Chapter 144: Handover of Power

After the meal, Lu Jing didn't go anywhere, just talked to Daiyu in the room, and tried her best to soothe Daiyu's anxiety about her new home.

In the afternoon, Lu Jing asked the housekeepers, account rooms, and stewards in various places to lead the big maid, the little maid and other servants to greet Daiyu.

Because during Lu Jing's trip to Zhejiang, Daiyu often went to Lufu, and everyone was very familiar with Daiyu, but now Daiyu's share is different and she has become the housewife of the Lu family.

After seeing the ceremony, Lu Jing took Daiyu to the study, and the two sat side by side.

After Lu Jing asked people to move the account books in the house, he handed over a bunch of keys in his hand to Daiyu: "This is the key to several warehouses in the house, and when Madame is free, I will go to see our belongings." ”

Lin Daiyu was moved in her heart, she didn't expect her husband to trust her so much, she handed over the key to her on the first day of marriage, tightened the key in her hand, and said: "Xie Fujun trusts, Daiyu will definitely take care of our family." ”

"Don't say any more thank you words in the future, you are my wife, I don't believe who else can you trust!" Lu Jing said, picked up the account book and introduced the situation at home to Daiyu.

Daiyu discovered that the Lu family was wealthy, not only in the south of the Yangtze River, but also in Beijing, there were three Zhuangzi, dozens of shops and two restaurants.

The business in Jiangnan alone has an annual profit of 50,000 or 60,000 taels, plus the business in Beijing, there will be a surplus of 70,000 or 80,000 taels every year, and the Lu family has saved nearly one million taels of family assets over the years.

And listening to his father, most of the Lu family's wealth was earned by his husband, and he didn't sigh in his heart that his husband was not only knowledgeable, but also top-notch in his economic career.

"Husband, there are so many businesses in the family, Daiyu is afraid that she will not be able to manage it well?"

Lin Daiyu was originally very confident, but after seeing that her business was all over Jiangnan and Beijing, she hesitated, worried about whether she could manage this family well.

"Yu'er don't have to worry, the so-called laborers govern people, laborers govern people, several stewards in the house are all shrewd and capable people, if there is anything, you can leave it to them to do, Mrs. only needs to be clearly responsible and authorized, and know how to use people well!" Lu Jing comforted Daiyu and said.

When Daiyu heard this, her expression did not ease down, the car can carry heavy loads, crossing the river is not as good as a boat, knowing people and making good use of it, using its strengths and avoiding its shortcomings, it is easy to say, but it is not easy to do.

Seeing this, Lu Jing continued to persuade: "You don't have too much pressure, I will tell you the characteristics of a few stewards in the house, you can measure it, and the few maids next to you should also be cultivated well, which can be used as your help." ”

After hearing this, Daiyu was extremely moved in her heart, her husband let him reuse Zijuan and a few people, so that he could establish a foundation in the mansion, but if he wanted to gain a foothold in the mansion and act on his own, he still needed to be impartial.

Lu Jing then introduced the characteristics of the various stewards in the house, as well as the general affairs they were mainly responsible for, to Daiyu.

The Lu family has a total of two housekeepers, Lu Dong is the chief housekeeper, coordinating all affairs in the house; Lu Bei is the second housekeeper and is responsible for managing the treasury and account room.

Six stewards, Lu Zheng is responsible for managing the business in Beijing, Lu Lian is responsible for the travel arrangements at home, Lu Wu is in charge of the errands of the people in the house, and Lu Cong is in charge of the household needs in the house. The Luo family of Lu Dong is responsible for managing the work arrangements of the maids and mothers-in-law in the back house, and the Zhang family of Lu Zheng's family is in charge of all matters related to kitchen purchases.

Daiyu listened to Lu Jing's introduction very carefully, and then nodded: "Don't worry, husband, Daiyu will take care of the house!" ”

Lu Jing saw that Daiyushen was too nervous, so he persuaded him: "Yu'er don't worry, I will help you share the housekeeper's affairs, you are talented, don't waste all your energy on the housekeeper's chores, you still have to pursue more things you like, and write more poems and sentences that have been passed down through the ages." ”

"Husband, don't praise Daiyu so much in the future, the concubine was originally proud of some talent, but now compared with her husband, she finds that she still has a lot to learn." Daiyu said a little embarrassed.

The heart is both moved and happy, before the marriage of the husband Jun to himself is very good, always caring, all the time condolences, after marriage to himself is obedient, secretly grateful to his father for choosing a good husband for himself.

Lu Jing said with a smile: "That's different, a husband can only deal with some worldly trivial matters, you can be called a talent, if you become a celebrity through the ages in the future, I think future generations will mention you, and they can also remember me as a talented woman." ”

"Since my husband said so, then Daiyu has to do her best!" Lin Daiyu joked and took the initiative to throw herself into Lu Jing's arms.

Lu Jing hugged the jade into his arms, put Daiyu on his lap, stroked Daiyu's body, and said with a smile: "That husband is waiting for his wife's masterpiece!" ”

"Hmm!" Daiyu buried her head in Lu Jing's chest, listening to his heartbeat, and felt that there was a gentleman like this, what more could a husband ask for.

For a long time, Daiyu raised her head and said, "Husband, Daiyu has always had a question in her heart!" ”

"What does Yu'er want to ask?" Lu Jing stroked Daiyu's hair and said.

"When did the husband know about Daiyu?"

Lu Jing thought for a while and told the truth: "In the previous life! ”

Daiyu raised her jade hand lightly, slapped Lu Jing's mouth, and said angrily: "Husband, don't be joking!" ”

Lu Jing saw that Daiyu didn't believe it, so he smiled and asked, "Why did Yu'er think of asking this question?" ”

"Daiyu has always felt that her husband knows me very well?" Daiyu God asked very seriously.

This is what she has always wondered in her heart, especially how did her husband know what she warned herself before entering Jiafu for the first time.

Lu Jing naturally couldn't say that he had seen Dream of Red Mansions, so he had to explain: "After I worshipped my father-in-law as my teacher, I saw that my father-in-law missed you very much, so I sent someone to Beijing to find out your news, and I found out more things, so I naturally knew you better!" ”

"Why does that husband sometimes know even what Daiyu thinks in her heart?" Daiyu asked.

"Really?" Lu Jing pretended to question.

Daiyushen nodded very seriously, waiting for Lu Jing's answer.

,

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Jing smiled and said: "That can only be said that the two of us have a heart, no matter how far apart, we can feel each other's thoughts, I heard that if two people are destined to marry, they will be heart-to-heart, and they can understand each other's thoughts!" ”

"Hmm!" Lin Daiyu nodded, agreeing with Lu Jing's statement.

Seeing that Daiyu didn't ask any more, Lu Jing breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly changed the topic: "What do you think of the Jia family's Lian Er?" ”

"Does the husband want to ask Sister Feng about her housekeeping skills?" Lin Daiyu wondered.

"Not exactly, but since you mentioned it, let's talk about her housekeeper's methods first."

Dai Yu thought about this matter when she was in charge of the house, so she commented directly: "Although Sister Feng can please her grandmother, and is good at housework, and takes care of the huge Rong Mansion in an orderly manner, she is just a little unforgiving, and she can't help but criticize her subordinates. ”

"When I lived in Rong Mansion before, although I didn't deliberately inquire, I also knew that although there were many people in the Jia family who were respectful to her on the surface, almost everyone hated her behind the scenes."

Daiyu said, there is a little Sister Feng in her heart, she has been busy for so many years, not only has she caused so many people to be dissatisfied, but I am afraid that she will not end well.

Lu Jing nodded and said: "Yu'er is really smart and has seen quite thoroughly, but there are some things that you have to look at from the standpoint of the parties." ”

"There is a condescending old lady in Rongguo Mansion, her parents-in-law, uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters-in-law, most of the people in the mansion have been on errands in Rongfu for several generations, and the relationship is complicated.

"As for the harsh subordinates, there is indeed a reason for her own personality, but it is more forced by the situation, the character of the Jia family, I think you also know something, if she is not harsh, I am afraid that she will be overthrown by those subordinates a long time ago."

"But she is the daughter-in-law of the big house after all, and now she is just helping the housekeeper of the second room, and sooner or later she will have to go back, in my opinion, she has worked hard for so many years, I'm afraid she is just making a wedding dress for her."

Daiyu nodded in agreement when she heard this, and then asked, "Husband said this, is he appreciating Sister Feng?" ”

As he spoke, his little hand reached out to Lu Jing's waist and pinched it, reminding him to answer well.

Lu Jing hurriedly said: "Madam misunderstood, although her talent is indeed commendable, but she is too vicious, and her husband doesn't have much affection for her!" ”

"Why did you say that?" Daiyu asked, and the hand on Lu Jing's waist slowly pulled back.

Lu Jing immediately put Wang Xifeng in the seal money and died; For 3,000 taels of silver, he broke up the marriage between Zhang Jin Ge and the son of the garrison, causing the two to be martyred, and told Daiyu one by one.

Daiyu was secretly shocked after hearing this, but she didn't expect that Sister Feng, who had always been cool and pleasant, would do so many evil things, and she suddenly felt a little unhappy in her heart, and nodded: "Husband, don't worry, Daiyu will reduce her dealings with Sister Feng in the future." ”

Lu Jing saw that Daiyu realized what he meant, so he nodded and said, "You can know it in your heart." ”

Daiyu nodded, and then said with some emotion: "Since ancient times, good and evil are the most difficult to perceive, both beauty and evil, different appearances, there are gentle and deceitful people, there are those who are flattering and deceitful, there are those who are brave and cowardly, and there are those who are unfaithful with their best efforts, it is really difficult to distinguish." ”

Lu Jing said: "They are also right and wrong, and this is also right and wrong, they all have their own positions, good and evil cannot be generalized, just like the local treatment of floods and diversion of water to the east, then the west village is called good, and the east village is called evil; If the water flows westward, the east village is called good, and the west village is called evil, and if the position is different, there is no consensus! ”

Daiyu pondered: "What the husband said is that good and evil vary from person to person, and the same is true of right and wrong. ”

Lu Jing said with a smile: "That being said, you still have to distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil, so that you can guard yourself and not be deceived by others." ”

Daiyu tapped her head and agreed: "Everything is wrong, because you don't know people, you don't know between good and evil, right and wrong are reversed, no wonder the ancients said, don't know what people don't know, but don't know people." ”

Lu Jing nodded and said, "Zhuge has seven ways to distinguish people, and Mrs. can refer to it." ”

"One is to ask about right and wrong and to look at its will, the second is to judge the poor with rhetoric and to see its changes, the third is to consult it with strategy and to see its knowledge, the fourth is to tell it to see its courage with calamity, the fifth is to be drunk and to judge it with wine, the sixth is to see its incorruptibility by profit, and the seventh is to look at its faith by things."

Daiyu said thoughtfully: "Living is regarded as what they are doing, being rich is looking at what they are, reaching is based on what they do, being poor is looking at what they don't do, and being poor is based on what they don't take, which is also the way to know people." ”

Then the two discussed how to recognize people, distinguish people, and rest until the unitary time.

After the meal, Lu Jing was worried about Daiyu's accumulation of food, so he walked around the garden with Daiyu.

On the way back, Daiyu proposed to go to the warehouse to have a look, and Lu Jing accompanied Daiyu to the warehouse.

Daiyu first looked at the storehouse where antique calligraphy and paintings were stored, and saw that there were all kinds of treasures in the storehouse, including "Flowers, Birds, Grasses and Insects", "Quehua Autumn Color", "Lamei Mountain Fowl", "Garden Dream", "Jinshan Crouching Tiger", "Sanxi Post", "Tiaoxi Poems" and other precious literati calligraphy and paintings.

There are dragon ear tiger foot square pot, glazed Buddha relic letter, pastel hexagonal bottle, splendid jade exquisite, Tian purple jade gon, rose purple glaze sunward flower pot, blue glaze treasure lamp, gilt copper ox, flower fairy dew plate, lotus crane square pot and other precious utensils.

Lu Jing roughly introduced Daiyu to the origin of these calligraphy and paintings, as well as their market prices.

Later, Daiyu inspected the storehouse where cloth and brocade were stored, and the storehouse where miscellaneous items such as gold and silver, bronze mirrors, jade screens, jade ruyi, agarwood, rosewood, glaze, and the four treasures of the study were stored.

At two o'clock, the two went back to the room, cleaned up, and hugged each other and fell asleep.
