Fun Kan Red Chamber 276: The mother is stupid, disturbing right and wrong for Xiao Li, the daughter is shrewd, and the big righteousness does not allow private feelings
It is said that Jia Tanchun was appointed by Lady Wang to assist in the Rongguo Mansion, and the first major event he encountered was the death of Zhao Guoji, the brother of his birth mother, Aunt Zhao, and the master wanted to give a reward.
The accounting room Wu Xindeng's family went to report to Lady Wang, and Lady Wang instructed Jia Tanchun and Li Feng to come up with ideas. It is undoubtedly a test.
Wu Xindeng's "slaves bully the young master" only reported the situation and did not make suggestions, just to see how Tanchun would deal with it.
If you handle it well, you have nothing to say, and if you handle it well, you will make her look good.
The reward after the death of Aunt Zhao's brother became a difficult problem for the whole family to investigate Jia Tanchun. Madame Wang's investigation was reasonable, but what did those slaves of Wu Xindeng's family rely on?
At that time, the slaves raised by Jia's livestock no longer respected their masters. Diao Nu's bad intentions and wanted to give TanChun a horse, which can be seen from this.
However, Jia Tanchun grasped the key points with his excellent management ability and asked about the family rewards of the old aunt and grandmother in The original Jia Mother's room of Wu Xindeng's family.
The Wu family could not remember it for a long time, and was disgraced by the fact that the First Army was disgraced by the Tang Chun rebellion, and obediently handed over the account book and was disgraced.
The Jia family has its own old practice of rewarding concubines such as Aunt Zhao, and those who are not born outside the family should be rewarded with forty-two pieces of silver. Special circumstances are additionally rewarded. The birth of a family child is twenty-two.
Aunt Zhao's origin is not clearly stated, but either the family has children or Mrs. Wang accompanies the room, all belong to the family. According to the old calendar, it was twenty-two. So Tanchun commanded, "Give him twenty-two pieces of silver." Leave this tent behind and we'll take a closer look. The Wu family took the order and went away in ashes.
Jia Tanchun's housekeeper was a hit, and no one dared to despise her anymore. This matter can only be regarded as the first appearance of the sharp edge, but the vision, mind and pattern displayed by Tanchun are already different, making people look forward to her future housekeeper. Unfortunately, no one expected to explore the spring butler, and the final result ended in failure, which is not mentioned here.
Wu Xindeng's family went out and gave Zhao Guoji's family a reward of twenty-two pieces of silver. The crowd had nothing to say. Aunt Zhao couldn't bear it.
Aunt Zhao was already three or two, and she did not dare to show off when Wang Xifeng was housekeeper. Now when she waits for her daughter to explore the spring housekeeper, she consciously raises her eyebrows and breathes. It happened that her brother was dead again, and she was full of thought that Tanchun should give a generous reward.
Not wanting to reward only twenty-two, Wu Xindeng's family was angry at Tanchun, and it was bound to provoke a few words, Aunt Zhao was stupid, and felt that her face could not be passed, so she angrily came to Jia Tanchun theory.
(Fifty-fifth time) Suddenly saw Aunt Zhao come in, and Li Yi was busy letting chun sit. Aunt Zhao said, "Everyone in this room has stepped on my head to pay it back." Girl, you also think about it, you should be angry for me. As he spoke, he cried with tears in his eyes. TanChun said busily, "I don't understand who my aunt said this." Who stepped on the aunt's head? Say it and I'll be angry for my aunt. Aunt Zhao said, "The girl is stepping on me now, who will I tell!" When Tanchun heard this, he stood up and said, "I don't dare." Li Feng also stood up and persuaded.
As soon as Aunt Zhao came, she said the wrong thing. Her words should not be said in front of everyone, but a "private love story" between mother and daughter. Although she said, "Everyone in this room has stepped on my head and gone to pay it back," it was her real situation in Madame Wang's room.
Aunt Zhao was not very old, and she was in her early thirties at that time. From the fact that she gave birth to Tanchun and Jia Huan in Jia Baoyu, it is certain that Lady Wang had three children after giving birth to Jia Baoyu, and only then did she find a concubine for Jia Zheng.
Jia Zheng gave birth to a son and a daughter with Aunt Zhao in succession, and slept in her room for a long time, representing that Aunt Zhao was very favored. This also caused Madame Wang to look at Aunt Zhao unfavorably.
Regarding the situation in Jia Zheng and Madame Wang's room, here is another sentence. Jia Zheng had a wife, two concubines, three sons, two daughters, and one grandson.
Lady Wang was a concubine and gave birth to Jia Zhu, Jia Yuanchun and Jia Baoyu. Jia Zhu gave birth to Jia Lan again.
Aunt Zhou was a concubine and had nothing to offer.
Aunt Zhao was a concubine, giving birth to Jia Tanchun and Jia Huan.
The reason why Aunt Zhou is ranked above Aunt Zhao is that after a man in a large family in ancient times married his wife, he must match at least one concubine.
Even if he was jealous like Wang Xifeng, he still left Jia Lian with Ping'er. Madame Wang could not be an exception.
Aunt Zhao was too young, and it was only possible that Aunt Zhou was the original concubine, similar to Lady Wang's age. That's why she's no longer favored.
Aunt Zhou is childless and unloved, and needs special attention. She had the same surname as Lady Wang's companion Zhou Rui, and Cao Xueqin could not have been so compatible.
It is speculated that Aunt Zhou is most likely Zhou Rui's sister. Their family married the Jia family with Lady Wang. Aunt Zhou was originally a concubine who was a dowry maid and then a concubine, just like Ping'er. Zhou Rui's family is a companion.
The existence of Aunt Zhou also explains the reason why the Zhou Rui family was favored and the daughter was able to forgive and marry Leng Zixing to become a free person.
However, Zhou Rui's favor was exchanged for Aunt Zhou's childless life. When Jia pardoned Mandarin Duck and Jia Mu scolded Madame Wang instead, we mentioned the hidden feelings behind it.
Jia pardoned Mandarin Duck for his daughter-in-law Wang Xifeng's jealousy of not letting Jia Lian take a concubine, and Jia Mu's laissez-faire inaction. Jia Mu angrily scolded Lady Wang for not scolding Lady Xing, because Wang Xifeng controlled Jia Lian's actions, just as Lady Wang controlled Jia Zheng.
Aunt Zhou is Ping'er, and the childless and childless are all because Lady Wang does not allow Jia Zheng to contact Aunt Zhou.
Lady Wang was luckier than Wang Xifeng, and she gave birth to two sons and a daughter in succession, and only then did she give Jia Zhengna's concubine Aunt Zhao for the sake of her virtuous name.
But the jealous character of the daughter of the Wang family has not changed! As soon as Aunt Zhao came to be favored, she gave birth to Jia Tanchun and Jia Huan, especially after Jia Zhu's death, Jia Huan posed a substantial threat to Jia Baoyu. Madame Wang's mentality changed and she began to internally squeeze and pressure Aunt Zhao.
Since Madame Wang had a heart, the slaves observed the wind and the wind, and did not need her to do it herself, and it was better to toss Aunt Zhao than to die. That's why she said, "Everybody in this room stepped on my head." When Wang Xifeng came, the situation was even more severe.
In fact, what Madame Wang did most was to ignore Jia Huan. It is said that Shuzi was also raised by her mother-in-law, and Lady Wang did not care to let Aunt Zhao teach Jia Huan badly. Wives and concubines are not in harmony, what is the child's guilt? Jia Huan was raised badly, very pitiful.
Aunt Zhao snot a handful of tears, Jia Tanchun naturally did not dare to take it, so she had to stand up and persuade Li Feng.
Aunt Zhao cried that it was not easy for her to give birth to Tanchun and Jia Huan, but she did not want to mix up and even attack people until now.
The raider was only a handmaiden, a concubine of Lady Wang's internal determination. When her mother died, she was given forty taels of silver, which was not in accordance with the rules. But Madame Wang's monopoly, as a bowl of water when the family is not flat, no one can say anything.
Aunt Zhao was a concubine and bore children for the Jia family. Her brother died, and the rule reward was twenty-two, and Jia Tanchun was not wrong as a housekeeper.
But Aunt Zhao thought that Jia Tanchun didn't care about her family, and she didn't ask much, since she had power, her "uncle" was gone, and giving a few more silver was not a word!
It is said that Aunt Zhao said it well. If this matter is handled by others, it should also be given more. After all, Aunt Zhao gave birth to a daughter and a son for Jia Zheng, which is different than Aunt Zhou and several old aunts and grandmothers in Jia's mother's room who did not have children.
Aunt Zhao wants to be decent, and it is not too much to say logically.
The problem was that Jia Tanchun was in charge for the first time, and the slaves were not convinced. The first thing is closely related to her. If she gives more money according to her feelings, it will be difficult to convince the public, talk about the housekeeper.
Therefore, giving more money is something that Madame Wang did, Wang Xifeng also did, and Jia Tanchun could not do it!
Again, rules are what needs to be followed. Madame Wang's reward of forty taels of silver was originally when the family took the lead in destroying the rules. But the original text does not say whether the money is from the officials or by Madame Wang herself. From Lady Wang to Liu Grandma one hundred and two, and every month she pays for two or two attackers, she rewards raiders forty-two should be out of her own hands, so as not to break the rules.
Jia Tanchun's best way was to reward twenty-two in the official, and she would give another part of herself, so that she would have the best of both worlds and not let Aunt Zhao make a fuss. The problem is that Tanchun is a girl, and she has no money to reward. Moreover, as the third lady of Jia Fu, she had no reason to reward slaves.
This leads to another question, Zhao Guoji is obviously the brother of Jia Tanchun's biological mother, why can't he let Jia Tanchun respect?
To find out what happens next, look at the next breakdown!
