"Son, why did you suddenly remember to ask this, I didn't ask much about the things at home, your aunt is in charge, your Aunt Su and Aunt Xie are also in charge of each other, reporting accounts every quarter and settling accounts every year, what's wrong?" Mother Feng laughed, "Could it be that you are going to let your mother hand over these things to you at home?" Even if you want to get married, it will take two years, and if the bride wants to take over, you have to learn, right? ”

"No, my son is thinking about it, let's sit in the capital and eat nothing, especially my father's side has consumed a lot recently, if we don't open source, I'm afraid this kind of life will be difficult to sustain for too long." Feng Ziying thought about it for a while, but still talked about it.

"In addition, my son went back to Linqing this time, and found that the Feng family had declined in Linqing, although it was still ranked among the three families, but in fact it was far from the Zhou family and the Ren family, and the other rooms of the Feng family had become ordinary people, engaged in cheap labor, there were many helpers, and even many children had a trip of chicken and dog theft, Linqing Prefecture Zhang Fuzun and He Tuiguan were very regretful in their conversations, this is still in front of their son, maybe they turned their backs, I am afraid it is contempt and disdain."

Feng Mu's face suddenly turned ugly.

Although the Feng family has been away from Linqing for many years, everyone knows that the Feng family can be ranked among the three major families in Linqing, that is, the father-in-law has laid a great foundation from the dragon, but the father-in-law has passed away, and the uncle and the second uncle have passed away, and the revitalization of the Feng family actually falls on her husband.

It is actually so easy for the Feng family to revitalize, which involves a lot of expenses, the repair and even construction of the ancestral house, the expansion of the Feng ancestral hall, and the study and even advancement of the children of the Feng family, these are all things, but where can the Feng family afford such a big expense in the one or two hundred acres of land and a few shops in Linqing?

After Feng You came back, he had already vaguely mentioned what his son had done in Linqing, which made Feng's mother very unhappy.

Of course, she won't blame her son, but blame Feng You for why he didn't stop Brother Keng'er's behavior, and now that her son mentions this again, she can't help but make Feng's mother feel a little different.

Mother Feng also knows that in such a situation, I am afraid that some things cannot be avoided, if the name of the family of Lin Qingsan is lost in her husband, I am afraid that her husband will be poked in the backbone wherever he goes in the future, which is also unacceptable.

Seeing that her mother was silent, Feng Ziying also knew that her words had touched her mind, and continued: "Father is the leader of our Linqing Feng family, the eldest uncle and the second uncle are gone, Suzhou Feng's side is too far, we don't seem to have much contact, whether it is Linqing or Suzhou, I am afraid that my father will be stared at first, so my father and mother still need to think about this matter." ”

Feng's mother hesitated, and seemed to feel that her son's words were not unreasonable, the Feng clan in the north seemed to be looking at her husband's branch, if the Feng clan fell, I am afraid that all the clansmen would be scolded in the future.

"Son, you also know the situation at home now, your father is still idle at home, and it is far away to return to Datong, this silver is used like water, but there is no response, if you rely on the support of the current family, I am afraid it will be difficult to last, if there are other expenses, I am afraid it will be even more difficult."

Mother Feng sighed, "If you want to say that our family is relatively provincial, you look at other people's homes, don't talk about anything else, just say that Jinxianghou, Shoushanbo, Jingtianhou are among these families, which family is not raised by one or two hundred people?" When you go out, how can you be as frugal as our family, and go out on a budget? I'm still thinking that if I can't do it, I'll let some more people out and save a few. ”

Feng Ziying was speechless, just like this in her own home, is it still called thrifty and budgeting?

Of course, if you want to compare with the Jia family and the Wang family, these families must be much worse, but there are many branches, and they are two people, or they are now the envoys of the Jingying Festival and the right attendant of the military department, can you compare? It's different.

"Mother, we can't compare with others, as the saying goes, watch the food and eat, tailor-made, my father is still free, and there are one hundred and ten people in the family to raise, and the more this time, the more we can't cut people casually, otherwise this gossip will go out, and we will have to bury our Feng family even more unlikely." Feng Ziying hurriedly said.

This era is not as simple as later generations, sending people away, but the sour words behind this are really quite devastating.

If this is going to be spread, the Feng family can't even support the servants, mothers-in-law, maids, and miscellaneous servants, so what does it mean, it can only mean that your family is going to collapse, especially if you are a noble of the hairpin family for generations, if you are not some civil officials who want to sell their reputation, it is easier to be regarded as a sign of the decline of the family.

Mother Feng didn't expect her son to think so far-reaching, so she thought about it, and it was really like this, which made her also break out in a cold sweat.

She really had this idea, there are probably a lot of people in the eighty or ninety family who eat idle meals, and it makes sense to send some out, but she didn't expect this layer.

"Son, what do you think of now?" Duan slowly figured out that his son was afraid that he would come to him specifically to say these words because he had some ideas.

The husband doesn't care about things, and he only knows that she and her sister are in charge of the family's annual income and expenses, but her husband is now spending a lot of money, and his livelihood has not changed from the original, so he has to think about it more.

It would be fine if the husband could really recover, but now it seems that there is no quasi-letter, and in two or three years, his son said that he would face this matter of marriage.

If a bride is married, the house will be small.

It turned out that I had also discussed with my husband to expand the back, and it would be best to buy the dilapidated yard next door if I could, and rebuild the layout, the cost of this back and forth would be over, and it was estimated that there would be no 108,000 yuan.

Thinking of this, the Duan family was also a little worried, these are all real expenses on the surface, not counting all kinds of unexpected expenses, the expenses of this big family are so big every year, but the income has never increased, this is a big problem.

"Mother, in fact, it's very simple, open source and reduce expenditure, but throttling is very easy for our family now, if my father is used by the imperial court, it is still a good thing to cut people, but now it is definitely not suitable, and even we have to appropriately add manpower." Feng Ziying said unhurriedly: "The best way is to open source, we can't always keep guarding this one-third of an acre of land to make a living, we have to find some other ways to plan and make a living, in order to maintain the Feng family." ”

"Looks like you've found a way?" Feng Tang's voice came from outside the door, obviously coming over as soon as he got up.

Feng Ziying hurriedly got up and saluted, "Father." ”
