Chapter 1839

In these years, Yuxi didn't say anything about Qixuan's concubinage, but Qixuan had some feelings. 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 family can't stay in the palace. Please send her to the imperial villa first! When we find out that she is a serious woman, we will take her back to the mansion. "

"Good."

After talking about min's business, Dai Yanxin asked Hawthorn to take the account book. Put the account book in front of Qixuan, Dai Yanxin said: "Lord, the house is now beyond its means."

Qixuan has never been worried about money in these years. He was surprised to hear this, and asked: "the pawnshop and calligraphy and painting business are not always very good? There are also a lot of dividends paid by the imperial villa and Qiyou. How can the government not make ends meet? "

Dai Yanxin said: "Lord, now the house spends 12000 Liang a month. In addition to your annual expenses, the income of several shops and Huangzhuang is not enough at all, which is barely maintained by the dividend given by Youwang. " Every year, Qiyou gives more than 20000 dividends to each family.

Qixuan was startled and asked, "why is the expenditure so large?"

"There are more than 10000 pieces of rouge and water powder in the mansion every year, and more than 20000 pieces of clothes and jewelry," said Dai

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

Dai Yanxin calculated an account for Qixuan: "there are twenty-six of them, Mrs. Yu and the big girl. On average, each of them has more than two thousand liang of jewelry and water powder every year. That's not a lot. " Dai Yanxin did not treat them harshly in terms of food and clothing, but there are certain numbers of them. Like eight sets of clothes a season and one set of jewelry, if you want to buy new clothes and jewelry, you have to dig out your own private house. Rao is so. There are not many people to fight against. There are twenty-six aunts and common girls in the mansion.

Because of this, Dai Yanxin opened a silk shop and rouge shop in his third year of marriage. For the things that xuanwangfu buys from two shops every year, it can pay all the expenses of the shop. Others, that's all earned.

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

The more Qixuan listened, the more ugly his face was: "so there is no money left in the house?" These years, he either went out to play or buried himself in writing books. He didn't manage the property in the government 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 a cent of silver: "Wang Ye, brother Zhuo is sixteen years old, and it's time to talk about marriage. Lord, I've been so worried about this that I can't eat and sleep. " This is just a lie to Qixuan. Wang Fu has no money, but Dai Yanxin's private house is very rich.

When Dai Yanxin married, there were only two shops, and the location was not very good. Later, under her management, now there are ten shops, five of which do their own business. These five stores have a very good business, with an annual income of 450000 yuan. In addition to the leased shops and real estate, there are seventy-eight thousand Liang in the account every year. Over the years, it has accumulated a considerable amount. However, Dai did not want to give money to his son for the wedding. After so many years of husband and wife, she is too clear about Chu Qixuan's temperament.

In Qixuan's mind, all his children are his children, and he treats them equally. Yuxi is also pressing on it. He dare not go over it. Otherwise, xuanwangfu must be in a mess.

However, Qixuan felt that his children were all his children, so was Dai Yanxin. Once Dai Yanxin gives his private house money to his brother-in-law for a wedding, she will be able to supplement his children's marriage later. So even if he mends brother Zhuo, Dai Yanxin will only mend secretly. Obviously, brother Zhuo's marriage must use the money of the public.

Xuange'er thought about it and said, "starting tomorrow, we will reduce the expenditure in the government."

"If we want to reduce it, we can only reduce it for us and our aunts. The monthly regulations of guards and servants in the mansion cannot be reduced. " The moon regulations of guards and servants in xuanwangfu are the same as those of other Wangfu. To shrink, there is no face.

Qixuan nodded and said, "after that, my annual expenditure will be controlled within five thousand Liang. "All their expenses will be halved." In this way, we can save 23000 liang of silver a year.

Thinking of this, Qixuan asked, "how much will it cost for brother Zhuo to get married?"

When he heard that he wanted forty-five thousand liang of silver, Qixuan frowned and said, "when I married Qiyou with my second brother, I spent forty-five thousand liang of silver."

Dai Yanxin said: "it took 40, 000 liang of silver to get married. Our brother-in-law can't even compare with the British son when he gets married? "The British son here refers to tiger.

Qixuan said, "what is there to compare with? Moreover, we have nine sons. If we want forty-five thousand taels of silver for each marriage, it will not be three or four hundred thousand taels. Where can I get so much money? "

Dai Yanxin looks at Qixuan.

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

Dai Yanxin said: "brother Zhuo is a son of the world, so he only spent forty or fifty thousand to get married. After that, it will be enough for the three of them to get married at around 20000. " The eldest son is the heir, and the standard of his wedding is higher than that of his brother.

When Qixuan heard this, he immediately asked, "what about Tai'er and them? How many are they married? "

Dai Yanxin said, "look at you. However, the cost of their marriage must not exceed that of the third brother The standard of marriage of commoners must not exceed that of their own sons.

Qixuan wanted to object, but Yuxi's face flashed in his mind, and all his words were swallowed back: "then, you decide!"

But Dai Yanxin said, "Lord, it's hard for a skillful woman to cook without rice. I don't know where I got the money for my brother's marriage. So now I dare not go to see others for him. "

This is just a lie to Qixuan. In fact, she had already met, the eldest granddaughter of the Minister of rites. The girl has a good character, outstanding appearance and talent, and the same mental skill. Secretly let the elder brother see one side, got the son to nod, Dai Yanxin penetrated the wind to the writer. Now, the two families have reached a private agreement. Just wait for the Wenchi girl to finish her hairpin in October, and then come to propose marriage.

Qixuan said, "I'll deal with the money."

Dai Yanxin still doesn't know how much Jin Qi Xuan is. Nine times out of ten, he went to find you wang to borrow money. However, as long as Qixuan can get money. The rest, she won't care.

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

Qi you is very surprised to ask: "three elder brothers, are you short of money?"

Kai Xuan said, "I'm going to marry you when I see you. There is no money in the mansion. How can I get married then? "

Qiyou asked incredulously, "no way. How can the industry of xuanwangfu have an annual income of 700000 yuan? Plus the dividend I give, how can there be no money in the income account of 100000 Liang silver in a year? " What industry does xuanwang mansion have? Qiyou is clear in his mind.

Qixuan said the expenditure in the mansion roughly with a wry smile.

After hearing this, Qiyou said, "I'm the only three masters in our house. They are Siling and brother Xu. They spend more than 3000 Liang a month. There are more than 30 masters in your mansion, but the expenditure is only four times that of us. This is also a good way for sister-in-law to manage her family. If not, 30000 won't be enough. "

Qixuan said, "your sister-in-law really has a good family." This wife should have taken care of the household affairs.

Qiyou frowned when he heard this: "elder brother, you haven't been in charge of all the things in xuanwang's mansion these years. It's three sisters in law who are taking care of them. Three sister-in-law so hard, you are better to her

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

When Qiyou heard this, he was speechless. It's good for my wife to be away for half of the year and bring back a beautiful woman every time I go out.

"A you, do you have any good way to get money quickly?" Before pawnshops and calligraphy and painting shops are very profitable. Qixuan believes that as long as Qiyou gives him a good idea, he will make money.

Unfortunately, this time, Qixuan failed. Qiyou shook his head and said, "three elder brothers, I am now focused on my work. Where is the energy to focus on business?"

Qixuan was disappointed, but he also knew that Qiyou was very busy after taking over the punishment department.

After thinking about it, Qixuan said, "ah you, lend me 30000 liang of silver first. At the end of the year, the dividend will be deducted from it. "

Under the name of the Lord you's mansion, there are only jewelry shops and rouge and gouache shops, but these two shops are in a hurry. Every year, there are more than 100000 interest income from these two stores after the dividend is removed. In addition to this, there are also farm shops and houses. Brother you is the richest one among the brothers and sisters. Of course, Qihao is not one of them.

As usual, Qiyou agreed without shaking his brow. But this time, he didn't promise: "three elder brothers, I have money, but I won't lend it to you." Even if he said he had no money, Qixuan would not believe it.

"Why"

Qiyou said: "my mother said that if you ask me to borrow money, you are not allowed to borrow it."

Kai Xuan stared: "when did it happen?"

"Last year. My mother would have known that you are not making ends meet, so we are not allowed to borrow money. " In fact, Yuxi didn't say this at all, but just now Qixuan's attitude towards Dai Yanxin made Qiyou angry.

In recent years, Qixuan has been free and easy in the outside world, and has never been in charge of the family affairs. Even if he did, he would go out and bring back a beautiful woman. Dai Yanxin never complained about him in front of Yuxi, but also filial to Yuxi and Yunqing for him. At this point, Qiyou took her as her own. But Qixuan didn't have any gratitude, which was too heartless.

Xuange'er doubts whether Yuxi is really his mother-in-law. Normally, when parents know that their son doesn't have money for their grandson's wedding, they will make up for it. Now, if we don't mend it, we won't allow our brother to give it to him. There is no mother in law or son in this way.
