Di daughter is easy to marry: the stunning princess

Chapter 292 The Bottomless Pit

The so-called non-speculative words are too much, not to mention that Xiao Feng didn't mean to say more. Since Qin Xiao had made his position clear, he was relieved.

Although Jin Xi has been talking about family affairs with Jin Jue, she has been paying attention to Qin Xiao's movement from the corner of her eyes.Seeing that Qin Xiao's face was getting paler and Xiao Feng said five words, he didn't seem to be able to reply, Jin Xi secretly sighed, it seems that their brotherhood of more than ten years has come to an end.

"I want to dig this lotus pond a little bigger, plant more lotus roots, water chestnuts and raise some koi, do you think it's okay?" Xiao Feng walked with Jin Jue and others for a while, Qin Xiao was still a little out of his mind, Jin Xi had no choice but to deliberately tease him to talk.

Qin Xiao raised his eyes and looked around, nodded and smiled, "As long as you like it, anything is fine!"

Jin Xi rolled his eyes at him, as long as I like it?Don't you live here in the future?

Complaints are blamed, Qin Xiao didn't seem to care at all, Jin Xi had to make up his own mind, stared at the blueprint in his hand for a while, and said hesitantly: "But such a large water surface, if it doesn't flow, will the water quality deteriorate after a long time?" not good?"

After waiting for a while, Qin Xiao didn't know what he was thinking, as if he didn't hear her words at all.The foreman who was in charge of building the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion hurriedly replied for him: "This lake can be dug out all the way and connected to the water of Jinming Lake outside, so that it will become living water."

Jin Xi's eyes lit up, and he frowned immediately, "Is this a huge amount of work? How much money do we need?"

The foreman made a quick calculation in his heart, and said with a smile: "If we add more manpower, the construction period will not be delayed. As for the money... probably add about 5000 taels!"

To dig out an extra piece of water, would it cost an extra 5000 taels of silver?Jin Xi's eyelids twitched twice, and he became entangled immediately. 5000 taels of silver, that is not a small sum.The shops she rented out to people in other courtyards probably earn only two 5000 taels a year.

Now the Qingyuan Hou Mansion has not seen what it looks like, so it cost 10,000+ taels.Guangcai spent tens of thousands of taels of silver on buying wood and ordering turquoise glazed tiles that match the status of the Houfu.The little money in her hand... is really not rich!
Jin Xi looked up at the sky, if only it rained money!

"Forget it, the water surface is big, the humidity is heavy, the winter is cold and the summer is stuffy, so let's build it according to the original plan!"

"Ma'am, what you said is very true, and when the pool is big, you have to dig deeper. If someone accidentally slips and falls, it will be taboo." The master spoke, and the foreman naturally said good things.The entire Qingyuan Hou Mansion had a huge amount of work, and he didn't care about taking a little less work.

"The pool is not dug in the house, of course the bigger the better!" Qin Xiao woke up from nowhere and immediately denied Jin Xi's idea.Secretly angry and funny, this woman feels distressed when she hears that she will spend money, is she really afraid that he can't support her?
Without giving Jinxi a chance to refute, Qin Xiao immediately ordered the foreman again: "Just do as you said, dig through Jinming Lake, and bring in a stream of running water. Build a few more boats, matching the size. Build a pavilion in the lake , use glass on all sides to make some movable windows. Then bury earth dragons in the ground, enjoy the snow in winter and watch the rain in summer.”

The foreman nodded again and again, but Jin Xi's head grew louder and louder. Ancestor, do you know how much the purse on your waist shrinks when your upper and lower lips touch each other?
Qin Xiao seemed to be addicted, changed his usual attitude of indifference to Jin Xi, and even started from the door with the blueprint in his hands, asking carefully everywhere.Walking down the main hall, the main courtyard, the cross courtyard, and the back garden, Jin Xi's tired legs won't bend back.Qin Xiao didn't even mean to be tired.

One picks one place, and everything is refined, "The stone steps here are all replaced with white marble, and the veranda is two feet wider, and the paintings on it must be painted in gold, and this place... there are several plants. Bitao, isn't it monotonous to only grow bitao? Would it be better to catch another Xifu crabapple, or plant two magnolias..."

Jin Xi was terrified at first, but later, her face became numb.Uncle Qin, do you know that our money is not enough after you make this change?
Hearing Qin Xiao turn around to ask her opinion, Jin Xi had nothing to say, put his hands on his head, really wanted to play dead.Ancestor, do you know how much silver is a green peach?A green peach tree with the thickness of a child's arm costs 50 taels, and your field is full...you just throw a piece of gold and forget it!

"I'm tired, my brain is not working right now, let's talk about it tomorrow!"

This trick really worked, Qin Xiao immediately came over and looked at her with concern, "What's wrong with you?"

My purse is uncomfortable!If it weren't for the small and big workers in charge of building the garden who followed him every step of the way, Jin Xi really wanted to scold this guy. Do you know that there is a word called budget?Do you know how much silver you have?

Do you feel that after the Qingyuan Hou Mansion is built, we can live by drinking northwest wind?

The problem is that it is not yet winter, and there is not even a northwest wind!

Ever since getting into the carriage, Jin Xi dragged her chin with her hands and stared at the window in a daze. After walking for more than half an hour, her expression didn't change. Qin Xiao felt something was wrong and looked at her worriedly, "Do you have any questions?" Unsatisfied with the place? It’s okay, let the foreman change it to your liking tomorrow!”

"Alter it? What else do you want to change?" Jin Xi was thinking where he could save some money to pay for the hole made by Uncle Qin's mess today, but he didn't hear what he said before, only heard With the word 'change', I forgot that I was still in the car, and I jumped up subconsciously.His head hit the roof of the car hard, and his eyes were full of pain.

"Is it damaged?" Qin Xiao pulled her into his arms distressedly, pulled out her hairpin without saying a word, draped all her hair down, and examined it carefully.

When she found a big bruised bump on her head, she couldn't help feeling distressed, and while rubbing her with her hand, she said bitterly: "You are such a big person, and you are still so careless, how can I rest assured that my son will be by your side in the future?" ?”

"Your son?" Jin Xi's thoughts were still focused on Yin Zi, and for a moment she didn't realize that Qin Xiao's words were teasing her. The first thought in her mind was actually the little boy Qin Xiao saved in Anyang. "He was adopted by the Tang family. He is staying in Anyang well. What are you doing to bring him back?"

"Who?" Qin Xiao was taken aback by her words, and it took him a while to remember what Jin Xi was talking about.Immediately angry, can this woman put her mind on a serious place?What are you thinking about all day long?

He pinched Jin Xi's nose, and said viciously: "I'm talking about my son, the son I gave birth to with you!"

"Who's going to give birth to a son for you!" Jin Xi blushed. He just got married yesterday, but today he's talking about giving birth to a son. This speed...isn't it too fast?
It's too late, but this topic has successfully diverted Jinxi's attention.

The two returned to Uncle Changyang's mansion laughing and laughing all the way, to Jinxi's surprise, they didn't see anyone for a whole day, and Uncle Changping and his wife didn't even ask a question, as if there were no two of them in the mansion at all.

Jin Xi is no longer surprised, Chang Ping and his wife only have a little affection for Qin Xiao now, so that's good, if they don't see each other, they don't interfere with each other and save trouble.

She thought so in her heart, but at night, looking at the perch sent by Changping Bot on the table at night, Jin Xi felt that she had to show something.

At least you have to say thank you, right?

It stands to reason that Mrs. Changping should be the one to take care of such exchanges in the inner courtyard, such as sending fish and soup.But Mrs. Changping is like an invisible person, except for showing a side when worshiping Gaotang, she is silent.Uncle Chang Ping even took the initiative to deliver fish, which gave Jin Xi a headache.

Although the fish was sent by Uncle Changping, Jinxi, as his daughter-in-law, naturally couldn't return the gift directly to Uncle Changping. After thinking for a long time, he asked Zhang Gen's daughter-in-law to make a plate of water chestnut cake with the fresh water chestnuts she bought on the way, and put fresh water chestnuts on the cake. The chicken head rice was picked and put on a plate, and I put it in a food box by myself.

Instructed Qing Xing: "You send these two things to Mrs. Changping, and say...the prince thought it was good after tasting it, so I specially sent it to ask her to taste it too!"

It is very important to have a good relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Even if it is not a serious mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, a good relationship is better than a bad relationship!

Qing Xing felt that the task was important, she thought for a while and said with a smile: "Let Hai Tang go with the servants!" The implication is that she is going to see Mrs. Uncle after all, she really dare not go alone!

Jin Xi didn't laugh at her for being timid as a mouse, but felt that her request was very good, and immediately nodded in agreement.Qing Xing was originally the little girl of the rough envoy, and later she followed her to Anyang, and went through hardships, although her vision was a bit higher than Haitang.But the rules of the inner house are indeed not as good as Haitang.

You have to think so much about returning a gift to Mrs. Uncle. In the future, you have to manage the entire Qingyuan Marquis Mansion, and socialize with nobles from aristocratic families. Why don't you exhaust her to death?
From here to there, when you think about it, Jinxi is one head and two big, and instantly feels that the whole person is about to fall apart.

Qin Xiao came out of the clean room after washing, and saw Jinxi folded his arms, lying on the table in a daze regardless of his image, and couldn't help laughing: "I'll give you a fish, and you'll be so shocked. Give you some rare treasures, what do you do?"

"I'll sell it all for silver and give it to Uncle Qin to build the Qingyuan Hou Mansion!" Jin Xi didn't even lift her head, she was thinking about a fish, if she was really given a bunch of rare treasures, she really wouldn't want to.Spend it first!

As the old saying goes, only the money you spend is yours!Besides, the Qingyuan Hou Mansion under construction is a bottomless pit, and no matter how many rare treasures have to be swallowed!

After working for a long time, the woman is listless because of lack of money!
Qin Xiao sat down opposite Jinxi, looked at the little woman who was so worried that she had forehead wrinkles, and couldn't laugh or cry, "Don't worry, I always have my reasons for doing this. You don't have to worry about money, no It will make you unable to eat!"

"What do you want to do?" Jin Xi sat up straight, staring at Qin Xiao vigilantly.Compared with talking nonsense and increasing the budget at will, this guy's way of scooping up money is even more worrying!
"Uncle Qin, who are you trying to trick?"
