Mrs. Xing of the Red Chamber

If he agreed to take over now, wouldn't he be slapping his father in the face.Therefore, Jia Lian still refused and said:

"Second Aunt, it's not that Lian'er doesn't want to help you, but you also saw that my father lost his temper this morning. If I take over the task of building the provincial hospital now, I'm still afraid that my father will kill me for it." As for me, you should find someone else!"

Mrs. Wang said in obvious disbelief:

"In order for the mansion to be able to repair the relatives' hospital smoothly, if your father beats you for this matter, you can tell me and your ancestors, what are you afraid of with your ancestors?

You're doing business, and you're not daring to do anything else. The old man can easily throw his hands away, and you're not allowed to clean up the mess for him? "

Seeing Jia Lian's hesitant expression, she was obviously a little moved, Madam Wang continued:

"Besides, everyone in the Jia family is watching for the sake of your concubine. If you can do this well, are you afraid that others will not recognize your ability and say that you are a very capable person?"

If it were anything else, Jia Lian might not have been so excited, but when it comes to this, people outside often say that he is afraid of his wife, and he is very afraid of his wife - a soft-footed shrimp or something.

If by presiding over the construction of the Provincial Family Hospital, everyone can recognize their abilities, and see if there are still people who secretly say that they are a coward or something!

"This... Lian'er knows that her abilities are limited, Second Aunt, you'd better hire someone else wiser!" Although Jia Lian was tempted, thinking of the lessons learned from going to Jiangnan, she still refused rationally.

Mrs. Wang was already running out of patience, but when Jia Lian refused again and again, she immediately became a little annoyed. If it weren't for the fact that other people in the house couldn't do anything, would she need to coax him here?

He held back his anger, but said with a little impatience on his face:

"Lian'er, don't forget that if you hadn't handled the affairs of the Lin family well before, I would have accidentally annoyed your father this morning, and now I don't know the money for the construction of the provincial hospital because you are not doing well. Where is it?

You don't want to make up for your mistakes, but you don't even want to do some serious work in the house. Should we go to the ancestors and talk about it, and see who the ancestors support?

In a word, you just say that you are willing to help the second aunt this favor, and give the next job of supervising the construction of the provincial hospital? "

When Mrs. Wang said this, Jia Lian immediately lost his momentum, saying that it was indeed his fault that he couldn't bring back the Lin family's property, so he said weakly:

"That can't all be said to be my fault, who knows that Uncle Lin is actually smart at this time, when he sent Cousin Lin into our house and gave us money, he was not so shrewd and difficult to fool! "

Jia Lian looked at the second wife who was sitting there with a straight face, and had no choice but to say:

"But this is somewhat due to my lack of care. Well, I will take the risk of offending my father and leave the task of building the provincial house to the next one! But isn't it enough for us to build the provincial house? ?”

Mrs. Wang said angrily:

"Then I'll send you the materials and account books for building the other courtyard later, and as for the money, it's not all because of you!

That's enough, I will continue to think of a solution for the money matter. Your future task is to keep an eye on the construction of the other courtyard for me, so nothing can go wrong! "

Jia Lian touched his chin with his hand a little depressed, and said:

"Second Aunt, don't worry, I will definitely try my best to get things done this time. If you are still not at ease, you can ask someone to come over and take a look for you at any time. I guarantee that there will be no big troubles!"

Mrs. Wang felt relieved for the time being, and she should have someone to help her to look after her. This time, it is a big matter of the concubine's family, but you can't make any mistakes!

Seeing that Mrs. Wang had nothing to say, Jia Lian said goodbye, "If there is nothing else, my nephew will go back first."

Mrs. Wang nodded, indicating that he could go back.

When Jia Lian went back, he thought about whether he should go to his father and tell him, lest his father would be even more angry if he got the news from other people!

When Jia Lian came to the courtyard of the big house, Jia She, and was notified, the servants in Jia She's room said that Jia She had gone to Mrs. Xing.

Even if you don't want to go to Mrs. Xing's place anymore, there is no way. If you wait until the news spreads tomorrow, and then tell your father, you won't be able to please him!

At this time, Jia Amnesty and Li Mo had finished their dinner, and Heng An and Jia Zong also returned to their rooms to finish the homework assigned by Master Xie today.

Jia Amnesty took a nap at Li Mo's place. After resting, he had dinner with Li Mo and his two sons, and immediately felt comfortable.

In fact, Jia She likes the clean and peaceful atmosphere here in Li Mo. There is no deliberate flattery from concubines and servants, and no mother's partiality for the second brother. They get along naturally. This is the feeling of family in Jia She's mind!

Jia Amnesty and Li Mo were chatting about the daily affairs of their two sons and the new things that happened in the capital recently.

Xiao Yin came in and reported to Jia She and Li Mo:

"Reporting to Mrs. Lian, the second master Lian has come over and said that he has something to ask for the master! What do you think?"

Li Mo looked at Jia Amnesty for his opinion.

At this point, what can Lian'er do for her?

Jia Amnesty said, "Let Lian'er in!"

Xiaoyin lifts the bead curtain for Jia Lian and invites him into the main room!

Jia Lian greeted Jia Amnesty and Li Mo, "My son greets the master and wife!"

Jia Amnesty asked, "It's so late, what are you doing here?"

Jia Lian glanced at Li Mo who was sitting on the side, and said hesitantly, "This..."

Wouldn't Li Mo understand that Jia Lian meant to let him avoid it?

But in Li Mo's own territory, Li Mo is too lazy to avoid it, if he doesn't want to let himself listen to you, just go out and talk!

Jia She said directly: "Don't hesitate, just say what you want!"

Jia Lian could only endure the uneasiness in his heart, and said:

"It's like this, the second wife invited me to her place just now, and talked about the construction of the provincial hospital, which means that I will take over the construction of the other courtyard in the future.

Regarding this matter, I don't know what the master means?If you think it's inappropriate, I'll reject the Second Wife's suggestion! "

In the morning, Jia Amnesty got angry and shied away from the matter of the provincial hospital, and he expected that Mrs. Wang would let Jia Lian take care of the construction of the provincial hospital.

The few men in the mansion, besides myself, are Jia Zheng and Lian'er. As for the 12-year-old Jia Baoyu, what else can he do besides eating, drinking and having fun?

And Jia Zheng knew nothing about common affairs, so he couldn't count on him at all!Apart from Jia Lian, there is no other candidate at all, unless Erfang is willing to ask someone from the outer palace to help!

Jia She asked: "You have already agreed, right?"

Jia Lian said in embarrassment: "I was forced to do nothing by the second wife! If you don't agree, my son will go and refuse the second wife!"

Jia Amnesty said indifferently: "Since you have already agreed, then it's up to you!"

Seeing that Jia Amnesty didn't look too angry, Jia Lian finally felt relieved.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, so he didn't plan to stay here any longer, and said goodbye: "Then my son won't disturb you and your wife's rest, so I'll take my leave first!"

"Well, you go back!" Jia She nodded and said.

After Jia Lian went out, Li Mo said:

"Is it really all right for the second wife to let Lian'er take over the work ahead of you?"

Jia She said with a smile:

"It doesn't matter. Even if there is no matter this morning, I will leave the matter to Lian'er when he comes back. There is no big difference."

Well, Li Mo wasn't really worried about anything, and said, "This way I can rest assured."

On the second day, Jia Lian took over the construction of the provincial hospital. Although some people saw that Jia Lian took over the job that Jia Amnesty left behind and said he would not take care of it, some people said something suspicious.

But because Jia Lian had already told Jia Amnesty yesterday, there was no disturbance. With Jia Amnesty's cooperation, Jia Lian took over the job smoothly.

In the past few days, Mrs. Wang has tried to let the big house—mainly because Jia She raised a share of the money, but Jia She refused all of them, that is to say, she moved Jia Mu and asked Jia Mu to send someone to persuade Jia She It's useless!

The silver is in Jia She's hands, and it belongs to him. If Jia She is not willing to hand over the silver, Mrs. Wang knows that she has nothing to do with him.Helpless, Mrs. Wang had no choice but to give up her plan to dig out another sum of money from Jia She.

Instead, he began to think of other ways to see if he could get the money together as soon as possible.

He thought of the Xue family who was closest to him and had the most money, and thought of his younger sister and her daughter who tried every means to gain a good reputation in the mansion, not to increase the possibility of Baochai marrying Baoyu!
