Wang Xifeng made a big fuss in the Ningguo Mansion once, and once scolded Youshi like this: You have no talent, no mouth, and the gourd with your mouth sawn, you will only blindly be careful of Tu Xianliang's name...
Is You Shi really a talentless and articulate person, as Wang Xifeng said? Of course not. In the whole Jia Province, who doesn't know how powerful Wang Xifeng is? She didn't take Youshi seriously at all.
It is no wonder that she said so, in the first eighty times, You Shi, as the grandmother of Ning Guofu Zhen, did not seem to have done anything earth-shattering, and did not have the performance of taking it.
And Wang Xifeng is different, after Qin Keqing's death, she did a very good job in assisting ning guofu, and everyone in Jia Province praised it. And Youshi, who has committed an old disease, has been recuperating from illness.
Moreover, You's origin cannot be compared with Wang Xifeng, she is Jia Zhen's successor, in family affairs, she cannot persuade her husband to govern the family, everything is controlled by Jia Zhen, so although in terms of position, You Shi is a sister-in-law, Wang Xifeng has never looked at her squarely.
Once in ningfu, Wang Xifeng "kneaded a Youshi into a dough" and scolded him badly. Have a birthday yourself, Youshi comes to toast, guess what she said? "You must honor me with peace of mind, and I will drink when I kneel."
It is normal to make innocuous jokes between concubines, but As a sister-in-law, Wang Xifeng, talking to her sister-in-law in public, is somewhat blind and too crazy.
She never looked down on Youshi, who was not born tall, nor did she ever pinch Youshi, who was strong, and naturally she wouldn't really understand Youshi. In fact, You Shi not only did not lose Wang Xifeng in talent, but also ten times better than Feng Jie in virtue.
For You's virtue, Cao Gong did not spend as much ink as he did writing Wang Xifeng, but made an account through Jia Jing's death. There are five words in the retrospective, "Du Yan Li Relatives And Funerals", which are enough to serve as a definite evaluation of You's true ability.
When Jia Jing died, he was in a bad hurry, "Jia Zhen's father and son, Jia Lian, and others were not at home, and for a while there was no man with his own to come." "Because at this time the old lady in the palace died, starting from Jia Mu, all the wives and grandmothers of Jia Fu, grandfathers, had to enter the court every day to accompany the sacrifice, considering that the two houses of Ningrong needed to have a person in charge, so they reported you to the family and left it.
Being able to leave you in charge of Ning Rong's second house is actually very telling. If You Shi is really a melon with no virtue and no talent, it is obviously a wrong decision to let her take charge of the daily affairs of the two provinces, but the sudden circumstances of Jia Jing's death prove that You Shi is a grandmother with great talent.
At this time, Baoyu's birthday had just passed, the weather was hot, when You Shi heard about Jia Jing's death, she knew that Jia Zhen and others could not come back for a while, that is, they would come back immediately, let alone half a month, but after people died, many things had to be solved immediately, and could not be delayed.
Cao Gong was not simple, and left a separate stage for You's to display his talents. The first thing she did was to "order people to go to xuanzhenguan first and lock up all the Daoists and wait for the master to come to the house for interrogation." ”
Gong Gong was practicing Dan Yao in the Guan Li well, and suddenly he died, there must be a problem in it, but the stakes were heavy, and a female stream of the You clan also had to deal with Jia Jing's posthumous affairs, in order to prevent the suspect from escaping, she cut off the clue, so she first ordered someone to watch all the Daoist monks of the Xuanzhen Temple.
This is equivalent to our blockade scene today, since people are here, then all the relevant personnel here are suspects, and they must be carefully investigated and interrogated. At least, none of them can be let go until the truth is ascertained.
The second thing You Shi did was to "take a busy car with Lai Sheng's family daughter-in-law out of the city." I also asked the doctor to see what the disease was. ”
Stabilizing the scene of the crime, and then going to the scene to investigate, You Shi not only went to Xuanzhenguan for the first time, but also did not forget to bring a powerful housekeeper and daughter-in-law, in case there were important things arranged later, and someone had to run errands.
At the same time, she also thought of asking the doctor to look at it so that the cause of death could be found. This is equivalent to our forensic medicine today, which used to be called a trick. Only by finding out the cause of death can we know why Jia Jing died, which is also the key to clearing up all the people present in the first step.
Of course, You Shi asked the doctor, not the servant, about her psychology still held a glimmer of hope, to see if people really died, or there was a glimmer of life, so that timely treatment.
For You's family, the father-in-law died unexpectedly, there was no one in charge of the family, since she was in danger, she had to do every step well, seal off the scene and all the personnel, bring the tai doctor and the family daughter-in-law to the scene, find out the cause of death, understand the specific situation, so that when Jia Zhen returned home, she would also be able to explain it.
The Taiyi and the Daoist monks replied in agreement, Jia Jing was in a hurry to soar, swallow the golden sand, burn and die, that is to say, the Daoists were not responsible.
Normal people should have released people after listening to this, but You Shi was meticulous and did not release people immediately, in case the Tai Doctor and the Taoist priest colluded to conceal the truth of Jia Jing's death and evade responsibility? Therefore, after listening to the "autopsy report" of the Tai Doctor and the statements of the Taoist monks, she did not fully believe it.
The third thing she did next was to "only order the lock, wait for Jia Zhen to distribute it, and order someone to go to Pegasus to report the news." "Jia Jing is a jinshi after all, although he has never been an official, and he died so suddenly, if You Shi just listened to the statements of the Tai Doctors and Daoists, he released people, in case there is a recurrence of the incident, how can she explain it to Jia Zhen?"
Therefore, after she understood the course of the matter, she did not let those Daoists go, but ordered people to still lock them, and when Jia Zhen came, let Jia Zhen handle it. In addition, he sent pegasus to report the letter, that is, to report the funeral.
After all, Jia Zhen is Jia Jing's only son, his own father died, and his son was not around to keep filial piety, which was absolutely impossible. But we can't wait, because Jia Zhen can't come back for a moment and a half, and how to deal with Jia Jing's posthumous affairs is the biggest problem.
Yu Shi then did the fourth thing, "While looking at the narrowness of this place, it cannot be parked, and it cannot enter the city horizontally and vertically, so it is wrapped up in a busy outfit and carried to the Iron Sill Temple with a soft palanquin to park." ”
This is a very critical step, people die, can not always be placed there, to quickly deal with the scene, Jia Fu has its own family temple, so You Shi quickly parked Jia Jing's body to the Tie sill Temple.
If it is winter, You Shi can do this step, it is already very powerful, waiting for Jia Zhen to come back and then deal with it.
In fact, no matter whether ancient or modern, people's death is a big thing, many people encounter, let alone deal with it, often chaotic, do not know how to be good. But Youshi is particularly stable, and every step is handled properly.
When Jia Jing died, it was hot in time, so that the body could not be released for a long time, so You Shi immediately did the fifth thing, "So I presided over it myself, and ordered the astronomer to choose a date to be buried." ...... Three days later, the funeral was broken. On the one hand, he made a dojo to wait for Jia Zhen. ”
Burial is to put the deceased into the coffin, this step is a lot of exquisite, and such a big thing as presiding over and participating in the funeral, throughout the ages, is basically male, Youshi as a woman, can so calmly deal with the affairs of the father-in-law, and no one can discuss, have to make their own decisions, it is really not simple.
Don't say it's Youshi, just change it to any person now, whether male or female, can arrange all aspects properly, is a huge test. If you haven't experienced such a thing, it is even more unimaginable. Because every step is done wrong, it will fall into the hands of others.
After arranging the father-in-law's affairs, Youshi thought that there was no one in charge at home, so he did the sixth thing, "Only to temporarily entrust the external affairs to a few second-class stewards in the family." ...... He took his stepmother to look after the family in Ning Province. ”
The father-in-law funeral is a big event, Jia Zhen can't come back for a while, You Shi must deal with affairs on the spot, so that the family has no main heart, You Shi considers that "Sister Feng can't come out, Li Feng takes care of her sisters, and Bao Yu doesn't know the body", so she can only arrange for other stewards to act as agents.
You see how thoughtful You shi is thinking about things, neither can you delay the handling of things behind your father-in-law's death, nor can you let the family mess up because of this. True family members can't take care of one or the other, they have to take care of it.
From the death of her father-in-law, it can be said that You Shi was not idle for a moment, from the lock Daoist, the doctor, the newspaper Jia Zhen, to the Stop Spirit Iron Sill Temple, into the funeral, to the funeral and filial piety, to the dojo, to find someone to manage things, to ask someone to take care of the family, one by one, all of which were arranged by her.
Not only that, she even considered that if Jia Zhen's father and son returned early, there might be no one around Jia Zhen to escort her, so she arranged for the clan to go to meet her. It's a pity that this mind doesn't care about the family. Jia Zhen listened to "endless praise", these four words, but also the best evaluation of You's talent.
Jia Zhen was afraid that You's family could not cook, and also asked how the family was cooked, after the clan returned, Jia Zhenghuan said a few "proper", these two words, but also the greatest affirmation of You's talent.
Under the premise that there is no male ding in the family who can discuss the main matter, You Shi has a continuation, usually does not show the mountains and dew, did not expect this critical moment, but can be so calm, that is, Jia Zhen came back to deal with it, but it is not so? Really responded to the sentence in the opening chapter of the Dream of the Red Chamber: Why should I raise my eyebrows, and if I am not as good as the skirt?
