Ai Ruo's life in the red mansion

Jixiang came in with the floor plan of the manor, which she ordered early in the morning.You can't point to which house is allocated to which person, right?This is not the rigorous scientific attitude of her medical students.Once you have a picture, spread it out, find where you are, and start thinking about it.

"Second Master's study is naturally in the outer courtyard. Three rooms are enough. The east side of the main courtyard is your room, and I live on the west side. Zhu'er and Yuan'er are still young, so they naturally want to live in front of me. On the left The aunts will live in the Kuayuan. There are enough seats for three people. What do you think, Second Master?" Ai Ruo made arrangements before looking at Jia Zheng.

Looking at the picture, the left cross courtyard is actually closer to the outer study than the main room, and you can pass through a small side door. The left cross courtyard is also a regular three-in-one big house.Each of the three aunts occupies one side.It just depends on who can live in the main house.But Ai Ruo doesn't care about it, let them make trouble by themselves.

Although she reserved a room for Jia Zheng in the main courtyard, she made it clear that Jia Zheng's room was separate and she did not plan to share a room with Jia Zheng.Isn't Jia Zheng a gentleman?At this time, it is normal for the hostess and hostess to have their own rooms in noble houses. No matter how big the family is, the hostess still has his own yard. For example, Daishan now lives alone in Lixiangyuan.So she doesn't have any pressure at all, please be a good master, I will definitely give you the respect you deserve, but the premise is that you are obedient.

Jia Zheng really didn't have much talent. He looked at the study room, and his aunt's house was very large and practical, so what else could he say.He hasn't recovered from the shock of the gap, and he seems to be a little more confident after being flattered just now, so he completely accepted Ai Ruo's arrangement.

"By the way, do you want to live here until the house in the city is refurbished? Or until you are admitted as a scholar?" Ai Ruo asked.

Jia Zheng's face turned red all of a sudden, thinking that Ai Ruo was just like his mother-in-law, looking down on him and thinking that he couldn't give her face.

"Basically, we also have land, and we have to go to the Yamen to file for the record, which means we have been officially separated from the Rongguo Mansion. If you have no fame, we have to pay taxes. If you win the election, at least you can pay less tax .Those taxes are said to be too much or too little. Take a look, why don’t you give it a try and just make some contributions to the family?” Ai Ruo stared at Jia Zheng, it’s your business that you don’t want ordinary things, but you can’t help but do it for the family. Do you want to contribute?

Jia Zheng was so choked that he was really speechless. After a while, he finally choked out a sentence, "How much money can I have?"

The main reason is that Ai Ruo's words are very jumpy. I first talk about scholar and then Zhongju. Is this the same thing?But how can Jia Zheng's stupid head be the same as Ai Ruo's.Ai Ruo didn't think she would jump, so she lived here until Jia Zheng was admitted as a scholar, and then moved back to the city until she was awarded the Zhongju.How simple and easy to understand!

"Oh, they taught me to do the math, so I'll show you." Ai Ruo took the abacus and started to show it to Jia Zheng, then got a number and handed it to Jia Zheng.

"It doesn't look like much. It might not compare to the cost of setting up a banquet in the mansion. But you have to look at it this way. My monthly salary in the mansion is 20 taels, and the monthly money for my aunts is two taels per person. The three aunts..." Ai Ruo counted again, adding the monthly money for herself and the three aunts, and the money for making clothes every season.By the way, the two children were fed goat milk, and the monthly money for bringing them out to serve as servants was added up one by one.Multiply it by twelve, which is the main expenses of their family for a year except for food.Even less than the tax money to pay for a year.

Jia Zheng had never heard of someone doing such a calculation. He didn't care about it before, because there were parents above him, and he was only responsible for the flowers.I thought, such a little tax money is really not enough for him to go out and buy a lot of antiques, ancient books, calligraphy and paintings.But Ai Ruo praised him just now, he is enjoying the fun of being the head of the family.I had to be patient and listen to Ai Ruo's settlement.

After listening to it, those messy things are not very clear.Why are women so troublesome about clothes, jewelry, monthly money, and goat milk for children?But after looking at the calculated total at the end, he was embarrassed.Cooperating with his wife, concubine, and children for a year might as well go out and treat friends to a meal by themselves.This blow was a bit big, and I felt sorry for my wife and children.

Of course, he also has a sense of crisis. Just now, his wife also said that they have officially separated. They can't really run out of money. Go back and ask your father for it?Jia Zheng absolutely couldn't bear this, he couldn't speak for a long time.

Seeing Jia Zheng's cowardice, Ai Ruo knew that he had listened, and continued, "Look, the tax you pay is enough to support your wife and children for several years. Besides, it's not just once, it has to be paid every year." Pay. There are so many people in Zhuangzi, and there is also a poll tax. There is always a lot of money. The children are still young, and the wife also points to these aunts to open up skills for the second master. Many children are blessed. In the future, there will be a marriage Marry, I really don’t know how long we can last for the things we split up. What do you think?”

"Why is it so difficult?" Jia Zhenghan came down. Although he said so, he thought of Wang's original red makeup and the dowry his father prepared for his sister!Although his daughter is still young, but it really makes him mean to her, he really can't do it.It is difficult to have a daughter, not to mention that he will have children in the future.I couldn't help but shuddered, and began to regret that I would have known that I would not be separated if I was killed.In this way, the marriage is paid by the public, so he doesn't have to worry about it.

"Don't you plan ahead? The second master has the backbone and doesn't want to rely on the Rong Mansion to live. Come out by yourself. As a wife, I should always be a husband and wife. I don't dare to embarrass the master. No matter how difficult it is, I can't let the manor look down on you. You Say yes?" Ai Ruo smiled and praised Jia Zheng again, and of course put him on the stage, and didn't give him a chance to get off.

Jia Zheng was a little ashamed for the regret just now, and felt that Ai Ruo was a bit difficult, for the sake of his own face, he was only out of confinement, so he worked so hard.I still think about going back to rely on my parents, it's a bit too unmotivated.

Is Jia Zheng actually a bad guy?It can only be said that he is indeed scumbag and hypocritical.But bad, really can't talk about it.After all, it takes brains to be bad, and he really doesn't have one.For a person who has no brains, is vain, and prudish, Ai Ruo has seen a lot in later generations, and he still has a way to deal with them.It's just coaxing, confessing, and letting them follow their baton unconsciously, without knowing what's wrong.

"It's enough to have a good name?" Jia Zheng didn't mention the test, only said that there is a big difference here.
