Since the heating in the boiler room had been restored, Xiang Ling and Yu Chua'er went to the south room to rest in the evening, so that Jiao Shun could make up for yesterday's 'deficit'.

Although Jiao Shun was in high spirits on the second day, in view of yesterday's lesson, he deliberately shortened his morning exercise time and went to the main room to have dinner with his parents early.

After one and a half large cakes and two bowls of millet porridge were eaten, and Jiao Shun was about to go back to the east chamber to change into the clothes he had gone out with, Mrs. Xu handed over a list of names.

"This is?"

"I came here yesterday to ask for help."

Lai Wang drank millet porridge and said vaguely: "Relationships far and near, character and talents are clearly written on it. You should take the time to read it and make sure you know it well."

Jiao Shun took it over and glanced at it casually, and saw that it was listed very carefully. There were more than twenty people in total, divided into three, six or nine grades.

Those on the third level should be their basic base in Rongguofu, and those behind are mostly temporary people, or just wallflowers who can't be offended everywhere.

"father."

Jiao Shun flicked his finger on the list: "Do you want me to recommend a few, or..."

"You don't have to worry about the recommendation."

Lai Wang shook his head and said, "You just need to keep it in mind, and Mo Pingbai will give them no mercy."

It turns out to be ‘don’t hit the smiling person’.

Jiao Shun felt much more relaxed now. He nodded, rolled up the list and stuffed it into his sleeve, then returned to the east compartment and changed his clothes.

Not long after, Liu Changyou arrived, and they went to the garden together.

Due to the lack of those ceremonies, work started earlier than yesterday.

But since many things had been arranged yesterday, not many things came to my door.

Therefore, Jiao took the time to discuss the general regulations for future construction with Shan Ziye and Liu Changyou.

The two of them, one specializing in planning and design, and the other with rich construction experience, complemented each other with Jiao Shun's advanced vision. The construction charter, which was originally thought to take several days to complete, was actually completed in the afternoon.

Jiao Shunsui asked Baoyu to invite Jia She, Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen, and Jia Rong to discuss the matter. They had been watching from the sidelines all day yesterday and saw that Jiao Shun was dealing with things in an orderly manner, so they didn't even come today.

He said he was going to invite them, but in fact it was Jiao Shun who took the first draft with him and went to the Rongxi Hall to meet them.

Because he had copied several copies in advance, after everyone gathered together, Jiao distributed them one by one, and waited for them to make a speech after reading them.

This construction charter is divided into two major parts.

The first is the overall construction coordination during the construction of the provincial hospital.

The second is to formulate various job responsibility systems and build a three-level supervision system based on local conditions.

The former is the result of discussions with Shan Ziye, and the latter is the result of communication with Liu Changyou.

Jia She didn't bother to look at it, so he took it and put it on the table beside him, closing his eyes and concentrating on himself. Jia Zheng looked at it very carefully, and even asked people to get the Four Treasures of the Study, sometimes copying and sometimes annotating.

Although Jia Baoyu held it honestly in his hand, his eyes were completely out of focus, and he probably only saw the word "Qin Zhong" in the whole article.

Jia Zhen and Jia Lian's reactions were very different. At first, they both scanned it casually. When they saw a paragraph of text, their expressions suddenly changed, and they frowned and twirled their beards.

He opened his mouth several times but stopped talking, but because Jia Zheng hadn't finished reading yet, he had to swallow the words that came to his lips and swallow them back.

For a long time, until Jia She's snoring became louder, Jia Zheng put the charter on the table and praised: "It's really comprehensive. It's hard for my nephew to plan so carefully in such a short time. It's a pity that it's a little short..."

I wanted to say that he lacked some literary talent, but then I thought about it. Jiao Shun was born as a slave, and Liu Changyou was just a craftsman. It would be weird if he really had any writing skills, so he stopped talking.

Turning to ask Jia Zhen, Jia Lian said: "Brother Zhen, brother Lian, what do you think?"

"this……"

The two of them had been holding back what they wanted to say, but when Jia Zheng praised the comprehensiveness of the charter, they didn't know what to say.

After hesitating for a long time, Jia Zhen said with a smile: "My nephew usually doesn't pay attention to these things, and he can't say whether it's good or bad. But after thinking about it, there is one thing. I'm afraid he didn't consider it carefully enough."

"Um?"

Jia Zhengqi asked: "What's wrong with it?"

"Uncle Rongzhen."

Jia Zhen cleared her throat and said sternly: "This time, the Holy Lord and the Emperor showed mercy and allowed the ladies to go home to visit relatives. Although this is a great kindness, each family has to compare with each other. Although our family does not like to fight over these empty heads.

, but if we let those lower-class concubines get ahead of us, I'm afraid it would be detrimental to the empress's dignity."

As he spoke, he held up the first draft of the charter: "These charters are stable, but we are afraid that if they restrict each other, the construction schedule will be delayed."

"Conflicting each other?"

When Jia Zheng heard these four words, he finally understood what he was referring to. He couldn't help but frown and said, "Are you talking about the three-level supervision system?"

Without waiting for Jia Zhen to reply, Jia Lian said sadly: "Yes, I said I always felt something was wrong, but it turned out that there was a problem here! Although Brother Shun's method is good, the people below are worried about being exposed.

He missed the shortcomings, but tied his hands and delayed the construction period, which made the big sister lose face!"

The two of them kept talking to each other, always talking about "construction time, dignity", but what exactly they were thinking about was difficult to explain clearly.

After hearing what they said, Jia Zheng looked at the charter in his hand. He was a little undecided for a moment and was about to ask Jiao Shun for his opinion to see if he had any way to get the best of both worlds.

Jia She, who didn't want to keep acting like a wooden sculpture, suddenly said: "It's rare for him to come up with some rules in a hurry, but in the end, it's up to you two to come up with the idea - since he's afraid of delaying the construction period,

Just delete it and change it.”

Although the family respected Jia Zheng, Jia She was the eldest brother after all. Since he had already made up his mind first, Jia Zheng could not say anything else.

Especially after the New Year, Jia Zheng will go out on official business. The provincial Qing Courtyard really depends on Jia Zhen and Jia Lian to take charge.

So he ordered Jia Zhen and Jia Lian to work out a compromise method by deleting the complex and simplifying it.

Then he called Jiao Shun outside alone, encouraged him a lot, and said that he would hold a banquet at home in the evening and discuss these regulations with him.

The other side.

Jia She also called Jia Lian to him alone and asked with a sullen face: "Did you tell him about the fan bone thing?!"

Jia Lian had already guessed that it was for this, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "He seems to have been very busy these past two days. Master, you must allow me some time, right?"

"Hmph~"

Jia She tossed his sleeves and sneered: "You're a useless thing. I usually just obey your wife's words, but now I can't even control her slaves. If I were you, I would die of embarrassment!"

Jia Lian felt ashamed and annoyed, but he had no choice but to urge Ping'er to act as soon as possible due to the obstacles between his father and his son.

…………

at the same time.

Wang Xifeng put on a fox fur cloak with large lapels and rushed to Aunt Xue's newly moved yard in a hurry.

She entered the main room with a smile like a silver bell. She immediately felt the heat in her hands and exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Oh my God, it was said that Lixiangyuan was a terrace near the water, but why is it so hot here?!"

Mrs. Wang was asking her sister if she was getting used to the move here. Hearing her exaggerated scream, Leng Buding couldn't help laughing and scolding: "You've been jumping up and down like a monkey all day long. Of course you can't stand the heat. Your aunt and I can't stand it."

I like to be noisy, but I think it would be better if it was warmer."

Aunt Xue also smiled and said: "Thanks to your sister-in-law's knowledge, she heard that I was moving here a few days ago, so she specially ordered someone to install a few more heaters. In terms of cooling and heating, it is almost the same as in Lixiangyuan.

.”

The two of them spoke one after another, and Wang Xifeng also moved closer.

But I saw that the two sisters were actually wearing long black silk skirts with purple tassels. The semi-transparent material was very close to the body. Not to mention Aunt Xue, who still has charm, even Mrs. Wang was wrapped in a three-point beauty.

color.

It was not the first time that Wang Xifeng had seen Aunt Xue's appearance at home, but Mrs. Wang was also like this, so she couldn't help but look at it curiously.

Mrs. Wang felt uncomfortable being looked at by her. She hurriedly pulled the blanket to cover her and explained hurriedly: "I didn't want to wear such a ostentatious thing, but your aunt forced me..."

It's true that Aunt Xue pushed her hard, but this time she gave in half.

Because he persuaded Jia Zheng not to leave the capital last time, Jia Zheng was so angry that he did not pass the past seven or eight days and only spent the night in Aunt Zhao's house.

Although Mrs. Wang didn't show anything on her face, she was really concerned about it in her heart.

Therefore, I put on this silk skirt half-heartedly. I originally thought of using it to win over Jia Zheng, but I didn't want to let Wang Xifeng hit me first.

Wang Xifeng vaguely saw some clues, but did not dare to tease her. Instead, she laughed at Aunt Xue and said: "Auntie Wei and my sister are both beautiful and beautiful, and their relationships are all boring - I will also add some warm movies tomorrow, I just hope that

It would be nice if you are as white and tender as your aunt!"

Everyone laughed.

After a long while, Mrs. Wang asked her again: "Are you completely cured of your illness? Do you want to come over and talk nonsense when you have time?"

"It's much better."

Wang Xifeng took advantage of the situation and looked around, wondering: "Where are the two sisters-in-law? Didn't they say they are all here?"

"Because someone came to report something, they were afraid of disturbing us, so they went to your sister's place in the west wing."

As Mrs. Wang spoke, she hurriedly ordered Jin Chuan'er to invite her.

Not long after, Li Wan and Youshi came hand in hand.

The sisters-in-law exchanged greetings and joked for a while, and then Wang Xifeng explained the purpose of her visit: "I'm feeling better now. I originally wanted to be lazy for a few more days, but Brother Shun was so careless that he actually reported the matter to me.

Here, I am afraid that I will miss the official work of building the yard, so I have to come to my sister-in-law for him to ask for an order."

Li Wan had long expected that Wang Xifeng came with bad intentions, but she knew in her heart that the old lady did not trust her, so she did not expect to be in power for a long time.

Then he smiled freely and said: "I wonder why you have more leisure today. Now that you are well, I have just relieved myself of my burden, so I can relax quickly."

Wang Xifeng couldn't help but said: "To put it this way, it seems like I am here to force the palace to come - no one in the world today would say that my sister-in-law manages things well, not to mention that I have Sister-in-law Zhen to help me."

At this point, she glared at Youshi half-seriously: "When I was in charge of things earlier, why didn't my sister-in-law come over to help?"

Li Wan smiled and said: "Because I can't take care of it, I invited Sister-in-law Zhen to come and help me. I'm afraid it would be more than enough if I replaced you. I'm not being hypocritical. I really want to keep doing this for fear of wasting your nephew's life."

Because of my studies, I have long been eager to return this errand to you."

After saying that, Ming Suyun took the pair of cards, keys and other things, and was about to hand over the errand on the spot.

Although Wang Xifeng got what she wanted, she didn't feel happy in her heart. She subconsciously touched her belly and felt a little unhappy.

Although Li Wan was speaking from his heart and was indeed afraid of delaying his son's studies, when he really handed the cards to Ping'er, he felt a little empty for a moment, as if he had given up something from his heart.

Naturally, I couldn't be happy either.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little dull.

Upon seeing this, Mrs. Wang was about to say something to calm her down, but suddenly she heard a report from outside that Jia Lian had come with Baoyu to congratulate her aunt on her move.

Aunt Xue immediately shouted to come in, but Mrs. Wang hurriedly stopped her and said angrily: "What do you look like here, how can you see them? It's better to let Wenlong take people to the east room, and wait until we change the room."

It’s not too late for Yi Shang to call you again.”

Only then did Aunt Xue come to her senses. She got up in a hurry and ordered someone to find Xue Pan to come forward to entertain the guests.

In the courtyard.

Jia Lian and Baoyu waited for a long time, and after getting drunk, Xue Pan, who was sleeping soundly in the east chamber, came out disheveled.

I saw him tying his placket and saying with a smile: "Second brother and brother Bao, why don't you let people know first so that I can greet you at the door?"

Because he smelled of wine, Baoyu subconsciously covered his nose, but then felt something was wrong and pretended to be wiping his face.

Jia Lian didn't show it, but he refused to follow Xue Pan to the east chamber. He pointed to the main room and said: "In addition to coming to congratulate you on your family's move, I also have something to talk about. You guys go sit in the room first and wait.

I asked her to come out and explain a few words before leaving."

After Xue Pan took Baoyu away, Jia Lian asked the maid guarding the door to go in and deliver the message.

Not long after, Ping'er hurriedly came out.

Jia Lian took her along and took her to the corridor. He turned around and was about to urge her a few words when he saw the exquisite makeup on her face. He couldn't help but wonder: "You don't usually like these things, but why are you wearing it today?"

Ping'er said helplessly: "Isn't this grandma coming here to seize power? She said she needs to dress up and look more energetic."

Having said that, in fact, if she declined, Wang Xifeng might not have to force her to dress up.

As for why he didn't refuse, I'm afraid even Ping'er himself couldn't tell for the time being.

Since he already knew Wang Xifeng's plan, Jia Lian didn't think much about it and said with a smile: "This little girl looks even more prettier when she dresses up. I didn't do well in front of her yesterday. When you finish my errands for me, I will come."

I’ll hurt you so much.”

Saying that, he stepped forward to hug her.

Ping'er hurriedly avoided it and said anxiously: "Be careful who sees you!"

"What are you afraid of?"

Jia Lian leaned on the pillar and said with a smile: "This is not stealing people outside. I care about the people in the house, but who will be in the way?"

If it had been before, Ping'er wouldn't have been attracted to Jia Lian's romantic appearance, but now...

"Bah~"

She spat and said angrily: "If it's not stealing, then let me fall down in front of grandma and say it again!"

"I!"

Jia Lian glared and gritted his teeth and said, "Just wait and see, sooner or later I will smash this jealousy vat!"

As he spoke, he looked around for fear of being overheard.

Seeing him like this, Ping'er felt even more unbearable, and instead took the initiative to urge: "If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly. If you continue to delay like this, she's afraid she will become suspicious again."

Jia Lian then said: "I'm urging you hard. You must persuade Brother Shun to sell that fan bone to me today, otherwise I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to do business here."

"How can I be my boss?"

Ping'er frowned and said, "If you insist on it so much, why don't you find someone else?"

"You little hoof!"

Jia Lian stamped his feet anxiously: "If I can find someone else, why should I send you there? To tell you the truth, I looked for Laiwang at noon, but he was wandering around, saying that his son had been adopted into the Jiao family.

, now I can’t control it anymore—it’s clear that I don’t dare to do anything to his family, but I actually started to pick on Qiao!”

As he said that, he came up with another random idea: "In the evening, you go to the second master's courtyard and wait until Brother Shun has had enough wine, and then take the opportunity to coax him a few words. What else can't be done?"

"this……"

Ping'er looked embarrassed: "It's late at night..."

"Are you still afraid that he will act mischievously in the second master's courtyard?"
Chapter completed!
