The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Chapter 219 Overwhelming Peach Blossoms

Zijuan knew that she could not communicate with Jia Lian, so she brought the medicine bowl again and went out.

Seeing that there were only her and Jia Lian in the room, Daiyu felt inexplicably cramped. Seeing that Jia Lian was only drinking tea while looking at her room, Daiyu thought for a while, got up, picked up the teapot, and poured tea for Jia Lian. After drinking the tea, he pretended to be casual and asked:

"What is Second Brother doing recently? You are nowhere to be seen in the house. I heard from Lian's Second Sister-in-law that you have gone outside the city."

"Well, I went to run an errand outside the city."

"Does Second Brother Lian like being an official so much?"

Daiyu was suddenly angry.

She remembered that since she was a child, her father was also busy running around to be an official, leaving her and her mother in Suzhou for many years.

It was only when she moved to Yangzhou later that she had time to take her mother and daughter to her side, and the family lived together for several years.

"I don't really like being an official, but..."

Jia Lian suddenly turned her head, and cast her deep eyes on the girl in front of her, seeing her newly dexterous and graceful appearance in her eyes and in her heart.

Daiyu waited for Jia Lian to reply, but after half a day's silence, she looked up and saw Jia Lian looking straight at her, and hurriedly lowered her head.

After a while, he felt embarrassed after all, stomped his foot lightly and said coquettishly: "Second brother, what are you looking at..."

"Hehe, it's nothing, just seeing our sister Lin becoming more and more like a fairy, thinking to myself, I don't know which lucky kid will be cheaper in the future, and I feel very unhappy."

"Oops~"

Jia Lian's laughing words caused Daiyu's eyes to be clouded with mist, her face flushed, and she glared at Jia Lian in shame and indignation: "You bully me~~!"

After finishing speaking, he gave Jia Lian a hard look, and then quickly returned to the desk, burying his face on the desk, not daring to lift it up again.

Her small body leaned over the table, and she became thinner and thinner, as if blowing on the table could overturn her.

Jia Lian took another look at the two little squirrels bouncing around in the cage in front of her head. Seeing that they were obviously much fatter than their peers, she felt amused.

The little girl can't raise herself well, but it's interesting to raise her pets fat and fat.

So she stood up and said to Daiyu: "Okay, I'll come to see you another day, take care of yourself.

I met my uncle yesterday, and he asked about you. I was afraid he would be worried, so I said you are fine.

If you don't take good care of it, when uncle sees it later, he should say that I lied to him.

If you have nothing to do, don't be bored in the house, go to my yard to sit and play with Xiangling and the others.

I'm leaving, you stay. "

When Daiyu heard that Jia Lian was leaving, she got up to see him off.

Hearing that Jia Lian asked her to stay, and smiled at her, he turned and disappeared at the door, after all, he didn't get up.

It's so easy to come to see her once, and then go after just sitting for a while...

After all, I don't know if it's because he is really busy and doesn't want to spend more time with her, or because Lian's second elder brother keeps his etiquette, so he deliberately doesn't stay in her room for a long time.

Thinking of Jia Lian's words again, her face was burning hot, and she hurriedly took out the mirror from the drawer to take a look.

But seeing the flushed cheeks of the person in the mirror, Daiyu was envious of the overwhelming peach blossom posture, and she was stunned before she knew it.

Suddenly hearing a soft "squeak", and looking down, it turned out that it was two gluttonous squirrels staring at her with their heads tilted.

Daiyu was ashamed as if someone had seen through her narcissism, she stretched out her hand and patted the cage, the two little squirrels almost hugged each other in fright, looking at Daiyu in horror, as if she was thinking about the huge body in front of her, how often she would give them Why is the owner of delicious food angry...

……

Wang Xifeng has been waiting for Jia Lian at home.

Just now in front of the elders, some things were hard to say.

So when Jia Lian came back, she began to question Jia Lian's abacus.

Jia Lian didn't intend to explain all her thoughts to her, but just talked about it from the perspective that Wang Xifeng could understand.

For example, if you pay [-] silver, your back will be hardened in the future, and you can justifiably intervene in the affairs.

For example, Mrs. Xing will not be able to remember if this money is invested in the government, so as not to fight famine with her.

Wang Xifeng can still understand, what she understands even more is: "Those things of the Grand Master should not be worth more than [-] silver?"

Seriously, she and Jia Lian have seen all of Jia Amnesty's things, and her judgment is definitely more than what Jia Lian said.

"What do you think?" Jia Lian asked Wang Xifeng back with a smile.

Wang Xifeng started to laugh, raised a pair of willow-leaf hanging eyebrows, and said with a smile: "The rest, take it back?"

Jia Lian knocked her on the forehead and scolded: "Don't worry about the rest of the money, how little money is there in this family?

Aren't you afraid that if you hide too much money in this house, you will be robbed? "

In the past two years, except for the 500 taels of silver that Wang Xifeng gave him at the beginning, he could only enter or not.

A larger sum of money was moved into the house, and Jia Lian even knew that if he searched the house casually, he could find a lot of money.

"Cut, who dares to steal our money, unless she doesn't want to live!"

Wang Xifeng said something very disdainful.In the end, I kept it in my heart, thinking that I should arrange someone to guard the yard...

He also thought that the money Jia Lian left behind was nothing more than a waste of money for himself, and he didn't want to fight famine with her every time.

She also knew that Jia Lian asked someone to run some kind of restaurant outside. Although she didn't think she could make a lot of money, at least it was a serious business, so she left it to him.

"It doesn't matter if you're used to spending money lavishly, you have to be capable, and I don't care if you hide hundreds of thousands of dollars outside.

I only have one request, if you want to use the family money in the future, you have to discuss it with me in advance. "

Wang Xifeng covered the forehead that had just been knocked on with his hand, and said very firmly.

What she was talking about was that Jia Lian was going to donate the family money just now. Fortunately, what she said was only [-]. If she said [-], wouldn't it be a heavy loss?
A man's family just doesn't know how to plan carefully, so he suffers for nothing.

Seeing Wang Xifeng's posture of guarding against his further attack, Jia Lian smiled and nodded directly: "Okay."

Reasonable request, he is not unreasonable.

Wang Xifeng smiled brightly and hurriedly changed Jia Lian's regular clothes. She knew that Jia Lian was going to Dongkuayuan to supervise the construction.

"By the way, in order to build a palace for the empress this time, the family has spent all their wealth.

The master never likes to take care of these mundane affairs. Probably this matter will have to be handed over to us in the end.

A total of more than 20 silver, you say we..."

Wang Xifeng rolled her eyes, obviously, she didn't have any good idea.

Jia Lian looked down at her and asked, "20 taels, how much?"

In this era, the purchasing power of silver is very powerful!
According to the current market price, one tael of silver is enough to buy more than one hundred catties of fine rice noodles!
This is why the dignified Duke's mansion only gives the young master and girls pocket money of two taels a month, because it is enough.

Therefore, 20 taels of silver is definitely an astronomical figure. It can be said that this amount of money is enough to accomplish [-]% of the world's major events!
However, only for the construction of the Grand View Garden...

Perhaps, Mother Jia and the others didn't know at all that the family-friendly house they must build was a kind of money-selling existence.

Because even the East Road Garden in Rongguo Mansion back then, or even the Huifang Garden in Ningguo Mansion, their value would not exceed 10 taels.

Therefore, Mother Jia and others thought that 20 yuan should be enough to build the Provincial Courtyard for Yuanchun.

It's no wonder they, because there are too many things they don't know!
They haven't seen the luxurious drawings designed by Shan Ziye...

They have no idea what the Grand View Garden will look like after it is completed!
Most importantly, they still don't know that Yuan Chun will be promoted to imperial concubine before visiting her relatives! !
Therefore, what Jia Lian has to do is to guard Jiamu and others when they are not ready to go bankrupt, so as to prevent them from building a simple version of the Grand View Garden in order to save money!

20 just want to solve this problem?Jia Lian shook his head, this may be wishful thinking.

In the future, when this matter is ruined because of money, I am not afraid that I will not be able to take out the wealth of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang!
Jia Lian was not worried at all that the Grand View Garden would not be built, because Mrs. Wang relied on the Wang and Xue families, and she would definitely do her best in the matter of Yuanchun.

As for whether it will implicate himself, how could it be, he went all out from the beginning and handed over his father's inheritance...

So after all the hard work of Jiamu and others has been poured into the Grand View Garden, Rongguo Mansion will be completely up to him.

Even being poor is better than being bossed around at any time.
