"Feng girl, I owe a lot to you, my family has been unable to make ends meet for several years." Mrs. Wang sighed: "Relatives of the family come and go, and gifts are always indispensable. Your sister Lin's dowry was done by your aunt (Aunt Xue) and the old lady together, how can I ask for it. ”

Jiafu's account book, in fact, has been unable to make ends meet since Wang Xifeng became the master of the house, and the masters do not know how to calculate, and they spend extravagantly, and the second is the layers of deductions of slaves.

Slaves are the largest number of people in Jiafu, as small as a sedan chair man, a doorkeeper, and a rough girl, they have to take money to raise, and those who are the mothers and mothers of the masters, and the housekeeping forces represent the masters and mothers in a certain form, and the clansmen with low seniority also have to call uncles and sisters, and the means of collecting money are even more extraordinary.

Of course, the main expenses still belong to the masters, let's talk about the clothes first, all of Wang Xifeng's clothes and jewelry add up, to say the least, there are thousands of taels, right? Every year during the New Year's holiday, how can you not add it? When is there a time to reduce? Besides, you don't need to eat with the whole family, a few masters have a party, and you want dozens of taels, right? This is the living expenses of a family for several years, not to mention a master's birthday, which can cost a hundred taels at every turn?

Life is short, and it is true to have fun in time, especially from an individual point of view, but you must also do what you can, only have the money to eat steamed buns, then don't eat rice noodles, and the fallen Jia family has been overspending for the sake of face, losing the lining, so Wang Xifeng knew to collect money in his early years and planned for himself.

However, although Wang Xifeng has the means to collect money, she will not take care of others, and completely put it into her own pocket, and there is no way to recover the decline of the entire Jiafu.

Mrs. Wang's money, in addition to the dowry, is Zhou Ruixiao, who is in charge of the rent in the spring and autumn seasons, did not say what is the reason why Mrs. Wang can't afford to give gifts, but also let Wang Xifeng pay for her to make a fig leaf, from the perspective of the overall situation of the imperial court, the fundamental reason is that Emperor Yongle is making up for the deficit in the treasury, apportioning the land into the mu, and the gentry are one errand to pay the grain, which makes the property of the Xungui family and the scholar group fall sharply.

"Sister Lin is frail and sickly, but the number of etiquette can never go wrong, as long as the wife shows a little mouth, how can there be a reason for a daughter-in-law not to respect her mother-in-law?" Wang Xifeng was very respectful and docile in Mrs. Wang's earroom, like a sheep.

She has no prejudice against Daiyu, but Jia Cong and Jia Baoyu's marriage is staggered, which is a thorn in Mrs. Wang's heart, Mrs. Wang smiled, she laughed at Wang Xifeng's daughter-in-law's theory of filial piety to her mother-in-law, how could Wang Xifeng ever honor Mrs. Xing?

"It's because she's weak and sick that she doesn't let her take care of the house." Jiafu's home has always been Mrs. Wang's mother, Wang Xifeng, Tanchun, Li Kun, and Baochai are just helping Mrs. Wang to manage, and the general ledger has to pass through her hands, Mrs. Wang is meaningful: "Unlike her mother, that's the real lady's ......"

Wang Xifeng heard the taste, which means that Lin Daiyu is not a real lady? It seems that Mrs. really doesn't like Miss Lin, her parents are dead, and losing her heart is a taboo for marrying, and being sick is the second taboo, and after Mrs. Wang enters the door, I'm afraid she has a problem with Lin Daiyu's mother Jia Min, otherwise why is there a plausible jealousy?

If you really compare it, Jia Min is favored by an old lady, and her Wang family's tutor is not like this, it can be seen from the banquet wine order that after getting married, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min are almost a model couple in feudal society, and Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang seem to respect each other, Qingwen in the Red Chamber is like Daiyu, Mrs. Wang thinks it is frivolous, which shows that Mrs. Wang's psychology is perverted and dark, and she has to transfer this jealousy to the woman next to Jia Baoyu.

"I'm also a disaster-ridden ......," Wang Xifeng sighed, and couldn't be a housekeeper for her aunt.

"You can get better from this disease, not from your mother's womb."

"Where is the concubine Niangniang......" Wang Xifeng asked tentatively.

"That's just a face, you count the rewards of the mother, how can it be enough for that huge expense?" Mrs. Wang's words are good, Jia Yuanchun's reward is only symbolic, Wu Jinxiao, the head of the village, also thinks that the Jia family is full of gold and silver, and Jia Rong made fun of it at that time, it was just a face, and the concubine Niangniang couldn't move the treasury to Jiafu.

"Since the wood has been completed, I entered the palace and told Yuanchun that Baoyu married Daiyu for filial piety and to make the old lady happy. You know that I am not very literate, and Baoyu's poems and books in my early years were all taught by Yuan Chun, and I was literate and literate, a few years earlier than Jia Cong......"

"Yuan Chun did this, firstly, to relieve the old lady's busy mind on her grandchildren, and second, after all, they are sisters and brothers, and they are always closer than others."

"This will be the old man in the study outside the study with Cong'er to discuss the officialdom, and then the master came back from the school administration, although I don't understand the affairs of men's study careers, but I have also heard that if the school politics shows a little bit of style, I don't know how many talents in a province will take silver to pay filial piety......"

Xuezheng is in control of the fame and future of a provincial scholar, it is naturally easy to want money, and the smart Xuezheng can do it without leakage, and the career and money are correct, that is the director of the Provincial Department of Education, Mrs. Wang's face is sad: "But the master doesn't collect money, even if he doesn't collect money, more than 100 taels a year, which is not enough to give a gift, but the car and horses are tired, and he still has to take it from home......"

Wang Xifeng pondered, according to Jia Zheng's personality, it was not confiscated money, but he was greedy by his cronies and slaves, Jia Zheng didn't know, their relationship between husband and wife was relatively stiff, how could Mrs. Wang take care of Jia Zheng's slaves, and another one, Jia Cong became famous, and Jia Baoyu did not enter the industry, and there must be a lot of discussion behind it.

Listening to my aunt's nagging so much, Wang Xifeng said: "I just said that the family's money does not come in, only goes out...... Now it seems that Cong'er is the only one who can make money......"

"Hmm......" Mrs. Wang's eyes did not blink, revealing ruthlessness.

Wang Xifeng came up with an idea: "According to the practice of previous years, the wife is in charge, how can Cong'er's money not be returned to the public?" Besides, Baochai is also a relative, and her wife asked her to return the money from Cong'er's book to the public, and Baochai did not disagree, and she could ease the temporary predicament. ”

"That's a good idea." Mrs. Wang showed a smiling face, you don't need to go back to the old lady in this matter, the clan is like this.

As for Jia Cong's mood, Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng didn't care about it, which made Jia Cong disgusted, and they also felt angry.

Wang Xifeng said again: "Another thrifty method, the girls in the garden and each room, and those who don't need it, can be cut out, so as not to let Aunt Zhao complain every day that she is short of money." ”

"That's a good idea." Mrs. Wang snorted coldly, she can also hit the arrogance of Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhou, on the side of the couch, how can you allow others to sleep?

Wang Xifeng still uses the old method, first to please Jia's mother, and second, to please Mrs. Wang, who is in charge, so that her position will be consolidated.

When Yu Chuan went out, Yu Chuan lifted the curtain, and Yu Chuan's sister Jin Chuan was forced to death by Jia Baoyu and Mrs. Wang, and she was more careful to serve, and Wang Xifeng didn't look at her.

After returning to the courtyard of East Road, and seeing her brother Wang Ren coming into the hall, Wang Xifeng Raja happened to come out to see: "Brother will go south in a few days?" ”

The foundation of the four major families is in Jinling, Wang Ren originally came from Jinling, he sighed bitterly: "I was thinking, my sister and I are both big houses, but now my uncle is dead, and my aunt's children are all dead, I should be the heir of the two rooms, but my aunt just won't let me, I don't agree, how many of her companions are still officials, and the prime minister's family is a seven-grade official...... For this matter, it is said that there are many impeachments by the imperial history, and I heard that those people entrusted Jia Yucun to the door, Jia Yucun in order to protect himself, he turned into a book, cleared up the cadres, and gave gifts to the officials, in the end, I have no fame, no title, some afraid of them, how can I fight? ”

Wang Xifeng sneered: "Jia Yucun is really a white-eyed wolf!" It was my uncle who gave him a capital guarantee in the first place! If it is not up to my brother to take care of it, can my aunt swallow the property of our Wang family in Beijing alone? ”

Wang Ren touched Jia Qiao's head and said embarrassedly: "In fact, there is not much property, and some minions have escaped with gold and silver, and some of the management minions of the Zhuangzi in the fields have found powerful people to vote, what can my aunt do?" I'll still help my uncle's coffin and go back to Jinling. ”

Jia Qiao knocked on his uncle's arm with a Buddha's hand, this Buddha's hand was still taken out from his aunt Jia Tanchun's Qiushuangzhai, Wang Xifeng was unwilling, Wang Ren said again: "Sister, don't think about it, I heard that there are still people who will participate again, if it goes on like this, my uncle's family, I'm afraid it will be copied like the Zhen family." ”

Wang Xifeng was shocked, it is not impossible to copy the house, when the emperor likes to copy the house the most, he may be able to copy hundreds of thousands from his uncle's house, and her aunt is also only concerned about herself, and she may have transferred the money and left a way back.

Wang Ren looked at his niece, it was indeed a beautiful embryo...... If it is sold to human traffickers, a few hundred taels should be negotiated, and he has been short of money recently.

Wang Xifeng didn't know what his brother was thinking, but persuaded him: "The third child of our family, the thief's eyebrows and rat eyes, and his heart is not right, my brother should not get too close to him." ”

"Hey, hey." Wang Renwei only responded, and said in his heart: "Yes, I can let Jia Huan be the internal response and steal Sister Qiao out and sell ......"

Wang Ren's eyes when he looked at his niece were a small mountain of silver, shining.
