Looking at Jiamu's serious appearance, Daiyu felt very funny, but she had to wonder whether this old lady was too shrewd, or she was too defenseless against her, or she had lived a comfortable life for too long, so long that she let go of it. All the scheming has been worn away, "What did the old lady say, the family, if I can help, they will definitely not refuse." Blinking at Jia Zhen who seemed to have seen through her trap, it was not Dai Yu has full trust in Jia Zhen, but she is not afraid that Jia Zhen will expose her at all. The sisters have already secretly reminded him that if Jia Zhen had treated her sincerely, if he was smart, he would know what to do. How to do it?
Jia Zhen looked helplessly at Daiyu's innocent appearance, thinking that she had been deceived by her face, and touched her nose. He was just a theatergoer, but there were some things he needed to confirm in the end, although he had already I started to do it, but it's not a small thing when I get older, he also wants to feel at ease after all.
Jia Mu's eyes swept over everyone one by one, and finally said in the tone of the head of the family: "You also know that the mother in the palace will visit relatives next year, and now the construction of the relatives' garden has begun. Originally, I thought that the money in the mansion would not "
"Old lady, you don't need to tell our eldest house about money," Jia She said, "you can use as much silver as you have in the mansion, but you also know that our eldest house is now being raised by my daughter. Not even a piece of silver."
"She'er," interrupted by Jia She, Mother Jia was naturally displeased, but another person who was even more unhappy interrupted Mother Jia's next words.
"The old man's words are wrong. Although we have not separated now, who doesn't know that the old man's family does not say that he has a salary. You have to be trusted." Such a tone, such a directness, can only come from Mrs. Wang's mouth.
Rao Jia She is thick-skinned and a little embarrassed, of course not to everyone in the Rongguo Mansion, but even with Mrs. Xing, Jia Lian looked a little uncomfortable looking at Daiyu. A lot of silver taels, but Yingchun made her bear all the expenses when she made the promise. Now that she was exposed so directly, she blushed slightly, and was more really annoyed at Mrs. Wang.
Daiyu looked at the three of them amusedly, and caught a glimpse of Mrs. Wang's complacent appearance from the corner of her eyes, so how could she not understand her tricks, "Don't worry about it, my elder sister gave you the prerequisite at the beginning, as long as you don't cause trouble, She is willing to bear all your expenses, and so am I."
"Hehe," Daiyu said, Jia She's family of three immediately became sunny. Thinking about it carefully, there was nothing wrong with me. There is always a way out, isn't it?In comparison, Mrs. Wang's face is dark enough.
"I'm talking about the second child. It seems that your family doesn't care about your family law. After all, I can be regarded as her uncle." Jia Amnesty made the most of his troubles. Maybe he and Jia Lian are enough. Shameless, but their minds are quite normal, and they even turn very fast in one direction. Once Jia Amnesty got angry with Mrs. Wang, he will definitely use it on Jia Zheng. He felt that although his family was not from a rich family, But compared to the stupid woman opposite, it was much better.
Jia Lian lowered his head tacitly. He usually doesn't interrupt if his father is involved. If he is implicated, he will usually point his gun at Baoyu, because the possibility of winning is very high, and he will not be left behind. The last name that disrespected the elders.
Madam Xing usually would not interrupt whenever there were Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian, because she knew that it was best for her not to say anything, and the mouths of the two father and son would not be at a disadvantage under normal circumstances.
Jia Zheng just gave Mrs. Wang a very disgusted look, and then said to Jia Zheng: "Brother, don't mind, it's because I'm not strict with the housekeeping, so I made my brother laugh." I had to apologize, after all, it was my wife's wrong.
"Okay, let's get down to business." Seeing that Jia She was about to speak again, Jia's mother quickly interrupted, "She, whether you like it or not, your surname is now Jia. This is a fact that can't be changed no matter what. Now that you are still living in Rongguo Mansion, do you really have to do something like this?"
"Old lady, what you said is wrong. Why do you have to do it so badly?" Jia She said, "It stands to reason that there is no separation now, and I have a share of the money in the house. I don't even want it now." Now, what else does the old lady think of me? Do you really want me to give the little salary in my hand and the pitiful rent of the two Zhuangzi to the old lady, so that you can build a garden for your mother, old lady, You also have to leave a way out for us Dafang, don’t you? You can’t be so partial and force us so.”
Mother Jia looked at Jia She, who was dressed better than herself, crying poorly in front of her, and felt as uncomfortable as she wanted. White-eyed wolf, it really is like this, no wonder that girl Yingchun refused to recognize her when she gained power. Yes, it's definitely hereditary, "Your Majesty is always your niece. As an uncle, you should do something." Jia Mu quickly calmed herself down, and her tone softened.
Jia Amnesty also didn't want to get into trouble. After all, he had already figured out that Yingchun had to make such a promise by himself. It was very likely that their crime would affect Yingchun. To be honest, he didn't care about his surname, let alone the old lady. It's not her biological mother either. It's just that if Yingchun is affected and his own welfare is affected by moving out, he can't stand it. Now that he is living such a comfortable and carefree life, he really doesn't want to go back to The father and son were always thinking of counting others or selling valuables for money. He thought he would not be able to bear to return to such a tight life. Since the old lady was willing to take a step back, he let it go. "So, how much does the old lady want me to pay?" Jia She asked.
Daiyu looked at Jia She's family of three with a smile on their faces after Jia She's words. It was really funny enough. The father and son are probably very smart, and they turn very fast. Hehe, sister, I am afraid you have never seen such an interesting person. Seeing the expressions of the three of them staring at Jiamu cautiously, it seems that they are afraid that she will say something. The amount they can't accept, but in Daiyu's view, the three iron cocks will feel uncomfortable even if they pay one or two hundred taels of silver. The three mice, Daiyu is afraid that she will lose control and laugh uncontrollably. He quickly picked up the teacup on the coffee table and made a demonstration of drinking tea.
Mrs. Jia was thinking about how much to let this stingy son pay so that he could accept it. Seeing Mrs. Jia hesitate, Mrs. Wang didn't care about Jia Zheng's eyes anymore, as if she was afraid that the old lady would suffer a lot if she didn't , thinking about it, a number blurted out, "20 taels."
"Cough cough," even though Daiyu didn't drink tea, she couldn't help coughing. This Mrs. Wang really dared to say anything, and the snow geese beside her immediately became frightened by her, put down the teacup, and waved her hand to signal that she was fine. , hastily raised her head to see the expressions of the three of Jia Amnesty, she didn't want to miss it at all.
Sure enough, if it was possible, the jaws of the three of them would definitely fall off the ground, and at the same time, they would stare at Mrs. Wang with wide eyes as if they were looking at a lunatic monster. It may be that they were too stimulated and frightened, and the three of them were dumbfounded. , there was no response at all.
Jia Zhen secretly rejoiced that she was not drinking tea. Well, he knew that 20 taels could be taken out by people like them, but it was still a lot of money, but this lady, the lion opened her mouth. Want to see the object.
Although Jia Mu was angry, she still pursed her lips tightly and said nothing. After all, she just wanted to get some silver taels from Lin Yatou when she mentioned this matter today. .
It took a while for Jia Shen to realize that they really had 20 taels, but it was absolutely impossible for them to spend so much. After taking a deep breath, Jia Shen said, "Second brother, you If this woman is sick, please find a doctor to treat her quickly, otherwise, if something goes wrong, the Wang family will definitely cause trouble, and I think if there is an incurable disease, no one will say anything even if she dies." With a serious tone, It's really like a big brother who is worried about his younger brother.
"What do you mean?" Mrs. Wang realized in an instant that Jia She was cursing her, her tone became even worse, and her voice also became sharper, which was extraordinarily harsh in a quiet environment.
"What do you mean?" Jia She looked at Mrs. Wang with a sneer, 20, isn't that killing him? "You are not crazy, you are insane. To build a garden, you need me to pay 20 taels. Leaving aside the public money in the mansion, we know how much it is. If you want to pay 20 yuan, what do you want to do? Build a palace."
"I," Mrs. Wang realized that she had said too much. After all, according to Bao Yatou's estimation, if she could raise another 20 taels, Yuanchun's garden could be built very well, and she didn't need to spend money. You can save a fortune here, so the words just slipped out of her mouth so quickly.
"Okay, why are you arguing?" Mother Jia interrupted Mrs. Wang's displeasure, "You guys are going to be arguing endlessly about every little thing, what does it look like?"
Mrs. Wang didn't speak, but Jia Amnesty said impatiently: "In short, we will never be able to get the 20 yuan from our eldest house." When it came out, it went into Mrs. Wang's pocket. Who didn't know that she and Xue's family were responsible for building the garden. They would only think about how much money there was in it, and they would never think about less.
"Then how much can you pay?" Jia's mother could only follow Jia She's words now, frowning, she just hoped that the amount he said would not be too small.
At least for a short time, there will be no Daiyu's own affairs. Sitting on the side, she feels her stomach cramps from laughing. God knows how hard it is for her to maintain such an elegant and indifferent smile. She is looking forward to Jia She's words out the numbers.
"2000 taels." Jia She did not hesitate but resolutely reduced Mrs. Wang's 20 by a hundred times. It seemed that everyone was a little angry and did not speak, but Jia Lian and Mrs. Xing were very satisfied with this figure.
"2000 taels, sir, you are sending beggars!" A high-pitched voice sounded again, and Madam Wang's appearance of being stimulated was definitely no less than the stimulation she gave Jia Amnesty just now.
"Hehe, second younger brother and sister, you are wrong in saying that." Perhaps it was Mrs. Wang's words that pleased Jia She, and the wretched smile and indecent appearance appeared on his face, "This is according to the old lady's request. , with the kindness of an uncle to the empress in the palace, who has such a mother as you, and even said that her daughter is a beggar, hey, poor empress, I don’t know how sad I am when I hear it.”
"I," Mrs. Wang's uneasy mouth began to tremble after being blocked by Jia She, and she also realized that she had just said something wrong, and insisted forcefully, "I didn't."
"Shut up, don't talk if you can't talk," Jia Zheng didn't want to pay attention to such troublesome things at first, "don't think that I really won't divorce you for the sake of my mother." In fact, Jia Zheng knew in his heart that now He really didn't dare, no matter how much he hated this stupid woman, for Yuan Chun's sake, he had to endure it.
But this time, maybe Jia Zheng's words lost the momentum of the past. Mrs. Wang really didn't believe it, but when Baochai gently pulled her sleeves, she didn't have the posture of arguing just now. Even though he muttered softly, he said in a very disgusted tone: "Well, it's 2000 taels, but thanks to him being able to say it, I really don't feel ashamed."
Jia Amnesty didn't take these words to heart at all, what's wrong with embarrassment, the lack of money will kill him, so he didn't answer, just looked at Jiamu.
"Xie'er, I didn't mean you. You are quite old and you are the head of the family. You paid too little for the 2000 taels." Jia Mu frowned and said, "Yuan Chun is not a bit of a status now." People who don't have it, didn't you slap her in the face like this?"
Well, thinking about giving 2000 taels to a harem lady is too little, Jia Amnesty is acquiescing to Jia's mother's words, "Then how much does the old lady say? We absolutely don't have 20 taels. Even if we are forced to die, we can't buy it." Impossible to get it out."
"Who asked you to pay 20 taels?" Jia Mu looked at Jia She and breathed a sigh of relief. She calculated in her heart that the difference was only 20 taels. Looking at the people present, "5 taels, you are [-] taels." , [-] chains."
Jia She and Jia Lian frowned at the same time, 5 taels is too much, although what they don't lack now is silver taels, but handing over such an important thing in their hands not only hurts them, but there is no place in their bodies. The place is comfortable.
"Don't shake your head yet," Mother Jia said, "Because the second bedroom is the mother's direct relative, so I paid 8 taels." As soon as the words came out, Mrs. Wang quit, not enough to be caught by the imposing eyes of Mother Jia. Press it down, and said: "Don't yell at me, Baoyu is not married yet, but if you really don't, you can borrow some from Xue's family. The most important thing now is to build a garden for your mother. If you don't want to , I will not say anything."
Mrs. Wang didn't say anything when she heard Jia Mu's words, and Baochai stopped her. She quickly realized that the mansion's silver taels were actually enough to build a garden. Raise money for the mansion after the garden is built.
Baochai didn't even say a word, she had already calculated that the Xue family could earn far more than that by building a yard for the empress, besides, didn't the old lady say it?It's a loan. Since this is the case, as a businessman, she will ask for an loan no matter what. If she doesn't understand the behavior of these people in Rongguo Mansion at all, then hasn't Xue Baochai been in vain all these years?
Seeing that the people below were unwilling to pay, but no one objected, Mother Jia felt a little better, and looked at Jia Zhen, "Zhen'er, the glory of the empress belongs to the entire Jia family, you as the patriarch No matter how you say it, you can get 5 taels of silver."
Jia Zhen just smiled and didn't express her opinion. She looked at Daiyu who was still watching the show from the corner of her eyes, and looked at her after feeling her gaze. There was the answer he wanted in those mischievous eyes, "Old man Ma'am, since I am the patriarch of the Jia family, I should think about the big family of the Jia family, and besides, I have already said about the matter of the empress, our Ning mansion is not rich, so naturally we will not give money."
"Zhen'er, why do you say that?" Jia's mother really didn't expect Jia Zhen to object, after all, 5 taels is really nothing to Ningfu, and Jia Zhen didn't want Jia Amnesty to be so stingy, she thought Jia Zhen is the best to speak.
"It's not a matter of silver," Jia Zhen said, "Old lady, after all, I have a family as big as Ning's mansion to support, and besides, we are two mansions, so I don't have a name if I contribute a sum of money. I, Jia Zhen, am the real direct descendant of the Jia family, and my mother, to put it bluntly, is far from my relationship, so I said, we are ashamed to share the glory of this day, precisely because of this, just Not to mention not being able to give out money, if this spreads, it will also have an impact on the empress's reputation."
"Aren't we all from the Jia family?" Mother Jia said with some displeasure.
"But the old lady probably forgot that the elder master and the second master are both adopted, and they are already far away relatives from me, let alone my mother, if I pay 5 taels of silver, where is Ronger? There are other clansmen who are close to me, how can I explain it." Jia Zhen spoke with confidence, he is not Jia She, and he will probably visit the door less in the future. The reason why I came here today is just to get a favor from Daiyu. Yes.
"Zhen'er, what do you mean?" Mrs. Wang was very dissatisfied. She had already calculated in her heart that no matter whether she could pay the 8 taels of silver, if the two of them agreed, the mansion would be worth 10 taels more. The income of ten thousand taels, as soon as Jia's mother said, she already regarded the 10 taels as something in her pocket. How could she not be in a hurry when she heard Jia Zhen say so.
"Second wife," Jia Zhen looked at Mrs. Wang with a smile, "as the patriarch, I should be qualified to send you back to the Wang family to re-learn the three obediences and four virtues, or you don't pay attention to me, the patriarch, or even the entire Jia family. , I should also be qualified to send you out of the Jia family forever, and when I am free, I will definitely tell the head of the Wang family that there may be a very serious problem with their tutoring."
Mrs. Wang was said so by such a self-confessed junior, the color on her face had to be said to be very exciting, blue, red, white, blue and black constantly alternated, a pair of not very big eyes stared at Jia Zhen closely, the eyes seemed to be It's as if she wants to get out of her eye sockets, but no matter how monstrous her psychological anger is, she can only bite her lips tightly. When she meets Jia Zhen's cold eyes, she clearly understands that the person in front of her can really do it. to what he said.
Everyone looked at Jia Zhen in disbelief, although they all knew that Jia Zhen was the patriarch of the family, maybe he had always acted mildly, respected the elders, got along well with the peers, and treated the juniors very well. It's love, approachability, and the time is too long, which made them forget that Jia Zhen also has a temper. Jia She's family was just told by Jia's mother, thinking about the 5 taels of silver, they were aggrieved, and they recovered. Come on, the three of them obviously had gloating expressions on their faces.
Mother Jia, Jia Zheng hates Mrs. Wang, especially what she has done today, even they would like to beat her to death, or just throw her into the Buddhist hall for ten days and half a month and let her die on her own, but After hearing a junior say that about their family members, the two of them felt very complicated. They looked at Jia Zhen with slight dissatisfaction. It's not that Jia Zhen didn't see it, but he just didn't care. Sister Lin has already nodded, so what does that mean?The empress Yuanchun won't last long, and even the Rongguo Mansion will be implicated. At this time, she paid 5 taels of silver, and she is not being taken advantage of. If something happens to the Rongguo Mansion, the Ning Mansion will definitely be implicated. What he has to do now, Just arrange the way out as soon as possible, he feels that the second sister's warning to Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian can also be used as a reference, but Jia Zhen frowned, why would the two younger sisters have such a big enmity with the Rongguo Mansion, and would forgive such a big circle Tossing Rongguo Mansion, he is too aware of the gap between these people from the highest to the lowest, the behavior of these two sisters can be said to be ruthless, the reason?
Jia Zhen looked at Daiyu without any trace, what on earth is it?
The room was very quiet, and everyone was thinking about their own thoughts until, "Is Zhen'er saying this to break the relationship between the two houses?" Jia's mother asked Jia Zhen with some confusion. Smart and prudent, how could he do such a stupid thing? Not to mention that the Rongguo Mansion is now in the limelight, just talk about the relationship between two princesses and a concubine. How many people want to get in touch with their mansion nowadays, but how could Zhen'er Stupid.
"If I don't pay the 5 taels of silver, the old lady will break off the relationship between the two houses, and I have no objection." Jia Zhen knew what she was thinking when she saw Jia Mu's questioning and expression. In fact, he is not smarter than others, if not for the many hints from the two sisters, it would be impossible to persist like this now, "The Ning family has never thought of wanting to be honored by the empress."
"You," Jia Mu saw the persistence in Jia Zhen's eyes. She could do it for the eldest and second child in the family, but, for Jia Zhen, even if he was the patriarch, Jia Mu couldn't do anything. After all, even if he was the Jia family The nominal old matriarch is also the one with the highest seniority, but if he is in the clan, what he says is far less useful than Jia Zhen, the patriarch. The rest of the clan couldn't say anything either.
"Forget it, since you have said so," Mother Jia sighed, with a sad face, "Zhen'er has grown up and has her own ideas." She has not forgotten that her main purpose is to learn from the forest. Get money from the girl, that's the real head start.
Jia Zhen remained silent, and didn't say anything to what Jia's mother said. Anyway, he made up his mind and would never interfere with the affairs of Rongguo Mansion again. "Old lady, are you okay?" Daiyu asked with a worried face.
"It's okay," squeezed out a smile, and saw that the concern in Daiyu's eyes was not fake at all. Jia Zhen's anger just now passed a lot, and Jia's mother also took advantage of Daiyu's concern and continued, "It's just that I've been worrying about my mother's garden these days. Lin girl, grandma really can't do anything this time. I just heard that you still have some money in hand. I wonder if I can borrow some."
Listening to Jiamu's bitter words, Daiyu lowered her head, raised her head after a moment of silence, and said with a smile: "The old lady's words are outrageous, I don't know how much the old lady needs?" And cast a very sharp look in the past.
"Madam Lin, don't you know that our mansion looks beautiful, but actually we don't have much money," Jia Mu said, "There are hundreds of people in the whole mansion, and they rely on the Zhuangzi left by their ancestors to collect rent. Adding in the other little income, it is actually very tight, but even if we are suffering, we don't want to wrong the empress."
That's right, when a dish is made into dozens of processes, it's not so bitter. Look at the silk and satin on your body, each of you is almost catching up with the empress in the palace, and this decoration, although there is no No matter what the taste is, I am afraid that it can be compared with the first-rank officials of the imperial court, or even the relatives of the emperor.
"Old lady, don't say that," Daiyu knew in her heart, but her face was comforting, but she was very measured in her words. Listening to Daiyu, she felt that refugees were crying for poverty. No wonder other people They all lowered their heads, probably not because they were sad, but because they felt very ashamed, "We are all a family, so if the old lady has anything to say, just say it."
"Okay then," Mother Jia looked very embarrassed, but finally said: "Girl Lin, if it's not a last resort, I can't say this. Grandmother wants to borrow a sum of money from you to build a garden for your mother. "
"Well," Daiyu nodded, her expression unchanged, "I know that, old lady, I also asked just now, I don't know how much the old lady wants to borrow?" Why so much nonsense.
"Even if we eat less and drink less, we can't wrong the empress in the palace," Jiamu said in a very firm tone this time: "I have roughly calculated the expenses for going out to the mansion, and everything for the empress when she returns home. The cost, plus the money for the garden, the mansion is still short of 50."
Everyone took a deep breath and looked at Mother Jia. Even with the impact of the second wife's 20 taels just now, they still felt that the old lady had said too much. Turning their heads, looking at Daiyu, they noticed her expression It still didn't change at all, and they all breathed a sigh of relief. Of course, there were also nervousness. The three members of Jia She's family were really afraid that Daiyu would nod and agree without them.
The room was quiet again, Daiyu pursed her lips tightly, looked at Jiamu with clear eyes, and said after a long time, "Since the old lady has spoken, I have absolutely no reason not to agree." After hearing what Daiyu said, Even the joy in Jia Mu's eyes flashed away, and Mrs. Wang almost screamed, even wondering if there was something wrong with her ears just now, Xue Baochai looked at Daiyu suspiciously, When did she talk so easily?There must be some kind of conspiracy, but Jia Zhen sees it somewhat clearly.
"It's just that 50 taels is not a small amount after all, plus it was left to me by my father," Daiyu said with a smile, "So, old lady, I hope that one of you who borrowed it will write me an IOU. Of course, we It is a family, so naturally there is no need to charge any interest, but when to pay it back, you still have to write clearly."
Mother Jia was slightly displeased when she heard what Daiyu said. She had no intention of repaying the so-called borrowing at all. Now that the girl said this, she didn't know how to answer the question. On the other hand, Madam Wang and Wang Xifeng They started to make calculations, and after a while, the three of them thought of going together. No matter what, they should borrow the money first. As for the repayment, the old lady is the only relative of this girl in the world after all. They don't believe it. If there is no one in the mansion, this girl will really sue them to the Yamen, besides, 50 taels, no interest, if it is in their hands, it will be different.
"Madam Lin is right," Mother Jia smiled amiably after she figured it out, "Zheng'er, Your Majesty is your daughter, so you can write this IOU."
"Yes, old lady," Jia Zheng naturally would not object to the old lady's words, and Lin Yatou's words were not wrong. Even if he didn't care about family affairs, he knew that 50 taels was not a small amount. Can last for a while.
In order to prevent things from changing, Mother Jia ordered Yuanyang to prepare pens and ink, and asked Jia Zheng to write about the financial difficulties on the spot, while Daiyu asked Xuezhu to get the bank notes, and brought the people from the Ministry of Punishment here as a way of justice. Officially, everyone was stunned, and Jia Zhen became more clear about what she thought, but he still didn't understand why this sister Lin treated Rongguo Mansion like this. As far as he knew, sister Lin was treated quite well in Rongguo Mansion. Gao, even if he was wronged, it is impossible to generate such a great hatred for it, so that such a large circle will come to rectify the Rongguo Mansion, but Jia Zhen still underestimated the future fate of the Rongguo Mansion.
"Old lady, I have one more request," Daiyu said with a smile. She often doesn't interfere in her sister's business affairs because she doesn't have much interest. However, no one has ever been able to ask her To the benefit.
"Tell me," Jia's mother thought about the 50 taels of silver. It was a temporary idea she got for nothing. How could she be unhappy in her heart? She is very close to the emperor, the prince, and the fourth elder brother. Coupled with the mysterious power in her hands, Jiamu will not let go. She must hold the little girl in front of her firmly in her hands. Maybe that way, She didn't need to rely on other people, and she didn't need to take any risks to restore Rongguo Mansion to its former glory, even to an unprecedented height.
"Your Majesty will go home to visit relatives during the Lantern Festival next year," Daiyu said with a smile: "In any case, everything must be properly arranged before the year. After all, I paid 50 taels of silver, and now I look at the mansion built There are already three, and I am very familiar with the people in the Ministry of Industry, and it will only take a month for my sister's mansion to be rebuilt."
"For the mother's sake, nothing can go wrong, so I would like to ask the old lady to hand over the construction of the mansion to the merchant I introduced," Daiyu said with a smile: "The old lady can rest assured, I will The mansion is there, you can also go and see the newly built mansion of His Highness the Crown Prince when you have time, the quality is definitely not a problem."
Xue Baochai became anxious when she heard this. Originally, the garden was given to them. Many materials have already been paid for, and they have already made a lot of money. However, if Lin Daiyu intervenes, plus the group of people from the Ministry of Industry, I'm afraid It's easy to see the water in the middle, if you don't intervene in the later affairs, it may make Xue's family lose a lot of money, not to mention, with Lin Daiyu's method, she may spit out all the money she got.
Mrs. Wang is also unwilling, and she also knows that if this matter is not handed over to the Xue family, then they will not be able to get the 5 taels of silver they promised to her. Besides, compared to Daiyu, she is naturally She believed in her own people even more. However, for the sake of 50 yuan, Mrs. Wang spoke more tactfully, "Girl Lin, now that you are a princess, how can I bother you to worry about such a small matter."
Daiyu looked at Mrs. Wang for a long while without saying a word, and finally fixed her gaze on Mother Jia. Her expression directly showed that she did not take Mrs. Wang seriously, and neither would anyone who can make decisions in Rongguo Mansion. is her.
Mother Jia was not at all embarrassed about this matter. After all, the Xue family was separated from her by one floor. Besides, Baochai's entry into Baye's Mansion was nothing. It's up to you to handle the matter."
Daiyu didn't see the dissatisfied eyes of Baochai and Madam Wang at all, "Old lady, we have already handed over the matter of building the mansion to the Xue family." When she was anxious, she naturally lost her level of speaking, and it also aroused everyone's strange eyes , You must have received a lot of benefits, right?
"Old lady, I think you have misunderstood," Daiyu said with a smile: "I will not interfere in the building of the mansion, but although the Xue family is also very powerful, compared to the one introduced by my family, to be honest It's still a bit short, besides, when the time comes, the people from the Ministry of Industry will come here to help after the elder sister's mansion is completed. As for how much money to pay, you have the final say. For the sake of my wife, I am willing to recommend that person, if you don't want to, then forget it."
"I don't want to," Jia Mu said immediately. She thought that Daiyu's mansion was already the best in the capital. He glared at him, "Where does Miss Lin say, the person you introduced is certainly trustworthy." Maybe she is a businessman with a very good background. After all, she can know Miss Lin. She doesn't believe that in this era of low status of businessmen, there is no background. People get ahead.
"Then old lady, is this settled?" Daiyu said with a smile.
"That's it," Jia Mu nodded, and smiled apologetically at Xue Baochai. The garden is still in the stage of collecting materials, and they have not signed any contract with Xue's family, just because they live in their house. Although the four major families have the Xue family, Jia's mother is already wondering if the Xue family has long since fallen. Otherwise, how could it be possible to live in their house for so many years.
Baochai secretly hated her, but she couldn't help it. She absolutely couldn't lend 50 taels like Lin Daiyu. Lin Daiyu was indeed her natural nemesis. Every time she saw her, Baochai felt that nothing good would happen.
"That's good," Daiyu heard Jia's mother's words, sister, we are going to make a lot of money, looking at Jia She's face on the other side worried that he has no one to take care of him, she said with a smile: "Old lady , I will pay for the 5 taels of the master."
Hearing Daiyu's words, the faces of the three of them brightened, and Mother Jia was also happy, so this girl probably has more taels of silver in her hand.
Jia Zhen looked helplessly at Daiyu's innocent appearance, thinking that she had been deceived by her face, and touched her nose. He was just a theatergoer, but there were some things he needed to confirm in the end, although he had already I started to do it, but it's not a small thing when I get older, he also wants to feel at ease after all.
Jia Mu's eyes swept over everyone one by one, and finally said in the tone of the head of the family: "You also know that the mother in the palace will visit relatives next year, and now the construction of the relatives' garden has begun. Originally, I thought that the money in the mansion would not "
"Old lady, you don't need to tell our eldest house about money," Jia She said, "you can use as much silver as you have in the mansion, but you also know that our eldest house is now being raised by my daughter. Not even a piece of silver."
"She'er," interrupted by Jia She, Mother Jia was naturally displeased, but another person who was even more unhappy interrupted Mother Jia's next words.
"The old man's words are wrong. Although we have not separated now, who doesn't know that the old man's family does not say that he has a salary. You have to be trusted." Such a tone, such a directness, can only come from Mrs. Wang's mouth.
Rao Jia She is thick-skinned and a little embarrassed, of course not to everyone in the Rongguo Mansion, but even with Mrs. Xing, Jia Lian looked a little uncomfortable looking at Daiyu. A lot of silver taels, but Yingchun made her bear all the expenses when she made the promise. Now that she was exposed so directly, she blushed slightly, and was more really annoyed at Mrs. Wang.
Daiyu looked at the three of them amusedly, and caught a glimpse of Mrs. Wang's complacent appearance from the corner of her eyes, so how could she not understand her tricks, "Don't worry about it, my elder sister gave you the prerequisite at the beginning, as long as you don't cause trouble, She is willing to bear all your expenses, and so am I."
"Hehe," Daiyu said, Jia She's family of three immediately became sunny. Thinking about it carefully, there was nothing wrong with me. There is always a way out, isn't it?In comparison, Mrs. Wang's face is dark enough.
"I'm talking about the second child. It seems that your family doesn't care about your family law. After all, I can be regarded as her uncle." Jia Amnesty made the most of his troubles. Maybe he and Jia Lian are enough. Shameless, but their minds are quite normal, and they even turn very fast in one direction. Once Jia Amnesty got angry with Mrs. Wang, he will definitely use it on Jia Zheng. He felt that although his family was not from a rich family, But compared to the stupid woman opposite, it was much better.
Jia Lian lowered his head tacitly. He usually doesn't interrupt if his father is involved. If he is implicated, he will usually point his gun at Baoyu, because the possibility of winning is very high, and he will not be left behind. The last name that disrespected the elders.
Madam Xing usually would not interrupt whenever there were Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian, because she knew that it was best for her not to say anything, and the mouths of the two father and son would not be at a disadvantage under normal circumstances.
Jia Zheng just gave Mrs. Wang a very disgusted look, and then said to Jia Zheng: "Brother, don't mind, it's because I'm not strict with the housekeeping, so I made my brother laugh." I had to apologize, after all, it was my wife's wrong.
"Okay, let's get down to business." Seeing that Jia She was about to speak again, Jia's mother quickly interrupted, "She, whether you like it or not, your surname is now Jia. This is a fact that can't be changed no matter what. Now that you are still living in Rongguo Mansion, do you really have to do something like this?"
"Old lady, what you said is wrong. Why do you have to do it so badly?" Jia She said, "It stands to reason that there is no separation now, and I have a share of the money in the house. I don't even want it now." Now, what else does the old lady think of me? Do you really want me to give the little salary in my hand and the pitiful rent of the two Zhuangzi to the old lady, so that you can build a garden for your mother, old lady, You also have to leave a way out for us Dafang, don’t you? You can’t be so partial and force us so.”
Mother Jia looked at Jia She, who was dressed better than herself, crying poorly in front of her, and felt as uncomfortable as she wanted. White-eyed wolf, it really is like this, no wonder that girl Yingchun refused to recognize her when she gained power. Yes, it's definitely hereditary, "Your Majesty is always your niece. As an uncle, you should do something." Jia Mu quickly calmed herself down, and her tone softened.
Jia Amnesty also didn't want to get into trouble. After all, he had already figured out that Yingchun had to make such a promise by himself. It was very likely that their crime would affect Yingchun. To be honest, he didn't care about his surname, let alone the old lady. It's not her biological mother either. It's just that if Yingchun is affected and his own welfare is affected by moving out, he can't stand it. Now that he is living such a comfortable and carefree life, he really doesn't want to go back to The father and son were always thinking of counting others or selling valuables for money. He thought he would not be able to bear to return to such a tight life. Since the old lady was willing to take a step back, he let it go. "So, how much does the old lady want me to pay?" Jia She asked.
Daiyu looked at Jia She's family of three with a smile on their faces after Jia She's words. It was really funny enough. The father and son are probably very smart, and they turn very fast. Hehe, sister, I am afraid you have never seen such an interesting person. Seeing the expressions of the three of them staring at Jiamu cautiously, it seems that they are afraid that she will say something. The amount they can't accept, but in Daiyu's view, the three iron cocks will feel uncomfortable even if they pay one or two hundred taels of silver. The three mice, Daiyu is afraid that she will lose control and laugh uncontrollably. He quickly picked up the teacup on the coffee table and made a demonstration of drinking tea.
Mrs. Jia was thinking about how much to let this stingy son pay so that he could accept it. Seeing Mrs. Jia hesitate, Mrs. Wang didn't care about Jia Zheng's eyes anymore, as if she was afraid that the old lady would suffer a lot if she didn't , thinking about it, a number blurted out, "20 taels."
"Cough cough," even though Daiyu didn't drink tea, she couldn't help coughing. This Mrs. Wang really dared to say anything, and the snow geese beside her immediately became frightened by her, put down the teacup, and waved her hand to signal that she was fine. , hastily raised her head to see the expressions of the three of Jia Amnesty, she didn't want to miss it at all.
Sure enough, if it was possible, the jaws of the three of them would definitely fall off the ground, and at the same time, they would stare at Mrs. Wang with wide eyes as if they were looking at a lunatic monster. It may be that they were too stimulated and frightened, and the three of them were dumbfounded. , there was no response at all.
Jia Zhen secretly rejoiced that she was not drinking tea. Well, he knew that 20 taels could be taken out by people like them, but it was still a lot of money, but this lady, the lion opened her mouth. Want to see the object.
Although Jia Mu was angry, she still pursed her lips tightly and said nothing. After all, she just wanted to get some silver taels from Lin Yatou when she mentioned this matter today. .
It took a while for Jia Shen to realize that they really had 20 taels, but it was absolutely impossible for them to spend so much. After taking a deep breath, Jia Shen said, "Second brother, you If this woman is sick, please find a doctor to treat her quickly, otherwise, if something goes wrong, the Wang family will definitely cause trouble, and I think if there is an incurable disease, no one will say anything even if she dies." With a serious tone, It's really like a big brother who is worried about his younger brother.
"What do you mean?" Mrs. Wang realized in an instant that Jia She was cursing her, her tone became even worse, and her voice also became sharper, which was extraordinarily harsh in a quiet environment.
"What do you mean?" Jia She looked at Mrs. Wang with a sneer, 20, isn't that killing him? "You are not crazy, you are insane. To build a garden, you need me to pay 20 taels. Leaving aside the public money in the mansion, we know how much it is. If you want to pay 20 yuan, what do you want to do? Build a palace."
"I," Mrs. Wang realized that she had said too much. After all, according to Bao Yatou's estimation, if she could raise another 20 taels, Yuanchun's garden could be built very well, and she didn't need to spend money. You can save a fortune here, so the words just slipped out of her mouth so quickly.
"Okay, why are you arguing?" Mother Jia interrupted Mrs. Wang's displeasure, "You guys are going to be arguing endlessly about every little thing, what does it look like?"
Mrs. Wang didn't speak, but Jia Amnesty said impatiently: "In short, we will never be able to get the 20 yuan from our eldest house." When it came out, it went into Mrs. Wang's pocket. Who didn't know that she and Xue's family were responsible for building the garden. They would only think about how much money there was in it, and they would never think about less.
"Then how much can you pay?" Jia's mother could only follow Jia She's words now, frowning, she just hoped that the amount he said would not be too small.
At least for a short time, there will be no Daiyu's own affairs. Sitting on the side, she feels her stomach cramps from laughing. God knows how hard it is for her to maintain such an elegant and indifferent smile. She is looking forward to Jia She's words out the numbers.
"2000 taels." Jia She did not hesitate but resolutely reduced Mrs. Wang's 20 by a hundred times. It seemed that everyone was a little angry and did not speak, but Jia Lian and Mrs. Xing were very satisfied with this figure.
"2000 taels, sir, you are sending beggars!" A high-pitched voice sounded again, and Madam Wang's appearance of being stimulated was definitely no less than the stimulation she gave Jia Amnesty just now.
"Hehe, second younger brother and sister, you are wrong in saying that." Perhaps it was Mrs. Wang's words that pleased Jia She, and the wretched smile and indecent appearance appeared on his face, "This is according to the old lady's request. , with the kindness of an uncle to the empress in the palace, who has such a mother as you, and even said that her daughter is a beggar, hey, poor empress, I don’t know how sad I am when I hear it.”
"I," Mrs. Wang's uneasy mouth began to tremble after being blocked by Jia She, and she also realized that she had just said something wrong, and insisted forcefully, "I didn't."
"Shut up, don't talk if you can't talk," Jia Zheng didn't want to pay attention to such troublesome things at first, "don't think that I really won't divorce you for the sake of my mother." In fact, Jia Zheng knew in his heart that now He really didn't dare, no matter how much he hated this stupid woman, for Yuan Chun's sake, he had to endure it.
But this time, maybe Jia Zheng's words lost the momentum of the past. Mrs. Wang really didn't believe it, but when Baochai gently pulled her sleeves, she didn't have the posture of arguing just now. Even though he muttered softly, he said in a very disgusted tone: "Well, it's 2000 taels, but thanks to him being able to say it, I really don't feel ashamed."
Jia Amnesty didn't take these words to heart at all, what's wrong with embarrassment, the lack of money will kill him, so he didn't answer, just looked at Jiamu.
"Xie'er, I didn't mean you. You are quite old and you are the head of the family. You paid too little for the 2000 taels." Jia Mu frowned and said, "Yuan Chun is not a bit of a status now." People who don't have it, didn't you slap her in the face like this?"
Well, thinking about giving 2000 taels to a harem lady is too little, Jia Amnesty is acquiescing to Jia's mother's words, "Then how much does the old lady say? We absolutely don't have 20 taels. Even if we are forced to die, we can't buy it." Impossible to get it out."
"Who asked you to pay 20 taels?" Jia Mu looked at Jia She and breathed a sigh of relief. She calculated in her heart that the difference was only 20 taels. Looking at the people present, "5 taels, you are [-] taels." , [-] chains."
Jia She and Jia Lian frowned at the same time, 5 taels is too much, although what they don't lack now is silver taels, but handing over such an important thing in their hands not only hurts them, but there is no place in their bodies. The place is comfortable.
"Don't shake your head yet," Mother Jia said, "Because the second bedroom is the mother's direct relative, so I paid 8 taels." As soon as the words came out, Mrs. Wang quit, not enough to be caught by the imposing eyes of Mother Jia. Press it down, and said: "Don't yell at me, Baoyu is not married yet, but if you really don't, you can borrow some from Xue's family. The most important thing now is to build a garden for your mother. If you don't want to , I will not say anything."
Mrs. Wang didn't say anything when she heard Jia Mu's words, and Baochai stopped her. She quickly realized that the mansion's silver taels were actually enough to build a garden. Raise money for the mansion after the garden is built.
Baochai didn't even say a word, she had already calculated that the Xue family could earn far more than that by building a yard for the empress, besides, didn't the old lady say it?It's a loan. Since this is the case, as a businessman, she will ask for an loan no matter what. If she doesn't understand the behavior of these people in Rongguo Mansion at all, then hasn't Xue Baochai been in vain all these years?
Seeing that the people below were unwilling to pay, but no one objected, Mother Jia felt a little better, and looked at Jia Zhen, "Zhen'er, the glory of the empress belongs to the entire Jia family, you as the patriarch No matter how you say it, you can get 5 taels of silver."
Jia Zhen just smiled and didn't express her opinion. She looked at Daiyu who was still watching the show from the corner of her eyes, and looked at her after feeling her gaze. There was the answer he wanted in those mischievous eyes, "Old man Ma'am, since I am the patriarch of the Jia family, I should think about the big family of the Jia family, and besides, I have already said about the matter of the empress, our Ning mansion is not rich, so naturally we will not give money."
"Zhen'er, why do you say that?" Jia's mother really didn't expect Jia Zhen to object, after all, 5 taels is really nothing to Ningfu, and Jia Zhen didn't want Jia Amnesty to be so stingy, she thought Jia Zhen is the best to speak.
"It's not a matter of silver," Jia Zhen said, "Old lady, after all, I have a family as big as Ning's mansion to support, and besides, we are two mansions, so I don't have a name if I contribute a sum of money. I, Jia Zhen, am the real direct descendant of the Jia family, and my mother, to put it bluntly, is far from my relationship, so I said, we are ashamed to share the glory of this day, precisely because of this, just Not to mention not being able to give out money, if this spreads, it will also have an impact on the empress's reputation."
"Aren't we all from the Jia family?" Mother Jia said with some displeasure.
"But the old lady probably forgot that the elder master and the second master are both adopted, and they are already far away relatives from me, let alone my mother, if I pay 5 taels of silver, where is Ronger? There are other clansmen who are close to me, how can I explain it." Jia Zhen spoke with confidence, he is not Jia She, and he will probably visit the door less in the future. The reason why I came here today is just to get a favor from Daiyu. Yes.
"Zhen'er, what do you mean?" Mrs. Wang was very dissatisfied. She had already calculated in her heart that no matter whether she could pay the 8 taels of silver, if the two of them agreed, the mansion would be worth 10 taels more. The income of ten thousand taels, as soon as Jia's mother said, she already regarded the 10 taels as something in her pocket. How could she not be in a hurry when she heard Jia Zhen say so.
"Second wife," Jia Zhen looked at Mrs. Wang with a smile, "as the patriarch, I should be qualified to send you back to the Wang family to re-learn the three obediences and four virtues, or you don't pay attention to me, the patriarch, or even the entire Jia family. , I should also be qualified to send you out of the Jia family forever, and when I am free, I will definitely tell the head of the Wang family that there may be a very serious problem with their tutoring."
Mrs. Wang was said so by such a self-confessed junior, the color on her face had to be said to be very exciting, blue, red, white, blue and black constantly alternated, a pair of not very big eyes stared at Jia Zhen closely, the eyes seemed to be It's as if she wants to get out of her eye sockets, but no matter how monstrous her psychological anger is, she can only bite her lips tightly. When she meets Jia Zhen's cold eyes, she clearly understands that the person in front of her can really do it. to what he said.
Everyone looked at Jia Zhen in disbelief, although they all knew that Jia Zhen was the patriarch of the family, maybe he had always acted mildly, respected the elders, got along well with the peers, and treated the juniors very well. It's love, approachability, and the time is too long, which made them forget that Jia Zhen also has a temper. Jia She's family was just told by Jia's mother, thinking about the 5 taels of silver, they were aggrieved, and they recovered. Come on, the three of them obviously had gloating expressions on their faces.
Mother Jia, Jia Zheng hates Mrs. Wang, especially what she has done today, even they would like to beat her to death, or just throw her into the Buddhist hall for ten days and half a month and let her die on her own, but After hearing a junior say that about their family members, the two of them felt very complicated. They looked at Jia Zhen with slight dissatisfaction. It's not that Jia Zhen didn't see it, but he just didn't care. Sister Lin has already nodded, so what does that mean?The empress Yuanchun won't last long, and even the Rongguo Mansion will be implicated. At this time, she paid 5 taels of silver, and she is not being taken advantage of. If something happens to the Rongguo Mansion, the Ning Mansion will definitely be implicated. What he has to do now, Just arrange the way out as soon as possible, he feels that the second sister's warning to Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian can also be used as a reference, but Jia Zhen frowned, why would the two younger sisters have such a big enmity with the Rongguo Mansion, and would forgive such a big circle Tossing Rongguo Mansion, he is too aware of the gap between these people from the highest to the lowest, the behavior of these two sisters can be said to be ruthless, the reason?
Jia Zhen looked at Daiyu without any trace, what on earth is it?
The room was very quiet, and everyone was thinking about their own thoughts until, "Is Zhen'er saying this to break the relationship between the two houses?" Jia's mother asked Jia Zhen with some confusion. Smart and prudent, how could he do such a stupid thing? Not to mention that the Rongguo Mansion is now in the limelight, just talk about the relationship between two princesses and a concubine. How many people want to get in touch with their mansion nowadays, but how could Zhen'er Stupid.
"If I don't pay the 5 taels of silver, the old lady will break off the relationship between the two houses, and I have no objection." Jia Zhen knew what she was thinking when she saw Jia Mu's questioning and expression. In fact, he is not smarter than others, if not for the many hints from the two sisters, it would be impossible to persist like this now, "The Ning family has never thought of wanting to be honored by the empress."
"You," Jia Mu saw the persistence in Jia Zhen's eyes. She could do it for the eldest and second child in the family, but, for Jia Zhen, even if he was the patriarch, Jia Mu couldn't do anything. After all, even if he was the Jia family The nominal old matriarch is also the one with the highest seniority, but if he is in the clan, what he says is far less useful than Jia Zhen, the patriarch. The rest of the clan couldn't say anything either.
"Forget it, since you have said so," Mother Jia sighed, with a sad face, "Zhen'er has grown up and has her own ideas." She has not forgotten that her main purpose is to learn from the forest. Get money from the girl, that's the real head start.
Jia Zhen remained silent, and didn't say anything to what Jia's mother said. Anyway, he made up his mind and would never interfere with the affairs of Rongguo Mansion again. "Old lady, are you okay?" Daiyu asked with a worried face.
"It's okay," squeezed out a smile, and saw that the concern in Daiyu's eyes was not fake at all. Jia Zhen's anger just now passed a lot, and Jia's mother also took advantage of Daiyu's concern and continued, "It's just that I've been worrying about my mother's garden these days. Lin girl, grandma really can't do anything this time. I just heard that you still have some money in hand. I wonder if I can borrow some."
Listening to Jiamu's bitter words, Daiyu lowered her head, raised her head after a moment of silence, and said with a smile: "The old lady's words are outrageous, I don't know how much the old lady needs?" And cast a very sharp look in the past.
"Madam Lin, don't you know that our mansion looks beautiful, but actually we don't have much money," Jia Mu said, "There are hundreds of people in the whole mansion, and they rely on the Zhuangzi left by their ancestors to collect rent. Adding in the other little income, it is actually very tight, but even if we are suffering, we don't want to wrong the empress."
That's right, when a dish is made into dozens of processes, it's not so bitter. Look at the silk and satin on your body, each of you is almost catching up with the empress in the palace, and this decoration, although there is no No matter what the taste is, I am afraid that it can be compared with the first-rank officials of the imperial court, or even the relatives of the emperor.
"Old lady, don't say that," Daiyu knew in her heart, but her face was comforting, but she was very measured in her words. Listening to Daiyu, she felt that refugees were crying for poverty. No wonder other people They all lowered their heads, probably not because they were sad, but because they felt very ashamed, "We are all a family, so if the old lady has anything to say, just say it."
"Okay then," Mother Jia looked very embarrassed, but finally said: "Girl Lin, if it's not a last resort, I can't say this. Grandmother wants to borrow a sum of money from you to build a garden for your mother. "
"Well," Daiyu nodded, her expression unchanged, "I know that, old lady, I also asked just now, I don't know how much the old lady wants to borrow?" Why so much nonsense.
"Even if we eat less and drink less, we can't wrong the empress in the palace," Jiamu said in a very firm tone this time: "I have roughly calculated the expenses for going out to the mansion, and everything for the empress when she returns home. The cost, plus the money for the garden, the mansion is still short of 50."
Everyone took a deep breath and looked at Mother Jia. Even with the impact of the second wife's 20 taels just now, they still felt that the old lady had said too much. Turning their heads, looking at Daiyu, they noticed her expression It still didn't change at all, and they all breathed a sigh of relief. Of course, there were also nervousness. The three members of Jia She's family were really afraid that Daiyu would nod and agree without them.
The room was quiet again, Daiyu pursed her lips tightly, looked at Jiamu with clear eyes, and said after a long time, "Since the old lady has spoken, I have absolutely no reason not to agree." After hearing what Daiyu said, Even the joy in Jia Mu's eyes flashed away, and Mrs. Wang almost screamed, even wondering if there was something wrong with her ears just now, Xue Baochai looked at Daiyu suspiciously, When did she talk so easily?There must be some kind of conspiracy, but Jia Zhen sees it somewhat clearly.
"It's just that 50 taels is not a small amount after all, plus it was left to me by my father," Daiyu said with a smile, "So, old lady, I hope that one of you who borrowed it will write me an IOU. Of course, we It is a family, so naturally there is no need to charge any interest, but when to pay it back, you still have to write clearly."
Mother Jia was slightly displeased when she heard what Daiyu said. She had no intention of repaying the so-called borrowing at all. Now that the girl said this, she didn't know how to answer the question. On the other hand, Madam Wang and Wang Xifeng They started to make calculations, and after a while, the three of them thought of going together. No matter what, they should borrow the money first. As for the repayment, the old lady is the only relative of this girl in the world after all. They don't believe it. If there is no one in the mansion, this girl will really sue them to the Yamen, besides, 50 taels, no interest, if it is in their hands, it will be different.
"Madam Lin is right," Mother Jia smiled amiably after she figured it out, "Zheng'er, Your Majesty is your daughter, so you can write this IOU."
"Yes, old lady," Jia Zheng naturally would not object to the old lady's words, and Lin Yatou's words were not wrong. Even if he didn't care about family affairs, he knew that 50 taels was not a small amount. Can last for a while.
In order to prevent things from changing, Mother Jia ordered Yuanyang to prepare pens and ink, and asked Jia Zheng to write about the financial difficulties on the spot, while Daiyu asked Xuezhu to get the bank notes, and brought the people from the Ministry of Punishment here as a way of justice. Officially, everyone was stunned, and Jia Zhen became more clear about what she thought, but he still didn't understand why this sister Lin treated Rongguo Mansion like this. As far as he knew, sister Lin was treated quite well in Rongguo Mansion. Gao, even if he was wronged, it is impossible to generate such a great hatred for it, so that such a large circle will come to rectify the Rongguo Mansion, but Jia Zhen still underestimated the future fate of the Rongguo Mansion.
"Old lady, I have one more request," Daiyu said with a smile. She often doesn't interfere in her sister's business affairs because she doesn't have much interest. However, no one has ever been able to ask her To the benefit.
"Tell me," Jia's mother thought about the 50 taels of silver. It was a temporary idea she got for nothing. How could she be unhappy in her heart? She is very close to the emperor, the prince, and the fourth elder brother. Coupled with the mysterious power in her hands, Jiamu will not let go. She must hold the little girl in front of her firmly in her hands. Maybe that way, She didn't need to rely on other people, and she didn't need to take any risks to restore Rongguo Mansion to its former glory, even to an unprecedented height.
"Your Majesty will go home to visit relatives during the Lantern Festival next year," Daiyu said with a smile: "In any case, everything must be properly arranged before the year. After all, I paid 50 taels of silver, and now I look at the mansion built There are already three, and I am very familiar with the people in the Ministry of Industry, and it will only take a month for my sister's mansion to be rebuilt."
"For the mother's sake, nothing can go wrong, so I would like to ask the old lady to hand over the construction of the mansion to the merchant I introduced," Daiyu said with a smile: "The old lady can rest assured, I will The mansion is there, you can also go and see the newly built mansion of His Highness the Crown Prince when you have time, the quality is definitely not a problem."
Xue Baochai became anxious when she heard this. Originally, the garden was given to them. Many materials have already been paid for, and they have already made a lot of money. However, if Lin Daiyu intervenes, plus the group of people from the Ministry of Industry, I'm afraid It's easy to see the water in the middle, if you don't intervene in the later affairs, it may make Xue's family lose a lot of money, not to mention, with Lin Daiyu's method, she may spit out all the money she got.
Mrs. Wang is also unwilling, and she also knows that if this matter is not handed over to the Xue family, then they will not be able to get the 5 taels of silver they promised to her. Besides, compared to Daiyu, she is naturally She believed in her own people even more. However, for the sake of 50 yuan, Mrs. Wang spoke more tactfully, "Girl Lin, now that you are a princess, how can I bother you to worry about such a small matter."
Daiyu looked at Mrs. Wang for a long while without saying a word, and finally fixed her gaze on Mother Jia. Her expression directly showed that she did not take Mrs. Wang seriously, and neither would anyone who can make decisions in Rongguo Mansion. is her.
Mother Jia was not at all embarrassed about this matter. After all, the Xue family was separated from her by one floor. Besides, Baochai's entry into Baye's Mansion was nothing. It's up to you to handle the matter."
Daiyu didn't see the dissatisfied eyes of Baochai and Madam Wang at all, "Old lady, we have already handed over the matter of building the mansion to the Xue family." When she was anxious, she naturally lost her level of speaking, and it also aroused everyone's strange eyes , You must have received a lot of benefits, right?
"Old lady, I think you have misunderstood," Daiyu said with a smile: "I will not interfere in the building of the mansion, but although the Xue family is also very powerful, compared to the one introduced by my family, to be honest It's still a bit short, besides, when the time comes, the people from the Ministry of Industry will come here to help after the elder sister's mansion is completed. As for how much money to pay, you have the final say. For the sake of my wife, I am willing to recommend that person, if you don't want to, then forget it."
"I don't want to," Jia Mu said immediately. She thought that Daiyu's mansion was already the best in the capital. He glared at him, "Where does Miss Lin say, the person you introduced is certainly trustworthy." Maybe she is a businessman with a very good background. After all, she can know Miss Lin. She doesn't believe that in this era of low status of businessmen, there is no background. People get ahead.
"Then old lady, is this settled?" Daiyu said with a smile.
"That's it," Jia Mu nodded, and smiled apologetically at Xue Baochai. The garden is still in the stage of collecting materials, and they have not signed any contract with Xue's family, just because they live in their house. Although the four major families have the Xue family, Jia's mother is already wondering if the Xue family has long since fallen. Otherwise, how could it be possible to live in their house for so many years.
Baochai secretly hated her, but she couldn't help it. She absolutely couldn't lend 50 taels like Lin Daiyu. Lin Daiyu was indeed her natural nemesis. Every time she saw her, Baochai felt that nothing good would happen.
