The Red Mansions

Chapter 191 The vigilance of Ping'er, the belonging of Qingwen and Muskyue

The sky is bright.

Xiangling, Xiang'er, Jing'er, and Shuangqing filed in and came to Ping'er's room.

Although their movements were light, Ping'er still woke up with a start.

After all, she is a maid, she has always served others, and she has never been served by others, so she is not used to it.

Jia Yun squinted her eyes, and whispered, "Go to sleep a little longer, I'll go to the Yamen right now, it's not convenient for you to go back to Jia's mansion now that you're up."

Ping'er shook his head and said, "I'm not going to sleep anymore, just let me wait on you for a while."

The two got out of bed.

Ping'er sized up Xiang'er, Jing'er, and Shuangqing, his eyes lit up, and he asked curiously, "Which of you is Xianger? Who is Jinger? Who is Shuangqing?"

As for Xiangling, she knew it.

Xiang'er and the others stepped forward and each introduced their names.

Ping'er nodded with a smile and said: "Sure enough, they are all outstanding, compared to me."

While speaking, Ping'er quickly put on her clothes, tied her hair in a casual way, and came over to serve Jia Yun to put on.

"Don't blame me for stealing your work today, I seldom come here, I just want to serve him once." Ping'er said softly.

Xiang'er and the others covered their mouths and snickered, thinking that Ping'er was quite interesting.

Jia Yun looked at them silently, yawning continuously, and after getting dressed, she began to wash again.

Then Ping'er brought a wooden comb and combed his hair gently but efficiently.

Jia Yun asked: "How old have you started to learn to serve others?"

"Can't remember clearly, maybe five or six years old!" Ping'er thought for a while and replied.

Jia Yun pondered for a moment, then asked again: "Do you still remember your family?"

Ping'er shook his head and said: "I don't remember clearly, but I vaguely remember that I came to the capital with my family and was sold to the Wang family. Later, when I was seven or eight years old, I followed my grandma."

Jia Yun glanced at her from the bronze mirror and asked, "Have you thought about finding your family?"

"I never thought about it. After all, I was separated from them when I was very young. I have nothing to think about." Ping'er pursed her lips and replied.

Jia Yun hummed, and held her hand holding the comb with her right hand, and said softly: "If you follow me, you have to learn how to be served by others, you know!"

Ping'er's nose was sore, he opened his mouth and let out a breath, nodded silently, and continued to comb Jia Yun's hair.

This feeling of being cared for by others softened her heart the most.

After all, no one is born to love serving others.

Jia Yun didn't say anything more.

Among the maidservants in Jia's mansion, Ping'er was his favorite.

He likes her even more than Xiren.

Ping'er is pretty, with a gentle and considerate personality, and all aspects fall on his heart.

That's why he asked her so many things just now, and reminded her of her future destination.

It can be seen that Ping'er seems a little nervous because Xiang'er is waiting for the girl.

After all, among the girls in the room at the moment, there is one, count as one, and they all have their own specialties.

For example, Xiangling has been able to write poems since she went to school, not to mention Xianger, who knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

But Ping'er, who doesn't know a single big character, knows how to be a female celebrity, but this is the basic skill of a daughter's family, who can't?
Because of this, she felt the pressure, and even the servant girl was not allowed to come in to serve her.

Soon, Ping'er combed Jia Yun's hair and showed him a bronze mirror.

Jia Yun took a few glances and said with satisfaction: "Very good, that's it!"

Standing up, he looked directly into Ping'er's eyes and said solemnly: "Remember what I just said!"

"Well, Lord, I remember!" Ping'er pursed his lips and replied seriously.

Jia Yun chuckled, walked out, and said: "I'll go to the yamen first, eat outside in the morning, Ping'er, after you eat, go back to Jia's mansion, Xiangling and you guys will serve Ping'er."

Xiangling bowed a few times, and after Jia Yun left, they all came to Ping'er, talked around her, and wanted to help her comb her hair.

Ping'er thought for a while, nodded and handed the comb to Xiangling, and slowly sat down in front of the dressing table, her thoughts were indescribably complicated.

After Jia Yun went out, she got into the official sedan chair and went to Xuncheng Yamen to handle daily business.

Most of the cases he handles here are public security incidents, and those that go beyond the scope of public security have to be handed over to Shuntian Mansion or the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment.

For example, cases of adultery, human life, robbery, occupation, fraud, abduction, marriage, debt, exculpation, grievances and other types of cases are all handed over.

Bing Ma Si and Patrol Battalion only assisted in the arrest of criminals, but did not help in the investigation of the case. This was the responsibility of Shuntian Mansion and the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Such as fighting, neighborhood quarrels, riots, riots, prison violence, prison robbery, robbery of the execution ground, large-scale weapon fights, etc., the soldiers and horses and the patrol battalion have the right to deal with them.

During this period of time, with the deepening of the reform of the Bingma Division, the public security in the capital has improved a lot.

Especially after joining forces with Shuntian Prefecture to crack down on gangsters, all kinds of public security cases have basically decreased by half, and even fewer cases can be reported to Jia Yun.

Even so, there are still many official documents that Jia Yun needs to instruct.

After all, the capital is so big, with more than 80 people, there are quite a lot of bad things happening every day.

However, it is generally difficult for those who report to him, and the commanders and envoys of the five cities' soldiers and horses can't make up their minds.

It is up to Jia Yun to decide whether to stay in Bingmasi or hand over to Shuntian Mansion or the Ministry of Punishment.

Jia Yun can't easily leave this matter to the hands of others, and must give instructions by himself. After all, this is his right and responsibility, and he must not be sloppy.

In the next few days, Jia Yun would work in the yamen every single day, and go to the patrol camp outside the city to supervise the training of the soldiers every two days.

Since Emperor Longtai inspected the patrol camp, Jia Yun's emphasis on the patrol camp has increased by several levels.

From all aspects, the patrol camp has become an important force for Emperor Longtai to control the Beijing camp.

In the future, if something happens to the Beijing camp, the patrolling camp will go to suppress it, so Jia Yun dare not slack off.

Busy days always go by very quickly, and it will be May 27 in a blink of an eye.

evening.

When Jia Yun returned home from Xuncheng Yamen, Jia Dailing and other patriarchs and elders had been waiting at his house for a long time.

After seeing the ceremony and exchanging pleasantries, Jia Dailing said: "The people of the tribe have all notified that the ancestral hall will be opened early in the morning to worship the ancestors, and the family tree will be revised at the same time."

"Don't worry, old ancestor, I will definitely attend on time tomorrow." Jia Yun cupped her hands.

After all, after preparing for such a long time, no matter how busy he was, he would not dare to release the pigeons, otherwise the clan would scold him to death.

Having received Jia Yun's letter of approval, Jia Dailing and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, Jia Dailingchi questioned: "Brother Yun, the masters of the free school..."

"Oh, they will also go to the volunteer school to report tomorrow morning, don't worry, it's all agreed." Jia Yun replied quickly.

No wonder these people came so together, it is estimated that this is something that other Fang clan people value.

Jia Yun continued: "As for the job arrangements for the clansmen, as long as they have signed up, they will all be arranged. On the first day of next month, they will all go to Shibafang to report."

Jia Dailing said happily: "That's good, Brother Yun is reliable in his work! With a stable income, who will dare to say that our Jia family is poor in the future?"

Jia Yun said with a dry smile: "Old ancestor, I have to say first, the errands arranged for the clansmen are temporarily assigned according to their specialties, and most of them can earn a living. It is impossible to earn a fortune. of."

Jia Dailing was startled, and suddenly said: "That's right, I'm overjoyed, but it's not bad to have enough food and clothing, and last time you said that you would find someone to teach them crafts, is this really true? "

"Of course this is true. That's why I said it was only for the time being. If they can concentrate on learning the craft in the future, they will naturally be able to earn money to support their families." Jia Yun affirmed.

After whispering to each other for a while, Jia Dailing and the other clan heads turned around and said:

"That's great. Brother Yun gave them a chance, so it's very rare. How they live in the future depends on themselves."

Jia Yun nodded and said: "That's the reason. After all, the Xue family's workshop is not specially used to support idlers. If there are people from the clan who steal and cheat, it will definitely not work."

"So for the sake of long-term planning, the clan still needs to give the clan members good advice, so that they don't think that I'm going to enjoy my blessings, and that I will become a villain instead!"

Jia Dailing and others said no, and let Jia Yun Zhiguan rest assured that they will keep a close eye on the tribe, and whoever dares to be arrogant and domineering, the first in the tribe will not spare him.

For what the patriarchs said, Jia Yun had one ear in and the other out.

He can foresee right now that the situation he said will definitely happen, and a group of people will definitely be dealt with at Shibafang.

The reason why Jia Yun mentioned this in advance was just to get a vaccination.

For those who always want to dawdle, the stewards of the workshop have ways to deal with them.

As for whether she will offend others, Jia Yun doesn't care anymore.

After all, there are very few disobedient people, and it doesn't matter if those unattractive clansmen are offended.

Besides, Shibafang dealt with them, so they have no reason to blame themselves, right?

In the evening, Jia Yun invited Jia Dailing and others to stay for dinner.

This time they didn't refuse, and the meal didn't end until very late.

At the door, after seeing off Jia Dailing and others, Jia Yun let out a long breath.

To be honest, Jia Yun didn't like dealing with these patriarchs and elders very much.

Because his seniority is too low, even if he is an official, he can only pretend to be a grandson in front of them, which makes him very uncomfortable.

But to live in this world, one cannot do without human sophistication, especially in the ancient times when clans governed families, it was inevitable to deal with patriarchs and elders.

Therefore, Jia Yun is also learning and adapting to deal with this relationship in many ways.

Back in the courtyard, under the bright lights, Xiren waited there with Qingwen and Sheyue.

Jia Yun frowned and said, "Didn't I say that, let the girl in my room do the serving, you don't need to come here often."

"A concubine is meant to serve others. If she doesn't serve the master for a day, it's like losing her soul." Xiren pursed his lips and smiled.

Jia Yun put her hand on her forehead and nodded, saying, "You, I won't let you enjoy yourself!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Qingwen and Sheyue again, and sighed secretly.

These two maids were kicked out of the house because they objected to Jia Baoyu's letting the young servants into the house to serve them, so they came to join Xiren.

In this way, it seems that by accident, he got all of Jia Baoyu's big maids.
