The Rebirth of the Red Chamber Jia Min

The next day Jia Min got up early, washed and dressed up, but didn't wear a more solemn color on purpose, and went to see Mrs. Zhang.

"Sister is here." Zhang's voice floated out from the room, she stood up slowly, not so neatly compared to usual.

"Sister-in-law, sit down quickly. If you get tired, big brother should ask me to settle the score." Jia Min hurriedly walked a few steps and greeted her. There was a chair next to Mrs. Zhang, which was for Jia Min. Jia Min Helping Mrs. Zhang to sit down, she sat beside her.Looking at the people standing below, there are 20 people, big and small, and they are all prominent figures in the mansion.

These wives also have some roots, so they naturally know that the wife asked the girl to learn from the wife to be a housekeeper. For the sake of the wife, they will not make things difficult for Jia Min, but they really prohibit Jia Min's words, this is Another question.

One by one, they started to report things. In Jia Min’s opinion, they were all trivial matters. What was the food in the kitchen today, and what was the money for the powder in the mansion this month...Jia Min was about to fall asleep after hearing this, but she also Understand that small things in this huge mansion will slowly become big things.For example, the daily dishes can tell the status of a master, and of course, you can also tell how much money the woman in charge has been greedy for.

Mrs. Zhang listened, and answered one by one. Jia Min saw that Mrs. Zhang was obviously very tired. This housekeeper is really complicated.

After coming for about an hour, all the women got the instructions and left one after another. Only Jia Min, Zhang Shi, Hongmei and Yihong were left in the house.

"Sister-in-law, drink some water." Jia Min poured the water herself, and passed it to Mrs. Zhang after trying the hot and cold. Seeing that Mrs. Zhang used only ordinary porcelain cups, clean white porcelain, it seemed that she believed that she wrote the cup. Give her something, and that's fine.

Mrs. Zhang drank some water and rested for a while, before she came to her senses, "Your sister is scared?"

"Yes, I didn't expect the housekeeper to be so complicated." Jia Min sighed, "It's hard for my sister-in-law to manage the house in an orderly manner." The Zhang family was not born in one of the four major families. It is a recent official family, not as prosperous as Jia Shiwang Xue, and Zhang is a thoughtful person who has controlled the sundries in the mansion in such a short period of time.

"My sister will also need it in the future."

"Hey, it would be good if there is only one husband in the future, and no in-laws need to serve." Jia Min blushed as she spoke, how could she say such words, Hongmei pretended not to hear, and Yihong looked at her outside the window.

But Mrs. Zhang still laughed, "My sister has grown up."

"Sister-in-law said, I'm not ready yet." Jia Min covered her face with a handkerchief and leaned over. Mrs. Zhang patted her on the back and smiled happily, "Okay, sister, don't hold back. Such thoughts In fact, it’s not bad, at least you don’t have to face such a complicated situation.” Zhang’s smile disappeared in an instant, and only she knew the sadness after marrying into the Jia’s mansion. I couldn't stand it anymore.

Jia Min really didn't mean to say that after she married Lin Ruhai, she really didn't have so many complicated relationships. It's just that she was taken lightly, and she was harmed by her maid and nanny.It seems that people still have a sense of crisis, so it is better to be cautious.

The sister-in-law and the sister-in-law talked and laughed for a while, and Mrs. Zhang was obviously a little tired, "Sister-in-law, you should go back and rest. Otherwise, the eldest brother will definitely scold me. My little nephew will definitely say that I am an aunt in the future. of."

"It's a poor mouth. There are some account books here, they are all from the Zhuangzi down below. You can look for yourself. If you don't understand, you can ask Yihong. Yihong will follow you these few days..."

"Yihong wants to take care of my sister-in-law, how can I bother her? If I don't understand anything, I can go to your sister-in-law to find Yihong. She can help me when she is free." Jia Min quickly interrupted Zhang's words, Yihong She is Zhang's confidant, staying by Zhang's side can also help her guard against people with different intentions. "Sister-in-law, you must be cautious. Yihong is your confidant, and I can rest assured if I stay by your side." Jia Min lowered her voice, almost whispering in Zhang's ear.

Mrs. Zhang frowned and nodded. She was pregnant with the eldest grandson of the big house. It stands to reason that even if the wife doesn't like her, she can't do anything about it. After all... Mrs. Zhang suddenly understood that the uncle is not the wife's own son after all, but only adopted. Now it is the eldest son who will definitely win the title, and now the wife likes the second master so much, if the eldest son doesn't... Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but shiver in fear of her own thoughts.

"Sister-in-law is good enough to understand." Jia Min held Zhang's hand slightly, "Sister-in-law said that this house is not clean. Besides, the second sister-in-law who has never been married is the eldest daughter. The situation of the Wang family is worse than that of the Jia family. It's more complicated, she is helping Mrs. Wang to keep the house in order, suppressing concubines and servants to suppress younger brothers and younger sisters..."

"I understand my sister's intentions." Mrs. Zhang interrupted Jia Min's words.

Jia Min nodded, and didn't go on. In the big family, the dispute between several families is always fierce. Here, the second wife has to pass through the door, but the housekeeper's first wife is pregnant, so don't work too hard. If something goes wrong, Mrs. Wang must hate Mrs. Zhang for the rest of her life.If there is no problem with the marriage, but Mrs. Zhang is exhausted and the fetus is affected, then Mrs. Zhang must hate Mrs. Wang for the rest of her life.No matter what the situation is, the two families will be like fire and water. In the end, even if one's own mother is married, the winning party must be the one who has taken refuge in her, and the power will definitely return to her hands.

If it hadn't been for Jia Daishan's intervention back then, she wasn't ready to delegate power to Mrs. Zhang. She treated Mrs. Zhang pretty well, but this delegating power completely lost the last bit of goodwill.Power!Jia Min suddenly figured out a lot of problems. The two words cut off how many family ties.

"Sister, you have to take a closer look at this account book." Mrs. Zhang specially instructed a few more words, and asked Yihong to help her back to her yard.

Jia Min frowned, it seems that there is something tricky in this ledger, maybe it can make her stand up?Immediately let Hongmei return to her yard with the ledger.

After returning to the house and asking Hongmei to pour tea, Jia Min threw herself into the arms of the account book and got busy. Fortunately, she was forced to learn abacus by her grandfather in modern times, otherwise it would be really difficult to calculate.Hongmei was stunned when she saw Jia Min's plan.When did the girl learn this?

After typing out a random book, Jia Min realized that there was nothing wrong with the number, and was a little dazed for a while, "I'm really stupid." Jia Min couldn't help scolding himself.

"How stupid is the girl, that abacus is so good." Hongmei admired, "The girl is tired, it's been half an hour and she wants to take a rest? It's good to go for a walk."

"It's okay." Jia Min shook his head, but turned over the account book just finished.

Hongmei didn't say anything, just changed Jia Min to a new tea, and stood aside. Jia Min looked at the ledgers carefully, and always realized that the problem was here. He picked up a pen and wrote down on the paper. For one entry, I put aside the account book in my hand and turned over other accounts. I gradually got a bottom line in my heart and a smile on my face.

But then Jia Min's heart sank again, "Hongmei, who is in charge of the five villages in the west?"

Hongmei frowned, "It's Madam Li's concubine, and she's related to Nanny Li." Hongmei didn't know why the girl asked these questions, but she just answered truthfully.

Hearing this, Jia Min's complexion became sour, and Hongmei naturally saw it, so she didn't dare to say anything.I'm afraid my sister-in-law has already discovered the problem with the account book, but since Mrs. Li is the wife's companion, she always has some scruples when she wants to do it, but push it to herself like this?After all, she is his wife's biological daughter, and the first thing the housekeeper does is to point the finger at his own mother's accompanying room. Things like this are always... Li Wei is enough, and there may be a gap between mother and daughter.Even if he had to turn his face sooner or later, it was not the present when he was fledgling.

Jia Min thought for a while, took the account book, and went to see Shi Shi with Hongmei.

"Min'er is here?" Seeing Jia Min coming in, Shi Shi was still as affectionate as ever, "Is it rewarding to see your sister-in-law's housekeeper today?"

"Sister-in-law is really capable." Jia Min replied, she glanced at the people in the room, and Shi Shi also saw that something was wrong with her, so she gave Jinxiu a look, and everyone in the room left.

"Min'er, what happened?" Shi's tone was a little anxious and displeased. Could it be that Zhang's embarrassing his own Min'er?Sure enough, he came from a small family, and he didn't have any courage.

Jia Min naturally guessed Shi Shi's thoughts, "Something happened indeed. Sister-in-law asked me to look at the account book first, to familiarize myself with the affairs inside and outside the mansion. This seems to be..."

Shi frowned, "Is there a problem? She is too careless." Shi pointed the finger at Zhang.

"It's not my sister-in-law's problem, mother, look..." Jia Min pointed out Zhuangzi's account book to Shi Shi, Shi Shi glanced at it, and his face changed slightly. This Mrs. Li is getting more and more careless in her work, but her courage is getting bigger and bigger. up. "The Zhuangzi in the west is in charge of the Li family's mother-in-law. She belongs to Nanny Li's family, and she is also a shrewd and capable person. She was too careless this time, and let the people under her make such a disclosure under her nose."

Jia Min's words can be regarded as a step down for Shi, "Fortunately, I found out, mother should hurry up and ask Mrs. Li to beat the people under her, and make up for the debt. Otherwise, it will be mother's face. If father finds out Well, that's not good."

Shi Shi took Jia Min's hand slightly, Jia Min was in pain, but he didn't dare to pull his hand out, "Min'er, did you discover this problem yourself?" Shi Shi's eyes were oppressive, if Jia Min hadn't Min is a reborn person, so she must be unable to compete with it. She looked at Shi Shi calmly, "Of course it is. It was also a coincidence that my daughter just grabbed this book and read it at random, and found the problem. The other daughters didn't have time to read it." look."

Shi Shi nodded, and began to tell Jia Min how to deal with this matter.Jia Min listened carefully, and there was indeed another idea in her mind that had taken shape.
