Honglou: This bastard is too persuasive.

Chapter 478: Mrs. Wang plans to take over Daiyu's property

The first thing Mrs. Wang did when she found Lady Jia was that she told her mother about her concerns.

But Grandmother Jia just looked at him straight without saying anything. After she knew that Mrs. Wang could not bear it any longer, she sighed hesitantly and said.

"Mother, why don't you speak?"

Grandmother Jia laughed and said.

"What do you want me to say? Are you saying that you shouldn't have been stingy with your monthly allowance for your whole life? Or are you saying that the Grand View Garden shouldn't have been lent to you? You should know that our Jia family can do anything to see the Grand View Garden. This is not only an honor, but also a major project that proves the strength of our Jia family."

"As long as the Grand View Garden is built, no one will look down on us anymore. As long as the Grand View Garden is built, our family will still be a top noble family, and we can be glorious for at least 50 years."

"If we can support you and my daughter's son ascends the throne, then our Jia family will have no problems for the next hundred years, so the establishment of the Grand View Garden is of vital importance. I have told you that no matter what you want to do, you can do it as long as you can build the Grand View Garden."

Since the old lady had made it so clear, Mrs. Wang stopped talking nonsense and went straight to the point.

"Since you have said so, I will not be polite. To build the Grand View Garden, the most critical issue is manpower and money. We do not have enough manpower and money now. Even if the hundreds of thousands of people from Ningguo Mansion and Jia family are added together, it is not enough to build the Grand View Garden. To build the Grand View Garden, we need at least more than 100 million taels of silver. If possible, we need to come up with nearly million taels of silver."

"Without this money, the construction of the Grand View Garden can only build a framework, and the other decorations cannot be built at all, so we must get at least one million taels of silver."

Mrs. Wang has already said this. If Lady Jia still doesn't understand what she means, then she should continue to be the head of the family for so many years.

Originally, he asked Jia Lian to go with him mainly to get back the Lin family's property. However, he thought that after getting the Lin family's property, he could leave a part of it for Daiyu, and then put the rest into his own warehouse as his own accumulation. However, he did not expect that he would have to take out this part of the money now.

Although the old lady was somewhat reluctant, but thinking of the importance of Grand View Garden to the entire Jia family, she simply closed her eyes and spoke.

"You can use the neighbor's money, but I must explain to you first. If you use the money, Baoyu must win the treatment as the legal wife. If you can do it, then I agree to let you do this. If you can't do it, then don't even think about taking a penny of the Lin family's money."

Although Mrs. Wang was reluctant in her heart, for the sake of the money, for her daughter's honor, for the future of the family, and for herself to be able to live as freely as the old lady a hundred years later, she simply nodded and said.

"Don't worry, mother. As long as the money from the neighboring family is used to build the Grand View Garden and my daughter can be honored, as long as this money can make our Jia family more glorious, then Daiyu will be Baoyu's wife in the future, and no one can change this." Mrs. Wang still had some reservations. She felt that after the success of this matter, the glory of the family would be certain, so it would be fine to let Baoyu marry Lin Daiyu. However, if the family's glory did not reach its peak after this matter, then he could break his oath.

The old lady's idea was even simpler. In her opinion, her eldest granddaughter had become a royal concubine, and would soon have a prince, and might even become the emperor in the future, so the glory of the Jia family was inevitable.

Under such circumstances, he would not refuse what Mrs. Wang promised. Then, he could have an explanation for Daiyu's future. He spent several million taels of silver from the Lin family and was able to give Daiyu a good future. This was the best arrangement he could make for Daiyu.

Thinking of this, he stopped talking nonsense and agreed to Mrs. Wang's request. The two of them distributed the neighbor's property tacitly. However, according to the letter from home, the silver had not been returned yet. Therefore, the old lady asked Mrs. Wang to send some people to guard it along the way to prevent all the money from being lost. Otherwise, all their efforts would be in vain.

This money is related to the construction of the Grand View Garden, so Mrs. Wang spoke quickly.

"Please rest assured, mother. I have already told my second brother about this. He knows the importance of this money and how much significance the Grand View Garden has for the future of our families. So he will arrange for someone to escort the money along the way. There will be absolutely no problems."

"According to the information sent by Jia Lian, the silver should be returned with Daiyu and the others in three to five days. I will arrange for someone to wait at the dock, and when they return, I will collect the silver as soon as possible. There won't be any problem."

After getting Mrs. Wang's assurance, the old lady breathed a sigh of relief and asked Mrs. Wang to arrange staff as soon as possible.

After Wang Fu-ren came back, she saw a maid carrying an embroidered handkerchief on the way to the courtyard where Aunt Zhao was, and many people were also going there. She immediately frowned and asked the maid beside her. The maid beside her did not dare to hide it and directly told her what they knew.

"I heard that Master Huan San followed the advice of Master Xue and bought more than 100 handkerchiefs from the mansion. He made a lot of money by selling them. So Aunt Zhao opened a shop to buy handkerchiefs from servants and maids and sold them. He made a lot of money."

When Mrs. Wang heard that Aunt Zhao had made money, she immediately wanted to get the money. However, that was the money that Aunt Zhao earned with her dowry, or it was the money she used to open the shop with the reward from her grandfather. She had no right to take it back. If the thing was fake, it would be okay to return it, but it was Aunt Zhao's things. As the mistress of the house, if she snatched it and spread the news, her reputation would be ruined.

However, when Mrs. Wang thought that Aunt Zhao was able to make money because of that bastard Jia Huan, she felt very unhappy. Just as she was about to wait for Jia Lian to come back in the next few days, she simply asked someone to call Jia Huan over.

Since there is someone who needs to be watched over at the dock these days, let this kid do it. Now is a critical period of study. If he is delayed for three or five days, he may not be able to keep up. Besides, letting him go to the dock will allow him to be more indulgent.

Even Mrs. Wang has already thought of a way. No matter how much money Aunt Zhao can make, as long as her son can spend money, he can spend all of Aunt Zhao's money. Then let's see how that woman can seduce her master.
