No one can disturb my retirement life in the Red Mansion

Chapter 44

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

She looked at Brother Jia She, and the two raised their heads together. Obviously, they also wanted to know, but they didn't ask.

"Isn't it because of mother?" Sure enough, Daiyu was the most innocent, she had already said that because of her mother's departure, did she choose not to let her beloved granddaughter make the same mistakes again?

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

"So there's a reason?"

"Yes, there are reasons. There are many reasons!" Ou Mengmeng smiled at Daiyu, thinking about it, "As I said just now, I agreed to send Yuan'er to the draft because I put interests first. I am rational As a family member, I weigh the pros and cons of many things. Between Yuan Er's advance and retreat, I have repeatedly weighed the pros and cons."

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

"Let's talk about it first! It's a big gamble. It's possible to give Yuan'er a concubine with all the efforts of the whole family. But what happens after that? How do you want her to repay the family?" Ou Mengmeng said softly Patting Yuan Chun next to him, he looked at Jia She and Jia Zheng.

Jia She quickly shook her head, "None of my business, she might transfer the title to the second wife."

"Impossible, let's see if it's possible if she becomes the Empress Dowager." Jia Zheng thought about it seriously, and honestly shook his head.Even if Yuanchun has the heart, he doesn't have the power to enforce the court's laws. It's better to get a new title for his father and brother, and it's easier than replacing his grandfather's title with his father's.

"Thinking about it this way, it seems to be a bit of a loss. I sent her in with all my family's efforts, and the reward will not be seen in the past 20 years? Is it not certain whether we can live for another 20 years?" Jia She thought about it, rubbing his chin beard.

"Farewell, I don't know if you can live for 20 years, I only know that the internal treasury of Jia's family can't last for ten years, right, Lian'er's." Ou Mengmeng turned to Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng was stunned for a moment, then hesitated, "Well, my daughter-in-law doesn't know much about the situation in the internal treasury, but in the past two years, the mansion seems to be struggling to make ends meet."

"Yes, there are more and more people in the family. Only the second master makes money, and his money is not enough for him to do it himself. As for other livelihoods, let's sort it out slowly, increase revenue and reduce expenditure, and make money from the two ancestors who spend money. It should be better if Yuan'er is extinct. But if Yuan'er is promoted, our family will have three ancestors who spend money. The benefits will not be seen in 20 years, but the disadvantages will be very clear." Ou Mengmeng sighed a long time.

"You just don't want to spend money?" Daiyu's eyes widened. In the past two days, she has only been taught to settle accounts.Subconsciously, the truth came to light, and I felt that this person was reluctant to part with the money.

"Forgot, you need at least 1000 taels a year to raise you, and your second uncle only gets 500 taels a year." Ou Mengmeng rolled her eyes.

"Mother!" Jia Zheng felt sad, and brought him up again.

"My mother is right. The second room really sent Yuan'er in. The second room has no money. It can only use the money from the public office, but it can't last for a few days. It's better to take a jade Guanyin and exchange him. Don't worry. Ah!" Jia She said hastily, now he feels that this is to preserve his property.

"Except for money, tell me, why did grandma choose to quit?" Ou Mengmeng gave Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng a supercilious look.The whole family didn't even have a brain for Jia's mother. They really thought that after entering the palace, the wealth and honor in the palace could be brought back to their natal family?She hadn't read the original book of the Red Chamber, but she could deduce it with common sense.

In life, money is not everything, but without money is absolutely impossible.No matter where you are, you have to spend money!
Yuan Chun had been in the palace for five years. It was said that female officials were paid a salary, as well as rewards during festivals and festivals, and she was a female history with a certain amount of power in the palace, so her income was not low.But in Jia's mother's memory, Jia's mansion would send thousands of taels of pocket money to Yuanchun in the palace every year.

You know, according to the rules in the palace, half of the maid's salary is to be sent home, but Yuanchun not only didn't have it, but also sent 1000 taels in instead.This money was used by Yuan Chun himself as a reward in the palace.It was also one of the reasons why she could quickly gain a firm foothold in Concubine Hui's Palace.

If Yuan Chun didn't have the power of a female official and became an unfavored concubine, would the Jia family have to spend more to maintain her dignity in the palace and to make her not be humiliated by the palace people?

It would be nice if the men from the Jia family were as capable as Wang Ziteng, but Wang Ziteng was just an uncle, and Shi Ding was just a cousin, and none of the Jia family could support Yuanchun.She had to be pointed at for the benefit of her natal family.Yuan Chun is in the palace, it's meaningless to endure it!

"Advancement is an uncontrollable process in the future. Retirement, the difficulty is this time." Yuan Chun thought about it, she didn't believe her grandmother because of the money, but because the benefits were not great.But if you quit, you can see the future.

According to the old lady's previous thinking, she might fight for the monstrous wealth for one percent hope, but because of her aunt's death, she was sober, and there was no possibility of her being happy; Much bigger.

"Actually, I didn't say just now, Jin, if you can become a concubine, the benefits will not be in the palace, but outside the palace. Our family has a concubine. In this way, their men are outside, bullying men and women, forcibly occupying private property, and the servants pretend to be powerful. , and doing various things in your name. People don’t know your suffering in the palace, but they know that there are people in our palace, so they try to die in various ways. Once you are done, they will not be far from death .So I would rather cut off this possibility, so as not to make them worse. One is already bad and the other is stupid, but it is not a big trouble at present, and it is really uncertain in the future." Ou Mengmeng shook her head.

This is just a continuation of "Fu Di Mo", the original family is already like this, so she made a completely different choice from Jia's mother.Not only because of the money, but because they can't give them the courage to be worse.

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

"Okay, the boss is bad, the second is stupid, but it's not bad, they are obedient. The boss knows what I think, and sometimes makes a fuss, but he doesn't bother the second, so he is very obedient; the second is true Stupid, but also really filial and obedient. So sometimes I look at other people's brothers and sisters, you two are really good. I am old, and you two are not young, but the children are still so young. I told the boss, people At the age of being a grandfather, your children have not yet grown up, and the task has not been completed! Min'er is only forty, and left, Lin Hai can't point it out, so, for the sake of the children, we have to persist for another ten years, at least for them. Get married and be safe before leaving. So we can’t compete for wealth and honor, we have to be safe. Play steadily, don’t be greedy, don’t dislike the royal family, and behave with your tail between your legs. Do you understand?”

　I made myself an artifact for watering flowers. As for the small speaker, I decided to adopt what everyone said and take it apart to have a look. Of course, I have to go to the unit to make it, and I must not use my own time.
