The count's concubine room is open. This Zhang is not Zhang, nor is it with Mrs. Zhang, the British public servant who has become close friends and the successor wife of General Shen.
Aunt Zhang of the Earl's Loyalty House was personally selected by a good family and Lady Shoushan. Loyalty and righteousness nodded in person and agreed to be a concubine. It was this Zhang who defeated Zhong Qin Bo's wife Yuan and made her lose the right to be a housekeeper.
So how did this Zhang do this step? Let's look for the answer from the original.
There are two big backers behind her, which makes her not afraid of Mrs. Yuan.
Mrs. Yuan's evil deeds for so many years have always been seen by Mrs. Shou Shanbo, Zhong Qinbo's sister. After all, she was born in Yuan Jia, and Zhong Qin Bo is her own brother. Mrs. Shoushan naturally can't bear to see it, and Mrs. Yuan has been messing around like this, making Yuan's family malodorous.
So I decided to find a concubine room for Shoushan Bo to stop Mrs. Yuan from fooling around, so as not to break up the Yuan family. So she found a sensible and virtuous Zhang from the outside to be a loyal and diligent concubine, so the patron behind Zhang is not Mrs. Shoushan Bo.
At the same time, this aunt is gentle and considerate, and is very kind to everyone. It can be said that it moistened Zhong Qin Bo's dried-up heart for a long time and won Zhong Qinbo's love. So Zhang stood behind Yuan Jia's official loyalty.
Zhang has a loyal and hardworking sister, Mrs. Shoushanbo, as a backer, and her husband, Bo, to support herself. Plus, she has a good family, and her family is behind her. Naturally, she is not afraid of Mrs. Yuan and dares to fight with her.
She is sensible and resourceful, and others give her advice.
Zhang is an extremely clever man. The most important thing is to be reasonable, unlike Mrs. Yuan, who was ignorant and took Yuan's property to help her family, which eventually led to nearly half of the property deficit accumulated by Yuan's family for many years.
This piece of ice and snow is clever, and it didn't take long to see the problems existing in Yuan Jia. However, she didn't directly tell the crux of the problem, but threw a question to Master Yuan: Why did Yuan's family save money? Guide Master Yuan to discover Mrs. Yuan's evil deeds, let Mrs. Yuan lose the power of housekeeper first, and then naturally fall into her own hands.
In the play, it was Ming Lan who first proposed that Zhong Qin should marry a concubine. Later, Hua Lan suggested a concubine to Mrs. Shoushanbo. So, even if this aunt is incompetent again, there are still three people behind her, Mrs. Hua Lan, Mrs. Shoushan Bo, who give her advice, much better than Mrs. Yuan.
Grandma Hualan couldn't stop your concubine from entering the house, so she thought about tossing others after entering the house. It happened that Aunt Zhang was gentle and considerate and very kind to people. No matter how picky her mother-in-law Hua Lan is, she can't find fault with others. Grandma Hua Lan insisted on making trouble without reason and punished others for kneeling and slapping. Aunt Zhang didn't say anything. At night, she showed her father-in-law Hualan a face full of scars.
Grandpa Hua Lan felt sorry for the concubine and asked his wife angrily why. Grandma Hualan couldn't say why, so she had to say that she was rude and angered me.
Punishment for no reason, Zhong Qin's uncle was furious, saying that she was jealous and made seven rules. In ancient times, the seven laws meant: not filial to parents; No children; Prostitution; Jealousy; Got a serious illness; Talk a lot; Stealing. The article, also known as the "Seven Musts", is one of the seven articles that a husband and wife should have when divorcing in ancient China laws and customs. When the wife meets one of the conditions, the husband and his family can ask for a divorce. Grandma Hua Lan is jealous, which is one of them.
Hualan's mother-in-law was punished by her uncle for two days in the ancestral temple, and she didn't dare to embarrass Aunt Zhang too much. Since we can't take advantage of concubines, Hualan's mother-in-law began to pick up the "soft persimmon pinch" and asked the government to expand and let Hualan take out the dowry to supplement the family.
This aunt Zhang is very clever. She knows that if she wants to gain a foothold in Bofu, she must rely on her backer. It is not enough to rely on the favor of the old uncle, but also to win over the daughter-in-law of the second child. The so-called: the enemy of the enemy is a friend, so under the encouragement of Aunt Zhang's pillow wind,
The old man asked to check Bofu's accounts.
Grandma Hua Lan was frightened and refused to audit the accounts. The more she did, the more determined she was to audit the accounts. Sure enough, I found that Hualan's mother-in-law took out a large sum of money from her pocket every year to subsidize her family. Yuan lost almost half of the savings he had worked so hard to save over the years.
This result greatly surprised the Yuan family. Originally, Hualan wanted her father-in-law to feel that Bofu was fairly well-off and didn't have to deduct his daughter-in-law's dowry. The eldest son of Hualan's mother-in-law will inherit the title of Yuan Jiajue in the future. At first glance, he has no money, just an empty shell, and has no good face for his old mother.
The most angry is Uncle Zhong Qin. In a rage, he deprived Mrs. Yuan of her financial power forever, leaving her two daughters-in-law as housekeepers. Aunt Zhang told herself that in short, Mrs. Yuan could not intervene in the family's finances in the future.
