No one can disturb my retirement life in the Red Mansion

Chapter 16 How much does it cost to raise a girl
"Then do you want to give the first class to the four, or the third class, and then Xueyan will get the money according to the second class first, and then go up?" Daiyu asked hurriedly, and now she didn't think about crying, mainly because she wanted to know The question of whether she has enough money or not has caught her whole mind.

"Yes, I will give you three. Xueyan has been with you since childhood. Although she is not very good at doing things now, it is just a playmate you brought. I will not move, but you have to train people. Your Left hand and right arm, if you don't train well, you will be a slave to bully the master in the future." Ou Mengmeng nodded, she really is the heroine, except for a little love brain, other things are really not bad.So it is fireproof, antitheft and anti-precious jade!reason?Is it still worth looking for?She is a primary school principal, can she watch six or seven year olds fall in love early?

“那就是加王嬷嬷4个1两，一个500钱，一年54两。加我的48两，就是102两。”

"Four seasons, according to the rules, you have four sets of clothes, and every festival, you wear a set of jewelry. If you go out as a guest, you have to make new clothes and then put on jewelry. As usual, you have sixteen sets of coats a year. As for The middle clothes and inner clothes are made by your second-class sewing girls. You don’t care how much the fabric is in the warehouse. Yuanyang, are they still like this now?” Ou Mengmeng remembered that it was Jia Min’s example, think about Mrs. Wang Speaking of Sanchun's treatment, he hurriedly turned his head to look at Yuanyang.

"Girls are still young, and the clothes will become small after two days of wearing, so we make two sets according to the season. As for the jewelry, there is one set for the Mid-Autumn Festival and one set for the Chinese New Year." Yuanyang hesitated for a while, but still said.

"So you can't go out, you have to spend money when you go out as a guest." Ou Mengmeng was about to be annoyed.Madam Wang, it really is!
"Actually, those jewelry are also a dowry saved for the girl. They are given according to the day when they are young. When they grow up, these are private houses. Whether they are rewarded or used for other purposes, they are very cheap. From now on, you will follow your mother's example. Four sets, 100 taels per season in spring and autumn. 200 taels per season in summer and winter. There are four sets of jewelry per year, 200 taels per set.”

Yuanyang's eyes widened. She didn't think that the old lady should 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 kind of treatment.

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

"You know, good summer clothes are more expensive than fur in winter. It turns out that in the south we weave cotton to win, and there are many tricks here. As for winter clothes, there are expensive ways, and there are poor ways. But summer clothes are plain and simple. You can't make fake ones there. In fact, summer clothes are more valuable than winter clothes." Ou Mengmeng nodded, and sure enough, Daiyu was well educated in Lin's family.

"Clothes are 600 taels a year, and jewelry is 800 taels, so the clothes and jewelry alone cost more than 1000 taels." Daiyu was a little discouraged, but immediately raised her head again. Give 1000 taels?

"I was wondering why your father only gave 1000 taels?" Ou Mengmeng smiled, nodded, and patted her.

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

"You forgot, as I just said, there are only two sets of clothes in Sanchun every season, and only two sets of jewelry a year. And they don't go out to visit, so there will be no extra expenses. I estimate that their clothes and jewelry costs may be doubled in a year." No 400 taels." Ou Mengmeng didn't ask Yuanyang this time, so as not to embarrass her.According to Mrs. Wang, the sum of the three springs is not as good as half of Jia Min's, which shows that the treatment of the three springs is low.

"Father wants to save my aunt from embarrassing her?" Daiyu shut her mouth wisely, and resolutely refused to ask, how could her mother's clothes and jewelry cost 1400 taels a year, but how could it be less than 400 taels a year when it comes to Sanchun?

Yuanyang also smiled bitterly at the back, feeling sad for Sanchun. You must know that Yuanchun was raised by the old lady at the beginning. Although I don’t know if it is better than Jia Min at that time, but Yuanchun is the same as Baoyu. Except for the monthly money, everything else is the old lady. Add to private room.

For example, there are eight sets of clothes a year, but the materials are taken out by the old lady from her private treasury, and the jewelry is also picked by the old lady from her own private house to add to her.

Reading, calligraphy, and piano learning are all hired famous teachers, and they went out with the old lady's post to invite them. Otherwise, Yuan Chun, who was in his teens, raised Baoyu. When he was three or four years old, Baoyu was also taught by Yuanchun. thousand words.It can be seen that Yuanchun's talent.

As for Sanchun, in the eyes of these servants, he was just a cat and dog raised for fun.

"So your father is an idiot. He sent you here not only because your mother is my only daughter, but more importantly, he actually believed in Rongfu's ability to raise girls. Your mother, your eldest sister, go out, Who doesn't boast that our Rongfu can raise girls. But don't think about it, how can we raise girls, and we are willing to spend money to raise them. Like your second aunt, it's really good girls who are useless." Ou Mengmeng sneered Shaking his head.

I seem to have heard someone say that the Jia family raises no girls, but high-level concubine training classes, all kinds of people are interesting and pleasing.The four girls were trained according to the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and each of them has their own specialties. From the names of their girls, it can be seen that Yuanchun's holding the piano, Yingchun's playing chess, Tanchun's servant book, and Xichun's painting are also good. Can show everyone's talent.

But what should girls learn in this era?At the beginning, Mrs. Zhang took Jia Min to learn about housekeeping and financial management; she learned how to be a housewife; and sometimes she took Jia Min to go out as a guest, to socialize, and took her to Qingliu and family gatherings. Restraint and humility.

Therefore, modern people know that women are more demanding than men in the world, and a new eight virtues for modern women have been created: they can go to the hall, go to the kitchen, kill Trojan horses, climb walls, drive good cars, buy Afford a new house, fight mistresses, and hooligans.

Corresponding to the ancient women's eight virtues: filial piety, gentleness, kindness, kindness, and tranquility.Modern women, on the other hand, have a higher sense of independence. They use the new eight virtues to express themselves. They can endure hardships and enjoy blessings. They can live a wonderful life without relying on men.

Also handed over a few handkerchiefs.It can be seen from the letter that the friendship between Jia Min and the handkerchief friends has always existed, so the men also became friends and supported each other.

Mother Jia was able to endure Zhang until she died, and she really knew that Zhang helped Jia Min. Although she hated her very much, she still gave her face as the eldest daughter-in-law; if Mrs. Wang was in charge, Mother Jia would not be so good Well, Mrs. Wang has been trembling in Jia Mu's hands for at least ten years.

"Then I'm different from Sanchun, isn't it good?" Daiyu understood what Ou Mengmeng meant. Her mother and the eldest sister in the palace were built with money, and her father also knew that there were three girls in the mansion, but They were not cultivated as they were born, so my father chose 1000 taels, which is an intermediate number.It can be considered well-intentioned.

　Today is Monday, the weather has changed, I have no shoes to change, I can only wear crocs, add a pair of socks, I went to buy shoes at noon, and a small electric hot pot, so that I can eat hot meals.I bought all kinds of things that I need to live alone, but the 500 yuan is gone.Thinking about these days, I really spend a lot of money.Oh the good news is, I took out the air fryer and returned the leftover KFC to the oven and it was delicious.
