Red Mansion Huacai

Chapter 247: Order to Build Jinglingbo Mansion

Wang Xifeng comforted her while watching her furtively, and saw that Mrs. Wang had a sinister look on her face. She only said that she had a grudge against Mrs. Xing, but she never thought that Mrs. Wang was already interested in her.

After a long while, Mrs. Wang finally said: "That's all, I shouldn't be involved in this family matter. Now it's most appropriate for Sister Feng to take over."

How could Wang Xifeng not know that Mrs. Wang was speaking sarcastically? Because he smiled apologetically and said, "I dare not accept what Madam said. The old lady just thought that my wife had a sore, and was afraid that my wife would delay her recovery, so she asked me to take care of it for the time being. After the sore healed, my family affairs I still need my wife to take charge."

After a pause, he added: "I have something to ask my wife. Just now, the old lady said that she wanted to build a new ancestral hall. The eldest master said that it would cost fifty to seventy thousand silver, so the old lady sent me to ask my wife, what is left of the father-in-law? How much money will you bet?"

Mrs. Wang said worriedly: "You still don't know how much money is left? The total is only about ten thousand taels. You just go to the accounting office tomorrow to do an accounting."

Wang Xifeng asked for advice on where to move the money, but saw that Mrs. Wang lost interest in conversation and fell down, pretending to have touched a sore. After some thought, the money could not be changed, and I was afraid that Mrs. Wang's boss would have to discuss it with the old lady, so Wang Xifeng stopped talking and said something to Mrs. Wang, and ordered Ping'er to push her away.

Sister Feng was a resolute person, so she turned around and went to the accounting room to check the accounts. She did some calculations, and after deducting the expenses, she found that she could only use more than 7,000 taels of silver. Such a small amount of money can't even buy the surrounding land, let alone the ancestral hall.

On this day, Jia Lian went to Jia She's place to discuss the affairs of Zhuangzi outside the Pass. After the discussion, Sister Feng hurriedly sent Ping'er to find Jia Lian.

After a moment, Jia Lian yawned and returned. Sister Feng glanced at him and sneered: "Second Master, did you not sleep well last night?"

She was first awakened by Li Weijian before, and in the past two years she has been focusing on making a living in the greenhouse. Because at this time, Wang Xifeng's vision and experience were no longer what they used to be. In addition, she was already smart, so she jumped out of the box and guessed the thoughts of various people in the Rongguo Mansion. A total of seventy-seven or eighty-eight.

............................................................

Wang Xifeng managed the greenhouse for two years and gained a little bit from the construction. He thought: "On the west side of the front yard, apart from the master's study room, there are also the four nuns' houses of Li, Zhao, Zhang and Wang. If they are demolished together, Yes, if it is more compact, space can be squeezed out to build an ancestral hall, thus saving land money.

Jia Lian snorted, then Shi Shiran sat down and said, "If you have something to say, please tell me quickly. I'm very tired right now."

Jia Lian immediately shook his head: "Seven thousand taels? You can't even buy land with such a small amount of money."

"What ideas can I have?" Jia Lian thought for a while and said, "No... Then Zhuangzi sells some."

Suddenly, Li Weijian excitedly ran to Prince Zhongyong's Mansion with the exact same gift.

Wang Xifeng stopped caring. Jia Lian glanced at it and asked, "What did your wife say?"

Wang Xifeng said: "Yes, aren't I here to ask you for advice?"

One was to bulldoze the ancestral hall and build a new west road to enter the house; the other was to rebuild the plumbing, this time even the toilet with water and sewage was sacrificed, which made Cao Erkan marvel; the third was to bulldoze the Huifang Garden. Tianxiang Tower and another Angsana Tower were built. The rest of the repairs and paintings are not mentioned.

Fearing that Jia Lian would not explain clearly, Sister Feng did not care about avoiding taboos and made a special trip to meet with these two people to discuss the relocation of the ancestral hall.

Cao Erkan was truly worthy of being a garden master. In just a few days, he had coordinated all the necessary matters. He turned around and reported to Li Weijian and Fu Qiufang. He immediately allocated 80,000 taels of silver, summoned craftsmen, and started construction. .

As for the old lady, maybe she is getting older. Although she is well aware of the discord within her, she pretends to be deaf and dumb and just doesn't know.

Mrs. Wang has lost face this time and is unwilling to hand over the power of the family. How can she do nothing? I'm just waiting for Sister Feng to make a mistake in her busy schedule so that she can take back the power of running the family; and Mrs. .

However, Li Weijian left home early and came home late every day, revised it repeatedly, and finally sent the woolen spinning machinery and the supporting camel machine to Qinghai at the end of February. This is just a small test, because the sheep raised on the grassland are only suitable for spinning felt, not weaving.

Brother Jian's side, the ancestral hall is definitely not left. When it was demolished, the beams, wood, bricks and stones were all transported. Not much materials could be added. As long as one manpower was needed, wouldn't the ancestral hall be built with a few thousand taels? "

The two discussed it again, and Ping'er also intervened a few times. Feeling that there were no mistakes or omissions, Sister Feng hurriedly went to the old lady for advice.

Wu Haiping had received Li Weijian's instructions early in the morning, thinking that the dismantled materials from the Jia Family Ancestral Hall would not be sold for much money even if they were dismantled, so he agreed and opened the Ningguo Mansion with the plaque removed. At the corner gate, Cao Erkan was introduced to make detailed plans.

Sister Feng said: "Let's put it in the back street first. As for the master's outer study, it was originally a side wing. When we built the ancestral hall, we just left a few main rooms at the back and separated it from a small courtyard. "

According to Cao Erkan's estimation, the repair and transformation is quite simple. The Ningguo Mansion is not abandoned. There were people living in it earlier. It will be ready in a month or two. The West Road House and the Yuechun Building are a little more expensive. It only takes three or five months to prepare everything.

Thirty-three surnames from Beishan are pioneering in Qinghai. In a dozen years, suitable sheep breeds will probably be bred, so that they can spread to the grassland. By then, the Mongolian and Dashun will no longer be separated from each other and will be closely connected economically. As long as we are happy every day, we can expect that our thoughts of imitating our ancestors and ruling the world will be lessened.

After dinner that day, everyone came to Rongqing Hall. Sister Feng made her decision. Master Jia Zheng repeatedly praised Sister Feng for her intelligence. Master Duda thought it was too constricting, but Jia Mu made the final decision on the case.

Jia Lian sighed: "If you don't look at others, you have to look at Uncle Xie Liu's face."

Jia Lian thought about it for a while, and the more he thought about it, the more he thought this method was good. He asked again: "How should the four nannies and the master's study be arranged?"

Then the next day, Li Weijian didn't come to the house due to official business. He only sent a housekeeper to lead a wealthy man to the house. Jia Lian met them and found out that one of them was Wu Haiping, the housekeeper of Li Mansion, and the other was Cao Erkan, the master of gardening.

In March, Li Weijian took the time to visit Rongguo Mansion, sat there for a while, and gave the little girl Tanchun a birth gift. Seeing that he could not find a chance to talk to Daiyu, he left.

That's right, it was Jia Xiao's fault. It was not the Rongguo Mansion's turn to decide on the heir, so sending Jia Qin outside the customs was probably a reward for his merits.

Wang Xifeng was unwilling to give up, so she frowned and thought. Jia Lian was rarely moved, and after a while he said: "Huh? The ancestral hall is now in Dongfu. Since the saint gave Dongfu to Brother Jian, do you think you can buy the Dongfu ancestral hall? Brother Jian is also good at it. money--"

Wang Xifeng frowned immediately after hearing this: "Why is it Jia Qin again? The last time he called for an errand, it was only three hundred taels of silver, but he turned around and grabbed a handful himself. This time when he went outside the customs, he couldn't pay it back in private. How many benefits will you be greedy for!"

Jia Lian then said: "The clan fields around the capital are easy to talk about. I will go and walk around in two days and change the manager. Zhuangzi outside the pass is really a bit far away, so we just decided to send Jia Qin to go outside the pass." "

"What did the elder say?"

When Wang Xifeng said this, Jia Lian also felt it was inappropriate and said with a smile: "I just said it casually...it's so inappropriate, then there's nothing I can do about it."

Wang Xifeng snorted and said, "What else can I say? I'm afraid I'm angry right now." Then she lowered her voice and told Jia Lian about the eldest wife's frame-up, which made Jia Lian dumbfounded. Sister Feng turned to talk about the ancestral hall and said, "I just checked the accounts, and I guess there are only seven thousand taels that can be used."

In addition, the new fire gun has finally been finalized, and the Armed Forces Academy is now trying to build it.

Before he finished speaking, Wang Xifeng made a sound and said: "Brother Jian is taking care of us like this. The second master doesn't say anything in return, but he will also plot against brother Jian. If these words spread, brother Jian will definitely be chilled." heart of!"

A few days later, Cao Erkan came up with the plans, and after Li Weijian added and revised them, he finalized all the projects for the mansion.

It goes without saying that Mrs. If Mrs. Wang cooperates, the Rongguo Mansion will probably be in chaos.

As the saying goes, "It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice." What can a mere seven thousand taels of silver do?

Wang Xifeng immediately sneered and said: "I'm afraid someone is just waiting for us to sell Zhuangzi. This will definitely be a thankless task."

Jia Mu had no choice but to ask everyone to gather together in the evening to settle the matter. Wang Xifeng breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and sent another message to Li Weijian, inviting him to come over tomorrow to discuss the relocation of the ancestral hall.

"Then it's in front of Baoyu's Qishaizhai... It's feasible."

Eunuch Chen Fu personally welcomed him out. When he saw Li Weijian, he smiled and said, "Master Li has not been here for some time. The prince has mentioned it several times before."

Li Weijian smiled and said: "I just arrived at the Military Academy a year ago, and I have just figured out everything now. Why don't you come here to trouble the prince as soon as you get some free time?"

Chen Fu laughed loudly, led Li Weijian into the study, and sent the maid to bring tea. After a long while, King Zhongyong came in wearing casual clothes and holding his hands behind his back.

Li Weijian stood up to greet him. King Zhongyong Da Ma Jin Dao sat down and took a few glances before saying, "Are you willing to come?"

Li Weijian sneered: "Isn't this beaten by a saint before?"

King Zhongyong immediately laughed and said, "Didn't I hear that Li Fusheng and the Jia family were causing trouble?"

"Isn't there still an old lady who is pressing me down? The Jia family's children down here are saying a lot of weird things."

"sit down."

The two had a close friendship, and their conversation was casual. Li Weijian said a few words briefly, and then opened the baggage: "My lord, please take a look, I have made a good thing."

"Oh?"

King Zhongyong took a closer look, but saw that it was just a brass lamp with a glass cover. While he was wondering, he saw Li Weijian opening the cover, covering it with cotton mesh, putting the tea into the small pot, reinstalling it, and slightly turning the valve. There was a squeaking sound inside, and a faint smell came from it.

King Zhongyong was frowning when he saw Li Weijian taking out a fire stick, lighting it close, and then turned the valve to adjust, and in a blink of an eye the brass lamp lit up.

When I sniffed again, even the smell was gone.

"The light is bright, but what can I say?"

Li Weijian smiled and said: "Back to my lord, this is a carbide lamp."

Carbide lamps, gas lamps, gas lamps, they all mean the same thing. Fill the dripper with water and slowly drip it on the calcium carbide. The calcium carbide reacts with water to generate acetylene flammable gas, which becomes a bright light after being ignited.

The technical content of this thing is not high, but Li Weijian feels like he has found a treasure. Because in the past, whether it was a machine factory or a military academy, if the candles were not bright enough to work at night, they had to use whale oil lamps! What is the price of whale oil? After clicking around for one night, dozens or hundreds of taels of silver are gone.

To calculate the cost, it would be better to stop work at night and reheat the various boilers and reverberatory furnaces early the next morning.

Li Weijian had been worried about this for a long time. However, China was poor in oil, and several large oil fields could not be developed with current technology. At that time, he began to think about importing oil from Brunei to refine kerosene.

It happened that last year, Li Weijian asked King Zhongyong to order a search for ores. Li Weijian accidentally saw the calcium carbide mine, and it suddenly dawned on him.

Today’s technology cannot mine oil, but mining carbide ore is no problem! It happened that when he was handling group affairs in his previous life, he personally shut down two calcium carbide factories in Shanxi.

At that time, calcium carbide was produced by heating coke and quicklime in an electric arc furnace. Now that Li Weijian is still designing a converter, there is no need to think about artificial calcium carbide, but he vaguely remembers that there are two calcium carbide mines in Shanxi.

After briefly recalling the location, I hurriedly asked Cao Yunsheng to look for it. Within a few days, I saw that Cao Dong's family had indeed returned from searching for two carts of calcium carbide ore. This is how we have today's carbide lamps.

"Carbide lamp?" King Zhongyong frowned and said, "The name is hard to remember. I think it's better to just call it electric lamp."

Li Weijian: "..."

King Zhongyong looked at it for a moment, nodded and said: "This lamp is good, one can hold more than a dozen candles."

Li Weijian said: "My lord, I know that this lamp will be sold well, especially in factories and mines, which are in urgent need of it for night lighting."

Then King Zhongyong waved his hand cheerfully: "Li Caishen said that there is no need to worry about sales. Why don't I believe it? Let's be honest, how much money does the inner government have to invest?"

"Ten thousand or twenty thousand is enough."

King Zhongyong's face stiffened and he asked: "So, how much income can you get per year? Can you issue shares?" Li Weijian suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, and said: "My lord, this lamp is really not that rare. The difficulty is that it is difficult to find it in the calcium carbide mine. "

King Zhongyong thought: "In this case, why don't I tell the sage that the private sector is not allowed to mine calcium carbide?"

Sure enough, King Zhongyong has realized that only a single business is the most profitable. After some persuasion, Li Weijian reluctantly gave up King Zhongyong's thoughts.

The two sat down again, and King Zhongyong looked at Li Weijian again, and then said: "Yesterday, when I entered the palace, I told the sage that Li Fusheng was so frightened by the sage that he did not even dare to see me."

"Ashamed."

King Zhongyong warned: "It's just a little beating. How dare you fight with Xiao Ce Zero that day? But in the future, you can't judge the holy will randomly, otherwise I won't be able to come to you and give you a few whips. If Li Caishen doesn't do it, he will do it." What kind of lucky villain?"

"Yes, never again."

Seeing that Li Weijian no longer took this matter to heart, King Zhongyong turned to military affairs. A large number of Dongfeng rockets were installed in the Beijing camp. Over the past few years, officers and assistants who were familiar with the performance of artillery were gradually trained. King Zhongyong was determined to raise his troops to march westward again and conquer Junggar in one fell swoop.

However, because of the battle in Qinghai, the saint was really afraid that his biological brother would die outside, so he refused to do so no matter what. Now the general Yue Zhongqi has been recalled, and he intends to use Yue Zhongqi as his commander to conquer Junggar together with Feng Tang in the autumn.

King Zhongyong said: "The Mongols really can't believe it. Previously, Khalkha and Junggar were fighting to the death, and it was not because of my Dashun's protection. How can there be Khalkha? Now seeing the decline of Junggar, Khalkha has given birth to two rats. Duan Zhixin is really hateful!"

Li Weijian thought: "This is nothing but a trivial matter. Now the general trend is with me. Junggar is like a withered bone in a tomb. No matter how thoughtful Khalkha is, it's just a matter of obedience. A few days ago, Qi Chen made a set of woolen spinning equipment for the Lubu Department. I'll wait for it later." The day spread was unfolded, and Mengwu and I, Dashun, were tied together. Even if the princes of various families had different intentions, the people below would not dare to turn against me, Dashun. This policy of restraining the emperor lasted for several decades, and Dashun could Promote land reform and return to local people in the grasslands."

"Oh? Is there still this matter?" King Zhongyong was shocked and asked again and again.

Li Weijian then talked about the wool spinning matters. After hearing this, King Zhongyong thought carefully about it for a long time, but he could not find any mistakes or omissions in it.

Li Weijian is full of confidence. How can it be easy to decouple the economy? Not to mention Prince Mengwu who doesn't understand anything, didn't even the old beauty torture herself to the point of ecstasy, and she couldn't take off her clothes in the end?

After a long while, King Zhongyong slapped the table: "Come on! This strategy of resurrecting without spending a single soldier is very clever! Oh, no, I have to go to the palace to report to the saint." As he spoke, he stood up suddenly: "That's it. , so there won’t be much left to resurrect.”

Li Weijian was startled, then stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty will leave on his own. In this case, I will go back to my house first."

"Well, Chen Fu will send him back to life on my behalf."

At that moment, the eunuch Chen Fu respectfully sent Li Weijian out. Before leaving the house, Li Weijian felt really puzzled and couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty...have you been feeling bad these days?"

"On cloudy days, my thighs feel a little itchy."

Li Weijian nodded, thinking that because of this, King Zhongyong didn't let him have dinner in the palace, and left immediately. But he never saw it. Chen Fu shook his head and smiled at his back for a long time.

However, because Princess Li Mengqing was getting older and entered the palace with the second concubine not long ago, Concubine Wu mentioned the marriage. The second concubine turned around and came back to mention this to King Zhongyong. Then she counted the children of each family and found that no one could compare with Li Weijian.

So he told Li Fusheng that he might as well promise Mengqing to Li Fusheng.

King Zhongyong immediately became angry and took the quilt to a different place overnight. He did not give the second concubine a good look for several days. Now that he had just calmed down, Li Weijian came to the door... With the temperament of King Zhongyong, it was not easy for him not to embarrass Jinglingbo. He still wanted to eat in the prince's palace? Oh, if I stay a little longer, the prince will fall out!
Returning home that day, Fu Qiufang said during dinner: "Master, now that the mansion has been renovated, we can move in someday."

Li Weijian was surprised: "So fast?"

Hongyu smiled and said: "We have enough money and have given out rewards. Wouldn't it be much faster?"

Fu Qiufang added: "Famous experts have been invited to inscribe the plaques everywhere, and they have all been completed."

Li Weijian glanced at Fu Qiufang with a smile and said teasingly: "I'm afraid Qiu Fang can't wait to move in, right?"

Fu Qiufang pouted slightly and said nothing. She certainly wanted to help her husband rise to the top, but before she could help, Li Weijian jumped up like a monkey in the sky! He was only sixteen years old, already a second-class uncle, and now he was leading the Military Academy.

Occasionally, he interacted with Yiyingruren and Anren, and everyone envied Fu Qiufang for his good luck. Li Weijian, the capital of the capital, has already established his power. All he needs to do is to accumulate popularity and gain popularity. If he is determined, he will definitely go to Xuanma to pay homage to the prime minister in twenty years.

Now Fu Qiufang has nothing else to ask for. He only hates that this mansion is too cramped and is really not worthy of the status of Master Li Weijian. Because I was extremely considerate during these days, I offered rewards and kept urging the craftsmen to step up repairs.

Seeing Fu Qiufang's unusual coquettishness, Li Weijian smiled and said, "In that case, choose an auspicious day and we will move there."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qingwen smiled and said, "You still have to say it, Fourth Master? My aunt went to Lingguan Temple to ask for help a long time ago. The 16th of this month is a good day."

Li Weijian knew that Fu Qiufang was too young to make jokes, so he casually said, "Then we will make a date to move on the 16th."

All the beauties were delighted, and the chirping was so lively. At night, it was Fu Qiufang who was on duty. When he was in London, Fu Qiufang became more affectionate. Sometimes he frowned, showing infinite charm; , What a fascinating person.

The joy of having sex in bed cannot be explained to outsiders.

The next day, Li Weijian realized that he had been busy for two months and then went to Laoting to deal with the railway affairs, so he became slack. In the morning, I went to Debuiyuan to order a meal, and returned home near noon.

In late spring, the grass and trees are growing and the side garden is full of flowers. It is the time to take a stroll. They had just had lunch and were about to go for a walk in the garden with Concubine Ji, when Qianxue came to report: "Master, Second Mistress Lian is here."

At that moment, everyone went to the Yimen to welcome her, but they saw that Wang Xifeng only brought the maid and mother-in-law, but neither Ping'er nor the wheelchair.

Li Weijian smiled and said, "Second sister-in-law has recovered?"

Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "The splint was removed a few days ago. Brother Jian didn't know that he couldn't walk when his feet were stuck to the ground. It took several days to recover smoothly. It's just that I'm not too old, otherwise the injury would be so bad I have to endure it for another month no matter what."

Li Weijian said: "Second sister-in-law has just passed her twenties, so how can she not be older? She is obviously very young."

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Sister Feng took a peek and saw that Li Weijian's expression was as usual. Immediately, he secretly spat at himself, saying that he was a villain.

Now I entered the inner house and sat down to serve tea. After chatting for a while, Li Weijian asked about the situation in Rongguo Mansion. Wang Xifeng frowned at first, and then smiled and said: "What else can I do? People don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. When my wife is in charge of the house, I just run errands, so what? Do you know all the secrets in the house?
While my wife is recuperating from illness, I am rushing to put it on the shelves. Something happened here today, and something bad happened somewhere else tomorrow. Oh no, I really don't have a moment to spare. Now that my wife is well, I hurriedly told the old lady that I would still ask her to take charge of the house. It has become a bit more relaxed these days. "

Although she was smiling, her heart was filled with anger!

What’s so difficult about being in charge of a business? On that day, Mrs. Wang was in charge of the house and Wang Xifeng was the housekeeper. Sister Feng knew the secrets inside. Now it's her turn to take charge of the house. Everything is wrong here or there. Wang Xifeng is a smart person. How can I not see that Mrs. Wang is secretly causing trouble?
Although Mrs. Wang's eight companions are not of great use in the palace, they are all in important positions. Now, under Mrs. Wang's orders, they are all trying to hold Sister Feng back. Wang Xifeng has worked hard and has to take care of the affairs of the ancestral hall. How can he have the patience? A few days ago, Wang Xifeng got angry and slapped her mother-in-law severely. Then she was called over by Mrs. Wang and scolded her for being too harsh.

I don't know what Jia Mu was thinking, but her explanation was the same as Mrs. Wang's. Wang Xifeng secretly thought, thinking that the old lady didn't want to see the big house being the only one in the house, so she started to think about balance. After thinking clearly, Wang Xifeng simply gave up her choice.

After more than a month, this boss not only didn't get the money back, but also spent hundreds of taels of his own money. Why bother with such a thankless effort?

As soon as Sister Feng put down her choice, Mother Jia turned around and tried to comfort her. She tried to comfort her, but it was still as usual, Mrs. Wang was in charge of the house and Sister Feng was the housekeeper.

Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng, a pair of aunt and nephew, seem to be the same as before, but in fact, the cracks in their hearts have long been established, and they are no longer as close as before.

Although Li Weijian didn't know the inside story, he could hear something from Wang Xifeng's self-deprecating words. It's a pity that my concubines and concubines are all here now, so I can't tell Sister Feng face to face, so I can only talk nonsense.

After talking for a long time, Sister Feng said with a smile: "A woman looked across the rockery and said that Dongfu has been renovated. After receiving the news, the old lady sent me to ask Brother Jian, when will we move here?"

Fu Qiufang said: "It just happened to be settled yesterday, and we will move here on the 16th of this month."

Sister Feng immediately pulled Fu Qiufang and said with a smile: "It's okay to move here. We are closer. We will have to move around more frequently in the future."

Fu Qiufang smiled and said, "It just so happens that I see my second sister-in-law getting close to her too."

Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "The two gardens are only separated by a corner gate. You don't have to go outside when you come and go in the future, just go through the corner gate. The old lady has spoken, and the left and right brothers Jian are not outsiders."

There is something in Wang Xifeng's words. Fu Qiufang and Hongyu are both human beings, so why can't they hear the hidden meaning? After all, the Grand View Garden occupied a small part of Huifang Garden. This time, Jia Mu must have ordered Wang Xifeng to say this to silence the Li family, so as not to have any more arguments about the garden.

Fu Qiufang wanted to do everything, but Li Weijian didn't care. It just occupied some space. Now that the saints are at their peak in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Jia family has just lost the Ningguo lineage. How much can it do if the Rongguo lineage is left alone? Jia She is greedy and absurd, Jia Lian is lustful, and Jia Zheng is pedantic. Seeing that no one can keep the family property, it is unlikely that the Grand View Garden will become Li Weijian's in the future. Why should we care too much now?
In the next few days, Wu Haining supervised the transportation, and there were constant carriages coming and going every day. He first moved the items that were not commonly used to the new mansion. By March 16th, excluding daily expenses, the rest had been moved. At an auspicious time that day, more than a dozen carriages drove straight to Ningrong Street.

When they arrived at the place, gongs and drums were roaring and firecrackers were blasting. Li Weijian personally picked up the plaque with a bamboo pole, and saw several large gilt characters on it, "Edict to build Jinglingbo Mansion".

Li Weijian was the first to enter, followed by his concubines, maids, and servants. This mansion has a layout of three roads and four entrances. The west road has not yet been built, but the east road is ready and has not been changed.

First there were the stables and servants' rooms, and then there was the original residence of Jia Rong, a second-entry house; then there was the original You family's residence, and a third-entry house.

At this time, the rule was that the middle road was generally vacant and reserved for discussions and celebrations, so Li Weijian moved into the original Youshi courtyard.

Qingwen, Xiangling, Hongyu, Xiuying, etc., because they all still had the status of maids, lived in the left and right side rooms and side rooms. Fu Qiufang was a concubine and it was not easy to live in the main courtyard, so he simply chose a place at the back. Children live alone in a small courtyard.

It was very busy at this time, how to arrange everything, how to place objects, how to arrange the servants and maids, all were taken care of by Fu Qiufang, assisted by Hongyu, and Haiping, Qianxue, Haining and others were busy.

Li Weijian still wanted to help, but Fu Qiufang disliked it for causing trouble, so he just went to Huifang Garden on his own. Now that the Tianxiang Building has been demolished, a new Angsana Building has been built on the original site. At this time, the second floor has just been built, and it is estimated that it will be completed in May.

Li Weijian walked with his hands behind his back, and did not need a maid to follow him. He just walked casually and arrived in front of Ningxixuan in a blink of an eye. Looking up, across the small bridge is the east corner gate of the Grand View Garden. Unfortunately, the east corner gate is still half open at this moment.

Li Weijian's heart moved, he rolled up a book and walked across the bridge. When he got to the east corner gate, a woman stopped him. When he raised his eyes and saw Li Weijian, he hurriedly bowed down and said, "I've met Fourth Master Jian."

"Have you seen me?" Li Weijian asked with a smile.

The mother-in-law said: "I have met Fourth Master Jian several times from afar. My man is Qin Xian, and everyone calls me Qin Xian's family. Now he is sent to guard this corner gate."

Li Weijian smiled and said, "Your man's surname is Qin, but he is related to Siqi?"

Qin Xian's family said happily: "Siqi is my niece, and she is the most serious relative." After a pause, he added: "Fourth Master is not an outsider. If you want to visit the garden, just go in."

Li Weijian nodded, shook his sleeves, and casually threw a silver barley over: "Then I'll bother my sister-in-law."

Qin Xian's family got the silver barley seed. When he got it, he knew that he had two taels of silver barley. He immediately smiled and thanked him: "Oh, that's what I said. Thank you Fourth Master for the reward."

"Just be busy, I'll go shopping and be back."

Entering the corner gate, passing the Jade Emperor Temple and the Qingtang Cottage, bypassing the gate bridge and stopping diagonally across from the Aojing River Pavilion, you can see the spring breeze, especially the peach blossoms, with falling red falling in the breeze. Sure enough, What a view!

Seeing another peach blossom falling, Li Weijian opened the book and watched the peach blossom fall on the page. Just when he was waiting, he suddenly heard a voice like an oriole behind him: "You... what are you doing here?"

Li Weijian looked back and saw a pair of eyes that looked like weeping but not weeping, looking at him with anger or joy. She carries a flower hoe on her shoulder, a flower bag hanging on the hoe, and a flower broom in her hand.

Inside, she wears a blue silk jacket with a side-breasted collar and a stand-up collar, a yellow jacket with floral and leaf patterns on the outside, and a white silk pleated skirt on the lower body.
