Luck in the heavens starts from the Red Mansion.

Chapter 218 Unexpected results (please subscribe)

The whole Rong Mansion feels chaotic, and I guess I have no intention of celebrating the New Year.

Because of the incident in the Provincial Family Courtyard, not only the core members of the mansion were troubled, but the children of the families below also joined in the fun, and various rumors spread.

They talked about everything, almost all the places where Rong Mansion could build a provincial residence.

Some shameless guys actually set their sights on Ning Mansion and took a good look at it.

The most shameless thing is that I don’t know which guy doesn’t like Jia Huan, so he took the martial arts school at the entrance of Ningrong Street into consideration.

It seems that as long as Jia Huan contributes to the martial arts school, the matter of the Provincial Family Courtyard will be completely solved.

After Jia Huan got the news, one word flashed in his mind: Grass!

The martial arts hall is located on the corner opposite Ningrong Street, which is not suitable for building a royal villa at all.

The area of ​​​​the martial arts hall at this time can barely build a three-entry courtyard, and that's it.

"Master, if there is any need in the house, I am willing to dedicate that martial arts gym!"

Jia Huan was not a good person either. He immediately found Mr. Zheng and made such an impassioned statement.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Mr. Zheng Er was furious and comforted Jia Huan.

He has the most respect, how could he covet the property of Jia Huan, a concubine?

Although there is a saying that "parents don't buy property". But if he couldn't accommodate a humble little martial arts school, then he would be calling himself a father in vain.

In addition, he turned to face the family, who dared to target Jia Huan's gossip, and severely rectified and cleaned up, and then suppressed the unhealthy tendencies in the family.

After Jia Huan openly and honestly filed a lawsuit, he didn't take the matter to heart anymore.

However, Xue Pan quietly came to him again and told him some news that he didn't know whether it was good or bad: "Brother Huan, the Sanjin Mansion opposite Rong Mansion has been acquired!"

"Mom plans to move there after everything is cleaned up, and you have to go have a drink then!"

"It's so fast, doesn't it cost a lot of money?"

Jia Huan was a little surprised. He also heard Master Zheng say something about the house opposite.

"The price is one hundred thousand taels!"

Xue Pan said with some pain: "This is still an acquaintance relationship, otherwise the price will be even higher!"

Speaking of this, he chuckled and said, "After all, Yourong Mansion can help raise the price!"

"Since we are acquaintances, why do you want such a high price?"

Jia Huan said in confusion: "According to the normal price, fifty thousand taels is considered a high price!"

"The owner of the house is from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I have dealt with him before, so I don't think he is too familiar with it!"

Xue Pan was a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "No matter what, as long as we can successfully get the house!"

"From the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

Jia Huan's heart moved and he asked curiously: "Is this the only one from the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

"How is it possible? There are two houses nearby that are also from the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"

Xue Pan curled his lips and said: "With the royal brand in hand, these guys are all extremely rich!"

"No one knows how much property they have outside. If it weren't for luck this time, it would be impossible to realize that they are the owners of the house!"

"How many others are there? Have you found out the origin of the proprietor?"

Jia Huan had not heard the second master Zheng say this before. Obviously the second master Zheng did not know these things. He could only say that the guys from the Ministry of Internal Affairs had hidden them deeply enough.

"That's not clear!"

Xue Pan shook his head and said: "Brother Huan, you also know that the water here in the capital is very deep. There are some things that you cannot inquire about casually. It can easily cause trouble for yourself!"

Jia Huan didn't mention this matter again, but he knew in his heart that the Rong Mansion should end this time because of the entanglement in the Provincial Family Courtyard, and there was no point in continuing the fuss.

really. When he quietly informed Master Zheng of the Xue family's actions and the identity of the owners behind several houses across the street, he could no longer keep his serious face.

Whenever I think about it, people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs live across the street, and my heart is filled with dismay!

Of course, there is more vigilance and uneasiness.

When the old lady heard Master Zheng's report, she became completely silent.

Soon, news came out from Rongqing Hall that the Yuanchun Provincial Courtyard was built at the current location of Lixiangyuan.

In fact, it's a pretty good choice. Regardless of environmental factors or other aspects, the only person who is unhappy is Mrs. Wang.

She didn't care who lived across the door, she just wanted to come back in glory to visit her relatives!

In fact, because of this matter, I had a quarrel with Mr. Zheng for a while, and there was no sign of easing up even during the New Year.

Why would Mr. Zheng Er care about Mrs. Wang's mood?

If Wang Ziteng was still there, he would probably still have some concerns, but it is obviously unlikely at the moment.

Some things can be left to Mrs. Wang's whim, but there are some things that cannot be compromised.

At this time, Mrs. Wang went around asking relatives to borrow money, but it was leaked for some reason.

After the second master Zheng heard the news, he was so angry that the Rong Mansion was like a shabby settlement. He went to a relative's house to have sex for money. It was embarrassing to say that.

However, Mrs. Wang didn't take it seriously and felt that what she did was not wrong at all.

On the contrary, they often scolded Aunt Xue, Qin Keqing and Wang Xifeng in private. Aunt Xue finally gave me the money, a full one hundred thousand taels in silver notes!

But Mrs. Wang felt that it was too little. With the wealth of the Xue family, she would need at least 300,000 taels before she would be willing to accept it.

This matter spread to everyone in the house, and everyone was surprised by Mrs. Wang's greed.

The Xue family has already sponsored one hundred thousand taels, which is a huge sum of money. Why are they still not satisfied?

Is it possible that the Xue family must come up with blood books? That would be too exaggerated, right?

As a result, Mrs. Wang directly put the money sponsored by the Xue family into her own private treasury. As for the construction of the Provincial Courtyard, the public money must be used.

This move made it impossible for Wang Xifeng to survive.

Fortunately, as the provincial residence has shrunk significantly, the construction costs have naturally plummeted.

Mr. Shan Ziye, a famous expert in related business, was invited to help with the design and planning, but the highest price of the final plan was less than 200,000 taels.

If you save more money, one hundred thousand taels will be plenty.

The old lady waved her hand and naturally chose the highest standard construction method.

Lin Zhixiao, one of the three chief stewards in the government, was responsible for presiding over the construction of the provincial residence.

This guy seems to be the most honest, and his abilities are quite good, so no one objects.

By the time things were settled, it was already the spring of the next year.

The Xue family moved out of Lixiangyuan easily and lived directly in Sanjin Mansion opposite Rongfu.

This is the third entrance to the house, and the backyard wall faces the main entrance of Rong Mansion. The Xue family opened a small door on the courtyard wall to facilitate Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai to enter the Rong Mansion.

Seeing that Rongfu really started to build the Provincial Palace, Ningfu directly sent a sponsorship fee of 100,000 taels.

Wang Xifeng was not stingy and took out fifty thousand taels.

The Pardon Master also had 50,000 taels. He said it was enough and he could not give out any more.

The old lady's sponsorship amounted to one hundred thousand taels, and she was an absolute rich person.

Mr. Zheng Er managed to raise 50,000 taels of silver and used it as a sponsor.

The Shijia Shuanghou Mansion sent a total of 50,000 taels of silver, and Lin Ruhai also sent 50,000 taels of silver.

Even Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan, mother and son, were willing to send five hundred taels of silver.

All this money finally fell into the hands of Mrs. Wang, and she made a lot of money.

Mrs. Wang received more than 550,000 taels of silver in one go, all of which was sent to her private house.

Awesome!

When Jia Huan heard the news, he was shocked.

There was a picture flashing in my mind, which was the classic picture of Zhuge Liang scolding Wang Lang. Prime Minister Zhuge's voice was particularly clear: "I have never seen such a shameless person!"

Regardless of whether she knew it or not, the first reaction was that Mrs. Wang was so shameless that she used her daughter to make money in the name of visiting the bride!

Sometimes I really don’t understand why Mrs. Wang loves money so much?

But no matter what, the matter of the Provincial Family Courtyard is finally over.

At this time, the entire capital's attention was attracted by the construction of a special residence for the concubines who had already confirmed that they wanted to be married.

At the same time, the prices of various high-quality building materials are also rising.

At the highest point, it was even three or four times higher than before, which was quite exaggerated.

But there is no other way. The construction of the provincial residence has become a battlefield for various competitions among several concubine families. Each one is vying for the first place for fear of losing the face of their own concubines.

No matter how expensive the materials outside are, you have to bite the bullet.

According to the information Jia Huan obtained, in just a few months, the cost of purchasing building materials for several concubine families has reached as high as 1.5 million taels!

Fortunately, Rongfu no longer acted as the biggest enemy.

It feels crazy to think about it. To build a Grand View Garden, the Rong Mansion probably spent no less than three million taels.

It was as if all the money was not money, and he was spending it randomly, and in the end, the last vitality of Rong Mansion was consumed.

At present, Rongfu is building the Provincial Courtyard, and most of the bulk building materials purchased are from the eight farms outside the city. Of course, the prices follow the market price and there is no discount.

However, after the Eight Great Farms made money, half of it was returned to the government in the form of rent.

In fact, the money spent by Rong Mansion has always been within 150,000 taels.

This kind of expenditure is quite easy for Rong Mansion at this time.

Of course, when it comes to the decoration of the villa later, there are other expenses that are not low. It depends on how Lin Zhixiao, the chief steward in charge of building the villa for relatives, operates.

At least during the construction process of the other courtyard, this guy and his henchmen did not do anything.

Some benefits are naturally inevitable, but they are all within the scope acceptable to the core members of Rongfu.

Although Jia Huan was not involved in the construction of the other courtyard, Jia Huan could estimate the specific expenses and expenses based on the material details alone.

Of course, he only paid attention to it occasionally and didn't put his mind on it.

The mansion was noisy, and the core members' minds were basically attracted by the construction of the Provincial Courtyard, so they were naturally less sensitive to things outside.

Just in time, Jia Huan took the opportunity to make some small moves, which were not easily noticed, and unexpected changes occurred.

On the ethnic studies side, in addition to the students participating in the Tongsheng Examination and Scholar Examination this year, there are also students participating in this year's martial arts examination.

Naturally, Jia Huan had to keep a close eye on him to avoid any accidents.
