Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 351 Stressful
Looking at the account book that was brought out and placed on the kang, and then glancing at the many unopened wooden boxes in the wooden boxes on the floor in front of the kang, Zhou Banxia decisively adopted Gu Wenxuan's suggestion.

sleep.

No matter, let’s talk about it tomorrow.

After Gu Wenxuan went to the window to close the window and draw the curtains, Zhou Banxia blew out the candle nearby, then touched it with both hands, leaving two empty wooden boxes.

Peace of mind.

Even if your home doesn't have a 24-hour guard patrol like a workshop, you won't have to worry about stealing the account book if a thief comes, and you can sleep peacefully.

Gu Wenxuan is going to die laughing, don't steal the account book, the thief is too worthless, besides, being a guard patrolling every night is a joke.

After hearing what he said, Zhou Banxia remembered that she hadn't mentioned what Zhou Molan had said to her before in the workshop.

Zhuangzi has been paying, and he can only wait for a while before various Zhuangzi will report the wheat harvest; but shops are different, and there is income when rented out.

The reason why this dowry is said to be expensive is probably because the shop is valuable, more valuable than Zhuangzi.

Don't be afraid, you can also buy farms in the surrounding areas, and the farms can also recruit villagers. If you don't have enough manpower, just buy them, and there will be banknotes in the account book.

But today the emperor still rewarded part of it. My uncle didn't mention it, but I guess he must have divided it into two parts and put most of it in the warehouse of the house in the capital.

According to his uncle's summary, his Xia'er is not an ordinary smart person, but she is not an ordinary timid person either. Her IQ is used to save her life.

Now only the house in the capital, not far from Zhou's mansion, is left for us to move in at any time. This year, the rent of the ten shops totaled more than 23,500 taels of silver. "

The annual rent for the two big and two small shops in the capital alone was tens of thousands of taels. Otherwise, how could her uncle say that the family lacked her as a daughter?

"Ignoring Zhuangzi's expenses, my aunt took the initiative and divided the twenty thousand taels of silver into two parts. One thousand taels of silver was placed in a wooden box, and a thousand taels of silver denomination notes were sandwiched in each account book and wrapped in oil paper.

Under great pressure, Gu Wenxuan didn't know what to say for a moment. The rent is only so much, so the shop shouldn't be worth much anymore, it's so fat that it's leaking oil.

The business she was doing was just a joke in the eyes of her uncle, not as valuable as the "Guards" established in the name of the workshop.

Most of the remaining ancient books, furniture, medicinal materials, and jewelry cannot be recovered. When they are returned, they will be the same as those confiscated items in the Zhou Mansion's warehouse, so my uncle will not want them.

"...I looked at the general ledger, and it was almost on the original dowry list that the other courtyard that had been returned had been rented out in a shop that had been changed before the Qingming Festival.

In the evening, she mentioned that the workshop guard team should not exceed a hundred people, and that it might be expanded in the name of the manor's village guards, and Aunt Lan said so.

After all, what Aunt Lan meant for the contents of the wooden box this time was that the eldest brother went to the warehouse in person, not that the sister-in-law went to the warehouse to pick it out. "

Gu Wenxuan understood what she wanted to say. In the house in the capital not far from Zhou's mansion, Chang's eldest son and daughter-in-law now lived there to help her take care of affairs in the capital.

In other words, there is an essential difference between Zhou Zhai and Zhou Mansion. The eldest daughter-in-law of Zhou Mansion can no longer enter and exit the Zhou Zhai warehouse under the name of her sister-in-law.

"Brother, what I mean is that other things are piled in the warehouse. It's not too late to take care of them when we go to the capital, but good medicinal materials may not be available with money here. As for the box of jewelry, not all of them are in the warehouse. The ones I picked out were prepared by my aunt for me and my sister-in-law, from her own dowry, one for each of us."

The pressure is getting worse, what should I do?
After finally changing a box of precious stones to make jewelry for my wife, my wife just took one for each person.

"I made a rough calculation, and as I guessed before, my aunt lied to me and said that it was not even 10% compared to the original dowry list.

The pressure is so great. Mrs. Gao’s eldest granddaughter’s dowry is not that much. Do you think my uncle is afraid that I will be looked down upon by the Gao family and even the dowry will cost them? "

"Don't say it, why don't you mention this." Gu Wenxuan slapped his forehead seriously, "I really didn't know that Mr. was very vain.

No wonder the sentence on the left, "I am the daughter of the Zhou family," and the sentence on the right, "I am the legitimate daughter of the Zhou family," are both competing with Mr. Gao. Mr. Gao only has one legitimate daughter. "

Zhou Banxia laughed and shook his head, "I can't compare to that. Regardless of her talent and appearance, that eldest lady is also quite impressive. Even her brother listened to her before she got married.

In the words of my master, if someone has a beautiful heart, then I am better than myself and have self-awareness. Husbands are not easy to compare and cannot be compared. "

Gu Wenxuan couldn't help laughing when he said this, "You may be humble on your lips, but you're not convinced in your heart, right? Doesn't it mean that you don't have self-awareness?"

"Nonsense, at best, everyone has their own ambitions." Recalling the eldest lady in Gaofu who was famous for her virtuousness after getting married, Zhou Banxia got excited, "Anyway, he asked me to take in concubines for my husband, and he also held every one of his babies by his side. Parenting is impossible, not all the way.”

"Sir, he doesn't expect you to be as virtuous as others. The most he can do is to use money to smash your husband. Even if your husband becomes a prostitute one day, you won't be able to say that you are too domineering."

Zhou Banxia laughed heartily, "My uncle had such an idea. He didn't realize that Mr. Zhao had spoken before him, but as a result, he hugged her from left to right, and Mrs. Zhao was called a jealous wife."

Gu Wenxuan smiled noncommittally and took her to the clean room to wash herself, "That's stupid. Do you believe that when his wife was showing off outside, he, Boss Zhao, didn't know anything about it?"

Naturally I don’t believe it.

Mrs. Zhao showed off that she and her husband had been together for a lifetime, but it also showed that Mr. Zhao came from a humble background and relied on his father-in-law to make his fortune, while her husband was weak.

In this situation, it is impossible to be surrounded by good people, and it is impossible that there are not one or two villains who take the opportunity to step on Mr. Zhao out of various hidden motives.

To say that Mr. Zhao doesn't know anything at all would be to underestimate Mr. Zhao's IQ.

"To put it bluntly, the purpose of their marriage was not pure from the beginning." Gu Wenxuan handed the wrung towel to Zhou Banxia, ​​"One side wanted to find a backer and provide him with the resources to take the scientific examination and become an official; the other side saw that he was very promising. The great thing about Xiao Sanyuan, who has a promising future, is that he is from a peasant family that is not even considered poor.

What a good candidate for their wealthy family, but he comes from a humble background. Even if he trains him vigorously, are he afraid that this uncle will be ungrateful and not be able to help the family? "

It makes sense. Zhou Banxia deliberately didn't hand the towel back to Gu Wenxuan after wiping his face, lest he stop talking.

"But this man, at one moment and another, he was able to reach the fourth place in the palace examination from being a child of three yuan. It is conceivable that he is very outstanding in his own right. How can he not be arrogant?
Besides, in this life, how can a husband and wife not have teeth to bite their tongues, knowing whether they are hot or cold, and there will always be times when they feel unhappy.

Looking back at that time, he had just entered the court as an official. During that period, did his in-laws' family want him to pay more than he could bear?

I think it should be, otherwise it's not a young boy who fell into a trap and was forced to take a concubine. It would be better to say that he also wanted to take the opportunity to test the bottom line of the Yue family. "
