[Red House + Space] Falling Spring

Jia and Wang's family had already passed the Six Rites, and the official media went back and forth twice to bring Wang Xifeng's eight-character Geng post to Jia's family. First, it was placed on the ancestral tablet and arched for two days. was determined.

Although Mrs. Wang once organized a marriage, even if Jia Zhu's status in her heart is far higher than that of Jia Lian, in fact Jia Lian is the serious heir of the Rongguo Mansion, so his marriage is far more complicated than Jia Zhu's. What's more, it is the daughter of their Wang family who is married. Even if it is not for Jia Lian, for the face of the Wang family, Mrs. Wang dare not neglect, and Mrs. Xing is staring at her, so Mrs. Wang dare not be careless Careless, Mrs. Wang is so busy these days that her feet are not touching the ground, and she is a little bit powerless in housework.

Although the omissions in it have been checked and filled by the help of Zhou Rui's family beside her, but Zhou Rui's family has to follow up with the wedding, so they can't be busy at all.But Mrs. Wang couldn't find someone to share the burden. According to her status, Li Wan's daughter-in-law was very suitable, but Li Wan was a widow now, and her status could not be involved in such red things; Under consideration; as for Mrs. Xing, even if Mrs. Wang is exhausted, it is impossible to share the matter with her.

In fact, Mrs. Wang is a person who respects morality but not talent, and the level of housekeeping is average, and because when she took over the housekeeping, because she knew that the family would be divided in the future, the Rongguo Mansion would be inherited by the big house, and she was only acting as a temporary substitute, so In order to gain a good reputation, he just blindly treats him with generosity, and then uses his power as a housekeeper to seek personal gain for his own small family. It should be said that at least a large part of the Jia family's ethos was brought down when Mrs. Wang was the housekeeper.

For Jia Lian's marriage, she and Mrs. Wang, the housekeeper, were too busy. When something went wrong, she didn't review her own problems.After several generations of reproduction, Jia's family has formed a huge number of children.Even if the Jia family has four generations under the same roof, but because of the large number of servants, the number of masters will grow faster than those who are not servants. Therefore, only a small number of them can be picked up as errands in the mansion. The birth age gap or the master is not satisfied with the candidates, or the selected qualified candidates are not enough, and then buy people from outside, and the manpower brought in by the married mistresses, so that many children are idle at home.

Being idle at home means that there is no income, and as a child of the family, you can't go out to work on errands, so if you don't do anything else, even if you want to make a living, you have to find a way to go to the house to work as an errand.In order to be able to enter the mansion, these people have tried their best to drill into the mansion with their heads sharpened.Now that Jia Lian is getting married, it is unavoidable to pick someone into the mansion to serve the newcomer. Naturally, these people who are idle at home will not let this opportunity go. Therefore, as a person close to Mrs. Wang, Zhou Rui's family's home has been trampled by people who pull relationships and give gifts these days. threshold.

Zhou Rui's family was not greedy enough, they accidentally accepted too many gifts, and patted their chests on the people who came, but there were only a few places in the mansion, even if everyone was selected, it would not be enough.She was reluctant to ask her to return the gifts, not to mention that some gifts were for food and had already been eaten by her family, so it was impossible for him to make up for it at his own expense.What's more, if Zhou Rui's family wants to come, if such a little thing is not done, won't people look down on her, damage her reputation as the No. In the future, when people entrust her with work, they will inevitably have doubts in their hearts, and they may even follow other people's paths. At that time, she will lose a lot of money.It's just that how to make Mrs. Wang agree to choose more people to enter the mansion, Zhou Rui's family has no idea for the time being.

Just when Zhou Rui's family was at their wit's end, she heard Mrs. Wang's complaint, so she had an idea, and she whispered in Mrs. Wang's ear, suggesting that more children from the family should be selected to come in.Not only for Jia Lian and his wife, but also to get rid of some sneaky people who occupy positions but do nothing, and choose some people who can do things honestly to make an example.What's more, it seems that it's time to release people from the mansion again, and some girls and servants who have reached the age will be released, and by the way, they will select a group to come in and adjust/teach their successors in advance.Mrs. Wang was moved by what she said, and many people entered the mansion at once.

Luo Chun was holding a silver hairpin, sitting in front of the table, flipping casually in the eight-treasure box, listening to Sha Zhi's words indifferently.Shazhi described the situation of Zhou Rui's family to her articulately: "...Girl, you didn't see it, because the second wife said that a group of lazy people who don't do anything will be kicked out from the house. Zhou Rui's family is in charge of this matter now, and now she But Rezao is always flattered and flattered wherever she goes. When they see her, they all call her 'Aunt Zhou' or 'Sister-in-law Zhou' affectionately. I think she is so praised now that she doesn't even know the weight of her bones, and I'm afraid she doesn't even know her last name."

"It's not just a matter of a day or two for Zhou Rui's family to be weak." Compared to the current situation of Zhou Rui's family, Luo Chun is more concerned about another matter: "But find out how many people have been kicked out of the house, and how many people have come in? "

Shazhi hurriedly told Luochun about the news her father had inquired about: "The people who have been kicked out have been determined, there are about seven or eight; the number of those who have been selected has not been determined yet, but there are already more than a dozen."

Luochun randomly picked a piece of preserved fruit with a hairpin and put it into his mouth, chewing slowly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, he said mockingly: "Do you think there are not enough servants in the mansion? There are not as many people who go out as come in. Later, when Lian's second sister-in-law married and brought in a group of people, there were more and more servants in the mansion. I wish eight people could do one thing. My second aunt also said that no one would do it. I don't know what she was thinking about. How many people are suitable for doing the job?"

The already bloated army of servants has increased imports, overstaffed, less work, more lazy and slippery, everyone only picks the cheap ones to do, and there is no one to recruit the rest of the hard work.Those with face refuse to obey the rules, those without face cannot make progress, and the more rules are lost, it is no wonder that there is no chaos!

Shazhi complained angrily: "Girl, you don't know, obviously the second wife said that those who are lazy, playful, and do nothing are kicked out, but Zhou Rui's family accepted the gift from others, and those who kicked out would not People who seek profit and do things honestly, or people who have grievances with her in the past, tell me, what is she doing!"

Luo Chun cast a sideways glance at her, saw that her face was full of injustice and resentment, so she asked, "Why, do these people who have been kicked out have relatives from your family?" But the people on Dafang's side have nothing to do with her, so Zhou Rui's family can't control them here.In terms of the relationship between the eldest room and the second room, if it was not related to him, the expulsion of the second room staff would only be seen as a commotion by the people on the side of the first room, and naturally they would not take it to heart.

"Well, my cousin is on the list to be kicked out, but she is not a lazy person, but she had a quarrel with Zhou Rui's family, and she kept it in her heart. When my cousin knew about it, she didn't know it. Well, I am very worried, but my family is in trouble, and I can't offer anything to bribe Zhou Rui's family, so I can only watch helplessly as Zhou Rui's family avenges their personal revenge and lists myself among those who have been kicked out." Seeing Luochun asked, Mr. Saori Replied honestly, and then complained about the suffering: "Girl, my cousin's husband broke his leg in the early years and couldn't do heavy work, so he could only raise him at home. The children in the family are still young, only three or four years old, and he didn't come to the house. At the age when I worked as a servant, the whole family depended on my cousin. Now that my cousin has been kicked out, the family has no livelihood, and I don’t know how to live tomorrow?”

Perhaps the servant in the stable is unremarkable, but maybe he has a relative who works beside Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, or other masters of the Jia family. People have long been unable to figure out who is related to which family and who is not compatible with which family.Therefore, Luochun was not surprised to hear Saori's answer.

Saori's family was the son of the mansion when they opened the mansion, and now her family are all working in the mansion. Although the position does not seem particularly prominent, they can be regarded as useful people in the mansion, and more importantly What's more, the relationship network formed by their family in the mansion over the years is still very useful to Luochun.Thinking of this, Luochun said: "I can't get involved in the affairs of the mansion, you know that, but I have a house outside that is rented out to Juzi who comes to Beijing, you should know that. Now there is a shortage of a cook, if your cousin doesn't mind, I can help arrange it, but the salary may not be as much as in the house, only five hundred dollars a month."

When Shazhi told Luochun about this, she meant to ask Luochun to help her cousin arrange it. After hearing Luochun's words, she hurriedly said happily: "Why do you dislike it? My cousin's monthly money in the mansion It’s only five hundred dollars. Then I’ll thank the girl on behalf of my cousin.” Although Saori has never done it before, I’ve heard family members say that it doesn’t sound like a good job as a cook, but among them There is a lot to hide, and when cooking, the hands are slightly higher, not to mention the meals of the whole family, but at least one person can be saved for chewing.In comparison, her cousin got a bargain this time.

The errands at the rented house were originally arranged by Luochun for the eldest son and daughter-in-law of Wang Shanbao's family, but because they messed up the Xing family's entry to Beijing, she assigned the errands for the eldest son of Wang Shanbao's family to Guan Nam Mammy's son, as for the matter of the cook, because there will be no suitable candidate for a while, Mrs. Fei will temporarily arrange someone to take care of it.But Shazhi knew that Wang Shanbao's family hadn't given up, and was still watching eagerly. Now that Luochun gave her to her cousin, she couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Thinking of the twists and turns of the family in the mansion, not knowing which vine is connected to which melon, Luochun couldn't help sighing: "Actually speaking, Zhou Rui's family surprised me this time. I thought that with her level of tact, it would be good to be able to throw out four or five, but I didn't expect that there would be so many..."

"She kicked out these seven or eight of them, and there are three of them in Uncle Zhu's room." Hearing Luochun's words, Shazhi curled her lips and said with disdain.Luo Chun was very surprised when he heard this, and said in surprise: "What's the matter with Sister-in-law Ganzhu?"

Shazhi looked around, and then said in a low voice: "I heard from my mother that Grandma Zhu used this time to drive out people from the mansion, and released all the people who followed Master Zhu. Master Zhu is gone. There is nothing wrong with sending out the people in his house, but Grandma Zhu did too much, saying that they are seductive and seductive. , you are not allowed to take anything with you, and you are just sent out with bare rods."

Yarn sighed in her mouth: "I really didn't expect that Grandma Zhu was born in a scholarly family and has principles in her actions. She looks like a Bodhisattva who is easy to talk, but she didn't expect her methods to be so ruthless. It's really surprising. It's not that the whole family doesn't come in. I heard that sister Mei Xiang, who served Master Zhu since she was a child, originally refused to leave, saying she wanted to guard. My mother said that people in the house like this, even if they are in front of them There are no sons and daughters, and there are some who are willing to guard. If they stay, they can be a companion for Grandma Zhu, which is not bad, but who knows what Grandma Zhu is thinking, she just refuses to respond. It is said that sister Mei Xiang She knelt down and begged, but Grandma Zhu didn't let go, and later she yelled at Sister Mei Xiang, saying that if she dragged on and refused to leave, it would not be as simple as sending her out, but sending her away. When we arrived at Lixiangyuan, Sister Meixiang had no choice but to leave."

Because Luochun has already been distorted on the road of being a lady, the people around her can't help but be led astray by her, and there are no taboos in speaking and acting in front of her, and there is no taboo about what should be said or what should be said.Luo Chun was stunned when she heard the news from Sha Zhi.Because of Jia Zhu's early death, Li Wan was identified as "Kefu" by Mrs. Wang. She must have been angry in her heart, but Mrs. Wang is her mother-in-law. She sprinkled it on Jia Zhu's housemates, but as Saori said, she acted too harshly, maybe there are other reasons for this, Li Wan did it not just to vent her anger!

Originally, Luochun wanted to ask Li Wan if Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang knew what she was doing, but she swallowed the words back. Asking or not, things are already like this, so what's the point?What's more, even if they didn't know it at the beginning, the two of them definitely knew about it afterwards, but judging from the silent attitude of the two, it was obvious that people approved of it.After all, they are just a few slaves, but the people in the house who exist like kittens and puppies are far worse than Li Wan, a serious granddaughter-in-law who is brought in by a red sedan chair and recorded in the genealogy.

What's more, because of the customs of the dynasty, widows were not prohibited from remarrying, but at the beginning, Li Wan threw hairpins as an oath in front of all the guests in Jia Zhu's mourning hall, determined to keep the festival.Therefore, she was highly praised by the guests, and she was called a "festive woman", and she has become a signboard of Jia's house.Furthermore, she has a man named Jia Lan under her knees.Jia Lan was the only bone and blood left behind by Jia Zhu. He rushed here without looking at the face of the monk or the face of the Buddha. It was just driving a few girls away. Even if Li Wan went too far, it was within the tolerance range.
