Xia Xiaoman stuffed the fragrant cake and handkerchief back into his purse, took the key and asked Fennel, "What is this?" ”

Fennel pointed to an inconspicuous box in the corner: "The big key belongs to that box." The little key is the one in which the master collects the silver and the small box. ”

Tiji silver?!

Xia Xiaoman's surprise of twelve points, it turns out that the "original" has saved money, that's good, this can be the settling-in fee for escaping from the wolf's den, and further afield, it is also the original start-up capital for the business. She stabilized her mood, pretended not to care, handed the big key to Fennel, and said, "Take it and I'll take a look." ”

Fennel took the key, opened the box, took out a lacquer box with a small lock, and handed it to Xia Xiaoman for her to open by herself.

Xia Xiaoman opened the box and saw that there were four large ingots inside, and a row of small silver ingots in the shape of axes were neatly arranged. She took an ingot, and played with it as if she was obsessed, this is the first time in her life to take an ingot, ingot, it feels good...... After repeatedly checking the ingots in her hand, she asked Fennel, "How much is this?" ”

Seeing that she didn't even recognize the money, Fennel had another layer of worry in her heart, but she still said respectfully: "Twenty-five taels." Then he pointed to the row of small silver ingots and said, "These little ingots are five taels." Plain hair moon silver is probably such a small ingot. Sometimes it's also broken silver or loose money, and you always put the whole thing away, and make the zero first. Sometimes I also took the broken silver I had saved and asked Xiao Wei's sister-in-law to go out and exchange it for a big ingot. The whole pile here is a hundred and forty-five taels, and the scattered silver coins are stored in the drawers of the cabinet. ”

Xia Xiaoman actually has no idea, although it can be estimated that the price of rice can be used to estimate the equivalent of RMB, but she doesn't understand the ancient unit of measurement at all, and the catties and taels of various dynasties are also very different, not to mention that this is a different time and space world. However, being able to use silver as the main circulating currency should also be a certain degree of social development. It's just strange why the previous travelers didn't invent silver bills to hand over banknotes, maybe they were afraid of counterfeit banknotes?

If there is no paper money, silver is okay, it is better than copper coins! If it's one hundred and forty-five copper coins, how can she carry it!

"My monthly money for a month...... Hmm, moon silver? Well, how much moonsilver is there? Xia Xiaoman asked.

Fennel replied, "Five taels." ”

"Hmm...... Are the aunts all five taels? Xia Xiaoman remembered that the monthly money of Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhou in the Red Mansion was two taels, and it seemed that the salary here was higher than that in the Red Mansion.

Fennel replied: "The aunts and grandmothers in the master's room are all seven taels, and the aunts and grandmothers in the master's room are five taels." There is also an old aunt and grandmother alive in the old lady's room, and the special case given by the old lady is twenty taels, which is the same as the grandmothers in the main room. The ladies of the main house are fifty taels. ”

Xia Xiaoman nodded, it is indeed a high salary, but I don't know if the high salary is because of the high family or high consumption, she asked: "How long is this five taels of silver enough for ordinary people?" ”

Fennel laughed: "It's not easy to calculate. The slave and maid are the sons of the house, and my brother and I are on errands in the house, and we all have the money provided by the house, so I don't know how much the family spends. I think it's enough for an ordinary family of five to live for a month. ”

Xia Xiaoman's face was silent, but she was secretly happy in her heart, she didn't expect the "original" to have savings, so calculated, if she can run out, this hundred or two is enough for her to live alone for a while, and she can still have a little capital to do a small business, which is much better than being poor and white.

She was a little curious, so she asked again, "What about your monthly money?" ”

Fennel said: "The most is four taels of moon silver, and the four eldest sisters in the old lady's room and the two sisters in the fourth lady's room are these four taels." Like the Qingmian and Qingshan you saw yesterday, as well as Sister Qingying of our Eternal Residence, they are all first-class, two-two. Second-class, well, you haven't seen the four second-class sisters in our room, they are one or two and three hundred dollars. The slaves and maids are the same as the pickers, they are third-class, eight hundred dollars. Then he pointed to cardamom, "Cardamom is five hundred dollars." There are also sprinklers outside who are not considered ranks, and there are three hundred, and there are two hundred. ”

Whether this comes down to the social division of labor or the hierarchical nature of class society is a question. Xia Xiaoman stuck out his tongue, and suddenly remembered the pendant on his neck that seemed to be a mass crossing prop, so he hurriedly loosened his collar and pulled the tie out to see.

The pendant was not the jade she imagined, but a silver coin, with a square hole in the outer circle, cast in the shape of a copper coin, with "Yongjian Tongbao" on the front and "Wuji Gengxin" on the back.

Xia Xiaoman was stunned, could it be that this place is so rich that it doesn't use copper coins to use silver coins? Of course, this is impossible. Could it be the commemorative coin ...... promoted by the predecessors? ==|||

Or is it really a time-traveling prop? Xia Xiaoman suddenly felt a little chill and shivered slightly.

When Fennel saw it, she said that she was cold, so she hurriedly took the little jacket and put it on her, and blamed herself: "It's all the slave's negligence that made the master cold." ”

Xia Xiaoman shook her head, there seemed to be a warm wall in this room, the temperature was not low, and she was sitting in the quilt again, and she didn't feel cold. Because Fennel happened to be standing beside her, she held up the silver coin to Fennel and said, "...... this?" ”

Fennel looked at it and said with a smile: "This silver coin has always been carried by the master, and I have seen it when the master came to serve you as a slave, so I think it was given by your elders." ”

I heard that the "original" has been wearing it, and Xia Xiaoman is more or less stable. She knew that the gold and silver coins were usually given by the elders to children to play with or on Chinese New Year's Eve. Take this coin and look carefully, see that the surface is very smooth, and the red rope worn is almost out of color, I think I have been wearing it for a long time.

"Yongjian is ......?" She asked.

Fennel replied: "It is the name of the year of the first emperor." ”

This year is the eighteenth year of Yongning, and this body is twenty years old, so the "original" should have been born in the Yongjian period. This piece has the year name of "Yongjian", which is about the "original" version of the "original" when it was a baby, and the parents gave it something like a longevity lock.

Xia Xiaoman rubbed his hand casually, "This...... How much does it weigh? ”

It was the first time for fennel to touch the master's close-fitting silver bill, so she took it and checked it, saying: "Generally, it is about five or seven coins of gold and silver poured into a bill." Master, you have to get seven dollars. ”

Xia Xiaoman smiled, held the basket in his hand and warmed it up, and stuffed it back into his clothes, since it was a "similar longevity lock" given by the elders, then continue to wear it, I hope it can play an effective role and bless her with a long life.

Amen.

Well, ,—— breakfast, judging from the time, it's lunch, and it's still a porridge side dish, but because Xia Xiaoman specially instructed not to cook it too badly, this time the porridge is still quite good, drink it while it's hot, it's very warm.

Xia Xiaoman was quite satisfied with the softness and hardness of this bowl of porridge, and even more satisfied with the three meals a day system in this world, she was still a little worried that it was two meals a day like ancient China, so she would be very unaccustomed to it, and now it would be much better to have lunch. I don't know if it was the impetus of the crossing senior, Xia Xiaoman was grateful to the crossing senior for the first time.

Soon, she began to complain again about the time she had just traveled through the past ten minutes - how could he not destroy the feudal society all at once.

Because, the wolf-like grandmother-like Granny Zhou, who is the old lady's companion, came to inform Xia Xiaoman and asked her to serve the New Year today.

"If my aunt and grandmother forget how to do it, they will all look at the green cherry blossoms and pick them." Grandma Wolf said with a smile.

Please, my mother has only been in a coma for three days with hunger, and now that my strength has not recovered, you will let me start work?! If you have no humanity, you have to let me recuperate for two days. Of course, these Xia Xiaoman just scolded secretly in his heart, and he still had to deal with it.

Sent away Granny Zhou, where Xia Xiaoman sat sulking, she felt a little uneasy, she didn't serve the sick number, she was bedridden for more than two months before her mother died, and she had been serving; When her ex-boyfriend had appendicitis surgery, she also stayed in the hospital for seven days. Serving someone is not a problem, the problem is that this person is "weak", and if there is a problem when she cares......

Fennel and Cardamom's faces were also very unsightly, and after a while, Cardamom muttered: "Let's go to the room today?" Today is the first seven of Sister Qinghuai's ......"
