Since ancient times, group living has been indispensable for comparison, and comparison is indispensable, and there will inevitably be open and secret battles. It's normal to think about it, after all, resources are limited, and if you want to take more of others, you will naturally get less. In the final analysis, fighting is also to fight for fame and □□, and to seek the foundation for profit. This set is also applicable to the inner house. The struggle between the ancients and the house is just people, power, and profit.
It is said that as recorded in the book Dream of Red Mansions, although the person in charge of the specific affairs in the inner house of Rongguo Mansion is Wang Xifeng, the daughter-in-law of Jia Lian, who looks at the scenery and is decent and powerful, but in fact, careful analysis is just a futile effort for Mrs. Wang to run errands. When Shi Fei'er first saw it, she didn't understand why this Rongguo Mansion was such a way of managing the family. Why is it that the wife of the second room is the home of the big house, but the daughter-in-law of the big house has to act according to the face of the wife of the second room?
However, this time, Shi Fei'er crossed into Jia's mother, and with Jia's mother's memory, she understood the current situation a little. Now in this Rongguo Mansion, it is indeed the second room of Mrs. Wang who is in charge, but it is simple to ask the reason.
In fact, this Rongguo Mansion was originally run by Jia's mother, but when the daughter-in-law entered the door, she naturally had to delegate power to manage one or two. The eldest lady, Mrs. Zhang, entered the door, and in order to show her posture, Jia's mother put some things for Mrs. Zhang to do. After this lady took over, she took care of the things in an orderly manner, and the money accounts were clear, and her ability to govern the inner house was very good. After the second daughter-in-law entered the door, because she was born in the four major families of Jinling, plus Jia's mother loved the house and Wu, so she was also slightly oriented, and she had to share some things for her to do. In this way, Jia's mother has a lot of peace of mind, and her daughter-in-law is doing things, and she has to report to herself from time to time, and Jia's mother is also happy to be idle.
□□ Guogong passed away, the eldest attacked the lord again, and the second became an official. Everything is complicated, Jia's mother is sad, and secondly, she really feels that her energy is low, so she simply handed over the errand of the housekeeper directly to the eldest lady to take care of, after all, as a first-class lady, it is impossible to say that she does not have a director and housekeeper inside and outside at this time, after all, this Rongguo Mansion will be managed by the big house sooner or later. Besides, this Mrs. Zhang has been doing well, and Mother Jia is also happy and comfortable.
However, this time, because Zhang's was pregnant, and the early stage was not very good, he asked the doctor to take a look, saying that it was caused by hard work, and he thought too much, so he had fetal gas. At that time, there was nothing more important than the heir, and Mother Jia thought that if this eldest lady was always annoyed by trivial matters, she was afraid that it would not be good for this child, so she first discussed with Mrs. Zhang to let Mrs. Wang take care of it for a while. Mrs. Zhang did not act recklessly for the sake of the child in her belly, and now the Rongguo Mansion is the back house that Mrs. Wang takes care of. In fact, whether it is the eldest wife or the second wife, although they occupy decency and power, in the final analysis, it is still Jia's mother who has the final say.
When I first read Dream of Red Mansions, Shi Fei'er didn't like this Mrs. Wang because of her kindness and poisonous face, but she felt that she was also a poor person who lost her son in middle age, but now that she has come into contact with her again, she found that although this person is in charge, her style of action lacks atmospheric foresight, and she is a little worse than the eldest lady. There is an old saying: If there is a good wife in the family, the husband will not be bad or bad. If Mrs. Wang is allowed to develop like this, then disaster will come sooner or later. Now that she has experienced the matter of helping Jia Min choose her mother, Shi Fei'er is even more determined to take back this housekeeping right.
Rectifying the inner house, it's just Shi Fei'er thinking about it first, and how to do it must be done slowly. After all, Shi Fei'er doesn't want to move and change houses and rectify the inner house all at once, if there are too many things, it is easy to make trouble, and if there is chaos, it is easy for people to take advantage of loopholes. Besides, now that Mrs. Wang has kept the rules in the house, there is no big mess, Shi Fei'er thinks that she should let it go first. When the eldest lady gave birth to this child and was out of confinement, and then let Mrs. Zhang return to power and housekeeping, the second wife couldn't say anything at that time, after all, this was originally for her to take care of.
Rongguo Mansion has always been full of people and affairs, Shi Fei'er originally wanted to rest for a few days in a clean and quiet manner, but she failed to do so. There is always something to keep him busy, and on this day he received a letter from Jia Min of the Lin Mansion, in which he said in detail that the old lady of the Lin family had known that Jia Min was pregnant, and naturally the whole house was happy, and the old lady of the Lin family heard that Jia's mother wanted to help find two grandmothers who had retired from the palace to take care of one or two, so she naturally agreed happily. He also hurriedly sent Jia Min to ask how he found it. So Jia Min hurriedly wrote a letter to ask her mother about the situation. Shi Fei'er felt that this time was quite a coincidence, this side had just been selected, and that side was waiting to ask for it, which was also interesting. So he sent Jia Min the roster of several grandmothers one by one, and asked him to choose one or two according to his needs. Jia Min got the roster, looked at the people carefully, and chose two capable grandmothers with generous personalities. With the help, Jia Min is a lot more relaxed, because she listened to Jia's mother's letter and said that the selection of people this time depends on the dedication of her eldest brother and sister-in-law, and she is also grateful.
A few days later, good news came from the Lin Mansion again. The emperor's will has been issued, and Lin Ruhai was promoted to the Taizhong doctor of Lantai Temple, and Lin Ruhai was ordered to go to Yuhang, and the official was promoted to the fourth grade. As soon as the holy decree arrived, everyone in the Lin Mansion was naturally rejoicing. Because she was going to go out of Beijing to take up her post, Jia Min couldn't help but have to prepare well for Lin Ruhai, originally she was going to go with her, but this time she was pregnant, and she was afraid that she would not be able to withstand the bumps in the road, so she could only stay in Beijing. Shi Fei'er felt quite good when she heard about this, and if she took care of it like this, maybe it would be a good thing for Jia Min's body. After all, if Lin Daiyu's parents are there, she naturally doesn't have to send people under the fence, and with her parents planning for it, how can her fate be as miserable as recorded in the book in the future.
The Lin Mansion sent an invitation, and Double Happiness was naturally to feast guests. After receiving the invitation, Shi Fei'er ordered Mrs. Wang to prepare a generous gift for congratulations, and brought the gift list for the Lin Mansion to congratulate him and inspect it carefully. Perhaps because of the relationship between Daiyu, who didn't know when she would come into the world, Shi Fei'er was even more interested in Jia Min. After reading the gift list carefully, I added a few more things before I was satisfied. Shi Fei'er suddenly remembered that it was recorded in the book that Lin Daiyu was weak, and Lin Ruhai had a son who died before he was three years old. Although there are natural reasons for this, it is estimated that it may also have something to do with Jia Min's lack of proliferation. Moreover, this fetus was also found by luck, and now because the child is still young, if you pay attention to maintenance and maintenance from now on, maybe the child's body will be much better when it is born. Thinking of this, Shi Fei'er hurriedly asked the maid to prepare a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and collected and sorted out the pregnancy attention and parenting knowledge that Jia's mother had in her brain, and gave it to Jia Min.
Shi Feier is unmarried and has no children, but she has a little nephew. From pregnancy to childbirth, my younger siblings were carefully taken care of by her side. In order to take care of myself, I also checked a lot of books and went to many forums, and these precautions and experiences are handy. In addition, I also have a bunch of colleagues and friends who are crazy about babies in this world, and those people's circle of friends are tireless in science popularization and strengthening various parenting knowledge in addition to showing babies every day. Shi Fei'er really didn't expect that the knowledge that was annoyed in this world would come in handy now.
For several days, Shi Fei'er devoted herself to writing a booklet on pregnancy health care in the house, and instructed the maid not to be disturbed. Every day, in addition to accepting greetings from her son and daughter-in-law, Shi Feier didn't even go to the garden. Finally, I finished writing the booklet on pregnancy health care before the wedding day. When the auspicious day came, Mrs. Zhang was pregnant and her body was heavy, so it was inconvenient to go out, so Shi Fei'er only took Mrs. Wang to Lin Mansion to congratulate her.
Lin Ruhai was proud of the spring breeze at this time, and he was a little happier than when he was exploring flowers in high school. Because he was promoted and will become a father, naturally many people want to come to congratulate, but Lin Ruhai is as cautious and humble as usual, and only people close to Su Ri were invited to the banquet. Seeing that Jia Yu and Jia Zheng came to say hello, they hurriedly greeted them.
"Say hello to my sister-in-law. Jia Yu was the first to speak, because he was in a good mood these days, and his face was quite funny and smiling. Without waiting for Lin Ruhai to return the salute, Jia Zheng, who was standing on the side, also stepped forward to say hello, Lin Ruhai hurriedly returned the salute to the two and invited the two to their seats. On weekdays, Lin Ruhai and Jia Zheng are closer, they are both scholars, have similar thoughts, have similar interests, and can talk together. For Jia Yu, Lin Ruhai is a lot farther away, and always feels that Jia Yu has a smug atmosphere and is far away from a person like himself who reads and is clear, and when they get together, except for the antique fan, Lin Ruhai and Jia Yu can talk about very few places.
However, in the past few days, because Jia Min has mentioned to Lin Ruhai that Jia's mother helped her find a grandmother in her house, the eldest brother and sister-in-law have made a lot of efforts. Lin Ruhai has also seen those two grandmothers, who act neatly and have a keen eye, and they have only been in the house for a few days and found out a few restless subordinates, which are quite appreciated by their old lady and Jia Min. Therefore, he was appointed out of Beijing for a foreign post, not only when will he return, but now that Jia Min is pregnant and his mother is old, it is inevitable that there will be a few uneasy births among these subordinates, and he is in a foreign country and cannot be controlled, so he is always a little relieved. Now that Lin Ruhai saw that Jia Min had help by his side, he was a lot more relieved and relieved his worries. When I saw Jia Yu today and thought of this, I felt a lot closer. After chatting for a few words, I found that this Jia Yu was quite concerned about his sister-in-law, which made Lin Ruhai even more moved, and Jia Zheng, who didn't even bother to say anything on the side, was a little sluggish.
In fact, he can't complain about Jia Zheng, this matter of looking for his grandmother, Jia Zheng doesn't know anything about it from beginning to end. It's just because Mrs. Wang doesn't like Jia Min, so she doesn't care about Jia Min's affairs. This year, I was in charge of the Lin Mansion's three festivals and two birthdays, and I just did it as usual and couldn't make a mistake, this time I saw that Jia's mother attached so much importance to Jia Min's pregnancy, and I was quite unhappy, and Jia's mother asked her to move and change houses before, and I was even more unhappy. So Mrs. Wang didn't even mention it to Jia Zheng. Today, Jia Zheng saw that Lin Ruhai was more cordial to Jia Yu, thinking that because he was moving out of Rongxi Hall, Lin Ruhai treated him like this, and he also looked down on Lin Ruhai in his heart.
Not to mention the staggered staggering of the cup and the change of the lamp on the outer seat, this inner room is also lively. Seeing that Jia's mother arrived, the old lady of the Lin Mansion was happy to greet her in person, and pushed Jia's mother to sit down, but Shi Fei'er had no choice but to resign. Jia Min also came to see the ceremony, and led the two grandmothers to come with him by the way. The two grandmothers knew the reason and came to thank them. Mother Jia didn't care, but Mrs. Wang on the side surprised a lot. This Mrs. Wang is not a stupid person, and after a little thought, she knows that the entry of these two grandmothers into the Lin Mansion is the credit of the big house. Mrs. Wang regretted a little that she didn't care about this matter, but she was even more disgusted that the eldest lady was clever in this matter.
