Character Scroll Section 62 It is not easy to live in the capital

In the past, Feng Ziying didn't feel much when she arrived, because Wan Lu was the second housekeeper in the house, except for Feng Shou, who was his father's former brother and is now the big housekeeper, but Feng Shou generally only takes care of the affairs around his father, and usually follows his father in Datong, and now the daily affairs of the house here are basically managed by Wan Lu.

It's a real trouble when this family grows up.

To say that the Feng family is relatively thin, Feng's father's generation, Feng Qin, Feng Han, Feng Tang three brothers, the two above either died in battle or died of illness, none of them were able to start a family, only Feng Tang survived, attacked the lord, and took over the archway of General Shenwu.

But Feng Ziying's grandfather died ten years ago, and her grandmother died even earlier, so she was thin, and among the aunts, except for Aunt Su, who gave birth to a daughter who was only five years old, there was only Feng Ziying, the only son.

Even so, there are 100 people up and down 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 are also maids and servants brought by Feng's mother and a few aunts from their parents' homes, and there are more than a dozen people in bits and pieces.

Then there are the daily servants of the house, the ones who raise horses and drive horses, those who set up chariots, gardeners, stonemasons, plasterers, pulp washers, those who are responsible for daily cleaning and hygiene, and those who are responsible for the kitchen, the guards who keep vigil, and so on.

Don't underestimate it, after this calculation, the masters of the whole house count the aunts, that is, six, but almost everyone has to put a dozen or so people to serve, and the monthly silver expenses are as high as two or three hundred taels per month.

And that's not even counting the cost of daily food, clothing, housing and transportation.

In addition to the daily routine expenses, this ordinary entertainment and social expenses are not small, from time to time you have to watch a play, step on the spring, enter the temple Taoist temple to worship the Buddha and worship the Tao, you have to reward, right?

Today, this aunt is going to put on a game, and tomorrow's wife and aunt are going to invite back, and the day after tomorrow, the seven aunts and eight aunts in the world friend family are going to celebrate their birthdays again, and these bits and pieces are only what you can't think of.

It turned out that Feng Ziying hadn't calculated, but now that she thinks about it, it's not easy to live in the capital, I'm afraid it has started since ancient times.

Holding the scroll in her hand, Feng Ziying was thinking a lot.

He doesn't know the family's financial situation very well, but it should be quite passable, otherwise his father would not have the spare energy to plan for recovery.

It's not a simple thing to get back and forth in this year, especially a martial artist like Father Feng, there are so many positions, everyone is staring at them, and everyone has a background, so you have to talk about both relationships and connections, and you have to ask for silver.

When leaving the capital to go to Linqing, Feng Ziying vaguely heard her father and mother say that it was estimated that it would cost 10,000 or 20,000 silver to make a point, and she didn't have this awareness at that time, but now that she calculates it, this is really a large amount of money.

The annual expenses of a medium-sized family are only twenty taels, and if you want to do such a thing as a revival, you have to spend so much, how big is the internal corruption problem of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Just a Shenwu general with a false title, he consumes a lot of money every year just for entertainment, and without all kinds of ice charcoal filial piety and other hidden income, it is really difficult for the Feng family to support it anymore.

This is a very real problem, and this should be the reason why my father wants to recover as soon as possible.

Only in it did Feng Ziying deeply feel that it was not so simple to survive in this world, even if she was still in a well-established family.

The snake has a big hole, all kinds of expenses are indispensable, and you have to hold up the scene, otherwise you will be spied through by someone, and you will have to fall faster.

Feng's family meals are used for their own purposes.

Even Feng Ziying basically doesn't eat with her parents, while Feng's father, Feng's mother, and aunts also eat in their own courtyards, and only their wives will eat with their wives.

Eating is not as luxurious as you think, but it's not simple either.

In the three or four dishes, there are rich contents, small pickled melon, pickled goose breast, steamed fish, stewed pigeon, and the white rippled pigeon fat in the casserole is like milk soup, which makes Feng Ziying have a great appetite.

In the past ten days in Linqing, I have hardly eaten well, Aunt Fu can do it, but where is it as smooth as at home?

These are all things that he usually likes, even if it is this soul that has crossed over, he suddenly likes this extravagant life, and because of this, Feng Ziying feels that he should work hard.

Waiting for Feng Ziying's meal is naturally Yunsheng, and boys like Ruixiang eat in the lower courtyard, which is also the rule of big families.

Although the Feng family cannot be compared with the wealthy families such as Jia Shiwang Xue Siwang and Eight Princes, it has also been cultivated for several generations, and some rules have been developed to some extent.

Feng Ziying really wanted Yun Sheng to eat with him at that time, but he also knew that Yun Sheng would never accept it, and he would be regarded as an alternative, so he simply let go of these unrealistic ideas and enjoyed it himself.

After eating, I sent a bowl of soup to eliminate food, and after drinking it, I put it down, Yunshang handed over a hot towel to wipe his mouth, and then packed up his things and sent them out.

This is the life of a real big family.

Feng Ziying felt that she would come through like this, I was afraid that today was the most comfortable day for herself, every day was such a enjoyment, clothes came to reach out for food to open her mouth, I was afraid that I would not change it even if I was an emperor, but this kind of life also needs to struggle.

Not only must we struggle, but we must also come up with our own wisdom and experience, and we must go all out from now on, not only by myself, but also by the resources of the entire Feng family, all of whom need to be effectively mobilized by ourselves to fight around the fate of the Feng family, of course, I will bear the brunt of it.

Sitting back in the study, there is a fine bamboo ribbed paper on the table.

This kind of bamboo ribbed paper is slightly thicker than green sandalwood ribbed paper, but it is more tough, and the water absorption is not as good as green sandalwood ribbed paper, but it is also valuable.

Speaking of wolf hair, Feng Ziying moved her wrist, she hadn't written calligraphy for a long time.

This body actually has a slight foundation, but compared to himself in his previous life, it is definitely much inferior, and this hand is also much smaller.

Yunshang was already waiting aside, grinding ink for Feng Ziying, and when the ink in the inkstone was suitable, Feng Ziying picked up the pen.

What to write? Write down your next steps and plans, of course.

In the past ten days, Feng Ziying has always wanted to take care of her future.

The soul of his twelve-year-old body is a modern soul in his forties, so if he has no choice but to survive in this world, or even to survive better, he must integrate and use the wisdom and experience of his previous life to seek the best opportunity and state.
