Geng Scroll Chapter 184: The parents have shortcomings (first update, please vote!)
Just when the Grand View Garden of Rongguo Mansion was bustling with excitement, Feng Ziying had already fallen asleep with Shen Yixiu in her arms.
Compared with the bustle over there in Rongguo Mansion, Feng Mansion = General Shenwu Mansion + Hulunhou Mansion + Yunchuan Bo Mansion are three combined into one, but they are extremely quiet, which makes many girls and servants who come from Rongguo Mansion feel excited. There are still some things that I don’t feel comfortable with.
Even Feng Ziying herself feels that her house is still too quiet and lacks a bit of the New Year atmosphere. However, this is also her second New Year after getting married. Compared with last year's New Year's Eve, this New Year's Eve is still a little more lively. , it seems that next year I will have to think of ways to create a New Year atmosphere. This is not only for fun, but also a necessary measure to gather the energy and centripetal force of the family.
Now the servants of Feng Mansion are mainly divided into several groups.
One group is the servants who have been following Feng Tang and the Duan family since Datong, including some family members who have changed their surname to Feng, their children, their relatives and their families. The number of these people is not large, only ten or twenty people; On the one hand, the Feng family started to recruit servants after they moved to the capital city. This group was the largest, probably around thirty or forty people; there was also a group of villagers who came to join them from their respective hometowns such as Datong and Linqing, and the number was also about the same. There are about ten or twenty people.
The rest are Shen Yixiu, Xue Baochai, and Xue Baoqin, the servants from their natal family who they married and brought in. There are about ten or twenty people in this group.
It can be said that this group of servants, which was put together from several places, is still relatively scattered, especially the group that started to be hired after settling in the capital city. The largest number, but the time is only a few years, and it is far from being able to compete with Feng. The family is so loyal, but these people are indispensable. If the Feng family wants to become a powerful family, it will be a very important but long process for these people to eliminate the bad and keep the good, absorb and eliminate them, and gradually return to their roots.
It is also a step-by-step process for those villagers from Datong and Linqing, as well as the servants brought by the matrons from their natal families to be accepted into the Feng family and integrated into one. How to bring these people in as soon as possible? They need various measures and means to achieve a sense of belonging and unity, and even consciously become a member of the Feng family.
Such as increasing the monthly salary and giving more rewards are just crude and simple methods. Look at what is going on in the Rongguo Mansion. Although the Jia family is declining, it is more of a problem with the person in charge of the Jia family. However, some of the methods adopted by the Jia family are not It is still worth learning from the Feng family.
For example, on every big and small festival, people are given rewards and food to celebrate, as well as activities such as guessing puzzles, watching lanterns, watching plays, and hosting banquets on major festivals. Although they don’t cost much, they can make people excited. Joy, and can create a family atmosphere through this way of sharing joy.
Another example is when people have sores and illnesses, they arrange for doctors to see them, and they also provide some necessary care and even medicine and monetary comfort; another example is when people pass their lives, and their immediate family members’ weddings, funerals, and illnesses are all dealt with. Giving leave or even some rewards are very effective methods.
"Ms. Baochai, Sister Baochai and Sister Baoqin have their own merits. When we were together earlier, what Sister Baochai said made sense to me." Shen Yixiu leaned against her husband and put his head on the head. Leaning on her husband's shoulder, she whispered.
"Oh? What did Baochai say?" Feng Ziying was surprised.
"Sister Baochai said that the sources of servants in the mansion are still too mixed, the rules and styles are a bit messy, the accent is just that, but the rules for doing things are also confusing, so she suggested to me that the Feng family is also the capital now. There are prominent people in the city, so these aspects may need to be sorted out and clarified, especially the daily procedures in the government. I am afraid that there must be a unified paradigm, at least it cannot be too different, so as not to cause unnecessary confusion..."
Shen Yixiu was also thinking as he spoke. It was originally just a reunion dinner on New Year's Eve. The two sat on opposite sides and didn't have many opportunities to talk together. But after the meal, Baochai mainly invited Shen Yixiu to sit together. Shen Surprised and curious, Yi Xiu naturally agreed, and after exchanging pleasantries, the topic slowly came up.
It was obvious that Baochai had come prepared. Although she had been married for less than twenty days, Baochai also had a detailed understanding of the Feng family's situation.
She found that the internal management of the Feng family was still quite rough. The family's finances were still in charge of the younger Duan family and had not yet been handed over to the two families. Naturally, she didn't know, but judging from the daily expenses of the house and the way the servants worked, Feng The house indeed still retains the style of border martial arts, which is rough, direct and casual.
I don't know whether Shen Yixiu was afraid of displeasing her mother-in-law in the year after her marriage, or whether she didn't care much about these things. All in all, in Baochai's mind, she seemed too carefree and casual.
Baochai was still torn about whether to mention this matter or not, but when she noticed that Baoqin seemed more and more active, especially after knowing that Baoqin had to take the initiative to listen in on the conversation between Xue Biao and Xue Biao, Baochai knew that it was time for her to express her voice at the right time and establish her own image.
But she did not choose to propose it to her mother-in-laws rashly. Instead, she discussed this method with Shen Yixiu, the eldest son of the house. It must be said that this was a very clever method.
It was this kind of technique that made Shen Yixiu have to improve Baochai's impression by a few points.
Although I heard Qingwen mention Xue Baochai before, although Qingwen didn't like Xue Baochai's character very much, she also said that Xue Baochai was thorough in doing things, considered the problems thoroughly, and was very like everyone. Shen Yixiu didn't feel much about it, but on the contrary, it was like this Feedback from various sources over the past few days all said that Xue Baoqin spoke and acted like a lady, and even seemed to be taking over the host. Just when I was curious, I didn't expect to see Xue Baochai's stunning appearance today.
Feng Ziying couldn't help but sit up straight, and heard a noise in the room. Yun Shang, who was on duty outside, hurried in. Seeing Feng Ziying sitting up with her clothes on, she quickly took the pillow at the foot of the bed and leaned on Feng Ziying's back, touching Yun Shang. Her hands were a little cold, so Feng Ziying simply pulled Yun Shang onto the bed and lay down next to her.
Shen Yixiu glared at her husband angrily, but didn't say anything else. She knew that this girl had been following Feng Ziying since she was a child, and their relationship was different. She didn't pull Yun Shang into bed to do anything, but out of pure pity. Seeing Yun Chang's face was still flushed and he was about to struggle out of bed, so he said: "Yun Shang, just lie down next to your husband, otherwise your husband will think that I, a mistress, have a hard heart and don't know how to sympathize with you."
"Grandma, how dare you, slave..." Yun Shang was panicked.
"It's not your business, it's what my husband thinks..." Shen Yixiu teased, "How many years have you been with my husband? My husband and I have only been married for a year. How can we compare with the friendship between you?"
Yun Shang became even more nervous and confused, but Feng Ziying laughed nonchalantly: "Why are Wan Jun and Yun Shang so jealous? Okay, Yun Shang, this is grandma joking with you, lie down for a while, don't catch the cold , Are you here from Tiangui? Your body can’t bear the cold, and you don’t even put on a coat when you get out of bed? You don’t know how to take care of your body.”
"Listen, Yun Shang, you have to take a good rest. My husband is thinking about you." Shen Yixiu also laughed. She also liked this honest and honest girl. She had never been arrogant due to favors, and her temperament was even worse. Qi Qingwen is better.
Yun Shang also felt that her grandma was not as worried as she was, and felt much more at ease. After struggling for a while, she curled up next to Feng Ziying outside the bed. Feng Ziying also pulled the quilt to cover her.
"Does Wanjun think what Baochai said is reasonable?"
"Of course it makes sense. Does your husband think that Sister Baochai is aiming at nothing?" Shen Yixiu said: "I have heard from my concubine before that the mansion was in Datong. The master often went to war, and even the family moved with him. People here also stay and leave, increasing or decreasing, so basically there is no decent customization. It was not until Beijing that it stabilized a little. As a result, the master went to Yulin again a few days ago, and the husband went to Qingtan Academy again. When I was studying, there was only my wife and concubine at home, and there wasn't much to do, so I wasn't that particular about it. But now the situation has changed. I married in, and I have two concubines, Eryou, and Baochai Baoqin, the second wife, also married in. She has given birth to a child, and my concubine is also talking about it. It happens that sister Baochai is more observant than me, so she took the initiative to bring up this matter, and I also feel that it is time to think about it carefully."
"What are Wan Jun going to do?" Feng Ziying felt that Shen Yixiu and Baochai seemed to have reached some kind of consensus, but there seemed to be something else inside. He hadn't figured it out yet, but he didn't plan to go there either. If you think about it more, since Shen Yixiu and Baochai both feel it is necessary to deal with the matters in this family, this should have been the responsibility of the two of them as matrons, so let them handle it.
"I plan to report it to my wife and concubine first, to see their thoughts and attitudes, and then think about it carefully. Sister Baochai over there also means the same thing. Then I and sister Baochai will discuss it again. "
Shen Yixiu's words made Feng Ziying laugh, "There is no need to say too much about my mother. As a son, I know my mother's temper best. She doesn't have much time to care about these things. In the past twenty years, family affairs have Basically, my aunt is in charge. She just listens like a Bodhisattva, but don’t let her make any suggestions..."
Shen Yixiu said angrily: "Ms. sir, how could anyone say such things about my mother-in-law?"
"Hey, I am telling the truth. This is how my mother is, and she is happy with it. You will know it after a few times. My aunt has said this several times before, and my mother became impatient. She almost told my aunt about these things and stopped coming. After annoying her, my mother likes to tease the birds, listen to operas, recite Buddha's name, and then go to the temple..." Feng Ziying laughed, "I quite envy my mother's temperament, open-mindedness and open-mindedness. That’s why I said that my mother’s ability to live a hundred years was all due to her character. Apart from my marriage and the family affairs of the Feng family, my mother really didn’t worry about anything else.”
