Chapter 144 No matter what's best

"Sneer!" The fifth prince disdained: "But how much can a dowry be ranked?" What can I do? Besides, her dowry is hers, more or less. Is it possible that I can still use her dowry? I can't afford to lose this face!" Jiang Zhengyuan smiled awkwardly and said, "That's true. No matter what, there is no need for the daughter-in-law's dowry. This dowry is just a face."

The fifth prince glanced at him and asked casually, "You have been lucky recently to get such a fat from the fourth brother."

"It's up to you." Jiang Zhengyuan's eyes were slightly sluggish, and he smiled calmly and said, "The fourth master has made a marriage, and then it's time to discuss your marriage. Mrs. Ye took a fancy to several little women and asked her aunt to help them participate in the Xiangxiang together. When they spoke, they talked about me and put them in their eyes. One you and the other me are idle and did not want to make progress. That's all. I found an ervoy for me. I heard from my aunt that the little ladies that Mrs. Ye looked at you really couldn't pick out, but you chose Mrs. Li.

"Can I choose?" The fifth prince responded angrily. Jiang Zhengyuan's eyes moved slightly and then said, "Yesterday, the mother went to see her aunt and came back and told me about your marriage. Her aunt said that she had asked several little ladies who fell in love with Ye. The officials said that she didn't have to worry about your marriage. The officials really loved you very much and could get married in person. You are the first one."

A trace of solemnity flashed through the eyes of the fifth prince and said in silence for a moment, "Thank you, is your marriage settled?"

"Almost, my mother is picky, has a good family background, can't be arrogant, be gentle, and has the ability to manage the family. Anyway, that means to choose a perfect one. I don't care about it, as long as she chooses it." Jiang Zhengyuan said casually, and the fifth prince slowly sighed, "I also want a soft personality."

"Huh? Isn't Mrs. Li a well-known and knowledgeable? Jiang Zhengyuan said strangely, and the fifth prince glanced at him sideways and didn't answer for a long time.

Send Jiang Zhengyuan away, and the fifth prince was crooked on the kang in a daze. Huang Jingjie hurried in from the outside and said, "Li, who will be the supervisor, asked to see you the drawings of the mansion and ask for instructions on how to repair and decorate it. He also said that the house I chose was big. Although the location and garden are good, the house has been in disrepair for a long time, so I have to report this to you. It's about the money."

"Why is it so annoying!" The fifth prince slapped several times an annoyance and shouted, "What's the report on the money? Just say clearly, don't you think that the money allocated by the Ministry of Ceremonies is not enough? I don't have any money, I don't have a taels! Love to repair but not to repair! And ask me how to repair the layout, do I have to tell them how to work?! No see!" Huang Jingjie smiled bitterly and stood for a while before saying helplessly, "That's your mansion..."

"That's the prince's mansion! Everything is customized. What do you want to ask? Go and tell them that the royal family has rules for everything. Let them do it by themselves. If they can't do it, they will hand it over and find someone who can do it!" The fifth prince cut off Huang Jingjie's words and said righteously. Huang Jingqi exhaled harshly: "Is it a kind of wisteria or a kind of Lingxiao outside your study? Let them do it as well?"

"This is up to you!" The fifth prince didn't want to listen to one more sentence at all. He waved his hand impatiently and said, Huang Jingjie had to sigh and leave. Today, the fifth master's terrible temper was all made by that box falling into the corner.

Master Li is a straightforward person. He didn't say a word. He respectfully said goodbye to the shopkeeper Huang, held the paper drawings, went out to the right, and went straight to Li Zhongzhi's house.

No, Li Zhongzhi and Director Li, who was holding the drawings, came out and got into the car and entered Qingtong Courtyard.

Li Tian sat on the bed and slowly looked through the drawings laid in front of him. The architectural engineering drawings of this era are quite good. They are simply fine brushwork drawings. For a layman like her, she looks very comfortable and clear.

Li Zhongzhi sat in the armchair in front of the kang and said slowly, "I got the letter of marriage, so I will pay attention to this branch and the repair of the rear. First of all, I have to praise the fifth master. The house I chose is good, the location is good, and the scenery is good. These two are the most important. The fifth master has a vision. When he picked it that evening, I found a few A master went to take a closer look. The house is a little old and there are many places to repair, but it's not a big deal. Besides the repair, this is Lao Jiu of Anyuanfang. Li Zhongzhi pointed to the middle-aged steward sitting opposite and said, "It's called Li Xiaoning. Lao Jiu has been a prisoner for 20 years. The doorway on the repair is not unknown to him, and he is also smart and flexible. There is no worry about the matter of repairing the house to him."

"This difference happened to be in the hands of Brother Jiu?" Li Tian interrupted, and Li Zhongzhi stroked his beard and smiled, "The fifth sister is a sensible person. Originally, it was necessary to make some work for such an envoy to repair the prince's mansion, but this is a general prison. Our Li family wants to take the order, and it is not the turn of others."

"The fourth master's house is also the head of our children?"

"The fourth master's house naturally listens to the Dongyang County King's Mansion to take care of people, and our Li family has always been honest." Li Zhongzhi smiled and was extremely kind. Li Tian nodded clearly. The Li family has no backer. If you want to keep a low profile, you can't do things to compete for profits with others.

"Let's continue to talk about the business. The first one is that the money is not rich in the money. There are rules for the prince's mansion. This rule has been established. When Lao Jiu took over the errand, he talked to the palace that there is no need to be too tight on the money. If it is not enough, it will be supplemented from the prohibition. This matter has to be After discussing with the fifth lady, I asked someone to inquire about this. There is no such thing in the fourth master's mansion. I mean, since there is such a saying in the palace, it always needs to support a little. It can't bear the heart of the official's beloved son, but it can't be more. This is all a matter to be paid. If there are too much money, I'm afraid that the officials look back at the account book and feel sorry for money. Second, I'm afraid Other masters knew that they were uncomfortable. Besides, there was also the imperial history platform. They didn't take this handle and give it to those imperial historians who had nothing to do. Besides, there was no Huang family. I asked Lao Jiu to go to the Qingfeng Tower. Although I didn't see the fifth master, I got the words of the Huang Da shopkeeper, saying that there were any shortcomings, just wrote down the use of Qingfeng. Lou Zhi's silver, so it's all right on the money.

Li Tian put down the drawings and listened attentively to Li Zhongzhi's words. She only listened and smiled. Her cousin looked honest and kindly. Do you know where the silver is easy to use? In the future, this house will be the place where she will live every day, maybe for a lifetime or half of her life. Naturally, it is best to cultivate it to make herself satisfactory.

"In addition, the construction period. We have to repair it carefully. This construction period is very tight. Lao Jiu has carefully calculated it. As long as it is properly arranged and catch up with the work, there is still time. The only thing is the same. The fifth master is in charge of the place. The fifth master can't delay, and he will miss the work for a day!" Li Zhongzhi stopped and looked at Li Tian. Li Tian tapped his chin with two fingers and thought, "Is repairing this house a matter of an inner house? If you don't bother him, you'd better not bother him. Come and find me if you have anything to do. This will bother you. It's the same. If you have to catch up with the construction period, the craftsmen must work harder than usual. It's summer again. One is the wages, and the other is food and soup. Don't be harsh. I'll pay for this money.

"Don't worry, the fifth lady," Li Zhongzhi seemed to have expected how Li Tian would reply for a long time. He looked at Li Tian with a smile and said, "There is no need for the fifth lady to pay for money. With so many projects, it's enough to save money anywhere. Another important thing, which one do you think is better, this garden repairer?

"There is a man named Luo Zichu in Beicheng. Does uncle know?"

"I know that it's good for Luo Zi to cultivate the garden, but it's too expensive and the price is high. Is it him?"

"Well, the house he built is luxurious and thoughtful. The matter of his wages..."

"It's okay. Spread it all over the place." Li Zhongzhi took the words and said. Li Jiu sat opposite and kept smiling and nodded in agreement. Li Tian looked at the two and raised her eyebrows slightly. It seemed that they were all good at messing!

Send Li Zhongzhi and ninth brother Li Xiao'an away. Li Tian was slowly looking at the drawings. Yue Niang came in and said, "How much money does the Huang family have to put in?"

"I don't know. I have to wait for Mr. Luo to come out the picture. Don't worry, I can't get much money. There are uncles and nine brothers. The things received from the Ministry of Engineering and the palace must be top-quality. If it is not wasted, it can save a lot of money." Li Tian didn't raise her head. Yue Niang stood against the door and thought for a long time, "What about picking the rest of the bad ones? Divided to that fourth master's house?"

"How do I know!" Li Tian blocked Yue Niang's words depressedly.

After the tedious etiquette, the new scholars went to all kinds of state banquets and ministerial banquets. The national ceremony came to an end, and the pile of banquets between relatives and friends had already been honored.

The banquet of the Royal Palace of Nanning County is naturally very far ahead. In addition, there are not many people who can invite Sandingjia. The banquet of the Royal Palace of Nanning County is lively and makes Princess Jiang's face red.

Lin Yangfeng and Lin Yangwen greeted the guests around with the wind. Lin Yangfeng stood in the corner of the most spacious flower hall in the house and looked at the distinguished guests and talents full of Jiji. His pride was full of pride. The literary meeting in their house can be ranked in the top five in the capital, right? No, it can be ranked in the top three!

Lin Yangfeng looked around the whole flower hall over and over again, but saw a corner of the flower hall. Jiang Hong pinched a cup and turned his back to the crowd, faintly looking at the flourishing flowers and trees outside the window. Lin Yangfeng hurried over a few steps, patted Jiang Hong on the shoulder and smiled, "Why are you hiding here alone? The couplets over there are so lively.
