In the dream of the Red Chamber, Jia Fu is a large family with many personnel, and who has how much money to dispose of each month is stipulated according to the status level. Jia Mu 20 two, Mrs. Wang Xing 20 two, Li Feng because of widowhood with children is not easy, yueyin 10 two, Wang Xifeng 5 two, the rest Jia Yingchun, Jia Tanchun, Jia Xichun, and Lin Daiyu are all yueyin 2 two. Later, Lady Xing's niece Xing Xiuyan came to join Lady Xing, because she was well-behaved and clever, and she was given 2 taels a month according to the girls' rules.
These monthly silver is nothing more than daily expenses, when Tanchun carried out reform in daguanyuan, he said that "we have 2 or 2 months of money every month, and the head grease powder every month is 2 or 2 each month, overlapping and overlapping, it seems inappropriate", so it seems that the girls and ladies in Jia Province do not have to spend money on eating and dressing, etc., but these money for eating, drinking and dressing are taken by people who are specially responsible for procurement, not controlled by the girls.
Grandma Liu is an ordinary farmer's family, a family spends 20 taels of silver a year is enough, these girls 2 or 2 months of silver, but also equivalent to an ordinary farmer's monthly living expenses, not less, from the details of the book we can see that these girls each cost and situation is different, according to the text we look at these differences.
Although Jia Yingchun's expenses are not mentioned in the book, we can also see it from Xing Xiuyan, who lives with her. Xing Xiuyan did not have enough money for two months, and he also had to use the winter clothes that were useful when the spring was cold. Where did her money go, except for Lady Xing's deduction of one or two to her parents, she herself had one or two left, and she had to make some of the next people in the Yingchun room and invite them to drink, otherwise these people would not be able to summon. From another side, it also shows that although there are girls' fat powder money in the public, they are not allowed to be enriched by these buyers, and the girls have to buy themselves.
And Yingchun because of cowardice, there is no deterrent to the people in her room, her own precious jewelry is tired of gold phoenix, her nursing mother dares to take it privately for money to spend, it is conceivable that her things can be turned over casually, but also shows that Yingchun there is no extra money there, and the nursing mother has made this decision.
Looking at Tanchun again, the 27th time in the book mentions that Tanchun wants Baoyu to buy her some kit-kat things outside, and says to Jia Baoyu, "I have saved up ten hanging money in these months, you take it, bring me some", it is Tanchun who has saved ten hanging money in a few months.
Tanchun was born to Aunt Zhao, and Aunt Zhao's monthly silver was also 2 taels, often stretched thin, and it was difficult to give a confession to the medicine king. When visiting Chun Li's family, her brother Zhao Guoji died, she took the lead in exploring Chun to use her position to give 20 taels of silver, Wang Xifeng gave her 500 yuan to her handmaiden, so angry that she complained more than once, but she thought that Aunt Zhao would not help but go to Find Chun to help.
At the same time, there is also a detail in the book, that is, in the small kitchen, Tanchun once wanted to eat oil and salt fried goji buds, take 500 money to the small kitchen steward of the willow aunt, said more reward her to play wine to eat, it seems that although the small kitchen regularly serves meals, but occasionally there is a desire to eat a small stove, but also need to spend their own money to take care of. Bao Yu had a birthday, and when Tanchun knew that Ping'er also had a birthday, he specially prepared two tables for Ping'er and let the next person withdraw from his own account, so it was not easy for Tanchun to save some money.
Xi Chun was young and appeared less often, and then there was Lin Daiyu. The little girl in Jia Baoyu's room sent tea to Lin Daiyu, just in time for Lin Daiyu to divide the money, Lin Daiyu grabbed two handfuls for her, and did not know how much. The mother-in-law in Xue Baochao's room sent Lin Daiyu bird's nest, and Lin Daiyu casually rewarded her with hundreds of dollars. When it comes to money, Lin Daiyu is a few hundred with her hands, and it is a handful to catch, which is completely the feeling of a rich man, the same is 2 months of money, why can Lin Daiyu become a rich man?
When we look at Lin Daiyu in the book, we look at it through the whole text, not like ordinary people who are flesh and earth, just like a ball of immortal qi condensed, not eating human fireworks. Other girls' extra fat powder money, small kitchen cooking and such expenses have nothing to do with her. She paid more attention to the improvement of the spiritual level, Liu Grandma entered her room and sighed which brother's study, returned from the funeral of her hometown, mentioned that she brought back pen, ink, paper and various books, so for Lin Daiyu, these two or two months of money are not needed at all. Throughout the book, Xiaoxiangguan is harmonious and warm, the master and servant are like sisters, close to Zhu Zhichi, the subordinates in her room are well-behaved and polite, and they will not try to calculate her money from her.
When Lin Daiyu entered Jia Mansion, Jia Mu repeatedly invited Lin Ruhai to send Lin Daiyu. It is not at all that Lin Ruhai cannot afford to raise, the Lin family is a generation of marquises, to Lin Ruhai is the fifth generation, earlier than the historical origin of Jia Province, Lin Daiyu is a deep-rooted foundation of the shi clan. Unlike the decline of Jia Province, Lin Ruhai was a former Tanhualang who was highly valued by the imperial court and hand-picked as the Imperial History of Patrol Salt. Lin Daiyu, who came from a prominent background, is the only daughter in the family, and she has traveled thousands of miles to Jia Province at a young age, can Lin Ruhai let her enter Jia Province empty-handed?
As the orphan of Jia Mu's most beloved daughter, Jia Mu has a double love for Lin Daiyu. Usually, she will also give Lin Daiyu money regularly, even Qin Zhong, who has just met, can get a small gold hammer, like Xue Baoqin, and the old lady will give her the precious Kun Jingqiu, then Lin Daiyu should have an income that Jia Mu gave privately. When Jia Fu raided the house, Jia Mu scattered all her spare resources to know how many treasures the old lady had.
Seeing that Lin Daiyu's screen window was broken, he had to change into a precious soft luo cigarette. Jia Mu's heart is obviously in Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu, and we see that not only Lin Daiyu does not blink anything about the reward, but even Jia Baoyu of 2 or 2 months of silver is the same.
When Jia Baoyu persuaded Musk Yue to play cards, he said that there was money under the bed, and you could take some to play with. When I asked Qingwen for a doctor, because I was too lazy to find it again, I took a piece of silver of 2 taels to pay the bill, and the reason why I was so generous and generous depended on Jia Mu's usual rewards.
Although Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu have the same attitude towards money, Lin Daiyu has a plan in mind, she knows that Jia Fu's economy cannot make ends meet, and she also advises Jia Baoyu to live frugally, and the reason why Lin Daiyu has become a rich man is not unrelated to her sense of crisis.
