Jia Yujing of Red Mansion

Chapter 250 Spring Time
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of February, the weather was warm, and the plum tree in Jia's backyard was full of plum blossoms again.

Jia Baoyu and Qin Zhong had already gone south in early February.

A few days ago, the miserable Jia Cong also escorted Jia Jing's coffin back to Jinling.

The turmoil in Ningguo Mansion gradually subsided, and only the undercurrent under the water was still surging.

In the yard, Jia Qiong was supporting Wang Yuyan for a walk, enjoying the beautiful time of early spring.

Jia Qiong said: "Now that the weather is getting warmer, my wife should go out for walks more and not stay in the room all day.

I will be returning to the Masonic Department to take up my post at the end of my confinement period in a few days, so I won’t have much time to spend with you.

Don't be lazy, I have already asked Keqing to accompany you out more. "

Wang Yuyan smiled and said: "I know, I'd say it's quite good that you're grounded this time. You don't usually have such leisure."

Jia Qiong smiled and said, "That's right.

How about I ask for another order and ask the emperor to lock me up for a few more months, and I will go back to take up my post after you are out of confinement. "

Wang Yuyan rolled her eyes at him and said, "That's nice to say.

If that's the case, I won't be able to hold you back to death. I can't see you staying still these days. "

Jia Qiong chuckled and said, "Madam, I can see that it's really depressing to stay at home every day.

It was fine a few days ago, but these days it's hard to calm down when I think about going out soon. Speaking of which, I still haven't mastered my Qi cultivation skills. "

Wang Yuyan said: "It's hard for you, and it's true that the emperor said he would be detained for three months, so I thought he would be spared in advance.

I'm a little tired, let's sit for a while. "

"Okay, slow down."

Jia Qiong helped Wang Yuyan sit on the wicker chair under the plum blossom tree. Myolie who was waiting next to her hurriedly stepped forward and covered her with a blanket.

Jia Qiong sat next to him and said, "I was banned because I offended the Supreme Emperor. How could the Emperor forgive me so easily?

Besides, I was injured. Didn’t the Emperor also tell me to take care of myself at home?

Don't say such resentful words in the future. "

Wang Yuyan said: "I'm just talking casually at home, do you need to be so careful?"

Jia Qiong said: "It's not the same at home. How can a minister say anything wrong to the emperor? You have to remember it."

Wang Yuyan said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I just won't say anything, I'm too lazy to take care of these things about you.

Let me tell you something serious. Sister Xue is getting married in May, and we should get ready. "

Jia Qiong asked strangely: "What are you preparing for? She is just an ordinary wife, and she has not been granted marriage by the emperor.

A sedan chair is all you need to carry it home, what else do you need to prepare? "

Wang Yuyan said: "You don't worry about family matters at all.

After all, Sister Xue is also the legitimate daughter of the Xue family. She must have several servants when she gets married.

Look at our house, there is nowhere to live. Even Sister Xue has nowhere to stay, let alone a roommate for her. "

Jia Qiong nodded and said, "It's time to change to a bigger house.

You don’t have to worry about this, I’ve already thought about it.

The new house in Qinglongfang will be almost ready to live in in April, so I will save a good one in advance.

Look at whether you want ten acres or twenty acres. I think ten acres is enough. If it is too big, there is no need. "

Wang Yuyan curled her lips when she heard this and said: "You'd better forget about your Qinglongfang.

It's been several months, and I heard that Qinglongfang is still like a big construction site with a mess everywhere.

Girl Feng came over a few days ago and talked a lot in roundabout ways. She probably regretted listening to you and buying the house there. "

Jia Qiong laughed and said, "You don't understand this. The smallest houses in Qinglongfang are all ten-acre mansions. Naturally, they are not comparable to the residential houses in Shuangquan Town. The first phase of Qinglongfang's houses were actually built last year. It's almost done, but the layout of the garden landscape is too time-consuming.

Many flowers and trees need to be transported from the south of the Yangtze River, and they will definitely not survive the winter. They need warm weather before they can be transplanted, so the resumption of work was postponed until this month.

Just watch, in less than two months, things will be completely different over there. "

Wang Yuyan glanced at him and said, "I heard from Feng Yatou that no one is buying your house there.

You, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the Emperor made such a big wish, wouldn't you...? "

Because the house in Qinglongfang was pre-sold before it was completed, the sales of the Masonic Club were not very smooth this time.

In the first phase of fifty houses with ten acres of land, only twelve houses were sold after four months, and most of them were bought by Jia Qiong's relatives and friends.

Four of them were bought by Wang Xifeng after listening to Jia Qiong's advice and spending most of his wealth in the Rongguo Mansion.

None of the larger houses were sold.

Many people think that Jia Qiong may be in trouble this time. The house in Qinglongfang is not as popular as he said.

Obviously, Wang Xifeng lost her temper after hearing this.

She couldn't open her mouth to Jia Qiong, so she could only complain to Wang Yuyan.

After hearing Wang Yuyan's words, Jia Qiong smiled nonchalantly and said, "Tell Second Sister Lian to calm down and wait a month to see again.

I promise she won't suffer a loss. If you don't believe it, we can make a bet. "

Seeing how confident he was, Wang Yuyan felt relieved. After all, Jia Qiong's bets had never gone wrong.

She smiled and said: "I won't bet with you, what's the benefit of winning.

Since you are so confident, then just listen to you. It just so happens that I also have peace of mind. "

Jia Qiong asked: "How big do you want it to be?"

Wang Yuyan thought for a while and said: "We have changed to a new house, and you, me, Sister Qin, and Sister Xue will all have their own yards.

We also need to prepare a yard for our aunt, Wei Rui, cousins, and the others.

If we change to a big house, we can often bring the old lady and the sisters from the Jia family over to stay for a while.

And your future staff and entourage must also prepare their accommodation in advance.

There are also children, if they grow up in the future, they will also have their own yard.

Calculated in this way, ten acres is still a bit small, so I think twenty acres is better. "

Jia Qiong nodded and said, "My lady has thought carefully.

From now on, our family will probably have ten or eight children.

Based on this calculation, twenty acres may not be enough. How about thirty acres? "

Wang Yuyan rolled her eyes at him and said: "A house of twenty acres is not small, and it will definitely be enough for the time being.

It’s better not to be too arrogant, just wait until you can no longer live in it and then change it.

Speaking of children, why is Sister Qing still silent?

I think she has been a little anxious recently. Why don't you take some more medicine? "

Jia Qiong said helplessly: "I told you that it's not about my health, it's just that the opportunity has not come yet, what's the use of being anxious.

You should also try to persuade Keqing in private, telling her not to worry too much about this. There is no need to rush things about the child, it will take care of itself naturally. "

Wang Yuyan said: "Sister Qin, I will naturally comfort her, but you should also comfort her more."

"What the lady said is that I will have a good talk with Keqing tonight."
