kitchen, saying that she wanted to thank Grandma Liu's family.

Mother Jia was very grateful and said to Grandma Liu: "Old relatives, we used to have so many wealthy relatives and friends in the capital, but now you are the only one who helps us so sincerely. I am grateful to you from the bottom of my heart. I only wish your family all the best and peace in all seasons."

Grandma Liu hurriedly said: "Old lady, we farmers, we are honest. The old lady's family is so kind and has helped our family several times. You come to live here now, and it is too late for our family to thank you. There is no need for this!"
