Mrs. Xing of the Red Chamber

If a complete big courtyard is built first, then this area must be included, otherwise the whole courtyard will be ruined.

And even if the vacant land in Ningguo Mansion is included, it still seems too small to build a larger courtyard.

Even though they knew that Jia's mansion was built on the open land, they just knocked down a row of houses behind the mansion, and extended to Ningguo mansion to occupy half of the garden behind Ningguo mansion.

But Li Mo still raised the question a little bit, at least he could show that he also had serious consideration for the government.

Li Mo said: "The open space is not small, but if you want to build a provincial hospital, it still seems too small!"

Indeed, the place is still not big enough, Wang Xifeng suggested:

"Then why don't you build the Provincial Courtyard on the outskirts of Zhuangzi! There is enough space there to build the other courtyard, what do you think?"

Uh, a few people thought about it, if the family home was built in the suburbs, the place would be big enough, but it would be too remote!

It's not very convenient to go back and forth in the mansion. If possible, it's better not to go to the suburbs. It's better to see if you can find a place nearby!

Mother Jia looked at the others and asked, "Think about it, can you find a larger place not far from our mansion so that we can build a provincial hospital?"

Everyone thought about the surrounding environment carefully, to see if they could find a suitable place from their impressions, so that they could buy it and build a yard.

However, Jia's Mansion is located in the northwest direction of the city, and the surrounding areas have been occupied by various families since the founding of the country, and their houses have been built.

After several generations of continuous reproduction and family separation, the houses of each family are already very compact, so there may be a large open space!

Even if there is any other company that currently has such a piece of land, they have already planned the use of it, and they are not stupid if they are not willing to sell the land that cannot be bought now for some money.

Moreover, they may not be afraid of the Jia family at all. Even if the Jia family has a concubine, they will not be able to offend them. If you want to bully others, how can you still get their land!

Several people looked at each other in dismay, and found that there was no suitable place, so they could only choose two places, the backyard of the mansion and the Zhuangzi in the suburbs.

Mrs. Wang really doesn't want to build the family home on the outskirts of the Zhuangzi. When the time comes, won't the mother-in-law go to the suburbs?

Those people only remember the Zhuangzi in the suburbs, how can they remember Jia's mansion, how can they feel proud among their relatives!

Thinking about the open space in the backyard, if some of the servants' houses were demolished, and then Ningguo Mansion was allowed to vacate a part of them as a garden, the space would be big enough.

Mrs. Wang said: "Old lady, I don't know if this is suitable?"

Several people heard that Mrs. Wang had actually thought of a way, and they were all interested in waiting for her to continue talking.

Jia's mother asked: "Oh, the second child's family, did you think of a solution? Let us all refer to it!"

Mrs. Wang directly expressed her thoughts:

"If the Blind House is built on the outskirts of Zhuangzi, it is really inconvenient for us to go there, and there must be regulations on the time for the mother-in-law.

The distance from the palace to the outskirts is not that close, and we may not be able to speak a few words with the empress at that time, and the time will be up, isn't this going to spoil the empress's interest again?

Moreover, the empress grew up in the mansion since she was a child, so she is naturally familiar with the mansion. Only by building the Provincial Family Hospital in the mansion can it give her the feeling of her mother's family!

Besides, if the other courtyard is built in the outskirts, it will be left idle after the mother visits her relatives, what a waste!

It's better to build the provincial house in the open space behind the mansion! "

Jia Zheng heard Mrs. Wang say a lot of things, but he didn't get to the point, so he said impatiently:

"Don't talk about so many other things, it's a waste of time, hurry up and tell me your solution!"

"Didn't I first let you hear my thoughts on choosing to build another courtyard in the mansion first!

Think about it, in addition to the open space in our backyard, isn't there a row of servants' houses next to the open space?

If we demolish that row of houses and let those servants move to other places, wouldn't it be a big space?

It can also make the open space in the backyard directly connected with the big garden in the mansion, making the place appear even bigger. "

Speaking of this, Mrs. Wang glanced at Jia Zhen hesitantly, and said:

"We have such a large space to build another courtyard, but in order to look better, we may have to make room for us from the Ningguo Mansion next door.

I don't know Brother Zhen, would you like to spare some space in your back garden for us? "

Everyone followed Mrs. Wang's words and thought, indeed, this way there is enough space to build another courtyard!

Hearing Mrs. Wang ask Jia Zhen like this, I wonder if Jia Zhen is willing to give up some space?

After hearing Mrs. Wang's words, Jia Zhen was still thinking about whether she should free up some space to build a courtyard for the Rongguo Mansion, and whether it would have any impact on her mansion.

Seeing that Jia Zhen was still thinking about it, Mother Jia said directly:

"Zhen'er, the matter of your mother visiting relatives is not just a matter for our Rongguo family.

This is a major event of great significance to our entire Jia clan. As the patriarch of the Jia clan, you wouldn't even agree to such a trivial matter, would you? "

Jia Zhen thought for a while and just gave up a little space. The Ningguo Mansion is so big, so little space has no effect.

Besides, I am also the direct branch of the Jia family, for the sake of the family's honor, I have to set an example!

Jia Zhen said: "Indeed, in order for our family to have a better development in the future, on behalf of Ningguo Mansion, I promise to vacate some space so that you can build provincial homes!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that Jia Zhen agreed. Finally, there is a place to build a provincial hospital.

Jia's mother praised and said: "Zhen'er is worthy of being the patriarch of our Jia clan, but she is courageous and can be an example for our clan!

Then you should arrange people to count the days as soon as possible, and determine the day to start work! "

Such a major matter, of course, is not under the control of Li Mo and other housewives, so it can only be decided by Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen.

Jia Amnesty didn't want to take care of this difficult and troublesome job, so someone else should take care of it.

Looking directly at Jia Zhen and Jia Zheng and the two of them, Jia's mother has nothing to do with Jia Amnesty who is going to be the shopkeeper.

We can only turn our attention to Jia Zhen and Jia Zheng, and let them discuss a charter.

As the mother's father, Jia Zheng couldn't shirk it. As the patriarch, Jia Zhen had to help see how to build it better!

At this time, Jia Lian, who usually helps with trivial matters, is missing. Several people feel that these things are really troublesome, but they have to come out to deal with them.

Jia Zheng thought about it and said to Jia Zhen:

"Now in the backyard of the mansion, you can go to someone to count the days, and then directly demolish the house.

But in order to build a perfect family home, one had to find someone to come and design a blueprint based on the topography of the open space.

After confirming the drawings, you can start to prepare for the purchase of materials, stones, flowers and trees. Do you have any good candidates to recommend? "

Although Jia Amnesty planned to leave it alone, it would be fine if he just recommended a candidate. Just like Jia Zhen, he thought about the people he knew—who is or knows someone who is good at designing other courtyards.

Wang Xifeng on the one side saw that none of the people could think of a suitable person, thinking that he seemed to have heard Jia Lian mention that he knew someone with this ability.

So Wang Xifeng said:

"I heard Er Ye mention it before. He seems to know a person who is very good at designing houses and courtyards. It seems to be Guiguzi. I heard that he is very good."

When Jia Zhen heard Wang Xifeng mention this name, she also thought of such a person and said:

"I've heard people say that Guiguzi is a man, many officials and rich people come to him to design their own courtyard houses and so on.

I didn't expect Lian'er to know such a person! "

Jia Zheng and the others heard that even Jia Zhen said that, which shows that this person must be very good at this aspect.

Thinking that since Jia Lian knew this person, why not ask Jia Lian to come forward and invite this person to design a family home for the mansion.

Jia Zheng directly said to Wang Xifeng: "Since Lian'er knows such a person, when you send someone to deliver a letter to Lian'er tomorrow, tell him too.

Let him write a letter to Guiguzi, let Rongguo Mansion come forward, and ask him to come and help us design this relatives' hospital! "

Wang Xifeng replied: "Okay, I will write this matter together when I write the letter."

After several people have discussed and decided, the rest of the matter can be done slowly, there is no need to rush.

Yuanyang saw that the masters and sons had almost discussed, so they came in and said to Jia Mu: "Old Ancestor, the dinner is ready, do you want to start dinner at this time?"

After talking for so long, they drank a full stomach of tea. At this time, everyone felt quite hungry!

Jia Mu said directly: "You let them send the food to the dining room!"

Seeing that Yuanyang turned around and went out to make arrangements, Mother Jia smiled and said to Jia Zhen: "Today is Zheng'er's birthday, and Zhen'er should give Zheng'er a good drink later to celebrate!"

Jia Zhen said with a smile:

"Of course, today is not only Brother Zheng's birthday, but also Empress is concubine today, what a great joy!

Later, the three of us brothers must have a good meal and celebrate! "
