Chapter 132: Frustration!
Chapter 132: Frustration!
The new home was settled in this way. Anyway, there is a place, the four of them have a small courtyard, although they do not carry their positions, but all of them are equipped with manpower and supplies according to the grid system.
Xia Mo thought about it, and felt that people couldn't be too idle, and something would happen if they were idle, so they gave them some work, such as the decoration of Li's house, so Li followed his father since he was a child, and he was actually very concerned about the decoration of the house, so he handed this piece to her.
Wang likes to make food, so the kitchen is handed over to her to manage, Zhang likes needlework, and the knitting room belongs to her; It's just that the Liu family is a little troublesome, and if you think about it, you can't let her manage people, right? So let her take care of the flowers and trees in the garden, no matter whose flowers will not bloom forever, so there will be a separate flower room or something in the back garden, cultivated, waiting to replace the dilapidated ones at any time.
Of course, there is oil and water in it, and maintaining the house looks the fattest. In fact, the others are not bad, and when distributed, Liu's eyes are hot to see Li's work. Xia Mo gave each of the four of them an account book, stating that the Li family and the Wang family were allocated money by the government on a monthly basis and managed by them freely. In addition to the things to be used in Zhang's needlework room, you can go out to pick up work, and the money you earn is also your own, but don't use the materials in the house, it's not that you are reluctant, but Zhang's family is in charge of the warehouse, and the things that come out of the palace are not outside, and they flow out and cause some trouble, and everyone can't afford it.
Hearing this, Liu's eyes flashed, Xia Mo understood that this is not a fool, just kidding, Xia Mo is a professionally trained housekeeper, and it is not a joke to take care of the four little wives. Don't remind the Liu family, the flowers and trees in the garden are well protected, of course, there are productions, except for those that can be used in the house, others can also be used freely.
The four happily went back happily with the account book, and let them try to manage the small things in the mansion first, and there were money exchanges in the middle, and they could deal with the outside world to some extent. This can see the character.
The accommodation is the same, the size of the four people is the same, the scenery is also similar, that is, the four corners of the garden, no one takes advantage of anyone. Even the distance from the main courtyard is the same, and there will definitely be no favoritism, sometimes Xia Mo thinks about it, if there are one or two higher status points, she really has no place. asked the eighth child about this, and the eighth child gave her a blank look, ignored her and went out. Xia Mo smiled and arranged it, thinking that even if she dared to do so, she would kill him first. These four are also rewarded by the ladies, and they entered the house before marriage, although there is no reality, they have to be offered. Later, hum! She better stop making trouble for herself.
Su Ma's courtyard is on the left side of the main courtyard, an independent place, leaning on the garden water pavilion, although it is not the main courtyard, but it is the most comfortable place in the whole house. Leaning against the pool, it is warm in winter and cool in summer. The scenery is also good, because of the rockery guardrail, her old man can also enjoy the cleanliness of this small pond alone.
In fact, the house in the inner city will not be so complicated, everyone puts their minds on the Zhuangzi outside the city, as the so-called bun has meat not on the pleats, and the old eight is afraid that others will not know that he has culture, so he did everything when he was designed.
Xia Mo had no intention of enjoying the "culture" of the eighth child in the house, she was very busy, took her dowry list, jumped into the carriage, and patrolled one Zhuangzi after another.
Of course, this is also the spur of Su Ma and the two old Fujin, a large family has to eat and dress, and the eighth master is only a few baba...... Several old ladies were like magic sounds, so poor Xia Mo's classmates were forced to become landlords' wives. It's uncomfortable to turn around, alas, so many places, and all in the suburbs of Beijing, but it's a pity that it's not 2010!
After counting the Zhuangzi, I got to know the head of the village, collected the account books of each family in the past few years, and went home to let the heads of the village wait for the news, all of them were scared, just kidding, this is also an audit.
After half a month, I finally figured out the distribution of my industry, and let Lao Ba give full play to his ability to draw maps, draw a piece of the suburbs of Beijing, and then put his own landmarks, and then began to be in a daze on the map.
"What do you think? Don't try to buy everything that isn't ours in between. Connected, right? "The eighth is very afraid that Xia Mo will have this thought.
"No, I wondered if I should sell a few, so I exchanged money to buy the house in the front and back of the house in a good location in the city. You think, rent to a merchant and pay a monthly fee, and you don't have to give food or drink, how easy it is! ”
"Aren't you rich? Why sell land? People have money to buy Zhuangzi and buy land, and there is nowhere to buy such a good one after selling it. "The Eighth Lady is not in vain these days, and the princes don't know if there is a plot for Zhuangzi, so they don't let it go one by one, for fear that if they sell it, they will have nowhere to buy it.
"That's right, the 240,000 taels of settling-in fee is not enough, it is not enough to buy a new Zhuangzi, but it is enough to buy a few shops, then I will let people go to Liulichang to see, leaving 50,000 taels for expenses, and the rest are bought." Xia Mo is very arrogant.
Lao Ba's decision to Xia Mo was generally supportive, and he scratched his head, "How much silver is in a shop, do you know?" ”
"Tens of thousands, right?" Xia Mo has never been out of the palace, just kidding, using the house price of 2010 to convert. How can the front shop and the back residence of Beijing Liulichang cost millions of yuan, even if the old man Kangxi is not inflated here, 190,000 taels of silver should be enough to buy a few rooms, right? Xia Mo is not sure, she has been to the countryside these days, and she has really not been in the city, and she really doesn't know how many she can buy.
"Hey, ma'am, why don't you go out with your husband in the afternoon?" The eighth took the fan and fanned it violently.
"Cold!" Xia Mo snatched the fan, it was only April, Xia Mo was not so convulsive, and she couldn't catch a cold by the fan!
Just do what you say. Pull on Su Ma, change into two Confucian skirts of the Han people, and go out shopping in a carriage without the logo of the Eighth Master's Mansion. Of course, I brought the four girls who had just entered the house.
These four names were taken by Su Ma, because Xia Mo occupied the word Xia, so those with the words spring, autumn, and winter in the name of the house had to be changed, not to mention Xia. So these four girls took the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting as the name, holding the qin, chess, spiritual books, and paintings.
The others are okay, but the name Si Qi made Xia Mo speechless, but after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't find a good name related to chess, so he gave up and let this insolent girl who inexplicably offended people for a bowl of egg custard in the Red Mansion.
Before going out, Xia Mo took some loose silver and put it in his purse, and thought about it and took some silver tickets, who knows how much an egg costs now, "Dream of Red Mansions" seems to say that there are more than a dozen coppers each, what if a hen is crushed.
The eighth didn't care about her, looking like a headless fly. It's easy to go out, and I pull the curtains and peek out, as if it's the first time I've gone out.
"Fu Jin...... Hasn't the young lady ever been out? "The youngest into the painting eats and laughs.
"No, I often go out, but it's the first time I've gone shopping." Xia Mo was a little embarrassed.
grew up in the deep palace since he was a child, and when he went out, he followed Master Kong to Mulan Qiuqiu; It's so easy to get out of the palace to get married, who dares to take her out shopping? Besides, it will be busy, and there will be no time; If you marry back in the palace, you won't have time, a group of mothers-in-law! Besides, the rules of a daughter-in-law are bigger than the rules of being a daughter. Looking up and thinking about it, I go out every day these days, but I follow a group of mothers-in-law to take care of things, and I will think about how to be more majestic on the road, and how can I have time to see the street scene.
"Sugar gourd, sweet and sour~~" There was a very distinctive shouting sound outside, listening to Mr. Hou Baolin's cross talk, Xia Mo was listening, and inadvertently saw Si Qi's eyes light up.
"Call me over and buy a few skewers, I'd like to try them too." Although Xia Mo doesn't like sweetness, she really wants to try what this sugar gourd tastes like.
Throwing the change purse to Si Qi, Si Qi jumped out of the car happily. After some haggling, the six strings used four big sons. Listen to the sound of Si Qi bargaining with the vendor. Xia Mo felt that he was only afraid of the chess of the Red Mansion, and he was not as powerful as this.
Xia Mo looked at the red sugar gourd, and glanced at Si Qi with admiration, the sugar gourd in 2010 was ten yuan and three strings. In other words, in the Kangxi Dynasty, four copper coins are equivalent to twenty yuan, isn't this purchasing power too much?
Su Ma didn't make it, so he got one and put it in his mouth, and Xia Mo ate one and put it in his mouth and bit it, and then directly handed the rest to Si Qi, which was really harmless, it was too hawthorny.
As soon as he turned his head, the old man riding outside the car pulled the reins of the horse with one hand, and held a sugar gourd in the other hand to gnaw, he was quite happy, and he was not afraid of losing his teeth! Xia Mo thought angrily, but it seemed that those who didn't know it were afraid that they would think that the young man of which family was greedy.
Along the way, Xia Mo bought a bunch of useless things, anyway, the small stalls that the modern urban management must sweep up, she almost patronized them, things are second, but she likes to listen to Si Qi and bargain with people, wonderful! I bought a bunch of things, and even a tael of silver was useless. Xia Mo is confident now, 190,000, she can buy a street!
In fact, Xia Mo made a common sense mistake, Zhuangzi is not really expensive land, but buying Zhuangzi, whether it is connected to that land, whether it is able to breathe, not breathing, etc., everything is priced, and he buys it all.
And when you buy a shop in the city, what an empty house is worth is just the price of land. Prices are divided by location. There are one or two thousand taels cheap, and seven or eight thousand taels are expensive, Xia Mo walked around, and he knew about the market, and his heart jumped up. It's like pie in the sky is coming to her.
When I asked about the rent again, it turned out that the rent of a shop of seven or eight thousand taels was only fifty taels. When asked why, people asked with blank eyes, the owner who can afford a few hundred taels of silver rents a shop, it is better to honestly spend seven or eight thousand taels to buy a shop, of course the businessman would rather buy it than rent it.
Besides, if you can rent a shop for fifty taels, the flow of the shop must be at least five hundred taels to be able to afford the rent, otherwise wouldn't it be for nothing? Let me ask, what kind of livelihood can have 500 taels of running water?
Xia Mo moved his fingers and began to calculate, a shop of seven or eight thousand taels will take thirteen years and four months to return to the capital, and then honestly get in the car, Su Ma pursed his lips and smiled, while the eighth shook his head and followed, but he didn't dare to be too proud, afraid that Xia Mo would beat.
Xia Mo didn't have the strength to look at them at this time, and now he was very depressed to see a tael of silver to buy back that pile of useless things, yes, one tael of silver can buy so many things, so isn't the rent of a shop only fifty taels? If it was really so profitable, these royal relatives would have rushed to the top of the country a long time ago, instead of rushing to the vast territory of the suburbs to frantically enclose the land.
