Chapter Seventy-Eight: Spending Money
Jiang Yan lived in the countryside for a few months after going to ancient times and then arrived in Jiafu, and she only had two days of family leave, mostly eating, drinking and playing on the street, and she had no in-depth understanding of the outside world, so she suddenly decided to buy an industry, and she was really confused.
With the intention of learning from others, she pays special attention to those daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law who have already married these days.
She is familiar with the maid, everyone is accumulating their own money at most, even if it is a big girl with one or two taels of silver a month, it is not a problem to save dozens of taels of silver for a few years, but no one has ever thought of going out to buy a field or anything. The main reason is that it is inconvenient for the maid to go out, and if it is handed over to the parents to handle it, then the property may be whose property it is, and it is better to keep the silver in your own hands. And under the influence of the male protagonist and the female protagonist's inner thinking, the maids are not interested in this kind of family business, and they will save more money as a dowry in the future.
However, Jiafuli did not prohibit maids from buying industries, and Jiang Yan estimated that the masters couldn't look down on the money of the upper and lower people, and they didn't care about what they did. After all, the money they saved for a few years was not enough for the masters to spend on a piece of jewelry, and that bit of silver was not enough for the masters to put in their eyes.
Jiang Yan was relieved when she knew that the maid could buy property, although she didn't plan to let others know what she did, but it would not be wrong to be careful.
It's a pity that listening to the words of those daughters-in-law, they are just a steward in the house, taking some monthly bills, stealing some oil and water at most, and eating a few more pieces of meat at home, and they don't have the ability to buy their own belongings.
Jiang Yan asked Mama Qian puzzled, "As far as our monthly routine is concerned, we can still have some silver money left in our hands every year, and we both earn money when we get married, shouldn't we earn more?" Why can't you afford to buy land? ”
This is not like modern times to provide houses and cars, Jiafu provides people's rooms, and even meals are provided by a large kitchen, two people can save a few years, not to mention much, it is not a problem to buy a few acres of thin fields.
"What do you do when you buy land?" Mama Qian pointed at her while snorting melon seeds, "Have you forgotten who we are, as a subordinate, even our lives are the master's, that is, you bought the land and the master said to take it away, what are you doing with frugality?" It is better to use the silver on the blade, even if you buy food and drink, you will spend it on yourself. ”
"The master of our house has never liked this kind of knife and gun, and he will definitely not do this kind of thing."
Jiang Yan said this reluctantly, she actually thought that these subordinates in Jiafu were about to become uncles, would they be afraid of this?
Mama Qian sincerely agreed with Jiang Yan's words, "Our master is merciful and will not do this kind of thing to rob the slave's family property." But in the end, it's not your own thing, even if you earn some interest, what you can't do with that money, why invest in these dead things. Look all over the house and see if there is any one that has an industry outside. ”
"But didn't Chief Butler Lai buy a big house? Why don't you see their family worried about this. ”
She also saw Lai Da with such fanfare, so she thought that everyone in Jiafu liked to buy family property. If she could get in touch with Lai Da, she wouldn't have to ask among the servants, the life outside was no worse than that of the masters in Jiafu, and they also had maids and maids to serve them, so they would definitely know the process of buying a family business.
"Can ordinary people compare with their family? That's an old man who has been coming down for many years! He is also the grace of the old lady. Mama Qian lowered her voice again, "Besides, you know that it is in the name of Manager Lai?" He had a son who had been released. ”
"In other words, isn't it cost-effective to buy a property?"
"Of course it's not cost-effective, it's just a little money a month, and it's not enough for you to worry about. Look at the sperm of those people in the house, which one expects this to make a fortune. Mama Qian hurriedly dispelled her thoughts, "You have a little savings, just save it, don't think about those who don't have it, serve the master well, and the rewards you get are better than a year's worth of interest in the field!" ”
Jiang Yan nodded instructively, thanked Mama Qian and left.
She just said yes, but in her heart she was still thinking about buying a house and land.
There is no need for tens of taels or hundreds of taels to buy property, but she has thousands of taels of silver in her hand, the situation is really different, but Mama Qian is also reasonable, the slave and maid are private property, and the property of the slave and maid is naturally also private property, if she buys it, she can't take it away when she buys the house in Jiafu, even if she gets out before the house in Jiafu, it is not easy to cross the road before leaving the house.
Jiang Yan thought about it for a long time and didn't come up with any good way, she didn't have any ideas about buying a property before, but now when she knew that she couldn't buy it, she had the fighting spirit to buy it. She didn't know much about these court laws, and wanted to find a few related books to check them out, but Jia Baoyu had never been interested in them, except for the four books and five classics, which were poems, songs, and miscellaneous books, and even Buddhist scriptures, but there were no practical books on law, agriculture, and arithmetic.
I couldn't find the book and had to ask someone, Jiang Yan thought about the people she knew, the maids were okay, Jia Baoyu couldn't do it, Tanchun was only interested in calligraphy, Wu Wenyuan was still studying in the clan and had never been in contact with this aspect, Xie Jingxing was good at martial arts, and he seemed to be okay with books.
Thinking about it, it seemed that only Xie Jingxing might understand something, Jiang Yan decided, so she looked for him! A native Houmen son, how can he know more than her, an outsider, even if he doesn't know, he can find her some relevant books.
Jiang Yan knew the date of Xie Jingxing's retirement, and asked the people on the other side of Shihu Hutong to inform him in advance, don't find him to go out with others when the time comes.
On the appointed date, Jiang Yan took advantage of Jia Baoyu's nap to leave Jiafu, and when she arrived at Shihu Hutong, Xie Jingxing was already waiting there.
There was a stack of books on the table in his hand, and he was flipping through one of them, when he saw Jiang Yan hurriedly put it down and said: "You are finally willing to come out, if you want me to say that you are too careful, the inside of Jiafu is so loose, you just come out a few times a day, and it is estimated that you can't find it inside." ”
"I have nothing to do with it." Jiang Yan saw the book on the table, "This is what you found for me?" ”
Xie Jingxing asked her to serve tea, and when she saw that she had already sat down and flipped through the book, he replied: "I have found all the books on the law in the study, you can see if it is agreeable." He was a little curious, "What do you want these books for?" ”
Jiang Yan has nothing to hide from him, "I'm going to buy a house, isn't it a little inconvenient for my identity." ”
"It's good that it's inconvenient to change your identity, and it's not difficult with your ability." Xie Jingxing wondered, "Are you still going to use this identity all the time?" Didn't you say that you would leave Jia Mansion in a few years? ”
Jiang Yanhan, he is really full of confidence in her, but it's a pity that he is not a true immortal, and he can't change his way to lead this kind of thing.
