To get rich quickly, you need to be simple and rough
Chapter 357: Love in the Red Mansion is as Deep as the Sea 37
Grandmother Jia was very troubled, she also wanted to make the Jia family glorious for once.
But what Jia She said was very realistic. Where did the money come from? In the original novel, there was the property of the Lin family to fill the hole, but now there is nothing to help them in an emergency. Building a garden is not something that can be done with 30,000 or 50,000 silver coins.
Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver were needed, as well as the various expenses for purchasing the little actors and the maintenance of the garden. Yuanchun was now extremely wealthy.
So what if she was in the limelight? So Grandmother Jia said calmly: "Don't make a fuss about this matter. Yuan's position is very stable now.
There's no need for us to join in the fun. I've seen plenty of welcomings in my life, and they always ended up leaving a mess behind."
Mrs. Wang was so angry that she dared not refute anything else. She just knelt on the ground and replied, "I dare not refute what the old lady said, but this is also the face of the Jia family.
My daughter-in-law thought, let's learn from those small families and contribute to the Empress's honor. Otherwise, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, everyone will go home to visit their relatives. Will Yuan Yatou be left to watch over her?"
At this time, Jia's mother suddenly remembered the backbone: "Big brother, go to Lin's house and ask Ruhai for advice."
Jia She also felt that it was more reliable to ask his brother-in-law for this matter, so he quickly agreed: "Mother, please don't worry, I will go there in the evening."
Mrs. Wang no longer dared to make a fuss. She had no money to build the garden herself, so she had no choice but to give up.
Jia She did not dare to delay at all, and went to the Lin Mansion directly after the court was dismissed without sending any invitation. Lin Ruhai had not returned yet, and Lin Jinyu found that her uncle had arrived and hurried out to greet him:
"Uncle, you are always well. Your nephew greets you.
Jia She hurriedly helped Jin Yu up: "Jin'er has grown a lot taller, uncle can eat and sleep well."
Jia She followed Jin Yu into the front hall of the main house, and then Dai Yu came over to pay her respects. Jia She smiled kindly, "I heard Ying's maid say she missed you the other day.
If you have nothing to do, go to the mansion more often. Your uncle's home is the same as your own home. Although you sisters are a little clumsy, you can still keep me company."
Jia She had just finished drinking a cup of tea when Lin Ruhai came back. Jinyu and Daiyu hurriedly found an excuse to leave.
Lin Ruhai invited Jia She to his study and dismissed his attendants. Only then did Jia She tell him the purpose of his visit.
Lin Ruhai thought for a moment and said, "You don't need to look at what other concubines do. You just need to look at what the Queen does.
The Emperor and Empress are a loving couple, and we will never go wrong if we follow in the Empress's footsteps."
Lin Ruhai's words made Jia She suddenly realize that it would be better not to do such a thankless task. This time, the reason was very sufficient.
As long as he followed the Empress's steps, he would be sure to stay. Jia She was in a hurry to say goodbye, but Lin Ruhai had to persuade his brother-in-law to stay for a meal.
After dinner, Jia She said goodbye and went home, and Lin Ruhai returned to the back house to rest.
When Jia She returned to the Jia Mansion and told her mother what Lin Ruhai had said, Grandmother Jia slapped her thigh and said, "That's absolutely right! If the Empress's family asks for permission to build a garden, we'll build it. If the Empress's family doesn't, we won't move either!"
Mrs. Wang also felt a glimmer of hope and sent people to inquire about any movement from the Queen's family, the Zhao family.
As a result, half a month passed, and the concubines in the harem who could ask for imperial decree had all started to survey the land and purchase materials, but there was no movement from the Zhao family.
The Empress Dowager and the Noble Consort, who held high positions in the palace, did not make any movement at all, while other people were busy running around.
Fortunately, concubines now have the imperial edict to apply for visits to their families. After waiting for half a month, Yuanchun finally met Lady Jia and Lady Wang.
Just as Lady Jia and Lady Wang were about to kneel before Yuanchun, Yuanchun hurriedly said, "No need to bow. Hold your zither and help the old lady and the mistress up."
Then Yuanchun came between her grandmother and mother, took one of them on each arm and sat them on the couch. Yuanchun dismissed the attendants, carried the qin, brought out a bunch of tea and snacks, and then left.
Grandmother Jia told Yuanchun the family's decision. Yuanchun took a sip of tea and said, "This is the right thing for our family. There's no need to go to all that empty trouble.
Uncle Lin is a close minister to Your Majesty, and his ideas are very helpful."
Grandmother Jia handed Yuanchun a draft for ten thousand taels of silver and said, "You will never be short of money in the palace with the allowance given by your family."
Yuanchun hastily declined, "Madam, I'm doing fine in the palace. The emperor is very kind to me and comes to my palace several times a month.
These people in the palace don’t dare to make things difficult for me.”
Grandmother Jia smiled and said, "The family is relieved that you are doing well. This is for you to keep as a safety net. Please put it away quickly."
Mrs. Wang's complexion gradually improved. She knew that the girl was quite favored in the palace, and it was only a matter of time before she gave birth to a child for the emperor.
Grandmother Jia and Lady Wang left the palace happily. What they didn't know was that the emperor had stockpiled a large amount of bricks, stones, glass and wood, just waiting to make a fortune this time.
The new emperor is different from the old emperor. The old emperor cares about reputation, while the new emperor cares about practicality. Only when there is money in the treasury can he govern both civil and military affairs.
As for the emperor who ruled the country with ease and independence praised by the literati, I scoff at it. It is obviously a hoax to fool people. If you believe these nonsense, you will just hand over the country.
The emperor made a fortune when his concubines came to visit him, and Lin Ruhai also made a lot of money.
Nowadays, a wealthy family without a few pieces of glass is considered a laughing stock. In the past, any family with a glass screen would carefully preserve it as a dowry.
Things are different now. Lin Ruhai used a trick to convert domestic sales into exports, and a large amount of glass entered the market with the fleet.
The emperor stockpiled a lot of goods, and Lin Ruhai's business took off. He made a profit of more than one million taels of silver.
The emperor, who was happy with his wealth, was very satisfied with his empress and his virtuous concubine. Their families were also very low-key.
Seeing others visiting their parents, the two of them never said a word of dissatisfaction in front of him.
Whenever the emperor was in a good mood, he would grant the empress and the virtuous concubine a favor and build a yard at home with a place for them to stay so that they could go back to their parents' home for a stroll.
After the decree came down, the Queen and Consort Xian notified their families directly, which saved them money and they could still build a building.
This time, no one in the Jia family objected. In total, there was no need to build any scenery or hire a few actors to build a building. It would only cost 50,000 taels of silver.
The Duke contributed 10,000 taels of silver, Lady Jia contributed 10,000 taels of silver, the Second House contributed 10,000 taels of silver, Jia She contributed 10,000 taels of silver, and Jia Jing also contributed 10,000 taels of silver.
The building is built right next to the garden, and it can also take advantage of the garden's scenery. It doesn't look too shabby at first glance.
Now that Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng are not at home, Jia She has to do everything himself.
Jia Zheng could not be relied upon for any day's work, Jia Zhen was also drafted into the army by Jia She, and Jia Qiang had no way to escape, as he was sent by Jia She to buy a young actor.
After getting the blueprints from Shanyezi, the construction of the Jia family's provincial residence began.
The men in the Jia family are so busy that they have no time to rest. This time, Jia She has to be on guard against this group of unscrupulous servants.
Wherever money was needed, Jia She would personally take care of it.
