Chapter 16: How Much Does It Cost to Raise a Girl (Part II)

"Then do you want to give four first-class, or three-class, and then Snow Goose will take the money according to the second-class first, and then it will rise?" Daiyu asked hurriedly, she didn't think about crying now, mainly because she wanted to know if she had enough money, which grabbed all her mind.

"Yes, I'll match you with three, the snow goose has been with you since childhood, although I don't know how to do things now, but it's a playmate you brought, I won't move, but you have to train people, your right-hand man, if you don't train well, you will be a slave bully in the future." Ou Mengmeng nodded, sure enough, she is the heroine, except for a little love brain, everything else is really not bad. So it's still fireproof, anti-theft, and anti-jade! Reason? Do you still need to look for this? She is the principal of a primary school, and can watch a six- or seven-year-old child fall in love?

"That is, add 4 taels of Mama Wang, 500 yuan each, and 54 taels a year. Add my 48 taels, that's 102 taels. ”

"The four seasons, according to the rules, are your four sets of clothes, and every festival, you will wear a set of jewelry. If you go out as a guest, you have to make new clothes and jewelry. As a rule, you have sixteen coats a year, and as for the middle clothes and undershirts, they are made by your second-class needlework girls. The fabric goes to the warehouse to collar, but it is not limited. Mandarin ducks, are they still like this now? Ou Mengmeng remembered that it was Jia Min's example, thinking about what Mrs. Wang said, the problem of Sanchun's treatment, and hurriedly looked back at the mandarin duck.

"The girls are still young, and they won't be able to wear clothes for two days, so they make two sets of clothes every season. As for the jewelry, it is a set of Mid-Autumn Festival and a set of New Year. The mandarin duck hesitated, but still said.

"So you can't go out, you have to spend money to go out." Ou Mengmeng is going to be happy. Mrs. Wang, it really is!

"In fact, those jewelry are also dowries for girls, given according to the day since childhood, and when they are older, these are private rooms, whether they are rewarding people or other uses, they are very cheap. In the future, according to your mother's example, you will have four sets in one season, and one hundred taels in each quarter in spring and autumn. Two hundred taels per season in summer and winter. Four sets of jewelry per year, each set of 200 taels. ”

The mandarin duck's eyes widened, she didn't think that the old lady shouldn't give Daiyu a separate courtesy, but she was surprised that Jia Min's treatment was so high. Even now, Wang Xifeng doesn't have this treatment.

"Why summer and winter?" Daiyu didn't care about the amount of money, because at home, she was also treated like this, but she didn't know that the price of clothes was different from season to season, and it was so different.

"You know, good summer clothes are more expensive than winter fur, and we are weaving cotton to win, and there are many ways to go here. And winter clothes, expensive and expensive, poor and poor. But Xia Yi is clearly placed there, and it can't be faked. In fact, summer clothes are more expensive than winter clothes. Ou Mengmeng nodded, sure enough, Daiyu was taught well in the Lin family.

"Clothes are 600 taels a year, and jewelry is 800 taels, so there are more than 1,000 taels of clothes and jewelry." Daiyu was a little discouraged, but immediately looked up again, she was treated like this at home, and the difference between the left and right would not be big, so why did her father only give 1,000 taels?

"I wonder why your father only gave a thousand taels?" Ou Mengmeng smiled, nodded, and patted her.

"Yes!" Daiyu's eyes were red, but she didn't think that her father would be reluctant, but that her father didn't care about her, and she didn't know how much she spent.

"You forgot, I just said that there are only two sets of Sanchun clothes per season, and only two sets of jewelry a year. And they don't go out as guests, so they don't have to spend extra. I estimate that the cost of their clothes and jewelry may not even be four hundred taels a year. Ou Mengmeng didn't ask Mandarin Duck this time, which saved her embarrassment. According to Mrs. Wang, the sum of Sanchun is not as good as half of Jia Min's, which shows that Sanchun's treatment is low.

"Father wants my aunt not to be embarrassed?" Daiyu was very smart to shut up, and resolutely didn't ask, her mother's clothes and jewelry were 1400 taels a year, how could it be that when she got to Sanchun, it would be less than 400 a year.

The mandarin duck also smiled bitterly in the back, sad for Sanchun, you know, Yuan Chun was raised by the old lady at the beginning, although I don't know if it is better than Jia Min, but Yuan Chun is the same as Baoyu, except for the monthly money, the others are added by the old lady's private house.

For example, there are eight sets of clothes a year, but the material is taken out by the old lady from her private library, and the jewelry is also added to her by the old lady in her own private room.

Reading, learning words, and learning the piano, those are all famous teachers who are invited, and they are invited with the old lady's post, otherwise, the teenage Yuan Chun raised Baoyu, and when he was three or four years old, Baoyu was also recognized by Yuan Chun thousands of words. It can be seen that Yuan Chun's talent.

And for Sanchun, in the eyes of these subordinates, it is just a cat and dog, just to amuse.

"So your father is a fool and sent you here, in addition to because your mother is my only daughter, more importantly, he actually believes in the ability of Rongfu to raise girls, your mother, your eldest sister, go out, which one doesn't boast that our Rongfu will raise girls. But I don't want to think about it, which is how to raise, and I am willing to spend money to raise it. Like your second aunt, it's really a good girl. Ou Mengmeng shook her head with a sneer.

It seems that I have heard someone say that the girl raised by the Jia family is according to the training class of senior concubines, all kinds of affectionate and interesting, and pleasing to the people. The four girls are cultivated according to the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, each of them has their own specialty, and it can be seen from the names of their girls that Yuan Chun's holding the qin, Yingchun's chess, Tanchun's servant, and cherishing the spring's painting, can also hint at everyone's talents.

But what should girls learn in this era? At the beginning, Zhang took Jia Min to learn how to manage money; learn to be a housewife; also took Jia Min out as a guest from time to time, socialized, took her to Qingliu and family gatherings, beat Jia Min's arrogance and learned restraint and humility.

Therefore, modern people know that the world is more demanding of women than men, and they have come up with a new eight virtues for modern women: they can go to the hall, go down to the kitchen, kill Trojan horses, climb over walls, afford to drive good cars, afford to buy new houses, fight with juniors, and beat hooligans.

Corresponding to the eight virtues of ancient women: filial piety, softness, kindness, chastity and tranquility. Modern women, with a higher sense of independence, use the new eight virtues to show themselves that they can endure hardships and enjoy blessings, and they can live a wonderful life without relying on men.

I also handed over a few handkerchiefs. It can be seen from the letter that the friendship between Jia Min and the handkerchiefs has always been there, so the men have also become friends and support each other.

Jia's mother can endure Zhang's until she dies, and she really knows that Zhang's helped Jia Min, although she was very tired of her, but she still gave her eldest daughter-in-law face; Changing Mrs. Wang's house, Jia's mother is really not so good, Mrs. Wang has been trembling for at least ten years in the hands of Jia's mother.

"Then I'm different from Sanchun, so it's not okay?" Daiyu understood what Ou Mengmeng meant, her mother and the eldest sister in the palace were piled up with money, and then her father also knew that there were three girls in the house, but they were not cultivated according to the same as their grandmothers, so her father chose one thousand taels, which was a middle number. It's also well-intentioned.
