Jia Lu through the Red Chamber

Mrs. Zhang shook her head and said,

"I know that her hands are a little tricky, but I'm different from you. I've been a homeowner for more than ten years, and I know how much the loss should be every month. If you look at it according to previous years, this more than 200 taels Loss is also normal, not only because of poor annual growth. In fact, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, our purchase costs have been increasing every year, so it is normal for the cost of loss to increase every year..... .”

Hearing this, Jia Lu secretly thought that this must be inflation.

"Today, this member of Daliang's family first despised you, and then I warned you a little bit with words. I felt guilty, and you exposed the things that happened this year. I lost my mind and lost my mind. Otherwise, you won't be able to hold her."

Jia Lu was lucky to hear it, but, "Sister-in-law, what if I haven't found her problem?"

Seeing that she was still a little confused, Mrs. Zhang pointed out,

"I didn't originally ask you to find out about any servant woman. When the water is clear, there will be no fish. Everyone has selfishness, and everyone will hide their own selfishness. It takes years of accumulated talent to distinguish loyalty and treachery. Those who have experience, these are not urgent, I just want to see how you treat people and ask people."

Jia Lu straightened her body and said, "I also ask my sister-in-law to give me some pointers."

"For example, you shouldn't call her Mrs. Zhang in the first sentence. I know you are soft-hearted and respectful, no matter who you are, you respect everyone, but on this occasion, you only have one identity, and that is the master. She If you are a servant, then you can't call out this demeaning name, otherwise you will not only belittle yourself, but also make that person pick it up, so no matter who it is, even if it is Butler Jiao Da After the classic questioning and answering, you have to call him Jiao Da's.

Another one, checking the bills is not just looking at the ledgers, the ledgers are dead, but people are alive. It is your ability to find loopholes in the ledgers today, but don’t forget, it was Zhang Daliang’s family who lost their sense of proportion, so ..."

"Grandma! Miss, the old lady invited the two of you over!"

While the two were talking, they heard a girl outside calling for someone. Mrs. Zhang called her in and asked her carefully.

"Did the old lady come to call the eldest girl back to the garden? Why are you still looking for me?" Jia Lu is the fourth eldest in the clan, but she is the only girl in Ning Mansion, so there are also people who are called the eldest girl.

The little girl replied, "It's not for this reason, but because the second day of the next day is Lian's second grandma's birthday, the old lady wanted to celebrate Lian's second grandma's birthday, so she came up with the idea of ​​asking grandma to help It's up to the host to arrange it!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhang said, "So I'm going to be a coolie and a rich man. Come on, Sister Lu, since the old lady has called, let's go there!"

Jia Lu agreed, thinking that after today, she might have to live in the garden, so some people went back to the yard to pack up some things, and after a delay, they rushed over. When the two passed, roughly After they were all allocated, Mother Jia saw the two men coming, and hurriedly shouted,

"Daughter-in-law Zhen, Sister Lu, come quickly and see if we can hold a decent banquet with these things we gathered together?"

As he said that someone handed over a piece of paper, Mrs. Zhang did not shirk it, not to mention that she is the only one who is of the same generation as Wang Xifeng, and the others are elders, and there is no elder who personally presides over the birthday of the younger daughter-in-law. Two daughters-in-law, one is pregnant, the other is rich and precious, who dares to bother them, there is no one else who can do it except himself, and Wang Xifeng has also helped them a lot, like the death of the Han family, like the former brother Qiang Wang Xifeng's help is indispensable for getting married, and he is willing to help her celebrate her birthday.

Mrs. Zhang looked at the total first, and it was more than 150 taels. Although it is not a lot, it is enough if you don’t invite outsiders. If it is not enough, you can add one or two. The wife and Aunt Xue are 20 taels, the former brings Miss Lin and Baoyu, the latter brings Baochai, the wives are 18 taels, the original 16 taels plus two boys, Jia Cong brought by the eldest wife, and Jia Lan brought by the second wife Li Wan doesn't need to come out, the same goes for other Nanny Lai and others, and then the girls, the second girl and the third girl are all her monthly cases.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhang smiled and asked, "Did the girls pay their own monthly bills?"

Jia Mu nodded and said with a smile, "That's right, their children's family, just take the meaning of a month's routine."

Suddenly, Mrs. Zhang pushed out a person behind her, and said, "Then how much should our little rich man pay?"

It was Jia Lu who was pushed out. Before she could figure out what was going on, Wang Xifeng figured it out as soon as she turned her head, and came over to pull her with a smile, saying,

"Very, very true, thanks to my sister-in-law, otherwise I would have ignored you, a rich man." He said to Jiamu while pulling her,

"Old lady, you can't ignore her. She ate two taels of money by herself. Our house has a monthly rule of two taels of silver. In the house over there, since she was born as a daughter, the original two taels of silver will be given away. The silver has doubled and became four taels, Mrs. Jing went, Master Jing was worried that his daughter would suffer in our house, and said that sister Lu's original monthly schedule had already grown, and if it grew longer, it would not be in line with the rules. I gave him four taels from my monthly bill. Now, the monthly bill is ten taels, and I only have five taels a month, which is double my amount. I can’t let her pay for two taels. The one who suffers is the second girl. With the third girl!"

Listening to her crackling calculations, Jia's mother couldn't help laughing, and said, "You stupid monkey, you don't know how to calculate other things, but you pay close attention to your sister's monthly schedule!"

Wang Xifeng refused, and said, "The old lady only knows to talk about me, don't you think there is another one over there, who pushed the fourth younger sister out? It can be seen that the fourth younger sister's monthly rate is so high that everyone is greedy. I just have to make her bleed."

Only now did Mother Jia think that Zhang Shi also had this role, and pointed to her, "Yes, yes, there is still you, but you have withdrawn and kept silent, making people ignore you! Sister Lu, come to the ancestor's place Come on, your two sister-in-laws are not good people, they are all looking at your little money!"

Jia Lu didn't speak, and ran over with a smile. Baoyu and Daiyu were in Jia's mother's arms. She went up by herself, pushed Baoyu away, and winked at Daiyu.

"Talk about your business, and go to run on Baoyu!"

Jia Lu replied, "He has a good temper!"

But just as Jia Lu said, Baoyu has such a good temper, even if she is squeezed out, she is not annoyed, and smiles cheerfully.

They had a lot of time talking, and Nanny Lai helped to speak, "Just now I said that Lian's second grandma and daughter-in-law are strangers, and the inner niece is the outer niece, and now there is another one, and the sister-in-law is the outer sister-in-law." It's time for the two of them to become sisters-in-law!"
