"Dream of the Red Chamber" is a literary giant depiction of all sentient beings, of which a huge number of butlers and slaves are at the bottom of the "mansion" of Jia Fu. Under the polishing of the world, the "human essences" who came out of these people have all cultivated the "martial arts of the full hanging son" and have a strong ability to mix the world. In particular, relying on Jia Fu, maximizing personal interests, and contributing to the ending of Jia Fu's "la like a building falling". The day when the trees fall and scatter will eventually come, and they have already made preparations, and they should have fished enough. So the birds and beasts scattered and disappeared into the vast sea of people.
(1) Slave Chief Lin Zhixiao
The Jia family has a great cause, and the housekeepers are also in charge. Lin Zhixiao is responsible for managing the work of slaves, and Lin Zhixiao's family (Lin Zhixiao's wife) is Feng Jie's trusted steward.
In the eyes of Sister Feng, the Lin family and his wife are "one deaf and one dumb", if this gene is really this gene, how can it give birth to xiaohong, a daughter with sharp teeth and shrewdness? So this "deaf and dumb" couple is definitely too modest. The Lin family and his wife are very good at seducing the master, as can be seen from the fact that Sister Feng, a master who is a few years older than her daughter, is a mother.
Confessing that the master's son can't suffer losses as a dry mother. The Lin family and his wife are the managers who hold real power in Jia Fuli, and if they can manage people, they will naturally be snubbed. In the kitchen incident, Qin Xianjia's insistence on Lin Zhixiao temporarily replaced the position of Liu Concubine, the former head of the kitchen, and only fell half a day after taking office, and Bai Xiao honored the Lin family with a lot of silver. Anyway, the Lin family used the power in their hands to get the silver. In the theft of rose dew, the interrogation of Wu'er by the Lin Zhixiao family shows how powerful he is in front of inferior slaves.
As for Lin Zhixiao, he is even more shrewd. He once talked to Jia Lian about family affairs, first, he saw early on that Jia Yucun was not easy to get too close to him, reminding the master so as not to be implicated in the future; second, he was worried about the future of the Jia family, and proposed a plan to lay off employees and save money: "The population is too heavy, it is better to pick an empty day to return to the old lady and old lady, and let these old family members who have made great efforts not need them, and let a few out." ...... As the saying goes, 'One moment is better than one moment', and now it is said that there is no precedent for the first time, and everyone must not be wronged, and the eight should be made six, and the four should be made two. If each room is counted, you can also save many months of rice and monthly money in a year. Moreover, half of the girls in it are too big, and they should also be matched. If you become a house, won't you give birth to another man? ”
Lin Zhixiao already had a vague premonition of the future of Jia Fu, and with this foresight, he knew better that he should step up his efforts to grab benefits in the present.
(2) The majesty of the accompanying room
There is a type of servant in jia house who comes from the master's companion house, and they are the "living dowry" brought by the daughter-in-law of the Jia family. The escort belongs to the family of the hostess, and if the heroine gains power in the husband's family, they can also be stained. Moreover, as the clerk and microphone of the female protagonist, some of the accompanying rooms are mixed quite well, such as Mrs. Wang's accompanying zhou rui family. Some of the accompanying room status is embarrassing after all, such as Mrs. Xing's accompanying room Wang Shanbao's family.
Because Lady Xing's position in Jia Province was very embarrassing, although she was the successor of the eldest son of Rong Guofu, after all, she was the eldest daughter-in-law and the wife of General Yipin, but the power of the housekeeper fell into the hands of the second daughter-in-law, Lady Wang, and her niece. This led to Lady Xing herself being unwilling and resentful, often looking for opportunities to brush up on her sense of existence.
Wang Baoshan's wife (Wang Shanbao's wife) is "Lady Xing's eyes and ears, often instigating Lady Xing's troubles." The status of Wang Baoshan's family was equally embarrassing with Lady Xing, so the servants "did not tend to worship him", which made her old man "feel very uncomfortable in his heart, and he couldn't find their stories". In the long run like this, this old woman's heart will inevitably be distorted. Once you grasp the matter of sesame and garlic skin, you will desperately expand the situation, lest the world not be chaotic, so as to create opportunities for yourself.
The inspection of the Grand View Garden was an incident instigated by Wang Shanbao's family through embroidered spring sacs. Xiu Chun Nang made this stupid woman "think that she had a handle", and listened to "Madame Wang's commission, and she is crashing into her heart", and took the opportunity to say: "These girls are like being sealed one by one, and they have become Miss Qianjin." Who dares to hum in the next day. Otherwise, they will instigate the girls' servants, saying that they have bullied the girls, and who can afford it. She wanted to use this to clean up the rings who didn't usually give her enough respect.
So Wang Shanbao's family was ordered to be responsible for the inspection of each house, and she invited Feng Jie to join her, but it was she who sang the protagonist. Only to see that she "drank and locked the corner doors, and then copied and checked from the mother-in-law of the night", she rarely caught this trembling and majestic show, and she must perform to the fullest. However, she suffered a loss in "no calculation in her heart", did not put the tanchun out of the shu out of the eyes, touched a big nail, and was hit in the mouth. This is not a climax, the climax is to copy out her granddaughter Siqi's private affair, move a stone and drop it on her own foot.
In Jia Province, there were many unprovoked slaves like Wang Shanbao's family, foxes and tigers. They want to make the people afraid of themselves and maximize their own interests. Just doing this line of work is very demanding for the Heart Machine City Government, and Wang Shanbao's obvious IQ is not enough.
Where there is comparison, there is harm. The same is the matching room, Mrs. Wang's companion Zhou Rui family because the status of the master is higher than the Wang Shanbao family, the two are not on the same channel.
Lady Wang is the actual housekeeper of Jia Province, as a close associate, the Zhou Rui family is in charge of the land rent in the spring and autumn of Jia Province, and it is also reasonable, and the fat water does not flow to outsiders. Zhou Rui's (Zhou Rui's wife) is also a lady who will come to do things, "Su Ri is a companion of Madame Wang, originally some decent, well-behaved, dedicated to everywhere to work and please, so the owners of various rooms like him."
Zhou Rui's two sons belonged to the middle and high levels among the slaves of Jia Fu, and their lives were good. When Grandma Liu first appeared, through the eyes of this rural mother-in-law, we already knew that the Zhou family did not live in the family house, had long purchased commercial houses, or set up houses, and hired slaves. Usually, I come to work at Jaffa Company. "In the past years (the Zhou family) competed to buy land, more than the strength of the dog and his father", the side shows that the Zhou Rui family has long had the financial resources to buy land, and the well-off life is not a day or two.
Zhou Rui's son-in-law Leng Zixing is an antique dealer, not a slave who does the same job, indicating that the daughter of the Zhou family can "go out" on the issue of marriage and has a wide range of choices. Not like the children of the servants in the house, they can only find objects in the servant pile. This Leng Zixing is also quite knowledgeable, and can chat with the revolutionary official Jia Yucun about the gossip of the four major families. Leng Zixing once caused a lawsuit and asked his wife to find his mother-in-law to unblock the relationship. In the eyes of the mother-in-law, this little bit of a trivial matter was "no big deal", but it was just a matter of saying a few words to Madame Wang and the second grandmother. From this, we can see how strong the ability of the Zhou Rui family is.
It doesn't matter if Zhou Rui's son doesn't succeed, he works in Jia Fu and mixes iron rice bowls. He did not argue, not only did he not have the eyes of his parents to do things, but he also did not put himself in the right position in front of the master with the momentum of his parents. Sister Feng was dissatisfied with this boy boss. He once caused trouble at Sister Feng's birthday party, and before he could serve his master, he got drunk first.
Sister Feng grumbled: "The old lady sent Lilly there, he didn't say that he was outside Zhang Luo, he sat upside down and cursed, and the gift was not sent in." Two women came in, and he carried them in with them. The little ones poured well, and he lost his hand in a box and sprinkled a yard of steamed buns. The man went, sent Cai Ming to talk about him, and he scolded Cai Ming. Such a lawless forgetfulness of the eight lambs, do not shake off what to do! Although Sister Feng was holding her breath on this product, she did not dare to move him substantively, because the face of the "wife's room" was big, and Sister Feng could only say a few words of anger and scolding.
Therefore, the shrewd Wang Xifeng was also jealous of these tricky slaves in Jia Fu, and she once had a wonderful comment: "All these housekeepers and grandmothers in our family, which one is good to pester?" If they were a little wrong, they would joke and joke, and a little bit they would point to Sang said that Acacia complained, sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, borrowed swords to kill people, blew fire, stood on the dry shore, pushed down the oil bottle without support, all of them were martial arts of hanging up... "It can make the phoenix spicy people throw rat taboos, which shows what a powerful horn this gang is!"
(3) Lai Da, who has successfully transformed
The most cattle housekeeper in Jia Fu is still a family of Lai Da, and the other big and small butlers are all pediatrics compared to Lao Lai.
Lai Da and his younger brother Lai Er served as stewards of rong and ning erfu respectively, and put the surname Jia into the pocket of the surname "Lai". The Lai family has served three generations of the Jia family, which can be described as hard work and high achievements. Therefore, the mother, Grandma Lai, had a lot of face in front of Jia Mu, and she could sit on a small stool and chat with Jia Mu, while the eight hundred granddaughters-in-law in Jia Mansion were standing on the side.
In Jia Mu's eyes, "you guys are all rich men." Jia Mu is a young lady of the Houye family, and what has not been seen in the world, she must call the Lai family a "rich man", which shows that the Lai family's money is absolutely not bad.
For example, the Lai family has a miniature version of the small view garden: "Although the garden is not as good as the big view garden, it is also very neat and wide, with spring stone trees, pavilions, and pavilions, and there are several moving places." The funds for building this garden were exactly what the Lai family overseers gave themselves when they built the Guifei Provincial Garden. The Lai family not only handled things for the master, but also gained their own benefits.
Lai Shangrong, the son of Lai Da, does not have a little "slave" color on him. He grew up living a life of fine clothes and food, similar to the brothers of the Prince of Jia Province. When he became an adult, his family donated a future for him. At the age of thirty, Lai ShangRong became a zhi county in the province of Toja. Jia Zheng still asked Jia Baoyu to study well and participate in the imperial examination to enter the career path, and the Lai family could take the money to take the shortcut to the end of the south.
Lai Shangrong is immoral and talentless, but he has the inheritance of his father and is very proficient in corruption. It is said that Lai Shangrong is the "son of the family" of Jia Province, that is, the descendants of slaves are also the property of the master, and their status is very low. But the Lai family knows how to change their fate, seize the opportunity, and the money opens the way, realizing "surviving two or three lifetimes, so easy to earn."
The Lai family amassed wealth on the one hand and engaged in business operations on the other, which was inseparable from their long-term work of actually hand-holding money. Therefore, the "contracting system" carried out by the Lai family is very grounded. Tanchun once copied this model as the "Daguanyuan Contract Responsibility System". "Who knows that in such a garden, in addition to the flowers they wear and the bamboo shoots, vegetables, fish and shrimp they eat, there are still people who have wrapped them up in a year, and at the end of the year, there are two hundred taels of silver left." The difference is that the reform of the Grand View Garden has failed, but the Lai family can revitalize their own "Small View Garden" and have cash. It seems that the "children born in the family" have indeed "earned out", which is stronger than the masters!
