Chapter 489: Family Pickets
Jia Qing didn't stay in Wang Xifeng's house for long, he really just looked at Qiao'er in the shaker.
However, Jia Qing could still see that Wang Xifeng threw him a resentful look that seemed to be smiling when he was leaving......
After returning to Ningguo's Mansion, Jia Qing first went to explore Cuiliu, then went to the steward's room of the back house, found the You family, and summoned Fu Huiwen, who temporarily commanded the escort team, as well as several housekeepers such as Lai Sheng's family and Liu Tian's family, to the meeting room.
"Pickets?"
You Shi opened his eyes and asked in surprise.
The same color shines in the eyes of others. The second master is too good at tossing, and it didn't take long to get a guard team, and he had to make such a show in the inner house...... The pickets, just listen to the name, you know that it is something to find fault with, and if you keep it like this, the second master is going to squeeze the authority in their hands clean!
There were a few housekeepers who had lost their prestige after Jia Qing took charge of the house, and the mother-in-law thought to herself.
"To be precise, it should be called a picket detachment, which belongs to the convoy, but not to its jurisdiction. In fact, this picket team was not only aimed at the back house, but also the front house, and was responsible for supervising all personnel affairs inside and outside the Manchu Mansion and maintaining a clean atmosphere.
It's not a whim of mine, I've been planning to do so for a long time! Our Jiafu, the family is big, and the people in the house are all high-spirited, which I know, especially now that our eldest lady is honored as a noble concubine, and the first palace is always taken, our family is full of flowers and brocade, and wealth is extreme. However, the more this happens, the more caution is needed. Since ancient times, the misbehavior of the family of relatives has caused trouble, and it is not uncommon for concubines to be affected. Once that time comes, no matter how big the family business is, it will be reduced to nothingness in an instant! At that time, the whole family, from the master and the young lady, down to the slave girl, was a luxury! ”
Everyone looked at each other, although they didn't know why Jia Qing wanted to say such a terrifying thing in the happy season, but when they thought of that kind of tragic disaster, several people still couldn't help but shudder.
"Therefore, for the sake of Jiafu, for the sake of Niangniang, and for our long-term wealth and glory, I have to strictly rectify the family rules, and at the moment when Jiafu is moving towards a more glorious moment, I will restrain everyone in Ningguofu with higher requirements!
From this day forward, I will select ten people from the Escort Team to form the Family Picket. In imitation of the Imperial Metropolitan Procuratorate, every member of the picket team is qualified to report to the person in charge of the picket team and even to me on all matters in the house, no matter how big or small. ”
After listening to Jia Qing's words, some people couldn't sit still at all, isn't this obviously aimed at their housekeeper's daughter-in-law! Originally, the addition of such a "Inspector Yamen" made them unhappy, who knew that with such an important duty, Jia Qing actually did not use the "loyal and reliable" old men in the house at all, but used those little girls who had just been recruited and could only dance with knives and swords.
How can this work!
"Since the second master thinks that this picket team is useful, then we should choose those old and serious people from our house to serve as them, how can we let those stinky hairy girls take on this big responsibility? If something goes wrong, wouldn't it be against the hard work of the second master? ”
"That is, even if we want to use it, we have to use our own people, how can we let outsiders manage us......"
"It's ......"
Looking at the exhortation on the faces of these housekeepers and mothers-in-law in front of him who were thinking about him, Jia Qing was not moved at all. Don't look at these people who have been respectful to him before, and have never sung against him, but now that he wants to put a tight spell on their heads, how will they be willing to accept it?
It's just, what if you are unwilling? Governing a family is like governing the country, especially governing a big family like Jiafu with hundreds or thousands of people, it will not work just by talking about human feelings!
Family rules and discipline must be strictly enforced, so the establishment of a picket team is imperative! The reason why the people who use the escort team is that they are all young girls, and it is better to train them to become qualified pickets. Second, they have the ability to perform their duties, and they are not the "old fritters" in the house, and the execution effect will undoubtedly be much better.
After the mother-in-law's voice became quieter, Jia Qing said indifferently: "How to govern the family, I have my own reason." I called you here, not to listen to your opinions, but to tell you about it, and then cooperate with the rest of the work. ”
Jia Qing's unreasonable words were really effective. Several mothers-in-law smiled wryly and obediently shut up.
"Sister-in-law, you will have to worry more about this picket in the future."
"Second uncle, just rest assured, I will do everything the picket team needs, big and small, according to your wishes......"
You thought that Jia Qing was asking her to help arrange the food and clothing of the picket's house, which was her business, so she naturally agreed.
"Well, that's good, but you don't have to do it all according to my will, since I let my sister-in-law you be in charge of the picket, that is, let my sister-in-law strictly manage the affairs of the house in accordance with the family rules and family law, and the eldest sister-in-law should be punished, as long as it can play the role of the picket, then it's fine, why bother to follow my will everywhere."
As soon as Jia Qing's words were finished, Liu Tianjia and the others looked at You Shi one after another, feeling that Jia Qing was so serious as he said before, in the end, this matter still had to be handed over to You Shi. They don't know You's temperament yet, that is, if you can not offend people, you must not offend people, and you are well versed in the way of doing things wisely and guardingly. If the pickets were in her hands, it didn't seem to be too unpleasant.
You Shi also didn't expect it at all, the body sitting on the chair leaned forward, and said: "I haven't heard of this before, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to hand it over to me, it's better for the second uncle to hand it over to a more appropriate person......
"Sister-in-law doesn't have to be too humble. Over the years, my sister-in-law has handled our family's affairs very well, which is obvious to all. Moreover, the pickets are set up for the purpose of cleaning up the atmosphere in the house, and they have constraints on the large and small personnel in the house, needless to say, if they are handed over to others, they will inevitably have constraints on your sister-in-law, and if they are handed over to your sister-in-law, they can form a top-down deterrent, which is beneficial to your sister-in-law's governance. Therefore, this matter is only suitable if it is left to my sister-in-law. ”
"This .......," You hesitated. The existence of the picket will affect the status of her housekeeper grandmother She didn't understand, she even thought that Jia Qing's move was to strengthen his authority in the mansion, but she didn't expect Jia Qing to trust her as always.
If the pickets are in her hands, then I am afraid that no one in the palace will dare to interfere with her openly in the future!
Jia Qing saw from You Shi's thoughtful eyes that she had agreed, and knew that she had always been a cautious person, and she did not rush, but went directly to the next topic.
......
I saw that the sun was about to set.
In the pulp washing yard in the backyard of Ning'an Hall in Ningguo Mansion, seven or eight mothers-in-law on duty also cleaned up the territory they were responsible for early, and they could go home to rest as soon as the time came.
"Mother Liu, this is ...... here"
The sudden sound of talking at the gate of the courtyard attracted everyone's attention, and then a group of people rushed in.
"Yo, isn't this Sister-in-law Liu, why do you have time to come here today."
Mrs. Li is the head of this pulp washing room, and when she saw Liu Tian's family leading a large group of people into the house, she immediately stepped forward and said carelessly.
Liu Tian's family glanced at Mrs. Li and the others with disgust, she could be assigned to a place like the pulp washing room, she was the most dishonorable person in the house, and she would not come to it if she was free.
"Take it all!"
"Ah, sister-in-law Liu, what the hell is going on? Why are you arresting us? ”
It's a pity that Liu Tian's family didn't answer Mrs. Li's doubts, so she walked out of the courtyard first, and behind her, she brought her own rough envoy to escort Mrs. Li and others away.
