Chapter 396: Success
"Men's four-season clothes are forty taels per year, women's four-season clothes are twenty taels per year, and those who are not married are halved. Men and women have monthly money, under the age of 15, and the monthly amount of silver is two taels; Over fifteen years old, three taels; After getting married or on an errand, it can be raised to five taels.
Each of the women shall be given three hundred taels of silver, and each of the girls shall be given two hundred taels of silver when they go out. The child will change the cup and give ten taels of cigarettes; Send pro-pig wine, and give ten taels of cigarette money; As for questioning, giving clothes, and loading cigarette money, the children's parents go out on their own, and the public doesn't care. Children will kiss, if they want pig wine, they still send pig wine; If you fold the silver money, give a total of fifty taels of silver......" Cao Hao couldn't help but laugh when he read this.
What else will there be in the future, the married woman will return to her parents' home, the married daughter will have a child, and what kind of wife will die, how to remarry.
"What is this? New House Rules? Cao Hao looked at the pamphlet and asked Chu Yu.
Chu Yu shook his head: "It's not new, it's mostly old precedents in the house." It's just that the grade of my grandfather and father is not high, the population of the house is not large, and the amount of a lot of silver money is a little out of place now, so Chu Yu discussed with Sister Amethyst and added some more. For example, the annual four-season clothes, the old practice in the house was 15 taels per year for men and 8 taels per year for women. My father-in-law and mother-in-law have been in the south all these years, and the rules here were set decades ago. At that time, the price of goods was different from now, fifteen taels a year, not to mention the four seasons clothes, even the winter sweater clothes were not enough. ”
Cao Hao nodded, looked at the one that only used three hundred taels for marrying a woman, and said, "Is this one set less?" How can three hundred taels of silver be enough to marry a daughter-in-law? ”
Chu Yu said: "E, this silver is just a dowry, and the other relatives and wedding wine are all made in separate cases, and if they are counted together, they will also cost a thousand taels of silver." Not counting the parents in each room, even the ones given by the public middle school, you can also do family affairs decently! ”
Cao Hao thought about it, now this rice is only five or six dollars of silver per stone, and ordinary people have two taels of silver a month, which is enough to moisturize. They spent a thousand taels of silver to do family affairs, and they could handle it no matter how they said it.
"How can you think of getting this?" Cao Hao saw Chu Yu rubbing his wrist and asked curiously.
Chu Yu said with a smile: "There are no rules, there is no square circle, these are all careless on my part, or they should have been decided after consulting with the forehead a long time ago." In the future, the younger brothers and sisters will marry each other, and those who will marry will marry, even God bless them, they will gradually grow up, and everything must have a charter! ”
Cao Hao looked at the back of the booklet, what else is the chicken money given by the woman to give birth to a child, the new mat money for the new daughter-in-law to enter the door, and the New Year's greeting money for the new son-in-law to come to the door in the first year, all of which are places to spend money.
Cao Hao looked at those numbers and was dizzy for a while, and said to Chu Yu: "This charter has been decided, how much money is needed in a year, do you know in your heart?" ”
Chu Yu thought that it had been calculated before he came, and when he heard Cao Hao ask, he thought for a while and said: "It's not a personal relationship, and it costs five or six thousand taels a year." ”
Living in the capital, human relations are the main thing. However, fortunately, Cao Hao and Chu Yu are still two people with some status, and this relationship has come and gone, but it is just a reversal. Only this one who is filial to the palace is regarded as a meat bun beating a dog, and there is no return. Even if you give some fresh fruit tribute during the New Year's holidays, it can't be exchanged for money.
Cao Hao patted his head, he really couldn't make ends meet, it seemed that it would be impossible to leave the office industry behind.
Zhuangzi still has to buy it, but the field property is too eye-catching, I just bought it last year, and now Zhaojia's is tossing and buying it, and Cao Hao's side is not moving. Otherwise, let the people who don't know know, and the Cao family suddenly broke out.
Let people inquire, wait for the next year when the land price will be low...... Thinking of the word "land price", Cao Hao thought of the land in Xiaotangshan in Changping. Last year, there were several groups of people who wanted to buy land, but they were honestly unwilling to sell it, and it was also possible to exchange the land with the Zhuangzi of the best fertile land.
Thinking of this, he said to Chu Yu: "By the way, there are dozens of hectares of hillside land over there in Changping, and there are springs in the middle. If the ten hectares and eight hectares are divided into several pieces, leaving a good position for our own use, and if the rest is too dazzling to sell silver, you can pick two pieces out and exchange them for two good Zhuangzi. ”
Chu Yu was a little surprised and asked, "Didn't you say that you would have to wait another two years to make a move?" said that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has decided to build a palace, and the land price can rise again! ”
Cao Hao said: "I originally planned to do so, but I didn't expect the land price over there to turn so much in the past two years." If we keep such a good land in our hands, I'm afraid that we will be red-eyed and can't help but calculate us. If you don't shoot two pieces, the remaining few places will not be so eye-catching. Wait until you need the money later, and then you can make a move. ”
Chu Yu smiled: "Since the forehead has made up his mind, it is naturally good!" ”
Cao Hao hesitated for a moment and asked, "The Zhuangzi that I changed back, I want to return to Gongzhong, do you say it's okay?" Even if you don't look at the love of Cao Song and their brothers, it is also on the face of your father. My father was the most affectionate to my second uncle, and I was also worried about these nephews and nieces, and half of the letters to my family were written as orders, for fear that my brother would be careless and would not see them. In the early years, because of the shortfall, he sold his ancestral property, although the second uncle also allowed it at the beginning, but his father felt a lot of guilt over the years. ”
These things are Cao Hao's own decisions, and Chu Yu will not say anything. Born in the palace since childhood, he is used to living a life of fine clothes and food, and after marrying here, Cao Hao is not stingy with money, and the young couple has never lacked money. Therefore, she did not keep her husband's money in the palm of her hand, as other women do.
However, Cao Hao Ken told her that Ken asked her opinion, which made Chu Yu very happy.
She smiled and nodded, and said, "The meaning of the forehead, Chu Yu can save it, and live at home, so naturally it is good to calm everyone's hearts." We have it, we have it, even if we take out the money, it is only for a while, and there is no reason for a lifetime. Making up for some public middle school properties is also the heart of An's father-in-law, and the heart of the second wife. It's just that Chu Yu is busy with family rules, and she just wants to make the second wife feel at ease, so that she doesn't have to think too much about it all day, but it's not good. It's just that Chu Yu meant, this charter is set first, and it will be said when the second uncle is filial piety and the second brother is married. ”
Speaking of this, she showed a naughty look and said, "The second wife has recently said that the housekeeper is addicted, and she will have to spend some time until she knows the difficulties, and then discuss this matter with her." Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to go well! ”
* South of the city, pine alley, Cheng house.
Cheng Mengxing returned to his hometown to serve his mother, and now living here is Cheng Mengxing's niece Han Jiang. Because of listening to Cao Hao's words, Han Jiang was interested and specially asked people to find a few women from the buying and selling families to come over and ask some gossip in the business field.
The more she listened, the more ugly her face became, thinking of the two little grandfathers she met in Jiangning City in her early years.
Cao Hao's words made it clear, even if it was the Cao family, even if it was the Earl's Palace, it would not be anything in the capital. The water depth of this capital is dozens of royal palaces. If you don't rely on it, you want to run a money business, and you don't want to be a fool.
After sending those women away, Han Jiang sat down in a daze, did she really want to run a dim sum shop, this was really not what she wanted.
Silver Building, Garment Shop, Silk Village? Han Jiang thought about the business he knew, but he never meant anything.
She was puzzled here, and the maid Xiaoxi came up with a snack and said, "Girl, this elm money cake can be made, hurry up and try it!" As he spoke, he put the dim sum plate on the kang table, went to throw the handkerchief, and waited for Han Jiang's to wipe his hands.
Han Jiang's family is a widow and a son-in-law who recruits a door-to-door son, so the people around him are all subordinates from the Jiang family, so the maids are still called "girls".
Han Jiang let Xiaoxi wait and wiped his hands, looked at the cake, and did not immediately stretch out his hand, but asked: "Xiaoxi, do you say that the dim sum in the capital is delicious, or is the dim sum in our south delicious?" ”
Xiaoxi said with a smile: "Naturally, the dim sum in our south is delicious, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and melts in the mouth. It's okay for adults to eat, but if you are old and eat dim sum with children, you have to pick it up, otherwise it will be difficult to restrain it. Speaking of this, he said with a little melancholy: "Don't talk about dim sum, even our salted duck in Jiangning is also good, but when I arrived in Beijing, I never ate it again." ”
Han Jiang grew up in the south of the Yangtze River, and he was not used to eating in Beijing, so he went north after the year and deliberately brought the old chef of his family to Beijing together.
Hearing Xiaoxi mention the saltwater duck, Han Jiang's heart moved and asked, "What else do you want to eat?" ”
Xiaoxi wrenched his fingers and said, "Smoked fish, smoked shrimp, bad chicken, sesame hot sauce, shrimp soy sauce...... Oh, it's so bad that the gluttonous worms in the slave's belly are going to scream! ”
Han Jiangshi looked at the plate of dim sum on the kang table, with a little smile on his face, and instructed Xiaoxi: "Take pen and ink, I want to write a post!" ”
Xiaoxi answered, Han Jiang took a piece of dim sum and took a bite gently, his mouth full of the fragrance of elm money.
What is she trying to do in this life? Since you have decided to leave Jiangning and no longer have anything to do with the Han family and the Jiang family, then you can live a good life in the capital. She is not short of silver, and it is not good to wronged her stomach.
Although it is not easy to leave her hometown, and she can't change the water and soil customs of the capital to the south to adapt, but it is good to do her best to make Yuezi's life more interesting.
It's because I think about it and think that this dim sum business is small. Nowadays, the Jiangnan people who can gain a foothold in the capital are either rich or expensive, and if they have food that suits their appetite, then the money is no longer a problem.
Although this trade is not visible and does not show water, if it is well managed, there is a lot of money.
Thinking of this, Han Jiang couldn't help but regret a little, he shouldn't have shown disdain in the Cao family that day. Speaking of which, this business can be run by the Cao family themselves, and there is no need to partner with her at all. In this way, it is just to take care of her uncle in the face.
Han Jiang's family knows it in his heart, but he is not a person who can pull down his face to make amends. After thinking about it, she came up with a safe idea, that is, she decided to take a step back in the cooperation between the two companies.
It's just that she can come up with this money, but this shop real estate is planned by Caofu.
If you want to play the signboard of the Cao family, it must always be worthy of the name, so as to save the trouble of looking for trouble, and you have to go to the Cao Mansion to beg Caofu. Only when the profits are large will the Cao family value this livelihood.
* Not everyone is worried about livelihood and trading, but Cao Song is happy here. Since the Fuguo Gong Lai Shi was dismissed and imprisoned, the family affairs with Dong E's family were naturally over.
Now, it is already March, and in another five months, Cao Song's filial piety period will be over.
Although Zhao Jia's family is busy managing family affairs, he still treats the eldest son's family affairs as the main head. However, it really responds to the saying, "ask but can't get it", and the more you look forward to it, the more you can't hope for it.
Although Zhao Jia's family went to the Shilang Mansion twice, and also asked someone to invite her brother Murtai to speak in this mansion, her sister-in-law still did not let go.
I don't know how this was spread, but the matter of Zhao Jia's staff scolding people also reached her sister-in-law's ears. Her sister-in-law had already learned the temper of her sister-in-law, and she was afraid that her daughter-in-law would be wronged, and after hearing this, she became more and more unhappy.
Although this "aunt is a mother-in-law" and "aunt is a mother-in-law" have a good place, they must also be divided into people and surnames. With Zhao Jia's like this, her sister-in-law really can't rest assured.
Her sister-in-law's pillow was blown by the wind, and even Murtai was not as attentive as he was a year ago. According to his meaning, he wanted to see his nephew's future.
Zhao Jiashi was so angry, but she couldn't do anything, so she could only scold her sister-in-law a few times in her heart.
Although Cao Song wanted to take the martial arts test, Zhao Jia's was not happy. She thought about asking Cao Hao to help her brother run a good relationship and see if she could make up for the lack of a guard.
It's just that you can't make up for the third-class guards, it's okay to make up for a Lanling guard, or is it a six-grade official body, no more decent than going to the martial arts test and being a petty official in other places?
It's just that because of the events before and after the year, Cao Hao and their little family are now far away from her. She was also a little weak in her heart, and she couldn't pull her face to talk about it, so she thought about waiting for Cao Quan's filial piety period to pass before mentioning it......
