Chapter 358: Love in the Red Mansion is as Deep as the Sea 38

Master Jia She is like a Taoist priest in a snail shell. His eyes are now obsessed with money.

He has a grandson now. If the heir to the title was not allowed to leave the capital at will, he would have gone to see his grandson long ago. How could he have the time to take care of all these messy things in the mansion?

Anyone who wants to get the money in the mansion now is Jia She's enemy. Why don't you just take a piss and see if you are worthy of it?

The fifty thousand taels of silver were squeezed out of water in Jia She's hands. As for the bricks, stones and wood, Jia She pulled Jia Zheng out:

"Second brother, you stay in the Ministry of Works and look for ways to find cheaper bricks, stones and wood. You know we don't have much money.

"If I could just use some cheap materials, I could save enough to build a small yard. Thank you for taking care of this, second brother!"

Jia Zheng was so angry that his beard was shaking. His elder brother was really obsessed with money. How could a scholar, oblivious to the world outside, care about such things? "What an insult to the culture! What an insult to the culture!"

Jia She doesn't care whether you are polite or not, just go to work happily! I, the master, only care about economic benefits and nothing else.

Jia She then went to his brother-in-law, Lin Ruhai, because he knew the Lin family had a greenhouse where they could eat fresh vegetables in the winter. Besides, Lin Ruhai was the Minister of Revenue and his network was definitely wider than his.

Jia She first talked about the difficulties and then said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, we are not empty talk. We have encountered difficulties. Now that we have no glass, even if the house is built, people will look down on us.

But now there are many people building gardens, and the price of glass is too high. Can my brother-in-law find a way to spend less on it? It would be better. "

Jia She's actions made Lin Ruhai very happy. If this brother-in-law were in modern society, he would definitely be a talent.

Using all the resources around him to save as much as possible, Lin Ruhai said with a smile: "Brother, are you here to ask for money from me?

Haha, but you really asked the right person. Don’t tell anyone, a few days ago a classmate of your age wanted to renovate his house and bought a batch of glass.

"I never thought I'd be assigned overseas. There's no point in renovating the house. All I have left is this batch of glass. He can't take it with him when he leaves, so I sold it at a low price."

Jia Shele's eyes narrowed into a line. What he wished for came true. Ever since the trend of garden renovation started, the price of glass has doubled. If he could get a cheap one, he could save a lot of money.

Lin Ruhai invited his brother-in-law to dinner. People's feelings are developed through interactions. In this life, Jia She still takes good care of Lin Daiyu and her brother.

Whenever there was something new and strange, as long as Yingchun had one, she would give one to Lin Daiyu.

Since her uncle wanted to have dinner at home, Lin Daiyu, the housekeeper, naturally did her best to entertain him.

The kitchen also spent a lot of money to entertain the guests with steamed eight-treasure pork, braised mixed vegetables, stir-fried prawns, braised pheasant in a pot, sea cucumber with scallions, honey-glazed fire square, soft-shelled eel, golden soup abalone, steamed hassel ants, and cherry meat.

A jar of the best Zhuangyuanhong was also prepared, and it happened to be the next day's day off, so Lin Ruhai accompanied his brother-in-law for a few drinks.

Jia She drank a little too much during the toast: "Brother-in-law, it's all thanks to you! Otherwise, Lian'er would still be wasting time in the mansion, and his wife would have nowhere to go.

Now they have a son, and their life is going well. They also received excellent grades in the Ministry of Personnel's assessment this year.

I finally have hope. It's not easy for me all these years. This is just because I'm talking to you.

I, your big brother, have lived a miserable life these past few years. Let’s not talk about this anymore, let’s drink…”

Lin Ruhai asked the housekeeper to send the drunk Jia She back to the Jia Mansion, and Mrs. Xing rewarded the housekeeper with a red envelope.

The current Mrs. Xing is no longer the Mrs. Xing who was not presentable in the past. It is true that money is a person's courage.

Now Mrs. Xing is keeping Yingchun under her name, and she often uses Yingchun's help to meet Jia She.

In the past few years, Mrs. Xing has received a lot of money from Jia She, and even seized several of them from the servants' farms and shops.

Mrs. Xing now shows the demeanor of a noble person in her every move. Although she still holds on to money tightly, she definitely doesn't look petty anymore.

Yingchun also came up to help ask the nanny to go downstairs to prepare the sobering soup. Mrs. Xing also took out some rare items, the snow skin snacks that Lin Daiyu brought her.

It was filled with yogurt and fruit, which looked very appetizing: "Your sister Lin sent her housekeeper to bring it over, it's half a cart full.

This cake is really beautiful. Sister Lin is so clever. I wonder how you came up with this idea."

Jia Mu also received some snacks, and then all the masters in the mansion received some. This snack was actually the idea of ​​Lin Ruhai.

Seeing that his daughter had no appetite in the hot summer, he came up with the idea of ​​Snow Meringue in later generations. Lin Ruhai only needed to give an idea, and the pastry chef in the kitchen was very skillful.

The kitchen was busy preparing all kinds of samples and fillings. There were so many that even the people in the Lin Mansion could not finish them all.

It just so happened that this time, it was sent to the Jia Mansion under the pretext of sending Jia She. Jia's mother liked soft and mushy food, and since this snack was not greasy, she ate two of them in one gulp.

The remaining prominent stewards also got a little to try. Aunt Zhao and her son also got a box.

Aunt Zhao taunted while eating, "Ms. Lin is still the eldest wife, unlike some people who talk big but spend little.

Even eating crabs is divided into different levels, as if no one cares about her little tricks!"

The next day, after Jia She sobered up, he contacted Lin Ruhai to get the glass back. Although Jia Zheng was a low-ranking official, he had some channels in the Ministry of Works.

The bricks and stones were bought at a price 10% lower than the market price. Lin Ruhai told the emperor about this operation of the Jia family as a joke. When the emperor heard that Jia She went to Lin Ruhai to ask for money, he was amused:

"Marquis En is a sincere man, and he wears a hat that suits his size. The Jia family does have limited financial resources, after all, they have repaid all the losses incurred by the national treasury."

Lin Ruhai gained a lot of favor from Jia She. Anyone with too much money would be remembered by this emperor.

The character that Lin Ruhai created for himself was the type who was content with a small fortune. The emperor knew that Lin Ruhai was not poor but he was just from a middle-class family.

When Lin Ruhai left Yangzhou, he only had a few pieces of luggage, and the books took up most of the cabin.

The image of a refined scholar has always been deeply rooted in people's hearts, and the Lin family has never been ostentatious. In the eyes of the emperor, this minister is a symbol of stability and maturity.

The small courtyard of the Jia Mansion was built very quickly, because it was just one small place and there was no need to make any big changes. It was completed quickly before the New Year. Although it was small, it had all the necessary facilities and looked very beautiful.

What's even more amazing is that Jia She actually took out 8,000 taels of silver from it. The little actors that Jia Qiang bought were also in place.

The master was very happy, as it meant that the eldest wife only had to spend two thousand taels to accomplish such a big thing.

Jia Zheng showed the courtiers around the small courtyard, which was only a short tour. However, the courtiers still praised the exquisiteness of the Jia Mansion's garden.

Jia Zheng was very proud, but he was too modest to say that it was too extravagant. The little actor also began to prepare and practice the song. Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

The Jia family was very anxious during this year, waiting for Concubine Xian to return home.
