Chapter 308: A Thousand Taels of Silver Every Year?!
Seeing Lu Yunfang and Lu Yunjie again, Xia Xiaodong's biggest feeling is that life is really the best teacher.
After the Jiaofang Hall incident, the queen's self-autism went up and down, and the ignorant ones knew a little bit about things, and the little ones grew up a little.
Lu Yunfang and Lu Yunjie looked dignified and generous, very decent, and had a bit of an attitude in front of the old lady.
Knowing that in addition to being an accident in front of the old lady, I also know that I have pretended to be in other places, this is growth.
Originally, Lu Yunzhi and Xia Xiaodong were almost talking in secret, but when they heard that these two were coming, of course they put away everything that should be collected, and the maids also came in to serve, and for a while, the sound of warblers and swallows in the room was very lively.
After gossiping for a while, it is nothing more than how are you, how am I doing, the weather is also very good, Lu Yunfang first stepped into the topic, and beckoned a maid behind him.
The maid obviously knew what she was called, and when she came over, she knelt on the ground very obediently, with her eyebrows lowered and her eyes lowered very obediently.
Xia Xiaodong took a closer look, his eyebrows and eyes were delicate and gentle, isn't this Ah Qi? Looks like you're going to give it to me?
I sighed unconsciously in my heart, not long after I passed through, I had already developed a bad habit of automatically ignoring the servants around me, and it was clear that I was following the customs of the locals, and I was about to become a vicious ruling class.
Lu Yunfang then smiled as expected: "Sister Xiaodong is about to go out, and I, as a sister, don't have anything good to give you." You also know this Aqi, who was also pampered and raised in the family in the past, and his appearance was passable, so he gave it to you and brought it to you, and there was also a person who could talk with tea and water. β
Can you still speak, is this interpretation flower really prepared for us? Xia Xiaodong was about to refuse, but in a blink of an opinion, he changed his mind again.
It's really hard to say what kind of scene Daqi is on the other side. With beauty and bewitching thoughts, maybe you can really use it.
smiled immediately: "Sister Yunfang is really thoughtful, thank you so much." He turned his head and looked at Mu Mu and Doudou, who were originally following, and asked Mu Mu to turn back to Moxiang Garden.
Of course, Xia Xiaodong already knows now that Mu Mu is Lu Chen's daughter, and it is actually better to stay. Looking at Aqi's diligent appearance, they really have their own place.
"Speaking of Moxiangyuan," Lu Yunfang listened to Xia Xiaodong's instructions to Mu Mu, and hurriedly accosted: "What is Sister Xiaodong's plan now?" β
Judging by her anxious appearance, most of them came for this ink fragrance garden.
I really can't forget it.
Xia Xiaodong seemed to be more interested in Ah Qi, and finally turned his gaze to Lu Yunfang, and asked very innocently and confusedly: "Moxiangyuan is such a big garden, and it can't fly or run, what are the plans?" β
"Cough, cough ......" Lu Yunfang was speechless for a while.
Not to mention others, it is the Lu family, and there are no idle gardens, otherwise those who were sent to 'guard the garden' would be almost exiled.
Fortunately, there was also Lu Yunjie, who took over the conversation and said with a smile: "Sister Xiaodong, you don't often live in Beijing, so you may not know." Such a large garden, of course, cannot fly or run, but it is also necessary to use silver to put it there. β
Doesn't that mean that we don't understand the old hat? Xia Xiaodong just smiled and listened.
Between Lu Yunjie stretched out her white and tender little hand, and calculated the accounts for Xia Xiaodong very intimately: "The garden can't be abandoned, the flowers and trees have to be taken care of, pruned, watered and fertilized, and there are many things to do, and the gardeners need several." Moxiangyuan is famous for its collection of books, and the book pavilion must be cleaned by someone, and when the weather is good, the books must be moved out to dry ......"
Lu Yunjie said a lot, and finally concluded: "With the monthly silver for these people's diet, plus the various expenses of the house, it will cost thousands of silver in a year!" β
"......" Xia Xiaodong didn't speak, just looked at Lu Yunjie, her eyes full of doubts.
What about thousands?
"......" Lu Yunjie didn't expect Xia Xiaodong to understand, so she had to continue: "You are gone, you don't know when you will come back, do you still have to leave the silver for those minions to spend?" If you don't keep money, if it's short for a while, those people will inevitably get into trouble, why bother to keep such a tail? It's better to sell it, save worry and trouble. β
"Leave the silver?" Xia Xiaodong was still very naΓ―ve and confused and asked, "What kind of silver do you keep?" β
Dare to say so much in vain just now? Lu Yunjie was angry, and after a while, she said: "It's the money that the people in the garden eat, drink, wear, and maintain the garden!" β
"Do you need to keep any more money for these?" Xia Xiaodong turned his head to look at Lu Yunzhi: "I see that Lu Chen and Qiu Juan are quite honest, are you lying to me?" β
When Lu Yunfang heard the word 'deception', she was in good spirits, and without waiting for Lu Yunzhi to speak, she hurriedly said: "Sister Xiaodong, you have always been generous, and you never care about the minions. You must know that those individuals are all themselves in their hearts, and how many of them have their masters in their hearts? Don't just look at the surface! It's better to bring people with the garden and sell them together to save trouble. β
"Sister Yunfang, do you want to buy it?" Xia Xiaodong's beautiful eyes widened and winked at Lu Yunfang.
"Uh......" As soon as he finished encouraging people to sell the garden, he said that he wanted to buy it, which didn't seem very good.
And last time I wanted to buy this ink fragrance garden, I got it back and forth, but I didn't take advantage of it, but I made the five rooms less than a wooden hall, and I had to make up for it in my long room. Now that the old things are brought up again, Lu Yunfang is actually a little unconfident in his heart.
"Well, Sister Xiaodong, that's the case." Lu Yunjie dutifully took over the responsibility of commentary: "Since the beginning of the year, it has been ...... In that case, Wang Hanlin's family's attitude has also changed a lot. Originally, the wedding date at the end of this month was good, but Wang Hanlin had to prepare for the deputy chief exam of Chunqiu, and he had no time to prepare, so he postponed it for two months. β
Saying that, Lu Yunjie said indignantly: "Could it be that his family only learned that Wang Hanlin was going to be the deputy chief examiner in the past few days?" Besides, to prepare for the marriage, it is enough to have a wife to handle it. This is clearly an excuse. In two months, maybe I will say that the spring festival will be released, and the new science and technology scholars will come to worship the teacher, etc., and there is no excuse yet. β
"Ahem." Lu Yunfang is obviously not happy that Lu Yunjie talks too much, and being delayed by her unmarried husband's family is really not a good thing to have face.
"So, the eldest aunt is going to bring more dowry to Sister Yunfang." So Lu Yunjie went straight to the point: "Our girl from the Lu family, we must not let the Wang family underestimate it!" β
"Sister Xiaodong, your Moxiang Garden is in the capital, it is big, close, and has a collection of books with the identity of Wang Hanlin's family readers, and there are plum blossoms that are elegant and beautiful. Since you are leaving, it is better to give it to Sister Yunfang, and Sister Yunfang will naturally not treat you badly. β
Isn't it just that we have a connotation for the low-key luxury of this garden?
