Chapter 190: The Cost of Education
Ou Mengmeng didn't remember anything else, just remembered that the Jia family saved 50,000 taels of silver in the Zhen family in Jiangnan, and then asked someone to buy back the plot of a few plays.
It was going to be summer vacation, and the kids were back. The school's summer homework made "Dream of Red Mansions", her daughter's scumbag couldn't understand it, and she was also busy, and it was impossible for her to take a book to read with her. So the eldest son got the 87 version of the TV series on a DVD for her to watch, pretending to have read the book.
This pair of seven-year-old children is not a drama that can be watched well, so every day the girl has to catch someone and pull them to accompany them, anyway, Ou Dad, Ou Ma, the eldest son, and the second son have all taken turns to accompany them. When it was her turn, it was broadcast just in time.
She was doing her own work and accompanying her impatient little girl, but when she watched this paragraph, she almost didn't faint. This will know why parents have to accompany it, this child is alone, and it is easy to misunderstand life and prices.
Then let the two sons check the exchange rate of silver against RMB, and then compare the price of buying slaves in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Then it was concluded that 50,000 taels was enough to buy several mature and big-name theater troupes. Anyway, what impact does it have on those cubs, she herself thinks that this book really doesn't teach children anything good.
Waiting for Ou Mengmeng to come, I was still thinking about whether to give the girls a chance to educate, and I had already learned about crops, ingredients, medicinal materials, and housework, which were necessary for daily life. But they are all aristocratic ladies, and if they don't say a good thing, they must be in charge of a family and be responsible for their husbands and children. Responsible for their dowry.
So she looked down on a certain minister in the Qing Dynasty, but he had a sentence, which was right. He said that the best dowry he could give his daughters was the best upbringing for them.
That person's character is not very good, and his words are right. Of course, if the words are right, it doesn't mean that he can do it right, how to teach his daughter? There is also a cost to goddaughters. What's the use of letting them do needle money? Is the focus of being a housewife able to do needlework? Therefore, the upbringing of girls needs to cost more money, such as the two palace grandmothers she invited back for them, is the minister willing to do it? I'm afraid I'd rather marry a concubine for myself!
Before, she was still thinking about how to expose these children to more comprehensive prices. This time it's just right, Ningfu is building a lot of construction, isn't this a coincidence? I really want to come to something. Let these children from Ningrong and the two mansions also participate, and buy twelve minions for 50,000 taels of silver in the future. She beat the person who bought it to death.
Whoever admits to giving money will also be killed, you know, in the book, the silver treasury is in the hands of Mrs. Wang, even if Wang Xifeng wants to use it, he has to ask Mrs. Wang for money. Mrs. Wang saw that she only bought twelve plays for 50,000 taels of silver, and she didn't think there was a problem, which in itself was a huge problem.
Some people say it's because she doesn't have housekeeping skills. She wanted to babble. There is no more housekeeping talent, and a girl like attacking people buys a few taels of silver and raises her, even if she wants to redeem herself, it is only twenty taels. The twelve officials, used 50,000 taels, and then stopped singing, and went to the courtyards to be a little girl, which is the kind of a few taels of silver each.
So in the original book, how can there be a fool, that is, the whole family, the gang eats public and private, anyway, it is hollowed out, and everyone is clean.
She used to teach the girls to do calculations and make charts. Now it's all coming in handy. There are also those rockeries, strange stones, all kinds of flowers and trees in the yard, as well as how to reuse the verandah, pool, and stone path, these statistics, marked with the size, it is easy to fill in the design of the drawings.
When the girls were making plans, even Mama Tao and Mama Che were shocked, they saw the old lady's several kills in the Shi family that time, and beat their mother's nephew to the point that they had no power to fight back, and now people can't send gifts if they want to. Whose aunt's wife can be so good for her? As a result, when they arrived at Jia's house, the two of them felt that they still thought of the old lady too shallowly. People still save face for their nephews.
But I wonder again, you are like this, why are there still legends that the two sons of the Jia family are extremely stupid, and the old lady is so extravagant and eccentric?
When I arrived at Jia's house, the two sons of the old lady, let's say they are stupid, it doesn't seem to be able to talk about it, but they are really filial, the old lady is seriously ill, and she can lay on the floor in the old lady's house and serve the decoction with her own hands, this alone is enough to kill other people's not stupid sons in seconds. At that time, Mama Tao and Mama Che were only left with envy and jealousy, and there was no hatred. I can teach my son
In this way, that's also a cow.
As for their girls, not to mention, they felt that Jia Nushi was extraordinary in the palace before, and now they look at the girls of their relatives, they are all well-educated. So they feel that the old lady is still shallow from the outside. This is an ordinary girl who can teach.
The girls in this family are coming to an age, and they can't compare with the girls in the whole capital? This Jia family is really really, Taoguang is obscure, holding back a blockbuster. It's just that if you have been raised like this, what kind of man will be worthy of it in the future?
They did hint to the old lady, and the old lady laughed. Then just find someone who is obedient and not annoying.
Mama Tao and Mama Che had an epiphany all of a sudden. The old lady looks down on those people, because she looks down on them, so she wants to teach the girls to be self-reliant, and when I am good enough, you are just an embellishment in my life. Or a window dressing, or to put it bluntly, the father of my child.
They are a little envious of these girls now, because they have an amazing grandmother.
Soon Jia Zhen and the others also saw the results, because the old lady gave the same title to the boys and girls, and the drawings given by Qin Bangye and the feng shui master were already very frugal. Now the boys and girls have to make another budget, and then make detailed scheduling and arrangement. The optimization of resource allocation has been realized. Even Qin Bangye felt that this was too good, although this could only be used in the Jia family. If he dares to use it in the Ministry of Industry, he will really die without a place to be buried.
Jia Zhen hurriedly introduced a competition mechanism to the boys, and by the way, told them that there was also a group of secret people competing with them, and whoever did the best would be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver. Moreover, the plan made was selected by Qin Bangye and Feng Shui masters.
In the first round of comparison, the girls won. Although except for Jia Zhen, the people outside didn't know that it was a group of girls competing with them. Of course, the construction steps of the boys are also meritorious, because they have all been inspected on the spot, and each place has been carefully measured. Compared with these girls, they all took advantage of the closed door in the house over there, went in to have a look, and then hurried out. Obviously, it is more practical.
So they let them play a second game, and this time the girls won by an absolute margin. There was no standard size before, and when the boys took the size back, they could kill them in seconds.
And Jia Zhen is very good at summarizing, I give the bonus to the girls, but to work, I take the boys together, and by the way, tell them that the mysterious team can win, first, they are very good at learning from each other's strengths, and secondly, they are more united.
