Chapter 408: Lin Daiyu's housekeeper
Located in Rongguofu Middle Road, the five-bay main house Rongxi Hall, the building is magnificent, the largest volume of Rongguofu, the highest grade building, never live in people, only used for government activities and political socialization, the first 80 times of the Red Mansion have not had a big activity here. Now, as if it was a critical autumn of survival, Jiafu was actually open to talking.
In the morning of Qian Hua and Caixia, who had not long been promoted to the rookie housekeeper of Rongguo Mansion, they were greeted by laughter and laughter, and when they entered the gate, Jia Cong nodded expressionlessly, and asked Mrs. Xing, the wife of Jia Zhengwang, to say goodbye, and the next junior sat down safely.
Mrs. Wang, who often wears the main pattern decoration of the money python, reveals low-key and restrained luxury everywhere, the majesty of the big voice, and said with an easy-going smile: "Old lady, Cong'er and Baochai have been keeping their filial piety and hardship for a year, and they have been abiding by their duties and keeping filial piety for a year. But without Baochai's scheduling arrangement, the house is too busy again. Therefore, I asked Qian Hua Caixia to help, and Caixia is very honest. ”
"This is not enough, so many people and so many things, and you have to ask Daiyu to help deal with it, although she is delicate, unlike Baochai, who has no major disasters, but with the help of Li and the three girls, it is enough. Cong'er, look at it, there's nothing wrong with this, right? ”
It doesn't sound like there's anything wrong with it, Mother Jia nodded heavily, and agreed to agree, but the old lady Shi Lao Taijun also seemed to be worried, looked at Jia Cong, and said: "Caixia's honesty, I heard Mandarin Duck talk about it, and they all said that your master forgot something, and your wife didn't know it, only Caixia remembered carefully, this is a good girl, a good daughter-in-law, it's appropriate." Lin girl, it is also necessary to take care of it when you come out and take care of it, after all, she is already her granddaughter-in-law, but don't be too strangled. ”
Lin Daiyu sat quietly and didn't argue anything, but Jia Baoyu was like sitting on pins and needles, restless. Mrs. Wang smiled happily, and Mrs. Xing didn't say a word, hiding her dissatisfaction.
Jia Cong didn't say anything, they sat next to Jia Lian, Jia Huan, Jia Qiang, and they didn't wait until Jia's mother asked him that he came back to his senses and looked at Baochai who was sitting at the female table, and said: "In my room, Sister Bao will say whatever she wants, you can take care of it first, I still have something to do outside." ”
Xue Baochai didn't look at him, and looked down a little shyly, and everyone laughed for a while.
Presented with vegetarian dishes, Jia Cong ate a full meal, rinsed his mouth with tea, Jia Lian seemed to understand, and said: "Huan Laosan, do you often go to the temple to see Brother Qin?" Is he doing well? ”
"I don't know." Jia Huan replied casually at first, and suddenly thought about what was wrong, and suddenly felt angry in his heart, but because there were elders in the hall, he didn't dare to attack, but he became low and snorted coldly: "Second Master Lian didn't question the mistake of the younger brother?" Who hasn't had a pickled affair in a big family? Don't tell me to shake it all out! ”
Saying that, she was about to get so angry that she was about to walk away, but Jia Qiang hurriedly persuaded her: "Third Uncle Huan, who will doubt you, you have too much heart." Sit down, if Brother Qin doesn't do well, I, the acting patriarch, will personally verify it and report it back to the house. ”
Jia Huan sat down again, although his anger had disappeared, but he was really depressed in his heart, no matter who he was, any bad thing would be suspected of him, anyone who came could question him, even the maid Ying'er could bully him casually for gambling money? You say it's you, will you feel better?
In Jia Huan's heart, he couldn't help but think that this Jia Mansion would be poured quickly, and when he fished in troubled waters, hum, he wanted to take revenge one by one.
His dignity, everything he has, has long been trampled under the feet of this family patriarchal system, from the time when Wang Xifeng was the housekeeper, Wang Xifeng was able to scold his biological mother Aunt Zhao through the window, not to mention him.
Jia Huan tried his best to endure it, and saw Jia Congyun drinking tea lightly, changing their topic and saying: "Third Brother Huan, I said that I would give you those sets of books, and I will ask Brother Yun to send them to your East Courtyard later, and I don't have many gifts." ”
"Thank you very much." Jia Huan forced a smile.
Jia Cong's eyes are full of light, and for Jia Huan, his butterfly effect has changed a little, because, according to the original plot, Jia Huan will become bad with Xing Zhong, Wang Ren, etc.
Today, the relationship between Xing Zhong's family and Jia Cong is okay, their work and life are stable, and they can't make any big things by relying on him; Wang Ren had already been "drowned" in the south by Jia Cong's subordinates, Zhong Yin Jia Yun and others.
And Jia Huan really had a raccoon dog with Jia Qin again, Jia Qin was in Wang Xifeng's housekeeper, and his mother Zhou came to ask for it, and got the rice bowl of Guan Shuiyue Nunnery, which is also the steamed bun nunnery.
Originally, if Jia Cong didn't get rid of Jia Zhen, the patriarch, Jia Qin would return to Ningguo Mansion to receive the New Year's Festival reward, and Jia Zhen would be scolded so bloody.
Xue Baochai, who was sitting at the female seat, seemed to feel something, and glanced over here, Lin Hongyu gave Jia Yun a look over there, Jia Yun came over to Jia Cong's side, and said, "Uncle Cong and Brother Qiang still remember, in the lower father-in-law Lin Zhixiao?" ”
Jia Qiang was only one year older than Jia Yun, and said thoughtfully: "Remember, didn't you take charge of all kinds of farm affairs in those years?" Later, Uncle Zhen committed a crime, and they had to go out, and now their younger brother and sister Xiaohong are in the house, and Qian Hua is also in charge of the affairs of the field. I said, Brother Yun, it is easy for you to arrange for your father-in-law and mother-in-law to come in today. ”
"It's not this, so why should I bring it up openly and say no to Grandma Cong in private?" Jia Yun smiled and said softly: "It's the two of Laiwang, as well as Zhou Rui's family, who often move with them, and I wonder what they are afraid of plotting." ”
Jia Baoyu rarely interjected: "Hey, Brother Yun is really righteous and killed relatives." ”
The relationship between human relations and society is really upset, Jia Cong said lightly: "Since it is your father-in-law and mother-in-law, you are in charge, don't wait for me to take care of this kind of thing personally." Also, Jia Qin's matter, Brother Yun and Brother Qiang, let's investigate it together. ”
Jia Lian let out a long sigh, as the elder brother of his sister-in-law, he had nowhere to put his hands, and said in a low voice: "Brother Cong, the eunuchs in the palace are all wolves who can't be fed, you husband and wife are okay, they are all simple and don't like extravagance and waste, that Ge Xuanli, and Dai Quan, who retired to rest, but he has been asking for money here, as well as Xia Shouzhong and Liu Zhiyuan." According to such a delivery method, the sea trade is 100 times more profitable, and our family will not be able to last for a few years, just spend money to buy peace. ”
In the original book, Dai Quan asked Jia Fu for money every time, which made Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng and his wife miserable and sad.
"I'll figure it out for money." Jia Cong was noncommittal about Mrs. Wang's housekeeping arrangement this time, many people were thinking, the first is the university scholar Champion Lang Jia Cong, after all, he can't resist the respect of the elders and the young, what can he do in this matter except forbearance? The second is Jia Cong's powerful position, as outsiders say, from hot to hot, has been reduced to a person who is cold, and obviously lacks confidence, otherwise why not fight back? Firmly control and stabilize the position of him and Baochai and his wife?
As everyone knows, Jia Cong doesn't look down on this level of family struggle at this time, isn't he very calm when he watches the play as a bystander now? Moreover, if Jiafu is not only Baochai Ping'er and others, but also can serve as a housekeeper. And it is well organized, taking into account the overall situation and making sure that nothing goes wrong, so why should he and Baochai fight? Wouldn't you be happy to have peace of mind? Sometimes there are some positions, not only by fighting, but also by looking at whether it is suitable, and the four words of the weak and the strong are not as good as the survival of the fittest.
At this time, the attacker came in and replied to Mrs. Wang: "Qian Huai has come to beg several times, and wants Liu Wu'er, the daughter of Sister-in-law Liu, who is in the back kitchen of the garden, because he has reached the age of marriage, he ...... according to the usual practice."
Mrs. Wang said: "If he wants to ask his relatives himself, I am in charge of the third person who copies the scriptures and talks about the number of rituals, do you still care if his long-term follower has a wife?" ”
Jia Huan's heart became more and more cold and resentful.
Mrs. Xing wanted to watch a good show, so she interjected: "Let the third girl and Lin Ya take care of it, they are most familiar with the affairs of the garden." ”
Mrs. Wang's heart was dark, how could Lin Daiyu's sick seedlings manage this matter?
I don't want Jia Cong to talk to Jia Zheng at this time, and the show is playing out right in front of him.
