第57章 鹊巢(1 / 2)

爱谁谁 风流书呆 0 字 2022-01-09

    便是父子三人磕破了脑袋,关素衣也不会触动半分,更何况他们只是做做样子。她曲指敲击桌面,漫不经心地道,“还是那句话,叶家人能不能留,得听凭侯爷定夺。”

    她冲金子略一勾手,问道,“方才那些人里,妇人、老人、少年男女、幼童,各几何?”

    金子心中微凛,暗道夫人的考验终于来了,不免绞尽脑汁回忆一番,迟疑道,“回夫人,妇人十六位,分别是叶府主母刘氏、犯官叶全勇的九位妾室、大房长媳宋氏、次媳李氏、四媳唐氏、三房夫人王氏、三房妾室吴氏、三房长媳郑氏;老人四位,分别乃三老太爷、三老夫人,还有叶老太爷的两个妾室;少年男女……似有十七位,男六,女十一,分别是谁奴婢认不全,请夫人恕罪;幼童则有四位,分别乃宋氏幼子、李氏幼女、唐氏幼女、郑氏幼女。”

    关素衣若有所思地看她一眼,颔首道,“你少数一个,少年男女十八位,男六,女十二,少年均为各房嫡子、庶子,十二名少女中唯叶馥、叶芬、叶然为嫡支小姐,其余诸人皆是从各个旁支里选来的容貌绝佳者,月月都有考核,未达到预期者便遣返回家,另有替补,长的能在叶府待三五年,短的只有一两日,你自是认不全。”

    金子是经过特殊训练才能在匆匆一瞥中辨识出那么多张面孔,点算出如此多位人数,然夫人的眼光却比她更为犀利,心念更为迅疾,即便暗卫头领来了亦稍逊一筹。这就是所谓的“才气天赐”吗?夫人果然不凡!

    金子已是心悦诚服,赵陆离却不知她们卖什么关子,不由急道,“夫人,叶府家眷有多少人咱们待会儿再清点,先给他们找地方安置吧,免得春寒料峭染了重病。你不是让我定夺吗?我同意了,叫他们全住下。”

    赵望舒傻头傻脑地笑了,想来很期待与表兄弟们同住,赵纯熙却脸色发白,心中不愿。

    关素衣垂下眼睑,慢慢拨弄算珠,“等我把话说完侯爷再做决定不迟。如今侯府有二百一十六口人,主子八人,仆役二百零八人,侯爷每月开销五百两到一千两不等,遇上年节多达四五千两;二老爷不在燕京,略过不提,弟妹身怀有孕,又带着木沐,每月的补品、药材皆不能少,另有四季衣裳、珠钗头面等物,加起来约二百两左右;老夫人素来节俭,却因年纪渐大,少不了请大夫时时诊脉,开几贴平安方,还要供奉寺庙,捐纳香油,零零总总也有一百两;赵纯熙每月月银二十两、衣裳、布匹、首饰、胭脂水粉等物时时供应,加起来至少八十两,倘若看中什么贵重珠宝想要买下,至多亦能达到几千两;赵望舒每月月银二十两、束脩二十两、笔墨纸砚皆用好物,取中折算五十两,另有交际玩耍,添加衣裳,购买精致物件,这儿那儿的花费近五百两;正房倒是没什么花销,便算个五十两。另,每隔几月必有亲近人家或上峰下属举办红白喜事,礼金从公中出,也是一笔不菲的数目。”

    她快速拨弄算盘,葱白指尖衬着灿黄算珠,堪称美不胜收,叫金子看直了眼。

    老夫人已品出味儿来,终于缓缓吐出一口气。

    “仆役二百零八人中,粗使仆役每月三百铜板,三等仆役每月半贯铜板,二等一两银子,一等二两银子,各司管事三两银子,副管家四两银子,管家五两银子;其中粗使仆役六十八人,三等仆役五十四人,二等仆役三十七人,一等仆役三十六人,各司管事五人,副管家四人,管家一人,总计每月薪资一百九十二两四钱,一年下来便是二千三百零八两八钱,再加上各位主子的用度……”

    她噼里啪啦一阵点算,少顷抬眸道,“侯爷,你可看见了,侯府每年用度高达一万九千一百八十二两八钱,且还是按照最节省的用度算,倘若我实打实的与你算清楚,单几百号仆役的嚼用就不是小数目,主子要穿衣吃饭,难道他们就不用?月银发不出,谁稀罕给你当差?然,侯府每年有多少进益,你心里也是清楚的,店铺、田地、你我的俸禄,还有二老爷每年送来的公中银子,勉强能维持收支平衡。如今你欲收留叶府家眷,便以为只是上嘴皮子碰碰下嘴皮子的事,只管去账房支领,而我负责中馈,却不得不与你掰扯清楚。待我来问你,你想怎么照顾他们?是只给一口饭吃还是比照侯府主子的份例?倘若比照主子的份例,每年用度便是这个数……”

    屋里又是一阵算珠相撞的脆响和女子婉转悦耳的通报,渐渐的,赵陆离额角已布满冷汗,头也越埋越低。

    片刻后,关素衣将算盘推至桌边,冷道,“十六位妇人与四位老人的用度,皆比照老夫人,每年二万四千两;六位少爷比照赵望舒,每年三万六千两;十二位小姐比照赵纯熙,每年一万一千五百二十两;四位幼童比照木沐,每年一千九百二十两,合计便是七万三千四百四十两,再加上诸人所带仆役的月银,大约在七万四千两上下,这还不算关押在天牢中的叶府男丁的诉讼费与打点关系、减轻刑罚所资。敢问侯爷这每年近十万两的花费从哪儿出?去偷还是去抢?”

    老夫人彻底舒坦了,一面捻着佛珠,一面冷眼旁观儿子汗如雨下,窘迫万分的丑态。

    “那一人给一口饭吃又该怎么算?”赵陆离脸皮红如渗血。

    关素衣轻蔑地睇他一眼,慢慢捋平算珠,淡声道,“给一口饭吃亦资费不小,侯爷需得做好准备。养活这么些人,吃穿住行总少不了,吃的……”

    众人全盯着她上下翻飞的指尖,仿佛那是一朵花儿,实际上小小的算盘也的确被她拨弄出一团锦绣,片刻功夫便得了结果,哪怕一减再减,却也需二万三千两左右。

    “侯爷,你给句话吧,叶家人是走是留?”关素衣把烂摊子推回去。

    赵望舒此时已露了怯意,悄悄往祖母身边躲,赵纯熙则抬眼直视父亲,极想从他口中得到一个“走”字儿。
