It is said that the general manager of the capital of Ningguo Mansion came to Shengwende to appoint Sister Feng, because it was said by colleagues and others: "Now we have invited the second grandmother of Lilian in Xifu to manage internal affairs. If he comes to collect things or talk, we need to be more careful than before. some.Everyone comes early and leaves late every day. They would rather work hard for a month and then rest later, so as not to lose their old face.He was a well-known hot guy, with a sour face and hard heart, he was annoyed for a while, and he didn't recognize anyone.Everyone said: It makes sense.Another laughed and said, "In theory, we also need him to rectify and rectify it. It's not like it."Just as I was talking, I saw Laiwang's daughter-in-law took a pair of cards to get the letter of submission to the Jingbang, and the number was approved on the ticket.Everyone hurriedly gave up their seats and poured tea, and at the same time ordered people to take papers according to the number to hold them. They went all the way to the door of Yi with Laiwang's wife, and Fang handed over to Laiwang's wife to carry them in by herself.

Sister Feng ordered Caiming to make books.Immediately came the news that the daughter-in-law was promoted, and the roster of the family was required to check, and it was limited to the news that the daughter-in-law of the Qi family would come in as a servant early in the morning.I probably ordered a few quantity sheets, asked Lai Sheng's wife a few words, and then drove home.There was nothing to say all night.On the next day, at the second moment of Maozheng, he came over. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the Ningguo Mansion heard all about it, and saw that Sister Feng was distributing with Laisheng's daughter-in-law. No one dared to enter without permission, but just listened outside the window.I just heard Sister Feng and Laisheng's wife say, "Since I've been entrusted to you, I can't say I won't offend you."I can't compare to your grandma's good nature, so let you go.Don't say that it used to be like this in your house, but now you have to follow me and make me a little bit wrong. It doesn't matter who has face and who has no face. One case will be dealt with innocently.As he spoke, he ordered Caiming to read the roster and call them in one by one to have a look.

After reading it for a while, he ordered again: "these twenty people are divided into two shifts, ten in each shift, and they only manage the people and guests coming and going and pouring tea in it every day, and they don't need to care about other things."These twenty are also divided into two shifts, and they only take care of the relatives' tea and food every day, and they don't need to take care of other things.These forty people were also divided into two groups. They only offered incense and oil before the spirit, hung a curtain to keep watch, offered food and tea, and mourned along with them. Other things had nothing to do with them.These four people only take care of the cups, saucers and tea utensils in the inner tea room. If there is one missing, they will be called four to make up for it.These four people are only in charge of the wine and rice utensils, and if one is missing, it is also his four descriptions.These eight single-handed supervisors receive sacrificial rites.These eight single tubes of lamp oil, candles, and paper slips, I will always collect them, and give you eight, and then distribute them to various places according to my number.These thirty people take turns to go to night in different places every day, looking after the door, inspecting the fire and candles, and cleaning the place.The rest is divided according to the house, someone guards a certain place, all the tables and chairs are antiques in a certain place, as for the spit box duster, every grass and seedling, lost or broken, it will be settled with the person who guards this place. .The general manager who comes to Sheng's house checks every day, and if there are those who are lazy, those who gamble and eat alcohol, or those who fight and quarrel, come back to me immediately.You have partiality, after I found out, the old face of three or four lifetimes can't be taken care of.Now there are rules, and in the future that line will be messed up, and I will only talk to that line. People with me usually have their own clocks and watches. No matter how big or small, I have a certain time.Anyway, you also have a clock in your upper room.At the second quarter of Maozheng, I will come to order Mao, and I am already having breakfast. Anyone who has a license is only at the beginning of noon.At the beginning of Xu, I burned the evening paper, and I went to check it all by myself, and handed over the key at night when I came back.On the second day, it was still the second quarter of Maozheng.It may be that we all have worked hard for the past few days. After the work is over, your uncle will naturally reward you.

After all, he ordered to send tea, oil candles, feather dusters, brooms and other things according to the number.On the one hand, they moved things: table surrounds, chairs, mats, felt mats, spit boxes, pedals and the like.At the same time handing over and handing over, and at the same time holding a pen to register, a certain person is in charge of a certain place, and a certain person is responsible for a certain thing, and it is very clear.Everyone took them, and they all went to defection, unlike the first time they only picked the cheap ones to do, and there was no one to recruit the rest of the hard work.Don't get lost in the chaos in each room.Even when people come and go, they are all quiet, unlike the previous one who was serving tea, serving dinner, mourning with him, and receiving guests.Such disadvantages as cluelessness, confusion, dodging, sneaking, stealing, etc., will all be wiped out the next day.

Sister Feng was very proud to see her majestic order.Seeing You Shi fell ill, Jia Zhen was too sad and didn't eat much. She cooked all kinds of porridge and exquisite side dishes from the mansion every day, and ordered someone to send them to persuade her to eat.Jia Zhen also ordered that the first-class dishes be delivered to Baoxia every day, Shan and Sister Feng.That Sister Feng is not afraid of hard work, and she comes here every day at the second moment of Maozheng to serve as a director. She sits up and sits alone in the Baosha, and does not join the group of sisters-in-law. On the fifth day of May 7th, Naying Buddhist monk was opening the square to break the prison, passed on the lamp to illuminate the dead, visited Yan Jun, the ghost of Judu, entertained the king of Dizang, opened the golden bridge, and led the banners; , To the Sanqing, kowtow to the Jade Emperor; Zen monks burn incense, put flames in their mouths, worship water and repent; there are thirteen nuns and monks, wearing embroidered clothes, wearing red shoes, silently reciting various mantras in front of the spirit, which is very lively.That Sister Feng must know that there are many guests today, so she stayed at home overnight. When Yinzheng arrived, Ping'er asked Ping'er to get up and wash up.And tidy up, change clothes and wash hands, eat two mouthfuls of milk sugar japonica rice porridge, and finish rinsing, it is the second quarter of Maozheng.Laiwang's daughter-in-law has led all the people to serve for a long time.Sister Feng went out to the front of the hall and got into the car. A pair of bright corner lights were lit in front of her, and she wrote the three characters of Rongguofu in big characters, and the money came to Ningfu.The lights on the gate are hung brightly, and the lights on both sides are poked in the same color, shining like daytime, and the white barking servants stand on both sides.Ask the car to go to the main gate, wait for the boys to retreat, and all the daughters-in-law come up and lift the curtain of the car.Sister Feng got out of the car and supported Feng'er with one hand. The two daughters-in-law held on to the lampshade and surrounded Sister Feng to come in.The daughters-in-law of the Ning Mansion greeted and greeted them.Sister Feng walked slowly into Huifang Garden and climbed to the fairy pavilion. When she saw the coffin, her tears rolled down like pearls with broken threads.Many young servants in the courtyard waited on the burning paper with their hands down.Sister Feng ordered: "Bring paper for tea."Just listening to a gong and all the music playing together, someone had brought a big armchair and put it in front of the coffin. Sister Feng sat down and cried loudly.So men and women inside and outside, seeing Sister Feng's voice, hurriedly answered and cried.

For a while, Jia Zhenyou sent someone to persuade her, but Sister Feng stopped.After Laiwang's daughter-in-law offered tea and rinsed her mouth, Sister Feng got up, walked away from all the people in the family, and came into the Baosha by herself.Checked by name, all the people have arrived, only one person on the welcome and see off relatives and guests has not arrived.As soon as the order arrived, the man was panicked and ashamed.Sister Feng sneered and said: I said who made the mistake, it turned out to be you!You were more respectable than them, that's why you didn't listen to me.The man said: The little one comes early every day, only today, I wake up feeling earlier, because I fell asleep again, I came a step late, I beg grandma to forgive me this time.Just as he was talking, he saw Wang Xing's daughter-in-law from the Rongguo Mansion coming and poking her head in front of her.

Sister Feng didn't release this man, but first asked, "what is Wang Xing's wife doing?"Wang Xing's daughter-in-law was eager to ask him to finish the business first, so she hurried in and said: Get the license plate and get the line, take a taxi and car network.With that said, he handed over a post.Sister Feng ordered Caiming to read: "Two big sedan chairs, four small sedan chairs, four cars, share some large and small nets, and use several catties of pearl thread."After hearing this, Sister Feng ordered Caiming to register and throw the cards against Rongguo Mansion.Wang Xing's family has gone.

When Sister Feng was about to speak, she saw four deacons from the Rongguo Mansion coming in, all of whom wanted to collect things and get cards.Sister Feng ordered Caiming to ask for the post and read it. After listening to a total of four items, she pointed to two items and said, "these two items have been spent wrongly. Let's get them after the calculation is made."Talking and throwing down the post.The two left disappointed. Seeing Zhang Cai's family nearby, Sister Feng asked, "what's the matter with you?"Zhang Cai's family hurriedly took the post and said, "It's just that the car and sedan enclosure was completed, and I received a few taels of tailor's silver."After hearing this, Sister Feng accepted the post and ordered Caiming to register.After Wang Xing's family handed over the cards and got the comprador's back bet, Fang and Zhang Cai's family went to collect it.On the one hand, I ordered that one again, to buy paper materials for the completion of Baoyu's study.After hearing this, Sister Feng ordered to receive the post and register it. After Zhang Cai's family paid it off, she sent it to this person again.

Sister Feng then said: "Tomorrow he will also be insane, and later I will be insane too, and there will be no one in the future."Originally, I wanted to spare you, but I was lenient for the first time, and it will be difficult to manage people next time. It is better to develop now.Immediately put down his face, and shouted: take it out, hit 20 boards!At the same time, he threw down the counter card of Ningguo Mansion: go out and talk to Laisheng, and give him silver rice for one month!When everyone heard about it and saw Sister Feng's eyebrows raised again, they knew that they were annoyed, and they didn't dare to neglect them. Those who dragged people went out to drag them, and those who held cards hurriedly went to preach.The man couldn't help himself, he had been dragged out for twenty boards, and he still wanted to come in to thank him.Sister Feng said: "If you make a mistake tomorrow, you will be beaten for forty, and if you are going to be beaten for sixty the next day, just make a mistake!"Said, ordered: let go.Everyone outside the window heard that each deacon had gone.At that time, the two deacons of Ningguo Rongguo received the cards and handed over the cards. People came and went. Those who were ashamed of being beaten went away in shame.Everyone didn't dare to take a break, and since then they have worked hard and kept the deacon safe.No problem.

Now let's say that because Baoyu saw the crowd today, he was afraid that Qin Zhong would be wronged, so he negotiated with him silently, and wanted to sit with Sister Feng with him.Qin Zhong said: "He has a lot of things to do, and he doesn't like people to go. If we go, he won't be bored."Baoyu said, "Why is he tired of us? It's irrelevant. Just follow me."As he spoke, he pulled Qin Zhong to Baoxia.Sister Feng just had dinner, and when she saw them coming, she smiled and said, "You have such long legs, come up quickly."Baoyu said, "We are sideways."Sister Feng said: "Do you eat outside here, or over there?"Baoyu said, "What are you eating with those muddlers here?"It turned out that over there, the two of us ate with the old lady.Sitting on one side.

After Sister Feng finished her meal, a daughter-in-law from Ningguo's mansion came to collect the card for the incense lamp.Sister Feng said with a smile: "I figured you should come to withdraw money today, but you never came. I think you forgot."It's time to pick it up, don't forget, it's natural that you packaged it up, and it's all cheaper for me.The daughter-in-law said with a smile: Why didn't I forget it, I just remembered it, and if I was a step later, I wouldn't be able to get it.After all, get the license and go. Instant registration and handover.Qin Zhongyin said with a smile: You both have this card, if someone else gets one privately, pays the money and runs away, what?Sister Feng laughed and said, "According to you, there is no kingly law."Baoyu said: "Why doesn't anyone in our family get a brand to make things?"Sister Feng said: "When people come to pick it up, you are still dreaming."Let me ask you, how sooner or later do you read the night book?Baoyu said, "I wish I could read it now. It's just that they can't get out of the study quickly, and that's impossible."Sister Feng laughed and said, "If you invite me, I'll be sure that it will be soon."Baoyu said: "It's useless if you try to be fast. They will naturally do what they should do."Sister Feng laughed and said, "Even if they do it, they have to ask for something. It's hard not to give me the right card."When Baoyu heard about it, he immediately asked for a sign from Sister Feng, saying, "Good sister, give me the sign and tell them to ask for something."Sister Feng said: "My tired body hurts, and I can still rub it."Don't worry, I just got the paper and paper today, and they have to wait for what they want, aren't they stupid?Baoyu didn't believe it, so Sister Feng asked Caiming to check the booklet and Baoyu read it. While making noise, the person came back: Zhao'er, who went to Suzhou, came.Sister Feng hurriedly called in.Zhao'er beat Qian'er to greet him.Sister Feng asked, "What are you doing back here?"Zhao'er said: "The second master sent me back."Aunt Lin passed away on the third day of September.The second master brought Miss Lin to send Aunt Lin to Suzhou, and he will be back around the end of the year.The second master sent the younger one to report a letter of greetings, asking the old lady to show me, and also to see how well grandma's house is, and asked to bring some big wool clothes.Sister Feng said: Have you seen anyone else?Zhao'er said: I've seen them all.After finishing speaking, he quickly retreated.Sister Feng smiled at Baoyu and said, "Your sister Lin has lived in our house for a long time."Baoyu said: "It's amazing. I don't know how much he has been crying these days."As he spoke, he frowned and sighed. When Sister Feng saw Zhao'er coming back, she was worried because she hadn't had time to ask Jia Lian carefully in front of people. She wanted to go back, but things were complicated.I had to wait until I came back at night, and then ordered Zhao'er to come in and ask for information about the safety of the journey.After packing the woolen clothes overnight, Heping'er personally checked the package, and then carefully thought about what was needed, and packed it up and delivered it to Zhao'er.He also told Zhao'er in detail: be careful when you are out, and don't make your second master angry; always persuade him to eat less alcohol, don't seduce him to recognize the bastard wife, and discount your legs when you come back.The chaos is over, it's almost the end of the fourth watch, I always fall asleep and get sleepy again, and I don't realize that the rooster is singing at dawn, so I hurriedly wash up and come to Ning's mansion. Na Jiazhen got closer because of seeing her hair.I personally took the car and took the officials of Yin and Yang to Tiekan Temple to see where the spirit is.One by one, he asked the abbot, Sekong, to prepare fresh furnishings and invite more famous monks for the use of spiritual reception.Sekong is busy watching Wan Zhai.Jia Zhen also didn't care about eating and drinking, so she rested in the clean room all night because she couldn't go to the city at night.In the morning of the next day, he went to the city to take care of the funeral. On the other hand, he sent people to Tiekan Temple to decorate the place where the coffin stayed overnight, and cooked tea and other items to meet the coffin. Inside, Sister Feng saw that the date was limited, so she also distributed the food one by one in advance. On the one hand, she sent someone in a sedan chair from the Rongfu to send the funeral to Mrs. Wang, and took care of herself to take the funeral to occupy the next place.At present, it is the time when the duke of the state passed away, and the second wife Wang Xing went to hold sacrifices and send the funeral; the princess of Xi'an County gave birth to a birthday gift; It is also difficult to describe things such as writing home letters to parents and bringing them there; and Yingchun fell ill, asking the doctor to take medicine every day, seeing the doctor's instructions, the source of the disease, and the medicine case.And her hair is drawn near her, so the busy Sister Feng has no time to eat tea and rice, and she can't sit and lie clean.As soon as they arrived at Ningfu, the people from Rongfu followed to Ningfu; after returning to Rongfu, the people from Ningfu found Rongfu again.When Sister Feng saw this, she was very happy in her heart, and she didn't evade it secretly, for fear of being praised or criticized by others, so she was busy day and night, planning very carefully.So all the members of the family admired him. On the evening of this day's companionship, there were two troupes of small operas and a hundred opera performers staying with their relatives and friends. Youshi was still lying in the inner room, and Sister Feng alone fully accepted all the hospitality.Although there are many sisters-in-law in the family, some are shy, some are shy, some are not used to people, some are afraid of nobles and officials, and so on, none of them are as comfortable as Sister Feng's manners and speech. Generous, precious and magnanimous; therefore, he does not take everyone seriously, squanders instructions, and lets them do what they do, as if no one else is there.It goes without saying that the lights are on all night, guests are seen off and officials are greeted, and there are all kinds of excitement.At dawn, the auspicious time has come. Generally, sixty-four people in Tsingyi invite spirits, and there is a large inscription on the inscription in front of it: Feng Tianhong, Jianzhao Years, the hard-won royal decree, the first-class grandson of the Ningguo Gong Tomb to protect the inner court Forbidden Road, the imperial guard, Long Jinwei, Xiangqiangshou Jia The coffin of the respected people of the Qin family.All the decorations of the deacons are newly made in a hurry, and they are all dazzling.In addition to the gift of her own unmarried daughter, Baozhu was mourned and mourned. At that time, the officials and guests sent the funeral, the grandson of Zhen Guogong Niu Qing now inherited the first-class uncle Niu Jizong, the grandson of Li Guogong Liu Biao now inherited the first-class son Liu Fang, the grandson of Qi Guogong Chen Yi's hereditary Sanpin Weizhen General Chen Ruiwen, and the governing stallion Kui's grandson inherited the third-rank Weiyuan general Ma Shang, and the grandson of Xiu Guogong Hou Xiaoming's hereditary first-class son Hou Xiaokang; Shan Guogong ordered him to die, so his grandson Shi Guangzhu never came to keep his filial piety.These six families and Ning Rong's two families were called Eight Dukes back then.The rest include the grandson of Nanan County King, the grandson of Xining County King, Zhongjinghou Shiding, the hereditary second-class grandson of Pingyuanhou Jiang Zining, the hereditary second-class grandson of Dingcheng Marquis and Jingying guerrilla Xie Jing, the hereditary second-class grandson of Xiangyang Marquis Qi Jianhui, and the hereditary second-class son of Jingtian Houzhi. Sun Wucheng soldier and horse commander Qiu Liang.The remaining ones are Han Qi, the uncle of Jinxiang, Feng Ziying, the son of General Shenwu, Chen Yejun, Wei Ruolan and other princes and grandsons, too many to count.Counting the guests, there are about a dozen large sedan chairs, thirty or forty small sedan chairs, and even the family's large and small cars, no less than a hundred or ten vehicles.Even the various deacons, furnishings, and various plays in front of them are mighty and mighty, and they are three or four miles away. After walking for a long time, there is a high-rise colorful shed beside the road.There are banquets and banquets, and music is played, and there are road sacrifices for each family: the first is the sacrificial shed of the Dongping Prince's Mansion, the second is the sacrificial shed of the Nan'an County King, the third is the Xining County King, and the fourth is the Beijing County King of.It turns out that among the four kings, only the king of Beijing had the highest merit at that time, and his descendants still follow the king's rank today.Today, Wang Shuirong of Beijing is still young, and he is described as beautiful and gentle.Recently, I heard that the grandson's wife in Ningguo Gong's tomb told her to die. Because she thought about the love between her grandfather and her grandfather, they shared hardships and honored each other. They didn't treat each other with different surnames, so they didn't regard themselves as kings. Dian, ordered all the officials under his command to serve here.I entered the court at five o'clock, and as soon as I finished my official business, I changed into plain clothes, came in a big sedan chair with gongs and umbrellas, and got off the sedan chair in front of the shed.All the officials under his command lined up and waited on both sides, and the soldiers and civilians were not allowed to return. For a while, I saw the great funeral in Ningfu, and the land-pressing silver mountains generally came from the north.A messenger who opened the way in Ning's mansion saw it a long time ago, and hurried back to report to Jia Zhen.Jia Zhen urgently ordered to station in front, and together with Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng, they hurriedly greeted each other and met each other with national courtesy.Shui Rong bowed his body in the sedan chair and answered the salute with a smile. He still received him as a family friend, not arrogant.Jia Zhen said: "The mourning of the dog woman, Leimeng county is here, how can the shady generation be restrained."Shui Rong smiled and said: "Friends of the world, why do you say that."Then he turned around and ordered the officials of the Changfu to hold a memorial ceremony.After Jia Amnesty returned the gift, he turned around and came to thank him again. Shui Rong was very humble, because he asked Jia Zheng: "Which one was born with a treasure?"I wanted to see you several times, but I was hindered by the clutter. I thought I was here today, so why not invite me for a while.When Jia Zheng heard about it, he hurried back and ordered Baoyu to take off his filial obedience and lead him here.Na Baoyu once heard gossip from his father, brother, relatives and friends, and praised Shui Rong as a virtuous king, who was born with both talent and appearance, elegant and unrestrained, and was not bound by the officialdom and state system.Every time I think about meeting, it's just that my father is very restrained and has no reason to meet. Now I am happy to call him instead.As he walked, he caught a glimpse of Shui Rong sitting in the sedan chair, a handsome man.I don't know what it looks like when I look closely, and I'll listen to the next chapter to break it down.
