The old residence of the Xue family in Beijing, the flower hall in the inner courtyard.

Aunt Xue, Xue Baochai, Second Uncle Xue and Xue Pan were all sitting there, and they were discussing a major matter.

"Second uncle, do we want to take over the construction of the provincial residence in Rong Mansion?"

Xue Baochai frowned slightly and said, "This matter is not easy to handle!"

It was during my stay in Rongfu that I had a very bad impression of the Rongfu family having children.

Everyone from top to bottom is snobbish, and they are used to flattering those who are superior and putting down those who are inferior. It is really hard for people to like and get close to her.

"Whether it's easy to handle or not, we must take up the matter of building a provincial residence in Rongfu this time!"

Second Uncle Xue said firmly, "This is what General Jia of the Ning Mansion wants. Can we still refuse?"

He could see most clearly that the Xue family's current momentum at this time was entirely due to the right thigh.

Uncle Xue's eyes were sharp and he asked, "Could it be that they can still be the master of Rong Mansion?"

You know, this wave of outstanding female students are the cream of the next generation of girls from each government, and all of them are very talented and capable.

He didn't understand the situation at first, but he suffered a lot.

Jia Min is not a fool, on the contrary, he is very smart.

Sometimes she didn't understand. The old lady obviously knew about these situations, so why didn't she make an effort to rectify them?

If something goes wrong with the family's birth, it will not be a good thing for the Rong family.

Later, a group of people from the Ning Mansion took a boat to go south. When something happened, they did not hesitate to kill them. As a result, not only did nothing happen, but the rest of the trip was smooth sailing.

As for the big boss in Rongfu, we cannot put such strong pressure on him.

In addition, with the old man's rich construction experience, he naturally saw another benefit of the sand table model, but I wonder if those girls knew about it?

I don’t even think about who built the garden, or would such an important garden as the Provincial Family Courtyard be given to a girl like Xue Baochai who had just gotten her haircut?

Since Jia Rong did this, he naturally affirmed Xue Baochai's ability first.

Not only her, but Aunt Xue also looked like this.

As for Rongfu, do you need to think too much about it? Moreover, what you are worried about is the birth of a child in the Rongfu family?

If they offend Jia Rong of the Ning Mansion, what future will the Xue family have?

As if feeling the dissatisfaction of his second uncle, Xue Baochai explained: "The children of the Rongfu family have always been bold and reckless. I am worried that they will not get the benefits and will interfere with the construction of the provincial residence!"

If the Xue family takes over, they can at least earn some hard money.

Aunt Xue nodded repeatedly and said, "That's true!"

And Jia Rong, the head of the Ning Mansion, was their big hug.

They are just elders, so just respect them.

If nothing else, just because Jia Rong dared to let them participate in important affairs outside, you knew how much he valued it.

If you are strong, they will not dare to offend or offend you easily.

It opened my eyes, it really opened my eyes!

He had never imagined that when building a provincial residence that was neither large nor impressive, he would see such an exquisite and detailed sand table model.

"Is it possible that they still dare to stop us from building the provincial residence?"

The ones who took action were the maids around Xue Baochai and other female students.

Of course, following the second uncle out to run a boat and coming into contact with many low-level officials and officials in water transportation, the uncle and nephew were the ones who could best feel the strength and power.

Not only the old lady of the Rong Mansion will be watching closely, but the eldest lady, Mrs. Xing, the hostesses of the Ning Mansion, and the female headmaster Jia Min will not let down their guard.

I originally thought that the next thing would be to help supervise the construction matters, but who knew that I would be invited again a few days later, but I would see an exquisite sand table.

That is not just a boast, but the most real voice of the lower-level officials and people.

Not to mention, this kind of squeezing mud and playing like a house is also very popular among the maids, and they all learn it very seriously.

Shan Ziye was suddenly surprised that a bunch of girls were in charge, but he didn't say anything more, but took out the design drawings that he spent a lot of effort on.

Jia Min didn't take it seriously, thinking that Xue Baochai was still infected with some business habits, which was very wrong.

Of course, a group of female students who were responsible for supervising the construction of the Provincial House studied behind a screen. Such an opportunity was also quite rare.

Xue Baochai handed the list to Jia Min and said with some distress: "It's just that the prices of related materials outside are rising every day, and students don't know at what price they should set their prices!"

After serving as an official for almost a year, Uncle Xue's temperament has changed greatly.

He was a little confused. Is it necessary for the sister-in-law to gather everyone together to discuss whether to accept such a thing?

Xue Baochai was a little embarrassed and said with a wry smile: "Second uncle, that's not what I meant!"

As for the labor costs, the experienced shopkeepers of the Xue family will naturally be responsible for them.

It’s not that the Xue family doesn’t have some thugs who protect the home, and it’s not that they’ve never done anything to bully the weak, it’s just that Uncle Xue usually doesn’t have the intention to use it.

Unexpectedly, the effect was quite good, and the crew members were particularly adaptable.

"What, are you in any trouble?"

After the modification of the sand table model was completed, Xue Baochai took a group of classmates and began to calculate the materials and labor costs based on the sand table model.

Xue Baochai was a little proud, but also a little embarrassed and said: "Mountain Chief, just building houses and laying rockery flowers and plants, that's all!"

He often travels on boats and encounters a lot of things, so he has a fierceness about him.

The Xue family currently relies on Jia Rong of Ning Mansion.

But if you are not strong, or if you are weak, then I'm sorry, even if it is just a little benefit, you will fight for it crazily.

On the sand table, the pavilions, pavilions, rockeries, flowers and rocks are lifelike, and the main building is quite majestic. It is the provincial residence designed by him.

When the time comes to build the Provincial Courtyard, all matters will be discussed with the Rongfu, and by the way, the big bosses of the Rongfu will be invited to participate in the supervision of the construction.

But, after all, she is a housewife and has not experienced much.

There are not so many tricks. It is dominated by one main building and is surrounded by various small and exquisite scenery, which is very Jiangnan garden style.

"There are also antique ornaments in the house. If they want to meet the royal specifications, they will cost at least one or two hundred thousand taels!"

Then, he informed Xue Baochai of some of the situation inside.

The exchange took an hour and a half, and the things recorded in the maid's hand were confirmed and there were no mistakes or omissions before he was sent away.

Jia Min smiled and said: "Don't worry, it will be no problem!"

Even if there are strange stones that are not available in the Xue family store, Uncle Xue is still responsible for looking for them in Jiangnan.

For example, sandbox model making is one of their learning subjects.

Uncle Xue said in a deep voice: "When I reply to General Jia of Ning Mansion, I will explain the matter clearly!"

Uncle Xue said angrily: "If you can't even control the children in the house, what hope do you have in the future?"

With previous experience in participating in the planning and design of the Jinmen Port, the supervision of the construction of the Provincial Family House this time was naturally familiar.

Since it means thigh, it means going up the mountain of swords and down to the sea of ​​fire. The Xue family has to bravely rush up, let alone the matter of building the provincial residence.

There is an exquisite sand table model of equal proportions for reference, so the calculation of materials is very fast.

As for what Xue Baochai was worried about, it was nothing at all.

This time, Xue Baochai did not intend to make money, but she also did not intend to lose money.

Jia Min took the initiative to speak. She had seen the recent performance of Xue Baochai and other female students, and was naturally very satisfied.

The Ning Mansion's reputation outside is much stronger than that of the Rong Mansion. This is an indisputable fact.

He highly recognized and valued Xue Baochai's intelligence.

Not to mention, if the girls' reputation is damaged because the Rongfu family gives birth to children, the Rongfu family may not be able to withstand the overwhelming anger brought by the other families.

I have been dealing with my natal family for so long, how could I not understand the difficulty of giving birth to a child in the Rongfu family?

"It's no trouble. All the materials and labor costs for building the provincial residence have been calculated!"

In this case, Xue Baochai can naturally devote all his efforts to the construction of the provincial residence with confidence and boldness.

Anyone who dares to act like a monster in front of so many outstanding female students is definitely seeking death.

The Ning Mansion deliberately set up a Provincial Courtyard Supervision Office in a courtyard outside the second gate.

Even in modern society, if you want to do business abroad, you have to be prepared to fall out with local snakes, or even take action. What's more, it's still in this era?

Uncle Xue tied his hands before. After all, it was his first time to be an official, so he was always a little uncomfortable with it, or he wanted to show his best, gentlest and kindest side.

The construction of the Provincial Courtyard in Rongfu was not directly presided over by her, but was handed over to the outstanding women's school in Ningfu, of which she was the leader.

Xue Baochai personally communicated with Shan Ziye and asked whether there was any room for improvement in the provincial provincial courtyard model in the sandbox.

Whether there are any problems can basically be seen by careful observation. It is not appropriate to wait until everything is built to be discovered later.

"Since you think there is trouble, then list all the troubles!"

Shan Ziye, who was in charge of the design of the Provincial Courtyard, was an old man with half-white hair, so he didn't need to be too shy about the protection between men and women.
