Chapter 942 I once crossed the mountains and the sea~(1/2)
When I was building a garden, I actually asked Wang Xiao for money. I could really make this statement.
In other words, Wang Xiao had long regarded the Rongning Mansions as his own private land, and he would definitely fall into his hands in the future.
Moreover, the famous Grand View Garden has to be built no matter what. After all, there are so many stories and so many beauties, right?
Now I pay for the money to build the garden, just think it is to build it for myself in advance.
Thinking of this, Wang Xiao smiled slightly, "No problem, I paid for the money for the garden."
Everyone was stunned. No one expected that Wang Xiao would be so happy.
More importantly, this is not a small amount of money.
Jia Mu asked in confusion, "Do you don't know how much money you have to spend? That's a million taels."
Wang Xiao sneered, "What's the point of a million taels? I have the money. However, I can pay, but I have to supervise the work when building the garden."
It is clearly written in the original work. From the master to the servants, everyone from the Jia family reached out to the project, and each of them had enough food and drink.
Although Wang Xiao didn't care about money, he could also let them all vomit when he took over the Rongning Mansion in the future.
But he just couldn't stand the unhappiness of being cheated by this fool.
From Jia Mu, everyone was shocked by Wang Xiao's big deal.
That was a million taels of silver. If you said you could take it out, you would take it out to build a garden for them.
This behavior that seems crazy no matter how you look at it, makes the people of the Jia family lose their voices for a while.
When Jia Mu and the others were fighting for the back house, they were all top experts.
But once you leave the yard, you will be blinded.
They only know that Wang Xiao is famous, rich and capable, that's all.
As for the struggle and tension between the forces in Beijing, there was no feeling at all.
Naturally, I wouldn't understand how attractive a strong man like Wang Xiao is in the eyes of various forces.
The thought of taking advantage of the situation suddenly arose, and one by one must respond impatiently.
But at this time, Jia Zhen walked out directly.
He said righteously, "Brother-in-law, you are eager to be righteous. We are naturally the key to this kind of human kindness. But because of this, how can we take your money for nothing? This matter should be considered as borrowed by my Jia family from you."
From a legal perspective, it is a random shout for him to call his brother-in-law.
Under normal circumstances, only the brothers in the family can shout like this.
However, Jia Zhen received the order to win over Wang Xiao as much as possible in case of reuse in the future.
Compared to those women who are jealous of money, he is still quite eye-catching.
What about Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Xing and Wang? The servants of whom are almost unable to control the power of the vast body.
People say that they will give money in vain, so why do you jump out and show off?
A mouth adds millions of taels of debt to the Jia family. This is what it means.
Jia Zhen would not care what the women were thinking. He stepped forward and bowed, "I have entrusted all the matter of the Jia family to my brother-in-law when they started the garden this time."
He is the patriarch of the Jia family, and he has to occupy the back garden of Ningguo Mansion, so he speaks very well.
Moreover, his statements were reasonable and well-founded, which made Wang Xiao laugh.
"You are so good at talking, I feel a little embarrassed."
Jia Zhen thought it was Wang Xiao who was young and took the initiative to pay to please Jia Yingchun and the others.
But in fact, Wang Xiao just sighed that it would be inconvenient to take action in the future.
"Okay."
Seeing that Mrs. Xing could not wait to stand up, Wang Xiao simply blocked their mouths, "I will leave all the matters about the garden to take charge. You don't have to worry too much about anything, just wait and see."
Wang Xiao directly blocked the words, making those who tried to get the silver from Wang Xiao's hands and had several hands extremely disappointed.
Mrs. Xing, who was extremely greedy for money, still said unwillingly, "You are busy with your business, so let's leave this kind of mundane business to us."
If you open a garden, you can open your mouth and open a million taels. In fact, the cost is 300,000 taels.
Who can give up such a huge income?
Wang Xiao was too lazy to pay attention to her, so he stood up and said goodbye and left with a faint expression.
Afterwards, Jia Zhen and the men also left, while the remaining women were in a panic.
Starting from Mrs. Xing, to the old nannies below, they gritted their teeth and said Jia Zhen's words badly, and they wanted to swallow him alive.
As for the reasons, Jia Mu knew very well, it blocked these people's way of wealth.
Before, Wang Xiao said that he would pay one million taels of silver, so everyone sharpened their knives and waited to slaughter the fat sheep.
But a Jia Zhen came out on the way and cut off the big guy's wealth.
Cutting off one's wealth path is like killing one's parents. When facing a murderer, just cursing one's enemies, these people are already very proud of their face.
"Okay."
Seeing everyone's words becoming more and more intense, Jia Mu waved her hand with a headache, "Things are just like this, I can't control what the men agreed on either. I don't care about this matter, I'll just wait and see the garden."
Naturally, there is nothing to say about Jia Mu's status in the Jia Mansion, but how could she control it alone with hundreds or thousands of people in the Jia family's Rongning Mansions?
Therefore, the key to power lies in personnel.
Jia Mu conveyed her will to the entire mansion through the old nannies.
These people depend on her, and she also depends on them.
So at this time, even Mu Jia could not suppress her too much, so she had to be upset.
Mrs. Wang also left.
The backyard of Jia Mansion is a scheming arena, and the two most powerful players are Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang.
When Mrs. Wang was young, she was naturally suppressed by Mu Jia.
It is not just the traditional disagreement between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but more importantly, Mrs. Wang wants to take charge of the family, which touches Jia Mu's reverse scale.
By taking advantage of Jia Min's incident, she was severely repaired and almost got divorced.
Since then, Mrs. Wang has entered the stage of keeping her low profile.
As time goes by, Jia Mu is getting older, and the most important thing is that her man Jia Daishan is gone.
On the surface, Mrs. Wang didn't care about anything, but secretly moistened the things and grasped power little by little.
When Wang Xifeng got married, she added a good helper and became the butler on the surface.
In the original work, the battle between Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai is actually the driving force behind it, Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang.
The result was naturally that Mrs. Wang won a great victory.
Not only did he kill the only daughter of his enemy Jia Min, he also completely took over the power of the Jia family.
In terms of the struggle between the back house, she is indeed a strong man at the level of a master.
However, no matter how strong it is, it is just the scope of the back house.
When the outside environment changed and the entire Jia family was completely destroyed, everything became a passing cloud.
However, at this time, Mrs. Wang, like Mu Jia, had to choose to avoid the anger of her nanny under her.
They have no way to ask for money, and they do not support such things in terms of etiquette and law.
Of course, Wang Xiao would not pay attention to the storm in the Jia family.
Because Jia Yingchun visited his relatives, he spent the night in the Jia Mansion that night.
I went to see Lin Daimei in the middle of the night, and the two of them said intimate words under the moonlight.
In the second half of the night, Wang Xiao quietly entered Wang Xifeng's room under the pretext of discussing the garden.
After some in-depth and easy-to-understand exchanges, the two reached a consensus on the matter of getting started.
"You are so rich in capital, and I don't know how the delicate Yingchun girl can stand it."
Wang Xifeng wiped the sweat beads from the tip of his nose with a towel, "Are you crazy? You pay for the Jia Mansion to build a garden? One million taels! If you have too much money and have no place to spend it, give it to me."
"Although I don't care about money, I won't give it to others casually."
Wang Xiao climbed the peak hard. "I am willing to pay this money, so I have my own considerations. As for one million taels, you have calculated the cost of reaching out to the Jia family together."
He reluctantly raised three fingers and said, "A maximum of 300,000 taels of silver can solve the problem."
"There is no need to buy land, and the back gardens of Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion can be directly connected. Labor is not expensive, so many servants from the Jia family can work. In other words, the wages of the masters are higher."
"The real place that costs a lot is all kinds of mountains, rocks, flowers, plants and wood. However, there are many of these things in Beijing, so the price is not too outrageous."
Listening to what Wang Xiao said, Wang Xifeng smiled and patted his hands, "The place is indeed enough, but the labor is not as simple as you said. The servants of the Jia family are like old men, so they won't work honestly."
"As for the mountains, rocks, flowers, plants, and wood you mentioned, there are indeed many in Beijing, but those merchants who do this business have very poisonous eyes. They are specialized in staring at the projects of the palace and the nobles of various families. They are so cruel when slaughtering people."
“These are all small things.”
