Winning every step of the Red Mansion

This day, Shi Feier was sitting in the room, and within 2 minutes of being quiet, Jia Mao ran in crying, and Shi Feier said, "What's the matter? How come people are crying like a little cat in a blink of an eye, come on!" Come here and let me have a look." Jia Mao ran up to Jia Mu and tied her head tightly in Jia Mu's arms, saying, "Great-grandmother, I fell down, and my brothers still laugh at me."

Jia Mao is the youngest of these great-grandchildren, so he can't blame everyone for loving him more.Jia Hui and Jia Peng who followed ran in together laughed and saw Jia Mao huddled in Jia's mother's arms, and said with a smile: "I told you that there is a lot of moss in the garden, so run slowly. If you don't listen, you will fall." Instead, I will come to my great-grandmother to act like a baby."

Jia Mao curled his lips and said, "Great-grandmother, you see that what I said is right, they laughed at me when they saw me fall."

"Okay, okay, I get it." Shi Feier patted Jia Mao's head, and asked the maid to fetch a basin of hot water, "Go and wash your face, and wash the face of this little cat, so that it doesn't After a while, your mother should laugh at you when she sees it." Jia Mao washed his face obediently, and ran over with joy, Shi Feier patted his little head and said: "That's the best, just fall asleep. It's not uncommon for people to smile when they see it, so don't worry about it." Then he called Jia Hui and Jia Peng to come over and sit with him: "You shouldn't laugh at him either. When no one stumbles, if it's you who falls It's fine if others don't help, and I'm still joking around, so I wouldn't be happy to change anyone else." Seeing Jia Hui and Jia Peng nodded, Shi Fei'er smiled and said: "We are born as human beings, but we are different from things. Compassion and empathy. When things happen, put yourself in other people’s shoes, and think about others, and your heart will be more open.” The three little guys nodded with a half-comprehension.

Shi Feier also smiled and didn't talk about it further.He just smiled and asked what they were playing just now, and how Jia Mao fell.The three little guys naturally learned all the things just now. It turned out that the three little guys were playing in the garden. After running, they came to a secluded place in the garden, where there were few people coming and going. Jia Mao saw Huan, a thrush called Huan, didn't know which yard ran out. Jia Mao wanted to jump, but accidentally slipped, fell to the ground, and rolled twice.What Jia Mao said was vivid, and with Jia Hui and Jia Peng adding to it, it was true.

Shi Fei'er also found it interesting, and naturally joked with the three little guys again.After the three little devils left, Shi Fei'er found peace, sat in a daze for a while, and then a thought came to her mind, so she took the two servant girls and went for a walk around the garden.

The garden of Jia's mansion is not small after all. It is said in the book that it was specially built by Qin Rongguo's mansion in Yuanchun province.Now Yuan Chunzao is not the virtuous concubine in the book but Princess Qi, and there will be no visiting relatives, so the back garden of Rongguo Mansion is still the same.Nature is still big, but it is very different from the Grand View Garden, the daughters' paradise described in the book.There is no such yard.So nowadays, the places where people often go are well cleaned up, but the places where people don't go often are full of weeds, so it is normal for Jia Mao to wrestle today.

Shi Feier took the maid for a walk, and when she came back, she thought over and over in her heart. She had earned a lot of money here, and after a little calculation, after deducting what was left for her grandchildren, there was still a lot left. This is too much money. It might cause some troubles if I stay in the mansion to be watched by others sooner or later, but if it is spent indiscriminately, it would be wasteful, and now that Shi Feier has withdrawn from making a living, naturally she doesn't want to use the money to run a business again. What kind of business, Shi Fei'er thought about it, why not repair the garden well, take a look at the scenery by yourself, and treat it as spending a sum of money to buy yourself happiness.

Shi Feier thought about it for a while and felt that his idea was good, so he asked someone to call Jia Amnesty to discuss it.Jia She thought about it for a while and said: "The old lady wants to renovate the garden. I think it's not bad, but after all, renovating is not a small matter, and it is better to have a long-term plan. Besides, the repair and layout of this garden requires a skilled craftsman to make a good layout. Only in this way can it not be ruined.”

After hearing this, Shi Fei'er felt that what Jia She said was reasonable, so she asked Jia She to send someone to have a look first, draw up a plan and calculate the cost before discussing it.Jia Amnesty had also been idle for quite a while, and hearing what the old lady said, he wanted to be filial, so he took care of everything and wanted to renovate the garden.The Jia Mansion released the news that they were looking for skilled craftsmen to repair the garden. Naturally, there were many. After all, it is well known that the Jia Mansion is rich and powerful. Now it is said that it is going to repair the garden. Many people in the family entrusted them with an errand so that they could earn some money to spend.

When Jia Lian returned home, he frowned when he saw Wang Xifeng and said, "I went home today and was stopped on the street. I wondered what was important, and only then did I know that the mansion was going to build a garden. Is it? Whose idea is this?"

Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "A few days ago Mao'er was playing in the garden and fell down. The old lady went around the garden and saw that the garden felt dilapidated, so she came up with this idea. Now she just wants to find some craftsmen Let’s plan and arrange it first and make a sample, and then we can talk about whether it will be repaired or not.”

After hearing this, Jia Lian frowned slightly, "I guess it won't be like the rumors on the street."

Wang Xifeng was taken aback: "It was reported on the street? The master just asked the steward to find some craftsmen to discuss it. How could everyone in the street know about it?"

Jia Lian smiled bitterly and said: "You don't know the world. Some people probably can smell money, and they all come here when they smell money. Where's the pen?"

Wang Xifeng shook her head when she heard that, and Jia Lian continued, "If it's just a repair or two, I don't think there's anything wrong with it, but if it's going to be repaired with a big fanfare, this is really not the time."

"But worry about the money?" Wang Xifeng waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about it. Let alone repairing this garden, even if you build ten gardens, it will cost more than the old lady. Spend some silver to buy the old lady and enjoy yourself , so it’s not a bad thing.”

"It's fine if you think so, but people outside don't think so. Now people in the clan come to me to intercede, hoping to get an errand. After a few days, I don't know what it will be like." Jia Lian suddenly After a pause, he continued: "Didn't I tell you about the shortage of military pay outside the Great Wall a few days ago? In the past, I have raised all the bonuses from the business that I helped the Holy One manage, and planned to use it for military pay."

Wang Xifeng hesitated and said, "Could it be that the household department can't transfer the money?"

"There is a big difference between the money in the account and the money in cash," Jia Lian said with a smile, "The Holy One is already angry about this matter, but this matter involves a lot, and even some princes are involved. There are not many people in the village who are still alive. I am afraid that the higher-ups are short of money now. Now that the government is doing this, if people hold the handle, it would be a small thing to be a fattened pig and scrape some oil. Swallowed up the whole house."

"That's not the case. The money in our family comes clean."

"If you really need money, I still care about whether you do it cleanly or not. Take it first and use it later. It's just a matter of several orders." Jia Lian shook his head, "The old lady is always cautious, why is she still confused now? I'm going to talk to the old lady about it."

"It's late, the old lady is probably asleep, or else, go again tomorrow morning." Wang Xifeng stopped her.

"Wait until tomorrow, you don't know what will happen, and you don't understand the old lady's nature. If she insists on doing it, you can't change her determination no matter how you talk about it. While this matter is still undecided, I'll try to persuade you to make peace first, maybe there is still room for change, and if you really can't persuade, it's not such a practice."

Naturally, Wang Xifeng couldn't stop him, so he had to let Jia Lian go to find Jia's mother.Shi Fei'er was not asleep at this time, and at this moment, she was holding a pattern and studying it carefully.Thinking about the difference between the Grand View Garden in the book and the drawing.It was a little strange to hear the maid said that the second master Lian was here. If Jia Lian came at this time, there must be something wrong.So he asked the maid to bring Jia Lian into the house.

Without waiting for Jia Lian to greet her, Shi Feier said, "I'm sure it's not to greet you at such a late hour. If you have something to say, just speak up."

"I heard the old lady said that she wants to repair the garden."

Shi Feier took a closer look at the picture and nodded: "I thought you were busy these days, so I didn't mention it to you. But you believe it quickly."

"It's not that the grandson's letter is fast, but now the younger generations in the clan know the letter, and there are not a few people who ask for it, and they all want to take an errand to do it."

"Now I'm smart enough to learn." Shi Fei'er smiled, handed the blueprint to Jia Lian and said, "Come and help me see how this design is?"

Jia Lian took the drawing and held it in his hand to look at it carefully, thinking about what to say to make the old lady stop as soon as possible.Jia Lian held the blueprint and glanced at it briefly, then hurriedly said: "Old lady, if you build it like this, I'm afraid it will be overstepped." Jia Lian was even more anxious.

"Exceeding the system? Where did it come from?" Shi Feier asked with a smile.

Jia Lian pointed at a few places on the blueprint, Shi Feier looked at it and smiled and said, "It's just a plaything, so it's not about the system."

Jia Lian said anxiously: "Old lady, there are clansmen on the street who know that we are going to repair the garden. If it is true, it is a crime of overstepping the rules. As a grandson, I also want to make the garden better, so that the old lady can look at it comfortably. .Even Xiu can’t do it so grandly, it’s too easy to attract criticism.”

When Shi Feier heard Jia Lian's words, she immediately understood a few or eight points in her heart, and said with a smile, "If I don't listen and insist on doing this, what about you?"

Jia Lian made a bitter face. After all, it was inconvenient for him to tell about the lack of money in the household department, the lack of military pay, and the fact that the Holy Majesty was thinking about where to find some money to make up for the loopholes. He could only kneel down and said: "If the old lady insists on doing this, grandson will kneel down." Sorry, wait until the old lady changes her mind."
