Chapter 193 Chapter 190 Chapter [-] Planning of the Family Visiting Villa
Xiren was also anxious, he got a lot of opportunities, but...
Looking at the women in front of her, Jia Rong was filled with happiness. The enchantress Zhou Qiaoer raised her long eyebrows slightly, her big eyes gave her a sneaky look: "Qiaoer." He raised his glass to invite her.
Zhou Qiaoer clinked glasses with him and drank happily.
Xiaoqing occupied his right hand, and Qin Keqing was next to his left, making small movements in private.
Master Rong is considering making a large bed for eight people.
Qin Keqing asked You Shi for five days off, determined to work hard to achieve results.
Master Rong withstood the storm at night.
Sign in to get ten tons of sugar.
In the afternoon, Jia Rong took Qin Keqing to the old lady's residence in Xifu.
The old lady led everyone to meet with the national ceremony first, and then Jia Rong and Qin Keqing met the elders again.
Everyone was beaming, and the Duke and his wife wanted to call themselves aunt, grandma, etc., feeling happy in their hearts, and rewarding the gifts they had prepared in advance.
Aunt Xue gave jade pendants and other precious gifts.
The old lady gave clothes and several pieces of porcelain from her collection.
The aunts had no money, so they gave some calligraphy and paintings written by themselves.
Aunt Zhao handed over some jewelry with a smile, and her fair and tender appearance aroused Jia Rong's anger.
Second Aunt Lian was rich and powerful, so she directly gave Brother Rong gold and silver melon seeds, and Qin Keqing a bunch of precious rouge and water powder.
After a while, Youshi brought the women from Dongfu over, and there was another excitement.
Ping'er received special treatment, and everyone gave a lot of gifts.
"Brother Rong, congratulations." The old lady was in a happy mood, and the East Mansion wanted to add a baby: "Yuanyang brings the wine, I want to have a drink with him."
The mandarin ducks serve the wine, and the old lady raises a glass to invite.
The two drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
Porcelain wine cups are very small and cannot hold much wine in a glass.
Yuanyang asked the little maid to serve fruit cakes.
Jia Rong ate a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake: "Aunt Yuanchun's conferment of a virtuous concubine is a major matter for the two prefectures. I don't know if the empress has any instructions?"
Mother Jia handed Ping'er a pastry: "I have an important matter to discuss with you."
"Please tell me, old lady." Jia Rong received Ping'er's beautiful smile.
"Holy Lord, please allow the concubines to go home to visit relatives. Every family has begun to build a villa for relatives, waiting for the ladies to go back to visit relatives.
Our family has a prince and a concubine. I want to build a larger family-bestowing villa, which cannot be underestimated. "The old lady smiled.
"There is no shortage of money in the mansion, just set aside a place to build it, and let the second aunt Lian take care of it." Jia Rong knew Wang Xifeng's hobbies and asked her to be happy.
Lian's second aunt came out with a smile on her face and declined.
The old lady laughed and scolded: "You monkey, don't care about the meeting, where do you want me to find someone to preside over the project? Is it possible that I will go into battle in person?"
Everyone laughed and made fun of Lian's second aunt.
Only then did Aunt Lian accept the project with a smile.
"Yuanyang, take out the maps of the two mansions. Brother Rong and I will discuss the location of the garden." The old lady ordered.
Yuanyang went to the warehouse to get the drawings in person.
Only the heads of the two prefectures, the old lady and Brother Rong can make up their minds about such a big event, and others will follow along to see the excitement.
Take the blueprints and put them on the table, the two of them study and mark out the place, and ask Xichun to estimate the area.
The old lady heard the area figure and said: "It's not as big as the garden of Concubine Wu's family, and her natal family is just a middle-level family."
Everyone was silent, not daring to answer.
Seeing that the old lady was unhappy, Jia Rong smiled and said, "The old lady thinks it's small, so let's draw a piece of land from Dongfu."
"Okay, Brother Rong will handle it as you said, what do you think is more suitable?" The old lady felt relieved.
Jia Rong drew a large circle, and the Xue family's temporary residence was all circled inside.
"Aunt Xichun, please calculate the area again." Jia Rong smiled and said to Xichun who has grown a lot.
"Okay, let me do the math." Xichun began to calculate carefully.
After a while, the approximate figure will be reported to the old lady.
"The area is one-third larger than her house, so that we can show the grandeur of our Duke's mansion. It will prevent Miss Wu from going back to the palace to talk." Jia Mu laughed heartily, thinking to herself, Concubine Wu and Yuan Chun's granddaughter are at odds, this time Tell her to lose face.
Jia Rong heard the news from the palace that Concubine Wu Guifei possesses unique skills and is quite favored by the emperor, and she has a lot of opinions on Aunt Yuanchun.
"The old lady is right, you can't let outsiders look down on you. This time, the East Mansion will pay half of the money for the construction of the family-friendly garden. It must be luxurious and beautiful."
The old lady encouraged and praised: "Brother Rong is bold and generous, he is worthy of being the patriarch. Baochai asked someone to calculate how much money he needs, and report it tonight."
Xue Baochai took the order and left.
The atmosphere gradually became lively, and Tanchun began to enliven the atmosphere.
Wang Xifeng and Aunt Zhao took people to prepare for the evening banquet.
Aunts Shi Xiangyun and Lin Daiyu came over to put on airs of elders, deliberately teasing Ning Guogong Jia Rong to salute them.
Li Wan also booed.
Jia Rong was the youngest in seniority and was helplessly molested by them.
In the evening, Jia pardoned Jia Zhengjin and went to the hall to pay his respects, and the old lady told them about visiting relatives.
The two reacted indiscriminately, which annoyed the old lady, she sighed secretly, and kicked her out of the inner hall.
Xue Baochai came back and reported the figures given by the accountant.
"The accountant said that it will take about 120 million taels of silver to build it, and there may be some discrepancies in the middle." Xue Baochai told the old lady.
When the old lady heard the number, her head hurt, she was only concerned about her face just now, and now she will need to pay so much money, so she hurriedly asked Wang Xifeng: "How many taels of silver do you have?"
"Go back to the old lady, the cash is 80 taels, and the bank notes are 450 million taels." Wang Xifeng has not worked in vain for the past two years.
The old lady has been pampered and pampered for the past two years, but she just heard that Brother Rong has made a lot of money in business with Xifu, but she didn't ask the specific figure, so her eyes were wide open.
In the past, there were six to seventy thousand taels of silver in the public school, which was not bad.
Brother Rong's methods are really amazing, thanks to Feng girl's ability.
"Okay, the money is enough. Thank you for your hard work these past two years, Feng girl." The old lady praised Wang Xifeng with a smile.
Mrs. Xing's heart almost didn't jump out when she heard the exact amount of money. It would be great if so much money belonged to her.
It's a shame that this daughter-in-law is very cunning, no one can try to get something from her, with the support of the old lady and Ning Guogong behind her, she doesn't dare to mess around.
She smiled embarrassingly, and took a sip of tea to cover it up.
Shi Xiangyun was stunned. She lived a miserable life every month, and when she heard the silver taels, she didn't know how to describe her feelings.
Jia Rong sat next to him silently. He only had a few silver coins. Dongfu Bank asked Xiaohong to expand it several times. Only his wife Youshi and his wife Keqing knew how much he had put in.
It's a pity that the family business accumulated by Lian's second aunt has been used to make wedding dresses for others. This time the amount of silver taels is reported, and the West Mansion is afraid that there will be a dark storm.
Mrs. Xing's eyes lit up a little, Mrs. Wang must have thought of a way to give some to the empress, reward the palace people to buy people's hearts, and make friends with the eunuch.
How much of the poor Second Aunt Lian's hard work is left?
Wang Xifeng resigned and went out to work on the banquet.
