reborn child bride

Chapter 366 Management (2) ([-])
He Yun originally didn't want to see Shen Ji, but she could more or less see Lan Wang's faint thoughts.I thought to myself, didn't Shen Ji avoid the prince all the time before, why not now?However, she didn't dare to hide this matter, so she sent the greeting card to Princess Lan.

Princess Lan was taken aback when she saw the greeting post, and then said: "So Mrs. Wei has returned to Beijing." It's been a year so soon, and she really wished that this woman would not come back to Beijing.

"Ask her to come to the mansion tomorrow and sit down. You can just bring her here."

"Yes." He Yun bowed her knees and stepped back. This year, Prince Lan's residence has added two newcomers.King Lan is not a womanizer, these two people are helpful to him from the family, just like himself.With more people, He Yun's little grace will naturally be divided, and she still has not conceived a child.

After returning, a confidant persuaded her, since she has noticed what the prince is thinking, why not...

"Who would do such a thing? I haven't fallen to this point yet." But she also wondered in her heart what kind of support Shen Ji had, so she took the initiative to come to Lan Wangfu.She must have come because of her husband's recovery.But as far as she knew, Shen Ji, like her, was a very proud person on the inside, and would never do such a thing as recommending himself as a pillow mat for the future of his husband.And her husband-in-law is not a softie. Shen Ji kicked the concubine's brother that day, but he didn't do anything he shouldn't have done.

Is it because of the grace of saving lives?Well, it's possible.From Lin Shizi's matter, it can be seen that Shen Ji and his wife are not soft persimmons. In the name of life-saving benefactors, the prince should not care about being too messy.Moreover, the prince is busy doing big things at this time, so he probably doesn't have the heart to have fun.Especially since this matter would greatly affect his reputation, it would be a big deal for the emperor to know about it.Thinking about it, the couple relied on these two points.

He Yun took a pen and sent a post back to Shen, inviting her to visit the house tomorrow, and then ordered someone to send it over.From the bottom of my heart, she is living a very hard life in such a canary life in the palace.In the future, if the lord becomes a great treasure, he will work even harder; but if the major event fails, he may not even have the chance to work hard.She was a little envious of Shen Ji in her heart. She had been married for five years and had nothing to do with her so far, and her background was so humble, but her husband and son-in-law, let alone a concubine, even gave away their only concubine.

After receiving this reply, Shen Ji made a plan to entertain the Wang family of Wei Boyue's family.The master of the Wang family is a sixth-rank official in the capital, and Mrs. Eleven is the matchmaker, with a good official reputation.After hitting a wall, the fourth lady finally made the right choice rationally.Now that Wei Bo has obtained a seventh-rank official position and is about to report to the yamen, the two families can be regarded as well-matched.

Shen Ji has already sent someone to buy the betrothal gift, and she did it for Wei Zhi last time, so she is quite familiar with it.Besides, there is Gu's mother to help this time, so there is no need to worry.It's just that before Wei Bo's official position was not determined, so he didn't plan to buy a house, but now he has to take this into account for him.The 5000 taels given by the fourth wife seemed to have been used up to 3000 taels, and there were still 2000 taels left. If I still need to buy a house, I am afraid it will be very tight.Shen Ji asked Mama Gu to write down all the expenses in the account book, and fill in the gaps if they are not enough.All the corresponding things were also purchased at Hu Ji Trading Company. Fatty Hu gave a [-]% discount, and the more you buy, the more you save.

At this moment, the fourth master's letter arrived.Before Wei Bo's official position was confirmed, Wei Bo wrote a letter back to inform them.This reply was sent to Wei Ying, and it was sent directly by the servants.Shen Ji knew it in his mind.Wei Ying opened the envelope, and sure enough, 5000 taels of bank notes were sealed inside. He handed it to Shen Zi, "Fourth Uncle said to buy a house for Sixth Brother."

Shen Ji inquired about it. They bought this house five years ago for 5000 taels, and now the market price is about 6000 taels.The 5000 taels must have been all that my uncle and aunt could afford, but living in the capital is not easy.Seeing that the Wei family is quite rich, but getting money from their hometown in Huaiyang to spend in the capital is a bit tight.If you buy it outside, it will be even farther to the Yamen.She called Wei Bo to discuss it, and now the total is 7000 taels of silver, depending on where he wants to buy the house.

Wei Bo has never paid attention to this kind of routine. Of course, he wanted to buy closer to the yamen, but he was shocked when he heard the price mentioned by his sister-in-law.How much money does a house cost?
"There are a few servants in Huaiyang who are already on their way. They will come to help you with your marriage, and then stay in the capital to serve your young couple. So I think if you want to buy it, it should be about the size of our house. OK."

"Then, I'll buy it around here."

"Okay, I'll ask Manager Li to go out and find a house for you. The advance payment is 6000 taels, and there are 1000 taels left. All betrothal gifts will be purchased at 6000 taels, and 2000 taels will be used for the wedding. Set aside 3000 taels for you to live on. I'm going to the Yamen in a few days. It's no problem to support the family, but there are usually a lot of exchanges between people, so I have to set aside some spare money. I will explain to you before my siblings pass the door. When she passes the door, I will Give it all to her."

Wei Bo bowed his head and said: "My sister-in-law will arrange everything." He didn't thank you again and again, so as not to arouse the anger of his brother and sister-in-law.The elder brother worked hard for him and taught him how to be an official, and the elder sister took care of him for him.He will also remember what his elder brother said that if you want to innovate, you must first preserve yourself, otherwise it will not help.He used to think that his eldest brother seemed to be a bit more tactful and sophisticated as an official and a person, but the long conversation that night let him know that his eldest brother also had blood in his heart.He's just biding his time.With such an elder brother, he was naturally happy to follow.

When Wei Ying came back, Shen Ji said to him: "The third brother's marriage only cost a little more than 2000 taels, and the sixth brother got married in the capital this time, but he directly spent four times the money. This is not counting the purchase of a house." Money. Wouldn’t those officials with ordinary backgrounds not be able to live without being greedy?”

Wei Ying was served by her to change home clothes, and then said: "The rich live the way, the poor live the poor. Many new officials live in the dormitories provided by the imperial court for young officials, free of charge. After all Many people went to Beijing to rush for the exam and did not bring their family members. After a few years, when they have the ability to bring their family members here, renting a small yard is still affordable.”

Well, civil service benefits are good.However, "You are talking about a relatively good situation, but how many people in the officialdom can watch their colleagues live a prosperous life and still stick to poverty?"

Wei Ying laughed, "What you said is also reasonable. Many people have slipped into the depths of greed in this way. After all, the temptation of the capital is too great."

Shen Ji put his clothes on the screen, "So, it still depends on everyone's aspirations. You can't do this with a high salary alone. There are mountains and mountains. If you want to compare, there will always be someone who is taller than you. .And the salaries of officials plus those miscellaneous silvers are quite a lot compared to ordinary wealthy households. I remember that when you first became an official, you could get back more than 20 taels a month, and sometimes 30 taels. Living with peace of mind is actually everything. enough."
