Chapter 1844

These years, Yuxi didn't say anything about Qixuan's concubine, but Qixuan felt guilty. Every time I go to see Yunqing and Yuxi, I feel uneasy.

Qixuan said, "I'll send someone to check it."

Dai Yanxin said: "this min can't stay in the palace. Let's send her to the imperial villa first! Wait until you find out that she is a serious woman, and then take her back to the house. "

"Good."

After talking about min, Dai Yanxin let Hawthorn take the account book. Put the account book in front of Qixuan, Dai Yanxin said: "Lord, the house has been unable to make ends meet now."

Qixuan has never been worried about money these years. When he heard this, he was surprised and asked: "is not the business between pawnshop and calligraphy and painting always very good? And the promise of Huangzhuang and the dividend given by Qiyou are also considerable. How can the government not make ends meet? "

Dai Yanxin said: "Mr. Wang, the government now spends 12000 Liang a month. In addition to your annual expenses, the income of several shops and the imperial villa is not enough, and you can barely maintain it by relying on the dividends given by you Wang. " Qiyou pays more than 20000 dividends to every family every year.

Qi Xuan was startled and asked: "how can the expenditure in the government be so big?"

Dai Yanxin said: "the annual Rouge powder in the house is more than 10000 Liang, and the clothes and jewelry are also more than 20000 Liang."

"What did you buy? How could it cost so much? "

Dai Yanxin made an account for Qixuan: "Mrs. Yu and the eldest girl have a total of 26 people. On average, each of them has more than 2000 taels of jewelry and gouache every year. That's not a lot. " Dai Yanxin didn't treat them harshly in terms of food and clothing, but these are fixed. Like eight sets of clothes and one set of jewelry in a season, if you want new clothes and buy new jewelry, you have to pay for your own house. Rao is so, can't stand a large number of people, the house aunt and the common girl add up to 26.

Because of this, Dai Yanxin opened a silk shop and a rouge shop in her third year of marriage. If you buy things from two shops every year, you can pay for all the expenses of the shop. The rest, it's all earned.

After a pause, Dai Yanxin said: "the monthly expenses of aunts, girls and brothers in the house are more than 1800 Liang, and the monthly expenses of guards and servants in the house are more than 2000 Liang..." these are rigid expenses, as well as expenses for food and illness. Twelve thousand taels a month is the result of her careful calculation. If not, it will cost more.

The more Qixuan listened, the uglier his face was: "so there is no silver balance in the house?" These years, he either went out to play or wrote books. He didn't care about the property in the palace at all. He didn't know that the financial situation in the palace was so bad.

Dai Yanxin shook his head and said that he didn't save any money: "Mr. Wang, brother Zhuo is sixteen years old. He is old enough to talk about marriage. Lord, I've been so worried about this that I can't eat and sleep. " This words, completely is to deceive to open Xuan. The palace has no money, but Dai Yanxin's private house is very rich.

Dai Yanxin married only two shops, and the location is not very good. Later, under her management, there are now ten shops, five of which do their own business. The five shops are doing very well, with an annual interest rate of 40000 to 50000 yuan. Plus the rental shops and real estate, there are seventy-eight thousand taels of income every year. Over the years, it has accumulated a considerable amount. However, Dai Yanxin does not want to take money out for his son's wedding. After so many years of marriage, she is too clear about Qixuan's temperament.

In the eyes of Qixuan, all the concubines are his children, and he treats them equally. Also jade Xi is pressing on top, he dare not surmount, otherwise Xuan Wang Fu affirmation disorderly set up.

But Kai Xuan both feel that the legitimate out of the common are his children, naturally feel that Dai Yanxin should also be so. Once Dai Yanxin gives his private money to his elder brother's son for a wedding, she will be able to make up for his children's marriage. Therefore, even if he subsidizes his brother, Dai Yanxin will only subsidize him secretly. On the surface, he must use the money from the public to get married.

Xuan elder brother son thought next, say: "start from tomorrow, reduce the expenditure in the mansion."

"If we want to reduce it, we can only reduce our relationship with our aunts. The number of guards and servants in the house can't be reduced. " The month rules of guards and servants in xuanwangfu are the same as those in other Wangfu. If you want to reduce it, you will lose face.

Qixuan nodded and said, "after that, my annual expenditure will be controlled within 5000 Liang. My brother, their expenses will be halved. " In this way, how can we save twenty or thirty thousand taels of silver a year.

Thinking of this, Qixuan asked, "how much does it cost to get married?"

Hearing that he wanted forty or fifty thousand taels of silver, Qixuan frowned and said, "when I married Qiyou with my second brother, it cost forty or fifty thousand taels of silver."

Dai Yanxin said: "it took forty thousand taels of silver to get married. When we get married, we can't even compete with the British aristocracy, can we? " The British Prince here refers to tiger brother.

Qixuan said: "what's good to compare with? Moreover, we have nine sons. If we want forty or fifty thousand taels of silver for each marriage, we can't get three or four hundred thousand taels of silver. Where can I get so much silver? "

Dai Yanxin looks at Qixuan.

Qixuan was seen in his heart: "what's the matter? Am I wrong? "

Dai Yanxin said: "brother Zhuo is a son of the world, so it costs forty or fifty thousand to get married. In the future, it will be enough for the three of them to marry about 20000. " The eldest son is the heir, and it's normal for him to have a higher wedding standard than his brother.

Hearing this, Qixuan immediately asked, "what about Tai'er and them? How much are they getting married? "

Dai Yanxin said, "it's up to you. However, the cost of their marriage must not exceed that of the three brothers. " The standard of marriage of a common son must not exceed that of a legitimate son.

Qixuan wants to object, but Yuxi's face flashed in his mind, and all his words are swallowed back: "that's it, you decide!"

Dai Yanxin said: "master, it's hard to make a meal without rice. I don't know where the money came from. So that now I dare not go to see him. "

This words, completely is to deceive to open Xuan. As a matter of fact, she has long been the eldest granddaughter of the Minister of rites. The girl is of good character, outstanding in appearance and talent, and she has the same ingenuity. Secretly let brother see one side, got the son nodded, Dai Yanxin to the wind to the writer. Now, the two have reached a private agreement. Just wait for the big girl of Wen family to come and ask for marriage in October and after hairpin.

Qixuan said, "I'll solve the money problem."

Dai Yanxin can't know how much Qixuan weighs. Most likely, he's going to borrow money from you Wang. However, as long as Qixuan can get money. She doesn't care about the rest.

Qixuan really went to find brother you. However, he is here to ask Qiyou for a way to make money.

Qiyou was very surprised and asked, "third brother, are you short of money?"

Qixuan gave a sound and said, "brother Zuo and brother Bu are about to get married. If there is no money in the house, how can we get married then? "

Qi you asked incredulously, "impossible. Xuanwangfu's industry has an annual income of 700000 yuan, plus the dividends I give, how can there be no money on the account of 100000 taels of silver a year? " What kind of property does xuanwangfu have? Qiyou knows all about it.

Qixuan said the expenditure in the mansion with a bitter smile.

After hearing this, Qiyou said, "there are only three masters in our house, I, Siling and xuge'er. They spend more than 3000 Liang a month. There are more than 30 masters in your house, but the expenditure is only four times that of ours. This is also the third sister-in-law's way of managing the family. If not, 30000 is not enough. "

Qixuan said in a voice: "your sister-in-law really has a way of managing the family." The wife should have taken care of the household affairs.

Hearing this, Qiyou frowned: "third brother, you haven't been in charge of everything in xuanwang's house these years. It's all the third sister-in-law's cooking. Third sister-in-law is so hard, you should be kind to her. "

Qixuan said, "I've always been very good to her."

When Qi you heard this, he was silent. Half of the year is not at home, and every time I go out, I always bring a beauty back, which is also good for my wife.

"Ah you, do you have any good way to get money quickly?" Pawnshops and calligraphy and painting shops made a lot of money before. Qixuan believes that as long as Qiyou gives him a good idea, he will make money.

It's a pity that Qixuan didn't succeed this time. Qiyou shook his head and said, "third brother, my energy is now on the job. Where else can I focus on business?"

Qixuan is disappointed, but he also knows that Qiyou is very busy after taking over the Ministry of punishment.

After thinking about it, Qixuan said, "ah you, please lend me 30000 taels of silver first. When the dividend is paid at the end of the year, it will be deducted from it. "

There are only jewelry shops and rouge powder shops under the name of youwangfu, but these two shops are making money every day. Every year, these two shops also receive more than 100000 yuan of interest without dividends. In addition, there are also property shops and houses. You Ge'er is the richest one among her brothers and sisters. Of course, Kai Hao is not one of them.

If as usual, Kai you certainly eyebrows do not shake to agree. But this time, he did not promise: "third brother, I have money, but I will not lend it to you." Even if he said he had no money, Qixuan would not believe it.

"Why"

Qiyou said, "mother said that if you want to borrow money from me, you are not allowed to lend it to me."

Qi Xuan stares big eyes: "when did it happen?"

"Last year. My mother must have known that your income is not enough to make ends meet, so we are not allowed to borrow money. " In fact, Yuxi didn't say this at all, but just Qixuan's attitude to Dai Yanxin angered Qiyou.

Over the years, Qixuan has been at ease, and has never been in charge of family affairs. That's all. He went out and brought back a beauty. Dai Yanxin never complained about him in front of Yuxi, but also filial to Yuxi and Yunqing for him. For this, Qiyou treats her as her own. Can open Xuan but half cent gratitude all have no, this also too have no conscience.

Xuan elder brother son all doubts whether jade Xi is really his own mother. Normally, when parents know that their son doesn't have money to marry their grandson, they will make up for it. Now, even if it's not subsidized, I don't allow my brother to give it to him. There's no mother who's going to pit his son or his grandson like this.
