Spoilers for The Red Mansion, Daiyu’s mentality is broken

Chapter 354 Moving into Grand View Garden
Qingwen wants to be strong throughout her life and never obey others.

But when it comes to writing poetry, it really doesn’t come just by wanting it.

It's like a person can do anything if he's pressed, but if he's really given a math problem, he'll have to figure it out.

It's not that Qingwen herself has never written poetry in private, nor has she ever competed with Xiangling.

It's just that the poems she wrote are beyond my comprehension.As for the poem written by Xiangling, both Miss Lin and Third Master agreed.

Although she didn't see how good it was, at least it was better than her.

The gap between their poetry is greater than the gap between their needlework.

Jia Huan couldn't help laughing when he saw Qingwen's rare resignation.

Qingwen snorted several times angrily, rolled her eyes at Jia Huan several times, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

That night, Lin Zhixiao came again to report on the publicity situation during the day.

Today, I received another 18 taels of silver.

There are also people coming to place orders. In two days, there have been orders for more than 700 vehicles.

Jia Huan is quite satisfied with this number.

Jia Huan's cost price for the gentry houses in Ping'an County was 200 taels of silver for the deluxe version and 40 taels for the ordinary version.

Of course, the actual cost price is very low, just like car window glass. The cost price of two pieces of glass is at most two taels of silver, and no more.

This is because it has just been produced, the technology is not fully formed, and there is no mass production.

As long as the technology becomes more mature in the future and production increases, this cost will fall significantly.

The cost of the entire carriage is about 20 taels of silver.

The cost of an ordinary carriage is about 15 taels.Well, in fact, the cost price of the ordinary carriage is not much worse than the luxury version.The main problem lies in the glass windows.

And even based on the explicit cost price given by Jia Huan, this is definitely a hugely profitable industry.

The cost price of a luxury four-wheeled carriage is 200 taels of silver, the selling price is 500 taels, and the gross profit of a car is 300 taels.

Now we have received orders for more than 700 vehicles in just two days, with a gross profit of 21 taels!

The four-wheeled carriage is currently a monopoly market, and the profits are so huge that they cannot fail to calculate it.

Jia Huan believed that after he returned and let the gentry know the number of orders he had placed in the past few days, they would definitely have a choice in mind.

After all, those gentlemen are not stupid.

Therefore, Jia Huan is quite satisfied with the number of orders obtained in the past two days.

Jia Huan praised Lin Zhixiao and then ordered: "Steward Lin, find some more young ladies tomorrow and go to Xifu to help the girls move into the Grand View Garden. Make those young ladies obey the rules and don't do anything." Talked back to the girls.”

Lin Zhixiao quickly said that he was retreating.

There was no talking all night. On the second day, after breakfast, Jia Huan took Lin Zhixiao, his wife and a large group of people to Xifu.

I went to Lin Daiyu's yard first, preparing to help Sister Lin move first.

Outside the gate of Lin Daiyu's yard, two carriages had been parked, and women were carrying things to the carriages.

After arriving at Lin Daiyu's yard, Jia Huan discovered that Wang Xifeng had arrived before him and was directing the women to move things out.

"You all should be careful. These are Miss Lin's things. If you bump into them, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"These are all delicate items, but they don't need to pass through the hands of those boys. You have to carry them personally and send them to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion."

"After all these things have been moved, let the boys come in to move other cumbersome things." "As long as you do a good job, Miss Lin will certainly be generous with rewards..."

When Wang Xifeng said this, she turned around and spotted Jia Huan.

She couldn't help laughing and said: "Brother Kuihuan, you even promised to move Miss Lin and the others today, but you haven't arrived yet."

"If I really count on you, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish moving until dark. Brother Huan is really stingy. He built such a big yard, but he only thought about a few girls. He forgot about me, the second sister-in-law. It’s gone beyond the sky.”

Jia Huan couldn't help but secretly praise Wang Xifeng for being a good person.

She came out to help with the move, which actually didn't take much effort. She just gave the orders, and the women and servants below did all the work.

But Jia Huan, Lin Daiyu and the others took this favor seriously.

Thinking of this, Jia Huan smiled and said: "I know that the second sister-in-law is a busy person, so I was not prepared to trouble the second sister-in-law to help. If the second sister-in-law is really exhausted, won't the second brother Lian feel distressed again?"

"Second sister-in-law said that I am stingy, which really makes me sad. There are many courtyards in Grand View Garden. If second sister-in-law really wants to live in one, she can just choose a courtyard to live in."

"I'm afraid that Brother Lian will come to trouble me when the time comes."

Wang Xifeng laughed and said, "Don't mention your second brother again. He wishes I lived far away so he could be free and happy outside!"

"Brother Huan, if you say that, then Second Sister-in-law will take it seriously. If I really want to go in and choose a yard to live in, you won't be able to regret it then."

Jia Huan said with a smile: "Second sister-in-law, let alone living in one courtyard, you can choose three or four courtyards to live in rotation, and that's okay."

While talking, Lin Daiyu's things had almost been moved.

Not to mention her intimate clothes, etc., they were all carried by Lin Daiyu's own maid.

The rest of the exquisite decorations in the house, as well as a roomful of books, were all carried by the women.

It's not too tiring for them. There is a carriage not far away. After moving into the carriage, they can go to Xiaoxiang Pavilion and then move into Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

Although Lin Daiyu had a lot of things, Wang Xifeng also called many people.

After a while, these things were almost moved.

As for the remaining bulky things, just ask the servants to carry them.

At this time, Lin Daiyu thanked Wang Xifeng and left directly to Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

In the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, she naturally had to look at the arrangement of things in person.

It's not too late to move the bulky things after all the personal belongings, books and decorations are arranged.

Wang Xifeng stopped watching, and went directly to Li Wan's place. Next, she would help Li Wan move things.

In this way, it can make the transportation speed faster.

Next, Jia Huan also learned from Wang Xifeng's method. He directly asked Lin Zhixiao's family to help Yingchun move.

In this way, the speed can be much faster.

After Jia Huan gave instructions to Lin Zhixiao and Lin Zhixiao's family, he went directly to the Grand View Garden.

Naturally, there was no need for him, the head of the family and patriarch of the family, to watch over such tasks as moving.

After entering the Grand View Garden, Jia Huan went directly to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

At this moment, Lin Daiyu was instructing the maids and women how to place her things.
