The wife of a woman collecting herbs cannot be bullied

Chapter 136

Now it's my turn to realize how much thought has been put into it.

"Well, you must buy it. How to buy it? Let me look at the account books. Speaking of which, how much money is available in our house? Is there a large amount of money to pay right now?"

This is the first time for the two to be directors of the family, and they both feel that it is better to discuss everything. At least the two of them can't keep their ears to the outside world. They don't have this condition.

Chu Xu immediately asked someone to bring over the account books. Fortunately, they had just established the mansion, and the account books were very thin, not to mention a total of only a dozen pages, and the first 7 or 8 pages were all from the period when the mansion was founded.Shi Chuying looked carefully at the past, and now their family's large amount of money is only a few:
Chu Xu's own savings are 3056 taels, which is a whole number;

In addition, there is a government subsidy of 1200 taels from the Ministry of Internal Affairs;
Clan subsidy 300 taels;
Old house subsidy 300 taels;
The old grandfather posted 1000 taels privately;
Big brother Chu Wei posted 500 taels;
Uncle posted 100 taels;
The third uncle posted 50 taels;
The fourth uncle posted 30 taels;
These are the money for the founding of the mansion, not a congratulatory gift for marriage.The total amount of money entered into the account is: 6536 taels of silver;
In addition, the sum of the gift money received by the married couple is 1860 taels, and the rest are items; so the amount in their government accounts is 8396 taels.

This seems to be a lot at first glance, but Shi Chuying looked down at the recent withdrawal fees:

Temporary loan of the servants of the old house and withdrawal of reward money: 110, two zero and three hangs;

Various purchase expenses in the government are withdrawn: 2355 taels, 4 cents and 2 cents, zero 56 hanging system money; and these expenses are expenditures from the opening of the government, so there is no need to check them carefully now;

There are also marriage expenses withdrawals: 3312 tael 8 qian, zero 32 shang qian; these are also unable to be checked;

Expenses to be paid now: winter charcoal, incense candles, lanterns, paper, lamp oil, rice, vegetables, fish, shrimp, poultry, eggs, meat, dried fruits of various colors, dried vegetables, vegetable oil, meat oil, etc.;

In addition, the winter clothes and quilts of the servants, the cotton curtains used throughout the winter in the mansion, the thick embroidered curtains, the chairs and cushions, the brocade bedding and quilts, etc., the cost of maintaining flowers and trees, the monthly money of the doctors in the mansion, the standing medicinal materials, various Cups, bowls, cups, bowls, cups, bowls, cups, bowls, cups, bowls, cups, bowls, cups, bowls, cups, bowls, cups, bowls, cups, bowls, cups, bowls, cups, bowls, cups, bowls, cups, bowls, cups, bowls, cups, bowls, cups, bowls, cups, bowls, cups, bowls, cups, bowls, cups, bowls, cups, bowls, cups, bowls, cups, bowls, cups, bowls, cups, bowls, cups, bowls, cups, bowls, cups, bowls, etc. After all, by the end of this month, the balance of money in their family's books will not exceed 2000 taels!
Shi Chuying and Chu Xu looked at each other, and suddenly they burst into laughter again, "Hahahaha..."

The people serving in the underground are also confused, and the two accountants are even more confused standing there. Are these two masters crazy?
Seeing that there is not much money in the account of the mansion, you still have the heart to laugh?The two shook their heads, they didn't understand, they didn't understand!
Here, after Chu Xu and Shi Chuying laughed, they couldn't help but smiled and exchanged glances at each other, Shi Chuying put away the account book, sat up straight and said, "You always have a backup, don't you? I will take a closer look at this reserve, and I will tailor it for you when I come back."

The two cashiers glanced at the general, they drank tea, well, they resigned to their fate, the general's wife is in charge of their house.So, the two of them went down.

Shi Chuying waved her hand, and the servants all backed out. The two closed the door and rolled together laughing. After a long struggle, they straightened their clothes and stood up to speak.

The kang table had already been kicked to the corner, and Chu Xu hugged his family Yingying in his arms, leaning on the brocade pillow, while playing with Yingying's Qianqian jade finger, he held back a smile and said: "You still have the foresight, Xiaoying. Admiration!"

"That's right!" Shi Chuying proudly raised her face and rolled her delicate eyes, "Otherwise, what would I do to transport these dowry all the way? Fortunately, I'm lucky, otherwise we'd have to drink the northwest wind! Hehehe... ..." Another laugh.

It's no wonder, after looking at the recent budget, both of them naturally thought of the dowry that Shi Chuying brought in with such great momentum, wouldn't they use it right away?
Think about how many people laughed at them openly and secretly at that time, who knew that it was this distance that quenched their thirst!
With a swipe of Shi Chuying's pen, all food and drink purchases were crossed out, and handed over to Aunt Yue, Li San's wife, and the kitchen for re-cutting. There is no silver for the rice, more than 3 catties, and now they are brought back to top it up.

Crossing out this item alone saves more than 200 hanging money, and it is enough to take out some cloth and cotton from the dowry to make clothes for the servants. As for the curtains for the winter, what can be used in her dowry first Use it quickly, you don’t have to keep long bugs, and this item saves at least one or two hundred yuan;

Not to mention the medicinal materials, just take some from her warehouse according to the list, and buy them separately if there is no one, but judging from the list, they don't need it, which saves another ten taels of silver.

Calculated in this way, at least a few years ago, these were enough to deal with.

However, the saved money can’t be lost. It takes part of the purchase of fruit, the digging of new cellars, labor costs and so on...

In any case, at least the immediate relief for a few months.We must know that the 2000 taels of silver may be considered a lot of money in a place far away from the capital, but in the capital, it is only three or two months of expenses for ordinary wealthy families. Who doesn’t have 5 taels of cash in their books!

This is still supported by Zhuangzi, gardens, shops and so on in every family...

Now both of them have a little understanding of what it means to "not be in charge of the family, you don't know how expensive the family is", especially Chu Xu feels the deepest.
