Heaven's Martial Fate

Chapter 986
The news that the Rong Mansion wanted to build a provincial hospital quickly spread.

On the side of the Ning Mansion, the news of the 10 taels of silver was also spread.

"Is it too much?"

This is the collective aspiration of the four major families in Jinling and the other bigwigs.

You know, the Ning Mansion has set an example, and the rest of them will basically follow suit.

Not to mention, the Xue family also gave 5 taels as a money bag, and added [-] taels privately, but Mrs. Wang was not very satisfied with that.

This one is also very interesting, pulling Aunt Xue to talk about Xue Baochai's marriage.

They also chatted about Jia Baoyu's recent situation, and the implication was quite clear.

But Aunt Xue is not a stick, if she is still living in Rongfu, she might recognize her by pinching her nose.

Isn't it just money? The Xue family has plenty.

The problem is that the current situation of the Xue family is quite good. Not only is the status of the imperial merchant stable, but Uncle Xue is also in the water transportation system like a fish in water.

It can be said that at this time, the main line of the Xue family has recovered from the shock of the sudden death of the head of the family, and the future is quite bright.

Under such circumstances, no matter how insane Aunt Xue is, it is impossible for her to continue investing money in Mrs. Wang.

I have voted for several 10 taels before, but I didn't even see a splash.

As for Xue Baochai's marriage, although Aunt Xue was interested in Jia Baoyu, she couldn't stop Xue Baochai from thinking about it for the time being.

Besides, what Second Uncle Xue reminded before would cost a lot of money.

Maybe, most of the Xue family's wealth will be invested in it. Naturally, at this time, they can't recklessly give money to them.

Even if you are so entangled, you can give me another 5 taels at most, otherwise Aunt Xue will pretend to be sick.

The Xue family's money was not brought by the wind. If they invested too much in the Rong Mansion, would it cause dissatisfaction among the other families?

The Xue family really couldn't afford such a risk.

For the rest of the families, the Wang family gave 5 taels of silver, and the Shuanghou of the Shi family gave 3 taels, that's all.

Still the same sentence, the four major families in Jinling at this time do not need Yuan Chun, a low-ranking concubine, to add luster to them.

If Yuan Chun had a prince, it would be more or less a big bet.

Right now, it's just a matter of making the Rong Mansion look good, just give some money, don't expect more.

On the other hand, when the old lady of the Lin family spoke up, Jia Min couldn't help but refuse. After contacting Lin Ruhai by letter, she gave 10 taels directly.

None of Rongfu’s relatives’ homes have been built yet, and they have raised 10 taels from Ningfu, 20 taels from Xue’s family, 10 taels from Lin’s family, 5 taels from Wang’s family, and 6 taels from Shijia, for a total of 51 taels.

As far as this amount is concerned, if there is a competent person to preside over it, it is enough to save the construction cost of the other courtyard, and everything should be properly prepared.

But when it was Rongfu's turn, the old lady and Mrs. Wang felt that it was far from enough.

The old lady took out 15 taels, Mrs. Wang took out 10 taels, and the big house also gave 10 taels, plus the money from the rest of the family, a total of 86 taels.

Nima, this is quite a huge sum of money.

If it is used in the development of maritime trade, it is enough to form a large fleet. I have to say that the background of the nobles is really solid.

No wonder today is not good. If one or two of them are copied, the treasury will be enriched.

In the story of the Red Mansion, even when Ning Rong and the Second Mansion were at their worst, the sum of the private houses of the big bosses would not be less than one million taels.

The one who really has no money is Gongzhong, and it is attached to the two governments. How many existences like Shengzi and Leng Zixing have been fattened up?
If you really want to ransack the house thoroughly, you can get out millions of taels, and there is no problem at all.

But even so, the old lady and Mrs. Wang still felt that it was not enough, and asked the Ning Mansion to take out a piece of land in Huifang Garden.

"Let the old lady stop thinking about it!"

Facing Master Xi who came again, Jia Rong said helplessly: "Didn't I say that once the provincial hospital is built, it will be the property of the royal family!"

"Even though the Ning Mansion is not our Jia family's property, my title at this time can be passed down to at least two more generations!"

"If you live for a long time, there should be a hundred years!"

"Think about it, the descendants of the Ning Mansion will live in the mansion for a hundred years, next to the Royal Courtyard, how do you feel?"

Master She thought about it carefully, and his face changed accordingly.

His situation is similar to that of Jia Rong, he is a first-class general.

If it is passed to Lian Er, and Lian Er is passed on to the eldest son, it will be at least five or sixty years later.

After such a long time, there is a royal courtyard next to it, so it's not too awkward to live in.

"Uncle, the Ning Mansion is actually alright!"

Seeing that Mr. She could listen to it, Jia Rong continued to intensify: "After all, the mansion has undergone several rectifications, at least when I am in charge, I don't have to worry about anything happening!"

His words, Grand Master She naturally agreed.

The Ning Mansion's rectification is quite strict. At the beginning, many Ning Mansion families had children, and they all ran to the Rong Mansion to ask the old lady for help.

Of course it didn't work in the end, and the Ning Mansion didn't kill them all.

It's just that unqualified children are sent to Zhuangzi for reform. If they perform well, they have a chance to come back.

Everyone knows that there are many benefits to this.In fact, the boss of Rongfu also wants to learn, but he doesn't have the courage and motivation.

After several rectifications, the mental outlook of the servants of the Ning Mansion has changed a lot, and these Elders of Amnesty are not blind, so they can naturally see it.

"Kerong Mansion, I really can't say it well!"

"In case the Provincial Family Hospital is built, all the things inside will belong to the royal family, there is no doubt about it!"

"With the audacity of the Rong family to give birth to a child, I'm afraid there will be petty theft, and they will directly target the Provincial Family Hospital!"

Hearing this, Grand Master She not only changed his face, but also had cold sweat dripping from his forehead, obviously shocked.

But Jia Rong didn't stop, and continued: "It's fine if the royal family didn't pursue it, but if it is seriously pursued, the crime can be big or small!"

"Let's put it this way, the Provincial Family Hospital is definitely an honor for the Rong Mansion!"

"But to the Ning Mansion, it's a powder keg where accidents may happen at any time!"

"I don't mind if the Rong Mansion is to be repaired, but the Rong Mansion can't drag the Ning Mansion into trouble!"

After some words, Elder She's face turned blue and red alternately, and in the end he left in embarrassment without even finishing a cup of tea.

Returning to Rongqing Hall, Master Xi repeated Jia Rong's words in a fit of anger, and finally said: "Old lady, don't ask me to do such things in the future, I really can't afford to lose this person! "

"Brother Rong really said that?"

The old lady didn't believe it, she opened her mouth to confirm: "Isn't it the excuse you made by the boss, is it that you don't want to see the second brother like this?"

"Ha ha……"

Master She laughed lightly, but said nothing, the indifferent expression on his face already explained everything.

At this time, he had seen it for a while, the reception of Yuan Chun was naturally a great thing for the second room, but for the first room, besides looking good, what practical benefits could it have?

Besides, Dafang directly donated 10 taels of sponsorship to build a courtyard, which is considered quite a big house.

That's 10 million taels!
Even in the core area of ​​the capital where every inch of land is expensive, you can buy a five-entry mansion, and there is still a lot left.

If it is really a garden, how much it will cost depends on how it is done.

After being reminded by Jia Rong, Master She also reacted.

Does it really cost millions of taels of silver to build a provincial hospital?
What the hell, what kind of garden does the old lady and the second daughter-in-law want to build?
But if you let the family in the mansion get their hands on it, I am afraid that it only needs 40 million taels of silver to build a good garden outside. It will cost at least 80 million taels, right?

This matter, I really can't tell!

Of course, such a guess is not easy to say, but the doubts in my heart are getting worse.

"Since Brother Rong is not happy, let's forget it!"

The old lady thought of something, her face was not very good-looking, but she voluntarily gave up the idea of ​​continuing to ask for the land of Huifang Garden.

"Old lady, this can't be done. After all, it's the family home for concubines, how can you be free?"

After Mrs. Wang got the news, she rushed to Rongqing Hall immediately, she was dissatisfied.

"Second daughter-in-law, don't use chicken feathers as arrows!"

Elder She just hadn't left yet, upon hearing this he sneered and said, "You're not one of the four concubines, do you need to be so careful?"

Mrs. Wang's complexion was not good-looking, and she said angrily: "How can I say that concubines visiting relatives are all things to add luster to the mansion!"

"The second daughter-in-law, do you think Ning Rong and Brother Rong need Yuan Chun's help to add luster?"

Master She said coldly: "There are some things I didn't want to say at first, but seeing the second daughter-in-law like you, then I'd better say it!"

This time, even the old lady became interested, not knowing what Elder Xi was going to say.

"Could it be that the old lady and the second daughter-in-law, didn't you carefully consider the process of Yuan Chun's promotion to the imperial concubine?"

Although it was just a guess, the Elder She was firm at this time, as if that was the case: "Yuan Chun has entered the current Fayan, and he is over twenty years old. This matter is easy to investigate!"

"If Yuanchun suddenly received today's invitation, the old lady and the second daughter-in-law wouldn't believe it, would they?"

The old lady and Mrs. Wang didn't say anything, but they already explained everything.

"It's okay to tell you!"

Master Xi said solemnly: "Yuan Chun was originally just a female historian in the empress's palace, but suddenly he was favored by today. It was the time when Brother Rong cooperated with the Ministry of Internal Affairs to develop briquettes!"

"At that time, there was a shortage of money, and the eyeballs of the wicked were green!"

"Brother Rong made honeycomb coal, but it helped the present to solve the urgent need!"

"I guess, it's not good to reward Brother Rong in an open and aboveboard way, so Yuan Chun took advantage of it!"

In a word, it is convincing and convincing.

Even though the old lady and Mrs. Wang were upset, they couldn't say anything to refute.

Thinking about it carefully, it really is such a thing.

The mood of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law suddenly dropped a lot. It turned out that Yuan Chun was able to get the favor of today, that's why.

In the story of the Red Chamber, Yuan Chun's concubine was also very sudden.

Moreover, one is the Xiande concubine, and the concubine's name is quite strange.

It's as if it was done on purpose today.

In fact, the construction of the Grand View Garden after the concubine was appointed in Yuanchun directly hollowed out the foundation of Rongfu, which can be regarded as a blow in disguise.

No one is a fool, it's just that they may not have noticed in the past.

If you pay close attention, as long as you are not blinded by interests, many things can be seen clearly.

Just like what Elder Xi said right now, it has such a deafening idea: "Afterwards, Yuanchun's promotions a few times mirrored what Brother Rong did!"

"The great development of the coal mines in Jin Province, and my brother-in-law's success in establishing a foothold in Jin Province, all of which are supported by Brother Rong's advice and suggestions. The credit is not small!"

"At that time, Yuan Chun was promoted in the palace!"

"Wang Ziteng developed Jinmen Port, and Shi Laosan quietly experimented with drying sea salt. Brother Rong planned all of these!"

"After the results are produced, Yuan Chun will be promoted again!"

Master She spoke more and more smoothly, and said in a firm tone: "At this time, Yuan Chun has already been promoted to the rank of concubine, and has a place in the harem!"

"Later, Wang Ziteng was able to build Jinmen Port, and Brother Rong helped plan the offshore trade!"

"By this time, Brother Rong's title has reached the level of a first-class general, and at the same time he has become the core leader of the founding noble group!"

Speaking of this, he laughed lightly: "Even if it's just for Brother Rong's identity and status, Yuan Chun must be promoted to the concubine now!"

"Otherwise, outsiders would think that there is something wrong with Brother Rong today, and there is something dissatisfied with the Founding Xungui Group!"

Master She shook his head and said, "We are all wrong!"

"Yuan Chun has no one to rely on in the palace, and the only one she can rely on is her natal family outside!"

"If it weren't for Brother Rong's extraordinary ability to lead the Jia clan in the capital to rise rapidly, it would not be so easy for Yuan Chun to follow him!"

"To put it bluntly, unless Yuan Chun is pregnant with a dragon child, if he wants to go one step further and become one of the four concubines, it depends on Brother Rong's performance outside!"

"Only when her natal family is powerful, Yuan Chun can live an easier life in the harem!"

"Otherwise, with so many concubines in the harem, I also know what the old lady and the second sibling are thinking. Do you think Yuan Chun can do it?"

Master She's current performance is completely different from before.

If he had such insights in normal times, he wouldn't be like that bird.

But at this moment, the old lady and Mrs. Wang were shocked, their minds were muddled, and they had no other thoughts at all.

"Instead of messing around here, why not go to the palace and ask Yuan Chun to see what she thinks!"

"The Blind House is going to be built, but we can't offend the Ning Mansion and Brother Rong just because of the Blind House!"

"In the future, what if Brother Rong doesn't take us to play?"

Master She was thinking that if Lian Er wanted to be promoted to a third-rank official, he would need the help of Brother Rong from the Ning Mansion to make suggestions.

He managed to suppress the old lady and Mrs. Wang after such a sudden enlightenment, and he didn't mean to mess around. Instead, according to the reminder of Grand Master She, he really went to the palace to look for Yuanchun and see what Yuanchun thought.

The result naturally exceeded the expectations of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law...
