The important event ahead has been decided, the kitchen sent a banquet, and Master Rong invited everyone to the table, and there was also the meaning of formally introducing Rong Qi to everyone again. Qiu congratulated Yanran and said: "I, I still have to look for a house, speaking of which, when I went back to my mother's house a few days ago, I passed by a house, although it was three sizes, but it was also quiet, I will go and take a look today, and when it is decided, I will move out of Lu on a certain day." ”

Qiu's family was happy, but Zhou's face had been dark, if you want to move, Zhou's also has its own dowry house, and there are also people there who keep cleaning every day. If you want to move, you don't have to go to another house like Qiu's. But Zhou's heart couldn't get down, and seeing that the Qin family was also going back to his yard, Zhou squinted at Yanran: "Congratulations to the third aunt, at this time, I'll go and see the eldest sister." ”

The news of Rong Yuzhi's illness has already been spread, and someone sent a post today, saying that he wanted to visit Rong Yuzhi, which is to explore the meaning of the truth, after all, in the past two days, there have been rumors that Miss Rong is not sick, but eloped with someone to go out of Lu, at this time in the Rong family's house, the sick is not Miss Rong, but a stand-in.

Even so, Yanran agreed to come to visit Rong Yuzhi in the afternoon. Hearing Zhou's words at this moment, Yanran only smiled lightly: "The second sister-in-law should go back and pack her bags and wait for the move." The eldest sister is there, and the second sister-in-law should not go. ”

You? Zhou Shi turned to look at Yan Ran, his face had sunk: "If you really gain power this time, it will be different from the original, I want to visit my eldest sister, and I still need your permission?" It's a joke. ”

"Others, it's also right to visit the eldest sister, but there is only the second sister-in-law, I don't dare to let you visit the eldest sister." Zhou's cold words, Yan Ran didn't take them to heart, let alone get angry, and only said to the maid next to her: "Send the second grandmother back to her house, until you move out of here, the second grandmother still don't go out of the yard." ”

"Okay, good, good ......" Zhou's heart hurt, and he beat his chest with his hand: "Zheng Yanran, don't think you are any delicate, but you are someone else's messenger, and now you are also full of grandma, me!" Zhou scolded behind his back, but Yanran turned a deaf ear and only led people out of the city.

At this moment, it is clear that Yanran is in charge, except for Zhou's marrywife, everyone else has to listen to Yanran, so Zhou's angry scolding did not move them. The maid stepped forward and said, "Second grandma, please dissipate your anger, you also know that this is the separation of the family, and they must arrange everything separately." The third grandmother did this for the good of the second grandmother. ”

Zhou didn't raise his head, and slapped his palm in the maid's face. The maid was slapped in the face, and she didn't retreat, after all, now that the Zhou family has been separated, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to come to the door in the future, what do you do to please her?

There was a mother-in-law who had some insight, and when she saw Zhou's like this, she made a look, and the maids understood, stepped forward and twisted Zhou's arm, and the mother-in-law said: "Haosheng sent the second grandmother back to the room." Before Zhou could scold again, he had already been covered with a handkerchief and sent back to the room without touching his feet.

Yan Ran watched Zhou being sent back to the room not far away, and couldn't help but sigh slightly, this is an extraordinary moment, so naturally she can only do extraordinary things. Qiulan behind Yanran was very happy, her own master was the master of this family business, and these people who served were also rising.

Yanran could feel Qiulan's joy, and only smiled lightly in her heart, this is the first step, these people are all familiar with Aunt Zhu's envoy that day, and I don't know if Lu Dao can listen to himself with peace of mind? Thinking about it, Yanran said to Qiulan: "Did you go and tell them?" ”

Qiulan nodded: "Naturally, those deacons and others should have arrived at this time." ”

Aunt Zhu's daily housework is all in a hugging mansion at the second gate. Yan Ran didn't want to change places, so it was announced that Yan Ran asked Qiulan to talk to the deacons and others, and asked them to wait at the hugging place.

Hearing Qiulan say this at this moment, Yan Ran couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, when she was in the Hou Mansion, although she had also heard the old lady Zeng nagging, how to manage a family, but the situation of the Rong family and the Hou Mansion were two different things. Now, it's all up to you.

Yanran hooked her lips and smiled, took Qiulan's hand and walked towards Baoxia. Before anyone entered the house, Qiulan said, "The third grandmother is here." The sound was not loud, but soon there was no sound in the hug building, and then Mrs. Lu brought someone out to greet her.

Mrs. Lu was originally just in charge of the affairs in Yanran's room, but at this moment, Yanran is in charge of the house, and the mothers-in-law inside are faintly headed by her. Yanran saw that all the housekeepers and ladies came out to greet them, nodded and signaled them to get up, and looked at everyone with a pair of eyes.

Among these people, they are all more than ten years old in the Rong family. Aunt Zhu's plan that day was to control the entire Rong family, so she did not relax on housekeeping, these housekeepers and ladies were all selected by her own hands, patiently taught, and enough to entrust.

It's just that I don't know how many of them are truly loyal to the Rong family? Yan Ran sat above, holding a bowl of tea in her hand, still looking at everyone's faces.

Some people want to say a few words, but some are afraid that if they become this bird, they will be driven out of the city, and then the family will lose food and clothing. As a result, the crowd became more and more eye-to-nose and mind-to-heart.

"Aunt Zhu's matter, I think you have all vaguely heard about it, no matter what, from now on, there is no such person in the Rong family." Yan Ran finally spoke, but what can be mentioned is not what these mothers-in-law want to get, who should be in charge of where, and who still does not move. mentioned Aunt Zhu.

Mrs. Lu's eyes flashed, she didn't speak, and a mother-in-law said: "Grandma, although I didn't say it explicitly, the little ones knew it, but they also asked grandma to show how to manage this family in the future." Also, yesterday, the fourth grandmother took out the silver to cover various expenses. ”

Mrs. Lu has already sent the right cards: "Grandma, this is all sent just now, and the account books everywhere are also here." Looking at the ledgers stacked like a hill, Yanran smiled lightly and said: "I've never been good at reading accounts, and I don't know when I want to see these accounts." ”

As soon as these words were spoken, some people's faces showed joy, and although the joy quickly disappeared, Yan Ran already remembered who they were. Then he said: "I just said, yesterday's various expenses were taken out by the fourth grandmother, so how much is the daily expenses of this family?" ”

There was a person standing up among the mother-in-law, Yanran remembered that her husband seemed to be surnamed Zhou, and everyone called her Aunt Zhou, Yanran nodded: "Aunt Zhou, you can say it." ”

"In this family, if there is nothing else to do in this family's daily expenses, it will be a hundred taels and zero. On this day, the biggest thing is the kitchen, the daily quota of the kitchen in this house is a pig, 20 chickens, fresh fish and ducks, and the daily fresh vegetables are five taels of silver. This kitchen alone can support three meals a day, and it will cost sixty taels. The remaining forty taels are nothing more than some rewards, buying small east and small west. ”

Just a day's daily silver consumption costs a hundred taels, and the days of the Rong family are really luxurious. Or should it be said that the wealthy businessmen in Yangzhou are used to such a luxurious life.

Seeing that Yanran didn't speak, this week the lady said again: "I'm not afraid of grandma's jokes, Rao this, or Aunt Zhu said that day, you have to be thrifty, if you don't save more, one hundred and fifty taels a day, you can spend it casually." ”

"In addition to these daily expenses, the monthly case of each person in each room is only 500 taels, and there are also common clothes and jewelry, which cost almost 500 taels in a month. In this family, the same expenses are these, as for the gifts that each family has to give for weddings and funerals, sometimes the lord goes outside, and it does not belong to the inside. As soon as Aunt Zhou spoke, a housekeeper surnamed Zhao hurriedly explained.

A year's daily expenses, to now are almost 50,000 taels, Yan Ran calculated in the stomach, this is not counting the gift sent from outside, if you want to count, 70,000 or 80,000 taels of silver a year, just like water, quickly spent.

How many people are there in this family? Even if you count all the owners of these four houses, and then count the warblers and Yanyan in Master Rong's backyard, there are less than 20 masters, but this cost is already close to the Hou Mansion. The Hou Mansion can also help those poor people in the clan on weekdays.

No wonder Aunt Zhu is reluctant to go, a place where daily expenses can cost 50,000 silver a year, as long as you use a little brain, you can grasp it all, how can you be willing to go. Seeing that Yanran still didn't speak, Aunt Zhou and Sister-in-law Zhao couldn't help but show a little imperceptible disdain on their faces. After all, she was born as a maid, and when she heard that the expenses were so big, she was frightened.

Mrs. Lu only knew that the Rong family was very rich, but she didn't know that the Rong family's expenses for a year were so big, and after listening to it, she also calculated it in her stomach, and she almost couldn't close her mouth, Amitabha, so much silver, taking out the money can make many families live a rich life, but it is just the expenses of the Rong family for a year.

Mrs. Lu turned her mind in her stomach, and seeing that Yanran didn't speak, she hurriedly leaned into her ear: "Grandma, Aunt Zhou and Sister-in-law Zhao, it's all over." Yan Ran sighed before saying, "I know, but this daily expense, is it a daily one, or a monthly payment?" ”

"The daily life of the kitchen and so on is drawn on a daily basis, one for each month, but it is only the monthly rule for each person, and the money for making clothes and jewelry is all bookkeeping, and every time it is counted, I go to the account room to pay the silver." This is also a common question, Aunt Zhou will say it without a pimple.

Yan Ran sighed and said, "You should also know that this family has now been divided." "Isn't this nonsense? Today is not a separation, who wants to follow the rules to listen to Yanran's instructions? But Aunt Zhou still said respectfully: "The little ones know that from now on, it will be the grandmother who is in charge." ”

The author has something to say: The rich businessmen in Yangzhou spend money like water, and there are four or five people in the family, and spending 30,000 or 40,000 silver a year is called saving or something.
