Rebirth of Wufu Jin

Chapter 173 Expansion

Chapter 173 Expansion
The emperor bestowed all the princes, which made the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry very busy.

The people in the Ministry of Rites are busy preparing the canonization ceremony for the princes who can be canonized, while the Ministry of Industry is busy arranging the expansion of the residence for the princes who have been promoted, especially those princes who have been promoted from Baylor to princes.

Now that Yinqi has become Prince Heng, the palace will naturally be expanded, but the Ministry of Industry arranges them one by one according to the order of the princes, and Yinqi's position happens to be in the middle.

The Ministry of Industry had to expand the mansions of Prince Chengjun and Prince Lian before it was Yinqi's turn to Prince Heng's mansion.

As soon as she knew that the mansion was going to be expanded, Wanyue and the sisters in the backyard got busy, making suggestions one after another.

Suxin wants to build a small pond in the expanded area, and raise fish or something in it.

Ma Gege hoped to build one more dining room, so that she would not have to compete with the kitchen masters in the house for the stove.

Qian Gege had no objection, except that she came to Wanyue's place on time to say hello, she hardly interacted with people in the house.

Wanyue just wished for a few more places to enjoy the cool air. The capital is extremely hot in summer, and except for the pavilion in the garden, which is relatively cool, the other pavilions in the mansion are not sheltered from the shade.

Yinqi doesn't plan to take care of the expansion of the palace. The things Huang Ama entrusted to him are enough to keep him busy. If he takes care of the expansion of the mansion, he is afraid that both of them will be too busy, so he has no choice but to deal with the expansion. Hand it over to Wanyue.

Wanyue thought that the expanded palace in her previous life was not bad, the backyard and front yard were separated, so you can refer to one or two.

There is still an open space in the west, but the people from the Ministry of Industry can measure it first and then take a look. They also need to arrange the residence of several children in the mansion, and the residence of the servants who take care of the children also needs to be arranged.

Looking at Wanyue who was busy with the expansion, Wang Momo thought about it and reminded: "Miss, I think you have been studying the expansion for several days, you should rest. It won't be too late to make a decision after the adults from the Ministry of Industry come to the mansion to take measurements."

Wanyue raised her head and blinked at Nanny Wang, and said with a smile: "This mansion has been lived in for decades, and children and grandchildren may still be here in the future, so we must be satisfied."

Wang Momo smiled and shook her head, Wanyue kept writing on the paper what needed to be expanded, and muttered: "I don't know how much money Huang Ama will allocate for this expansion, if it is not enough, I have to do it myself fill it up!"

"It shouldn't be, won't the Ministry of Industry be solely responsible for the money for the expansion and repair?" Wang Momo asked curiously.

"The money is managed by the Ministry of Households. Although the Ministry of Industry is responsible for repairs, the money has to be asked for by the Ministry of Households. This round of circles is troublesome and time-consuming. In addition, the money in the treasury may not be sufficient. Let the princes fill it up by themselves." It can't be more normal." Wanyue said it very calmly, but Wang Momo looked at her in astonishment, as if the young lady knew these things very well.

But if it is really the palace that fills up the money, the lady will not pay it out of her own pocket at that time, right?

With this idea in her mind, Wang Momo couldn't help saying: "Then if our Prince Heng's mansion is short of money during the expansion, miss, you won't make up for it yourself?"

When Wanyue heard this, her eyeballs almost fell to the ground, she hurriedly raised her head to look at the doubtful Wang Momo, and said solemnly: "Why, I won't use my own money to make up for it. Let the cashier fill up the money directly, and all my money is reserved for Hongyuan and Sifeng."

When Wang Momo heard this, she felt relieved.

About half a month later, when Wanyue was resting at noon, Yudan knocked on the door outside, "Master, some officials from the Ministry of Industry have arrived and said they want to measure the open space to the west. The prince hasn't come back yet. The officials of the Ministry said that they need to find a master to watch over, so the housekeeper Yan asked someone to come over to see the master."

Wanyue heard the sound, got up quickly, and shouted to Yudan outside the house: "You come in first."

Yudan pushed the door and entered, Wanyue had already put on her coat, and while she was fastening her coat, she sat in front of the vanity mirror and said to Yudan: "You send someone to the dining room to prepare some melon and fruit refreshments for the adults in the Ministry of Industry. , we can’t neglect them. Let someone tell the dining room to prepare some food and drink and send them to the main hall in the front yard.”

"Yes, Madam Li has been prepared just now." Yu Dan replied with her head down, and then picked up the jade comb on the dressing table to smooth Wanyue's temple hair.

When the two arrived at the open space to the west, the surveying officials from the Ministry of Industry had almost finished surveying.

After seeing Wanyue, the three officials who measured hurriedly bowed and saluted, "I have seen Wufujin, Wufujin is auspicious!"

The tone of the adults was quite serious, and Wanyue didn't intend to let them talk about these empty etiquette at this time, so she could only reply with a smile: "You don't need to be too polite, and the expansion of Prince Heng's Mansion will bother the three adults. After surveying this open space in a while, please be sure to come and sit in the mansion for a while, and let us entertain the three adults as the landlord."

After hearing this, the three officials looked at each other for a moment, then got up a little embarrassed and said: "Then respect is worse than obedience, thank you Prince Heng and Fujin."

After speaking, they continued to measure.

It was also the first time Yudan saw officials coming to the mansion to measure the open space, and she was curious for a moment, standing behind Wanyue and asked in a low voice: "Master, why are they measuring the open space?"

"After they measure, the officials of the Ministry of Industry will draw a rough picture of the house based on their measurement results, and then we will ask them to adjust according to the drawings they drew." Wanyue replied very calmly, now sincerely The Prince of the County and Prince Lian are ahead of them. When it is really the turn of Prince Heng's mansion to expand, I am afraid that they will have to wait until next year.

Yudan seemed to understand, she thought of the crowded thatched cottage in her home, where six people could sleep in one room, her parents, and three younger siblings, so she had no choice but to come here to work as a maid.

For a while, Yudan felt that it was better to have money and power, and she could not count on power in this life, but she had already saved a lot of money with Wu Fujin, and she could let her parents expand the house, Yudan couldn't help smiling .

After the surveying officials finished their work, Steward Yan took them to the main hall of the front yard, and Yin Qi also came back from his work, just in time to bump into the three adults.

When they saw Yinqi, they all knelt down and saluted, "Slaves join Prince Heng, good luck to Prince Heng!"

Yinqi glanced at Wanyue in confusion, not knowing who these officials were and why they were kneeling here.

Wan Yue hurriedly raised her head and explained to Yin Qi: "These three adults were sent by the Ministry of Industry to measure the open space to the west."

When Yinqi heard this, he immediately understood, but it was probably next year when it was his turn to expand the palace. He was a little surprised to come to measure so early.

Then he replied in a deep voice: "Three adults please get up quickly."

"My lord, I asked someone to prepare food and wine for the three adults in the main hall. Would you like to have dinner with the three adults?" Wanyue winked at Yinqi, and Yinqi was stunned for a while before she understood Wanyue the meaning of.

"Well, the three adults are welcome!" After recovering from his senses, Yin Qi raised his hand and said to the three adults.

It was the first time for the three adults to come to Prince Heng's mansion, but their official positions were not very high, but they did not expect to receive such kindness, and they admired Yinqi and Wanyue very much in their hearts.

As soon as the three of them returned to the Ministry of Industry, they told their colleagues about the matter in Prince Heng's residence, which made the officials who went to Prince Cheng and Prince Lian's residences jealous of them.
