Why did Madame Wang arrange for the Spring Festival Butler? You see what Tanchun said
In the fifty-fifth dream of the Red Chamber, just after the New Year, The housekeeper of the Rongguo Mansion, Grandma Wang Xifeng, had a small birth and needed to take a month's maternity leave to recuperate, although Wang Xifeng was still at home to help Madame Wang plan things during the vacation, but Mrs. Wang consciously lost her arm, plus there were more complicated things in the Rongguo Mansion, and Mrs. Wang was even more difficult to support, so she had to arrange for her daughter-in-law Li Feng to help. Who knew that Li Feng was a bodhisattva grandmother who did not take care of things, and the slaves at the bottom were not afraid of her, so Madame Wang had to arrange for Tan Chun and Li Feng to co-manage the house.
So why did Madame Wang arrange for the Spring Steward? You see what Tanchun said.
Madame Wang stood up hurriedly and did not dare to say a word. Aunt Xue saw that Lady Lian Wang was strange, but it was difficult to persuade her. As soon as Li Yi heard Mandarin Duck's words, he took the sisters out. People who have a heart to explore Chun, think that although Madame Wang has grievances, how dare to argue, Aunt Xue is also a sister, naturally it is not easy to argue, Bao Chao is not convenient to defend for her aunt, Li Feng, Sister Feng, Bao Yu do not dare to argue, this is the time when the girl is used, Yingchun is honest, Xi Chun is small, therefore, after listening to it outside the window, she walked in and smiled and said to Jia Mu: "What does this matter have to do with Mrs. Wang?" The old lady thinks about it, there are also big uncles who want to collect people in the house, how does the little sister-in-law know? I know, and I don't know. ”
Judging from this passage, Tanchun is a girl with high emotional intelligence and IQ, she grew up around her mother-in-law Wang and grandmother Jia Mu since childhood, although the book rarely writes About Madame Wang's attitude towards Tanchun, but from the perspective of Mrs. Wang's refusal of Wang Xifeng's proposal to lay off employees before the inspection of the Grand View Garden, Lady Wang loves the three ladies of Jia Fu the same, and does not deliberately snub Tanchun because of her dislike for Aunt Zhao.
For the dedication and love of Lady Wang, Tanchun is very grateful, and she has been looking for opportunities to repay her mother-in-law. Forty-sixth time in the Dream of the Red Chamber, Jia Mu forced Mandarin Duck to anger Lady Wang because of her eldest son Jia Pardon, and at this time, the people in the room did not dare to defend Lady Wang, and Lady Wang herself did not dare to defend. Tanchun felt that her opportunity to repay her mother-in-law had come, so she walked in and smiled at Jia Mu and said, "There are also big uncles who want to take in the people in the house, how does the little sister-in-law know?" ”。
Tanchun's words even gave Jia Mu a step down, and Jia Mu immediately smiled and said that she was old and confused, and asked Bao Yu to apologize to Madame Wang for her.
It is reasonable to say that the eldest son Jia pardoned the concubine, Jia Mu should not anger the daughter-in-law Lady Wang, but in the feudal society, the mother-in-law's family status is very high, even if this matter has nothing to do with Lady Wang, when Jia Mu accused her, Lady Wang did not dare to confront her mother-in-law, and had to endure in silence.
In fact, Jia Mu also knew that she had wrongly blamed Lady Wang, but she was a mother-in-law, and she could not take the initiative to apologize to her daughter-in-law. After Tanchun's words were said, it was different, it was equivalent to giving Jia Mu a step down, Jia Mu immediately asked Bao Yu to apologize to Lady Wang for herself, of course, Lady Wang did not dare to really let Bao Yu do it, so that the purpose of all parties was achieved, and it was not hurt and harmonious, and the family returned to a harmonious scene.
In this way, Lady Wang naturally had more gratitude for this daughter, and if Lady Wang's raising of Tanchun before was only a kind of mother-in-law's responsibility, then after experiencing this incident, Madame Wang had more trust and liking for Tanchun.
Although Lady Wang hated Aunt Zhao, But Tanchun was different from Aunt Zhao, Tanchun was the nominal daughter of Lady Wang, and once Tanchun married into the royal palace or other noble families in the future, it was a very good thing for Lady Wang, after all, Lady Wang was the nominal mother of Tangchun.
After the birth of her nephew Queen Xifeng, Lady Wang considered the choice of housekeeper, and she preferred her daughter-in-law Li Feng, then Tanchun, followed by her niece Baochao. These three people were all directly related to Lady Wang, and It was impossible for Lady Wang to give the power of the housekeeper to someone who had nothing to do with her, and she chose to visit Chun after forty-six times, which showed that Tan Chun had broken the siege for Lady Wang at that time and won Lady Wang's trust and like.
Before the forty-sixth time, Lady Wang and Tanchun did not have much intersection, but it can also be seen that Lady Wang was not exclusive to this daughter. Coupled with the fact that Tanchun's talent and intelligence are very high, and she is deeply liked by Jia Mu, even if the relationship between Lady Wang and Aunt Zhao has always been very tense, she has not treated Tanchun's daughter like Lady Xing treated Yingchun.
After forty-six times of the siege, Madame Wang had more trust in Tanchun than just liked it. After the fifty-fifth return of the Dream of the Red Chamber to Wang Xifeng,Madame Wang began to form her own management team, although Li Feng had average management ability, she was The eldest daughter-in-law of Lady Wang, and was listed as the first choice, followed by Tanchun, who was The titular daughter of Lady Wang and belonged to her own people, and although Baochao was not a person from Jia Province, she had long been designated as a daughter-in-law by Lady Wang, and was also the grandmother of the future housekeeper of the Rongguo Mansion.
This management team seems to be headed by Li Feng, but in fact it is mainly based on Tanchun. Li Yi usually does not like to manage things, BaoChao is an outsider who is inconvenient to manage, only Tanchun dares to manage and is willing to manage, this estimate exceeds Madame Wang's expectations. But fortunately, Madame Wang arranged to find the right person to be the housekeeper of Tanchun, who is very managerial and courageous, not afraid of offending people, and is more willing to solve the financial crisis of Rong Guofu through reform.
It can be seen that Madame Wang's arrangement of the Tanchun butler is not only her trust and liking, but also a recognition of her ability. Of course, Madame Wang can arrange for Tanchun to participate in the housekeeper, which has a lot to do with the fact that Tanchun broke the siege for her in public in the forty-sixth time of the Dream of the Red Chamber.
