No one can disturb my retirement life in the Red Mansion

Chapter 15 How much does it cost to raise a girl
When Ou Mengmeng returned to the west courtyard, Lin Daiyu still looked terrified. She didn't expect that Rongfu would become like this after she only came for one day, and she wanted to cry again.

"Why are you crying? I can't die yet, I can protect you for a few years anyway." Ou Mengmeng patted her lightly, thinking, "Your father is a genius, so you are considered educated?"

"Yes!" Lin Daiyu nodded timidly.

"Go find a "Thousand Characters" and come back, open a small school, let the children in the girls' academy learn to read, so that they don't have to run around when they have nothing to do. Me, the whole family is kicked out. I heard clearly, it's a family, not just one person." Ou Mengmeng looked at Yuanyang and ordered coldly.

Yuanyang's heart trembled, but she didn't dare to say anything, and obediently agreed.Seeing that Ou Mengmeng was still standing, "Old lady, how about helping you sit down?"

"What do you sit on? The more you sit, the less you can move your legs. I have to go out tomorrow, so I have to know that my legs belong to me." Ou Mengmeng sighed and looked at Lin Daiyu, "Come on, come out with me, you too, It looks like bean sprouts, and when I return you to your father, you still look like this, and your father can't say that he spent 1000 taels a year for nothing."

Lin Daiyu was stunned for a moment, thinking of the bank note before going to bed, and when she woke up, the bank note was still on the table. The old lady put the bank note back in the box and asked someone to take it to Daiyu's room.Or let her nanny watch.Daiyu's brains are not bad, so she knew that the old lady didn't want the money, and let her keep it herself.Now what do you mean by this?
Ou Mengmengzhu walked slowly in the West Garden with her stick, and Daiyu walked slowly beside her
"Generally, everyone's rule is that if you have a yard yourself, you should have four first-class maids and eight second-class maids in the house, and there are some coarse servants in the yard. Then there will be more work in the yard, such as taking care of flowers, plants and trees, cleaning and cleaning." , There are courtyards and courtyards, and indoors and outdoors. In addition to your four seasons jewelry, clothes, makeup powder, as well as health supplements, Mr. for reading, pens, inks, paper and inkstones, books, etc., and your own pocket items, So 1000 taels a year is not too much to keep you alone." Ou Mengmeng said casually, Lin Ruhai gave 1000 taels, he probably thought it was a lot.In fact, if it is really raised according to everyone's rules, this little money is not enough.

"It's so much?" Daiyu was also shocked, now she knows why her mother said that her grandfather's home is different from other places.Such wealth, no wonder my mother is always proud when talking about it.

"What is this? That's how your mother was raised. Back then, she hired a nanny from an old family. The nanny's upbringing was only 800 taels a year. Your uncle is a fifth-rank Yuanwailang. Add some ice and charcoal for a year, and it's only one thousand three or four hundred taels." Ou Mengmeng shook her head, and she walked even slower.

She looked through Jia's mother's memory and found that Jia Min's original expenses were astonishing. Otherwise, Mrs. Wang would not have said just now that the addition of three springs was less than half of Jia Min's expenses.

But now the expenses of the masters of the Jia mansion are not big, but the expenses of the servants are high. There are only a few masters in a house, but there are three to four hundred servants.It’s fine if things are done well, but when there are more people, there are more things to do.It was really a waste of money, but the family was even more chaotic.This is also after Mrs. Wang was the housekeeper, while replacing the previous members of the Zhang family, she also wanted to evacuate Jiamu. Over the years, there have been more and more people. The three parties are all used for fighting, just like the black-eyed chicken, but no one comes. work.

That's why Jia's mother doesn't like Lin Ruhai, and she wouldn't like it either.The child I raised at such a high price was married back by you, what happened?You didn't treat her well, and the concubines in the room were disgusting, and even said that my daughter is not easy to raise.No one can swallow this breath.And Jia Min's dowry is also astonishing. At the beginning, no one said that Jia's daughter was married.Now that you are alive and my daughter is dead, my family has a good temper if I didn't fight for you.

Lin Daiyu was stunned for a moment, thinking about it, "Then how much salary does my father have a year?"

"Is your point wrong? You are a second-class family like us, and you are a daughter-in-law. In the future, you will marry a similar family and be the mistress of a mansion. So, your father sent you here. With this kind of education, money is a trivial matter, and you are afraid that you will be blinded by money!" Ou Mengmeng looked down at Daiyu, thinking about it, how smart is it to think of a person who can repay the grace of saving life with tears?

She saw in Jia's mother's memory that Sanchun really just asked an old pedant to teach him how to recognize a few words, as long as he didn't open his eyes and become blind.Then every day at home, I do some sewing with the nanny, and then play together.

How old is Yingchun? Has the nine-year compulsory education been completed?Thinking of this, Ou Mengmeng felt heartbroken.A house full of fish!Could it be that God asked her to complete this important mission, so that everyone in Jia's family could finish the nine-year compulsory education anyway?Don't talk about becoming a newcomer in Siyou, at least don't harm the society!

Therefore, if it is raised according to the three springs, Lin Ruhai will give 1000 taels, which is too much.Because she just said, there are two prerequisites, one is to follow everyone's rules; the other is that she has her own yard and a whole team, so that she can spend so much.The problem is, you sent your daughter here so far, so you should receive the same education as her mother, right?Does this also mean that Lin Ruhai actually agrees with the level of the Jia family's goddaughter?He saw the results in Jia Min, so he could safely hand over the child to Jia Mu?
"Why?" Lin Daiyu didn't understand what her grandmother meant.

"You have to look at the detailed accounts. For example, when you come, it's the same as Sanchun. The monthly money of two taels of silver, and the money of rouge pollen of two taels of silver, are in your hands in a month, which is four taels of silver, and 48 taels a year. ; and like Wang Momo and Xueyan, one is one tael of silver and the other is five hundred dollars. When you are free tomorrow, you have to learn to pick people, and you must have at least four maids around you. Because you live here, You don’t need anything outside the house, now, how much silver do you need for a year just for your monthly money?”

"Wang Momo 1 tael, Xueyan 500 taels, and three more 500 taels, a total of 3 taels, 36 taels a year. Adding my 48 taels, it is 84 taels." Daiyu calculated very quickly.

"Well, Xueyan is 500, but the first class I give you is calculated as 1 tael. Like Sister Yuanyang, it is 2 taels. Because she helps me manage important things, except for the one tael of silver in the house, I Add another one or two." Ou Mengmeng shook her head and said casually.

Think about it, is there a problem with the salary system of Lao Jia's family?The nanny is only one or two, but the first-class maid is also one or two.They are all family-born slaves, and what they sell is a death contract, and the monthly money is their pocket money.As for the masters, there are not many, so, just like the modern nanny living in a villa, the master is busy making money all over the world, and the nanny lives at home.It feels like the owner is working for the nanny.

　Really, I went to find the book and added up the money in the book, and I suddenly found that it was really too expensive for a young lady of aristocratic family to raise her well.This made my friends see it and criticize me again, so they like to settle accounts.
