Chapter 464

"They won't last much longer."

Jia Hui agreed readily.

Recently, he had been busy with wedding arrangements and government affairs, so he hadn't had time to deal with the Jia family.

Now that the wedding was basically all settled.

And winter hadn't passed yet.

It was a good time to tidy up the Jia family.

Lady Wang was delighted to hear this.

Feng Feng Feng Jie was the same.

However, when Lady Wang heard the latter part, "And the relationship between you and me goes without saying."

A rosy glow instantly appeared on her fair face.

She looked at Jia Hui.

Her eyes became somewhat heated.

She seemed to recall the thrilling scene in the dining room before.

Then she looked somewhat guiltily at Jia Jia Jia Yuanchun, Qin Qin Qin Keqing, and the other women.

Qin Qin Qin Keqing and the others reacted calmly, all looking at her with smiles.

There was no dissatisfaction or annoyance.

This was understandable.

After all, there were already so many women in the house.

One or two more didn't make a difference.

It was Jia Jia Jia Yuanchun, however.

She still appeared expressionless.

Making Lady Wang unsure of what her daughter was thinking.

Amidst her anxiety.

Jia Hui had already stood up: "I will handle this matter in the near future. Just relax and wait."

After saying this, he left to go to the Qing Palace to see that Sun Sun Sun Shaozu.

Although he loathed this Sun Sun Sun Shaozu.

Just for the sake of the 'check-in', it was worth seeing him.

Besides, he believed that by tormenting this guy.

There would definitely be rewards.

This even made him look forward to it!

[468] The arrogant Marquis Marquis Wushuang Bo Fu! Has Feng Feng Feng Jie changed her nature? Lady Wang is stunned.

Lady Wang and the other women saw this and hurriedly stood up.

Watching the tall, handsome, and dashing man leave with affectionate eyes.

Then, after sitting back down, the women began to chat enthusiastically again.

The women all suggested playing mahjong together.

"What is mahjong?"

Lady Wang was stunned.

"It's a type of domino game invented by our husband."

Feng Feng Feng Jie introduced it proudly.

When Lady Wang heard it was a domino game, she subconsciously shook her head.

Because she was similar to Feng Feng Feng Jie.

She hadn't read many books.

Domino games, which required some cultural foundation.

She wasn't very good at playing.

And she had always loved quiet, disliked liveliness, and never took the initiative to participate in the playfulness of the younger generation.

Feng Feng Feng Jie held her hand and smiled: "My good aunt, my good sister, this mahjong is different from ordinary dominoes; it's purely about skill. With your intelligence and wisdom, you'll be able to pick it up quickly. Even I love playing it!"

Hearing that Feng Feng Feng Jie, who was similar to her, was Love Love Like this.

Lady Wang finally became interested.

Plus, this was a way to quickly build a better relationship with Qin Qin Qin Keqing and the other women.

Lady Wang smiled and agreed: "Alright, then I'll give it a try. If I don't play well, don't blame me, ladies."

"Naturally, we won't."

Qin Qin Qin Keqing and the others agreed with smiles.

"However, we play for money."

When Lady Wang heard about gambling for money.

She immediately frowned.

It wasn't that she didn't Love Love Like gambling.

She could show care and generosity to girls Love Love Like Lin Lin Daiyu, Xue Xue Baochai, Shi Shi Xiangyun, Baoqin, Xiuyan, Li Wen, and Li Qi.

Providing them with moral and financial support to make things convenient for them.

With so many people living in the Grand View Garden, she still distributed monthly allowances. When Feng Feng Feng Jie said there were too many maids for the young ladies and it was hard to serve them, Lady Wang still said it wasn't more than before, without any dislike or resentment.

This formed a sharp contrast with Xing Shi's stinginess and snobbery. Lady Wang also had a heart to help poor and sick clansmen.

Therefore.

She did a good job in doing good deeds.

As for the girls playing games.

Although she didn't participate, she wouldn't oppose it either.

Instead, she provided funding.

So she didn't care about gambling.

It was just that she didn't have much money left.

Jia Jia Jia Yuanchun and Feng Feng Feng Jie immediately smiled: "The three of us will pool our money; Mother and Sister will play, we'll provide the funds, and if we win, we'll split it."

Lady Wang was moved and amused.

She remembered.

Come to think of it, she still owed Feng Feng Feng Jie a lot of silver from the last time she tried to save Jia Jia Jia Baoyu!

Thinking of this.

Lady Wang's face turned cold again.

Her expression was full of anger at the heartlessness of the father and son, Jia Jia Jia Baoyu and Jia Zheng!

"Aunt, don't think about these unpleasant things."

"As for the money, let's just write it off; you don't have to pay it back."

Feng Feng Feng Jie said at this moment.

Lady Wang was startled, looking at her niece in surprise: "This doesn't sound Love Love Like you!"

Indeed!

It was too unlike her!

How much Feng Feng Feng Jie used to love money!

She was cursed by all the servants in the mansion behind her back as fiercely as could be.

To the point of cursing her to go to the underworld.

Now she didn't want the money?

Had she changed her nature?

You have to know this wasn't just a few dozen or a few hundred taels of silver.

It was a full ten thousand taels of silver!

Feng Feng Feng Jie smiled: "Before, it was because money was needed everywhere, but now, it doesn't really matter."

"The monthly allowance is twenty taels of silver, which is Jia Mu's standard..."

In Jia Hui's house.

The standard for his women's monthly allowance was.

Qin Qin Qin Keqing was in a class of her own, with one hundred taels of silver per month.

That's 1,200 taels of silver a year.

Not counting other money received for the New Year and such!

What kind of concept was this?

The highest-ranking person in the Rongguo Fu was undoubtedly Jia Mu.

Her monthly allowance was only twenty taels of silver.

Other masters received anywhere from a few taels to ten taels of silver.

A first-class maid received one tael of silver.

In other words.

Qin Qin Qin Keqing completely crushed Jia Mu!

Even Jia Zheng, Jia She, and Xing Shi combined didn't equal Qin Qin Qin Keqing's alone.

And Jia Hui's other concubines were in another class.

Fifty taels of silver per month, uniformly!

Also far exceeding Jia Mu, and far, far exceeding the former Xing Shi, Lady Wang, and others!

Upon learning this.

Lady Wang was shocked: "What, that much money."

She did the math.

Qin Qin Qin Keqing alone was one hundred taels.

Then the other concubines.

Now, just on the surface, the concubines went up to the twenty-seventh concubine, her own daughter Jia Jia Jia Yuanchun.

In addition, You Mu was on the same level as Lin Lin Daiyu.

"This month, just for you masters, it costs 1,450 taels of silver a month, and in a year, that's a full 17,400 taels of silver!"

·· 0 begging for flowers 0 ·········

"Plus other large and small stewards, managers, and servants, just for the annual expenses, it's at least twenty thousand taels or so!!"

After doing the math, Lady Wang was shocked to death!

This far exceeded the Rongguo Fu!

Even the Ning and Rong mansions in their prime couldn't compare.

After all, a mansion didn't just have wages.

There was also grain, oil, rice, firewood, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, tea, and so on, as well as other expenses Love Love Like social obligations.

With the way the Marquis Marquis Wushuang Bo Fu spent money.

It would take at least tens of thousands of taels a year, maybe even tens of thousands more!!

This was a huge sum that far exceeded the budget for both the Ning and Rong mansions!

This made Lady Wang subconsciously frown.

Theoretically, this was Jia Hui's family business.

As an outsider, it wasn't convenient for her to say too much.

Even if she was Jia Jia Jia Yuanchun's mother and Feng Feng Feng Jie's aunt.

But they weren't the legal wives after all.

That was different.

However, Lady Wang didn't know what she was thinking.

She vaguely considered herself half a member of the Marquis Marquis Wushuang Bo Fu.

"Madam, isn't this a bit too much?"

"In a year, the whole mansion's expenses must be tens of thousands of taels of silver."

She wanted to advise Qin Qin Qin Keqing.

As a qualified mistress of the house, one must know how to manage finances.

Otherwise, if the Jia family spent money Love Love Like this.

They would go bankrupt in a few years.

It was already very difficult now.

Jia Hui's Marquis Marquis Wushuang Bo Fu wasn't even a Marquis mansion, so it should be even worse.

Qin Qin Qin Keqing smiled.

She wasn't mocking Lady Wang; she knew that loyal advice is hard to hear, and that the other party could say this meant she truly cared for her and considered her one of their own.

The other women all started laughing too.

Leaving Lady Wang confused but feeling the weight of it.

So.

Qin Qin Qin Keqing smiled and explained: "Lady Wang, don't worry, our Marquis Marquis Wushuang Bo Fu has its own considerations."

"Although it's tens of thousands of taels of silver, it's still easy for our Marquis Marquis Wushuang Bo Fu."

"Easy?"

Lady Wang looked surprised!

Goodness!

This was too arrogant!

Even their Duke mansion wouldn't dare say that!

Lady Wang frowned.

Feeling that Qin Qin Qin Keqing was exaggerating.

[469] Nine million in profit last month, stunning Lady Wang for a whole year! The showing-off women are overjoyed.

Although Lady Wang knew.

Jia Hui must have received a lot of bribes and gift money during this time.

Hundreds of thousands of taels should be there.

But she had heard Jia Jia Jia Yuanchun and Feng Feng Feng Jie say before.

They spent 1.75 million taels of silver to buy seven estates from the Ning mansion.

Later they bought three more.

Now they had ten estates!

The money should have been emptied out.

Even if ten estates a year.

Could bring in twenty-five to fifty thousand taels of silver.

With this way of spending, it would be hard to sustain, right?

And as a large family.

If one wants to pass it down and have long-term stability.

It's impossible to spend as much as you earn!

Earn one hundred thousand, save ninety thousand.
