Struggle of the Woman in the Red Chamber

Lai Sheng, the chief steward of the Ningguo Mansion, is also called Lai Er, because he has an older brother named Lai Da, who is the chief steward of the Rongguo Mansion, and their mother, Nanny Lai, who served the old master of the Jia Mansion at a young age. , and was also favored by Mrs. Shi.

Having said so much, I just want to say that Qin Tong wants to streamline the staff, and the hard-headed figure that cannot be avoided is the Second Chief Lai.Of course, Qin Tong didn't want to bypass him either.Anyone who reads the Red Chamber knows that the Lai family is the big moth of the Jia family, and it is not enough to get rid of him!

Especially when thinking of this great-great-grandson of the Ning family who is still called "Grandpa Lai", and thinking of the cute and foodie adopted son Xiao Jia Qiang in front of him, Qin Tong thinks that he can be sold to the Northwest Mining Kiln in a second. Work hard all your life...

Of course, Qin Tong is the head wife of the Ningguo Mansion. If he wants to move such a deep-rooted servant, he must have a reason, especially the Jia family has a bad habit of conniving servants, and they have raised many intricate and powerful "deputies." master".Therefore, in cutting redundant staff, one has to beware of the high-ranking servants who hold the power to unite and jump over the wall. After all, there are three children in the backyard. Therefore, Qin Tong had to let people out from the grassroots in the name of praying for the Ningguo Mansion. The vigilance of those big moths.

In addition, Qin Tong also set up more than a dozen reporting boxes in various parts of Ningguo Mansion following the modern example, and also solemnly stated that as long as the content of the report is true, the whistleblower can be promoted and raise his salary!One is to spread the word to supervise and investigate, and the other is to cause internal strife among the slaves... After all, in this deep house compound, the number of slaves is far greater than the number of masters, and Qin Tong is still very afraid that these slaves will unite. ···

The effect is quite obvious. After all, no matter how simple the ancient people are, as long as the platform is attractive enough, there are still many very self-motivated people, let alone those low-level slaves who were bullied by the "deputy masters" before. They even have a sense of comfort and revenge. Without Qin Tong saying more, they have found evidence and witnesses themselves. What Qin Tong has to do is to send these convincing suspects to Shun Tianfu.After all, she is a weak widow, let Master Qingtian uphold justice...

The old man Jia Jing still had some criticisms about Qin Tong's big move. It wasn't that he was moved by those servants who begged him for mercy, but, first, how can the family ugliness be publicized?Mrs. Jing thinks, slaves, no matter whether they should be beaten or killed, they should be dealt with in private, why bother to publicize it on the stage? , How can it show the grandeur and majesty of Ningguo Mansion?To put it simply, Mr. Jing Lao, who is a veteran honorable person, loves face very much!

But helplessly, he is a widower father-in-law, so it is not easy for him to meet and talk with the newly widowed daughter-in-law, so let the slaves spread the word. I don’t know if those dog slaves did not fully express his strong opinions, so he had to come to the daughter-in-law’s specious perfunctory words, For this reason, Jia Jing, who couldn't find the culprit to vent his anger, saved two meals...

I don’t know if it’s because of a big breath in my heart, even in the face of the opposition and condemnation of the whole family, even with the tearful accusations and abuse of Mrs. Shi, Jia Jing still insists on his own opinion and insists on dividing the clan. Some took out iron fists and divided the Jia family branch into two parts, those near Ningguo Mansion and those not near Ningguo Mansion, and completed the formalities at the Ministry of Rites with lightning speed...

What the Jia family is like, no one knows better than him, who has been the patriarch, so in Jia Jing's eyes, these pig teammates who will only slow down, except for those who can't be thrown out, Jia Jing will add Went to Rongguo Mansion.

When everyone in the Rongguo Mansion heard the news, they were stunned. They didn't expect that the family who had studied for so many years that "you can't write two Jias in one stroke" would really become two families... Afterwards, he was overjoyed, because the position of head of the Jia family was vacant!

In other words, when he learned that Jia Jing was handling the matter of branching the clan, Qin Tong was ready to talk to the wives of the Rongguo Mansion, but the left and right didn't come, Qin Tong was puzzled and thought that If something major happened in Rongguo Mansion, you can ask the people below to investigate, and the reply is that there is no, Qin Tong...

When the dust settled on the splitting of the two mansions, Qin Tong still didn't wait for the people from the Rong family to attack her, so Qin Tong had no choice but to act like a man from the Rong family and changed her style of doing things...

But I don't know, in the eyes of everyone in the Rong Mansion, Qin Tong, the head wife of the Ning Mansion, has the right to speak in the three acres of land in the backyard of the Ning Mansion, but in the outer court, in front of Jia Jing, she doesn't even have the right to speak No, so, people simply saved that point of saliva.

When the division of the two mansions was over, Qin Tong, as the object of complaints, could still call over to have a chat, but helplessly, for the position of the patriarch of the clan, the two masters of the Rong Mansion, Da Fang and Er Fang began a fierce battle The scale of conflicts and internal strife was even larger than when Erfang was allowed to live in Rongxitang a few years ago. Even Jiamu's threat to return to Jinling was useless, and it even alarmed the Wang family and historians.

Everyone should understand that although Erfang lived in the Rongxi Hall where only the family members of the Rongguo Mansion could live in, it was still in the name of serving Jia’s mother for convenience. To greet and see off, I have to say in advance that my elder brother is not in good health, so he, Jia Zheng, came forward.After all, no matter how incompetent Jia Amnesty is, he is also appointed by the emperor as the successor of the Rongguo Mansion, a hereditary first-class general.

But the position of patriarch is different, that is whoever has the strength will win, even if the blood of the direct line is defeated, it may be replaced by the side line. Therefore, Jia Zheng put all his strength on his own. Old life is also on the line.

Of course, one thing has to be explained, the Wang family is the Yue family of the second house, and the family who is closer to the Shi family is also the second house that Jia Mu prefers, so what the heads of the two families say is not so fair and fair.

Especially in Jia She's view, no matter how nice and pleasant the words of these two families are, they are clearly trying to squeeze him out.Therefore, Jia Amnesty, who was full of anger, also let go of his face and stopped being self-confident. He also had the Yue family, and that power was only strong but not weak, so he bowed his head and apologized to the former Yue family who had turned against each other.

Jia Amnesty bowed his head and begged for mercy, but he even sent the only son left by his original wife to the former Yue's family.Jia Amnesty made it clear and promised to the former Yue's family to help him win the position at this time. In fact, in the final analysis, it was to help Jia Lian.

Jia Amnesty, a worthless good-for-nothing, was so courageous once, and he was also pushed into a hurry.Before that, his prudish younger brother lived in the Rongxi Hall that belonged to him. Because of the big accusation of "unfilial piety" that Jiamu kept saying, and the explicit or covert support of the historians and the Wang family, he would retire no matter how unwilling he was. Take a step forward.

After all, Jia Amnesty is still the head of the Rongguo Mansion. If he is upset, he can call his prudish younger brother over and scold him to vent his anger.But now there is a vacancy for the patriarch, Jia She used his big toe to figure out what kind of "good life" he would have if his prudish younger brother became the patriarch, and even his big family would never have a bright future. Already...

No matter how much Jia Amnesty bowed his head and apologized, Jia Lian's grandfather and grandmother were not uncommon, but looking at the only blood left by their own daughter, the old couple were so cruel that they still couldn't let go, especially after the little Jia Lian kowtowed loudly. , the old couple had no choice but to hug their grandson into their arms with tears in their eyes...

Jia Lian, who is only 9 years old, is also in a very complicated mood. As long as he can remember, his father was an incompetent person who only drank and hugged his young wife. When he mentioned his mother who died early, the people around him looked like they kept secret for a long time. , he had no choice but to stop thinking about it.The kind of warmth he can enjoy comes from his grandmother and aunt, and when he meets his second uncle occasionally, it is mostly reprimanded. However, Jia Lian, who is wide-hearted, also feels satisfied. After all, it is also a teaching, and it is for his own good. It is better than that. It doesn't matter if he doesn't ask his biological father...

But suddenly, the world changed.He was treated coldly by his kind grandmother, and in the end he was pushed back to live in the big house. The gentle and kind aunt also saw that he had more white eyeballs than black ones, and the upright second uncle didn't seem to see him at all... ···

The nuns and maids who served him all said that it was because his useless father had suddenly committed left sex.Jia Lian was very ignorant, but subconsciously he felt that he was not on the side of his second uncle and aunt, and this matter did not seem to be that simple.

Sure enough, early in the morning, his father came to him.In the carriage, it was the first time Jia Lian saw his father's serious and prudent appearance. He said it was all for their eldest family, for Lian'er, and that Lian'er's mother was actually a good woman and wife...

Looking at the frowning and preoccupied father, Jia Lian thought, maybe he is still far away from growing up...

Jia Amnesty's former father-in-law's family was married to the Rongguo Mansion when it was in its heyday. It doesn't matter how powerful and rich it is, just look at their ability to handle affairs.Jia Lian's three uncles went out separately, and Jia She returned to the mansion after dinner. Jia Zheng's position as a fifth-rank member of the Ministry of Industry had already been removed.

Jia She stood in front of the hall with his hands behind his back, ignoring the hateful eyes behind him, looked up at the night sky full of stars, and seemed to see the woman with a gentle smile in a trance, Jia She thought, his son will always live with him from now on. Grandfather's house...
