The daily life of Mrs. Xing of the Red Chamber

Because Baochai married into the Rongguo Mansion, Sister Feng felt nervous.After all, Baochai is Mrs. Wang's own daughter-in-law, and it goes without saying that the son is more important than the niece.There has never been a clearer time for Sister Feng than now.

Today, Mrs. Wang is basically in charge of the entire mansion.The old lady is sick in bed, so long as the eldest lady does not infringe on her own interests, she will ignore everything.Stay in your own room with the kids.Sister Feng is alone and helpless. In order to prevent Mrs. Wang from handing over the power of the official family to Baochai, she can only work hard to handle the affairs of the house, and not let Mrs. Wang find excuses or handles.

However, the money in the mansion really couldn't hold on.In the first half of the year, there was a lot of extravagance and waste, and the eunuchs in the palace would come to beg for money from time to time, and Mrs. Wang pushed her to her side every time.There is really nothing to spend in public.

As for Mrs. Wang's repeated hints that she would give us usury, Sister Feng didn't dare.It's not that Sister Feng is too cowardly, it's that the old man is too powerful in combat, he doesn't care about his face at all, he scolds and scolds in front of his master's servants, to save her face.Ask Sister Feng to say that in an ordinary family, how can a father-in-law catch his daughter-in-law and scold him vigorously?No, only their family, no other family.

Before, the old man said that if he makes a mistake next time, no matter who begs for mercy, it will not work.Send a letter of divorce directly to Wang's house, and go back with people and things.The father-in-law at home is a rascal.What can Sister Feng do?Sister Feng dare not gamble with her future.I had to grit my teeth and admit it for the time being, not daring to make any fuss.Because Sister Feng refused to take over, it made Mrs. Wang very angry.I had to grit my teeth and continue.

It's just that it's not a problem that the government's expenditure has been unable to run.Sister Feng thought about reducing the expenses in the mansion.The first and biggest item is the reduction of servants.

After all, more people cost more.Originally, there were not many masters in the mansion, and there was no need for so many people at all. With so many servants, it added a lot of right and wrong.Sister Feng couldn't stand it for a long time, but it was because Jia's mother liked luxury that she stayed still.Now, it is just right to start from here.Two days earlier, the rumors were released in the mansion to let them be mentally prepared.

As early as this year when Zhen's house was ransacked, Xing Shuang felt a little uneasy.Now that Xue's family has also raided the house, Xing Shuang feels even more, I am afraid that the rain is about to come.Therefore, Xing Shuang officially began to prepare secretly.After all, Xing Shuang didn't know what the outcome of the Rongguo Mansion would be.My own arrival is bound to have an impact, but Xing Shuang is not sure how much this will affect.Everything, Xing Shuang made the worst plan.

First of all, it is Dafang's servants.Although there are many powerful people in the Rongguo Mansion, there are some loyal, honest and available people in Dafang's side after some screening, and Xing Shuang doesn't want to implicate these innocent people.Taking advantage of this personnel cutting, he released more than half of the servants in his room.Those who stay are those who have a deep foundation in the mansion and are unwilling to leave or have a pair of snobbish eyes. If such people are not left, who will stay?

Well, it was done to the satisfaction of all parties.Mrs. Wang also agreed with the layoffs in the mansion, and seeing that Xing Shuang took the initiative to reduce the number of people at Dafang's side, she felt that this was Xing Shuang's surrender to herself.Knowing who has a higher status in this mansion now, he took the initiative to retreat.

Mrs. Wang is very satisfied with Xing Shuang's "knowledge of current affairs", but she is also willing to give Xing Shuang some face.This is reflected in the fact that when the two met at Jia Mu's place, Mrs. Wang seldom took the initiative to provoke her, she lost a lot of verbal wit, and she became much quieter.

Not only Mrs. Wang is happy, but Sister Feng is also happy.Originally, downsizing was an offending job.May I ask, Rongguo Mansion treats the servants so well, which servant is willing to leave?What's more, the people around any master in the mansion can't be easily moved.

First of all, the people around Jia Mu must not be moved. Who told them to be the ancestors of the house?Going down, it's Baoyu. Originally, the first person who should be reduced in terms of the number of people is the person who waits on Baoyu. As soon as he enters his yard, the yard is full of flowers and willows, and it is very lively.

But who made him the heart and soul of the old lady?With a mother like Mrs. Wang watching, Sister Feng would not dare to play dead and touch her.If he doesn't downsize his staff, no one will be able to move him!Just wait for him to take the initiative to reduce people, will it?

Who in Manfu doesn't know that Baoyu is the most sympathetic

The master of Xiyu, those delicate little girls like flower bones are not his sisters and sisters, such a young master who loves and cherishes flowers, wishes to ask all the delicate and lovely girls in the world to live in the garden with him!To count on his own conscience to find out is tantamount to daydreaming.Therefore, there is no need to count on Baoyu here.

Going down, she would not dare to touch Mrs. Wang, her aunt who speaks like a snake.Sister Feng is now flattering and afraid of Mrs. Wang.Mrs. Wang's various methods of dealing with servants sometimes really make her shudder.Therefore, after Mrs. Wang symbolically lost two insignificant wives, Sister Feng passed away with her eyes closed.

At this embarrassing moment, Xing Shuang was able to take the initiative to reduce the number of Dafang's servants, and the number of people reduced was quite large. This measure greatly relieved the pressure on Sister Feng.The depression caused by the unsatisfactory work in the past few days has also subsided a lot.

Therefore, Sister Feng felt a little grateful to Xing Shuang in her heart.That night, he brought two sets of red gold haircuts to Mrs. Xing, saying that they were filial piety from her daughter-in-law.Xing Shuang reached out to take it, good guy, the weight is not clear, and he looked at it with golden eyes.This is really straightforward!

Well, Sister Feng didn't refuse when she gave it to Xing Shuang, she just asked Ruyi to take it.Let Ruyi put it in a box that she just packed out recently.This cage is placed in Xing Shuang's room every day. If Ruyi thinks it takes up space, she wants to move it out, even if she doesn't put it in the warehouse, she can find another room to put it in another room, but Xing Shuang doesn't want to move it.

Ordinarily, the things in the box are not precious, they are all pure gold and fine silver jewelry.None of them are exquisite or precious, but they all have one characteristic, that is, they have a lot of weight.Easy to exchange.There are also some properties that my wife went to Jinling to add a few years ago, a few farms and shops.Ruyi also couldn't understand why Xing Shuang was so precious.

Because of Xing Shuang's initiative, Sister Feng saved a lot of trouble.Next, Sister Feng went to the courtyard again and found sisters Yingchun, Tanchun and Xichun, as well as sister-in-law Li Wan.The reason why they came here is well understood by several people.There's no need for Sister Feng to waste any more words, except for the personal waiters, the rest of the servants are arranged by Sister Feng.

On the contrary, Li Wan's widowed aunt took the opportunity to leave Jia's mansion with her two daughters, Li Wen and Li Qi, and returned to the rented house.Although the quality of life is not as good as Rongguo Mansion, it is at ease after all.The garden was getting more and more lonely now.

Baoyu's side is just the opposite.When Baochai entered the mansion, even if Mrs. Wang didn't want to see her again, Baochai would indeed become Baoyu's daughter-in-law.In addition, Baochai can put down her body and please her. Baoyu comes to report and discuss with Mrs. Wang about anything.Gradually, Madam Wang became less dissatisfied.The most important thing is that Baoyu's room really needs a virtuous person like Baochai to take care of it, and gradually the affairs of Baoyu's room are handed over to Baochai.

Jia Baoyu didn't dislike having such a person by his side.Not only is it not disgusting, but it is also very happy.In the past, he "coveted" Sister Bao's snow-white arm, but unfortunately he couldn't touch it.Now the beautiful, gentle, charming and coquettish elder sister Bao has become his daughter-in-law, and has been with him for the rest of his life.Baoyu is too beautiful.There is no obstacle in my heart at all.

With Baoyu in hand, Baochai's life in Rongguo Mansion gradually became easier again.Everyone praised Second Grandma Bao as being knowledgeable, sensible, gentle and virtuous, and she was the most rare kind person. The "beautiful person and kind-hearted" Second Grandma Bao is not partial, and she does not give her the slightest preferential treatment because of her relationship with Xiren in the past.Treat the girls in Baoyu's room equally.All the girls in Baoyu's room were fighting openly and secretly, and there was no end to it.

Especially Xiren and Sheyue, who would not let anyone else.They are all fighting for the position of aunt promised by Baochai!It's just that Baochai is more afraid of attackers. After all, Baochai is Baoyu's first girl to take over the house, and she has been with Baoyu for so many years, so her affection is naturally extraordinary.Therefore, Baochai has been thinking of ways to drive the attacker out.It's just that she has just entered the mansion, so she shouldn't be in a hurry to make it too conspicuous, just wait for the opportunity first.

In Rongguo Mansion, everyone is immersed in their own world, planning and calculating, but they don't know that the situation outside is changing suddenly, and an inevitable disaster is gradually approaching.

Originally thought that the Xue family ransacked the house because they offended Concubine Wu Gui.thus,

The Xue family's ransacking did not arouse the Jia family's sense of crisis at all.However, when the news came that the historian's home had been ransacked, Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang in Jia's mansion began to panic.The historian is not only Jia's mother's natal family, but also the old relative of the Jia family. The historian's house has been ransacked. How can the Jia family not be panicked?

The two masters of the historian were also sent to prison.The Shijia immediately became a mess, without the men standing in front of them, the women had no choice but to stand up.Try to find out the news and save people.Therefore, the women of the historian family panicked and came to seek help from Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang. In the final analysis, they wanted Yuan Chun in the palace to intercede.

Yuan Chun will give birth in another month, as long as she can intercede for the historian, the emperor will definitely give her face.It's a pity, how could Mrs. Wang use such a thing to bother Yuan Chun who is about to give birth?What's more, now that the historian's home has been confiscated and imprisoned, what if he has been in close contact with the historian at this time and the emperor is angry?

Therefore, Mrs. Wang refused very coldly.And "invited" the historian's two former wives out.Sure enough, the friendship between the nobles is more based on the connection of interests, so how much real friendship is there?

Although there was no one to help, the result of the historian's family was not so miserable, at least not as miserable as the Xue's family, and no one died.It's just that he was stripped of his title and his family property was confiscated.

Because historians have always been frugal, they paid back part of the money owed by the imperial court. The emperor made an excuse and didn't do anything cruel, but he was demoted to a commoner.The two masters of the historian were sent to prison, and they were released after three years, which is considered a blessing in misfortune.The crime is not as good as a married daughter, Xiangyun and several cousins ​​have not been greatly affected in her husband's house.It's just listening to my mother-in-law's words.Life is going on.

However, the historian's confiscation of the house seemed to be a starting point, and the Rongguo Mansion did not receive any good news in the following days.The Rongguo Mansion, which has been persevering for a hundred years, is in turmoil.

First, Jia Zheng's tenure as an official was not smooth, and first he was made things difficult by the local gentry and people. He managed to gain a foothold temporarily, but accidents happened frequently, and he was ginsenged before he had time to clean up.As a result, Jia Zheng's short foreign career ended early and he was already on his way back.

Poor Jia Baoyu took advantage of Jia Zheng's departure to have a good time, and when he heard the news of his father's return, he was immediately unhappy.He had no choice but to let Baochai arrange his own review plan, and honestly immerse himself in the ocean of books.How can one be "sorrowful"?

The house leak happened to be raining all night, Mrs. Wang had just received a letter from the Wang family, saying that something had happened to Wang Ziteng while in office, and soon there was another bad news from the palace, this time it was the Jia family's lord. collapsed...
