One tael of silver is converted into a thousand copper coins. These two hundred taels of silver are two hundred coins, which is not a fraction.
Liu Ruolan carefully calculated it. If they were only responsible for household expenses, then the money would be enough to last until next spring, and there would still be a lot left over, so their food would not be too bad.
Liu Ruolan read all the brochures Xie Xiuwen wrote to her one by one.
Years ago, Zhu Weng didn't need to put extra monthly money. After all, there was so much food and two hundred coins left, which was enough to support them during the New Year.
Then there are Yueyin, the first few servants in the family.
Fang Hu is the housekeeper, and his monthly salary is the highest. Currently, it is tentatively one tael of silver. Fang Hu's wife, Gu Shi, earns 800 coins. Fang Ping, who stays with Brother Lang, can earn 300 coins a month.
The rest are Sister-in-law Wang and Douzi, who both earn 600 yuan a month.
In addition, even the master has to start receiving monthly payments.
Liu Ruolan will receive two taels of silver a month for the time being. Xie Ronlang, like Guabao, will receive one tael of silver every month, but this money will be paid out together with Liu Ruolan's monthly money. When the time comes, it will all be taken care of by Liu Ruolan. It is regarded as her first. small private treasury.
Xie Zhou won't receive the monthly payment for the time being because Xie Xiuwen mentioned it to him, but he refused to ask for it. If Xie Xiuwen insisted on paying it, he would have returned home.
In this case, Xie Xiuwen couldn't make things difficult for him anymore. Fortunately, the food and clothing at home were all provided, so he would just have to complain if there was anything missing.
Douzi was also a discerning person, one of the Four Treasures of the Study, and prepared a copy of everything for Xie Zhou, and he was of the same quality as Xie Ronlang.
Liu Ruolan then calculated the food, clothing and chewing expenses for the whole family for a month. If they ate meat every three days, the monthly expenses would be about ten taels of silver. In this case, these two hundred taels would last a long time.
Now Gu Shi is following Liu Ruolan, while Sister-in-law Wang goes to the kitchen. She is mainly responsible for the food and drink of the whole family. However, sometimes when she is too busy, Gu Shi will help out.
In this way, Xie Xiuwen and his family were living a decent life in the capital, and the family's schedule became more and more regular.
Xie Rongzhao doesn't go out anymore. He spends every day at home either practicing calligraphy, reading, or working as a female celebrity with Liu Ruolan.
Liu Ruolan knew that money should be spent on her husband first, so she tried her best to make the clothes for her family by herself, which was always cheaper than buying ready-made clothes.
Xie Xiuwen wrote a letter to Ge Er over there in Gaoyang County, and also sent a letter to Xie Zhai.
When Ge Sangou arrived at Xie's house, Xie Ronghui happened to be taking a nap.
"Greetings to the eldest young master. The younger one's surname is Ge, and his original name was Sangou. Later, he was given the name Sanshun by the master. The younger one received the master's letter and came here specially to serve you."
Ge Sangou, or rather Ge Sanshun, was fourteen today, three years older than Xie Ronghui, so it was quite appropriate to have him running errands and carrying things.
Xie Ronghui was excited. He originally thought that his second uncle left him in his hometown because he didn't want to see him. After all, it was his parents who killed his second uncle and his second aunt.
Unexpectedly, second uncle, no, it should be said that his father has already made arrangements. Since he is willing to send someone to take care of him, it means that his father has no resentment towards him.
When he thought of this possibility, Xie Ronghui felt that he was alive again and could see the light again.
Grandpa Xie was quite satisfied with his second son's arrangement. After all, Xie Ronghui was adopted by his second son. He couldn't really turn a blind eye to his stepson just because of the scientific examination.
"Since it was arranged by your father, you should use it first. Your father also said that he is a juren and has three hundred shi of rice a year and twenty taels of silver. This money will be used as public money. , so you don’t have to be burdened.”
"Yes, thank you, grandpa."
When Grandpa Xie looked at his eldest grandson, he always felt that he looked very much like his former second son.
Thinking about the incompetent Xie Xiuran, and then looking at the now polite and diligent eldest grandson, I always feel that this grandson should belong to the second family. After all, no matter how I look at it, I feel that someone like Xie Xiuran cannot give birth to such an outstanding son.
The more Mr. Xie looked at it, the more satisfied he became. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was the right decision to adopt this eldest grandson into the name of the second child.
So what if I can't inherit the second child's family business in the future?
Just relying on the name Xie Xiuwen can bring a lot of benefits to Xie Ronghui.
Be content!
In this way, Ge San stayed with Xie Ronghui and became his servant.
Today, Mr. Xie is considered the number one person in Xiejiazhuang, and he is a serious old man.
In fact, according to the laws of the great dynasty, only those who win the election can be truly called the master, and the father of the candidate is naturally the old man.
In the past, because Xie Xiuwen was the only scholar in Xiejiazhuang and he was also very respectable in Gaoyang County, everyone respectfully called him "Old Master". However, on some important occasions, they did not dare to call him like this.
Grandpa Xie felt that he was truly proud now. A few days ago, he even made a trip to the county town specifically to anger his elder brother and younger brother.
Naturally, the two of them would not accept his showing off, so what if their son had a future? If you hadn't ruined his family first, Xie Xiuwen might have already joined the court as an official by now!
Tsk, you have the nerve to come out and show off, why don’t you know how to go home and reflect on it!
Cheng Jingzhou, on the other hand, would sit at his desk almost every day and record what he had seen and heard today. In addition to writing articles, he also had to remember to write letters to Guobao.
Every time Xie Rongzhao wrote to him, he reminded him to be careful about Cheng Yuanyuan and remember to be vigilant and not let people around him deceive her.
If anyone else had said this, Cheng Jingzhou would have ignored it.
But the person who wrote the letter was Xie Rongzhao, so that was a different matter.
Cheng Jingzhou had seen Xie Rongzhao's good luck with his own eyes.
A casually thrown teacup can block other people's hidden weapons and save the life of the prince of the Hou family. What a blessing!
Therefore, Cheng Jingzhou takes Xie Rongzhao's words as a guideline. Unless necessary, he basically does not enter the backyard now. Moreover, when he goes to greet the old lady or mother, he always follows a few brothers and never acts alone. .
Not only that, he also deliberately avoided Cheng Yuanyuan. Even when they were in the same room, he would always sit farthest away from Cheng Yuanyuan.
Cheng Jingzhou didn't understand why Xie Rongzhao asked him to stay away from Cheng Yuanyuan, but after several secret investigations, Cheng Jingzhou was no longer calm.
How can a little girl who looks so pretty and cute on the surface be so cruel?
Cheng Jingzhou is such a thief. If he finds an opportunity and makes some arrangements, he will expose Cheng Yuanyuan's abuse of his servants.
Now, the inner courtyard of Cheng Mansion was bustling.
Mrs. Cheng San covered her face and cried so hard that she couldn't understand. Where was Sister Yuan who was once so sunny and sweet?
Could it be that everything in the past was all her illusion?
