Chapter 99

When Jia Mu sent someone to invite her, Jia Jing immediately cleaned up and went to Jia Mu's courtyard with Lin Daiyu.

In Rongqing Hall, Jia She, Jia Zheng, and Jia Zhen from Ningguo Mansion were all present.

Jia Zheng had an unconcealed smile on his face. Seeing that Jia Jing was coming, he hurriedly greeted: "Brother Jing and Daiyu are here, sit down!"

Looking at the attentive Jia Zheng, a sentence flashed through Jia Jing's mind.

If you have nothing to do, you will either be traitor or steal!

"Is there anything wrong with the old lady today?"

Jia Mu had a smile on her face and was a little embarrassed. She hesitated for a while and said to Jia Zheng next to her: "You'll just tell everyone about this!"

Seeing that Jia Mu said this, Jia Zheng did not refuse and said with a smile: "But today I have a great good thing to tell you!"

After saying that, Jia Zheng looked around at the people present, but saw that no one took on his words, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

But the matter had to be said, so I calmed down again and continued: "I entered the palace yesterday and was announced that the concubines in the palace went home to visit their relatives!"

"Empress Xian Concubine wants to go home to visit her relatives? It is indeed a great thing!" Jia Zhen nodded.

He asked again: "Which day is the date of visiting relatives? The mansion can clean up early to welcome him!"

When Jia Zheng heard this, his face felt a little embarrassed, "I am not in a hurry to visit relatives. The palace issued an order saying that we noble relatives in the pepper room can come to the palace to meet each other on the 26th in the future. In addition, if anyone who has a Chongyu villa at home can also ask Luanjia to return home to fulfill his family affection and share the joy of family."

Upon hearing this, Jia She frowned, "So, we have to build a private courtyard to visit the bride before we can invite Concubine Xian to go home to visit the bride?"

Jia Zheng nodded, "That's the case! I heard that Concubine Zhou's father had already started work at home and was building a villa for visiting relatives. Concubine Wu's father Wu Tianyou's family was also going out of the city to see the place."

Jia She waved his hand, "Then you second brother, hurry up! They are all fathers, so you can't be stingy! Avoid being underestimated by others for nothing!"

"I..." Jia Zheng's face turned red, anxious and angry, and opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to speak.

Seeing Jia Zheng's speechless look, Jia Mu couldn't help but sigh. If you had learned the skills of chatting with those simplified people here, what else would you say clearly?

Jia Mu coughed lightly, and saw everyone looking over, Fang said, "This virtuous concubine visits her relatives is a big deal for our whole family. It is very expensive to build a villa for the bride, so I'll call you to come and discuss it together!"

Jia Zheng nodded immediately and said, "That's the reason!"

"I don't think this is necessary. Don't the family go to the palace to meet every 26 years? If you miss the queen, go and have a look. There is no need to build another villa for visiting the marriage!"

"How can brother say that?" After hearing Jia She's words, Jia Zheng was a little unhappy. "Concubine Xian went home to visit her relatives, which is the grace of the present, and it is also a great honor for our family!"

"I don't think there is any glory anymore. I'm all compensated by my own money!"

Jia She sat there, and when he thought of the large amount of money he had to spend to build a villa in the province, he felt that his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys were all painful.

As the person who is Chengjue from Rongguo Mansion, he is all his own money!

"This money should be spent! After the palace orders came, the other concubines' families began to build villas for marriage. Our family was going to be independent. What are you thinking about doing?"

Jia Mu was in the top, and she was determined.

"The villa should be built when visiting the family!"

Jia Jing nodded and agreed, "I heard that this is the invitation from the Emperor of Heaven to the Dragon Shou Palace in person, and it is also the decree specially issued by the Supreme Emperor. This matter has become a foregone conclusion. If it is not built, wouldn't it be a public refutation of the goodwill of today? Therefore, this villa in the relatives must be built."

Seeing that Jia Jing agreed, Jia Zhen on the side hurriedly expressed his opinion, "I follow the third brother Jing's meaning!"

He looks like he is following the head of Jia Jing.

Jia Jing looked at Jia Zhen in surprise. Since the incident in the ancestral hall before the New Year, this old man has shown goodwill to his family from time to time, and no matter what decision he decides, he will follow the Marquis' Mansion.

Seeing Jia Jing looking at him, Jia Zhen agreed and smiled at Jia Jing.

My brother's road is getting wider and wider!

...

"Then let's discuss it!"

Jia Mu said, "How to build this villa in the marriage, how big is it, and where is it built? It all needs to be a proper statement."

Everyone started talking about the huge amount of money spent on building a villa with relatives.

Finally, after discussion, starting from Huifang Garden behind the Ningguo Mansion Ancestral Hall in the east, to the northwest of Rongguo Mansion, a total of three and a half miles were demarcated, specifically for building a villa for the relatives!

At that time, we will start to demolish the walls and pavilions of Huifang Garden in Ningfu, and demolish them all the way to the east courtyard of Rongfu, and demolish them together with the houses of the servants in the east of Rongfu, so that the territory will be cleared out.

In addition, in order to reduce the consumption of money, everyone discussed and moved all the bamboo trees, mountains, stones, pavilions, railings and other items in the old garden where Jia She lived to use it in the newly built garden. Doing two places together can save a lot of financial resources.

Jia Jing also said that he could seconded several masters from the Ministry of Works to start planning and production, which would definitely save materials.

This saves and saves and reduces, but in the end, it still costs at least 700,000 taels of silver to build this garden.

For a moment, Rongqing Hall became quiet.

In this era when five or six taels of silver is enough to allow a family of three in the market to eat for a year, 700,000 taels of silver can fight a small-scale war!

...

Seeing that everyone didn't say anything for a moment, Jia Mu sent him: "In this case, then we will pay 400,000 taels of silver from our mansion, and 200,000 taels of silver from our marquis's mansion. I will take out 100,000 taels of silver from my own private silver, and I will only raise 700,000 taels of silver in this way!"

Jia Zhen heard the share of the money sent by Jia Mu and smiled and said, "Old lady, the Marquis' Mansion of the Third Brother Jing has only been newly built for half a year. How can he have such a solid foundation? Why don't he just let him pay 100,000 taels? The remaining 100,000 taels will be compensated from my mansion?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Shi's expression changed and she hurriedly pulled Rajazhen to her sleeves: "Master, our mansion has not had much investment in the past few years. It's not even enough for the mansion's expenses back then, such a large sum of money..."

"Okay," Jia Zhen stopped You Shi and frowned, "Why has it been your turn to speak?!"

"You will receive your intention!" said Jia Mu: "Now that such a large area has been marked out in your mansion. How can you pay for money again?"

Besides, Jia She, looking at Jia Zheng who was sitting on the side, couldn't help feeling disgusted.

"When my mother does things like this, my son has something to say!" Jia She looked at Jia Mu and said, "The most honorable person in Concubine Xian went home to visit her relatives is the second brother's family. The second brother has to express his feelings!"

Jia Zheng's face turned red when he was spoken, but he still sat there without saying a word.

There is no way, this statement is just a large sum of money, and decades of salary may not be enough.

Jia Mu said: "There is no separation, and the 400,000 taels of silver paid in the mansion is of course one of the second son!"

Jia She stood up, "Since that's the case, what will my mother asks me to come and do? I'll just decide what the matter in the mansion is!"

After saying that, he shook his sleeves and walked away with his head raised.

Jia Jing couldn't help but look at him. Is Jia She so brave today? Or is he brainwashed by the remnants of the deposed prince?
