Duke Ning's Mansion, in the garden.

Pavilions, pavilions, bridges and flowing water are all here.

Jia Mu was walking on the stone steps with Yuanchun's support. Aunt Xue, Mrs. Wang, Li Wan and all the girls were following behind her. They were chattering and it was very lively.

The wife in the back house had nothing to do on weekdays and had nothing to do. She was tired of visiting the West Mansion. She had not been to the East Mansion since Jia Yun Chengjue, so Jia Mu came to the garden of Ning Mansion surrounded by everyone.

"It's well taken care of, much better than Xifu." Jia Mu praised the garden when she saw it was neatly trimmed and the trees were well arranged.

Yuan Chun replied with a smile: "I heard that Brother Yun has entrusted the garden in the mansion to the old ladies in the mansion. They try their best and repair it frequently, so it looks better than elsewhere."

"Packed it out?" Jia Mu said with some doubts.

Yuanchun nodded and responded: "We contracted it out and let the people below grow it themselves. Half of the profits will be turned over after the year, and the rest will be their own income."

Jia Mu frowned when she heard this and said, "What benefits can this bring?"

Yuan Chun smiled and said: "I don't know the specific granddaughter, but the Dongfu is managed by Bao Yatou, so Bao Yatou must know."

Hearing Yuanchun mentioning himself, Baochai came forward and said: "Old lady, don't tell me, there is nothing in the world that cannot be used. Once it is usable, it is valuable. After the garden is contracted out, there will be about 400 taels of interest a year.

better than nothing."

When Jia Mu heard this, she said with a slightly dissatisfied tone: "Dongfu is not short of money, but for these petty profits, Dongfu has lost its face."

From Jia Mu's point of view, if outsiders know that the garden of the mansion is being contracted out, they should not say that the Duke's mansion is lonely and cannot even afford to hire servants to do the pruning.

Baochai looked stunned, tightened the embroidered handkerchief in his hand, and said with a smile: "Brother Yun is not doing it for the money. The main reason is that there are few people in the house and the garden is spacious, so I can't take care of it at the moment, so Brother Yun

I thought of renting out the garden, so that I would have someone to take care of it, and secondly, it would also save the house money. The old lady also knew that hiring someone to prune and take care of this garden would cost a lot of money, so I rented it out. The following is

People also try their best.”

Jia Mu thought about it after hearing the words. According to Baochai's statement, it's not bad. People who specialize in pruning are different from servants and servants. They need craftsmanship. Naturally, the monthly rate is not low. Moreover, the garden is large, so you can't just hire pruners.

People also need implant care and other things, which adds up to a certain amount of expenses...

Thinking of this, Jia Mu thought that maybe Xifu could learn something from it. She raised her eyes and glanced at Baochai. She felt that Baochai was becoming more and more pleasing to her eyes. Although the method was good, someone still had to take care of it. If the people below stole it,

It seems that Baochai is doing his best to manage the affairs of the house for Jia Yun, but it is a pity that Baochai is not a good wife for Baoyu...

Nodding, Jia Mu immediately stopped talking. Aunt Xue on the side rolled her eyes, secretly wondering if the old lady was unhappy because Baochai was in charge of the affairs of the house? Thinking of this, Aunt Xue couldn't help but

She turned her head and glanced at Daiyu, who was chatting with Xiangyun.......

Yuanchun groaned and said: "Old lady, we have already walked around the garden, why not go and have a rest. The Tianxiang Building in Dongfu is good, and there is also a theater troupe that Brother Yun bought from Jiangnan. Let's just go and listen to it.

Play relieves fatigue and boredom."

When Jia Mu heard this, she laughed and said, "The monkeys are not doing well, but they treat these aunts well. They specially send people to Jiangnan to buy things to relieve their boredom."

Yingchun and others pursed their lips and smiled, their eyes rolling around Daiyu. You know, this troupe was originally bought to relieve Daiyu's boredom.

Xiangyun laughed playfully and came closer and said: "Auntie, you are wrong about this. This is not for us to relieve our boredom. We are just getting some light."

Daiyu raised her smoky eyebrows and said angrily: "Is it because you have never ordered a play? You are the only girl who has heard a lot."

These sisters often played in Tianxiang Tower and naturally listened to a lot of plays to pass the time.

Jia Mu laughed and said, "Well, then I, the old woman, can also take advantage of it and go and listen to one or two plays."

When Daiyu saw Jia Mu, she teased him and said coquettishly: "Grandma!!!"

Jia Mu laughed and stopped joking. Baoyu, who was left at the end, felt sad. He also wanted to go to Tianxiang Tower to have fun, but Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang refused, which made him feel depressed. Nowadays, he rarely interacts with her.

The sisters were having fun and it was so boring!!!!!

Then a group of people walked toward Tianxiang Tower in a mighty manner. When they reached the corridor, they saw three figures walking in the opposite direction. Jia Mu, who was walking in front, frowned when she saw the people coming.

"I've seen the old lady." The visitor bowed to Jia Mu.

Jia Mu nodded and said in a deep voice: "Brother Zhen, daughter-in-law, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you doing?"

The person who came was none other than Mrs. You. She was wandering in the garden with Er You today. She never expected to see Jia Mu and her group. Since they bumped into each other, if she didn't come forward and salute, someone would give her a black eye and appoint her.

Disaster.

Listening to Jia Mu's greetings, You replied: "Thank you, old lady, I'm sorry. I'm doing fine here. I don't have anything short of anything on weekdays."

After Jia Zhen passed away, Jia's mother just asked Jia Yun to settle down with Youshi and then ignored her. Looking at Youshi's good complexion, she also knew that Jia Yun had not treated Youshi badly and was not because of Jia Zhen's confusion.

After all, Mr. You is not a cold-hearted person to express his anger. I can rest assured that the Jia family will be handed over to Jia Yun in the future...

At this time, Baoyu came forward and saw Eryou next to You. His eyes lit up and he asked curiously: "Which of these two sisters is so beautiful?"

Er You can be coveted by Jia Zhen and others, how could her appearance be so bad, especially the demure Second Sister You, who is even more outstanding. In the original work, after Second Sister You was coaxed to Jia's house by Sister Feng, Sister Feng took her to see Jia's mother.

The old and dazzled Mother Jia first "looked at her" when she entered the door. She felt that she was a "beautiful little daughter-in-law". She could be admired by Mother Jia in public. It can be imagined that her appearance was no less beautiful than in the house.

Jia's mother and others laughed in their hearts. This was Baoyu's problem again. Whenever he was born with good looks, Baoyu would take the initiative to get close to him. It wasn't that Baoyu had any dirty thoughts, he just thought he looked good. Everyone knows these things.

, naturally they won’t take it seriously, and even Yuanchun knows about it, but unlike Jia Mu, Yuanchun might not have cared about it when he was young in the past, but now at this age, Baoyu should learn to avoid taboos.

Xiangyun whispered to Daiyu: "Brother Ai's temper can never be changed."

Daiyu said angrily: "Baoyu has had this temper since he was a child. It's not like you don't know and you still make sarcastic remarks."

If it were in the original work, Daiyu would get angry when seeing Baoyu being so sure, but now the situation is different. Baoyu has nothing to do with Daiyu. Not only Daiyu, but also Baochai doesn't care at all and just treats it as fun.

...

Seeing Baoyu's "mad look", Third Sister You couldn't help but chuckle. Second Sister You was a well-behaved person, lowering her eyebrows and lowering her eyes as if she was nervous.

Seeing this situation, both Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang couldn't help but frowned. It was obvious that they had a very bad impression of Third Sister You. Mrs. Wang even concluded in her heart that Third Sister You was a vixen who specialized in seducing men and she had to keep Baoyu away.

some.

At this time, Baochai came forward and introduced: "Brother Bao, these two are You... Grandma You's sisters, who are here to visit us."

Hearing Baochai call You Shi Grandma You, Jia Mu didn't say much. And when Eryou heard Baochai introduce them, he also bowed immediately. After all, Jia Mu was the concubine of Rongguo Duke's house.

Position is very important and they cannot be rude...

Jia Mu nodded, looking at Baoyu's eyes shining, thinking that Baoyu had been in a lot of pain during these days, so there was no need to be harsh, which chilled Baoyu's heart. After thinking for a moment, she said: "We are going to Tianxiang Pavilion to listen to a play. You guys?"

Come along and join in the fun."

Hearing Jia's mother inviting her two sisters, Baoyu suddenly became energetic and said enthusiastically: "There is a Jiangnan opera troupe in Xianglou that day. Let's go together to have a fun time."

Eryou was moved. They had known that Tianxiang Tower was busy earlier, but it was a place where the ladies in the mansion went. It was not something they could go to. Even if they were moved, there was nothing they could do about it. But today, Jia Mu invited her, and it was just a good time to take advantage of it.

Take this opportunity to check it out.

However, Eryou was not stupid. He turned his head and looked at Youshi, waiting for her instructions!!!

Youshi looked embarrassed. She originally wanted to say hello and leave, but she didn't expect Jia Mu to invite her. She couldn't refuse her face, so Youshi responded: "It's rare for an old lady to be so elegant and join in."

join in the fun."

Eryou was excited when he heard that You agreed, but no matter how excited he was, it couldn't be compared to someone whose eyes were shining...
