Ou Mengmeng nodded, looked at the children and grandchildren present, and thought: "I guess you all want to know, why I didn't say it for a long time, why did I go into the palace to pick up Yuan'er." ”

She looked at Brother Jia Yu, and the two of them raised their heads together, obviously, they actually wanted to know, but they didn't ask.

"Isn't it because of my mother?" Sure enough, the purest thing is Daiyu, who has already said that she chose not to let her beloved granddaughter repeat the same mistakes because of her mother's departure?

"Your mother's death is my determination. Not a reason! Ou Mengmeng gently touched Daiyu's face.

"So there's a reason?"

"Yes, for good reason. Lots of reasons! Ou Mengmeng smiled at Daiyu and thought about it, "As I just said, when I agreed to send Yuan'er to the draft, I put interests first." I'm a rational family, and I weigh the pros and cons of a lot of things. Between Yuan'er's advance and retreat, I repeatedly weighed the pros and cons. ”

"So, do you think the advantages of Yuan'er's withdrawal outweigh the disadvantages?" Jia Zheng asked hurriedly.

"Let's go in first! It was a big gamble, and it was possible to give Yuan'er a concubine with the strength of the whole family. But what about after you get it? How do you want her to give back to the family? Ou Mengmeng gently patted Yuan Chun on the side and looked at Jia Yu and Jia Zheng.

Jia Yu hurriedly shook his head, "It's my business, she can't transfer the title to the second room." ”

"Impossible, she became the queen mother to see if it was possible." Jia Zheng thought about it seriously and shook his head honestly. The law of the imperial court, even if Yuan Chun has the heart, he doesn't have the strength, it is better to get a new title for his father and brother, and it is easier than replacing his grandfather's title with his father.

"Thinking about it this way, it seems to be a bit of a loss, and the whole family has sent her in, and the return has not been seen in nearly 20 years? Is it true that we will live another 20 years? Jia Yu thought about it and touched the beard on his chin.

"Don't be, you can't live for twenty years, I don't know, I just know that the Jia family's inner library can't support it for ten years, right, Lian'er's family." Ou Mengmeng turned to Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng was stunned for a moment and hesitated, "That, the daughter-in-law is not very clear about the situation in the inner library, but in the past two years, the house seems to be a little unable to make ends meet." ”

"Yes, there are more and more people, a family, only the second master makes money, and his money is not enough for him to do it himself. As for the rest of the business, let's take our time to sort it out, open up sources and reduce expenditure, and destroy these two ancestors who spent money, it should be better. But if Yuan'er is promoted, our family will have three ancestors who spend money, and the benefits will not be seen in 20 years, but the disadvantages will be very clear. Ou Mengmeng let out a long sigh.

"You just can't afford to spend it?" Daiyu's eyes widened, in the past two days, she has only been educated to settle accounts. subconsciously the truth, I feel that this person is reluctant to pay.

"Forget, you get at least 1,000 taels a year to support you, and then your second uncle only gets 1,400 or 500 taels a year." Ou Mengmeng rolled his eyes.

"Mother!" Jia Zheng felt sad and talked about him again.

"Mother is right, the second room really sent Yuan'er in, how can the second room have money, you can only use the money from the public school, but this can't support it for a few days, it's better to take a jade Guanyin and exchange people back. Peace of mind! Jia Yu hurriedly said, now he feels that this is his property to keep.

"In addition to money, you say, why did grandmother choose to quit?" Ou Mengmeng gave Jia Yu and Jia Zheng a roll of the eyes. The family doesn't even have a brain for Jia's mother, and they really think that when they enter the palace, the wealth in the palace can be brought back to their parents' family? She hadn't read the original Red Mansion book, but common sense could be inferred.

In life, money is not everything, but no money is absolutely impossible. No matter where you are, you have to spend money!

Yuan Chun has been in the palace for five years, according to the legend, female officials have a salary to get, and there are rewards for festivals every year, and she is a female history with a certain palace power, and her income is not low. But in Jia's mother's memory, Jiafu had to send thousands of taels of pocket money to Yuanchun in the palace every day. You must know that the rules of the palace and half of the salary of the palace maid are to be sent home, but Yuan Chun not only did not, but also sent 1,000 taels in.

This money is what Yuan Chun himself used to reward in the palace. If Yuan Chun does not have the right of a female official and becomes an unfavored concubine, then in order to maintain her dignity in the palace, the Jia family wants her not to be cheapened by the palace people, does it cost more?

It would be good to say that the men in the Jia family are as powerful as Wang Ziteng, but Wang Ziteng is only an uncle, and Shi Ding is just a cousin, and no one in the Jia family can support Yuanchun's waist. I have to point to her for the benefit of my mother's family. Yuan Chun is in the palace, and it makes no sense to stay up!

"Progress is the process of the future is uncontrollable. Retreat, the difficulty is this time. Yuan Chun thought about it, she didn't believe in her grandmother because of money, but because it didn't benefit much. But when you quit, you can see the prospects.

With the old lady's previous thoughts, she might have fought for a monstrous wealth for one percent of hope, but because of her aunt's death, she was sober and entered, and there was not even one possibility of her happiness; But the odds of retreating are much greater.

"Actually, I didn't say it just now, enter, if you can seal the concubine, the benefit is not in the palace, but outside the palace. We have concubines in our family, so they are outside, bullying men and women, forcibly occupying people's property, people are pretending to be tigers, and doing all kinds of things in your name, everyone doesn't know your suffering in the palace, but they know that there are people in our palace, so they all kinds of deaths. Once you're done, they're not far from death. So I'd rather cut off the possibilities and save them from getting worse. It's already a bad and a stupid, but it's not a big deal at the moment, and it's really impossible to say in the future. Ou Mengmeng shook her head, this is also the continuation of the 'Brother Demon' just now, and the original family is already like this, so she made a completely different choice from Jia's mother. It's not just the money that can't give them worse guts.

"Old lady!" Jia Yu and Jia Zheng shouted together.

"Okay, the boss is bad, the second is stupid, but it's a little good, they're obedient. The boss knows what I think, and sometimes he makes a fuss, but he doesn't do anything to the second child, which is very obedient; The second child is really stupid, but he is also really filial and obedient. So sometimes look at other people's brothers, you two are really good. I'm old, and the two of you are not young anymore, but the children are still so young, as the boss said, the age of being a grandfather, your children have not yet been raised, and the task has not been completed! Min'er was only forty and left, and Lin Hai couldn't point to it, so we had to hold on for another ten years for the sake of the children, so that they could all marry and settle down before leaving. So we can't fight for that wealth, we have to be stable. Steady and steady, not greedy, not disliked by the royal family, and behaving with his tail between his legs. Do you understand? ”
