Chapter 276: The Compassionate Villa is Completed

King Zhongshun didn't feel proud for long. He was called to the palace by the Supreme Emperor and reprimanded. The reason was naturally that the cost of the provincial villa was too high.

The emperor wanted him to stop and save some face.

Originally, the Supreme Emperor didn't care about this kind of thing, and it couldn't be brought to the attention of the Supreme Emperor.

As for the natal family who built the provincial villa, they all donated it voluntarily. None of the officials took the initiative to accept their benefits.

Just strictly abide by the unspoken rule of handling cashiers.

Even the Jia family, a family that received special care, didn't say anything.

The matter was initiated by Concubine Nan'an and Concubine Beijing. They revealed it when they went into the palace to pay homage to the Queen Mother and Concubine Zhen.

The Queen Mother ignored it, but Concubine Zhen accidentally mentioned it in front of the Emperor.

No one said anything, so of course the Supreme Emperor didn't care. The two sons were just calculating other people's money, it was no big deal.

But when someone mentioned it, the Supreme Emperor couldn't ignore it.

King Zhongshun was scolded and felt uncomfortable, so he restrained himself a little.

Because of this, the provincial villas in Beijing were completed one after another and successfully passed the inspection.

The Jia family was delayed for some time because of Jia Baoyu's marriage. In addition, the Jia family's courtyard was the largest and most luxurious, so it was completed last.

Wang Tingxuan never asked how much money King Zhongshun made from it.

Miao Zhonglei and others made a lot of money. They made 110,000 taels. As for how to make money, in addition to the suggestions provided by Wang Tingxuan, the servants of the Jia family also provided many methods.

Once, Miao Zhonglei complained in front of Wang Tingxuan: "The servants of the Jia family have too many ways to make money. When we did business with them, we originally wanted to make a big profit. As a result, everything was done by them.

I took care of it myself, so we showed up and got money. At that time, I felt embarrassed myself."

Sorry, you took the money too.

The construction of the bride's villa was completed, and the emperor gave his concubine some face, without setting any obstacles. Anyone who had completed the courtyard construction could be the bride's villa.

The time for visiting relatives was set on the day of the Lantern Festival.

The only bad thing about King Zhongshun is that he holds grudges.

Although your empress's family has contributed a lot to his wallet, don't let the matter of him being reprimanded by the Supreme Emperor go away so easily.

The royal concubine needs to spend her family's money to build a villa for her wedding. The royal family can't let the queen go home empty-handed.

King Zhongshun said: "Brother, according to the regulations, the royal family must also prepare gifts of gold and silver colored satin for Jiao Fang Juan, and rewards for servants such as cakes, purses, gold, silver and copper coins as gifts. In my opinion, the gifts of gold, silver and colored satin are

After all, things are a bit stingy, why not just give them some exquisite glass products."

The emperor asked other important ministers, some agreed and some opposed.

Finally, the decision was made.

Wang Tingxuan was really worried about Princess Nan'an and Princess Beijing. If those empresses' families knew the true price of glass products, would they cause a riot in the two palaces?

However, they don't need to worry for the time being, glass products are still considered luxury goods.

The day for the family visit was decided, and Jia Mu's mind started to get active again.

After this experience, the Jia family's vitality has been damaged, and the public accounts are completely empty.

The boxing gifts sent by the Lin family are more or less useless, and they are not worth much money in total.

Except for Mrs. Xing who was satisfied with the quantity of the gift, no one was satisfied.

On the day when the Lin family gave away the holiday gifts, Jia Baoyu happened to be in Jia Mu's room.

When they heard that someone from the Lin family was coming, but did not see Lin Daiyu, they started making trouble again.

Jia Mu also took advantage of Jia Baoyu's trouble and once again mentioned that she would take Lin Daiyu over to live there for a while.

Mrs. Wang's attitude towards Lin Daiyu changed at this time. It was not that her attitude towards the Lin family had changed, but that Jia Baoyu was already engaged.

In the past, she wished that Lin Daiyu would stay away from Jia Baoyu, but now she hopes that the two of them will be together, and it is best to do something unruly.

She didn't like Lin Daiyu becoming Baoyu's wife, but she didn't object to becoming Jia Baoyu's concubine.

Therefore, Mrs. Wang rarely expressed her opinion.

This time, Jia Mu did not send Wang Xifeng to the Lin family, but sent her confidant, Yuanyang.

From Jia Mu's point of view, her sincerity is complete, and the Lin family will not refuse her kindness.

But how could Lin Ruhai get what she wanted.

Under the care of Prince Zhongshun, Lin Daiyu quickly integrated into the upper-class social circles of the capital. If she were allowed to live in the Jia family at this time, wouldn't everything be in vain?

Lin Ruhai said directly to Yuanyang: "I understand what the old lady means. Go back and tell the old lady that I don't want to hear any more rumors about Yu'er."

Yuanyang shivered in the face of Lin Ruhai's momentum.

Jia Mu has a noble spirit that she has cultivated for many years. Although she is under pressure, it has no lethality. To put it bluntly, she has lost any spirit.

The one in Lin Ruhai is the real superior, with a murderous aura.

Although Yuanyang was scared, he still managed to hold on and said: "Mr. Lin, those rumors have nothing to do with the old lady. The old lady loves Miss Lin the most, how could she hurt her."

Yuanyang didn't deny the existence of those rumors, and she couldn't deny them either.

Lin Ruhaicai would not argue so much with a maid, and said: "You will listen to what I say. Go back and tell the old lady that Cunzhou is only a sixth-rank official now, but he is much better than Bai Shen."

Yuanyang understood what he meant and didn't dare to stay any longer.

Jia Mu slammed the table angrily and said, "What do you mean by Lin Ruhai? He couldn't do anything about Zheng'er."

To this day, the Jia family still doesn't know why Jia Zheng was demoted.

Lin Ruhai's words frightened Jia Mu after all.

Seeing that it was almost time for the mother-in-law to have a wedding ceremony, if the mother-in-law's biological father was reduced to a white body, the Jia family would lose all face.

However, Lin Ruhai's words did not last long.

This time, Jia Mu invited Lin Ruhai instead of Lin Daiyu.

This was not only the intention of Jia's mother, but also the intention of Jia Yuanchun. Jia Yuanchun could see things more clearly in the palace than in the Jia family outside the palace.

It's not that Lin Ruhai needs the support of her empress, but that she needs Lin Ruhai's support.

If he could get Lin Ruhai's support, he might even get the golden book.

She had never heard a good word about the Lin family from Mrs. Wang, and she didn't feel comfortable leaving the matter to Mrs. Wang, so she wrote a letter to Jia Mu.

After Jia Mu read it, she handed it to Mrs. Wang and said, "You should also read the letter from the Queen."

Mrs. Wang quickly read through the contents of the letter, her face became uncertain. Did the Lin family contribute anything to the provincial villa? Why should they give this honor to the Lin family?

Jia Mu didn't care about Mrs. Wang's thoughts and said: "I don't care what you told the queen. The queen's letter has already made it very clear that she wants to meet Son-in-law Lin. As a mother, what do you mean?

.”

Mrs. Wang was unwilling to give in, but what else could she do? Concubine Xian De never mentioned this plan when she was in the palace.

"Old lady, brother-in-law Lin has too much misunderstanding of our family, so I'm afraid he won't agree to come."

Jia Mu frowned and said, "It's the Emperor's grace that your Majesty is planning to marry you. Mr. Lin will not disobey the imperial edict. As for those misunderstandings, just send someone to explain them clearly."
