After the eldest lady learned about the current financial situation of the public middle school, she hurried to see the old lady and discussed with her the standard of marriage expenses for so many children in the house, and took this opportunity to set it down, so as to save the concubines from being unbalanced in the future.

Regarding the children's marriage expenses, the eldest lady thinks that the money in the public school is spent on maintaining the daily expenses of the entire mansion, and there is not much surplus at all, at most a little bit is used to help decorate the new house and purchase wood and other wedding supplies, and the expenses for the six ceremonies and wedding banquets should all be paid by the parents, after all, the only thing in the mansion that is worth paying for all the expenses of the public is Gu Yun, not Gu Xu.

The old lady was also the daughter-in-law of the house, she knows what the money in the public school is used for, the house is now more and more populous, everywhere is a place to spend money, although there are many industries in the public school, but the harvest of the grange outside the city is to watch the sky to eat, and the annual profits of the shops in the city are up and down, the business that made money last year is not necessarily this year, and there are many shops that are not properly operated and closed, so as soon as the eldest lady came over to talk about the cost of marriage, she felt that it was difficult to do it as a family.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law discussed for a noon, and finally set a rough standard, regardless of boys and girls, except for Gu Yun, the marriage expenses of other children, compared with the expenses of Gu Xian and Gu Jie in front of the public, 10,000 taels of silver and silver tickets per person, and the insufficient part was prepared by the parents themselves, and the old lady, as a grandmother, would give each grandchild 2,000 taels of self-esteem, and at present, there are fourteen grandchildren in the house, and the old lady has to take out 28,000 taels of silver from his private room, which is quite a large amount of money.

The eldest lady waited for her mother-in-law to take a lunch break, returned to Jicheng Hall, and discussed with Pang's mother behind closed doors for a while, and then called someone to call Bai Ko.

Bai Ko hurried over, thinking that the menu of the Chinese New Year's Eve meal was not good, and when he entered the main bedroom, he saw that only the eldest lady and Mother Pang were there, with a stern expression of something to talk about, and his heart suddenly became uneasy.

"The maid has seen the eldest lady, and I say hello to the eldest lady, I don't know what the eldest lady has to call the maid?"

"Bai Ko, let me ask you, has the business you taken care of for the prince profitable?"

"If you go back to the eldest lady, you will invest in the production of soap after the year, and at the same time, there will be other workshops that will continue to open, and when the layout is completed, you will make money."

"Previously, the prince came to me and was ready to borrow a thousand taels for production, and I agreed at that time, but now I don't want to give this thousand taels."

Bai Ko stood calmly in place, motionless, waiting for the next step from the eldest lady.

"One thousand taels is too stingy, I'll give you five thousand taels, arrange all the layouts, and use your greatest ability to make good money for the son."

Mother Pang didn't know where to take out a flat box, walked over to Bai Ko and handed it to her.

Bai Ko took it and opened it to see that they were all large silver tickets of 500 taels and 1 sheets, a total of 10 tickets.

"Eldest lady, are you suddenly so nervous because the marriage expenses of the eldest young master and the third young lady have caused a burden on the finances of the public school?"

"You are a smart child, I won't hide it from you, not only the two of them, the young masters and ladies in the house have entered the marriage age one after another, before the marriage of the son, there are still the marriages of the second young master and several young ladies to do, I discussed with the old lady that each of those children is the standard of 10,000 taels, but the world is unpredictable, I don't know if when it is the turn of the prince to get married, whether the public account can meet his full expenses."

"The maid understands, the eldest lady, the maid will definitely do her best to earn money for the prince to get married and daily life, reduce the financial burden of the princess, and will not be inferior to the wedding pomp of other families."

"Also, my dowry industry, you ask Mother Pang if there is anything you can take a ride to cooperate, you don't have much time, you have to save at least tens of thousands of taels of savings for the prince in a few years, I know it's not easy, so the resources in my hands are available to you as long as you open your mouth."

"Eldest lady, the servant asks a lot, when do you expect the marriage of the prince?"

"He will definitely not be strong enough in next year's spring, so he should be in the end to save some experience, and the spring in the nineteen-year-old is the time to see his true ability, and the marriage will be after that."

"That is, there are only three years, and the servant must do her best. Rest well, lady, and the servant will retire. ”

Bai Ko hurriedly went back to his house and locked it in the cabinet with the money box, he could do a lot with these five thousand taels, but no matter how excited he was, he had to take a nap first, calm down, and think about how to use the money well.

The eldest lady can see that she is really anxious, it is not easy to be a daughter-in-law, while she wants to save for the princess, she also has to bear the dissatisfaction and complaints of the concubine, and she has the luxury of making tens of thousands of silver taels in three years at the beginning of this small business, but then again, if the expenses of the son's marriage are his own money, it is really a big face for his parents and his in-laws, only the second and third rooms have no face.

Bai Ko couldn't wait to see the joke of the second room, she now decided that the second lady and her three children were hypocrites who pretended to be high, and they didn't have a good impression at all.

After taking a nap, Bai Qiao also calmed down, finished the afternoon snack in the small kitchen, and brought one to Aunt Rong and Gu Hui.

Aunt Rong welcomed Bai Ke into her bedroom with a smile, and asked Shui Zhen to bring the food into the young lady's room.

"You haven't been here for a while, and you are busy on the side this year but suddenly came here, is it for the happy event of next year in the house?"

"Next year's happy event has nothing to do with me, and I don't need to make a big effort, I'm here for the happy event of the future in a few years."

"The cost of getting married is greater, so you have to work harder to make money."

"Yes, the eldest lady said that the prince began to discuss marriage at the age of nineteen after participating in the spring festival of that year, and there is not much time left for me."

"Do you want to earn tens of thousands of taels in three years?" Aunt Rong understands everything.

"Do your best and let it be the fate of heaven."

"And what do you want me to do?"

"Write me a list of the Ou family's business, I need to mobilize a qiē resource now and concentrate on making money for the son."

"It's easy to do, I'll write it in a while, and you can come and get it tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you, Aunt Rong."

"Be polite to me, I'm also hitchhiking to make money." Aunt Rong smiled and patted Bai Ko's hand.

Bai Ko thanked Aunt Rong again and again, and then resigned.

In the evening, Gu Yun went to ask the elders for goodnight after dinner, and only then did he enter the corner door and stand under the porch of his main room, and saw Bai Ko standing outside the door of his study waiting for him with the cold wind, and hurriedly went over to enter the house with her.

Gu Yun touched Bai Ko's hand, it was cold, and he didn't know how long she had been standing outside, so he led her to the chaise longue, and the two sat together tightly, with a blanket wrapped around their legs, and covered Bai Ko's hands in their palms.
