"Nonsense, nonsense. Is there any other rule in his eyes! Yesterday I also said that he had done it for Yu'er's birthday, but now it's good, and he actually called people from both prefectures over to eat and drink to celebrate, which really me off. ”

Mother Jia is an old and blessed person, and the most taboo thing is to say something dead and alive, and now she actually said this word in public, which shows that she is really angry.

Mrs. Wang hurriedly persuaded: "He just spoiled Lin too much, so he thought of such a way to celebrate her birthday." It's just that they are all slaves in our own house, and there is no major obstacle, so the old lady must not be angry about it. ”

"Hmph, I just blame him for spoiling his sisters too much. It's Lin Yatou today, and Ming'er doesn't know if it's a girl or a spring girl! If it goes on like this, relatives and friends will know, can it not be a joke, saying that there are no rules in the eyes of our family. ”

Aunt Xue sat aside. Baochai didn't come out when she entered the garden in the morning, and she was probably abducted to participate in the event at this time, which made her a little embarrassed.

Jia Lian walked in, and Jia Mu immediately asked him, "Didn't I ask you to go over and have a look, why did you come back so quickly?" ”

Jia Lian smiled bitterly: "As soon as I walked to the West Corner Gate over there, I saw that they closed the door in one go and locked it from the inside. I asked them what they were doing, and they said that it was the second brother's order, and today the mansion closed the door to celebrate Sister Lin's birthday, saying that if I have anything important, I will wait for them to report it.

I saw this and had to come back. ”

Jia Mu sneered: "You see, he also knows that he can't let others know about this, so he closes the door and does it." But he made such a big move over there, thinking that he could hide it from others behind closed doors? ”

Wang Xifeng listened to it below, and his heart moved. He's not afraid that others will know, but he doesn't want others to bother......

"Old lady, the gate of the mansion over there is closed, isn't it okay to go over to the garden here, I'll send someone to go over from here to spy on the sentry." Wang Xifeng said.

Jia Mu shook her head and said, "Forget it, isn't it obvious that the matter is clear, what if you send someone over?" Can't you lift the table for them? He did this mysteriously and didn't let us know in advance, wasn't he afraid that we wouldn't let him do it?

Do you believe it, I'll send someone here, and he can leave them to eat and drink! ”

Everyone laughed when Jia Mu said this. Mother Jia really knows enough about Jia Qing's temper.

Aunt Xue smiled: "He knew that it was not very proper to do this, so he didn't do it yesterday, but invited us over to eat and drink seriously, and sent us all away first." Today, he closed the door and invited all the people in the house to have a drink together, but he just valued their brother and sister relationship, and took the opportunity to let the big guys have a lively and lively life, if the old lady didn't like it, he would call him over and talk about it when they dispersed, and he wouldn't dare next time. ”

Jia Mu said: "That's it, the left and right are just their juniors' nonsense, and it's not a big fault." He invited the people of the two provinces to eat and drink and watch the drama in the house together, and he didn't charge a penny of silver.

He just calculated this point, so he was so fearless, and he was not afraid of me scolding him. ”

Everyone even said that Jia Mu thought too much, but Jia Qing no longer had such thoughts.

In fact, if you think about it seriously, this is really not a big deal. The slaves and maids celebrate the master's birthday, and it is not without precedent in Jiafu, but no one has done such a big move and so thoroughly as Jia Qing.

According to rough estimates, all the people in Ningguo Mansion are seated today, and half of Rongguo Mansion has passed.

In fact, whether Jia Mu is angry or not, you can see that so many people in Rongguo Mansion can pass. If she was really angry, she only needed to say that no one in the Rongguo Mansion would dare to run over.

Those who have already run past can only come back obediently.

However, no one in the master of Rongguo Mansion spoke up from beginning to end, so those who had free time dared to rush over to eat the banquet when they heard the news......

Mother Jia said a few words, Aunt Xue, Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng jointly persuaded a few words, and Mother Jia's unhappiness was almost gone, speaking of which, in the end, she is also a person who likes to be lively.

When Mrs. Wang and the three of them saw each other, they knew that Mother Jia was about to take a nap, so they all got up to say goodbye.

After they left, looking at the maids in Rongqing Hall who were still full, Jia Mu actually reversed her tone and said, "When I take a nap, you leave a few people to watch the house and go over to eat two cups of bars, which is also a rare grace." ”

The maids were suddenly moved, but also hesitated. Isn't Mother Jia still unhappy, why did she take the initiative to ask them to go?

The mandarin duck smiled and said, "The old lady said that we have never eaten wine. It doesn't matter if we stay here and serve the old lady. ”

Jia Mu said: "That's it, Mandarin Duck, you will arrange them in a while, as long as they don't run out, you can let everyone in the past go over and eat two cups." ”

Mother Jia thought to herself, the people in the other houses have passed, but the people in her house didn't go, as if she was not decent enough, this is what she thought.

Seeing that Jia's mother insisted, after serving Jia's mother to sleep, the mandarin duck had to order a few idle maids and let them go into the garden to have a look, if they could go over there, let them go over to play, just told them to go back early.

In fact, those girls who were not on duty in Rongqing Hall today had already run over with the crowd.

......

As soon as Jia Qing sat down, Daiyu asked him, "The big scene you said is like this?" ”

Jia Qing's approach is even Bizarre even for Daiyu.

Jia Qing was surprised: "Isn't this a big enough scene?" Count carefully, how many people have come to celebrate your birthday today? Let's say five or six hundred! In our family, except for the old lady's birthday, who can invite so many people? ”

Daiyu snorted: "It turns out that your so-called big scene is to count how many mouths for eating!" ”

"This is natural, and a lot of people is called a big scene!"

Daiyu pouted. On the surface, she disdained Jia Qing's simple and crude methods, but in fact, her heart was full of warmth.

As Jia Qing said, she had never seen such a "big" birthday banquet.

Tanchun hesitated for a long time, but then turned his head to Jia Qing and said, "Second brother, is it really proper for us to do this today?" ”

"Oh, the third sister thinks something is wrong."

Jia Qing's voice was slightly flattened. Those who are familiar with him know that Jia Qing is a little unhappy.

Xue Baochai and Tanchun sat together and quietly pulled her. In fact, Baochai also wanted to ask this question, and they also went to this mansion today to find out about it, and they were taken aback at the time, and this question has long existed.

But Baochai knew that Jia Qing had wasted such thoughts, and even withstood the pressure from Jia's mother, just to give Daiyu a "big birthday". At this time, he must have liked to listen to words of joy and joy. That's why she couldn't help but speak.

Tanchun didn't mean this, which was why she hesitated before. But she only spoke out of selflessness, and she understood Jia Qing's personality, and she didn't really get angry with her because she said such a disagreeable thing.

Therefore, she continued: "Since ancient times, the distinction between respect and inferiority, master and servant, cannot be crossed. In our big family, among the servants, there are those who have worked hard and made great achievements, and they have been favored by the master's family, such as giving them a seat alone, so as to show the honor of these people in the family, and attract everyone to follow suit, this is the way to govern the family, and both grace and power are emphasized.

However, like the second brother today, Pu Shi Kindness, regardless of the merit of the family, the age of the young, and the depth of seniority, are all given to the table. Isn't that a mess of reward and punishment? And there is a saying: Shengmien, fighting Mi hatred, although most of these people in our house are good, but it is inevitable that there will be those who hold grudges and do not care about kindness. The second brother made an example this time, if he is a little stricter in the future, or if he fails to ask for it, won't people be irritable and difficult to control? In the long run, there will inevitably be those treacherous people who have no dignity, no humility, no master and no servant. The second brother is now the head of the family, and these things should be eliminated as much as possible, so as not to happen in the future and everyone will be sad. ”

Tanchun said that she wanted to avoid hurting her feelings, but in fact, her words were the most hurtful, but fortunately, there were no people on the left and right.

However, Tanchun's words are very pertinent and realistic.

Since ancient times, it is not uncommon for slaves to bully their masters and subordinates to praise and step on the low in big families. In the final analysis, it's just those minions who think they are "noble", and even "noble" over those unpowerful masters, so it's okay even if they bully them.

Tanchun is worried that Jia Qing has raised the hearts and minds of these people in the house, and it will be difficult to restrain them in the future.

Jia Qing looked at Tanchun for three seconds, and suddenly smiled: "The third sister is not wrong at all about saying this to a benevolent gentleman like the second uncle, but it's a pity that it's useless to me." In my house, no matter who he is, no matter how cunning he is, as long as he is cunning but I go, I can easily destroy him, where will I give him a chance to make trouble? ”

Tanchun was stunned by Jia Qing's words. She was still wondering who the "second uncle" was? My dad? And what does it mean to "destroy him"?

Unexpectedly, Baochai suddenly laughed.

"I think the third sister is also too worried, looking at his appearance, I guess I am worried that the people in the house are too honest and don't give him a chance to deal with it. I've only been here for two years, and I don't know how many times I've heard people in your house talk in private, saying that he doesn't show affection, and good people say they will send it out. I heard that there are many fewer people in his house now than I didn't know before, so it seems that he is not satisfied. Look at what you say, where there is a little human touch. ”

Baochai is equivalent to translating Jia Qing's meaning to everyone. To put it simply, it means that Jia Qing is not emotional.

Jia Qingqing said, of course: "Originally, I give them honor now, so that they can remember their duties more and do things well."

If anyone dares to rely on the old and sell the old and lose their duty, don't blame me for dealing with it. At this time, come and tell me about his affection, and I will let him know that his affection is worth nothing in my eyes.

Just like the imperial court, usually high-ranking officials are raised by Houlu, but if anyone is spoiled and spoiled, and does something that endangers the court, it is not a family that should be raided, and a head that should be killed, who will be found to intercede? If you want to be emotional, you should do your duty to do things well and beautifully, at this time you come to me, even if you call me a brother, this is the real love. So the kind of affection you said about the third sister is not a constraint on my family governance at all, so there is no need to worry. ”

Jia Qing's words made Tanchun and others look sideways. It's not that they haven't heard of cold-blooded family governance, but saying it so generously like Jia Qing still has a sense of impact on them. Because in Jiafu, whether it is Jia's mother, Mrs. Wang or Jia Zheng, they are all very affectionate, and the old people in the mansion, just like Mama Lai, who dares not to give her three points of thin noodles?

As a result, her two sons became the governors of the two prefectures before Jia Qing made a fortune. And there is a lack of effective supervision and deterrence, so it is really difficult for them to make these two brothers abide by the servant way.

"Okay, don't forget that today is for Sister Lin's birthday, what do you keep talking about. Everyone should eat and drink, and watch the play, but don't forget, you will have to give gifts later! You can't eat and drink for nothing.

Those maids are exempt, and it will be my treat. But you are all rich men, and you cannot eat the overlord's meal. ”

As soon as he heard Jia Qing's words, Jia Baoyu suddenly said, "Didn't you already give it yesterday?" Do you want to give it today? ”

He didn't expect this stubble at all, and he didn't prepare.

Jia Qing suddenly glanced at him with disgust, swished out a box from his arms, and said triumphantly: "If you don't care about Sister Lin, you can't give it." ”

Jia Qing: This is too hateful. Originally, it was given yesterday, and if you have a birthday today, it can only be regarded as a two-day birth, which is not only a birth, but where is it used to give two gifts?

It's just that he had premeditated, if he was the only one who sent it, and no one else moved, it wouldn't look like that.

Daiyu looked at Jia Qing's appearance, and couldn't see that he was deliberately commanding everyone's army. But she still didn't hesitate to take it, she also wanted to see who among these people was "sincere" to her!
