503, Dismissing Aunt 3
Ten thousand taels of silver!
Not to mention the shock of the aunts, even Gu Shangshu was dumbfounded, and his handwriting...was too big!
On the premise that a family in the capital has a house, if there is no extravagance and waste, five taels of silver a month for a family is enough! In the countryside, one tael of silver is enough to live well. The monthly salary of the maids in the mansion is two taels of silver, and Gu Shangshu's annual salary is more than one hundred taels of silver.
Ten thousand taels per person!
All the aunts were stunned by this number.
Gu Qianxue is not yelling nonsense, in addition to the negligible monthly money of the Gu family, she has rewards from King Li, concubine Qin, some gifts from Gu Shangshu, and cartloads of gifts from the emperor. . And Gu Shangshu has nine concubines, not counting the two who have daughters. Of the other seven, there are three newcomers and four old people. If the newcomers are 5,000 and the elderly are 10,000, they will need 55,000 taels of silver. These things are sold on the account.
And if Aunt Li and Aunt Ye also want to "buy out their working years" and leave, they will be counted as 12,000 taels per person, a total of 24,000 taels, which will come from Zhao's dowry. Anyway, it's useless for Mrs. Zhao to take money, and if all the aunts are driven away and only Mrs. Zhao is left, don't say Mrs. Zhao is a fool, even if she is clear-headed, she should be willing.
Of course... If Mrs. Zhao is not willing, then she will first ask Li Wang to borrow money, and then she will return the money to Li Wang when she makes money.
Don't doubt a modern person's means of making money, if he invents a little thing and sells it, all the money will be in Haihai's account.
The old lady Zheng nearly fainted, and was rescued by Nanny Zhou, "Qianxue, are you crazy? Those are... your dowry! How will you marry without a dowry in the future?" What she was thinking in her heart was, If Gu Qianxue didn't pay the dowry herself, would Shang Shufu have to spend money to marry her
Gu Qianxue said, "Grandmother, don't worry, I will not do things without considering the consequences, I have my own way."
Aunt Liu was born in the market, so she had already settled her bills—she was only twenty years old after the New Year, and five thousand taels of silver was something her natal family could never earn in her entire life. If the husband buys two concubines and a few maidservants, the new husband's family will definitely offer her up like a Bodhisattva. She takes good care of the money, buys a few shops, and earns every year like buying a few hens that lay eggs. The position is unbreakable.
"Master Qianxue, I am willing!" Thinking about it, Aunt Liu shouted out, then kowtowed to Gu Shangshu and said, "Master, it's not that I don't want to serve you, but that you don't like me, and I will always remember you." Good job, my lord."
Gu Shangshu nodded, "Okay, I'll give you another five hundred taels."
Aunt Liu was even more delighted, "Thank you, master, it's not in vain for me to serve you once."
Immediately afterwards, Aunt Zhou and Aunt Wang also expressed their willingness to take the money and leave.
It is worth mentioning that since the life-saving incident happened, Aunt Liu seemed to be Gu Qianxue's confidant, crushing the other aunts to death, especially Aunt Zhou and Aunt Wang. I began to admire Aunt Liu's methods. Seeing that Aunt Liu is willing to leave now, she firmly believes that taking the money and leaving is the best choice.
In this way, the nine aunts left six.
It can be said that there must be a brave man under the reward!
Gu Qianxue has always believed in the charm of money.
In modern times, she had heard a joke: a person told another person that he would buy his wife for ten yuan, and that person thought it was ridiculous. Finally, he said to spend a thousand yuan, but the man still thought it was ridiculous. With 100,000 yuan, the man said not to buy it, because his wife is priceless. With one million, the man began to hesitate, ready to move. When ten million is spent, the man decides to sell his wife.
Let alone the monogamous marriage system, let alone a concubine's room
Gu Qianxue didn't believe it, these concubines loved Gu Shangshu to death.
Then the four old concubines also readily agreed, and they couldn't help fantasizing about leaving the hopeless Gu Shangshu's mansion with a huge sum of 10,000 taels of silver. child.
In the end, even Auntie Li and Auntie Ye, who had daughters, were very moved, and only hated having a daughter.
Indeed, if you want to consolidate your status in Nanyue Kingdom, it is not enough to have a daughter, you must have a son. The two only have a daughter and no son, and the husband hasn't touched her for several years, and they feel that life is hopeless.
Gu Qianxue said, "Aunt Li and Aunt Ye, both of you have contributed indelibly to the Gu family, but all beings are equal, other aunts can choose, and so can you. If father agrees, Qianxue will make another suggestion." As he spoke, he asked Gu Shangshu.
Gu Shangshu nodded, "Qianxue, if you have any comments, just ask."
Gu Qianxue wondered why Gu Shangshu insisted on disbanding the concubine's house, but people do not want to kill the world for themselves. No matter whether Gu Shangshu is impulsive or deliberate, she must seize the opportunity for the Zhao family. I drove away the concubine's room today, if I want to accept it in the future... Hehe, there is no way!
"Qianxue, to be fair, the reason why Aunt Pei was able to take Gu Qianrou away was because of the strong backing of the Pei family. After leaving our house and getting rid of the identity of a concubine, there would often be a better destination, but the relationship between the two of you I'm afraid my natal family doesn't have the strength." Gu Qianxue told the truth, even if she was selfish, she should have a clear conscience. "If the two younger sisters really leave with you, they will no longer be Miss Shang Shufu. When you consider whether to stay or not, you should also consider the future life-long events of the two younger sisters."
The two who were about to move just felt that a basin of cold water was being poured on their heads, and their bodies and minds were chilled.
"Princess Qianxue taught me a lesson." The voices of the two were also full of depression.
"Next, let's talk about my suggestion," Gu Qianxue said earnestly, "If you want to stay, you can, but if you want to leave, if you bring your daughter, you can give each of you ten thousand taels of silver, but if you don't bring your daughter, Twelve thousand taels per person, the money comes from my mother’s dowry, and I will make the decision.”
Twelve thousand taels!
The crowd was in an uproar, really rich! Generous!
Not to mention the second-rank official family like Gu Shangshu's mansion, even if the royal family mentions ten thousand taels, it is not a small sum.
A woman is looking for her husband's family with a dowry of 12,000 taels, so why not pick and choose
Aunt Li and Aunt Ye are still unable to choose. On the one hand, it is for a better life for themselves, and on the other hand, it is the future of their own daughter.
Seeing Aunt Li and Aunt Ye's embarrassment, Gu Qianxue could tell that they were reliable mothers, "Don't worry, Aunt Li, if you leave, the two younger sisters will still be the young ladies of Gu Shangshu's mansion, and the grandmother will take care of you." Upbringing, no matter what the problem is, I, Gu Qianxue, will not ignore my younger sisters, and in the future when my younger sisters find their in-laws, I will personally check on them." Besides this, she has a big plan.
