People in this era like to buy fields, but there are not many fields around the capital. If they are too far away, it will be inconvenient to deal with them.
On the other hand, you can buy a house in Beijing.
In every dynasty, housing in the capital is in short supply, and you will definitely not lose money if you buy one.
So Linlang planned to let Mrs. Li use the extra money to buy a house; if Mrs. Li still liked the land and didn't want to buy a house, then she would use her own spare money to buy it.
After all, she didn't want to be too tired. Buying a field was so far away and inconvenient to manage, but buying a house was different. It was right in the middle of the capital and was very easy to handle.
In the past, I had to bear the expenses of the third house. Although I had the reward from the imperial concubine, it was still not enough. I needed to pay more for the big house. Fortunately, Duke Zhou was in the court at that time, so there were various other incomes, such as filial piety and rewards from the emperor. , can afford it.
Now that something happened to Duke Zhou, the filial piety will definitely be gone, and the emperor's rewards will definitely be reduced. That is to say, the Queen Mother may think that Duke Zhou is pitiful and will not reduce the rewards.
So what Linlang said was not a lie. The current Zhou Guogong Mansion really couldn't afford the expenses of three bedrooms.
After all, don't forget that Mrs. Zhou also has to bear the expenses. She also has a lot of expenses.
Therefore, it is necessary to stop the supply of three-bedroom apartments.
Li's housekeeper has been a housekeeper for so long, so she naturally knows this truth. It's just that she is a junior and it is difficult to bring up this matter. Now that Linlang has come forward to solve this matter, it is naturally a good thing.
In fact, she was planning to make this suggestion to Linlang.
It's just that the last time I talked about the treatment of Aunt Cui and Aunt Cai, her mother-in-law was slapped in the face by Zhou Guogong, which made her very uncomfortable, so she proposed not to provide a third room, but Li was a little afraid to mention it, fearing that she would not let her mother-in-law Something happened again.
As a result, my mother-in-law took care of it before I even mentioned it, so she was naturally happy.
Speaking of which, so what if Zhou Guogong slapped his mother-in-law in the face before? Less than two months later, something happened to him. Now he is in such a state of desolation. Compared with his mother-in-law, he is as old as two generations. He deserves it. I asked you to slap your mother-in-law in the face. Now that you are fine, you have been slapped in the face by God, right?
It feels like God is on the mother-in-law's side, otherwise why would my father-in-law be so unlucky?
——It is normal for Li to dislike Duke Zhou, because when Duke Zhou rejected Linlang's decision, it was actually her decision. In other words, Duke Zhou actually slapped her in the face.
When she thought about being bullied by Aunt Cui and Aunt Cai, and then being slapped in the face by her father-in-law after she fought back, could Li's feelings for Zhou Guogong get better? It is normal for him to be happy when he is unlucky.
Because Zhou Guogong was doing so badly now, and then some of the servants took the initiative to deal with Aunt Cui and Aunt Cai, making life miserable for those two people who had caused her a lot of trouble, she felt a lot less angry. Therefore, I didn't mention the treatment of those two people. After all, I mentioned that at the time to retaliate against Aunt Cai and Cui. Now that the two of them have been miserable, we can forget about it for the time being.
Anyway, the last time my father-in-law slapped my mother-in-law in the face, although my mother-in-law's status in the house dropped a bit, now, with my father-in-law in decline, my mother-in-law's status in the house is even higher than before.
So, sometimes things can’t just look at the present, but also look at the future.
Looking at my mother-in-law, the family used to laugh at her mother-in-law being slapped in the face by her father-in-law. What happened? However, within two months, her father-in-law received retribution and was slapped in the face in return.
But she said that at the moment, Mrs. Li really preferred to buy the land rather than the house, because Zhuangzi would give output to the house, but the house, except for the silver from selling it, had no output, so Li felt it was not as good as Zhuangzi.
Since Mr. Li likes to buy land, Linlang will naturally not object. After all, it is Mr. Li who is worried about her. Now that she has become the hands-off shopkeeper, she basically does not have to worry about the housekeeper. Unless Mr. Li has something to do and asks her, she will I will help you a little.
So Linlang only had to worry about her own dowry.
Speaking of which, when the original wife got married, it was a time when both families were in prosperity, so the Duke's government gave the Sun family a lot of betrothal gifts, and the Sun family also gave a lot of dowry.
So just taking care of these betrothal gifts and dowry would take a lot of time for Linlang.
In order not to increase the burden, Linlang sold the farthest Zhuangzi in her name to Gongzhong, that is, to the Li family. Anyway, Gongzhong wanted to buy Zhuangzi. At least those who bought Linlang did not have to worry about being cheated, and Linlang was famous. The farthest Zhuangzi is actually not that far away. After all, it is impossible for the original person to buy from a Zhuangzi that is too far away.
Then he used the money to buy some houses in Beijing, and he didn't rent them out, he just left them there waiting for prices to rise.
Now the dynasty is relatively stable, there are not many wars at the border, and there are no major uprisings in various places. There is no need to worry about the collapse of the dynasty, trouble in the capital, the flight of princes and nobles, or the house being worthless, so it can be bought.
In fact, even if there was any trouble, Linlang would help the emperor steal money from some big businesses that had broken the law, and use the money to settle the troubles, just like in the previous world.
Anyway, when she was in this world, she didn't want to be affected by the chaos in the world.
Of course, ordinary people definitely don't want to. After all, in troubled times, human life is like nothing. Most of the time, 90% of people will die in chaos. The longer the chaos lasts, the more people will die. In this way, who likes troubled times?
But now that the big house can no longer afford the expenses of the third house, the money saved by the third house has been rapidly reduced.
There is no way. In recent years, due to the supply of large houses, the expenses for the three houses have been very lavish, which is not something they can afford with their little money. After all, generally speaking, if it is not a branch of the main branch, after the separation, There is no money to support the expenses of more than 10,000 taels per year. After all, in this era, most of the property is inherited by the eldest family, and the other families can not inherit much property - in fact, it is not only in this era, The same goes for modern large companies. They are afraid that if the family property is divided equally, the company will become weaker.
So the same applies to the third wife. Even if Mrs. Zhou is the second wife and the third wife is the legitimate son, the share will not be as much as that of the first wife.
Mrs. Zhou, as the successor, was not from a high background. After all, the old Duke was already old at that time and from a good family, who would marry their daughter to an older man whose title would not fall to his grandson? It doesn't matter if this man is a Duke. After all, if he cannot inherit the title and the property cannot be divided, then even if he is a Duke, he will be severely demoted in the marriage market. At most, he will be a little better than an ordinary rich man. , after all, he is the Duke of the country, and he can still support his natal family.
As for Xu Xian's natal family, who needs the support of the old prince, the natural conditions are not so good. After all, a family with good conditions does not need the support of the old prince.
Because Mrs. Zhou was not of high birth, her dowry was naturally not much.
