The wife of a woman collecting herbs cannot be bullied

Chapter 72

Now that the manpower has been bought, Shi Chuying has no choice but to write a letter to Chu Xu.She even did a rough calculation, based on 500 yuan for a girl, and an average of 45 yuan for a servant, a woman, and a male servant. The monthly salary of these people is at least 50 taels. Servants, at least 800 taels of silver.In addition to the routine rewards for New Year's Day and festivals, [-] taels a year is not enough.This is not counting the food, drink and clothing of the whole family!
Aunt Jin said that servants with the lowest clothes need two sets of common clothes and two pairs of shoes and socks per person and season each year; Season at least 3 or 4 sets of clothes and shoes and socks; decent girls need more.

There must also be meat and vegetables in food, rice and soup, firewood, rice, oil and salt, ice in summer, and carbon in winter. The accumulation of time and money will definitely not be less than monthly money!
And Chu Xu's annual salary is only 1000 taels of silver!
Shi Chuying couldn't help sighing, spread out the letter paper, and wrote three or five articles in a profuse manner, the theme of which was: She roughly figured out that it was not enough to take care of such a big house without 50 servants, and one of these people The monthly payment will be 50 taels of silver...

Did they open the mansion together to raise slaves? !
In short, she has already made up her mind that in the future, she will open a few vegetable plots in the garden. If they want to eat meat, the two of them will go hunting in the nearby mountains; Do it, so that you will have something to eat next year!And so on.A thousand words are omitted here.

It is said that when Chu Xu received Shi Chuying's letter, he couldn't help pounding the table and laughing a few times. His Yingying always surprised him.Thinking that he, Chu Xu, is a man who has established a family at any rate, can't he let his wife worry about eating and drinking? !
"Hey, my Ying Ying is the smartest. Look, after what she said, I can't even afford half a year's monthly payment with this little Jue Lu!" Chu Xu laughed and felt emotional again. You are lucky to marry a daughter-in-law like Yingying who knows how to live.

The old steward is almost nauseated, no one in the house doesn't know about this matter, why is your wife the smartest, if you just pull out a steward's daughter-in-law, you can figure it out better, okay?It's just you, Master Xu, you don't know how expensive the rice is if you are not in charge of the family!
Also, what's the matter with a woman's family, pointing fingers at a man's family?How dare you directly dislike men who earn less money?How dare the daughter-in-law in charge say that she will only give a sling of money?Which one in the capital will be stingy?Even if you are stingy, you won't leave a message for people on this, will you?Such a stingy hostess, hehe, no one in the old house would want to come...

I've never seen such a woman again... The young master is so rare!
"Ah, by the way, Uncle Yang, how much is your monthly salary? How did grandpa calculate it for you?"

The old steward hurriedly cupped his hands, holding back his words and finally had a reason to open the gate: "So that Master Xu will know that you opened a mansion here, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will pay you 1200 taels of silver for the opening of the mansion. When you are free, come and go!" Got it, you need to pay a deposit to get it;
In addition, when you get married, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will give you a happy event subsidy of 100 taels; also, our clan will also give you a 300 tael subsidy for the opening of the house and a 50 tael subsidy for the happy event, and you have to take time to get it;

The old slave is temporarily lent to you by the old general. You don’t get the monthly money from here. The old slave’s monthly money in the old house is 5 taels of silver;
Shi Feng and Shi Dian around you are still receiving the monthly money of the old house, which is 2 taels of silver per month; Lao Liu who drives the car hangs half a month every month, and Xiong Er who feeds the horses hangs once a month. I also get the monthly money from the old house; if the contract is transferred later, I will get the monthly money from here, the amount is up to you, and the others..." After speaking, Lao Yang looked up at Chu Xu, and saw that Chu Xu's brows were frowned. , I don’t know what I’m thinking.

What could Chu Xu think?Of course it's a settlement, with just a few people, it costs more than a dozen taels of silver a month, which is not counted as food, drink and clothing!

He remembered that his total annual income was about 1000 taels. It seemed that he opened a mansion, and such an idea was really not enough for the mansion.No wonder, he asked why those people in the old house looked at him with that kind of eyes after the mansion was opened, now he understands, isn't that expression of overestimation in those eyes!
Chu Xu was born in a noble family. His great-grandfather was King Zhuangxi, the second son of the King of Qi.

Of course, today is not what it used to be, and the fallen phoenix is ​​not as good as a chicken. After their team was demoted, everything has become a thing of the past.But even so, Chu Xu has his grandfather and elder brother above him, and living in the old house is nothing more than having a small yard for himself. Naturally, someone will arrange and deal with these trivial matters, and it is really not his turn to take care of them.Therefore, he really didn't know what to do when he didn't set up a family by himself.

However, right now...

"Uncle Yang, hurry up and give me the survey map of the mansion, and I'll take a look." Chu Xu rubbed his eyebrows, it seems that Yingying's worry is not superfluous at all!She really is a good wife!

The old steward looked up at the young master, shook his head and stepped back, thinking, if this person is pleasing to the eye, Dong Shi will also become Xi Shi; if he is not pleasing to the eye, Xi Shi will also be Dong Shi!
Chu Xu sat quietly for a long while, and he had to say that Shi Chuying's letter had inadvertently alerted him to the fact that setting up a household and dividing a yard by himself were two completely different things!
