She had stopped crying on her own. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe girl's voice outside was not small, and there was some eagerness in her voice. She heard it all, and she lifted the quilt and got up. She didn't care about the ugly face she had just cried, she just wiped her face with her hand indiscriminately, and pushed open the door in a few steps.

"If there's any urgency, take me there. She waved her hand to signal that Pear and Plum were all right, and that they had walked out of the room.

Pear and Plum glanced at each other, and they could only follow immediately. And this time, Huan'er also followed behind.

When the maid saw that her eyes were red and swollen, she did not say much, and turned around and led them to the account room.

As soon as she entered the accounting room, she saw the three old women kneeling helplessly in the middle of the room. The two little ones were okay, as soon as they saw her come in, their eyes suddenly lit up and they wanted to pounce, but they were stopped by her with cold eyes. The tears on the old woman's face were half dry, and there was no trace of brilliance in her old yellow eyes. When she came in, the old woman still knelt in place, but nodded at her, and smiled with sincere gratitude.

The smile was weak. She turned back suddenly, only to see that the old woman had shown her true feelings for the peaches, and offered to give them an extra fifty taels of silver, which proved that she was kind-hearted. The old woman thanked her, but she gave her the fifty taels of silver, but the old woman could not get it. The old woman smiled at her, and her eyes were aimed at Erniang who was sitting behind the table in front of her, and her eyes did not show any emotion, she just watched.

Originally, before she came in, Steward Wang seemed to be arguing with Erniang next to the desk. As soon as she entered, the two of them stopped.

"Steward Wang, what are you calling me for?" she already had a guess in her heart, glanced at the tall Erniang, and took the initiative to ask.

Without waiting for Steward Wang to answer her, Erniang, who was originally sitting, got up slowly, and a hypocritical flattering smile hung on her originally straight face, and called: "Miss, why are you here." Quick, come in and sit down, you're just sick, don't blow the wind at the door. You don't have to come here for this little thing. ”

She was really tired today, and since Erniang said so, she was not polite. A few big strides bypassed Steward Wang and the stunned Erniang, and sat down in the original Erniang's position.

She went to see Erniang again, and Erniang immediately put away her surprised expression, but there were still some regretful expressions in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows that she didn't miss if she missed it.

She tugged at the corners of her mouth meaninglessly, asked again, and said, "Steward Wang, I'm here, just say it." What did you call me for?"

Still didn't wait for Steward Wang to answer, Erniang preemptively blocked in front of Steward Wang. Because she was sitting, Erniang could only crouch beside the desk before she could speak to her.

She could see that Erniang was using this seemingly humble gesture to delay a few seconds to organize the language.

She wasn't in a hurry, so she stared at Erniang lightly with a pair of eyes, waiting for her to speak.

"Miss, did you ask Steward Wang to give Taozi's family an extra fifty taels of silver?" Erniang finally asked.

"It's me. She replied.

Erniang waited for a while, and saw that she didn't say anything more, so she had to continue: "Yesterday, Steward Wang had already paid twenty taels of silver, saying that it was a pension for Taozi's family. Originally, twenty taels was already a lot, but it was pitiful for Peaches to die suddenly at a young age, so I made the decision to pay this silver. All of a sudden, it's going to be fifty taels more......"

She had just cried, her eyes were a little sour, and she closed her eyes, only then she glared at Erniang even more burningly, and said, "Is it too much?

"This ......" Erniang Zhiwu.

"Huh, you don't want to give?" she snorted.

"This eldest lady, you are too serious, how can you say that I don't want to give it?" Erniang's face softened and explained, "The general trusts me to manage this account room. In the past, I also wrote down the white and black words in the white and black letters. I don't deduct the money that should be spent. But I also keep an eye on the expenses that shouldn't be there. In the past few years, the account books have been remembered clearly. Fifty taels of silver, of course we can get it in our house. But these fifty taels are to be ......"

"You don't want to give?" she interrupted Erniang and asked in a cold voice again.

Erniang was stunned for a moment, the smirk on her face couldn't be maintained any longer, and her soft voice was also raised, and said: "It's not that I don't want to give, but this expenditure is unclear, I can't ......."

"Unclear?" she raised an eyebrow.

"This ......" Erniang realized that she had said the wrong thing, and immediately softened her face again, explaining: "Yesterday's account has been recorded, and the pension for Taozi's family is twenty taels. According to the old practice, the subordinates who bought it did not need to give their families any pensions in the life and death of the house. This time, I have taken care of the eldest lady in the peach for ten years, and there is no credit and hard work, and the eldest lady is distressed, so I made an exception to allow the twenty taels, and also gave the peach the deed of sale to the king steward. It is said that when the peaches were bought, they cost five taels of silver, and the deed of sale was to be redeemed three times, and it was redeemed with fifteen taels. ”

Speaking of this, Erniang glanced at her, and immediately changed her words: "Of course, this deed of sale is also the eldest lady's compassion, in order to let the peaches go home for burial and return it to them with kindness, it is not counted as the expenditure of the house." Just talk about these twenty taels, eldest lady, you have never been out in the house all the year round, and you don't know the suffering of the world, Erniang, I want to explain it to you clearly. Only one or two pieces of silver is enough for ordinary people to eat and drink for three years and five years. It is our huge general's mansion, with more than 100 people in the mansion, and the cost of eating and drinking alone is less than 50 taels of silver a year. The peaches were buried, and Steward Wang had an extra five taels of silver to prepare, not to mention, I had already prepared three taels of silver here, pointing to three or five people to help with some trivialities. The twenty taels are all for the peach family. Miss, don't you think it's much?"

She really didn't know how much it cost to live in ancient times, but she had already estimated it earlier. Now that I have listened to Erniang's explanation, it is similar to what she thought earlier.

The poor should do a white thing, and if they go to the maximum, ten taels of silver are enough. It may be just a simple burial, and it won't cost a single silver.

According to her original instructions, the king's steward paid twenty taels of silver. She thought that ten taels of silver were used for the burial of Peaches, and ten taels of silver were pensions for Peaches' family. It sounds like this, Erniang was generous earlier. The twenty taels are all pensions, and the money for the burial of peaches is still an extra eight taels.

But that's not the point. Twenty taels were given to Peach's family, which may be enough for these three people to eat and drink carefully for the rest of their lives.

Fifty taels more for them can only be promoted from poor peasants to one level. For the man to study, the two women can also do a small business. It won't get rich overnight.

And the more Erniang explained, the more than 100 people in the general's mansion ate and drank a year, and only spent 50 taels a year? What about the rest of the expenses? For the poor family, the cost of eating and drinking was the most important expense. For large families, the cost of eating and drinking is not a big deal, but in turn it has become the most basic and least amount. This gap between rich and poor is already manifested. The more Erniang talked, the more she felt that fifty taels was a huge amount of money for these three people, but it was really a drop in the bucket for the General's Mansion.

Is it much?
