Chapter 1244 Gengzijuan has shortcomings (First update, please vote!)
Just when the Grand View Garden of Rongguo Mansion was noisy for a while, Feng Ziying had already fallen asleep with Shen Yixiu in her arms.
Compared with the bustle 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. Still a little uncomfortable with it.
Even Feng Ziying herself felt that her house was still too quiet and lacked the atmosphere of the New Year. However, this was her second New Year after getting married. Compared with last year's New Year, this New Year's Eve was still a little livelier. , it seems that next year I will have to find ways to create a New Year atmosphere. This is not only a lively thing, but also a necessary measure to gather the energy and centripetal force of the family.
At present, the servants of Feng Mansion are mainly divided into several groups.
One group is the servants who have followed Feng Tang and the Duan family since Datong. They include some of the family members who have changed their surname to Feng, their children, personal followers and their family members. This group of people is not large in number, only ten or twenty people; On the one hand, the Feng family began to recruit servants after they moved to the capital city. This group was the largest, probably around thirty or forty people; there were also some villagers who came to join them from their respective hometowns such as Datong and Linqing, and the number was also about the same. There were about ten or twenty people.
The rest are Shen Yixiu, Xue Baochai, Xue Baoqin and other servants from their natal families who were 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 was hired after settling in the capital city is the largest, but it only lasts 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 big 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.
Similarly, it is also a step-by-step process for those villagers from Datong and Linqing, and the servants brought by the matrons from their natal families to become the Feng family and integrate into one. How to bring these people in as soon as possible? They need various measures to achieve a sense of belonging and unity, and even consciously become a member of the Feng family.
Raising 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 in decline, it is more of a problem with the person in charge of the Jia family, and 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 Giving leave or even some rewards are very effective methods.
"Ms. sir, Sister Baochai and Sister Baoqin have their own merits. When we were together earlier, what Sister Baochai said made sense to me." Shen Yixiu stood next to her husband and put her 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 of 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 operating procedures in the house. 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. Surprised and curious, Yi Xiu naturally agreed, and after exchanging pleasantries, the topic slowly came up.
Obviously Baochai came well prepared. Although she was married less than twenty days ago, 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 households. Of course 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.
Baochai still struggled with 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 actively listen to the conversation between Xue Biao and Xue Biao, Baochai knew that it was time for her to express her voice and establish her own image at the right time.
But she did not choose to propose it to her mother-in-laws rashly. Instead, she discussed it with Shen Yixiu, the head of the house. It must be said that this was a very clever method.
It was this method that made Shen Yixiu have to improve Baochai's impression.
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 much. 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 Shang Chang's face was still flushed and he was about to struggle out of bed, so he said: "Yun Shang, just lie 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 Sang still 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 because of her favor. 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 Mr. Wan 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, and the master often went to war, and even the family moved with him. The people here also stayed and left, increasing or decreasing, so basically no decent customization was formed. It was not until Jingzhong 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 there are two other 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 just so 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."
"Then what does Wan Jun plan 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 both Shen Yixiu and Baochai feel it is necessary to handle matters in this family, this should be 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 come back to argue. "
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, so 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 like this. 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 told her not to come. When she gets annoyed, my mother likes to tease the birds, listen to operas, recite Buddha's name, and then go to the temple for a walk..." Feng Ziying laughed, "I quite envy my mother's temperament, open-mindedness, and open-mindedness, so I said that my mother's ability to live a hundred years was all due to this kind of character. Apart from my marriage and the family affairs of the Feng family, my mother really didn't worry about anything else."
