Chapter 125 Burdened by Power
I heard that Chen Yu was punished by Li Jiancheng to kneel.
Guanyin didn't seem too surprised.
She asked the squire, "For what?"
Seeing that Shiqin was still standing, she pointed to her side,
"You move a bed and sit down, and tell me what happened."
------
Last year, after Zheng Guanyin became pregnant with a child, she followed Chen Yu's advice and selected Ji Xue as Li Jiancheng's concubine.
There are two or three small courtyards on the landlord's side of the west courtyard.
One is used as the inner courtyard study room built by Li.
One place was arranged for Ji Xue to live, and the other was empty.
Soon after Ji Xue became a concubine, Li Jiancheng received the news of the death of his mother, Mrs. Dou.
Since then, he has arranged his life according to the rules of filial piety.
After starting to keep filial piety, Li Jiancheng did not go to the courtyard where Ji Xue lived.
It can be said that Ji Xue guarded the empty room as soon as she became a concubine.
------
Chen Yu saw that Ji Xue was not pregnant with a child and was not favored, so she didn't take Ji Xue in her eyes.
She was obsessed with ghosts, greedy, and often deducted Ji Xue's food and clothing.
Ji Xue has a docile personality and doesn't want to make trouble, so she has endured it.
When Zheng Guanyin gave birth to a child, Chen Yu felt that Ji Xue had no chance to be favored.
She saw that Ji Xue was easy to bully, so she intensified her efforts and took most of the things that should be given to Ji Xue for herself.
------
It's March, and it's time to get your summer clothes ready.
According to the practice of the Tang State Mansion, according to different identities, the people in the mansion were given corresponding grades of yarn to make summer clothes.
Chen Yu saw that Ji Xue's yarn was better than her own, so she secretly replaced the two of them.
The slaves and maids who followed Ji Xue all grew up in the Tang State Mansion.
What kind of material should be made of Jixue, they know it in their hearts.
found that the yarn was changed, Ji Xue's slave was indignant, so she said to Ji Xue:
"The more the lady forbears, the more Chen Yu thinks that you are a bully, and if this continues, we will never turn over."
"I also married with Mrs. Zheng, why should you be afraid of her?"
------
Ji Xue also felt that it was not a way to endure it like this, so she asked Li Jiancheng to cry and complain about how Chen Yu had treated her in the past year.
Li Jiancheng was extremely angry when he heard this, and asked people to go to the house where Chen Yu lived and found many things that should have been distributed to Ji Xue.
In front of the physical evidence, Chen Yu could not deny it, and confirmed the fact that she detained Ji Xue.
According to the rules of the Tang State Mansion, he should have beaten twenty boards, driven out of the mansion, and put them outside on the Zhuangzi to be a cultivator.
But after all, she is Zheng Guanyin's nurse, and she is the person who came with the Zheng family, and only Zheng Guanyin has the right to dispose of it.
------
Zheng Guanyin pleaded with Li Jiancheng.
Li Jiancheng hindered Zheng Guanyin's face, so he did not punish too heavily.
Waived Chen Yu a board and punished her to kneel in front of her door for a day.
He told Zheng Guanyin that either he would send Chen Yu back to the Zheng family, or she would not interfere in any affairs of the inner courtyard in the future.
Zheng Guanyin had to nod in agreement.
She reprimanded Chen Yu and punished her for kneeling in front of her door and thinking about it.
------
Without Chen Yu's assistance, Zheng Guanyin became a loner in the inner courtyard.
Guanyin expected that in a few days, Zheng Guanyin should discuss the matter of taking care of the inner courtyard with herself.
Sure enough, on the second day, Zheng Guanyin came to Li Shimin's courtyard to visit the door.
Guanyin asked Zheng Guanyin to sit down on the Luohan bed,
In front of the two of them, they each poured a cup of ginger and red date tea.
Zheng Guanyin and Guanyin talked about the current situation in the inner courtyard.
Speaking of taking care of the feed, Zheng Guanyin's face was sad, and she couldn't help but sigh,
"These days, my heart is too tired to work."
-------
Guanyin gave Zheng Guanyin an idea,
"The affairs of the inner courtyard are actually very easy to manage."
"The key is that you learn to use people."
Zheng Guanyin looked helpless,
"I don't even know anyone in the inner court, who do you want me to use?"
Guanyin looked at Zheng Guanyin's sad face, and she couldn't help but want to laugh in her heart.
She laughed and teased Zheng Guanyin,
"Sister-in-law, you are now like holding a priceless treasure in your hand, but you are empty and in tattered clothes."
"You now have the power to distribute power, but you don't know it."
------
Zheng Guanyin wondered, "What is the power to distribute power?"
Guanyin used rhetorical questions to inspire Zheng Guanyin,
"Is it up to you to decide who is going to do what errands in this inner court?"
Zheng Guanyin nodded, "It stands to reason that I should have the final say."
"But they won't listen, so what can I do?"
Guanyin reminded Zheng Guanyin,
"Every errand is a right you have granted."
"If there is disobedience, you will stop her errand."
------
Zheng Guanyin took into account the current situation and was worried about the authenticity,
"If I don't obey, won't I stop everyone's errands?"
Guanyin smiled Zheng Guanyin simple,
"Sister-in-law, you reversed this."
"Don't think about whether these slaves are willing to obey or not."
"Think about it first, is there anyone who wants to lose their errand?"
------
Zheng Guanyin pondered for a moment, and asked instead of answering,
"Who wants to lose his errand? How can you support yourself without errands?"
Guanyin nodded, inspiring Zheng Guanyin,
"That's right. You have to know what everyone is afraid of."
"What they are afraid of is your bargaining chip to make them obedient."
"Let every slave know that you can easily stop their errands."
"There are thousands of people in the world who can do things, and you can find any random person to take on her errand."
------
Zheng Guanyin asked Guanyin,
"How do I make them all afraid of me?"
Guanyin looked at Zheng Guanyin with firm eyes,
"You must first establish your authority, and you may first stop the errand of a disobedient person."
"This is called killing chickens and monkeys, killing a hundred people."
"Whoever shows signs of disobedience, you can reprimand and warn."
"Let her feel terrified, make her feel that her errand is handled in uncertainty."
------
In the end, Guanyin told Zheng Guanyin loudly,
"When you have no choice, you can still fight, you can still kill."
Hearing Guanyin say that she could fight and kill, Zheng Guanyin's heart trembled a little,
"How do I do this?"
Guanyin showed her the way again,
"If you can't do it, you can entrust someone else to do it, which is out of sight and out of mind."
Zheng Guanyin nodded timidly,
"It seems that this is the only way."
"But where do I go to find such a ruthless person?"
Guanyin laughed out loud this time,
"Sister-in-law, you are too kind-hearted to eat fasting and chanting Buddha."
"If you don't be ruthless, how can you manage these two hundred people?"
------
Zheng Guanyin looked like he wanted to retreat,
"Why do I bother with this idleness, I can't sleep all day and night."
Guanyin reminded her to recognize her identity,
"If you marry an uncle, you are destined to this idleness."
"Marry uncle, without aunt, you are the wife of the Tang State Mansion."
"If you are a clan woman, you have to be responsible for taking care of the middle feed, and there is no one else who can replace it."
------
Zheng Guanyin looked at Guanyin expectantly,
"Since I can't put it off, my sister said what should I do in the future? You help me come up with ideas."
Guanyin gave her an analysis,
"Of these inner courts, are there only five in total?"
"The east and west go to the house, and the three courtyards of our brothers."
"The others have kitchens, storerooms, porters, and sprinklers."
Zheng Guanyin nodded, thinking that Guanyin was right.
------
Guanyin continued,
"Each of these five houses has its own master, as well as a slave and maid who lead the class."
"There are stewards everywhere."
"For the affairs of each house, you only need to communicate with the slave maid."
"All that's left is to take charge of the stewards of several servants."
"You only need to manage these dozen people, and they will assign and manage the specific things."
"In this inner court, big and small, things will be in order."
------
Zheng Guanyin still thinks things are not easy to do,
"It's easy to say, but it's not easy to do."
"What I'm most afraid of is that these stewards can't decide something, let me give them ideas."
Guanyin said to Zheng Guanyin:
"If you want to be too troublesome, use the method I told you."
"Entrust it to someone who has the power and you believe in it."
Zheng Guanyin hurriedly asked Guanyin,
"Then my sister will take care of it for me."
Guanyin shook her head,
"I can't, that would make people gossip."
"But I can recommend two of them to you."
Zheng Guanyin was a little impatient,
"Who did my sister say recommend?"
------
Guanyin was not in a hurry, she picked up the bowl and took a sip of ginger and red date tea.
Then looked at Zheng Guanyin and emphasized word by word,
"You must first have a person who is familiar with the situation in the house, has prestige, and is capable."
Zheng Guanyin nodded,
"I've been married for a year, but I still don't know a few people in the inner court."
"I just woke up when you said this, but it's just that things are not easy to handle, mainly because I don't understand the situation in the house."
"Sister, who do you think is the most suitable person?"
Guanyin asked Zheng Guanyin, "Sister-in-law, do you remember Concubine Feng?"
Zheng Guanyin thought for a while, "Is it the old woman who dared to contradict the fourth uncle last year?"
Guanyin said, "It's her."
"When you give birth, she is busy with it."
"This man is extremely capable and reassuring."
------
Zheng Guanyin is a person who is extremely reluctant to worry.
When she saw Guanyin recommending Feng Yu, she directly agreed,
"I don't know anyone else, since you think Feng Fei is suitable, it's Feng Fei."
Guanyin's maid is different from Zheng Guanyin's idea.
Since you recommend Feng Yu, you have to make Zheng Guanyin trust her and reuse her.
She wanted Zheng Guanyin to understand the reason for recommending Feng Yu.
------
Guanyin introduced the reason for recommending Feng Yu to Zheng Guanyin.
She told Zheng Guanyin that this Feng Concubine turned out to be a personal slave who followed Mrs. Dou and won the trust of Mrs. Dou.
Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin grew up under the watchful eye of Feng Fei.
They all value Feng Yu very much and respect her a little.
Feng Yu has lived in the Tang Mansion for a long time, and she knows the situation of the inner and outer courtyards well, and she is also very familiar with people.
When Mrs. Dou was alive, Concubine Feng was almost her spokesperson.
Those servants and slaves had both respect and fear for Feng Yu, and no one dared to offend.
So, now let her step in to take care of the matter.
One is that she has the ability to do this, and the other is that she can suppress the subordinates in the house.
------
After listening to Guanyin's introduction to Feng Yu, Zheng Guanyin couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Guanyin was a caring person.
The two basically entered the house at the same time, and Zheng Guanyin was a month earlier than Guanyin.
I am in the house, and now I am still in the dark, and I don't know much about the situation in the house.
And Guanyin is aware of all kinds of things, and even the situation of the personnel is clearly understood.
Zheng Guanyin felt that he was really ashamed of himself compared to Guanyin.
After Guanyin's introduction, Zheng Guanyin was already convinced that Feng Yu could do it.
------
She was even more anxious to know who the other person Guanyin recommended to her was.
Guanyin then said to Zheng Guanyin,
"There's a guy who can get things done. You also need someone who believes the most."
"You have to have a good henchman. She is your eyes and ears."
"With this person you trust the most, others will not dare to deceive you and deceive you."
"You'll be able to grasp the real situation in the house."
Zheng Guanyin heard Guanyin say this, and he also knew that it was very important to have such a person.
While thinking in her heart, she said to herself,
"Who is this person I trust the most?"
