The struggle of the Nanny of the Red Chamber

As soon as Jia Mushi's words were mentioned.Really shocked the son and daughter-in-law.But here, Mrs. Zhang was already prepared.

She is not a housekeeper for nothing.Ever since Mother Jia asked her confidants to clean up the private house and check the assets of the mansion, Mrs. Zhang thought that her mother-in-law did this either for the purpose of dividing the family and property, or for the sake of housekeeping.

Looking at it today, it turned out to be the former.

Speaking of that day, the reason why Mrs. Zhang proposed to wait for Jia Hu to get married in front of so many people, and handed over the management of the mansion to her daughter-in-law, was not aimless.

Is Mrs. Zhang a stingy person?She can suffer, but her children cannot.So she looks generous and kind, but only she knows what's going on inside.

Mrs. Zhang lowered her eyebrows and pursed her lower lip lightly.Before dinner today, she even talked to Jia She about how to distribute the property if the family is separated in the future.

Didn't expect it to come in handy so soon.Is it really up to people to make things happen?

He looked at the people standing in front of him after listening to his words.Although the boss has a rough temper.But I couldn't stand it and married a good wife.Mrs. Zhang, whether it is human relations or a housekeeper.They are all first-class talents.

As for the second son's family, let's not talk about the pedantry of the second son for the time being.Just talking about the stupidity of the second daughter-in-law makes people very depressed, and when they get married, they look very clever.How come the longer and the woodier it is.

It is said that anyone who has been compared and suppressed for more than ten years will not be the same as before.Shi's request was too embarrassing.And these, vaguely, Shi Zai is also somewhat clear.

Ugh!

From Shi's point of view, it seems that the eldest family is good now, and it is also good for the brothers.But what if she is a hundred years later.People are fickle.Shi thought that if one failed, Zhang would have bad intentions. After she left, the Erfang family might not even have any property left.

If these things hadn't been settled before she was alive, who knows what ratio the two families will divide after her death.

Therefore, after much deliberation, Mrs. Shi thought that it was normal for the family to have a large branch and the family to be separated.During her lifetime, the two families lived in the same mansion.After a hundred years of her life, the second room will leave the mansion again.

The property of the entire Rongguo Mansion, except for this mansion and the indivisible ancestral property, was divided into ten shares according to the value.Originally, according to the rules, the eldest son of Xijue, who is also the legitimate son, can get [-]% of the family property other than the ancestral property, while the second wife, even though he is the legitimate son, can only get [-]%.

Shi asked Zhang and Jia Amnesty what their opinions were.Mrs. Zhang and Jia She looked at each other, and then mentioned that they should be divided in a ratio of six or four.Originally, Shi Shi also had the same intention, but she didn't want any further estrangement between the two sons.Therefore, it was not brought up.Just asking for the big room's opinion.

Shi Shi thought, if the eldest house still needs seventy-three points, then her private house will subsidize the second child more in the future.But Mrs. Zhang is a very transparent person. In the previous conversation with Jia Amnesty, he mentioned six or four points.

Of course, Mrs. Zhang is not so kind.The six or four points are nothing more than a good-looking appearance, and it's nothing more than fooling Jia She, who doesn't care about the family.Knowing what is valuable and what is not, she dares to say number two, and no one in this mansion dares to say number one.

Another one is because of the difference in upbringing.Estimates of the value of things will also be different.She regards it as a treasure, but the Wang family of the second room may not regard it as a good thing.vice versa.

Therefore, in Zhang's psychology, the division of family property, many chances, can become inevitable.

"...The second brother is not good at management, and the second brother and sister are honest, why don't you give them [-]% more, it's also the brotherhood." When Mrs. Zhang said this, Jia Amnesty really didn't expect that his daughter-in-law would be so generous.

But Jia Amnesty, who was not short of money, agreed as soon as he heard it.He really didn't pay attention to the 80.00% of the family property.You must know that [-]% of the grandmother's private house was left to him.The rest was given to my father.

Jia Amnesty can be said to be the richest owner of the entire Jia Mansion.After all, no matter how rich Shi Shi is, she has hardly managed the family for a few years.But Mrs. Xian is different. Not only has she managed the house for decades, but she has also acquired many good things from Mrs. Xian during the Southern and Northern Wars.

In this way, Dafang became more magnanimous, and Shi Shi felt even more satisfied.Thinking of her two sons.After a hundred years in the future, all the private houses will be divided equally.As for the youngest daughter, what should be given was given when she got married.Not only did I give it back then, but I also gave her all the good things I got during New Year's Eve.After a hundred years, there will be no share for her.

His mother was kind and his elder brother was generous. Jia Zheng was very moved, and Wang was secretly relieved.

In just two days, Mrs. Zhang sorted out ten lists of the family's property, all of which seemed to be of equal value.But Mrs. Zhang knows which ones are more valuable and which ones are less expensive.

The Wang family was born in a noble family, but the background is a bit weak after all.It is not clear about some things that only scholars know the real value.And in this family, apart from the Zhang family, only Jia She, who likes antiques, knows about it, but Jia She, who is so rough, doesn't care how his wife arranges the division of the family.

After all, from the time he talked with his wife about how to divide the family, in Jia She's heart, he was the one who suffered.How could I have thought that my daughter-in-law would build plank roads openly, but hide old warehouses secretly.

Witnessed by several elders in the clan and the head of the Ning Mansion, Mrs. Zhang asked Mrs. Wang to choose first.Mrs. Wang picked three, the first two were within Mrs. Zhang's expectations, but Mrs. Wang picked one that was not expected by Mrs. Zhang for the last one.This made Mrs. Zhang a little distressed and a little puzzled.

The two paintings and calligraphy in it are authentic works from the previous dynasty.

As for the inside story, Mrs. Zhang may never have thought of it in her life.This is a favor that Wang deliberately sold to Dafang after he felt that he had taken advantage of it.

For decades, Mr. Zhang has always set up a "generous and kind" image for people, so people can't doubt him.

But no matter what, Zhang got the situation she wanted.After dividing the accounts, Mrs. Zhang immediately asked people to sort out the properties selected by Mrs. Wang and carry them to Lixiangyuan.

From now on, the warehouse in the mansion will only contain the property of the Dafang family.Even the yard next to the storehouse, Mrs. Zhang has already made up her mind to let her second son live there after he gets married.

As for the residence of the youngest son after marriage, Mrs. Zhang glanced west at Rongqing Hall.

The mother-in-law's body is still so healthy, it is estimated that her youngest son will not be able to move to Lixiangyuan when he gets married.

Back to the present, the separation of the Rongguo Mansion was completed in only three to five days in the gentle wind and drizzle.

Because of this, the big house and two houses of Rongguo Mansion divided the family property in a harmonious and peaceful atmosphere, but outsiders didn't know it.

After all, if ordinary people divide the family property or something, even if they don't make a scene known to everyone, they will sing with red faces and white faces one after another, and then it's over.Who would have thought that in this huge Rongguo Mansion, the families would be divided so quietly.

However, both Zhang and Shi told Jia Min in their daily correspondence.And when Jia Min got to know the news of her natal family, she adjusted the list of gifts that should be given to each room when they were going to go to the ceremony that year.

There was no separation of family and property before.She likes the elder sister-in-law, but not the second sister-in-law.Respect the elder brother, and get close to the second brother.So the ceremony is all done in one pot.But it will be different in the future, seniors and young are orderly, and the primary and secondary must be clearly defined so as not to lose etiquette and mess up the sense of propriety.

Jia Min took a time when Lin Ruhai was not busy to tell him about the division of property between the two houses of her natal family.After hearing this, Lin Zhonghai just smiled.But the heart is full of bitterness.

Thinking of his Lin family, the family is big and the business is great, but the children are weak.Counting three or five generations, there is not even a brother who divides the family property.Sometimes, Lin Ruhai would rather have a few brothers in the family, even if they are only concubine brothers, sisters are fine.Even if the family property will be divided, it will not mean that there is not even a close relative within the five servers.

Even if at that time, because of these yellow and white things, there will be a lot of trouble, but the blood will increase.

Alas, since ancient times, the fate of children cannot be forced.

After the family was separated, Jia Zheng's first house paid all the daily expenses by itself, but for the daily expenses of Jia Zhu and the eldest girl Jia Yuanchun, Mrs. Zhang, in front of Mrs. Shi, proposed that their house should pay for it.

"Siblings and sisters don't need to feel embarrassed. Are you their mother? Am I not my aunt? Besides, two children can spend a lot of money. Don't be so outspoken. Speaking of which, if it weren't for younger siblings Persevere, I don't even want you to pay for the daily expenses of your Lixiangyuan. I can't write two Jia characters in one stroke. Why should my brothers be so clear."

Shi Shi has always known Zhang's generosity and kindness.Especially in money, he has always been generous.And Mrs. Wang knew she was stupid, so she just thanked her and didn't mention anything else.

Speaking of the official division of property, it was before Jia Hu got married. When Zhang looked at the dowry list, she suddenly remembered that there were more and more children in the family, and they were getting bigger.There must be a stipulation for the wedding celebration.However, the children of the eldest family and the children of the second family who did not inherit the title cannot be treated in the same way.

You know, in the eyes of the world, even Jia Lian, the second son, has more status than Jia Zhu, the eldest son.Otherwise, the Wang family would not think that Jia Lian was more suitable for Wang Xifeng than Jia Zhu.

Fortunately, the family is now separated, and the dowry will be the business of each house in the future.

Zhang's butler was very strict, and Tang Chao didn't hear about it until many days later.And the reason why I heard about it was because of the fact that Rikain started his own business.

It turned out that since the birth was divided, Wang felt a little relieved.I used to think that after my father-in-law left, the family would live in my uncle's house.Although it is the same now, but it is self-sufficient. After the father left, he lived in the elder brother's house to the point where he was just visiting relatives.Wang's heart is happy.

This pleasure has been satisfied from all aspects.

Let's talk about it before.Both the Rongqing Hall where the Shi family lives and the Rongxi Hall where the Dafang is located have small kitchens.As for the big kitchen, except for a few brothers who own their own yards, only Lixiangyuan and the servants of the mansion use it.

Later, Mrs. Zhang felt sorry for her son, and purposely built another row of houses in those four courtyards to serve as kitchens for the younger brothers. Only Lixiangyuan used the big kitchen with the servants of the mansion.

Now that the family is separated, Wang has a reason.Since then, he started his own business in Rikain.Mrs. Zhang persuasively said a few words, only said that if there is anything you don't want, or if you want to eat, just go to the big kitchen to get it, and put the matter aside.

However, since Erfang started his own business, the Zhang family has ceased to be a part of Jia Zheng's family in the big kitchen.So it looks like this is really just a polite remark.

After Mrs. Wang found out about it, she sent people to expand the small kitchen in Lixiangyuan. Since then, even the servants who waited on the second room no longer went to the big kitchen to eat.

Mrs. Tang naturally ate and ate at the Lixiangyuan along with the second bedroom.Mrs. Tang was not happy about this point.You must know that what women of this age like most is to gossip.Eating in the big kitchen, you can touch and know more than just in the small kitchen in Rikain.

But in this way, when she was eating at noon, Mrs. Tang wanted to take care of Li Goudan, but she couldn't.Fortunately, no one deliberately bullied Li Goudan these years.

It's not just that Li Goudan has made a lot of progress over the years.Even in the face of Li Shude, no one would treat Li Goudan slowly.

Looking at it this way, the separation of the two houses really has no effect on the Tang Dynasty family.Back then, Tang Chao fantasized about whether she would be in a dilemma if there was a quarrel between the two families.

It seems that the saying "a man without long-term considerations must have near-term worries" is not entirely true.If one fails, it is not foresight, but unfounded worry.

Different from the pure watching of operas in the Tang Dynasty, the atmosphere here is a bit gloomy for the eldest girl.Yuanchun is good at piano. From the age of four or five, Mrs. Zhang focused on teaching Yuanchun's various Shuyuan courses. Mrs. Wang didn't take it seriously. The Wang family taught their daughters, but there were not so many fancy ones.It's a pity that after Zhang's plan to intervene in Yuanchun's affairs, Yuanchun's affairs are not just Wang's affairs.

What's more, Shi Shi also agrees with Zhang Shi, otherwise there would be no finished product like Jia Min.Mrs. Zhang was very kind to Yuan Chun. When Yuan Chun didn't remember anything, she once thought Mrs. Zhang was her real mother.

In Yuan Chun's heart, the Shi family is the most kind, the Wang family is the closest, and the Zhang family is the most serious.As he got older, Yuan Chun took many things into consideration.How come she doesn't know how Mrs. Zhang taught her with all her heart.

In addition to these relatives, Tang Chao was also placed in Yuan Chun's heart.Yuan Chun didn't know why, but he always had a very kind feeling towards Tang Chao, wanting to get close to him.Therefore, whenever the Tang Dynasty entered the mansion to pay his respects, Yuan Chun would come over to speak as soon as he heard it.Yuan Chun didn't understand, but Tang Chao understood that Yuan Chun's closeness to him was probably due to the only one breastfeeding behavior.

Zhang's arrangement fully considered Shi's psychology.Shi's mentality was benefited, and he recognized Zhang's housekeeping ability even more.

It's just that the family separation this time has left traces in the heart of Yuan Chun, who is already sensible.

It turned out that she was just the daughter of a fifth grade official.It turns out that many of the clothes and jewelry given to her by the aunts are not suitable for her to wear.

It turns out that even if they are the daughters of the official family, the rank of the father and brother also determines the clothing and accessories of the female family members in the family.

It turned out that she was just a guest living in the Rongguo Mansion.

It turned out that she was in the same situation as Sister Feng, the eldest sister of the Wang family.And luckier than her is that her parents are still alive.

For a while, even though she was living in her grandmother's yard, the eldest girl Yuan Chun became a little cautious.

Zhang was the first to discover the problem.She adjusted, the results of many years of teaching, can't fly away when it's about to be cooked.

"Yuan'er, tell auntie, what's the matter? Is the servant disobedient, or some girl is being naughty? Or if there is anything you want to eat or play, tell auntie, you know, auntie takes You are a daughter."

Yuan Chun's little thoughtfulness, what else can he do, is invisible in front of Zhang who has become a master.

Yuan Chun has been close to Mrs. Zhang since she was a child, and Mrs. Zhang deliberately wins over her.The strangeness that had just arisen was lost again by Zhang's few words.

And throughout his life, Yuan Chun didn't know that his eldest aunt, who loved him so much from beginning to end, just regarded her as a tool for marriage.

No, maybe knew it, just didn't show it.It must be used because it is valuable.All people are born equal, but what determines inequality is firstly the blood of parents, and secondly the value created by oneself.Before you can create self-worth, you need a smooth road.

So life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills.

This applies to everyone.
