When Grandma Liu became Mother Jia

"Sister Feng, why is this dish so expensive? Could it be that someone has fooled you. Go back and look it up, it's a lot of money in one day." Listening to Wang Xifeng's vegetable prices, Grandma Liu's heart ached to death. How could this dish be available? It’s so expensive, it’s really such a price, how can a small household live a life.

Wang Xifeng has always loved money. Hearing what Grandma Liu said, she frowned. Could it be that the slaves are filling their own pockets? She rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "Old Ancestor, don't worry, I will check it later. You said. But we are at the feet of the emperor, so it is not surprising that the price will increase today and tomorrow.”

"That's right, it's really hard to spend money that day." Grandma Liu clicked her tongue and said, there are hundreds of mouths waiting for food in this house.

"That's right, every day, you need more than one or two taels of silver just to eat, and dozens of taels a month. At the end of the month, you have to pay the slave master a monthly silver, at least 300 taels. It's cold and hot in four seasons. Clothes cost a lot of money, and from time to time I have to buy some rare goods for the young masters and ladies in the mansion. These are not bad. When the relatives get married, celebrate birthdays, and children's baptisms, it is another sum of money. The two masters are outside Human relations are also a sum of money, and if you calculate it, 1 taels a year is not enough to spend. This money is like running water, just like this, just seeing the flow of money." When it comes to money, Wang Xifeng also feels distressed It's true, these years she has contributed a lot to the dowry, and it's rare for the old lady to ask, so she has to cry and cry poorly, and ask for some benefits from the old lady to go back.

"Hey, it's just that there is no shortage of any of these. There are several Zhuangzi in the house, so why is the harvest not good?" Grandma Liu asked concerned.There are several Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Jia’s mansion, one is near Shilipo, it’s a good fertile field, it’s said that it can earn 2000 taels of silver a year, there are three big Zhuangzi and more than a dozen small Zhuangzi. Well, it costs seven to eight thousand taels of silver a year, and there are some shops in the mansion, such as grain shops and gold shops, and they cost several hundred taels of silver a month, so there should be no shortage of money.

This Rongguo Mansion is not short of money, but the expenditure is too high.

Wang Xifeng knew that the old lady had her own calculations in her heart, so she didn't dare to fool her, and said with a smile, "When the year is good, you can get a lot of money, but our farms will not accept the crops in the field when there is heavy snow or rain. Chief, the mansion must not avoid their tax and silver, so that the common people can live a good life. A few villages outside can also support the slaves in the mansion, and the slaves on the village can only save a few money a year." She just said When they married in, they only thought that Rongguo Mansion was so rich, but when they really took over the account books, they realized that Rongguo Mansion had already begun to eat their money. There were many slaves in the village, but the income was not much. The locations of the few shops were good, but The management is not good, but fortunately it is better than several Zhuangzi.The money in the shop can always fill the vacancies in the Rongguo Mansion, but since Yuanchun entered the palace, the eunuchs in the palace have been asking for money every day, and it is not enough to spend all the savings for a year.

Thinking of money, Wang Xifeng felt very tired. She was so busy every day that she wanted to rip off her hair, but few people in the house said she was good, but when they wanted money, everyone was diligent. That's right, let's not talk about the servants below, the concubines of the two masters are in the same room, one instigates people to ask for rouge and gouache money, and the next wants to eat bird's nest and wear new clothes, each of them regards her as the God of Wealth.

Grandma Liu heard Wang Xifeng say that Zhuangzi's harvest was not good last year, and she immediately realized that something was wrong. The capital had a few years of bad harvest due to heavy snow, otherwise she would not have come to Rongguo Mansion to enjoy the autumn wind, but it was only a few years. Appreciation, before and after, the days are good, although it is a bit cold, but it is not without food.There must be something tricky here, I'm afraid it hasn't been a year or two, and Sister Feng's face doesn't look like a fake.

You have to talk to the boss about this matter, he can check it out better by himself as a man, no matter how powerful Sister Feng is, she can only take care of the affairs of the mansion.After thinking about it, Grandma Liu comforted Wang Xifeng and said, "Anyway, our Rongguo Mansion is much better than ordinary people. As for the money, it was not counted before, and we have to plan carefully in the future. Let me see, our food is also worth it. That's great, I'm just an old woman who can't wait to eat chicken, duck, fish and meat, and I will make less in the future, and it will be better than doing those tricks, as long as I can eat enough."

Don't make calculations about how to live, this Rongguo Mansion is a bit too extravagant.

Hearing what Grandma Liu said, Wang Xifeng wanted to reduce her food and clothing expenses, and quickly advised, "Madam, you must not do this. No matter how good this house is, we can't live without you. If that's the case, we Wouldn't the children and grandchildren die of guilt?"

"Nonsense, why do you feel guilty? My old lady feels guilty when she sees so many good dishes and good meals. That's it, from now on, when my old wife is alone, two dishes and one soup, and when the family eats together, one The dish is the same as the head, plus a soup, it’s enough. The slaves, six people eat a table, one big meat, one small meat, two vegetarian dishes a day, steamed buns more, it’s much better than ordinary people outside.” Grandma Liu Said quickly.

Even with the memory of the old lady, Grandma Liu didn't learn how to taste delicious food. In her eyes, even the best things are used to fill her stomach. , don't care about being full at all.

Grandma Liu said so, Wang Xifeng could only agree, and said with a smile, "What the old lady said is, after all, it is too extravagant and wasteful on weekdays. Today, I will tell the people below to make less, so that I can't finish eating. pity."

After leaving the house, Wang Xifeng went to the second wife's place. After telling the old lady's words, the second wife sneered, "Huh, the old lady is really good and eats a lot, but she knows how to save money. Her own saving has even brought trouble to the whole family." I think that when the slave is dissatisfied, how she ends up, you just order it, just like the old lady said, you don't know how the slave is."

The old lady really thought about what to do, and she didn't know whether she was shrewd or stupid.

Grandma Liu didn't care what other people said, as soon as Wang Xifeng left, she greeted the women and girls around her, opened a vegetable field at the back of the yard, changed her silk skirt, put on linen clothes, and tied her hair with silver hairpins. Tuanji, opened the ground with a hoe, sprinkled the seeds, and watered it to be satisfied.

Seeing that Grandma Liu was blushing in a hurry, Hu Po persuaded her in fright, "Old lady, stop quickly, you are not the one who does this kind of work. If you really want to do something, the servants can help." Grandma ran in front of her, and Grandma Liu stomped her feet anxiously, saying, "Hurry up and give way, you have trampled all the vegetable plots that were so hard to get up. My wife is very good, and I can't get the vegetable plots like this." " These days, she is served with delicious food and drink, and she almost forgot what her last name is. What's the matter, after a long time, she still doesn't look like a living dead, she has no abilities, and she will make trouble for her children and grandchildren.

Amber is really going to cry, why does the old lady like these things now, what is there to do in the vegetable field, I just hope that the old lady is curious for a while, if she really becomes interested, this mansion will not become a rural vegetable garden Well, even these slaves have to suffer accordingly.The old lady refused to rest, how could Hu Po dare to rest, she couldn't find a hoe, so she had to fight beside her, seeing the old lady's hoe was deep and the hoe was shallow, it really felt a little bit.

The old lady's farming is a new trick. After a while, all the servants in the Rongguo Mansion knew about it. They knocked on the sunflower seeds and said in a low voice, "The old lady can really make a fuss. It's not us who are tired of this and tomorrow's. These servants."

"That's right, I heard people say that the old lady wants to cut back on her food, ouch, isn't this forcing us to die?" Another white and fat woman was also dissatisfied.

"Really, why is the old lady so ruthless? We are exhausted, and we still dislike us for eating too much. Tell me, if you cut down on food today, you will wear it tomorrow. Doesn't the big queen want to eat too much?" It’s impossible to reduce our monthly silver, and the family counts on my little silver to live all year round. If it’s really reduced, how will we live in those days.” The woman just now said angrily with a sharp voice, long sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks, and messy eyes. Turn around, when he was talking, he still looked at the expressions of others, and he didn't know what was going on in his heart.

"Slow down, don't drag us if you want to die, don't force yourself into this matter." The fat woman spat out the melon husks in her mouth, beckoned the women beside her to get together, and said softly Said.

When everyone had an idea, they immediately became happy.On the other hand, Grandma Liu, after working for a while, her old waist couldn't straighten up, and she beat her old waist bitterly, but Grandma Liu didn't believe it. She didn't even have any use for this, so she lived to eat and wait to die no.

In the evening, when the elder master and the second master came back, they also heard the wind. Jia She cared and said, "Mother, why are you thinking about opening a vegetable garden, but it's boring, so let Yingchun and the others accompany you to talk and pass the time. Concubine Nan'an and the others move around more." Grandma Liu was very comforted when she heard this, and smiled, "It's not that I'm bored, I just want to move my old body, and now I heard from Sister Feng that we have to spend a year in this mansion. A lot of expenses, just thinking, saving a little is a little, there are so many slaves in this mansion, I think many of them are very idle, I will gather these people together tomorrow. I will open a few more vegetable fields and raise some in the bamboo garden. Chickens and ducks will not be all silver at that time." Speaking of these, Grandma Liu beamed with joy, and her face became more cheerful.Seeing this, Jia Amnesty didn't say any words of dissuasion, but just smiled, "What mother said is that you can't do everything too much, and you must not tire yourself out, otherwise my son will fill up all these vegetable fields. "

Grandma Liu laughed loudly when she heard this, knowing that her son cared about her, she nodded quickly, "I know, I still want to live a few more years, how can I do anything wrong. You, just wait to eat the vegetables grown by your mother."

Jia She smiled, and from then on, she accompanied Grandma Liu every day to see how the vegetable seedlings were growing, pulling weeds, and catching insects. The two mother and son squatted next to the vegetable field, chatting for a long time, feeling that people's livelihood is not easy, Speaking of which, this side dish is also cute, it looks no worse than some expensive flowers and plants, and the key point is that it can be eaten. Every time Jia She said this, Grandma Liu was full of pride.

When Jia Zheng found out about it, he said, "Old lady, how can you do that kind of rough work? Besides, if you grow some vegetables in the mansion, you won't get much attention. If outsiders know about it, you may not know how to pass it on. We don't have to worry about it." Eat and drink." After saying this, Grandma Liu snorted, and said in her heart, I will let you pick dung and water vegetables in a few days, and see if you talk again to make people angry.
