Ai Ruo's life in the red mansion

Zhou Rui's family watched Jia Zheng go out and looked directly at the sky.It seems that the second master still doesn't care about ordinary things. Usually, people can live a year with 20 taels.This guy actually has 8000 taels and feels that he can't get by.

Besides, grandma has already said that there are still 8000 taels of deductions, and she is actually saying that the expenses of the previous year have been deducted, and there is still a balance of 8000 taels.If you use these 8000 taels to live in the coming year, then the balance in the next year will be amazing.

You know, this year has been a huge one for Erye's mansion.Separation of the family, renovation of the new house, and living in Rongfu for more than half a year, the house in Zhuangzi and the east of the city are actually three expenses; Well, it's all about money.

In the coming year, even if they still live in Rongfu, the house in the east of the city can be locked up, and the expensive ones can be moved back to Zhuangzi or nearby houses, saving a lot of money.Even if the second master is studying in Beijing and socializing, it is better than asking for money everywhere outside.So in the eyes of Zhou Rui's family, Second Mistress is more and more capable of being in charge of the family.

But Ai Ruo thinks this is very good. For the Jia family, 8000 taels will not last a year. For them, 8000 taels will be a problem for a year.Not to mention chewing and spending for a year.

Think about it, each mansion celebrates its birthday today, and that one gets married tomorrow, so they are not allowed to give gifts?A gift, 8000 taels really won't take a few days.However, they separated their families. Except for a few serious relatives, some of them had to give gifts, and the others were all prepared by the big house.Who let them inherit the nobility, these big exchanges are handled by Rongfu.

So 8000 taels.For their small family, there is still a surplus.But she didn't intend to tell Jia Zheng, only to let him know that the budget for the coming year was only 8000 taels.Let learn to live within your means.

This is the short-term goal, the long-term goal is, let him understand.When the old man really went and Jia Zheng formally entered the officialdom, the 8000 taels would not be enough to give a gift to the forward.So he didn't think about it carefully. If he was controlled by a slave like in the book, he would really be better off not being an official.Just keep your fame and fame and live the life of a rich man.

Naturally, Zhou Rui's family would not say anything more, this was a matter between their husband and wife, and Zhou Rui's family would not tell Jia Zheng that if the family had money, they could spend it casually.Not to mention Jia Zheng.The second grandmother also has a private room.Therefore, she thought that the second mistress was also saving money for the uncle and the girl.

So the position is very important, Zhou Rui's family is naturally on Ai Ruo's side.He felt that if the second master had a concubine in the future, the family business would still be divided. At this time, how could the second grandmother save more, and naturally she couldn't give it to the vixen.I don't think Ai Ruo did anything wrong.

On New Year's Eve, Ai Ruo moved back to his home.In fact, it's not considered moving, how should I put it, they also kept the small courtyard in Rongfu.However, the plaque of Jia's house was also hung on the mansion in Qianjie, and the inside was cleaned up and arranged according to everyone's preferences.Even the three aunts were taken out of the Zhuangzi and given to the yard, which can be regarded as officially settling down in the city.Let people know.From then on, the second master settled down there, and it was the official second master's mansion.

Ai Ruo just felt distressed, because he was renovating the house in the east of the city in vain.But she was not idle, and immediately asked for help. It was around the New Year's Eve, and many people who came to Beijing to catch the exam or do business naturally wanted to rent a house.Her house is a bit bigger, but there are also those who have money to show off, and there are also bidders. Ai Ruo doesn't care about how much, as long as people take good care of her, she can get back some of the capital, which is better than leaving it empty, and she has to pay for it. Strong maintenance.I quickly found a family and rented it out.

Zhuangzi's mansion is still in place, anyway, it can be used for vacation.Besides, all the aunts have moved out, so the expenses there are reduced to a minimum, and the expenses are also small.

As for the small courtyard of the Rong Mansion, in fact, it would cost a lot to eat, but since the Erye Mansion is just across the street, the purchases can be done in one go.And Ai Ruo was also petty, she ate lunch in Zhang's house anyway.So the kitchen in the small courtyard was also cancelled, to show people that the focus of Second Grandma's life would be in the new house in the future.As for whether it can be done, Ai Ruo didn't think too much about it. The house in the east of the city was just too much thought, so it was ruined.

The new house is only one street away from the Rongning Second Mansion, and it is a well-organized mansion. Dai Shan also loves his son, and only distributes it to his son when everything is done properly.But it's not Ai Ruo's favorite inside, but he just thinks that it's his home anyway.Only then did she reluctantly live in it. In fact, she prefers the house in Dongcheng in her heart, because every brick and tile is her own painstaking effort.

Of course, the New Year's Eve dinner had to be eaten with Rongfu.Go home after eating, what's the matter, I still want to spend New Year's Eve in my own home.After keeping the year old and setting off a long firecracker battle in her own home, it was the first time she really felt that she had put down her roots here.

Sitting on the edge of the kang in the main room, with the window open, looking out of the window, on New Year's Eve, this is the imperial city, so naturally there will be fireworks to be set off, and looking at the sky from a distance, she suddenly felt a little heavy.

"Still sleeping?" Jia Zheng didn't know when he stood outside the window.

"Go to sleep, happy new year!" Ai Ruo suddenly didn't want to confront Jia Zheng.Maybe it's Chinese New Year, even though she is a believer, she is also Chinese, and as a Chinese, she seems to have a special feeling for New Year's Eve.Just like Westerners, when it comes to Christmas, there will be a Christmas spirit, equality, mutual help, or a soft heart.

"At four o'clock, I'm going to the Ning Mansion to open a ancestral hall to worship the ancestors. You have to go back to the Rong Mansion to prepare?" Jia Zheng felt a little uncomfortable, and didn't know what he wanted to say.He didn't even have the courage to go into the house, only dared to talk to her through the window.

"Well, I can only cook longevity noodles for Yuan'er at night." Ai Ruo hugged her shoulders tightly, and as night fell, the dew became heavier and the chill was overwhelming.She still had the window open, if it wasn't for the hot kang, she would have been frozen to death.

"You hate me?" Jia Zheng suddenly remembered that at this time last year, his wife was giving birth, and he...

"What?" Ai Ruo was stunned, and didn't connect with Jia Zheng for a moment.

"It's okay! Take a break!" Jia Zheng fled. It turned out that there were some things that he really couldn't face.

Jixiang brought out a heater to Ai Ruo, and Ruyi quickly closed the window to prevent Ai Ruo from staring outside in a daze.Grandma's mood is a bit abnormal these days.Laugh out loud sometimes.But sometimes, when there is no one, I will be alone in a daze, feeling that they don't even know each other.I feel that the person sitting there is not Second Mistress, but someone else.

Ai Ruo didn't think about Jia Zheng.She was thinking about herself.She even forgot how many happy New Year's Eves she had.When I was young, I didn't think it was a thing at all. The best thing about Chinese New Year is to be able to set off firecrackers, have lucky money, and beautiful new clothes to wear.I never thought about the meaning of Chinese New Year.When I grow up, I go out to study, and I don’t know how to go home during the holidays, so I go around with my classmates to play.

Wait until you graduate.When they got married, they were both resident doctors at that time, and they had to schedule shifts during Chinese New Year and holidays, 36 hours, no matter what happened or not.You have to stay in the hospital.But she is an obstetrics and gynecology department. It seems that there are a lot of babies during the Chinese New Year.Then there is very little produced naturally.

When she finally survived the five-year hospitalization period and became a formal doctor, she would still have to be called back when she went home, because the resident doctor could not operate independently without the guidance of a formal doctor for some major operations.

Been busy for many years.My husband often said that it doesn't matter if we can celebrate the festival together, as long as they are together, it is a festival.Come to think of it, they were really busy then.I always feel that they are still young.They worked harder while they were young, prepared more for the children and the elderly, and had plenty of time to be together in the future.

Until she lost it all at once!

Kenya, let her understand what cherishing is, but she also knows that she really has nothing to love in life, just like knowing that her parents are getting old, but she still can't get rid of the shadow of her loss.At midnight, she still wakes up crying.She regretted that she didn't give her husband and children more time, she regretted that she didn't spend a year with them in peace.

Now that she has a daughter and a son, she is willing to work hard for them.Live hard for their future.But when she really saw the fireworks in the outer courtyard, she still felt like a dream.

She used to stand on the tall building of the hospital, holding hot coffee and watching the fireworks outside the window, calling her husband and asking if her daughter was asleep?Imagining her daughter's sleeping face, she didn't regret it then, but now, does she regret it?

"Grandma!" Ruyi was a little worried, and grandma seemed sad again.However, like Jia Zheng, they also thought of last year and today, so they felt the same way.I think grandma should be sad, it's strange if she isn't sad.

"Go to sleep, I'm going to sleep too." Ai Ruo pretended to be ignorant, she couldn't actually sleep for a while, but just rested and recuperated.Jixiang and Ruyi looked at each other, dimmed the lights, and retreated to the outside room with worries on their faces.

Ai Ruo actually doesn't know why the ancient family worshiped the ancestors in the early morning, but she doesn't care about it. As a daughter-in-law, although she can't participate, these men worship the ancestors except to kowtow, other things are all It was prepared by the women.Even if they go to kowtow, the women can't rest, because the men have to come back to have breakfast after worshiping the ancestors, because after breakfast, they have to go to the palace to pay New Year's greetings.

Mrs. Zhang can't work hard, although Jia Min can help, but after all, it's still a girl's house, and there are some things that can only be watched.Ai Ruo actually thinks it's really boring, there are rules, but people have to watch, what rules?Thinking of the roll call early in the morning, we have to see how the preparations are going?Really let herself arrange and prepare everywhere, she really doesn't have to do anything.

She made a comfortable place for herself in the West Flower Hall, relying on a doze, so that people would come back to her.It doesn't matter, basically, those in charge don't dare to return to her, as long as she is in the mansion, no one dares to make trouble.

Ai Ruo is full of impatience knowing this.Knowing that they have messed up, I will not spare them, so what is the difference between whether I am present or not?Why do you have to come and stare at him early in the morning?

What was even more impatient was that Jia Zhu was so young and was carried to worship the ancestors. Who made him the eldest son of the second room!It's freezing cold outside, and I don't know if it will be frozen.Thinking of Jia Zhu being called up in the morning, Ai Ruo's heart ached.When she came over, she told Jia Zheng to protect her son for a long time, but she didn't know if Jia Zheng listened or not.I don't know, the man and machine who followed are not smart, and I don't know how to watch the hand stove or something, and it will be troublesome if it is turned off.Ai Ruo is full of resentment towards the New Year with the lawsuit on her mind.
