Both Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen were shocked and hurriedly asked: "You are serious about what you said. Our mother-in-law, really..."
Jia Lian shook his head: "This is just a guess. Even if I guess wrong, we can build a better garden and it will always be right.
If you guess correctly, it will be settled once and for all.”
After saying that, Jia Lian turned around and glanced around the people around him, including the housekeeper, Jia Zheng's Qing Ke and others, and said coldly: "Just listen to what you said just now. If you dare to spread it and cause trouble, don't do it."
It’s my fault for being rude to you.”
Jia Lian's instructions were just to avoid some taboos, and he was not afraid that they would actually spread.
After all, it is not a heinous crime to wish your eldest sister to reach a higher level.
Lai Da and others quickly put away their shock and bowed to accept it.
Jia Zheng took a deep breath and said, "In that case, just do as Lian'er said. Please pay more attention to me. Don't think about saving money for us. It's more important to build the best garden."
Although Jia Lian said it was just speculation, based on past experience, most of what this guy said will come true in the end.
Maybe he heard something from somewhere, so he specially reminded them.
After so many major events, anyone who continues to turn a deaf ear to Jia Lian's words would be really stupid.
Then Jia Zheng couldn't help but feel excited.
Nowadays, father is more important than daughter. Wherever I go, others will respectfully call me "Political Elder".
If his daughter is promoted to a noble concubine in the future, wouldn't his status rise even more?
I have never felt that the word "governor" is so close to me.
So there is no need to say that you are trying to sell the iron by selling the pot, but you must also handle the matter of saving relatives in a smooth manner.
It makes no sense that his daughter is so powerful and his father is still holding her back!
Jia Zhen smacked her lips, finally unable to say anything more.
If Yuanchun really becomes a noble concubine, then the Jia family will be honored. I am afraid that as the eldest member of the family, I will be suppressed under the Rongguo Mansion and will never be able to stand up.
Jia Lian once again stabilized the general policy, and the subsequent details were discussed step by step.
Shan Ziye is responsible for technical guidance, and Jia Zheng is the general manager.
Jia Zhen and Jia Lian arranged and dispatched Lai Da and Lin Zhixiao to help the three chief stewards. In addition, Jia Zheng's most valued Qingke, plus other stewards and deacons, were responsible for specific projects.
people.
After final discussion, the road will be blocked, a high barrier will be built, and the ground will be officially broken from the day after tomorrow.
There is no need to go into details about other trivial matters. Only Jia Zhen's proposal to let his good nephew Jia Qiang take people to Suzhou to purchase actors, hire teachers, and buy musical instruments and outfits attracted Jia Lian's attention.
Although Jia Zhenming said that she wanted juniors like Jia Qiang to go out to practice, Jia Lian saw through it at a glance. This was Jia Zhen's deliberate attempt to give Jia Qiang and others a chance to make money.
Going down to Suzhou to do things, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Only God knows how much it cost.
As for why Jia Qiang was asked to take the lead, it was probably because the chrysanthemums were blooming well and she was doing it to compensate.
In addition to being a little averse to the cold, Jia Lian had no intention of objecting to this.
Because he remembered that in the original work, the twelve little actors who were so domineering and naughty in the Grand View Garden and added a lot of color to the Grand View Garden, that is, the Twelve Officials, were bought by Jia Qiang and others from Gusu.
This time when Jia Qiang goes down, it would be good if he could buy back the twelve officials like in the original work.
If you can't, forget it. After all, he's not a particularly important person.
…
After discussing for half an afternoon, everyone dispersed.
Jia Lian saw that it was still early, so he set off to the newly opened school field of Dongkuaoyuan.
Zhang Yong and others are training recruit No. 20 Danzi.
Gu San
Jia Lian now has a total of twenty-seven guards, including the five Zhang Yong who were first selected, as well as the twenty newly recruited Jia family servants after the emperor appointed him an official, as well as Aqi Aqin.
More than half of these twenty servants were ancestors who had fought with the old Duke in battle.
The remaining ones are all strong and strong.
Jia Lian has led more than a thousand men in battle formations, so he naturally knows the importance of personal soldiers marching outside.
Thousands of troops are more often than not like a piece of scattered sand, and they can only fight on their own. Only the soldiers around them are like an arm in command, and they are also responsible for guarding their own safety.
Therefore, five is definitely not enough. Jia Lian has already ordered Zhang Yong and others to strictly train these twenty people and eliminate the fittest.
Those who can't stand the hardship will be laid off and replaced.
Now, in just a few months, it has begun to show results. I just wait to take them to the battlefield to soak in blood, and they will be able to complete their transformation.
"Second Master!!"
These personal guards, who have been trained for several months, even their saluting voices are different from other servants of the Jia family, with a roaring spirit.
Jia Lian took off his official uniform and threw it on the shelf next to him. Then he walked to the middle with his shirt off, pointed at a strong young man of sixteen or seventeen years old, and said with hooks: "Come over here and practice with me. Knock down."
My monthly income will be doubled this month!”
When Jia Lian said this, the boy jumped out as if he had been rewarded.
This was not the first time that Jia Lian randomly selected people to spar with him. In the beginning, they naturally did not dare to fight with Jia Lian.
But later it was discovered that as long as they kept their hands, Jia Lian would beat them to death. The longer they kept their hands, the harder they would be beaten.
It was only later that they saw Feng Fei and others fighting against Jia Lian and realized that they really dared to do something.
The second master not only wants to train them, but also needs to train himself.
Moreover, the second master keeps his word, and if he wins the second master, the second master will not be angry, but he will also get extra rewards.
Although except for Zhang Yong and a few others, most of them knew that they were no match for Jia Lian.
However, being able to spar with the second master is an honor in itself, not to mention that if you win, you can also get a silver reward!
Therefore, being selected by Jia Lian is naturally something worth being excited about.
…
Rongguo Mansion, behind Mrs. Wang's courtyard, the residence of Li Wan's mother and son.
After Li Wan came home from school in Jialan, he would personally teach him lessons for half an hour under the window.
This half hour was also the most painful time for Jia Lan, because he did not dare to be distracted at all.
But there is no way for a child to make mistakes when learning. At this time, Jialan accidentally dropped the ink on the previous text. His heart trembled. He was about to accept his mother's scolding. When he quietly raised his head, he found that his mother did not look at it.
Instead, he stared out the window and seemed a little distracted.
Jia Lan was curious, so he also looked out the window, but didn't see anything. It wasn't until he stretched his neck that he saw a figure walking away through the water-like hollow wall.
"what you do?"
His mother's sudden voice made Jia Lan immediately turn around and sit up straight. He raised his head and glanced at his mother's stern brow. The smart kid immediately decided to divert his attention.
"Mom, was that Uncle Lian who passed by just now?"
Li Wan was stunned when he heard this, but still nodded.
"It's only the beginning of March, and I'm still wearing two long gowns. Why is Uncle Lian wearing so little? Isn't he cold?"
Jia Lan just wanted his mother to forget about his distracting things. Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, his mother felt uncomfortable as if she had been bitten by a snake. She immediately raised her eyes and cursed: "Your second uncle Lian is
People who practice martial arts are naturally different from you.
Why do you care so much? If you don’t concentrate on your homework, I’ll cancel your time to go out and play after dinner!”
Jia Lan no longer dared to be clever, so he lowered his head and wrote seriously.
