Jia Lian personally saw Jia Zhen and Youshi out. When he came back again, Jia Mu and others were all gone.
They all looked at Jia Lian with strange eyes.
A person's ability is not easily seen in normal times. It can only be clearly reflected when facing big events.
Even if they don't want to admit it, they understand that letting Jia Lian come over is the most correct decision.
If not, I'm afraid they won't be able to come up with a solution today just on the issue of site selection! Even if Jia Zhen is finally persuaded to give up Huifangyuan, it will probably cost tens of thousands of dollars.
However, in order to accomplish this, Jia Lian didn't just do anything. He used almost all of his father's inheritance as a bargaining chip.
"What's wrong, what are you looking at me for?
Now that the place has been designated, I think our family should start construction as soon as possible. The sooner it is completed, the sooner we can invite my eldest sister to come home to visit relatives. "
Jia Lian bowed briefly to Jia Mu and others, then sat down and said.
Jia Zheng hurriedly said: "What Lian'er said is that I am familiar with an old Minggong in the ministry. He has unique attainments in garden construction. Even the royal family often uses him to build gardens." .
After tomorrow's court, I will hire him to design and build the drawings for our home. "
"The old Minggong I mentioned is called 'Shan Ziye'?"
"Exactly, how did you know?"
"Haha, the old gentleman has a good reputation, and my nephew knows a little about it.
If the master has already fallen in love with him, it would be better to invite him as soon as possible. Now that the decree has been issued, I am afraid that there are many people who want to carry out large-scale construction projects. If I arrive late, I am afraid that the old gentleman has already taken over other people's projects and will be too busy by then, which will delay our construction schedule. "
Jia Lian smiled and reminded.
Jia Zheng became serious and nodded in agreement.
After thinking for a while, he said again: "Lian'er, we all know what you mean, but you should keep the things your father left for yourselves..."
Jia Zheng is a typical literati who values fame over profit.
For the sake of his daughter, he felt bad about asking his nephew to sell all his eldest brother's belongings to support her.
Jia Lian smiled and glanced at Jia Zheng. His somewhat shy and troubled expression did not look like he was cheating. Jia Lian smiled in his heart. Since this man can get along with him, let him get along with him like this.
"Master, there's no need to say more. It's time for our family to use money. Since we have it, we should naturally use it and concentrate our efforts on big things.
After all, I am also a part of this family, right? "
Jia Lian said it casually, which made Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng not very happy.
Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang had complicated expressions. Jia Mu said: "It's rare for you to have such a heart. Since you insist, then I'll let you do it.
But there is no need for thirty thousand. You should also consider your Feng Yatou and eldest sister and save some money to buy clothes.
Let's do it this way. Just be like us and only come up with 20,000 yuan.
If the family's money is really not enough in the future, we will make new plans at that time. "
Wang Xifeng saw that he could save ten thousand yuan, so he smiled and said: "Look what the old lady said, he is the man of the family, and he has the final say in the family affairs. Since he is willing to use his family's efforts to support the family in handling this matter, I I can only be happy for him.
Anyway, I have no place to spend money, so there is no use keeping it for me.
Our eldest sister is still young and doesn’t need much money.
It's a shame for our wife. I'm afraid we won't have the money to honor her elderly family in the future. "
Mrs. Xing sat under Jia Mu and suffered for a long time.
As long as it's a matter of spending a lot of money at home, there's no place for her to interfere!
He was already in a bad mood, but now Wang Xifeng asked him to encourage him, and his reaction was predictable.
After finally forcing out a little smile, he said that Jia Lian and others did not need to be filial, it was important to do important things, and then he couldn't sit still anymore and said goodbye to Jia's mother.
No one cared much about Mrs.
Judging from the previous results, maybe there is really no need to call her for such things in the future.
Jia Lian had done a lot for the family today, so Jia Mu and others had to adopt a pleasant attitude and pay attention to the affairs of Jia Lian's Yamen for the first time.
Jia Lian just dealt with this concern casually, and then suddenly said: "I heard from Feng Yatou yesterday that Sister Lin has a cough again. How is she doing now? I'll go and see her."
Mentioning Daiyu's illness, Jia's mother scratched her heart and sighed: "She is still like that. She has troubles every spring and summer, but she never calms down... Go and see."
Jia Lian left Jia Mu and others and went to Daiyu's room in the backyard.
It was late winter when Daiyu entered Jia's house. Because of the cold weather, Jia's mother arranged for Daiyu to live in the blue gauze cupboard in her house.
When spring arrived and the weather got warmer, Daiyu was moved to a separate house at the back. By the way, the Sanchun sisters were also moved out of Rongqing Hall and arranged to live in three buildings behind Mrs. Wang's Courtyard.
The reason given was that Sanchun was getting older and it was not convenient to be crowded together in one place.
In fact, Jia's mother is getting older and less energetic, and she feels that there are too many grandchildren and they are noisy.
However, it can still be seen from this that Jia Mu's partiality cannot be changed. She despises Sanchun, but puts her granddaughter and grandson aside.
That's all Daiyu, it's okay to be a distant visitor.
He also placed an Erbao next to Daiyu so that the Erbao would always harass Daiyu.
It is absolutely impossible to say that Jia Mu has no selfish motives in her heart!
In the cozy room, the sun setting through the screen window just dispersed, and the room suddenly became deserted.
Lin Daiyu quietly poured half of the decoction into the potted crabapple outside the window. She turned around and saw Zicuckoo standing at the door, looking at her angrily. She felt guilty, but on her face she put the bowl aside as if nothing had happened and sat down to pretend. He continued to feed the two squirrels in the cage as if nothing was wrong.
Zijuan came over, looked out the window first, and then complained: "If this tree is also sick, it will be cured after taking so many precious medicines from the girl..."
Daiyu frowned, pursed her lips and ignored Zicuckoo. She was so annoying, always asking people to take medicine!
Seeing this, Zicuckoo had no choice but to put away the bowl and spoon.
When she saw Jia Lian coming towards her, she quickly stepped aside and bowed: "I have seen Second Master Lian~"
Daiyu at the desk thought Zijuan was teasing her at first, but when she looked back, she realized that Jia Lian had really come, and she quickly stood up to greet her.
Jia Lian sat on the stool beside the tea table. Seeing Daiyu's slender and delicate body standing in front of him, he smiled and said, "I heard that you are sick. I came to see you. Why are you so reserved? Sit down."
Daiyu wrinkled her nose slightly, followed the order and went back to sit, but tilted her head, not wanting to pay attention to Jia Lian.
Jia Lian was curious: "Have I offended you? Look at that little pouty mouth?"
Anyone who keeps coughing and being forced to take medicine is not in a good mood.
Jia Lian teased her like this, causing Daiyu to look at Jia Lian dissatisfied, "What are you doing here?"
Humph, I am sick, and I just came to see you today, so I don’t want to accept your favor!
Daiyu found a perfect reason for her behavior.
"The old lady came to discuss something with me just now. She was passing by here and heard that someone was sick. She stopped by to have a look. It's okay."
Daiyu's personality is like a cat's, and her hair will explode easily if she is licked against her direction.
"Then you've seen it, you can go."
Sure enough, Daiyu said unhappily. Perhaps she was anxious and spoke too quickly, which affected her condition. As soon as she finished speaking, she covered her mouth with an embroidered handkerchief and started coughing.
Zijuan, who had just poured tea for Jia Lian, hurried over to pat Jia Lian on the back.
Seeing her stubborn yet delicate look made me feel distressed and angry, so I sighed: "You were fine before, why are you suddenly so sick again? Is it because you didn't take medicine properly?"
Jia Lian's words touched on what someone had just done, causing her to cover her mouth and look a little unnatural in her eyes.
Zicuckoo immediately complained: "The second master also said that the girl just doesn't take medicine well. She always takes half and half of the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor. If this continues, how can the girl's illness be cured?"
Hearing Zijuan complaining, Daiyu was obviously unconvinced and turned her back to prevent Zijuan from touching her.
Jia Lian looked at it with a smile, and then glanced at Zicuckoo.
I have to say that Jia Mu treated Daiyu very well, at least the girl she was assigned to Daiyu was very good.
At a young age, when he speaks and acts, he is quite intellectual and reserved.
On the contrary, if this were not the case, I am afraid that I would not be able to restrain a girl like Daiyu who is extremely emotional and difficult to get along with.
"Oh, why are you telling me this? She doesn't want to take medicine. You have tried your best to persuade her. She doesn't even listen to you. Do you think she will listen to me? She will take it if I tell her to. Already?"
Seeing that Jia Lian was teasing him, Zijuan hurriedly smiled and said, "She may not listen to what others say, but she will definitely listen to what the second master says."
"Hey, why don't you go down? I want you to talk too much here."
Daiyu really couldn't stand Zicuckoo, so she started to drive her away.
Zicuckoo didn't care when she was scolded. Instead, she spread her hands towards Jia Lian and signaled: "Look, the girl is becoming more willful."
Daiyu's temperament changes at any time, and Jia Lian doesn't have the time or energy to explain it in detail, but he knows how to follow the wishes of such a little girl.
Then she smiled back at Zijuan: "I advise you not to count on me. I don't have any 'tightening spell' that can subdue anyone. But I think that since she is unwilling to take medicine, she must think that your medicine is not good and has no effect.
If your medicine is really good and can cure the disease, I believe she will definitely take it.
Who doesn’t want to be in good health?
So instead of complaining here, why not think about how to make the medicine better, for example, add some sugar..."
Daiyu is such a sharp-minded person. She can break apart and crush every word spoken by the people around her to listen.
When she heard Jia Lian implying that she was a disobedient monkey, her eyebrows immediately stood up!
Fortunately, Jia Lian immediately found a reason for her not taking medicine that sounded very pleasant to her, and she felt relieved.
She thought Jia Lian would try to persuade her to take medicine like others, but she was tired of hearing that.
She thought that Jia Lian really understood her and would do everything she wanted, but the last sentence made her blush immediately.
She naturally heard that Jia Lian had already guessed that she disliked the bitterness of the medicine, so she asked Zicuckoo to add sugar.
Damn it, you still treat me like a child...
Zijuan originally wanted Jia Lian to help cure Daiyu, because she knew that Daiyu respected Jia Lian.
Unexpectedly, Jia Lian said something vague and illogical. But judging from the girl's reaction, it seemed that she was very touched.
She seemed to understand why they girls looked at Mr. Lian a little differently. Huh, they are all people who don't speak according to common sense!
