Jia mu's management ability

In the thirty-fifth episode of A Dream of Red Mansions, Baochai flattered the old lady in front of everyone and said, "I have been here for so many years, so I should pay attention. It seems that Xifeng cannot be smarter than the old lady. "

Baochai's words revealed an important message, that is, Jia Mu's management ability is above that of Wang Xifeng. Although this statement is flattering, Baochai is a more rational person. This conclusion is based on her careful observation in Jiafu for several years, so this view is credible.

Baochai observed it for several years. What details did she draw such a judgment from?

First of all, although Jia left home and delegated power to Wang Xifeng, the power core of the whole family is still in Jia. Jia's prestige is still there, and no one in the Jia family has snubbed her. Even Wang Xifeng, who is in power, should be kind to the old lady, make her laugh and please her.

Secondly, although Jia Mu has left home, her manners of dealing with people and interacting with others can still reflect her talent.

Thirdly, from the people around Jia Mu, we can see that she is a very capable person. Most of Lady Jia's maids are smart and capable. Needless to say, Yuanyang is her personal secretary and handles everything properly. Aroma and Qingwen turned out to be the maids around Grandmother Jia and gave them to Baoyu. Zijuan is a clever girl and gave it to Daiyu. Why are all the maids around Grandmother Jia smart, capable and loyal? On the one hand, Jia Mu is good at selecting candidates, and those with poor qualifications can't get into her eyes. On the other hand, Jia Mu is also very good at cultivating people, and the people she cultivated are trustworthy.

Finally, Jia has a strong ability to deal with complex problems. For example. On Xifeng's birthday, I bumped into Jia Lian and Bao at home for a private meeting. Finally, there was a big fight. Jia Lian chased the grandmother with a sword and wine gall. Even Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing can't dissuade them from running wild here. Jia Jia only said a word, let Jia Lian obediently back out. What did Jia Mu say?

"I know you don't care about us. Find someone to call his father! "

Don't look at your ancestors, don't look at your mother, and it is a great sin of unfilial. I'll make a crime for you first and let you know what you're doing. I know he is not afraid of alcohol at the moment, but Jia knows that Jia Lian is most afraid of his father Jia She, who can beat him out of bed. So I asked someone to call his father, and he immediately panicked. Hearing this, he staggered out.

Punished the culprit, ended the chaotic scene, and then comforted the victims. Jia also has a way to comfort people:

"What's the matter! Children are young and greedy cats and can't protect themselves. The whole world has played like this since childhood. " It's all my fault. She took two more sips of wine and became jealous again. "

First of all, play down Jia Lian's affair, because he is young and can't stay. In ancient society, there was no such thing as a man being loyal to his wife. It is accepted by Grandmother Jia that aristocratic men have many wives and concubines, and so is everything that Wang Xifeng faces.

Grandmother Jia faced her husband's six concubines, and they all accepted. Why Otokoyo? It is described in detail in Chapter 55. I don't know if you have noticed.

When Tanchun was a housekeeper, Aunt Zhao's brother died, and the Wu family came to ask about the silver reward. Tanchun asked the old lady's aunt's wife how much money she had received from the dead at home. The old lady's aunt is naturally Jia Daishan's aunt.

The Wu family took the old scores and read, "Two people each get 220 taels, two people each get 420 taels, and two people each get 122 taels and 622 taels because of special circumstances.". The family is like Aunt Zhao, who has changed from a servant girl to a concubine. The ones outside are like xiren, bought outside. There are six old aunts rewarding silver in the old scores, which means that Jia Daishan has at least six concubines.

Tanchun, as a grandson, can know these aunts and grandmothers. It can be inferred that Jia accepted them and treated them well, instead of sending everyone around Jia Lian away from Xifeng, Rainbow, and even her dowry girl died and left, leaving only a Pinger. Pinger was so loyal to her, her eyes were fixed on Pinger, and Pinger had almost no chance to be with Jia Lian.

"The whole world has played like this since childhood." Jia is using his own experience to remind Wang Xifeng to restrain his behavior and not to show jealous women. People from top to bottom are watching, which is not good for her as a housekeeper.

"It's all my fault." Jia Mu is shifting the focus of contradiction, because it was Jia Mu who made Wang Xifeng drink more wine before such a thing happened. If she didn't drink, Wang Xifeng wouldn't be so humiliated. Grandmother Jia deliberately said this, downplaying the incident, shifting contradictions and calming Wang Xifeng's anger.

She took two more sips of wine and became jealous again. This sentence has a playful tone, which makes everyone laugh. In fact, it is also comforting Wang Xifeng. This is no big deal.

Knowing that Ping-erh suffered indignities at both ends, Grandmother Jia sent Amber to the garden to comfort Ping-erh: "Just say: I know she has been wronged, and I will ask Xi-feng to make amends tomorrow." Today is her teacher's day. Don't let her fool around. "

Grandmother Jia's arrangement was fair, and Pinger was very comforted. Pinger also felt that there was light on her face and gradually got better.

The next day, Grandmother Jia arranged for Jia Lian to make an apology to Xifeng and Pinger in front of everyone, and asked Xifeng to make an apology to Pinger. The storm is calm.

Jia is a man who has seen big waves. When she was a housekeeper, it was the heyday of this family, the ups and downs of the family, and the human relations of the princes and nobles. How many complicated things she handled. So in the face of complicated problems, she is very calm and calm, and can handle the whole thing fairly and reasonably, without leaking details, including sending someone to comfort Pinger.

How does Jia Mu respond to Baochai's flattery?

Hearing this, Grandmother Jia said, "Now that I'm old, it's a coincidence. On that day, I was as old as Brother Feng, and I came more often. Although she is not as good as us now, she is better than your aunt. Your aunt is pathetic, doesn't talk much, and like a log, she doesn't make a good appearance in front of her in-laws. " Fenger has a good mouth. How can she complain that people love her? "

Jia's answer gave us the following information:

First, Jia confidently and generously admitted that his management ability was extraordinary when he was young. Xifeng is better now, but she is still not as good as herself. Does this self-confidence make everyone present admire you, because Jia is speaking with facts, and she has such self-confidence.

Second, the old lady is a veteran. Even if she is compared with Feng, she is also comparing herself with Feng when she was young. It is because she is old that she will delegate power, unlike some people who refuse to accept old age and delegate power.

Serving the elderly is always in line with the pace of life, and people are not as good as young people when they are old. Managing such a big family is actually a very energy-consuming thing. Jia Jia delegated the housework to Wang Xifeng, basically staying out of it, and enjoying himself. Talking and laughing with grandchildren, watching plays, listening to books, enjoying flowers and listening to songs, arranged their later life in a colorful way.

Thirdly, we can also see that the Jia family supports the housekeeper Wang Xifeng for two important reasons. One is because Wang Xifeng is capable, and the other is because Wang Xifeng has a good mouth and can talk, which can please the Jia family.

Grandmother Jia sent Wang Xifeng as a housekeeper, not completely letting her go, but observing nutrients and coming out to support Wang Xifeng when necessary.

For example, on the 40th time, Jia Mu asked Wang Xifeng to change the silver-red "Xia Ying yarn" for Xiaoxiang Pavilion. There is no criticism, but it seems to mention Wang Xifeng: as a housekeeper, you can't neglect the helpless Daiyu, and you should take care of all aspects of your life.

The reason why Jia Mu took everyone to celebrate Wang Xifeng's birthday is actually a recognition of Wang Xifeng's housekeeping ability and a support for Wang Xifeng's power.

Fourthly, we can also see that Mrs. Wang is not as good as Wang Xifeng in terms of housekeeping ability. Fu Rong is the housekeeper of Wang Xifeng, not Mrs. Wang, because Mrs. Wang loves cleanliness and eats fast food every day. In fact, her lack of ability is the most important reason. Therefore, Jia also supports Wang Xifeng as a housekeeper. Mrs. Wang doesn't please the old lady very much, but the old lady seems to be very tolerant of her and calls her "poor"

When she was old, Jia basically stopped meddling in the management of family affairs, but when necessary, she would still stand up and be thunderous. Only then did people realize that ginger was still old and spicy.

Jia went out in person because of internal management confusion, and she had to go out in person to stabilize the situation.

Chapter 55 is the turning point of the book. Before that, Fu Rong was basically a happy scene, and although there were minor internal contradictions, it was basically able to maintain an orderly situation.

The fifty-fifth time, Wang Xifeng miscarried and was weak. After half a year's efforts, her body is still not well nursed back to health. Mrs Wang asked Li Wan, Tan Chun and Baochai to take care of the house.

Baochai is a housekeeper, but she is still an outsider. Tanchun is fierce, but after all, she is an unmarried lady and was born to her aunt. It is also true that those naughty slaves in Fu Rong don't take her seriously. Li Wan is a good man, not to mention. So then the problem surfaced. When Jia Mu heard that someone jumped off the wall at night, she was very angry and investigated the matter.

Then Tanchun came out and said that there was a scene of playing cards and gambling in the garden. Grandmother Jia quickly said, "Since you know, why didn't you come back earlier?" Tanchun said she was worried about her wife, and she didn't come back after days of discomfort.

In fact, why go back and forth in spring? Mrs. Wang has long known that there is card gambling in the garden. Lady Wang asked Baochai to come out to help the housekeeper. Baochai said, "The old lady is useless. They have to drink and play cards, sleep during the day and play cards at night. I know. " It can be seen that Mrs. Wang knew these problems for a long time, but she didn't take them seriously at all and didn't try to solve them. Even though she entrusted Baochai as the housekeeper, she didn't let Baochai consider solving this problem completely.

"You work hard for me for two days, take good care of it, tell me what's the accident, don't wait for the old lady to ask, I have nothing to say when I go back. Those people are not good, just say, they won't listen, and you come back to me. Just don't make a fuss. "

See, all Mrs. Wang wants is to keep calm, not to make a scene, especially not to let the old lady know.

Baochai, the housekeeper, can only give a little kindness to let the old ladies restrain themselves. Tanchun tried to increase revenue and reduce expenditure in the Grand View Garden, and Baochai distributed these profitable things to the old ladies in the garden to be reasonable.

"These girls and ladies, you take care of such a big garden, because you are three or four generations of old mothers, and you are the most obedient. It's time for everyone to take care of Qi Xin. You are against indulging others in drinking and gambling at will. My aunt listened and taught you a lesson. If the housekeeper hears you and teaches you something, you old people will learn from your youth. " Why don't you keep some dignity? How can they behave? "

"So now I have come up with this extra benefit for you, and I am also careful and innovative for everyone to make this garden comprehensive."

These women promised well on the spot:

"Grandma cares about us so much. If we don't feel physically, the world can't hold it."

It's a pity that these naughty slaves only have interests in their eyes, and then they forget what they said. There is still drinking and gambling in the garden.

Jia listened to Tanchun's words and was very shocked and attached great importance to it. She knows it's terrible, because drinking and gambling at night is likely to attract thieves. Jia's guess is right. There have been thefts in the Jia family before, and there have also been private meetings between Siqi and Pan Youan in the garden. These are all due to the chaotic management of the Jia family.

Grandmother Jia's method of thorough investigation is: those who reward the newspaper will be punished for not reporting it.

Soon find out, big head home three people, small head home eight people, gambling system * * * more than 20 people.

What if you find out? Severely punish!

Three big heads hit forty boards and drove them out, but they were never allowed to go in again. Followers were beaten 20 times, three months' salary was taken away, and they were also punished for cleaning toilets.

All the money was confiscated and scattered, and all the dice cards were burned.

The housekeeper also recorded a demerit and taught him a good lesson.

Is it thorough enough? Who dares to drink and gamble again?

Moreover, Jia Jia showed no mercy in this matter, and Yingchun's wet nurse was also punished among the three big heads. It's useless for Daiyu, Baochai, Tanchun and others to beg again.

"You don't know, about these tits, one by one is better than others, and more hateful than others. Leave it alone. I have my own reasons. "

This big problem in Jia Fu's management-unruly slaves gathered to drink and gamble, and Wang Xifeng suppressed it with majesty, but when she got sick, these unruly slaves became presumptuous. Mrs. Wang keeps calm on the surface, and she is willing to be clean as long as the old lady doesn't ask. Baochai's small kindness and gentle persuasion made these unruly slaves restrain themselves and manage the garden well. However, none of them had a good effect, which led to confusion and loopholes in Fu Rong's internal management, leading to theft and adultery in the park. Finally, Jia Jia solved it with the wrath of thunder.

In a word, Jia Mu has excellent management ability. She had the best time running this family. When she enters old age, she should delegate power when it is time, and it is absolutely unambiguous when it is time to delegate power. Unfortunately, her trusted successor, Wang Xifeng, was extremely greedy for power and money, which accelerated the decline of this family.
