The Rebirth of Madam Wang

Wang Zixuan looked at Jia Mu's face that was getting darker, and said cautiously: "It stands to reason that this kind of thing shouldn't bother the ancestors, but it's not a day or two for servants to eat wine, gamble, or even steal. To be honest. You said that when the daughter-in-law was in charge of the house, such things happened, but the daughter-in-law thought that the big things would be turned into small things, so she just said a few words."

Mother Jia heard what Wang Zixuan said about Mrs. Fei, and she was already half dead with anger, and said, "I usually say that you are kind-hearted, and you just turn a blind eye to everything. Those housekeepers are getting more and more rampant."

Wang Zixuan looked ashamed, lowered her head and said, "It's my daughter-in-law who is confused."

Mother Jia sighed, and gave the second daughter-in-law a step down, "It's not all your fault, you are in charge of the house by yourself, and you do dozens of things a day, and you naturally take care of the big things in human relationships. There are people who neglect things.”

Wang Zixuan smiled embarrassedly, "My daughter-in-law is clumsy, she can take care of one side but not the other."

Jia Mu said: "Don't talk about you, now three people are in charge of the house, and we two are watching from behind. Isn't this what happened? Those slaves are really annoying. They take the master's money all day long." , relying on the dignity of the master, he does not do any of the official business, but does all the crooked things. It's fine at home, but if it goes outside, people don't know how to laugh at our Rongguo Mansion for having no rules."

Wang Zixuan said: "What the old ancestor said is very true, why not take advantage of this reason and rectify it properly."

Jia Mu nodded and said, "It's nothing else. Just these housekeepers, you have to beat them hard. You don't care who they belong to. As long as they are not useful, they will be punished." She thought After thinking about it, he added: "If someone refuses to accept it, let her come to me."

This is naturally Mrs. Xing, Wang Zixuan said with a smile: "My daughter-in-law thinks that there is no need to make such an unpleasant scene, but it makes our family feel uncomfortable."

"Then what do you say?" Mother Jia asked.

"The daughter-in-law thinks, it's better to release those useless old people out of several houses. Firstly, we have done a good deed by giving them a favor. Secondly..." Wang Zixuan couldn't help sighing, "Don't look at our house from the outside. The scenery is as decent as before, but the inside is not as good as before, and the harvests of several villages are not as good as year after year, so we should be more frugal, after all, there will be more places to spend money in the future."

Jia's mansion has not yet been reduced to the point where they want to pawn off the things in the house, so it is still too late for her to propose frugal housekeeping.

Jia's mother didn't take Wang Zixuan's words seriously. In her impression, Jia's mansion was still the mansion of the Duke of the State where "white jade was used as a horse for the king's gold". Can't afford it.

"It's not necessary to release it, maybe it will be useful in the future."

Wang Zixuan knew that her mother-in-law didn't listen to her words, so she sighed: "Why doesn't my daughter-in-law want to be rich and honorable, but these years, the housekeeper and the daughter-in-law look at the account book every year, and the income is getting less and less every year. The sales have not decreased at all. Firstly, there are more people, and the food and clothing expenses of sisters and brothers are indispensable; It’s fine to pay back the money, what’s more important is that what they take in private is several times more than the monthly money.”

"There are so many?" It was not a big deal for the servants to get some money, but Jia's mother never expected that there would be so many.

"Not to mention anything else, let's just talk about Zhou Rui, the daughter-in-law's companion, who went out with the master and brought back a lot. His daughter-in-law is dressed in gold and silver, and has maids to serve her, which is more respectable than us masters. The daughter-in-law has long wanted to drive them out, but after all, they are people who have served her for so many years, and the daughter-in-law has never been able to bear it, but if she really wants to clean up, first of all, their family must be left behind." Since her rebirth, she has treated Zhou Rui's family Those faces who are used to please and behave themselves are getting more and more disliked. If they keep them, they will get into trouble for themselves one day in the future, so it is better to dismiss them earlier.

Mother Jia glanced at her daughter-in-law in disbelief, seeing her calm expression, she couldn't help sighing in her heart, she didn't expect this Wang family to be so knowledgeable, Ji Yueguangfeng, she used to underestimate her.

So, Jia Mu pondered for a moment and said: "You are so sensible, just do as you want, let's keep the Lai family and Lin Zhixiao's family first, and let those who are not very useful at ordinary times and are used to please and behave well, not obey their orders." Yes, let it all go."

Wang Zixuan said with a smile: "My ancestors are wise, but now I don't know how they are grateful to my ancestors."

Seeing Wang Zixuan's eyes, Jia's mother was a little more appreciative, and said: "This is not your reminder, I should thank you if I want to thank you."

At this time, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old maidservant next to Jiamu came in to pour tea.

When Jia Mu saw it, she laughed and said, "All the maids in the house are released to match people when they are old. It's not good to keep the girls."

The servant girl's face turned red when she heard the words, and she hurriedly backed out with her head down.

Jia Mu said again: "Everyone is aggrieved. Those who should use eight should use six, those who should use six should use four, and those who should use four should use two."

Jia's mother's words echoed Wang Zixuan's thoughts, "How dare we talk about grievances? Those whose families don't even have enough to eat can live their lives as usual. It's just a way of living for the rich and the way of living for the poor. The family inherits the title of general, so there is no need to put on the pomp of the Duke's mansion."

Although what she said was not very nice, it made sense. Mother Jia said with some regret: "Since the great grandfather left, our family is not as decent as before. People often say that the four families of Jinling, Jia Shiwang Xue , our family is the most honorable, but now, although the two nephews of our historian are not important positions in the court, they still have a bit of dignity in front of the Holy One. Well, the Xue family is also a millionaire, but our Jia family has no one to talk to in the court."

It is rare for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to speak so confidingly, and Wang Zixuan also relaxed, removed the dignified and calm mask on her face, frowned and said: "The world is peaceful today, the Holy One values ​​civility over military affairs, and the two historians are both civil servants. Naturally, he must be entrusted with important use. My brother has been friends with the Holy One since he was a child, and it is inevitable to be trusted by the Holy One. Although the Xue family is still rich and noble, but according to my sister, it is not as good as before. As for our family, the Eldest Master and the people outside We haven't seen each other for a year, and you know our master's temperament, and he stays in the Ministry of Industry, even if there is a chance for promotion in the future, it will not be an important position."

"That's not it." Mother Jia rubbed the center of her brows, "After thinking about it, our family has to rely on these young ones. Let's see how Zhuer is doing this time. I don't ask for anything else. I can get a Juren , let his uncle help in the future, and find a better job."

Wang Zixuan said: "Zhu'er has worked hard since she was a child, and she is also decent in dealing with people in the world. If she can get a good reputation in the exam, she will not be bad in the future."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law made some plans for these juniors. At noon, Mrs. Xing came, and Jia's mother didn't say a word about Mrs. Fei, but said that she would let the family out.

"Let Feng girl and Li Shi write the list, you two sisters-in-law just read it."

Everyone agreed, and that afternoon, Wang Xifeng and Li Wan made a list, including the family of the old lady's chaperone, Baoyu's Nanny Zhang's family, Mrs. Xing's chaperone Fei's family, and Wang Zixuan's chaperone Zhou Rui. The family, and a few girls aged seventeen or eighteen were also released.

Mrs. Xing saw that she was not biased, and she couldn't say anything, so she agreed.

The servants in these rooms know that those who are not respectable in the mansion are eager to go out earlier, and thank you for coming to kowtow to Jiamu and Wang Zixuan. happy.

Zhou Rui's family hurriedly came to beg Wang Zixuan, but Wang Zixuan said that she was not healthy and didn't want to see anyone, so she only gave her 40 taels of silver.

Zhou Rui's family didn't care about a few tens of taels of silver, so they went to beg Li Wan again, thinking that Grandma Zhu had always been a living Bodhisattva, so there was no reason not to agree.

Unexpectedly, Li Wan felt that Zhou Rui's family was talkative early on, and he didn't like it in his heart, so how could he respond.Seeing that there was no way out, Zhou Rui's family had no choice but to take the money rewarded by Wang Zixuan and take the whole family to seek a living elsewhere.
