Hearing what An Ran said, Pan Tao didn't dare anymore. Although she was arrogant, she would not even give her a greeting gift when the mistress came. Others would say that she had no etiquette, so she didn't do it right now.

I said it, thinking about the new grandma giving such a small greeting gift, it is not her who is embarrassed. Since she is unwilling to change, then let her be embarrassed.

At that moment, An Ran looked at the other people who complained about the lack of greeting gifts and said, "If you feel that I gave you too little and you suffered a loss, you can take the greeting gifts back."

These people, like Pan Tao, did not take it away.

An Ran saw that no one said anything more, and immediately said: "You don't need to come to see me in the future, I don't need others to greet me every day."

As soon as she said this, those people became happy. After all, no one wants to greet others every day, especially many ladies, who like to make a fuss about greeting others, like deliberately letting people come to greet others at dawn and wait for others to come.

Then they made others wait and disappear, or they didn't let people get up for a long time when saluting, and so on. There were many tricks. My grandma didn't need them to come to say hello. In other words, they could avoid such tricks. These people

Naturally happy.

Myolie was puzzled. After those women left, she asked An Ran, "Miss, why don't you let them come to pay your respects? Will it make them think that if the lady has a good personality, they will bite her nose?"

An Ran said: "Rather than letting them think that I have a good personality and know how to push my nose and face, I don't want to see them."

An Ran simply didn't want to waste time on them, so she didn't see them, but Xing'er understood it wrong, thinking that her young lady didn't want to see so many women, so she nodded and said, "That's right, out of sight is out of mind.

."

Then she stopped talking for a while, and Xing'er said again with difficulty: "Miss, the government stipulates that each man can only have ten people at most, and my uncle has fourteen people. The extra ones will be raised by my uncle himself. After one year,

I don’t know how much I spent on monthly money, clothes, jewelry, etc. Does this uncle still have money on hand?"

An Ran smiled and said: "You don't care whether he has money or not. Anyway, our food and clothing expenses are paid by the government. If he has no money, we are not afraid of being left without food or clothing."

"I'm afraid that if the prince and princess pass away in the future, and we live separately with my uncle, he will spend all his money on raising a woman, and our family will not be able to make ends meet, and he will let the young lady use the dowry to support the family." Myolie said worriedly.

Generally speaking, the man's family will not let the woman use dowry to support the family, but if the family really has no money, how can you be embarrassed not to use the money to support the family?

An Ran said: "Then let's wait until then."

She has such a strong fist, why is she afraid of Wei Heng? Anyway, she won't use dowry to support the family. Then she will ask him if he should support a few fewer women, or if everyone lowers their living standards until he has enough money to support the family.

How can you live a life rich and poor, and still worry about not being able to survive? After all, you are an aristocrat, no matter how poor you are, can it be more difficult than those poor common people? The poor common people can survive, how can Wei Heng and others not survive?<

/p>

Xing'er saw that the young lady was not worried, so she didn't say anything more. Anyway, there is no need to worry about these things for the time being. In addition, the prince and princess are still in good health and should still live for a few more years. The houses will not be divided for the time being, so then

Let’s take a step at a time.

An Ran thought for a while and said: "By the way, when you have time, take out the box of silver and tell Manager Zhang to buy some more Zhuangzi."

Manager Zhang was the steward who helped An Ran manage external affairs. He was in charge of all shops and businesses. An Ran had observed his character for a while and found that he was not bad, so he did not replace him.

In addition to the 12,000 taels of dowry given by the Prince of Anyang County as the betrothal gift, Mrs. Fang bought some dowry for her, Zhuangzi, but still kept about 8,000 taels to make a box of silver for her.

This kind of banknote money is usually used to worry that when a girl comes to her husband's house and needs money - such as when giving gifts today, how can you give gifts if you don't have money - and if you don't have the little monthly money given by your husband's family, you can find your husband.

Yes, what if the husband is a loser? Then you need to use the banknotes.

Considering that her uncle was a loser, Mrs. Fang left a lot of money for her daughter. If she hadn't been afraid that Wei Heng would be a loser, she would have bought more from Zhuangzi.

At that time, An Ran couldn't persuade Mrs. Fang to buy more Zhuangzi. She was not afraid of running out of money, so she only left so much silver in the box with Mrs. Fang. Anyway, she could handle it by herself when she got to the palace.

So at this moment, An Ran asked Xing'er to give the money to Guanshi Zhang and let him buy Zhuangzi so that he could make a profit and avoid leaving the money at home without producing anything, which would be a waste.

When Xing'er heard An Ran say that she took out all the money in the box to buy Zhuangzi, she couldn't help but said: "Miss, take it all out. What will you do if you have no money to use?"

An Ran said: "Don't worry, the government pays monthly money and I don't have much expenses. It's enough. If you really have no money, take those old-fashioned red gold jewelry to my jewelry shop and melt down a few pieces and exchange them for gold."

We already have beans, gold, and silver. Anyway, you can’t wear those old-fashioned jewelry. It’s better to exchange them for money, which is more cost-effective.”

The reason why An Ran has some old-fashioned red gold jewelry here is that many of them were given to her by others before she got married, as well as gifts from relatives when she got her haircut, as well as the greeting gifts she received when she came to the palace just now.

Not everyone will carefully choose gifts to give to others, and sometimes they will randomly choose something to send away. After all, in this era, the more exquisite the craftsmanship, the more expensive it is. Things with no style are only worth the gold and silver itself, and the added value is relatively small.

Not much. Some people only have that kind of relationship with An Ran or Mrs. Fang Da. How can they choose expensive things? Just give them some decent things. So the gold rings, gold hairpins, and gold bracelets are still quite a lot, quite a lot.

They all have no style and can only be used after being melted, not easy to wear.

An Ran originally considered the whereabouts of these things. When Madam Fang bought her a shop, she asked her to buy her a small jewelry shop. It didn't need to be big or good, the main reason was that she wanted to melt these jewelry in the future.

When you need help, there is a convenient place to deal with it, otherwise you have to ask others for help, which is troublesome.

Moreover, her reputation is not good when it comes out. Don’t let people think that she has no money and wants to melt down her jewelry for money. She is not afraid of a bad reputation, but she is afraid that Mrs. Fang and others will worry about it.

But unless it is melted, the jewelry cannot be worn, so it can only be left at home to gather dust and cannot be used. It is too wasteful - many female relatives in Beijing are like this. Many jewelry can no longer be worn, but there is no place to dispose of it.

All it can do is let it gather dust in the box - that's why An Ran asked Mrs. Fang to help her buy a small jewelry shop to deal with these things.

With this shop, when you have no money, you can always take it to the shop and process it into gold beans and gold ingots, or you can change them into silver ingots. It is always more convenient to exchange them in your own shop than to go to the bank, and you will not be ripped off.
