Chapter 65: It is not easy to live in Beijing

  Chapter 65 A Scroll

In the past, Feng Ziying didn't feel much when he arrived, because Wanlu was the second housekeeper in the mansion. Except for Feng Shou, who was his father's old nanny and is now the head housekeeper, Feng Shou usually only cares about his father's affairs, and usually follows his father in Datong. Over there, Wan Lu is basically in charge of the daily affairs of the mansion here.

  This is indeed a troublesome thing when the family grows up.

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

  But Feng Ziying’s grandfather passed away ten years ago, and her grandmother passed away even earlier, so her population is small. Among the several aunts, only Aunt Su gave birth to a daughter who was only five years old, and Feng Ziying was the only direct son.

  Even so, there are hundreds of people in the whole house.

  In addition to several masters and sons, Feng's father had four or five entourages, and Feng You was one of them.

   There are also maids and servants brought by Mother Feng and several aunts from their natal homes, and there are about ten people here and there.

  Then there are the daily servants in the mansion, such as those who raise horses and drive horses, those who build carts, gardeners, stonemasons, and plasterers, washrooms, those in charge of daily cleaning, those in charge of the kitchen, and night guards, etc.

Don't underestimate it, after counting all the masters and aunts in the whole house, that's six, but almost everyone has to share a dozen or so people to wait on them, and the monthly expenses are as high as two dollars a month. Three hundred taels.

   This is not counting the daily expenses of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

  In addition to the daily routine expenses, the usual entertainment and social expenses are not small. From time to time, you have to go to the theater, go to the spring, enter the temple, worship the Buddha and worship the Tao. Do you have to give a reward?

Today, this aunt is going to play a game, and tomorrow the wife and aunt of that house will return the invitation. In the next day, the seven aunts and eight aunts of the old family will celebrate their birthdays again. , only you can't think of.

   Originally, Feng Ziying hadn’t calculated it, but now that I think about it, the difficulty of living in the capital probably started in ancient times.

  Holding a scroll in her hand, Feng Ziying thought a lot.

  He is not very clear about the financial situation of the family, but it should be passable, otherwise his father would not have the spare energy to plan recovery.

Rehabilitation is not an easy task these days, especially for a martial artist like Feng's father, who has so many positions, everyone is staring at them, and everyone has a background, so it is necessary to talk about connections, connections, and silver.

  When Feng Ziying left the capital for Linqing, Feng Ziying vaguely heard from her father and mother that it would cost 10,000 to 20,000 silver to arrange it.

  A middle-level family’s annual expenditure is only twenty taels. It would cost so much to recover such a thing. How big is the internal corruption problem of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

  Just being a supernatural general with a false title, he consumes a lot of entertainment and management every year, without all kinds of ice and charcoal contributions and other hidden income, it is really difficult for the Feng family to sustain it.

  This is a very real problem, and it should be the reason why my father is so obsessed with getting up as soon as possible.

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

  Snakes are big and holes are big, all kinds of expenses are indispensable, and you have to support the scene, otherwise, once someone sees through the reality, you may fall even faster.

  Feng’s family uses different meals.

  Even Feng Ziying seldom eats with her parents, and Feng’s father, Feng’s mother, and aunts also eat in their own courtyards, and they eat with their wives only when they are recruited.

   Meals are not as luxurious as expected, but they are not simple either.

  In three or four dishes, there are rich contents, such as small pickled melon, pickled goose breast, steamed fish, stewed squab, and the white pigeon fat in the casserole that came out was like milk soup, which made Feng Ziying appetite.

  In the past ten days in Linqing, I have hardly eaten well. Aunt Fu can cook, but how can it compare to the smoothness at home?

   These are all things I have always liked. Even this soul who has time-traveled has fallen in love with this extravagant life all of a sudden. Just for this, Feng Ziying feels that she should work hard.

   It was naturally Yunshang who served Feng Ziying to eat, and boys like Ruixiang ate in the lower courtyard, which was also the rule of big families.

   Although the Feng family can't compare with the wealthy families such as King Jiashi, Xue Siwang and Bagong, they have been cultivated for several generations, and some rules have been developed to some extent.

Feng Ziying really wants Yunshang to eat with him, but he also knows that Yunshang will never accept it, and he will be regarded as a different kind, so he simply puts down these unrealistic ideas and enjoys it by himself up.

After eating, a bowl of Xiaoshi soup was brought, and he put it down after drinking it. Yun Chang handed over a hot towel to wipe his mouth, then packed up the things and sent them out. Naturally, someone picked them up outside, with almost no hindrance. It's like flowing clouds and flowing water, which is obviously a long-term habit.

  This is the life of a real big family.

  Feng Ziying feels that after traveling for so long, today is probably the most comfortable day for her. Every day is such an enjoyment. She stretches out her hands for food and opens her mouth. I am afraid that she will not change even if she is an emperor, but this kind of life also requires struggle.

Not only must you struggle, but you must also show your own wisdom and experience. From now on, you must go all out. Not only yourself, but the resources of the entire Feng family need to be effectively mobilized by yourself to revolve around the fate of the Feng family. Come and fight, and of course you will bear the brunt.

  Sit back to the study room, and there is high-quality bamboo ribbed paper on the table.

  This kind of bamboo ribbed paper is slightly thicker than green sandalwood ribbed paper, but it is more resilient. It is not as absorbent as green sandalwood ribbed paper, but it is still valuable.

  Bringing Langhao, Feng Ziying stretched her wrist. It has been a long time since she wrote with a brush.

  This body actually has a little foundation, but it is definitely not as good as the previous self, and this hand also looks much smaller,

  Yun Shang had already been waiting at the side, grinding ink for Feng Ziying, and Feng Ziying only picked up the pen when the ink in the inkstone was suitable.

Write what? Of course, it is to write down the plans and plans for the next step.

  In the past ten days of soul wear, Feng Ziying has always wanted to take a good look at her future.

My soul in this twelve-year-old body is a modern soul in her forties, so if she has no choice but to survive in this world, and even wants to survive better, then she has to integrate and use the wisdom and experience of her previous life to seek the best. opportunities and status.

   Keep asking for votes!
