The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Shuzi

Chapter 140 Completion of the Family Hospital
However, Jia Lian and Jia Jing helped Jia Amnesty's coffin to return to its ancestral home in Jinling after it had been suspended for a hundred days in Tiekan Temple.

After arriving in Jinling, the two brothers buried Jia Amnesty in the ancestral grave according to the ceremony of the Duke.

And because Jia Jing, as a general, had no hope of worrying about Ding, and would return to Beijing to return to his post after everything was settled, so Jia Lian had to be left alone in Jinling to watch his filial piety.

Fortunately, this time is different from the previous dynasty, and there is no need to live in a hut in the ancestral tomb, but it saves Jia Lian from a lot of suffering.

………………

On this day, Jia Jing returned home on his own.

A servant from the Rongguo Mansion came to report, "Because the provincial house has been completely completed, the second master ordered the villain to invite Hou Ye to go and inspect it!"

"It's finally complete!"

Jia Jing couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Suddenly he thought again, it has been more than three months since his cheap father passed away, both Lin Daiyu and the newcomer Xue Baochai have been at home for a long time.

Now, if you don't take advantage of the current opportunity, take the two of you out to relax and take a breath of fresh air, that would be good too!
Therefore, Jia Jing nodded and told the boy: "You go back to the second master first, just say that I will be there later!"

The boy took orders and left immediately.

Jia Jing then ordered the maids to call Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai, and said that she would take them to the newly built Provincial Family Hospital to relax.

When Daiyu and Baochai heard the words, they were naturally happy in their hearts.

……

When the three of them took their maidservants to the Provincial Courtyard, they found that Jia Zheng had already been waiting at the door with a group of cleanups.

After a while, Jia Zhen and Jia Rong from Ningguo Mansion also arrived.

Seeing that all the people had arrived, Jia Zheng said, "Now that the provincial court has been completed, we just wait for us to come and check it out. If there is anything wrong with it, please point it out, so that the craftsman can make it in time." Remodel again."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and then followed Jia Zheng to the gate of the other courtyard.

When they came to the gate of the other courtyard, everyone stopped at the center line. Jia Zheng and others began to carefully observe the gate of the other courtyard.

The gate often represents the face of a building or a family, and of course it is the most important thing.

Several people looked around, and saw that there were as many as five rooms at the main entrance of the Provincial Courtyard. The roof tiles were covered with loach ridges, and the doors, bars, windows, and bars were also finely carved with modern patterns, without any vermilion powder coating.

Looking down, it is the same color of water milled walls, and the white stone steps below are chiseled into the shape of passionflower.

If you look left and right, you can see the unpredictable texture of tiger skin stones under the snow-white powder wall.

From the perspective of the entire front gate, it does not fall into the usual ornate style.

Everyone who couldn't help but look was full of joy.

…………

Later, Jia Zheng ordered someone to open the gate of the other courtyard, and everyone filed in.

As soon as Jia Jing and the others entered, they saw a green mountain standing in front of them.

Everyone looked forward and saw that the mountain peak was surrounded by white stones, or it looked like a ghost, or a beast, standing vertically and horizontally.Mottled with moss, or shaded by vines, which reveal a small trail.

All the Qing guests said: "Good mountain, good mountain! It's not this mountain. Once you come in, you can see all the scenery in the other courtyard. What's more interesting?"

Jia Zheng also nodded, and said with a smile: "That's true! Why don't we just go in through the small path here, and then go out through the exit of Ningguo Mansion, so that we can see the entire province. Probably in the hospital."

When all the guests heard the words, they all nodded their heads expectantly.

……

At this time, Jia Jing smiled and said goodbye to Jia Zheng: "I originally wanted to take a look at the whole courtyard with the second master, but it was a bit inconvenient, so we decided to go to another place first." Just wander around in the courtyard and have a look!"

Looking at Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai who were following Jia Jing far away, Jia Zheng knew it was because he wanted to show off, but he hastily brought a group of cleanup guests here, which really made Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai embarrassed.

Therefore, after hearing Jia Jing's words, Jia Zhengdang nodded quickly and said, "I didn't think carefully this time, so let's just go and have a look around at home!"

Jia Jing, Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai both smiled and nodded.

Afterwards, Jia Jing led Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai and four servant girls Hu Po, Xue Yan, Zi Juan and Ying Er, and turned to another small road.

Several people walked while watching, but suddenly saw a green hill slanting in front of them.

Turning around in the middle of the mountain, a yellow mud wall is faintly exposed, and the walls are covered with rice stalks.

There are more than ten wintersweet plants waiting to be released leisurely.

There are several thatched huts inside, but outside are mulberry elm and hibiscus, all kinds of young trees are newly planted, and outside are two newly made green fences.

Under the hillside outside the fence, there is an earthen well, beside which there is a genus of orange potter's wheel.

There are plots of acres below, but a small field of acres has been set aside.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Jia Jing couldn't help laughing and said: "If you live here, you don't need to raise other birds, only geese, ducks, chickens and so on are suitable.

But I don't know why such a house was built in the provincial hospital. Could it be that the concubine Xian was asked to raise geese and feed chickens? ! "

Knowing that Jia Jing was intentionally making the two of them happy, Daiyu and Baochai still couldn't help laughing when they thought of the scene where the empress was farming and raising geese in person.

After laughing for a while, Lin Daiyu looked at the rural farmhouse in front of her, feeling fascinated for a while.

Can't help sighing: "It's only now that I know that the farmhouse also has such a beautiful scene!"

But Jia Jing laughed and said, "This place was built by people like us, so how can it be a real pastoral farmhouse? It's just that it's beautiful and moving, and it's just helpless!"

Xue Baochai also nodded and confirmed: "That's the case. Farmers go to the ground at sunrise and return at sunset all day long for the few stones of grain in the field every year. How can it be so beautiful?"

…………

Different from Jia Jing's reckless play, Jia Zheng wanted to check and accept this other hospital this time. Naturally, he wanted the other hospital to take a rough look first.

Therefore, Jia Zheng brought many Qing guests along the way, or clear halls, or huts, or pile stones as walls, or weave flowers as doors, or long corridors and curved holes, or square mansions and round pavilions, etc. to build houses. Abandon.

Jia Zheng and the others didn't have time to take a closer look, they just glanced over hastily, and then turned to the next place.

And because they didn't rest for half a day, everyone couldn't help but their legs were sore and weak.

Jia Zheng saw the sun sinking to the west and was tired all over, so he said, "It's getting late today, so let's see here."

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly nodded in agreement, and then hurriedly dispersed.

It's just that when Jia Zhengfang was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something and asked Jia Zhen, "In these courtyard houses, there are several desks and chairs, and those curtains, curtains, toys and antiques are all the same. Is it a good match?"

Jia Zhen replied: "A lot of things have been added to the display, so it will be properly displayed when the time comes. Half of the curtains and curtains have been added, but they are not complete."

After hearing this, Jia Zheng asked him, "How many cases are there in total? How many cases have you got now? How many cases are still owed?"

Seeing the question, Jia Zhen quickly took out a book of folded paper from the sleeve of her boots, looked at it, and replied:

"In the other courtyard, there are 120 curtains of various sizes in silk and silk, and there are still [-] curtains left;

Outside, there are [-] orangutan felt curtains, [-] Xiangfei bamboo curtains, [-] red lacquered bamboo curtains with golden silk rattan, [-] black lacquered bamboo curtains, and [-] multicolored thread coiled flower curtains, half of each;
In addition, there are some chairs, table skirts, bed skirts, and bed covers, all of which are [-] pieces each. "

Hearing this, Jia Zheng nodded and said, "Now that the construction of the other courtyard is completed, the concubine Xian will return home soon, so those who have not been completed must be paid close attention! Don't slack off!"

Jia Zhenjia Rong hurriedly bowed and answered "Yes"!
