[Red Mansion] Mother Jia has a paralyzed face
Chapter 4 Jia Mansion Layoffs
After kicking Jia Zheng and his wife away, Zhang Rui drank tea and felt relieved, feeling that he really shouldn't be so irritable, his face was beyond redemption, no matter how troublesome those people were, he still wanted to be a loving old woman.
Jia Min next to her has been watching what her mother is doing. She has always been smart and knows that her mother is for the long-term plan of the family, but, "Why does mother let people go out?"
Zhang Rui thought it was because she couldn't think of any other way to deal with the servants of Jia's mansion, so she could only hit a straight ball!But this is not enough for outsiders.
So Zhang Rui took Jia Min's hand, and the mother and daughter sat on the couch, and said earnestly, "You are young, and you don't know that the servants of this big family are deeply intertwined. Get to the bottom of it, now that your father is dead, your eldest brother is not motivated, your sister-in-law is good, but she is soft-spoken, your second brother has never cared about the affairs of the inner house, and the second sister-in-law is also good, but she doesn't know etiquette and has no scruples. Be a bad guy once, take this opportunity to clean up the inner house, it will be hard to find another opportunity next time."
Jia Min was thoughtful after hearing this, and asked tentatively, "Does mother still want to clean up the hands and feet of the sisters-in-law?"
"This is one of the reasons, but it's not the real important reason. I want to increase income and reduce expenditure. If this person uses one correctly, he is worth three. If he does not use the right one, it is better to use one at a time." Patting Jia Min's hand, "The Lin family is better than us in that the family rules are strict. The bad thing is that the relationship between the five generations of princes and servants is more complicated. The way to deal with things is not the same as that of the Xun Zhuzi family. I also want to change the people around you this time. Familiar servants are naturally good, but what really depends on ability and loyalty."
"The people around me are all given by my mother, of course they are all good."
Zhang Rui shook his head, "Mother doesn't mean that they are bad, but that your father booked the Lin family for you, so they are not good enough."
"Min'er is not clear~" Jia Min leaned on Jia's mother's shoulder coquettishly, "Mother taught me~"
"In the future, I will get along with my future son-in-law in private, just like now."
"Mother~" Jia Min twisted her handkerchief shyly, so that she could ignore Jia's mother.
Zhang Rui has seen Jia's mother's memory, why do men like concubines?Isn't it because the concubine's thoughts are all on men, and no matter how tricks Jia Mu has, she also uses them on women. Even if there are no concubines left behind, isn't it because there are three concubine daughters blocking her eyes?
"Your father and his family are gone, so my mother can see it clearly. This man, a little bit admires his wife, but a bad one abandons him like a shoe. The only one who suffers is the woman herself."
After Jia Min heard her mother's words, she turned her head thoughtfully. Zhang Rui couldn't help but stroked the little girl's hair, "When your mother married your father, she thought she was born in a noble family of historians. Bow your head, you are a young lady, so naturally you don't have to be like that vicious girl, but when you are married, you have the demeanor of a big girl outside, so naturally you have to be gentle inside, and you can't be careless..."
"Mother means to let me achieve my goal with gentle tactics?"
"...You can say that if you want, but be sincere. You can't let a man feel that you have a deep heart, let him love you and don't let him respect you." Seeing Jia Min lowered his head and thinking, Zhang Rui smiled, "Don't worry, take it easy Think about it, you can also take a look at the people around you, whoever decides to let go or stay in Jia’s house, don’t feel bad, this is to accompany you for the rest of your life.”
"Min'er will think about it carefully."
"Also, take good care of your body during this period. The Lin family is thin and only has one future son-in-law. You don't need to worry about housekeeping rights when you marry in the past. The most important thing is to give birth to a son-in-law early." After thinking about it, he said "I'm not going to let you bring a dowry maid to your future son-in-law, so it's better to settle it early if you have a big heart. If there is a day, it's better to find someone with a simple relationship outside than this dowry maid who understands you." It's easy to handle, as long as this woman has her own child, her heart will be big..."
"Min'er remembered."
When Jia Min also left, Zhang Rui guessed heaved a sigh of relief and leaned on the couch, and didn't let the maid come in, so he swayed indistinctly by himself, "It's so tiring to pretend! God knows I've never been married, and I still have to stand in front of God." The angle of view will affect everyone!"
"The host did a great job!"
Zhang Rui picked up the apple on the table and took a bite, and said vaguely while eating: "Do you think I will lead Jia Min astray? I originally wanted her to use softness to overcome strength, and not to bring the arrogance of the Xungui family to the world." The Lin family, she knows nothing wrong, right?"
"..." After another moment of silence, the system replied: "The system doesn't understand ancient humans."
Zhang Rui swears, this system is definitely not an ordinary intelligence, she definitely heard this guy's suspicious pause!Is it a future smart will still freeze? !joke!
But for now, the system is still her boss, and she hasn't figured out the character of her boss, so she still has to figure it out gradually if she complains about the boss's bottom line.
Zhang Rui couldn't hide alone for too long, and soon called Yuanyang to come in to serve her. Although she was still poor, she had decades of memory from Jia's mother, so it was only natural that she enjoyed being served by a little girl.
"Old madam, Brother Hu will come to the main courtyard for dinner after school, and the servants have privately decided to add some of his favorite dishes to the small kitchen. Don't blame him."
"You are careful." Zhang Rui really didn't think about it, the important thing is that Jia Hu is too sensible, she forgot for a moment that this is also a child who wants to eat, drink and play.
When Jia Hu finished school, the grandparents and grandchildren had dinner together. He was really happy. Zhang Rui also patiently asked him a few words about what the teacher taught him. Jia Hu answered. Ancient children are really amazing!
After the matter was ordered, Zhang Rui simply avoided the greetings for a few days, and took care of his body quietly. When he saw Mrs. Zhang again, he asked his in-laws to help Jia Zheng find a husband.
Naturally, Mrs. Zhang would not reject her mother-in-law, and Zhang Rui was not so cheeky, so she took a pair of calligraphy and paintings from Jia Mu's warehouse as a gift. Those things that are not taken seriously by Xun Zhuzi's family are those who are fond of reading. Very well, you can tell by Zhang's expression.
It didn't take long for Mrs. Zhang to bring back news that the other party was an old head of the Ministry of Industry. This low-level official's life was not as good as that of Xun Zhuzi's family. Apart from raising his children and grandchildren, he was willing to do something to earn some money when he was idle at home.
"Of course, Master Ye will be the master after he retires, but it is enough for the second master to be familiar with the Ministry of Industry. The father-in-law said that when the second uncle is born, the father said that the second master should come and sit at home."
This was said in front of everyone who was paying respects, but Mrs. Wang didn't realize that Jia Zheng was astute, and immediately bowed deeply to the sister-in-law. The father of the sister-in-law has been an official for many years, and there are too many people to ask for advice. , Said to sit and sit, but not to teach him a thing or two personally!
Of course Mrs. Zhang helped Jia Zheng up, but she was very calm in accepting this obeisance. Her father has never been very satisfied with Jia's family. This time, it was because her mother-in-law quickly decided to move the big house to the main courtyard, so she was willing to help. , and after the filial piety is decided, I have to look again.
But Mrs. Wang was not convinced. Even after listening to Jia Zheng's explanation, she still complained: "Why can only the sister-in-law's family help the master, and my second brother has a bright future, and my father can help the master~"
Jia Zheng, who was in a good mood, didn't feel any damage to his self-esteem, but said patiently: "Of course it would be nice to have advice from my father-in-law and brother-in-law, but it's just that my brother-in-law is in an emergency, and I can't bear to disturb him."
Wang Ziteng, the second elder brother of the Wang family, is now struggling to make progress, let's not talk about time, for Jia Zheng, his brother-in-law Guan Lu Hengtong is also a good thing for him, and it doesn't matter if he has guidance or not.
However, Jia Zheng and his wife said privately that the Wang family is too busy to reduce the number of servants, and there is no way to get distracted. After another two days, the two sisters-in-law sorted out the list of all the servants in the mansion and handed it over. Gave it to Mother Jia.
Zhang Rui didn't say anything after taking the thick stack of rosters, but left the roster behind, which made the two sisters-in-law, who each had their own cronies, a little uneasy, and it always made people flustered and unable to land without a place to go.
Not to mention these two people, even the servants, of course, some of them were interested in Jia Mu's suggestion that they could go home to study, but most of them were afraid that they would not be able to stay in Jia's mansion.
Zhang Rui didn't have a clue and didn't dare to make a decision casually, and she didn't dare to hand it over to her two daughters-in-law, so she had to ask Jia Min to come over for analysis. Let her know more about how to deal with housework before she gets married.
Not in a hurry to deal with it, Zhang Rui listened to Jia Min's analysis of the servants, and went back to think about it carefully. Sometimes when Jia Min came over the next day, he would subvert his improper consideration. Jamin said something.
But after all the rumors got out, there were almost no troubles in front of Zhang Rui's eyes. It's just that the big maids around him were more or less tricked into giving benefits, but they couldn't give any definite news. Time is also frightening.
Although Zhang Rui told Jia Min that the relationship between the servants was complicated, it was only then that he realized what kind of bad debt the servants of Jia's mansion were.
The mother and daughter took care of each other slowly, when the system replied that it was okay to collect the dishes, so Zhang Rui reduced the portion of each meal and just asked the small kitchen to cook different dishes every day, on the one hand to satisfy the appetite, and on the other hand to complete the collection task .
It’s just that each dish is only worth one point. Zhang Rui thought that the value of fish and fish is naturally different, so he copied the recipe from the kitchen and came back from the system. As expected, the value of the recipe is higher, and the points are also ten points. It ranges from a few hundred to a few hundred. It is estimated that some private recipes are higher, but they are not easy to get.
However, she is not discouraged. In the past few decades, she probably knows what she needs to collect this time. There will definitely be more and more points in the future, but she doesn't know what to exchange for. Ask the system and it will say that it depends on the points. , but Zhang Rui feels sure that they have no real rewards, which remains to be verified.
Zhang Rui has only been busy with such a hammer and a stick for less than half a month. She has not yet confirmed the list of layoffs, and the servants in the mansion have become confused by themselves.
Jia Min next to her has been watching what her mother is doing. She has always been smart and knows that her mother is for the long-term plan of the family, but, "Why does mother let people go out?"
Zhang Rui thought it was because she couldn't think of any other way to deal with the servants of Jia's mansion, so she could only hit a straight ball!But this is not enough for outsiders.
