Passerby's daily life

Chapter 10
Liu'er didn't come back until after dinner, carrying a big burden on her back, and said after closing the door after entering the room: "But I'm exhausted." Ning Cui stepped forward to take the burden, it was really not light.

Susu hurriedly poured water for Liu'er, and Liu'er took a long gulp before saying: "My grandfather said that as long as we can really learn a few words, he will bring these things if we don't have enough!"

Liu'er said as she untied the package, inside were four sets of four treasures of the study, not expensive, but for beginners it was pretty good.

I don't know much about other Susu, but the thick stack of paper is white and smooth, made by the Emperor Shengzu himself, and there are four copies of the same copybook and one "Thousand Characters".

Bisi looked at these things and said, "Grandpa Joe will spend money."

These things cost tens of taels of silver at worst, and she wanted to give the silver, but also thought that Su Su had just arrived and didn't have much savings in her hands, so she would be embarrassed by saying this, and she didn't know what to say for a while!
Although Liu'er has the most carefree temper, whoever can serve in the old lady's yard is a fool, and she can know what Bisi is thinking when she rolls her eyes, "Don't embarrass me!"

Susu also thought about money, and when she was about to speak, Liu Er said this, saying: "You are beginners, but you don't really need such good things, why don't you let the housekeeper retreat."

Liu'er couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this: "My dear Susu, my grandfather is the housekeeper of the Song Mansion after all, what kind of trouble is this for returning the goods worth tens of taels of silver? We are the people in the old lady's room. The money is being fought over and over, and if outsiders know about it, they will laugh at us for being short-sighted. Don’t say that you have what you have and don’t have it, otherwise I will be annoyed.”

Liu'er sullenly saw the other three people pretending to be scared, she couldn't help but burst out laughing, the four of them laughed for a long time, feeling closer.

Liu'er said again: "My grandpa said to thank Susu, go to my house for tea another day, and ask my mother to cook something delicious for you." Then whispered: "My grandpa also said, let Susu secretly teach you We, after we know a few words, we will quietly tell Sister Pearl that we will cross the Ming Road in front of the old lady, so that people will not talk about it."

Su Su nodded again and again, as expected of a big butler, she was thinking about everything.

Just entering the twelfth lunar month, I feel that the taste of the new year has come out. At the end of November, Susu, who has just come to Song's house for a few days, also has a month's monthly money.

In the Song Mansion, the monthly money for the eldest maid is two taels, for the second-class maids is one tael, for the third-class maids is five taels of silver, and for rough envoys is two hundred cash.

That's why Su Su knew that the founding emperor of Great Chu had re-unified weights and measures. In terms of silver coins: one tael of silver = ten coins = one thousand copper coins, ten taels of silver = one tael of gold.

Because of the developed economy and rich products, the purchasing power of silver is very high. One tael of silver can buy two stones of ordinary rice (one stone is set as one hundred catties), one penny can buy two steamed buns or one meat bun, and pork twenty pennies a penny. Two taels of silver a month is enough for a well-off family.

Regarding the land, the fields in the south are more expensive than those in the suburbs of Beijing, and the best good farmland costs between 12 taels and 15 taels of silver.

And the jewelry rewards Susu got at the Song family in the past few days can buy ten acres of fertile land.

No wonder Xiren in "Dream of Red Mansions" only worked as a maid for a few years, and the family bought land and real estate!The Song family is much richer than the Jia family.

During this period, Susu also met several other masters of the Song family: the elder is only about [-] years old, with a very elegant temperament, not like a businessman who is like a Taoist.

The eldest wife, Le Shi, is the daughter of a minor official, and she is very good at appearance.

The children of the big house include the eldest son and the eldest daughter who were born on the same day. This is a pair of twins, 12 years old this year.

The fourth young master from a concubine is eight years old, and the fourth girl from a concubine is seven years old.

The second master is 26 and seven years old, and he is rarely good-looking, but his health is not very good, and now he has passed the Juren examination.

The second wife, Mrs. Chang, is the daughter of a scholar. It is said that the family is poor, but she still puts on the airs of a scholar and doesn't pay attention to anyone. She has a bad relationship with the second master. She only gave birth to a second daughter who was born on the right , ten years old this year.

The second master has two concubines, and he gave birth to the second concubine's eldest son, the second young master, who is nine years old, and the third young master and third girl, both of whom are eight years old.

The third master is a concubine, but his aunt has passed away since his little aunt, and he was raised under the old lady's knees. He married Li Shi, the niece of the old lady's family who was a concubine, and gave birth to a son, the fifth young master, who just passed his sixth birthday. The six-year-old girl, and Aunt Gao, a concubine, gave birth to the fifth girl, who is five years old this year.

As for the grandchildren of the old lady, only the third-bedroom children are close to their grandmothers.

The grandchildren of the second bedroom of the eldest family moved to the outer courtyard for education because they were over six years old. On holidays, they went to the inner courtyard to greet the old lady, and they could say a few words.

The remaining two daughters-in-law, the eldest girl and the second girl, even asked for peace just for the sake of face.

The old lady didn't bother to see her anymore, so she just asked her daughter-in-law and granddaughter to come and greet her on the fifteenth day of the lunar new year.

Liu'er secretly mentioned these things to Susu, which made Susu very sad for the old lady, but fortunately, the old lady could think about it.

Every day, Susu would find time to teach her roommates to learn how to read, from holding a pen to sitting posture to grinding and laying paper. Anyway, Susu taught them how the former Mr. Liguo's Mansion taught the original owners.

To learn five characters a day, you must not only be able to read and write, but also understand the meaning and be able to form words and sentences.

Unexpectedly, even Liu Er, who is usually the most restless, can persist.

Su Su didn't know that Liu'er had guaranteed her ticket in front of her grandfather.

Susu and the others revealed their letter in front of Pearl within a few days, but Pearl didn't say anything, so they and Susu were only asked to study hard.

On the day of Laba, the old lady drank Laba porridge early in the morning. After her son, daughter-in-law, grandchildren and grandchildren greeted her, they all dispersed. The old lady felt a little depressed.

At this moment Pearl smiled and said, "I want to congratulate the old lady!"

The old lady was a little puzzled, "What happy event?"

"Isn't it a happy event for the old lady to have a few talented women?"

As Pearl said, she told Susu how Liuer and the others learned to read.

"Liu'er told the maidservant, Sister Pearl, from now on I won't be called Liu'er, but Yangliu, Yangliu Yiyi's Yangliu."

Pearl imitated Liu'er's arrogant appearance ten percent, the old lady who was serving tea almost choked, pointing at Pearl and scolding with a smile: "You little ghost!"

Then he couldn't help laughing and said: "Call those four girls in quickly, and let me see that Yangliu Yiyi's Yangliu too!"

Several servant girls in the inner room laughed together.

Fei Cui went to the outside and shouted: "Ning Cui, Bi Si, Su Su come in, the old lady wants to meet, and there is Yang Liu Yiyi."

This sentence made the old lady point out that she didn't know what to say.

　The baby wakes up at four o'clock, papa, playing now, Sister Fat has a new update! ps: Sister Fat is studying psychology, but she also tends to suffer from postpartum depression after giving birth. I am slowly adjusting. To be honest, being a mother is really not easy.
