Chapter 156: Moonlight Silver
Li Wenxuan's statement was immediately strongly opposed by Zhao Tianer, and Su Meiniang, who followed closely, echoed the little girl's position and opinions. Zhao Tianer, who is frugal by nature, can't bear this kind of "entertainment" at all. If she had counted the silver just now, she would have lost ten taels of white flower pattern silver.
Zhao Tianer, who knows very well what these ten taels of silver mean, believes that an ordinary family of five people can have fish and meat for a year. Su Meiniang, who also couldn't bear this kind of gambling, said that she brought a sum of private money when she entered Li's house, but she couldn't withstand such squandering and abuse. In addition, I am a beginner, and it is not a strange thing to lose a three, five hundred taels of silver after a mahjong game.
Su Meiniang's eyes noticed that Lin Ruoxi, who was sitting opposite her, was calm and composed, without the slightest hint of wanting to object. She knows that the other party has a lot of dowry and a thick family background, so it doesn't matter at all. For myself, that's all there is to it, and I am bankrupt. As a woman, she always likes to keep a little silver by her side in case of emergency.
Li Wenxuan, who wanted to achieve his goal from the beginning, saw that the slaves and maids in the family had been reformed and adjusted accordingly, so the main members of his family still needed to keep pace with the times. With a slight smile, he immediately threw out the plan that he had already brewed and said, "So be it!" From this day forward, each of you shall have fifty taels of silver per month. ”
"Even if it's fifty-two months, people can't stand you coming like this." understands that fifty taels of silver is already a lot of Zhao Tian'er, and even more aware that his monthly silver is not enough to play mahjong for half an hour, it is completely possible that there is no way.
Su Meiniang, who was firmly standing in the same trench as her, objected: "You said that you were giving us monthly silver, but in fact it doesn't mean that you didn't give a sample." It's a bald man's head with lice that you have changed your way and taken back the money you sent to us. ”
"Don't be in a hurry, listen to what I've to say." After Li Wenxuan motioned to the little girl to remove the extra clothes on her body, he explained in no hurry: "We all eat in a pot, so this fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders." If I really want to win your money, then you men are too much of a failure. Today, we're just going to have a casual game. There is no doubt that I will win. No matter how much you win, it will be divided into three points and returned to you. Of course, if any of you loses the most, there will naturally be an additional allowance from me. Not only today, but also in the future. ”
Su Meiniang, who was relieved all of a sudden, gently patted her chest with her right hand, and sneered: "Death, don't say it sooner." It hurt the slave family to panic for a while. I thought you were going to win our sisters' money and go out of the river to spend the days drinking! Since you have said so, then the slave family has nothing to object to. ”
Zhao Tian'er, who has lost a supporter, also knows that Lin Ruoxi has a lot of private money, so she can not care about this at all. Although she didn't like this kind of play in her heart, when she saw that there was no one standing with her, she no longer insisted on objecting: "Since the two sisters don't object, then I won't say anything anymore." ”
Li Wenxuan, who was smiling, said evenly: "That's right." We are a family, and we should be on the same page. If I can't play with you, you three sisters can have fun together. The husband really wants to know, who among you is the pumpkin and who is the pig? ”
Zhao Tian'er, Lin Ruoxi, and Su Meiniang suddenly said in unison: "You are the pumpkin, you are the pig." After saying that, the three of them laughed in unison.
Li Wenxuan, who didn't care at all, continued: "I can talk to you in advance. The fifty taels of silver are each of your pocket money. If you run out of money this month, you'll have to wait for the next month. ”
Lin Ruoxi, who would not put the fifty-two months of silver in his eyes at all, understood that his purpose in doing this was nothing more than to show that his bowl of water was level. didn't give anyone less because of the three of them's respective wives and concubines. She felt that it was so good, and she couldn't find any reason to object.
Su Meiniang, who is in charge of all the expenses in the house, is really a woman with a clear distinction between public and private. She didn't move the money into her private money because she controlled the money in the house. Su Meiniang, who is one and two, in order to show that she will not be said by others to use the convenience in her hands for personal gain in the future, she offered to find a bookkeeper to replace her and manage the daily money expenditure accounts at home.
Li Wenxuan, who expressed her support, understood that the purpose of her doing this was to avoid misunderstanding between Gua Tian and Li Xia, and praised it: "Since Mei Niang took the initiative to propose it, then let's do it!" From now on, our family's expenses will not be as muddy as in the past. Use more and use less, all of them are clear and clear. Do you want to see who is the best at running the house, and who is the most likely at losing? ”
Zhao Tian'er, who had taken off her extra clothes, folded her fingers, smiled and said to herself: "How can you spend so much silver in a month?" If you save forty-nine taels of silver every month, then in a year it will be five hundred and eighty-eight taels of silver. Oh, my God! Hehe, then I'm going to make a fortune. ”
Li Wenxuan, who really didn't hear what she was talking about, asked casually, "What are you talking about?" Why don't you be quieter so that we can all listen carefully and understand? Zhao Tian'er, who showed two rows of big white teeth, did not hide it, but generously retold what she said to herself.
Su Meiniang, who was smiling happily, gave a thumbs up to her right hand and exclaimed: "You spend one or two taels of silver a month, which is too outrageous." There is more than this amount of silver spent on rouge gouache every month. This does not include the cost of new clothes and new jewellery. Tian'er, how do you use it, why don't you talk to me, so that I can learn it? lest you be called a loser. ”
"Brother Wen Xuan, I said that I don't want to apply grease and red, it is naturally beautiful." Zhao Tian'er, who didn't plan to spend on rouge gouache anymore, said with a pure smile: "As for new clothes and jewelry, I don't think it's necessary." I've done a lot of it these days. In a few years, clothes will definitely not be worn out, and jewelry can be worn or not, so there is no need to keep a lot around. So, there's no need to make new clothes and buy jewelry. ”
looked at Su Meiniang, who was very attentive to Lin Ruoxi opposite her, and was worried that she would laugh shamefully, after all, she really responded to that sentence and couldn't get on the stage. Today, as a woman of Li Wenxuan, she dresses rich and decent, not only for her own good looks, but also for his face. Fifty taels of silver was more than enough for her, except for those necessary expenses.
Ever since I saw Su Meiniang dressed by Lin Ruoxi, and then looked at her outfits, I was really ashamed of myself. Jewelry, clothes, and even rouge gouache used in the interior of weekdays...... are not on the same level as each other. She was still thinking about how to effectively improve her grade and taste, but unexpectedly, Zhao Tianer came to do the opposite.
Li Wenxuan, who was told by his own little girl, felt that he was so corrupt and degenerate, and said: "Tian'er, are you too picky." You are just a young age, and it is natural for you to be good to yourself, and you don't need to be like this at all. When you see beautiful jewelry and beautiful clothes, you can buy them back if you want to. If you don't wear it at this time, you don't need it, when will you stay? ”
Zhao Tian'er, who blinked her eyes several times, didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her, and said reasonably: "I think it's already very good." If you spend one tael of silver a month, one year is one or twelve taels of silver, which is equal to the sum of all the monthly silver of a year as a third-class maid spring peach, that is, the annual expenses of an ordinary family are more. I'm still wondering if I can compress it a little more and spend less. ”
Li Wenxuan, who was speechless on the spot, really felt that marrying her as a regular wife did not regret it at all, after all, he fully met the standards of marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous wife. I have seen such savings, and it is the first time I have seen such savings. If you don't have that spending power, you won't have to say much. He knew that one tael of silver was equal to three hundred yuan in the future.
Although the purchasing power of the Ming Dynasty is not the same as that in the future, just think about the era of high prices that you have lived in, what can you buy for 300 yuan? What made Li Wenxuan unbearable the most was Zhao Tian'er, and she had to compress one or two pieces of silver, which meant that she couldn't use her pocket money of 300 yuan a month. He knew very well that in later generations, an ordinary person would pay more than 300 yuan a month for cigarettes.
Li Wenxuan, who deeply felt that Zhao Tianer was not thrifty, completely believed that she was abusing herself, and couldn't encourage her to consume with laughter: "Little girl, I know that you are very frugal on weekdays, but thrift can't be like this." In this regard, even if I don't let you refer to Ruoxi more, and you have to learn Mei Niang from me! ”
Su Meiniang, who couldn't help but also began to help, persuaded bitterly: "You are Wenxuan's wife, the master of the Li family, don't be as good as the maids in our house." Why don't you ask these four maids standing next to us, will they have enough money to spend every month in the future? ”
Zhao Tian'er, who seemed indifferent, did not turn around and ask Qiu Yue and the others, but had her own set of theories: "I am already married to Brother Wen Xuan, so I don't need to dress up anymore." ”
Li Wenxuan, who understood it, sighed and said: "It turns out that the root cause of Chinese women being too lazy to clean up after getting married starts here. ”
