The servant of Ying, the god of the Red Chamber, only loves farming

Not to mention that some rare treasures were intentionally added to the drawings. Baoyu looked at Jia Zheng and said, "Father really wants to build this family-saving villa?" The villa is a place where noble concubines and concubines visit their relatives, so it should be more grand, if there is another reason, Baoyu might as well talk about it."

Baoyu pointed to several places on the blueprint and said frankly: "The construction of this villa is costly, not to mention the most manpower needed to maintain the magnificent scenery of the villa after completion. Baoyu feels that sister Yuanchun may not like this." Baoyu recalled Yuanchun in his memory "Sister Yuanchun doesn't like extravagance at all. Doesn't it mean that my father has spent so much time on this matter because of my sister's heart?"

Jia Zheng stroked his beard and thought that Baoyu was still young and didn't understand the key to it. Jia Zheng looked at Baoyu who had grown to his chest and thought in his heart that it would be better to just use this opportunity to get rid of these twists and turns. Tell Baoyu to know.

Jia Zheng said patiently: "Although Yuanchun admired the simple and simple style, it is different today. Yuanchun is now a noble concubine. She not only wins the honor of the sage, but also bears the majesty of the heavenly family. Only by building such a grand family-friendly villa can I be in harmony with the heavenly family. It is commensurate with the majesty of the family, and it can also show respect to the Holy Majesty." Jia Zheng touched Baoyu's head and said slowly: "There are still ways to be an official in these things, and my father will teach you slowly."

Baoyu bowed his head and thought for a while, but he didn't think so in his heart. Baoyu then said: "The day before yesterday, Baoyu went to the prince's mansion in Beijing. The prince was worrying about the soldiers guarding the border. The son felt that instead of wasting money on the family's family villa, It's better to spend it on meaningful things." Baoyu thought of something, his eyes lit up and said: "Father, why don't we take out some of the money from repairing the family's villa and donate it to the border guards who guard the country and the home; okay? ?”

Jia Zheng was stopped by Baoyu.

What Baoyu meant was to offer the money to the imperial court as military pay.Could it be that Baoyu learned something from the King of Beijing that he didn't?

Jia Zheng asked, "What does Baoyu know?" Baoyu nodded and replied, "Baoyu heard from the prince of Beijing that the army's salary in Ping'anzhou was too expensive. The pen is used for emergencies in Ping'an Island." Baoyu's eyebrows were twisted into Chuanzi, he didn't understand what the prince said; Baoyu just felt that tearing down the east wall and repairing the west wall could solve the temporary problem but not the root cause.

Baoyu also didn't understand why the prince of Beijing mentioned the matter of asking for military pay in Pinganzhou, and his brows were so frown that he could kill a fly;

When Jia Zheng heard this, his face tightened and he signaled Baoyu to stop first, then he opened the door and looked around and saw no one, then closed the door and led Baoyu to the inner room to discuss the matter in detail.

Baoyu told Jia Zheng what he knew and said: "Father, the soldiers elsewhere are really pitiful. Baoyu heard that some poor families lived on the soldiers' salary. Wouldn't it be too much if the military salary was reduced? more miserable?"

Jia Zheng listened to Baoyu's words and thought about it carefully. If Baoyu didn't mention this, Jia Zheng would most likely choose to build according to the drawings.But Baoyu's expression is true, not to mention that Baoyu has a close relationship with the Prince of Beijing, so what Baoyu said is probably true.

In the past few days, Jia Zheng has heard the scriptures sent by Ping Anzhou in the court hall, and Jia Zheng has also heard some rumors, but most of them are rumors, so it is hard to tell whether they are true or not.

But there is one thing Jia Zheng is sure of: His Majesty has been in a bad mood these past few days.

I think I'm worrying about this matter. If so, then the construction of the villa doesn't seem so urgent; this matter needs to be considered carefully.Jia Zheng had a measure in his mind that if he followed Baoyu's words of offering money to the imperial court, it would not only bring great joy to the sage, but also bring no harm to the children under his knees.Jia Zheng even thought about it, saying that Yuanchun is now in favor, and with this matter, Yuanchun's position may be more stable.

"What Baoyu said is not unreasonable." Jia Zheng put down the sketch in his hand and said, "Father will ask someone to draw a new sketch." Baoyu was very happy when he heard that, and Jia Zheng talked with Baoyu again The children's words left Baoyu to go.

Jia Zheng had a clear idea in his mind, and Jia's mansion stopped working on finding someone to build a family-friendly villa earlier; Jia Zheng took care of everything and waited until the emperor mentioned this matter early in the morning.

When I talked about the military pay, I didn't want these courtiers to be more muffled than the other, and each of them could speak out a solution; I felt that it was a waste of energy to stare at the courtiers all day long.

Jia Zheng came out and said: "I report to the Holy Majesty, I would like to do my best to relieve the Majesty's worries." Jia Zheng presented a single booklet, and now he unfolded the single booklet, and his frown gradually eased. Jinshang closed the single volume and said with a big smile, "Okay, Ai Qing has such a heart, my heart is very happy." Looking at the courtiers below who didn't understand what he meant, Jinshang said in a good mood: "This single volume has the same meaning. What I wrote is that Jia Aiqing feels the suffering of the soldiers on the frontier, and I would like to offer a sum of money to respect the soldiers."

The group of courtiers secretly scolded Jia Zheng as an old fox, the Holy One just told them today that Jia Zheng would present this single book, so they could be so quick to tell that he and the Holy One were acting together, in order to force them to follow suit.

Jia Zheng, that old fox, is so listless.

Today, I am very satisfied with Jia Zheng's move, and I think of the arrangement that Jia's family has put aside for the Yuanchun province these days; presumably, they took out the money.Thinking about this, today's favor towards Jia Zheng and Yuan Chun has doubled, and relative dissatisfaction towards the Zhou clan.

Concubine Zhou also had to have a visit in the next year. Jia Zhou's family visits on a similar date, and the Zhou family is also building the residence of the concubine's relatives during this period of time.During the period when the Jia family stopped, the Zhou family intensified and even expanded.

Today's seemingly invisible eyes fell on Zhou Wei, and Zhou Wei shuddered.

With Jia Zheng's start, King Beijing was even more willing to make a contribution; the remaining courtiers with the two leading the way stood up one after another no matter how reluctant they were.Looking at the courtiers with satisfaction today, he said: "I am so relieved to have you."

Zhou Wei was the last one to express his opinion. The Zhou family spent a lot of money to repair the residence of the noble concubine and visit relatives; Thinking that the donation from the court would not be too much, he donated some at will.

Unexpectedly, after two days, the palace released the news.

Concubine Zhou lost her dignity in front of the palace and was reduced to Concubine Zhou, who was confined in the palace.

Alarm bells rang out in Zhou Wei's heart, and he hurriedly selected a large sum of money from the mansion and sent it to the palace without hesitation.

Zhou Wei waited in the mansion but did not wait for news from the palace, he was as anxious as a grasshopper on a hot pot; Concubine Zhou was the only support of the Zhou family, if something went wrong, the Zhou family could not help it. bear the consequences.

Jia Zheng also heard a little about Zhou Guifei's accident; Jia Zheng now only feels afraid when he thinks about it.

If Baoyu hadn't persuaded him at the time, or Jia Zheng himself hadn't listened to the advice, I'm afraid Yuanchun would be the fate of the imperial concubine of Zhou.

In just a few days, the court raised a lot of money.I don't know where this matter spread to the people. The people in the capital saw that the officials gave out money to show respect .

Some took out their own cloth, which was airy and soft, and used it to sew military uniforms, while others set aside some of their surplus food and sent it to the government to express their affection.Seeing the generosity of the officials and people in the capital, King Beijing was quite moved.Only by working harder on this matter can we live up to the enthusiasm of everyone.

Soon the money raised by the capital, except for a part of the money collected as the national treasury for future needs, the rest was used as military pay and sent to various places to distribute to the soldiers;

Jia Zheng did a good job in this matter, and as Jia Zheng thought, Yuan Chun was more favored because of this matter, and his status was also stabilized; Yuan Chun also acted more cautiously.

More than a month has passed since this incident, and Jia Zheng just rebuilt the family-speaking villa; but compared to the previous luxury, the rebuilt one is much more streamlined but still generous and extravagant.

The renovation of the villa was completed in the spring of the following year. Jia Zheng wanted to bring his staff together to name the various scenery in the family-speaking villa.Baoyu suggested that it is better to let the sisters in the mansion try to show their respect for Yuanchun.Jia Zheng wanted to show the friendship between Yuanchun and the sisters this time, so he agreed.The girls in Jia's mansion got this errand and followed Jia Zheng and Baoyu in and out of the villa. Everyone was very attentive, and some of the names were so ingenious that even Jia Zheng couldn't stop praising them.

Jia Zheng especially admired Bao Dai's talents. Jia Zheng found someone to make a plaque according to the words mentioned by the girls and hang it up.

Everything in Jia's mansion has been settled properly, just waiting for the day when Yuanchun visits relatives is getting closer.

Early in the morning of the Dragon Boat Festival, Yuan Chun prepared the etiquette of visiting relatives in the palace.Concubine Zhou originally visited her relatives a few days earlier in Yuanchun, but now she has not been restored after being reduced to a concubine; the matter of visiting relatives has not been mentioned again by the emperor, I am afraid that she will not be able to return this time.

Everyone in Jia's mansion stood outside the door early in the morning, waiting for Yuan Chun.Jia's mother was accompanied by Mrs. Wang, and every bit of Yuan Chun's stay in Jia's mansion came to mind, as if the child Yuan Chun was still in Jia's mansion and hadn't entered the palace.

Yuan Chun just left the palace gate after going through the tedious etiquette.Yuan Chun sat on the sedan chair, wishing he could fly to Jia's mother and others immediately, but he could not hear the silver bells and music, Yuan Chun just wanted to see everyone in Jia's house as soon as possible.

These years, she thought about them very tightly.

Missing every moment.

Jia's mansion is very popular now, and the eunuchs in the palace dare not delay, and every hour, someone will explain in detail what Yuan Chun has done.When the setting sun was setting, the moonlight hung on the branches faintly, and the silver bells of the Yuanchun sedan chair were getting closer and closer.Mrs. Wang stood behind Jia's mother, tightly clutching the square handkerchief in her hand, sweating nervously until the imperial concubine's sedan chair stopped at the main gate of Jia's mansion, and the summons from the palace servants woke her up. God has passed.

Her daughter finally came back.
