Jia Yujing of Red Mansion

Chapter 260 Moving into a new home
Jia Lian had lost his temper and knew that Wang Xifeng was looking for him, so he didn't plan to stay any longer.

He said: "She came to me at this time. She thought it was urgent, so I went back first."

Youshi stood up quickly to help Jia Lian get dressed, saying, "Master, go back quickly. Don't keep her waiting."

Jia Lian asked while getting dressed: "How can you use these newly bought maids?"

Youshi smiled and said, "I'm just one person. I don't need so many servants to serve me. It's all in vain for you."

Jia Lian said: "This is not just for you. By the way, why haven't your mother and others taken it over yet?"

Youshi said: "My mother sent a message the day before yesterday, saying that a relative came to the house and I can't leave for a while. It will probably take a while before they can come."

Jia Lian asked: "Do you have any relatives in your family?"

Youshi said: "As you know, my mother remarried. I'm not sure what relatives she has over there. They seem to be her cousins."

Jia Lian said with a half-smile, "Why are you so guarded against me, sister-in-law?

We all know the basics. Can the second and third sisters find someone better than me? "

Youshi said in embarrassment: "I don't know, but the third sister is very ambitious and wants to be the first wife, and she looks down upon most people.

The second sister is kind-hearted, but she went to Osmanthus Alley with me that time and seemed to have taken a liking to Jia Qiong. "

Jia Lian asked in surprise: "Why, Brother Qiong is also interested in Second Sister?"

Youshi said: "I think it seems a bit interesting, but I haven't had the chance to ask him yet."

When Jia Lian heard this, he smiled and said, "If that's the case, then I'll ask for the second sister.

If Brother Qiong is also interested, I will protect this matchmaker for her.

If Brother Qiong has no intention, you can persuade her for me. If she is willing to follow me, I will not treat you badly. "

Youshi asked with some doubt: "Is it true that I am willing to be a matchmaker for my second sister?"

Jia Lian smiled and said: "This kind of thing cannot be forced, it must be your consent.

I help the second sister this time. If it succeeds, it will be regarded as a good deed. If not, the second sister will be grateful to me. "

Youshi said happily: "I am so kind-hearted. I would like to thank you on behalf of my second sister."

Jia Lian smiled and said: "Just wait for my news, I will go find Brother Qiong in the next two days."

Jia Lian left Youshi's courtyard and greeted Xing'er outside the courtyard: "What do you want from me, grandma?"

Xing'er said: "Miss Ping'er only said it was an important matter, but didn't say what it was."

"If grandma asks when you get back, just tell me that she found me in Zuixian Tower."

"Don't worry, I know what to say."

Jia Lian came to Wang Xifeng's house and said as soon as he entered: "Miss Feng, I am discussing something with Niu Cheng. Why are you so anxious to see me?"

Wang Xifeng sniffed and smelled the faint smell of powder on Jia Lian's body.

She snorted and said, "What serious things can you do to these clumsy friends? You must be getting together to drink wine together again."

Jia Lian smiled and said: "This is all just entertainment. I knew you were looking for me, so I came back immediately.

Tell me, what do you want from me? "

Wang Xifeng didn't bother to argue with him, so she told him what Jia Qiong said again.

After hearing this, Jia Lian frowned and thought for a while before saying, "If you can't handle this well, you won't get anything cheap and you'll be in trouble."

Wang Xifeng said displeasedly: "What, you don't want to do it?"

Jia Lian shook his head and said: "That's not true. If those dog slaves are really greedy for so much money, they really need to be rectified.

But if we do it, it’s better to let others do it. Wang Xifeng asked: "What does the second master mean?" "

Jia Lian said: "I'll tell the boss about this and let him come forward. If something goes wrong, it won't be our fault."

Wang Xifeng said unwillingly: "If this is the case, then if all the money copied will not go to the big master, what good will it do to us."

Jia Lian shook his head and said: "Even if we ask for an audit, do you think the elder will not intervene when the house is ransacked?
The best we can do is try our best to make some profit. "

Ping'er also echoed: "It's better to use Second Master's method. Grandma, just listen to Second Master's advice."

Wang Xifeng thought that this was indeed the case, and could only accept her fate and said: "Then let's do what the second master wants. With the first master taking the lead, we don't need to waste words."

Jia Lian then told Jia She about the matter. Jia She was greedy for money. When he heard that several slaves had been greedy for so much money, he immediately couldn't sit still.

He told Jia Lian: "These dog slaves have stolen so much money.

Go outside and find some accountants to check the account for me.

If they are so bold, I will never spare them. "

After Jia Lian received Jia She's order, he went to find Fu Shi, the general judge of Jingzhao Mansion, and asked him to help find some accountants.

There were many scribes in Jingzhao Mansion who were proficient in accounting, so Fu Shi immediately found three people for Jia Lian.

Under Jia She's leadership, a vigorous audit operation began in Rongguo Mansion.

How could the Jia family's accounts stand up to inspection? Many problems were quickly discovered.

When Jia's mother found out, she originally wanted to give him a small punishment or a big warning, but Jia She hadn't seen the money yet, so how could he let it go so easily.

So he secretly sent people to ransack the houses of several housekeepers, and sure enough, a large amount of money was found.

Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang couldn't protect them now even if they wanted to. Except for Lin Zhixiao and Shan Daliang, the other stewards were severely punished, and the whole family was sent to the farm to farm.

At the end of March, when the Rongguo Mansion was undergoing a noisy renovation, the second phase of Qinglongfang was put on sale.

Fifteen luxury homes with twenty acres and ten luxury homes with thirty acres were sold out in just half a day.

The Jia family finally chose the Chengming Garden that Wang Yuyan liked.

The new house has five entrances from the front to the back, with roughly three areas including the front, middle and back, and a five-way courtyard. The building only accounts for one third, and the rest is all landscaped.

Pavilions, pavilions, pools, pavilions, and waterside pavilions are reflected in the pink willows and willows; rockeries, rocks, bonsai flower beds, wisterias, and green bamboos are all embellished.

Although the area is not as large as Ningrong's second mansion, the scenery is much more beautiful than the solemn Guogong's mansion.

On the sixth day of April, it is a good time to move into a new house. Jia Qiong's family officially moved into their new home.

In fact, during this period of time, all the things that need to be moved to the new home in Osmanthus Alley have been moved in advance.

All that needs to be done today is to invite the gods, worship the stove, clean the house, lay the bed and other rituals.

After moving to a new home, everyone's residences had to be redistributed. As the heads and mistresses of the house, Jia Qiong and Wang Yuyan naturally had to occupy the middle courtyard.

A small courtyard on the east side of the central courtyard was used as an inner study by Jia Qiong.

The west courtyard is temporarily vacant and will be used as Xue Baochai's residence in the future.

The East Road Courtyard is Qin Keqing's courtyard, and the West Road Courtyard is reserved for her aunt's family.

Jia Qiong's staff, such as Yun Tao and Wang Guangxiao, all live in relatively independent courtyards.

The house is large and Jia Qiong's family has a small population, so the East Second Road Courtyard and West Second Road Courtyard are still vacant for the time being. They will be arranged later when the population increases.

After moving, it’s natural to hold a housewarming party.

According to etiquette, he is going to invite the princes and ministers who have good relations with him in the court to come to the banquet.
