"Master Hou, a message came in from the front, saying that Second Master Yun was leading a man named Shan Ziye to ask for an audience in the front hall."

After Jia Qiang took a bath, she had breakfast with Qingwen and Xiangling. She was about to go see Qi Yun when she heard Nanny Wu coming to deliver a message.

Jia Qiang was shocked when she heard this. She smiled at Qingwen and Xiangling and said, "The garden drawings are ready!"

Qingwen and Xiangling were also happy. Xiangling smacked her lips and said yearningly: "Huifang Garden is already so beautiful. If it is repaired, wouldn't it become a place where gods live in the sky?"

Qingwen looked at her cute and innocent look and couldn't help but ask Jia Qiang: "Sir, has Xiangling ever met the grandma from Tianxiang Tower?"

Jia Qiang asked strangely: "Why do you ask this?"

Qingwen couldn't help laughing and said, "Let Xiangling learn from that grandma. They look so similar. Look at what that grandma looks like. Look at Xiangling's appearance... Hey!"

Although Xiangling didn't quite understand, she could tell that Qingwen had bad intentions. She wrinkled her nose and said, "Look at you. Miss Lin has a good temper and ignores you a lot. Wait until next year when the princess and grandma Here, when I see a girl like you, I have to let someone spank you! spank your ass!"

When Qingwen heard this, she became furious and stretched out her "devil claws" towards Xiangling...

Jia Qiang ignored the fight between the two girls. Qingwen was always talkative and aggressive, but she was always the one who suffered.

She was pushed to the ground and rubbed by Xiang Ling, and ended up talking as if she had won.

Rubbing Xiang Ling's forehead, and casually patted Qingwen's round buttocks. As Qingwen's blushing face glared, Jia Qiang laughed and stood up, going to the front hall.

I always feel that this is the life a time traveler should have...

…

"Master Marquis, please take a look at what is not to your liking in this picture. I will take it and correct it."

The old man with white beard and hair said respectfully.

Jia Qiang leaned on the tables and looked at the drawings carefully, and said casually: "Let someone pour tea for Ming Gong and watch the seats." After saying that, he paused and turned to ask Jia Yun: "I don't need to say more about this kind of thing. Huh? The master craftsman comes to your door and doesn’t even know how to serve tea?"

Jia Yun chuckled and said: "Now that the family is governed by military law, it is hard for me to make mistakes. I will remember this in the future."

Jia Qiang snorted, waved her hand to Shan Ziye who thanked him, and then leaned on the tables again. While watching, she was corroborating the scenes of the Grand View Garden in her memory one by one.

Yihongyuan, Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Hengwuyuan, Daoxiang Village, Zhujin Pavilion, Hanfang Pavilion, Lotus Root Pavilion, Liaofengxuan, Zilingzhou, Yuyezhu...

The world of Red Mansions without the Grand View Garden would always lack a lot of charm.

Although none of these have been built yet, it is unknown whether they will be called by these names again after they are completed... Of course, he will try to keep the original names as much as possible.

However, there will probably not be another Jia Baoyu living in Yihong Courtyard...

However, after this garden is built, there will always be a lot more fun, and the world in Jia Qiang's heart that has gradually been forgotten will become real again...

"Very good! I'm not really dissatisfied. Even the location of the boiler has been taken into consideration... I'll put more effort into the construction of the garden. I can tell Brother Yun about all the expenses and expenses."

Jia Qiang and Shan Ziye said.

Shan Ziye had heard that Jia Qiang was not easy to talk to, and even had a reputation for being cold, arrogant and cruel. This conversation was a bit scary because she didn't expect that she would be so easy to talk to.

Feeling relieved, the old man smiled slowly at Jia Qiang and said: "My house originally had a Huifang Garden, complete with mountains, rocks, plants, trees, pavilions and pavilions. These can be reused, saving a lot of money. In addition, the house actually has more A living water, such as lotus ponds, fish ponds, rockeries, streams and other wonderful scenery will solve the biggest difficulty. As for archways, verandahs, walking trails, etc., it does not cost too much. The little old man heard that it is necessary to move the earthwork and rocks. You can also find people in the house to do the work yourself, which can save a lot of expenses. Although the rest is not cheap in total, there are two or three hundred thousand taels, which should be enough."

Jia Qiang knew what was going on and said, "Okay, as for the specific construction work, Lao Minggong will be responsible for it."

After being sent out of Shanziye, Jia Yun said to Jia Qiang: "I asked many old craftsmen's clubs that specialize in building gardens and houses. Among the prices offered, Shanziye is not the lowest, but it is not also the highest. I

Using the name of Mr. Hou, I personally went to several gardens that his family had built, and they were all in excellent condition."

Jia Qiang nodded and said: "You are only worried about your work, I can rest assured." Then she asked: "How is fifth aunt?"

Jia Yun hurriedly smiled and said: "Okay, Qianer also asked me if Mr. Hou was busy. If not, he would go home to eat dumplings."

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "Then I'll go tomorrow night. I'll have some free time these two days."

After saying that, he stood up from the table and said with a smile: "Fifth Aunt is also very arrogant. She doesn't want to leave the old house on the back porch of your house. Otherwise, there are many good houses on the back street, so you can live here."

cheaper."

Jia Yun smiled and said: "The old house was owned by my father when he was still alive. My mother doesn't want to move, so that's fine. The neighbors are all familiar with it, so I won't feel comfortable moving."

Jia Qiang agreed and asked again: "Your uncle, is he still pestering your mother all day long?"

Jia Yun's uncle Bu Shiren is considered a "famous" figure in the world of Red Mansions.

Although he only appeared in one scene, his face that only recognized gold and silver but not people was vividly displayed.

A close nephew comes to borrow some money for turnover and some spices on credit. It's fine if he doesn't give it to him. He doesn't even care about a bowl of rice and drives him away in a sarcastic way.

However, when Jia Yun's father died, Bu Shiren took advantage of the situation and took away the two rooms and one acre of land that Jia Yun's family originally owned...

Because of Jia Qiang's important role in this life, Jia Yun's fate has changed early, and she is a hundred times better than most people.

In this way, his uncle Bu Shiren and his aunt naturally had a different look.

Jia Yun heard this and sneered: "I don't need to mention what kind of person he is. My mother knows it herself. Don't worry, Mr. Hou, although my mother is a woman, she is also a sensible person and will never fall in love with her again."

My younger brother is a fool. Besides, Ni Er came to the door and frightened me hard last time. My good uncle has been in peace for many days, and I don’t think he will come back to act like a monster again."

Jia Qiang chuckled and said, "You are lucky. Now you have a mother to care for. Please be filial to your mother."

Jia Yun was immediately moved when she heard this. She looked at Jia Qiang and wanted to comfort her, but she didn't know where to start.

Jia Qiang patted him on the shoulder, rolled up the drawings, and went to Xifu.

…

"Ouch! Say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will be here!"

Not knowing what Sister Feng was going to do, Jia Qiang almost bumped into her as soon as she walked in. However, Sister Feng was overjoyed when she saw him. She took his arm and walked inside, laughing loudly.

Seeing this scene on the soft couch on the high platform, Jia Mu laughed and scolded: "Look at this rogue settlement! You pay attention, brother Qiang's temper will sooner or later defeat you!"

Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang both laughed, and the sisters also made fun of them, but their laughter was a little weird...

After Jia Qiang came in, she wanted to greet Jia Mu and others first, but when she saw Baoyu beside her, she couldn't help laughing.

The bumps on his face were green, red, purple, and black, as if they had been hit by a dye vat...

Seeing him laughing loudly, the sisters, who had endured it for a long time, finally no longer had to endure it so hard and started laughing together.

Even Sister Feng next to Jia Qiang was laughing so hard.

Baoyu was originally angry when Jia Qiang laughed at her, but when she saw her sisters laughing like this, she could only laugh angrily and said: "Come on, you go ahead and make fun of them."

Mother Jia felt distressed. She looked at Jia Qiang and scolded: "Don't laugh, don't laugh! Baoyu is so injured that I can't help but feel distressed. What's so funny!"

Jia Qiang smiled again for a moment, then said to Baoyu: "I'll find you a martial arts master later, practice hard, and rush to the Taiping Guild Arena tomorrow to fight back for revenge."

Baoyu twitched the corner of his mouth and wanted to curse you, but because he was in front of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, he didn't curse.

But Jia Mu hurriedly said: "No, no, Baoyu is so delicate, how can he withstand the abuse of those people?"

Just as Jia Qiang calmed down, she laughed again after hearing this.

It wasn't until Baoyu was so laughed that he couldn't lift his head and got off the soft couch on the high platform to fight him. Jia Qiang finally stopped. After pushing him away with a clever move, he raised the drawing in his hand and said: "The drawing of the garden is ready." , send it to the old lady to see."

Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and others, who were not happy to see Jia Qiang push Baoyu away, heard this and immediately stopped caring about Baoyu and said over and over again: "Come and take a look!"

Jia Qiang handed the drawing to Sister Feng, who had just laughed with tears in her eyes, asked her to send it up, and then found a chair to sit down.

But before he could sit down, Jia Mu waved and said, "If you don't come and tell us, what will we see if we are blind?"

Jia Qiang asked in astonishment: "Is the old lady illiterate?"

Jia Mu laughed angrily and said, "Is this the same as the book?"

Jia Qiang had no choice but to step forward and point on the drawings one by one, explaining where the mountains were, where the water was, where the bridges were, and where the building attics were...

The more he talked about it, the more Jia Mu and others liked it.

Jia Mu suddenly smiled at Aunt Xue and said, "This has the flavor of a garden in the south of the Yangtze River, with mountains and rivers, even rockeries and waterfalls."

Aunt Xue saw Jia Mu's liking and flattered her: "After all, the family is rich and noble. Apart from other things, how many families in the capital can bring in living water? Apart from the few royal palaces, how many other families are there?"

Jia's mother glanced sideways at Jia Qiang, who raised her eyebrows, and spat: "Bah! You are so proud! When they moved from Jinling to Shenjing City, the Jia family occupied this place. The Rong Mansion was originally to the east. After occupying the living water, Ning's Mansion is in the west. Later, the Duke of Guo said that after all, Ning's Mansion is the eldest house, so this living water should be given to Ning's Mansion, and then it becomes yours. Every time the Duke of Guo goes to war, Those who come back and capture the reward must also be given a large share to the Dongfu, or a large share. Otherwise, depending on the behavior of the elders, the inner bag will be exhausted long ago!"

Listening to Jia's mother getting more and more angry as she talked, Jia Qiang laughed and said: "My predecessor has confiscated so many rebellious slaves of the Jia family and recovered so many gold, silver, houses and land, should they be offset? This shows that the old master is still You are wise, you have known the best thing to do early on, and now our Dongfu has become the great savior of the West."

Jia Mu was too lazy to talk to this naughty grandson. She was tired, so she asked seriously: "Do you have a leader for the matter my concubine has entrusted to you?"

Jia Qiang was startled when she heard this, and looked at Aunt Xue. Seeing her hopeful eyes, she remembered something, hesitated and said, "Auntie, are you going to visit Yin's house? Or should you take Sister Xue with you?"

Aunt Xue smiled hurriedly and said, "It would be nice to go meet the princess together."

Jia Qiang turned her face to the side and glanced at Baochai, who was hanging her head lightly. The smile on her face gradually disappeared. After sighing softly, she said: "Since my concubine wants to go over for a visit, I will ask someone to make arrangements to meet her in the afternoon." stop."
