Red Chamber misrepresentation

It is said that Jia Daishan passed away suddenly, and Jia's mother was so sad that she couldn't manage the affairs, so she handed over the Jia family to Zi Xin, and said that she didn't want to see things and think about others, so she moved to the courtyard behind Rongxi Hall, but she didn't Asking Jia She and Zi Xin to move in at another date, the Rongxi Hall was vacated just like that.After Jia Daishan's coffin was laid out for a hundred days, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng chose a day to send the coffin back home together.In this way, when things come to an end, the Mid-Autumn Festival is over.

September is originally a time when the autumn is high and the air is crisp, and the crabs are fat and the chrysanthemums are yellow.But now Jia's mansion is on filial piety, the mansion is plain, and what's going on outside has nothing to do with it.After Jia Daishan passed away, Jia's mother chanted Buddhist scriptures all day long and ignored everything.Although Zixin, as a married daughter-in-law, is also in mourning, she still has to take care of Jia's family.It is also because of the current filial piety, all the food and beverages are uniformly prepared by the big kitchen.

Because Mother Jia didn't mention letting Zixin move into Rongxi Hall, it was inevitable that Zixin would travel between Zhiyuan and Rongfu at first.In fact, Zixin doesn't care about the so-called main house now, she lives comfortably in Zhiyuan.Not to mention that the places in Zhiyuan are arranged according to her wishes, even if there are all people she can trust, they are more in her heart than Rongxitang.Now that Mother Jia doesn't mention the matter of moving, Zi Xin is also happy at ease.There was originally a Jiashan hall in Zhiyuan for the mistress to discuss matters.Outside the open hall is another large yard, Zi Xin was satisfied with it, and ordered someone to clean it up early in the morning, after Jia She and his brother helped the coffin back to their hometown, Zi Xin began to serve as director in the Zhi courtyard.

On the first day of October, Zixin was the director in Zhiyuan.The ladies in charge everywhere would not give Zi Xin a blow at this time.Therefore, at the right time, there are already a lot of people coming.The weather in October is getting cooler, and the sky in Maozheng is very bright, and the Jiashan Hall is still holding the lamps.All the mothers who are in charge, and the ladies who are in charge, although they are looking down respectfully, they have their own thoughts.Zixin's eyes swept across their faces, and then glanced at the chime clock, to confirm that no one was late, then spoke softly,

"Mothers are all business and old, so I don't need to say more. I also know that you have worked hard these days. However, each housekeeper naturally has its own rules. So please listen to me a few more words."

As she spoke, Zi Xin glanced aside.Immediately a little girl was holding a tray and went to the stewards. There was a brand new account book and a record on it.Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing that Zi Xin agreed.I only heard Zixin say again,

"I don't care about the past. This is a new account book. Please record it one by one. If you can't write your own name on it, the person who registers will sign it on your behalf. Let them press their fingerprints. But. Here, I don’t need to report every day, just go back and forth every five days. If something happens, you can deal with it according to your discretion, and record it. There is only one item, no matter where it goes, if something goes wrong, I will also report it. Regardless of right or wrong, I have been relieved of my errands since I was in charge. When the matter is found out, those who are wrong will naturally be punished, and those who are not wrong will be punished for negligence. Do you understand?"

All the mothers and ladies in charge lowered their heads and secretly exchanged glances.For a moment no one answered.Seeing this, Zi Xin sneered, and said again, "It seems that mothers don't understand, and they are not in a hurry. Someone here will explain in detail, and everyone will understand. If you understand, you can sign a letter with Mama Li. If there is a mistake in the future, don't mention the word 'I don't know' to me."

Only then did the people in charge know, and if they don't understand today, they have to understand, otherwise they won't get the right cards, and they won't be able to do anything.So one by one stepped forward and signed their names after reviewing the new rules again.Even so, it has been four years since Zixin married into Jia's house, and she doesn't like to be in charge, and she doesn't see her holding Jia's house tightly in her hands, she just thinks that she is soft-tempered and easy to bully Yes, it's just that there are a few powerful mothers around, so I can't help being contemptuous.

Therefore, even though it was Zi Xin who made the new regulations, everyone listened to them, but they couldn't hear it, and they didn't take the signature seriously at all.Because the managers in various places don't have to answer every day, they are happy and comfortable, and they gradually act boldly.In addition, Zi Xin didn't respond to the sneaky and sneaky temptation several times, let alone take her seriously.It's just that the warehouse is now guarded by Qian Mama, and everyone feels that what they thought before is confirmed.There are those who have crooked thoughts, always bow down in front of Zixin, flatter and flatter, just thinking that one day they can replace a few mothers.Zi Xin watched coldly and didn't say much, but at the end of the month, all the stewards were asked to hand in the account books and records.At this moment, some people became anxious, and asked privately like this, the big kitchen mother Yang comforted everyone, "This method does not blame everyone, she really took care of us, who will do things? Isn't this mansion in chaos? "The whole group felt polite after hearing this, so they also felt at ease.

The next day was the first day of the new year, and everyone gathered in Jiashan Hall.In fact, although the managers in various places were negligent, they did not dare to reveal a single word after explaining it to them, especially the account books, but most of the records were blank.Zi Xin looked at them one by one in front of everyone, but she didn't deny it.After reading it all, he waved his hand and ordered someone to take it away. Then he said casually, "I'll take a closer look. I'll check the account book with Mama Qian's ledger later to find out freely. But this record..."

Zi Xin glanced over the crowd, and smiled, "It was also my negligence, and now the mansion still observes filial piety, so there are so many things going on. Since there is nothing going on everywhere, I'm afraid there is no need for so many people."

After hearing Zi Xin's words, everyone still didn't understand something, and they were stunned for a while.But there was the clever one, who immediately knelt down and shouted, "The princess atones!"

This seemed to wake up everyone, and they all knelt down and begged for mercy.Zi Xin just smiled lightly, without saying a word.

"Princess, this old slave has something to say."

An old woman in her early forties stepped out of the crowd.Zi Xin raised her eyes and recognized that this was Mama Yang, the chief steward of the big kitchen.Mother Yang didn't wait for Zi Xin's permission, and said,

"Princess, you also said that we have to decide what to do. If there is something to do, we will write it down. But we have done everything, so it's not all right, why should we record it?"

Zixin nodded and pointed to Manzhi beside her. Manzhi immediately stepped forward, took out the new regulations of the day, and read, "The steward needs to register and record the matters handled, and hand them over to Mama Li on the last day of each month. .”

"Mother Yang, it just so happens that I have something to ask you." Zi Xin pulled out an account book with a smile and threw it in front of Mother Yang, "The account books handed over by all the managers are new, but you still have the old one. I'm afraid Did you take it wrong?"

"Oh, look at my memory. I took the new account books and records home that day, but I didn't want my little grandson to be naughty and pee on them. How can this be used. I see that the old ones can still be so much Blank, then..."

Mother Yang slapped her thigh and said suddenly.

Zi Xin nodded, looked to the side, and immediately walked out of two rough daughters-in-law, one on the left and one on the right to support Mama Yang.Mother Yang was shocked, and couldn't help shouting,

"Who dares to touch me. I, I belong to the old lady."

"Oh? If that's the case, I'll trouble you two to send Mama Yang to the old lady. Mama Li, lead someone to enclose all the people in the big kitchen. Mama Zhao, the big kitchen will trouble you first."

The tone of Zi Xin's voice remained the same, it was still lukewarm, and it still sounded soft.But falling into the ears of others is not the case.I saw that Mother Yang kept struggling and shouting, but she was suppressed and could not move.After a while, there was no movement.Everyone looked at Zixin and finally understood that she had planned a long time ago, and each lowered their heads, not daring to say another word.

"I think everyone understands, what should be memorized and what should not be memorized in the future, I don't need to repeat it!" Zi Xin picked up the tea and took a sip.How could everyone dare to say no, they all looked at the account book and the record.The matter of the record has been revealed, but the account book... a few sneaky men felt cold sweat protruding from their vests and their legs felt weak.

Mrs. Li first accompanied Mrs. Yang to Mrs. Jia's place, and said something succinctly.Mother Jia looked at Mother Yang, who was kneeling on the ground, with a gloomy expression.She took a breath, turned to face Li's mother and smiled,

"This nasty woman dares to do that in my name. Go back and tell the princess what to do."

"It's really wrong to disturb the old lady today. This is what this diabolical slave yelled in front of everyone. The princess is also afraid that the old lady will look bad. Please forgive me." Mama Li said and took Mama Yang away like a gust of wind.Jia Mu was left alone to get angry.

Jia's mother turned to Lu's mother and said, "Go, pass on my words and sell all of Yang's family to me."

Mother Lu immediately nodded in agreement.Although Jia's mother was angry with Zixin for acting arbitrary, she didn't discuss with her beforehand, and she didn't pay attention to her at all, and she was even more angry that Yang's mother was so stupid that she moved her out at this time.If it got out, it would be her ordering her servants to make things difficult for the housekeeper's daughter-in-law.When the news of Mama Yang's family being sold out came out, the people in charge became more honest.

Although most people have become honest, they are so unbelievable.Zheng Liu, the foreign manager above the purchasing department, is headed by Zheng Mama, the second manager of the kitchen.In the past, he often colluded with Yang's mother and greedy for money and money.Seeing that Yang's mother was betrayed, and his family was circled again, he felt angry.And because Jia amnesty and Jia Zheng are not there, even though there are big managers in the outer court, but relying on the filial piety in the mansion now, there will be no big disturbances, so they ignore it and make a big fuss.That Zheng Liu held a kitchen knife horizontally, and shouted that the princess is unreasonable and will not make people live, and everyone also said goodbye.Instead of talking nonsense, Zi Xin ordered the brothers and sisters of the Bai family to restrain Zheng Liu, and then ordered Li's mother to lead people to capture the Zheng family's servants and imprison them in one place.The other end asked Ningguo Mansion to borrow Jiao Da, and asked him to take someone to check the house where Zheng Liu was on duty outside.

Jiao Da is now being raised in the Ning Mansion. Although his life is comfortable, it is also a bit boring.It is rare to feel that this old bone of my own is still useful, so naturally I will do my best.People who are slaves have no right to own property.After this investigation, it was found that Zheng Liu was outside three of them into the small courtyard, and his daughter had two servant girls, who looked like young ladies.Who is Jiao Da?He had always looked down on slaves who deceived his master the most, so he immediately ordered people to confiscate Zheng Liu's property and hand it over to Zi Xin.The evidence was convincing, and Zi Xin was not relentless, and immediately sold Zheng Liu's family.After Mama Qian finished closing the account, there was another person who was greedy for ink, either sold it, or sent it to the village.There are also those who implicate the whole family.There were quite a few vacancies for errands at the moment, but it was too late to wait for someone to gain a higher position, Zi Xin had already made arrangements.Those who were robbed of their errands had nothing to do in the mansion.If you don't work on errands, you don't have monthly silver, and you only live on the two meals provided by the mansion every day, and it's really sad to be bullied by others.People on errands cherished it even more when they saw it, and when they saw stealing, raping and playing tricks, they would attack together.Everyone in Jia's mansion performs their duties for a while, and they dare not neglect.

But there was someone who didn't know what to do, and begged to Jiamu.Mother Jia didn't deny it, but said that now that the princess is in charge of the house, it is naturally the princess who is in charge, and she is afraid that the princess will not take it to heart when her own people speak lightly.When the word reached Zixin, she didn't say anything else, she just handed over the family deeds of those people to Jia Mu, saying that she was adding someone to serve Jia Mu.Jia's mother was not too polite, she took all the deeds and rushed to marry Zhuangzi herself as a dowry.At first, some people were envious, but when they heard that those Zhuangzi were in the extremely cold north, no one made a fuss anymore.

After several fights, Jia's mother finally realized that this Zi Xin was actually pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.I also thought that her actions would definitely cause chaos in Jia's house, but I didn't expect that Zi Xin had planned it long ago, and there was such a continuous person who could be an errand director.This person didn't become a person overnight, and he was probably prepared for her when she entered the door.Jia Mu thought about it and felt regretful, but she didn't see it earlier.
