In the past, Feng Ziying didn't feel much when she arrived, because Wan Lu was the second housekeeper in the mansion. Except for Feng Shou, who was his father's former nanny and is now the chief housekeeper, Feng Shou usually only took care of his father's affairs and usually followed his father in Datong. Over there, now Wan Lu is basically in charge of the daily affairs in the mansion.
It is indeed a troublesome thing for this family to grow.
To say that the Feng family is relatively weak, Feng's father's generation, the three brothers Feng Qin, Feng Han and Feng Tang, the two above either died in the battlefield or died of illness, and they were unable to start a family. Only Feng Tang managed to survive. Lord, took over the archway of General Shenwu.
But Feng Ziying's grandfather passed away ten years ago, and her grandmother died even earlier, so the population was small. Among the several aunts, except for Aunt Su who gave birth to a daughter who was only five years old, Feng Ziying was the only one who was the only son.
Even so, there are hundreds of people in the house.
In addition to a few masters, Feng's father had four or five eldest followers, and Feng You was one of them.
There were also the maids and servants that Feng's mother and several aunts brought from their parents' homes, and there were about ten people here and there.
Then there are the daily servants in the house, those who raise and drive horses, build carts, gardeners, masons, masons, washrooms, those responsible for daily cleaning, and those responsible for the kitchen, night watch guards, etc.
Don't underestimate it. Counting all the aunts in the house, there are six, but almost everyone has to be cared for by more than ten people. Every month, just this monthly silver expense is as high as two yuan. Three hundred taels.
This does not include daily expenses for food, clothing, housing and transportation.
In addition to daily routine expenses, the daily entertainment and social expenses are not small. From time to time, you have to go to the theater, go to the temple, worship the Buddha and worship the Taoism. Do you need a reward?
Today this aunt is going to put on a show, and tomorrow the wife and aunt in some house will be invited back, and in the days to come, the seven aunts and eight aunts in the family friend will be celebrating their birthdays again, all these bits and pieces. , only what you can’t think of.
Originally, Feng Ziying had not calculated it, but now that she thinks about it, it may have been difficult to live in the capital since ancient times.
Holding the scroll in her hand, Feng Ziying had a lot on her mind.
He wasn't very clear about the family's financial situation, but it should be pretty good, otherwise his father wouldn't have the energy to plan for a comeback.
It is not an easy thing to make a comeback these days, especially for a martial artist like Father Feng. There are only so many positions, everyone is watching, and everyone has a background, so you have to talk about connections and connections. silver.
When Feng Ziying left the capital for Linqing, she vaguely heard from her father and mother that they estimated that it would cost ten or twenty thousand silver. At that time, she was not aware of this, but now that she has calculated it, it is really a huge sum that cannot be underestimated.
The annual expenditure of a middle-class family is only twenty taels. To solve such a problem, it would cost so much. This shows how big the internal corruption problem of the Zhou Dynasty was.
Just being a Shenwu General with the false title consumes a lot of entertainment every year, and without all kinds of filial piety and other hidden income, it is really difficult for the Feng family to support it.
This is a very real problem, which is probably why my father wants to get up as soon as possible.
Only when she was in it, Feng Ziying deeply felt that it was not that simple to survive in this world, even if she was in a well-established family.
The snake has a big hole, so all kinds of expenses are indispensable, and you have to hold up the scene, otherwise if someone sees through it, you will fall faster.
Everyone in the Feng family has his own way of eating.
Even Feng Ziying rarely dines with her parents, and Feng's father, Feng's mother and aunts all eat in their own courtyards. Only when the wife invites her to do so will she eat with her.
Eating is not as luxurious as imagined, but it is not simple either.
The three or four dishes included a lot of content, such as pickled cucumbers, pickled goose breast, steamed fish, and stewed squab. The white pigeon fat in the casserole was like milk soup, which made Feng Ziying's appetite whet her appetite.
During the more than ten days in Linqing, I hardly had any good food. Aunt Fu could do it, but how could it be as good as at home?
These are things that she has always liked. Even this soul who traveled through time fell in love with this kind of luxurious life. For this, Feng Ziying felt that she should work hard.
Naturally, it was Yun Shang who was waiting for Feng Ziying to eat. Boys like Ruixiang always ate in the lower courtyard. This was also the rule of a wealthy family.
Although the Feng family cannot compare with wealthy families such as King Jia Shi, Xue Si Wang and Ba Gong, it has been cultivated for several generations and has developed some rules.
Feng Ziying really wanted Yun Shang to come and eat with him, but he also knew that Yun Shang would never accept it, and he would be regarded as an alternative, so he simply put aside these unrealistic ideas and enjoyed himself. .
After eating, a bowl of digestion soup was brought to him, and he put it down after drinking it. Yun Shang handed over a hot towel to wipe his mouth, and then packed up the things and sent them out. Naturally, someone was outside to pick them up, and there was almost no hindrance. It's like running smoothly, obviously it's a habit that has been developed for a long time.
This is the life of a truly wealthy family.
Feng Ziying feels that time travel has come so quickly, and today is probably the most comfortable day for her. She enjoys this kind of enjoyment every day, and even if she becomes an emperor, she will not change it, but this kind of life also requires struggle.
Not only must you struggle, but you must also use your own wisdom and experience. From now on, you must go all out. Not just yourself, but the resources of the entire Feng family need to be effectively mobilized by yourself to surround the fate of the Feng family. Come and fight, of course you will bear the brunt.
Sitting back in the study room, there was fine bamboo rib paper placed on the table.
This kind of bamboo ribbed paper is slightly thicker than the green sandalwood ribbed paper, but more tough. It is not as absorbent as the green sandalwood ribbed paper, but it is still valuable.
Speaking of langhao, Feng Ziying moved her wrist. It had been a long time since she had written calligraphy with calligraphy.
This body actually has some basics, but it is definitely not as good as the one in the previous life, and the hand also appears to be much smaller.
Yun Shang was already waiting aside, grinding ink for Feng Ziying. When the ink in the inkstone was suitable, Feng Ziying started writing.
Write what? Of course, write down your next steps and plans.
In the past ten days since the Soul Transmigration, Feng Ziying has been trying to figure out her future.
My soul in a twelve-year-old body is a modern soul in my forties. If I have to survive in this world, or even want to survive better, I have to integrate and use the wisdom and experience of my previous life to seek the best. opportunities and status.
