A Dream of Red Mansions Unexpected Visitors

It just so happened that Mrs. Wang was going to the Jinxiang Hou Mansion to attend the banquet. Everyone thought that Mrs. Wang was not there.Although Aunt Zhao is a concubine who is not valued, she has a boy and a third girl who is raised by Mrs. Wang. She is not too big or too small, and she is a good candidate for an excuse.

Therefore, when all the girls were in the small flower hall, which was also called the meeting hall by their wives, they asked Baochai how much silver they should be rewarded, and they didn't say how much silver they were rewarded.Baochai rewarded her family 40 taels of silver for remembering the death of Xiren's mother, but it seems that Mrs. Wang herself rewarded 20 taels of silver.If I follow the old rules I have seen in the past few days, I should reward 20 taels of silver.But Aunt Zhao is already a serious aunt, and she has Jia Huan and Tanchun, a son and a daughter. If the money rewarded is less than that of Xiren, who has not been put on the public eye, where will Tanchun face? put.So he wanted to ask Tanchun for a favor, so he asked Li Wan, how could Li Wan, who was a good man on the surface, offend Aunt Zhao and Tanchun, so he only talked about the 40-liang old case of attacking people, Baochai wanted to say Reward 40 taels of silver.

Unexpectedly, instead of pleasing Tanchun, this made her secretly annoyed.Because she hated herself for being a concubine and being a daughter. If a man had the possibility of being born in this small world in the future, a concubine's daughter is just a dispensable thing. Even if there is talent, the world only pays attention to the fact that women have no talents. , the great ability cannot be displayed.Now that I can take charge of the family affairs, in order to reap the benefits and eliminate the disadvantages, I looked through some old year's account books, but I didn't know that I should reward 20 taels of silver.After hearing Baochai's words, she felt that Baochai didn't consider herself and rewarded Aunt Zhao's silver too much. Doesn't Mrs. Wang know that she thought how she could get close to her aunt in her heart to benefit her aunt? When the time comes, this is not helping yourself but hurting yourself; the second is that the servants in the mansion are not easy to manage, and there are countless extravagant things on the account books, and now they give my aunt an extra 20 taels of silver. This example is not to make the servants unconvinced, and I don't know how many things they have found out.

Thinking about this, Tanchun stopped Wu Xindeng's daughter-in-law who left after catching the right card, and asked her about the old routine in previous years, but she was speechless after a few words, so she still took 20 taels and left. It's called Baochai.In fact, Baochai also knows that if she rewards 40 taels of silver, she may indulge these stewards. It's just that she hasn't become the second grandmother of Bao, and she has to let these servants close to Mrs. Wang speak well for her, besides, she is only temporary. For a period of time, Sister Feng will still be in charge after she recovers. At that time, compared with these stewards, she will definitely hope to be the second grandmother of Bao.When I marry in, it's not a matter of how these slaves want to be punished.Seeing that Tanchun stopped her, she thought she knew what she was thinking, so she didn't stop Tanchun from showing off.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Zhao heard these words. If Baochai hadn't said the 40 taels of silver, she would have gotten the 20 taels of silver happily. Very uncomfortable.It's not that she feels sorry for the money, even if she is just an aunt for many years, she can always save a few hundred taels of body money, but she is thinking about whether Tanchun will get close to her.The piece of flesh that fell from his body was only for Mrs. Wang, and he didn't think of mother-daughter affection at all.A moment of confused idea got into a quarrel, so he went to the meeting hall and had a fight with Tanchun.Tanchun became more and more angry, originally because he was not in charge of distributing monthly money, although some inappropriateness could be seen from the account books, he was only planning to focus on flowers and trees.When the time comes, I will quietly talk to Baochai about the problems on the account book, and let her talk about it, which will please my wife and get rid of some disadvantages.Now that I lost face with Aunt Zhao, and wanted to do some unusual things to prove that I was stronger than Sister Feng, I took Baochai's responsibility and cut off the ones on Jia Lan and Jia Huan. The silver used in the school year and the girl's hair powder have all been removed, and it is also because one of these uses overlaps, and the other is not used at all.

Fortunately, Sister Feng already knew the skills of these housekeepers and grandmas, so she sent Ping'er here, fearing that these girls would not be able to cope.Now that she doesn't care about the power of the housekeeper, she let Ping'er come and the girls can answer whatever they order without refuting.Ping'er is the face of Sister Feng, if she also keeps a low profile to these girls, these servants are used to watching the dishes, and will be more obedient.Unexpectedly, when Ping'er came, he saw Aunt Zhao's troubles and Tanchun's power.She is a smart person. While serving Tanchun like a little girl, she praises Tanchun as a bystander. Sister Feng has a lot of things to do on weekdays, so there must be some things that cannot be taken care of. If the third girl can add some things that should be added or subtracted one by one Minus, one is to live up to his wife, and the other is to live up to the friendship between the two of them on weekdays.What Tanchun said turned into a smile. First, if Tanchun changed some of Sister Feng's rules, it would be Sister Feng's fault. Second, he said that Tanchun had surpassed Baochai's authority. Because of Tanchun's filial piety, even if Mrs. Wang asked, she would not blame Tanchun.

Baochai was overtaken by Tanchun because of her guilty conscience at the beginning, and Tanchun's momentum grew longer later, so it was naturally difficult to refute, not to mention that she had reason and evidence, so she could only nod her head, but she regretted that she must have offended the housekeepers.

This time, Tanchun let the servants see how powerful she is, and the next day she struck while the iron was hot, and brought forward her ideas on flowers and trees.Because this is not because of those inappropriate monthly rules that exist due to personnel relations in the mansion, so I also need to ask my sisters to ask what is inappropriate.

It turned out that Tanchun only knew that the flowers and trees in the yard could be sold for money when he was eating wine at Nanny Lai's house. It is not a serious way to waste it casually, so he planned to pick out a few who are honest and know about the garden. The old mother, let them clean up.One is to renew the flowers and trees, the other is to be filial, the third is to make up for the mothers, and the fourth is to save the cleaning of places that people don't often visit.When Baochai heard it, she felt that there was something hidden, and she could make up for those housekeepers who offended yesterday, so she naturally agreed. The other sisters also felt that Tanchun's idea was good because of the short time of housekeepers, so they nodded in agreement.Only Daiyu knew that this was easier said than done because she had been in charge of the house, and it was easy to get dirty, but it was not easy to discourage Tanchun's enthusiasm, so she didn't say much.Ping'er, who was also by the side, also knew it was wrong, otherwise Sister Feng, who can't wait for the silver to be hung on the iron pot, would not do it, so she just called Tanchun to come out.

Tanchun then circled the names on the list of mothers-in-law who are good at gardening, because she knew that she had slapped Baochai in the face yesterday, so she wanted to make up for it.The most precious spices and herbs were to be distributed to Baochai's personal maid, Yinger's mother, but Baochai refused.It turned out that Baochai thought this was too obvious. After thinking about it in his mind, he recommended Lao Ye's mother from Yihongyuan. It's actually okay to ask Ying'er's mother about it.Tanchun and Heping'er laughed secretly, Ying'er's mother and Mingyan's mother are so close, isn't it because the ulterior motives are not drinking, and to please Old Ye's mother is not the same as to please Mingyan, Yihongyuan and Baoyu Are you afraid that Baochai will not know if there is any trouble?But still agreed, and circled the rest of the people.

After a while when talking about returning to the account, Baochai persuaded me to save a lot of food in the mansion, such as brooms, dusters, dusters, and food for birds, deer, and rabbits. For myself, everyone who got an errand is taking out some supplements for those who have no errands, and everyone is naturally willing to get the benefits.Although Tanchun felt that something was wrong, he couldn't see it for a while.

But Daiyu couldn't bear it anymore. Although Tanchun's idea was good, there were some inappropriate things. If Baochai's words were followed, many troubles would be caused, and this was the beginning of Tanchun.I had no choice but to stand up and said: "Sister Bao's words are inappropriate. Things like this pinch of dust are not saved by the little maids without these mothers. The method of open source that the third girl came up with, unexpectedly It’s all for the benefit of the servants. Even if it’s a supplement for those who don’t have a job, it’s okay for a short time, but I don’t know how many things will happen when I watch others eat meat for a long time. If the old mother takes care of the things in the house, it doesn’t matter if the maids pick some. If it’s their own things, the meat from the flies’ legs must be kept. Those of us around us who have not learned a lot about picking flowers and dividing willows from Baoyu, I don’t know how many jokes will be made because of this little money. The money is small, so it’s not appropriate if something happens, and it’s better to return it to the garden. At that time, those who work hard will be divided into one, two, and three, and each person will be rewarded. Two silver coins. Even if you don’t have the skill of planting flowers and plants, you will be rewarded if you do things faithfully, so I’m afraid they won’t do well.”

Tanchun and the other sisters suddenly realized that they should still follow what Daiyu said.Those old mothers were dejected when they heard what Daiyu said at the beginning, thinking that the money would not reach their own hands, but now they heard that they can get money by doing their duty, not to mention that the first-class money is more than their monthly bills a year, He also thought about taking good care of those flowers and plants with his own ability, but he was afraid that he would not be able to wait, so he said that he must do a good job.Others originally hated that they didn't know how to make flowers and plants, but now they work hard and maybe they can get rewards, even if they are not first class, second or third class is fine, so they are also eager to try, and they all wish to become two in the future. Personally, so that the master can see his goodness.When the sisters met, although they all admired Tanchun, they secretly admired Daiyu in their hearts, and Baochai still didn't please everyone, but fortunately, it was enough to please Yihongyuan.
