Although Jia Fuzhong is very rich, there are certain rules for everything, and there are rules for who should take how much money in a month. According to the rules of Jia Province, the monthly money of the young masters and ladies is two or two pieces of silver per month.
Regarding the monthly money in Jia Province, Ping'er once had a very serious explanation: "The girls' two or two a month were not originally for the purpose of buying these, but for the grandmother, wife, or not at home for a while, or not idle, the girls accidentally asked for a few money for a while, saving themselves from finding someone to go, which was originally afraid that the girls would be wronged, but it can be known that this money is not only available for buying this..."
It was also two or two silver a month, but the young master in Jia Fu showed a different economic situation. The most poor girl is probably Xi Chun. This Miss Qianjin, who lived in Rongguo Mansion, had an early death of her mother, her father did not return home in the Taoist Temple, her brother and sister-in-law did not pay any attention to her, and her pocket money every month was only two or two pieces of silver. Therefore, although Xi Chun likes to draw since she was a child, she does not have a special brush and paint at all, but only uses a writing pen to paint, and the color is pitiful to only four of the most common.
Although Miss Qianjin can't go out, they can ask their own nurses or their sons to buy what they need outside. Xi Chun lacked brushes and paints, and never added, no doubt because the hand was too tight, the two or two silver monthly money, in addition to adding fat powder, occasionally rewarding people, has very little.
And the most generous person is, of course, Jia Baoyu. The seventeenth time, Jia Baoyu was temporarily "caught" by his father Jia Zheng, accompanied his father on a tour of the Grand View Garden, and inscribed plaques everywhere.
What is rare is that this time Jia Zheng did not be too harsh on Jia Baoyu, although he reprimanded him a few times, but he was quite satisfied overall. So Jia Zheng's little squatters counted this "credit" on their heads: "Thanks to us today, the old man likes it." The old lady sent people out to ask several times, all thanks to us to say that we liked it, otherwise, the old lady told you to go in, you will not be allowed to show your talents, everyone said that your poems are stronger than the world's, today you have such a lottery, it is time to reward us. ”
This scene is probably often staged in Jia Fuzhong, and Jia Baoyu is also very skilled in announcing the tip: "One hanging money per person." ”
According to the rules of Jia Province, each master has an unequal number of small houses around him. As the young master in Jia Province, Jia Baoyu was surrounded by seven or eight small houses. And Jia Zheng, as the old man of Jia Province, the number of small houses around him will only be more than Jia Baoyu, and it is impossible to be less than him.
A small house rewards a hanging money, Jia Baoyu said that he also had to take out seven or eight hanging money rewards. In "Dream of the Red Chamber", a hanging money is less than one or two pieces of silver, which is roughly equal to seven or eight pieces of silver. Three hanging money is equal to two or two pieces of silver, and Jia Baoyu's reward this time will probably cost him more than two months of monthly money.
What's more crucial is that these little squatters, who have long been tired of Jia Baoyu rewarding them with a hanging of money, protested one by one: "Who has not seen that hanging money?" Reward this bag. "Say, one comes up to unwind, and the other one unwinds." There is no room for scores, and the things that Baoyu wears are all solved.
Although Jia Baoyu did not succeed in using money to reward Xiao Wei this time, he was definitely able to come up with so much money, otherwise a master could not "play tricks" with the next people. Jia Baoyu, who only has two or two silver a month, why can he take out five or six silver at a time to reward Xiao Wei? Wouldn't he feel like he wasn't running out of money?
The twentieth time, Jia Baoyu returned to her room, saw that only Musk Yue was alone in the lamp, and asked her why she did not play with the other girls. Musk Yue smiled, "There is no money." Jia Baoyu said, "There are so many piles under the bed, is it not enough for you to lose?" ”
This detail also shows that Jia Baoyu's "generousness" not only rewards Xiao Wei with several hangings of money, but also lets the servants take their own money to "lose" casually.
It was also two or two silver monthly dollars a month, but the young masters and ladies in jia mansion lived a completely different life. Xi Chun can't even afford to buy paint and paintbrushes, YingChun was told by his own mother that he spent their money, and it took several months to save a few hanging money, but Jia Baoyu often rewarded Xiao Wei with several hanging money, why are their ways of spending money so different?
In fact, this can only be said to be because the status of Ying Tan Xi and Jia Baoyu in Jia Fu is still too different. Although Jia Fuzhong is very spoiled for his daughters, in the end, they still can't compare with Jia Baoyu. Every time Jia Baoyu went out, Jia Mu had extra pocket money for him, and on the twenty-fifth time, Jia Mu once commanded: "In the days when Da Fan Bao Yu goes out, take a few strings of money and give them to his boys, meet monks, poor people, and give alms." ”
The little squatters still went out with the extra money given by Jia Mu, not to mention Jia Baoyu.
Therefore, although Jia Baoyu's monthly money is only two or two pieces of silver, he is more generous than anyone else, and his money comes from Jia Mu's extra rewards.
