Ling Wei secretly said in her heart: Su Yan really hasn't suffered hardship, giving the Fa like this, there are so many people in this palace, how much silver does it cost a month. pursed his lips and said, "Ku'er is a child, and it doesn't cost money, so you don't have to give it separately." Mrs. Xin's five taels of silver a month were enough. ”

She still remembers that when she was a child, there were girls and servants in the family, and even her girl was only 200 yuan a month, and the palace actually gave the big girl a tael of silver, which was really rich enough, and these girls had to buy a girl as the master in a year and a half

Mama Qing said with a smile: "Take care of the inner house, and now it is the old concubine who presides over the feed, and you have the final say in the house." The princess said that she grasped the affairs outside the house, such as the income from the grange and the shop, and prepared the old prince for the money to repair the canal. The affairs of this mansion will be decided by the old concubine in the future. ”

Soon, the entire palace knew that it was the old concubine who was now taking care of the inner house.

The princess is in charge of the affairs of the grange and the shop.

That's where you make money.

Su Yan also picked the deed of sale of the two subordinates of Jingtang and Xinmeng Xiaozhu, and asked Mama Qing to send them to Ling Wei in person.

Ling Wei thought about it for a while, and still gave the deed of sale of the two girls of Xinmeng Xiaozhu to the Xin family, but she didn't give it to Mrs. Wu, she had heard of it. Mrs. Wu's sons and daughters are all slaves and maids of the palace.

Old Master Ling's father and son came back from the Ling family's shop at nearly dusk, and first went to the Jingtang Flower Hall to have tea.

As soon as you enter the flower hall. I saw the stewards of the large kitchen, embroidery room, and miscellaneous warehouse in the flower hall.

The housekeeper of the big kitchen said: "This month, I bought 56 chickens, 23 ducks, and 680 catties of fish in the Jin family's shop. 1,200 catties of pork, 560 catties of beef and mutton, and 2,300 catties of oil......"

Ling Wei gestured, asked Old Master Ling and his son to sit down, and quietly listened to the big kitchen steward's mother-in-law report the count, and was stunned for a moment, "It's February?" ”

The mother-in-law of the big kitchen steward replied: "It's only two months and one month." The Jin family shop is a time-honored brand, and we bought these things in their shop at once, and they were all good and of good quality, and they were all selected to send to our house. The second day of February. The prince made a 100-day feast, so he bought more chickens, ducks, fish and so on. Vegetables have always been supplied from fruit and vegetable farms, and they have not been bought outside. ”

So many things, I ate them all in a month.

It seems that there are a lot of people in this house, and there are only a few masters, and there are only a handful of them, and there are a lot of people at the bottom, and many people occupy positions and do nothing.

Ling Wei asked, "Can you calculate, how much do these things cost?" ”

The mother-in-law replied, "More than 1,200 taels of silver." Jin Ji Shop said, forget the fraction, just give 1,200 taels. ”

Ling Wei thought that she had eaten 1,200 taels of silver in just one month. It sounds appalling, I heard that there are seven or eight hundred people in this palace, which means that a person has to eat one or two or five pieces of silver a month.

"One thousand two hundred taels. How many years has the average family of five or six had to eat. While she was groaning, she listened to Master Ling coughing lightly.

Ling Wei knew it in her heart. "When Jin Ji came to settle the bill, he brought someone over. Let me see, I wrote a note to him and asked him to go to the account office to get the money. "Turn around, and ask the embroidery room again;" Where is the embroidery room? ”

The housekeeper said: "Last month, because the fifth lady of the Ye family took away the clothes sent by the female guests, although she made a few clothes, the embroidery room did not have much input, according to the rules of the house, you have to give the embroidery room a reward, and it is fifty yuan to make a piece of clothing, and last month I made twenty-three pieces, a total of 1,150 tattoos." ”

Mama Qiao didn't understand, so Ling Wei had to ask in detail: "Have all the proceeds from the embroidery room been handed over to the account office in the house?" ”

"Delivered! The bookkeeper in the house also opened a deed, please take a look at the old concubine! ”

The steward took a note, handed it to Ling Wei, and glanced at it roughly, there are eight embroidery girls in the embroidery room, and there are four apprentices, the embroidery lady has a monthly example of one or two silver, the apprentice is not there, the steward is a monthly example of one or two silver and two hundred dollars, so calculate, the embroidery room is not a loss here, but it has not entered, but this month's food always has to spend silver.

Ling Wei looked at the pendulum and said to the steward of the big kitchen and embroidery room: "Be more careful, save what you can save, the old prince is still worried about the silver." ”

The two answered.

She said, "You all go down and get busy." ”

After the last is the steward of the big warehouse, this is the fattest messenger in all the rooms, I heard that this steward was also Su Yeon's companion, a young and capable woman.

Ling Wei asked: "Tian Er's family, tell me about the big warehouse last month." ”

Tian Erjia held a few pages in his hand and said: "On the second day of the second month of February, the 100-day banquet of the prince, people from all prefectures came, and the gifts were also put into the warehouse. In February, the eldest daughter of the ninth princess of the second room of the Jiang family turned one year old, and Mama Qing was ordered by the princess to pick a pair of jasper bracelets from the library and send them; There is also a family banquet held a wedding banquet for the grandson of the Rongguo Mansion, who is good friends with our house, and chose a pair of golden unicorns as a congratulatory gift......"

Ling Wei listened for a while, but she didn't hear about the Weiyuan Houfu family, "Didn't you also give the Han family a birthday gift?" ”

Tian Erjia said: "I heard Mama Qing mention this, it was something that was picked from the small treasury of the princess's marriage, and it didn't come out of the big treasury." ”

Thinking of the string of valuable Buddha beads, Ling Wei felt distressed, "The princess was originally generous, she treats others well, but the Han family doesn't take it seriously." ”

Like in the big house, every family has a book, which clearly says which master of several families has a birthday in what month, which wife gave birth to a son, etc., and they also have to give each other gifts on festivals.

Tian Erjia said again: "It's going to be March, and the second son of the Zhenguo Mansion will hold a 100-day banquet, and he will also give gifts at that time!" The county lord of Wenxin of the Zhenguo Mansion worshiped the princess and the prince as his mother-in-law and father-in-law, and the two families are relatives and friends, so this gift should be given more heavily.

If the eldest prince of the Ping Wangfu wants to be engaged to a family and hold a banquet, he will have to give a congratulatory gift.

There are also two grandmothers in the Jiang family's big house who gave birth to a little master. It is also necessary to hold a banquet in March, and you also have to give gifts. ”

Ling Wei responded again and again. "When you get there, remember to remind me. What gifts did each family give? You have to figure it out first, so as not to send taboo jokes. ”

Tian Erjia replied, "In the ingredient warehouse, there is not much fungus left, so we should buy and replenish it." Bird's nest was originally rewarded in the palace before the New Year's Festival every year, but because of the plague last year, the palace also forgot about it. I heard that the bird's nest production in the south was very small last year, and I also need to replenish it. There are less than ten catties of lotus seeds and red dates left, so they should be bought ......."

Ling Wei listened to this for most of the time, her mind was dizzy, on the first day she took over today, she somewhat understood that it was not easy for Su Yan, she was alone in the house and outside the house, it was really hard. "You go back and draw up a purchase list, and I will discuss with the chief butler and the second butler to supplement it."

Tian Erjia said again: "Silk Curry." Some of the cloth satin of the past years is outdated when it looks like the pattern, but the color and material are excellent, and most of them are rewarded by the palace. There are few masters in our house, although some were given to Concubine Yao earlier, there are still a lot left. It is to continue to stay. It's better to send some to the Weizhou Palace, and the old concubine has to take an idea. ”

Ling Wei thought for a while. and what is given in the palace cannot be sold. can only be transferred to people, "Pick out those that are not rewarded by the palace and send them to the silk village to sell." ”

Tian Erjia's tone was unhurried, "These materials were originally congratulatory gifts from various families, knowing that the princess was young, they all chose the good-looking ones to send, whether they were the color or texture, they were almost the same as those in the palace." ”

It can't be sold, it's sent to Su Yeon.

Su Yan is the pearl of the Jiang family, and she doesn't have any good things, I'm afraid she won't be able to use it.

Ling Wei said: "Then put it aside." ”

Tian Erjia said: "According to the rules of previous years, in May, the wives and grandmothers of each family will exchange gifts, and they will send a lot of materials, and the silk warehouse is full. ”

Ling Wei looked at the silk and satin warehouse, and there were more fabrics in a room than in the silk village, all kinds of patterns, all kinds of colors, all of which were placed on the shelves, and she was dazzled.

Thinking that the palace also held several major events last year, Fu Chengyi entered the door and Qingxia went out of the pavilion, and there were still a lot of things in the warehouse.

Ling Wei looked at her brother and nephew sitting on the side, and said with a smile: "You pick out some good ones and bring them back to Texas for Master Ling, and give them to the wives and grandmothers of the Ling family to wear." ”

Tian Erjia responded with a "yes", and at the end, he asked again: "How many horses are appropriate." ”

"The man wears it, the woman wears it, and the lady wears it, four horses of all kind."

Ling Wei picked it for her mother's family, and it was not good not to give it to the Jiang family.

The Jiang family raised a daughter, married her son in a beautiful way, and Su Yan was extremely capable, which was famous in the imperial city. smiled: "You pick twelve more horses and send them to the old lady of the Jiang family." After finishing speaking, he felt that this was inappropriate, and said: "Don't send it to the old lady of the Jiang family first, and wait until the Dragon Boat Festival to send it." ”

chattered for a while, and the Tian Er family was done with the matter and retreated.

Old Master Ling's eyes shone brightly, "The princess asked you to take care of the mansion?" ”

Ling Wei said: "She has said many times, and as soon as the old prince leaves, he will hand over the affairs of the mansion to me." said that she was only in charge of the affairs of the grange and shop outside the house, and I was in charge of the affairs in the house, which was complicated and cumbersome, and from the morning to the present, nothing was busy, so I listened to the stewards of each room to reply and do things. ”

Uncle Ling could be shocked just by hearing the steward of the big kitchen say how much meat he ate in a month. Although there are few masters in the palace, there are hundreds of subordinates, slaves and maids, and there are many guards and guards.

Master Ling lowered his eyes and smiled, and took the tea handed by the big girl, "I discussed it with Xiuxian today, and now the Ling family is living a good life." Although you were the side concubine of the palace on your left shoulder, you couldn't marry you back then, and as an elder brother, you want to do your best to make up for the dowry, and there will be no shortage of granges, shops, and jewelry. ”

She has grandchildren, and her mother's brother actually said to add makeup to her.

Ling Wei suddenly wanted to laugh.

In her life, she didn't even be a bride, so she became a mother and a grandmother.

Uncle Ling said: "Auntie, I ran away with my father for a day, and I heard that the Cui family was convicted, and the shops and granges under my name will be auctioned at the auction house on the fifth day of the first month of March. On that day, he came up with an idea for us to buy it at a reasonable price. I just happened to add makeup to my aunt as a companion. (To be continued......)
