"My dear brother, you have thought clearly, and since the Lai family has been the son of my Jia family for generations, it makes sense to tell others that they were responsible for building the garden for my family."

After saying that, he bowed his hand to Shi Zhongkui and said, "I will go back and report to the old lady, the master and the eldest master."

Shi Zhongkui didn't stop him, thinking that when you find out that Lai's garden is only a little worse than the Grand View Garden, it can no longer be described as arrogant.

Also, when the Lai family took advantage of such a huge amount of wealth from the Jia family, I wonder if they would be furious.

When Jia Lian returned to Rongguo Mansion and entered the Hall of Rongxi, he saw not only Jia Zheng, Jia She, Jia Zhen, Jia Rong and his son sitting in the main hall, they also looked at Lai Er who was kneeling on the ground shivering with gloomy expressions.

Seeing Jia Lian come in, Jia Zheng asked with a gloomy face, "What did Bo Qian say?"

Jia Lian hurriedly repeated Shi Zhongkui's words, and Jia She, Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen's eyes lit up.

If the new garden was built by the Jia family themselves, according to the specifications of the Duke's Mansion, there is really no need to worry about violating the regulations.

After all, no matter how domineering Lai Da and Lai Er were, they only dared to build according to the specifications of Grand View Garden and Ning Rong Mansion.

Even if the two were bold enough, the craftsmen would not dare to build it like the palace.

Moreover, the Lai family is said to have violated the rules only because their family has been slaves for generations.

In the past, for the sake of the Ning and Rong mansions, the four kings, and the eight princes, everyone would not and had no need to trouble the Lai family.

After all, if you arrest a domestic slave to make a fuss, you will not only be unable to kill the Jia family, but you will also become enemies with them.

Moreover, in the eyes of many people, the two houses of Ning and Rong were still the same prominent noble family because of Yuanchun's appointment as concubine, and it was too late to win over them.

Even in the Jia family's own opinion, their own power is greater than before, let alone outsiders.

After hearing Jia Lian's words, Lai Er felt extremely heartbroken, but he also knew that this idea was definitely the best way at this time.

He knelt on the ground and shouted, "That garden was built for the Lord to play in."

Jia She and Jia Zhen's eyes suddenly showed greedy looks, but Jia Rong on the side reminded, "Master, eldest master, father, it's okay to say this to others.

But Xiu Yiwei is His Majesty's servant, so he might have already reported this matter to Your Majesty at this time.

No matter how reasonable the reasons we give are, if the Holy One is preconceived and does not believe it, even if it is for the sake of the empress and uncle in the palace, he will not care about it anymore.

I can't help but feel dissatisfied with my Jia family.

Moreover, while my family is building a garden to welcome my mother-in-law when she comes home to visit her relatives, I am also building a smaller garden. Outsiders may not believe it after hearing this.

Not to mention that if my family built two gardens at the same time, the financial resources consumed would be astronomical in the eyes of outsiders.

Something big happened at home a few days ago, which is not a good thing for our Jia family."

Jia She, Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen immediately thought of the principle of not exposing their wealth.

And from a normal perspective, no one would foolishly spend their money to build a garden.

In other words, the Jia family's financial resources are so large that they can build two gardens at the same time, and there is still some money left in the warehouse.

It was impossible for everyone in the court not to keep an eye on the Jia family.

In the future, those big eunuchs will not only come to visit Qiufeng several times more frequently, but their appetite will also increase several times.

In the past, the Ning and Rong mansions had to spend thousands of taels of money every year to get rid of these eunuchs.

If it turns into ten thousand or twenty thousand every year, then the Jia family will have to spend all the money collected from the land and the store on this.

If there is a deficit every year, the Jia family will be completely wiped out in less than three to five years.

Also, because of Shi Zhongkui's constant misleading, the Jia family had long believed that Ma Daopo was greedy because she saw the Jia family building a garden, which led to the previous disasters.

Jia Zheng was anxiously circling around, saying anxiously, "What should I do?"

Jia She sighed and said, "It doesn't matter if you accept it, it doesn't matter if you don't accept it. In this case, just give it away."

Jia Zheng and others were stunned for a moment, then Jia She continued, "Didn't Shi Guangzhu from the Imperial Palace complain about Bo Qian's house being too small when he was at Bo Qian's house in the morning?

Let’s just say that Boqian saw my family building a new garden, so he asked my family to help him build a new house.

As he was the leader of the Sixth Yuan Dynasty and a bachelor's degree student of the fifth-grade Hanlin Academy, the standard of his residence was a bit worse than that of a duke.

But no one lives in that garden, so there is no problem in ordering someone to change it now.

Moreover, my son-in-law is very rich, and there is no problem in asking him for one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand silver."

Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen's eyes lit up and they looked at the frowning Jia Lian and Jia Rong.

Seeing that the two of them were not talking, Jia Zhen's anger suddenly emerged.

Just as he was about to scold and beat Jia Rong, he suddenly thought that Rong'er was favored by Shi Zhongkui, and if he really hurt him, Shi Zhongkui might be unhappy.

But as soon as this thought came out, the anger in my heart became even greater.

It is natural for me to beat my son. Why should Shi Zhongkui, an outsider, take care of the family affairs of Ningguo Mansion?

Just as his eyes were burning, Jia Lian said, "Bo Qian is a cautious man. He shouldn't get into trouble just for the sake of a garden."

After speaking, he looked at his biological father Jia She and said, "The elder said he has no shortage of money, so why did he have to buy a house that he did not build himself?

Moreover, if two hundred thousand taels of silver were put aside for a year and a half, a decent new mansion could be built.

You can even spend double the price to buy the house next door and renovate it. It only costs 50,000 or 100,000 taels of silver.

It doesn’t take so much trouble to move, and the time is short. With Boqian’s character that is afraid of trouble, he will definitely not care about this matter.”

Jia She was immediately speechless.

No one's money is blown by the strong wind. It can save tens of thousands or even one hundred thousand taels, and the effect is basically the same. Any fool knows how to choose.

Jia Zhen, who was in a rage, said without thinking, "Did you give it to him for nothing?"

"Alas," Jia Lian sighed, "Brother Zhen, he gave it away for free, and he doesn't even want it. Not to mention that after taking this house, Bo Qian has to help the Lai family rescue Lai Da and Lai Shangrong.

The kid Shang Rong was fine, but Lai Da was arrested because of his disrespect, and it was Bo Qian himself who ordered his arrest.

How can Boqian be willing to slap himself in the face and interfere in such troublesome matters?"

Jia Zhen was stunned. This was a garden worth one or two hundred thousand taels of silver. Who would be willing to let it go?

When I think about it, Shi Zhongkui not only ranked first in the imperial examination, but also practiced Taoism for more than ten years, so he was no worse than those heavenly masters.

How could such a distinguished person do stupid things just for some money?

"Alas," Jia Zheng sighed, "Lian'er, go and ask Bo Qian to come over and listen to what he means first."

Jia Lian hurriedly agreed, but after taking a few steps, Jia She suddenly said, "I'm confused."

After speaking, he looked at Jia Zheng and said, "Second brother, it is my family who is begging him at this time, and my good son-in-law has just helped my family solve so many troubles, how can I still have the face to let him pass.

If Boqian thinks my family is troublesome and alienates us, and if anything happens in the future, will he go find that ungrateful guy like Wang Ziteng?"

It was okay not to mention Wang Ziteng, but when he mentioned him, it was Jia Zheng, and Jia Lian felt resentful in his heart.

Jia Zhen gritted her teeth, "If Ning and Rong had not helped him, how could he have been able to take the position of Jiedushi of the Beijing Camp?

Now something happened to my family, and he didn't even send someone to ask.

If I want to ask him for help, I might as well just wait for the whole family to be confiscated."

Jia She, Jia Zheng, Jia Lian and Jia Rong's expressions changed greatly, but after thinking about it carefully, they felt that Jia Zhen's words were correct.

And Laiji was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and trembled all over.

One bad thing is that the whole family was given the black land in the north.

But if he escapes, even if he escapes from the capital, his whole family will be runaway slaves for the rest of his life.

Not to mention making a comeback, being able to live a stable life is all thanks to God's blessing.

Moreover, the eldest brother and nephew who were arrested will definitely die without a burial place.

So even if Jia Zheng and others left Rongxi Hall in a hurry, Lai Er didn't have the courage to escape.

After thinking about it, I could only go to Jia Mu. While begging Jia Mu, I also hoped that Jia Mu would give me some advice for the sake of the master-servant relationship in the past years.

As for Jia Zheng and others' worries about having another health problem due to Jia's mother's worries.

There is also the worry that if Aunt Lai becomes extremely angry again and dies in the Jia family.

Laiji, who was preoccupied with saving himself and confused in his mind, couldn't think of anything like this.

When Shi Zhongkui was receiving Jia Zheng, Jia She and others in the main hall of his house, he was pretending to think of a solution.

I heard the sound of hurried footsteps reaching my ears from far to near.

Soon, Yu Shun appeared outside the main hall with Lin Zhixiao, who had an anxious and uneasy expression on his face.

As soon as he saw Jia Zheng and others, Lin Zhixiao fell to his knees with a thud from a distance.

He cried and said, "Master, master, something big has happened."

I don’t know what Lai Er said to Grandma Lai, but Grandma Lai became so angry that she couldn’t hold on and passed away on the spot without a stick of incense.

After hearing the news, the old lady was so sad that she suddenly fainted.

The younger one was ordered by Mistress Lian to block the news, but the inner courtyard of the house is already in chaos."

"What?"

Jia Zheng and Jia She stood up fiercely. They didn't bother to be polite to Shi Zhongkui. They didn't even ask Lin Zhixiao a word and ran out.
