Chapter 287 Jia Qing's Decision

"I wonder which expert I am going to ask for to design and build a garden?"

When the smile slowed down, Jia Qing asked Jia Zhengdao.

Jia Zhenge: "I am going to invite two wise old Minggongs from the Ministry of Works to design and build them."

Jia Qingxi said: "Is there an old man named Shanziye?"

Jia Zheng said in surprise: "How did you know?"

Jia Qing smiled and said, "I have heard of this old man's name for a long time. He is a tycoon in the garden construction business. If the second uncle invites him, we will definitely be able to see the garden for the Empress!"

After hearing this, Jia Zheng couldn't help but remember it in his heart.

After the matter was agreed, everyone sat together and chatted, occasionally listening to the praises of a few Qingkes.

Jia Qing originally thought that the topic would soon be transferred to the money spent on building the provincial villa, but until it dispersed, Jia Zheng did not raise this issue, and Jia Qing did not know it.

The answer to this question was not revealed until the third day was late.

Jia Qing had just met Leng Zixing, who reported to him about the situation in the restaurant and wanted to keep him for dinner, but he heard that Jia Lian was coming.

"Second Master, please be busy first, and the younger one will go back first."

Leng Zixing is very tactful and knows that there are many things happening in the Jia family recently, so he dare not delay it.

Jia Qing let him take him out and invited Jia Lian into the study outside.

"Second Brother Lian has been so busy recently, why are you here?"

"It's really busy, but fortunately it's almost done now.

By the way, since you are building a garden for your elder sister, the mansion has moved your original residence to the old lady's yard. The wife specifically asked me to tell you."

The entire Dongda Courtyard will be occupied, and all the places that should be demolished must be demolished, so Jia Qing's side courtyard is naturally no exception.

Jia Qing smiled and said, "Brother Lian came here at this time to tell me this matter, right?"

Jia Lian smiled and said, "Of course not, there is a big thing to discuss with you."

Waving his hand, letting the maid who had grown tea go down, Jia Qing waited for Jia Lian to speak.

Jia Lian said: "Today, Mengpozhai's second brother is here to discuss the matter. Can you recognize the design drawings planned by Mr. Shanziye?"

Jia Qing smiled and said, "Of course, Shan Ziye is worthy of being a famous garden. If it were built completely according to the drawings he drew, the eldest sister's villa for visiting relatives would probably be the royal garden.

It even has a more scenic view!”

Jia Lian said happily: "That's right, the master said so. So, in your opinion, how much money does it take to build it?"

Jia Qing's eyes closed and said, "If you want to build the garden and buy it all, you may not be able to get it without 400,000 taels of silver."

Although Jia Qing estimated that it would only cost more than 200,000 taels of silver to build such a large garden between the two mansions. However, this was just a good construction of the garden, and it did not count as adding items to it after it was built, and it did not count as the greed problem of the people in the mansion and others!

The superiors and subordinates here are not just subordinates!

Jia Qing knew that Jia Qiang went to Gusu to buy an actor once, and then he sent 30,000 taels of silver from the Zhen family!

I think it’s impossible to have much left in the end. What a spendthrift method of managing money!

Therefore, Jia Qing estimated that 400,000 or 500,000 taels for them, which is not an exaggeration at all.

Maybe it was because I had money at that time. This time, there was no such "unexpected fortune"!

Sure enough, Jia Lian's face became awkward and said, "This, there is no such a lot of spare money in the mansion? Besides, I have to prepare for the expenses of my elder sister visiting her husband..."

Jia Qing asked back: "Then how much are you planning?"

Jia Lian said: "It's only 200,000 taels."

Jia Qing said: "Well, it's okay. If I add some more here, it's almost done..."

Jia Lian became even more embarrassed, knowing that this is why Jia Zheng and Jia She didn't come and only let him come forward.

"The second brother misunderstood. The 200,000 taels mean that our two mansions each paid half of each, and totaled 200,000 taels. This is the master's opinion. I'm here to discuss this matter with you today. Do you think it's done?" Jia Lian couldn't, so he had to say shamelessly.

In fact, he hasn't said his father Jia She's thoughts: I heard that Brother Qing has made a lot of money in business over the years, and his mansion has few people and not many places to use money. This time, it's time for our family to pay more money...

Fortunately, Jia Zheng was not that shameless, otherwise he would not have done this job if he was beaten to death.

After saying that, seeing Jia Qing silent, Jia Lian thought Jia Qing was not satisfied with this method, so he said, "What are the difficulties in the second brother? The master said, just tell me if there is any difficulties and everyone will discuss it.

But, second brother, you should also understand. Our mansion has indeed been very expensive over the years and we really can't get any money. Otherwise, if the eldest sister becomes the empress, who wouldn't want to build the garden better? This will not only make the empress's face shine, but also look good on our faces..."

He only thought Jia Qing thought they had paid less, but he had paid more.

Jia Qing said: "Are you so poor?"

Jia Lian felt that his face was ruthlessly ravaged by Jia Qing, but he had to say: "There is no way, I have to leave money for visiting my relatives and spending my family. The old lady is rich, but that is the ladder she saved for the rest of her life. Who dares to think about it? It is difficult to sell the property, otherwise the Empress's face will be even worse.

So, I had to do this.

Fortunately, the master has calculated that as long as there are 200,000 taels of silver, the garden can still be built. As long as you have survived this, hehe, life will not be so urgent..."

He probably thought of the glory of becoming the uncle in the future.

Jia Qing ruthlessly attacked: "200,000 taels are definitely not enough! The money is not used on the right path yet, so I will pay half of it first. At that time, let alone welcome the eldest sister home, I am afraid it will not let the eldest sister be embarrassed!"

Jia Lian was stunned at first, then realized what Jia Qing was saying, and said confidently: "Don't worry, second brother, I will definitely not let the money be greedy. Humph, we have to save money to welcome the elder sister to visit her. If they dare to stretch out their hands, do they really think that my Jia family has no family rules, right?"

He said it quite loudly. Jia Qing shook his head and said coldly: "You can't stop this!"

"Well......"

Jia Lian felt that he could not communicate with Jia Qing. If you dislike too much, you would just say it, why would you dislike too little? If you have money, who can save it?

"Second brother, stop going around with me anymore. Just say, what do you think!"

All the preparations were in place, and Jia Qing didn't want to talk nonsense anymore. He stood up, walked into the middle, and said with his back to Jia Lian:

"The elder sister has rarely met the emperor's kindness in so many years. She can go home to visit her relatives and relatives. We have to do everything we say so that we can't let relatives and friends laugh at our dignified Duke's Mansion, and we can't let the elder sister be unable to raise her head in the palace!

You go back and tell me that since the mansion really can't withdraw enough money to build a villa for the bride-seeking villa, our two mansions were originally one, and the empress was also my elder sister. If you can trust me, leave it to me to build a villa for the bride-seeking villa!

I can't guarantee anything else, but as long as it is said by Mr. Yamakono, I will definitely build the garden without any loss!

No matter what you say, you can't weaken the big sister's voice!

Of course, if the second uncle doesn't believe me, it's nothing. I will give you 100,000 taels of silver tomorrow for you to build the garden. However, from now on, I will not participate in all matters about building the garden. At that time, it will have nothing to do with me if the garden is built at that time!"

When Jia Qing heard that Jia Qing was going to take charge of this matter, before Jia Lian could think of anything else, he heard Jia Qing say directly that he was willing to pay the 100,000 taels of silver. He was very happy that this mission was completed!

But after hearing Jia Qing's words, he frowned again. As soon as Jia Qing said the last words, if the master still adopted the latter, even though the money should be given, he would probably really offend Jia Qing. In the future, the relationship between the two governments would be difficult to get the money by saying that he could get the money as he said like this today.

Jia Lian was also a little embarrassed for a moment and didn't know how to reply when he went back.

"Brother Lian, please go back. This is my idea. If you want to build, build the best one. Otherwise, I won't participate. Of course, you don't have to make things difficult. It depends on what the master is thinking about. When you go back, just tell the truth."

Jia Qing smiled.

Jia Lian stood up unconsciously, took only two steps, and suddenly asked, "Second brother, are you serious, can you build it completely according to what Mr. Shanziye said? You know, we can only come out with so much money, so that's the extra cost, but you can only make up for it yourself?"

Jia Lian thought about it and still felt that Jia Qing had a good opinion. Since he was willing to take over a lot of money and was willing to pay money, he just wanted the right to take over. What is this worth? The garden built at that time will not be used for Yuanchun to visit relatives, nor will anyone's private garden!

After hearing Jia Lian say this, Jia Qing was much better at his senses and smiled and said, "Of course, I will do what I say. Anyway, the garden is going to be built in the two mansions, and you are not invisible. Are you afraid that I will cut corners?"

"Haha, my second brother is joking...Okay, I will reply to the master as you said, but you just don't think you are at a disadvantage then!"
