reborn child bride

Chapter 97 Preparation for Marriage (2) ([-])
The Lin family really has a way of training girls, and with Wan Cui watching, they brought four little girls here, not only did Zhu Ning, Bi Cailan change from the old appearance when she was sold, even Ji Bai was no longer just blindly She is innocent and innocent, and her demeanor is much more stable.

The four of them came up together to salute Shen Ji, "Meet the girl!"

The monthly schedule sent by Shen is based on that of the Lin family. The first-class girl is two taels, the second class is one tael, five taels, and mother Gu is four taels. Two taels of silver.Those from the Niu family have already been dispatched to the dowry Zhuangzi prepared by Mrs. Lin for her. The manager is also four taels of silver a month, and there are two new clothes every quarter for those who have errands.

Nowadays, the big kitchen still delivers meals to various places every day, and the meals sent here by Shen Ji are still warm, but once she was at Liu's and found that her meals were half-cold.It wasn't until Mrs. Lin allowed her to see Zhun'er and became close to her that this situation changed.

In the small kitchen, at most, some small snacks, midnight snacks and the like can be made.The biggest advantage is that hot water is available at any time, without having to go to the big kitchen.It was what the Bao family said, no matter what, Shen Ji was not a serious master of the Lin family.After a long time, even if Mrs. Lin was protecting her, the servants did not dare to be negligent, but it was not easy to send them all the time. Naturally, those people would complain if there were too many times.And she always has to manage some money to do things, and she feels uncomfortable.It is much more convenient for people who use their own now.

It was rare for Shen Ji to be more relaxed today, so he took a copy of "Kyushu Chronicle" and leaned on the couch to read it.Now Mrs. Lin has changed her full-day class time to half-day, and she can arrange half-day by herself. This is a book about people and customs in different places, which is very attractive to Shen Ji who has no chance to travel far like Wei Ying.A Ling was in the next room with a small abacus, calculating how much money they had spent in the last month.This is what Shen Ji taught her. A Ling wants to set up a stall by herself in the future, and learning to calculate accounts is the first step.However, up to now, following Shen Ji, she has also opened up a lot of horizons, and her ambition has risen from setting up a stall to opening a shop.

In the end, after he figured it out, he checked it again, and checked it with the remaining silver in Ban Cui's hand. The two felt that it was correct, so they showed it to Shen Ji.

Shen Ji looked through it, and in the month since she arrived in Lin's mansion, she actually spent nearly 50 taels of silver except for the buyer.The biggest expense is sending monthly bills to everyone and making new clothes.And the clothes and jewelry she bought were paid out of the 1 taels of betrothal gift from Mrs. Lin.This didn't even count the two little golden lions that Zhun'er gave her, and she also went to the birthday banquet of He's mansion as Mrs. Lin's goddaughter, so she didn't give any other congratulatory gifts.

It stands to reason that Wei Ying, the head of the family, will also send her a monthly order in the future.She doesn't know how many months Mrs. Lin has, but Jia Baoyu's mother, Mrs. Wang, is only 20 taels a month.Judging from this posture, she is doomed to make ends meet in the future.In the future, the exchange of favors and her own clothes and jewelry should also be paid by the public, but these dowry people still have to be raised by her.Now it seems that paying wages is a problem, let alone bonuses.How can she drive people after that day.She resolutely decided to open an embroidery workshop.

To be honest, before Wei Ying handed over several thousand taels of silver to her for safekeeping, and later took out the 2 taels given by Mrs. Wei for the wedding, Shen Ji also had a feeling of being a rich man in his heart.Not to mention the comparison with the country, but compared with the time when I first came to the capital to set up a stall and earn 60 taels a month and was very happy, I am much richer now.Now such a calculation, the monthly expenditure is really a lot.

Thinking about it carefully, not only is she struggling to make ends meet here, but so is the whole family.There are more than ten servants in the new house.As for the Zhuangzi and the shop under the two names, they haven't seen any profit yet.Isn't this just sitting and eating?

The money for the wedding was earmarked for special purposes, and after passing through the hands of Mrs. Seven, it is not known whether she would get a fortune out of it, how much, and how much the servants who handled it would get away with.It's really hard to say how much money she can leave for herself in the account later, can she go to check the accounts of the Seventh Madam one by one.Even now, it is impossible for Wei Ying to let people supervise the expenses of Mrs. Seven.In particular, besides Old Zhaotou and Guan Meng, Wei Zhai is still the servants of the Wei family who have just been assigned to his name.He himself goes up and down the yamen every day, and he has no time to manage the affairs of the inner house.

After getting married, the cash that can be used is probably only a few thousand taels that Wei Ying held in his hand before, which is the income from the Zhuangzi farm shop left by his mother.There is also 5000 taels of my own dowry at the bottom of the box.It seems that I don't even have a day to spend my honeymoon in peace, and I have to take over the family's financial power as soon as I pass the house, and then take a clear inventory.The most important thing is to get the Zhuangzi shop that has been controlled by the second wife for many years.Moreover, it is not too eager to do all this.

Wan Cui and A Ling couldn't help but look at each other as she watched their calculations in a daze. The two of them had met in private once half a month ago, but they made a mistake that time, and the money and accounts were always inconsistent.That's why I double-checked it this time. What, it's wrong again?

"Girl, what's the matter?" A Ling asked.

"Oh, that's right. A Ling, you really need to work harder on your handwriting."

Wan Cui glanced at Shen Ji, "Girl, are you worried about your future income?"

A Ling said disapprovingly: "Miss, why do you need to worry about income now?" She had never heard of tens of thousands of taels of silver before.If you are like this, you still have to worry about what to do with the poor.

"Yeah." Now that she saw it, Shen Ji didn't want to hide it, "However, with money in hand, it's easier to make money with money than to make money with manpower. What I'm worried about is that the shop under the name of Brother Wei will be taken back. Sometimes there is only an empty shell, and you may even be in debt. In this way, not only the inner house, but the whole house will be unable to make ends meet." It really echoed Wang Xifeng's words, and there are big difficulties.

Forget it, no matter how much I think about it now, it is impossible to solve the problem.It's impossible for her to stretch out her arms so long, and now she will be Wei Ying's home, so she should feel at ease and prepare for marriage.Moreover, Wei Ying is not someone who does not know the sufferings of the world and the price of firewood.He has nothing to do with the income from those properties in the past 14 years, but it may not be easy for the Wei family to take out the money that has already been obtained from him.Of course, if the water is clear, there will be no fish, and some people will definitely be fished away for this wedding.

Now it can only be like this, thinking about it all the time can only make yourself uncomfortable.After Shen Ji figured it out, he asked them to put away the ledger and the remaining money.Seeing that A Ling still didn't understand, she smiled and said, "Little idiot, you bought the golden lion you gave Zhun'er last time, don't you understand?"

A Ling thought about it, yes, in the past when the neighbors gave birth to a child, it was easy to spend a few dollars to buy a gift.That time it cost hundreds of taels, and there will be more weddings and funerals in the future.Although not every family is as close as the Lin family needs to give heavy gifts, the gift money should not be too light.
