Passerby's daily life

Chapter 107 Darkness Chen Cang
Yang Liu returned to Huang's house after seeing the imperial physician, while Su Su stayed until August [-]th, and agreed to come back on September [-]th before the old lady released her.

Before leaving, the cart was full of things, which gave Susu the illusion of "beating the autumn wind", or "beating the local tyrants?" In short, I was quite uncomfortable, but I also knew that the old lady was definitely kind. Just wait for the next time to make something new and rare as a gift in return.

Susu had promised Fendai and the others to take them around the capital long ago. Susu herself had important things to do, so Susu sent someone to Zhuangzi to deliver a letter early in the morning, and when she asked the carriage in Zhuangzi to come pick her up, by the way Bringing three or four wives and servants here, it is impossible for her to go to the street alone with four little girls. If any bloody plot of "hero saves the beauty" happens, Su Su is afraid that she will have nowhere to cry.

Susu naturally told the old lady that she wanted to take a stroll. Although the old lady was a little worried, she didn't say anything after looking at Susu's eager eyes.

Since the child's face has grown and opened up, even Su'an Hall rarely goes out. When he was in Yangzhou, he went out with the little sisters. Since he entered the capital, he really didn't leave the gate. up.

The old lady originally wanted to ask the servants in the mansion to protect Susu to go out, but Susu had thought of this a long time ago, and asked someone to send her mother-in-law and servant.

Seeing this, the old lady felt relieved a little, and only told her again and again that she must never take off her hat and never leave people around her. Susu smiled and agreed one by one. After lunch, I bid farewell to the old lady.

The carriage with the luggage went back to Zhuangzi first, and Susu took four maids, three stout women and four servants, and went to the street in two carriages separately.

The extra carriage was naturally added by Susu later, the carriage was just made of elm wood, and Susu drew the picture himself, even though he asked for more, it only cost 20 taels of silver.

But an ordinary horse costs 80 taels of silver at the cheapest, and in the future, it will have to pay for fodder, bean cakes and other fodder. Susu felt at that moment that she really didn't have much money in her hand.

If she just sits and eats, she will not be able to pay for her extravagant expenses in the future.

It was also at this moment that Susu realized that, not to mention Yangliu, even she, no matter how beautiful she was, hadn't adapted to the life outside, and acted as she did when she was in the uncle's mansion.

Just talking about the bird's nest and tuckahoe cream that she eats every day, and the snow clams, ganoderma powder, and donkey-hide gelatin that she eats once in a while is a big expense.

Fortunately, when she left the house, the old lady gave a big bag of the best bird's nest, about three or four catties, and the wife of the Shizi also gave some precious and nourishing tonics such as red ginseng and ganoderma lucidum.

Yesterday, the old lady asked Yuntong to take two boxes of blood swallows from the mother in the womb and wrap them up for Susu. These alone are enough for Susu to eat for a long time. Thousand 800 taels of silver.

Susu was sitting in the carriage, and the four little maids including Fen Dai had already understood that their master liked to be in a daze when he was free. They didn't know that Susu's mind didn't stop for a while, thinking about it was all about future plans.

Although the four little maids didn't dare to laugh loudly, for fear of disturbing the girl, but it was you who touched me and I pushed you, and I was very happy.

Not to mention that the girl really wants to take them for a stroll, even this trip to the uncle's mansion has brought a lot of benefits.

The old lady of the uncle's house was very generous and rewarded them with a pair of gold bracelets, both of which were worth three or four.Not to mention the gold, there are actually two rubies the size of lotus seed rice inlaid on it, and the workmanship is also very delicate, not that kind of clumsy and clumsy.

The four little girls all decided not to tell anyone, and kept it as a dowry for themselves in the future. Such things can be regarded as family heirlooms in ordinary families.

There is also Mrs. Shizi who also asked people to reward each of them with clothes of good materials. The grandmother of the Huang family and the other two grandmothers who had become friends with the master also rewarded each of them with two gold coins. Two, it's their monthly payment for half a year, and it can be said to be a rewarding experience.

When Susu came back to her senses, she saw the four little girls squinting their eyes, laughing so hard that their teeth were showing, and said amusedly, "Try to see if the teeth are still there, but don't 'laugh your teeth out'!"

Shui Mo said: "Miss, don't bully your servants who don't read enough. Is this how you laugh your teeth out?"

Fen Dai had the sweetest mouth, "The master and the three grandmas of the uncle's mansion rewarded the slaves for the sake of the girl's face. The slaves are not the kind of shallow-sighted."

Susu nodded at her helplessly, "I didn't say you have shallow eyes, it's just that you are from a girl's family, and you have to smile like a smile." Now the four little girls were a little embarrassed, so they sat down obediently.

Although Susu said that she took them to the street, she definitely didn't just stroll around casually like ordinary people. Susu thought, she was only afraid of [-] yuan or just in case, and it would be fine if something happened.So I could only sit in the carriage and tell the driver where to get off.

Because it was almost noon, Susu promised to take them to "restaurants" that day, so she took a group of people to Wangxianglou first.

The third ring is near the second ring Liulichang (also see the urination of the passer-by), so named because there is a glass workshop run by the royal family here. It is also the most prosperous commercial street in the capital. The people who come and go are either rich or noble. At a glance, they are either sitting in sedan chairs or riding in carriages, and even walking around are hugging each other.

The Wangxiang Building is located in the middle of the Liulichang golden area. It is the most famous restaurant in the capital. It is not one of them. It is one of the properties that the Song family bought in the capital. The Song family dared to do a big job only after the current emperor ascended the throne. Not to mention tens of thousands of taels of silver a year, it is also one of the means of secretly collecting information.

After the old lady came to Beijing, several girls and Susu rated the dishes of Wangxianglou when they were bored. Not to mention Susu's big red seal, Susu also has a gold card for Wangxianglou, which can be discounted by [-]%.

As for the silver card, gold card and gemstone card system, it was not Susu's idea, but one of the business talents shown by Emperor Shengwu who did not give the younger generations a chance to survive. Susu didn't want to complain anymore when he knew it. It can only be said that when I think of it, it is a kind of "pain that can breathe", hehe, "It lives in every corner of my body."

Knowing that the women and servants who followed her would not be happy with herself, Susu simply used the gold card authority to ask for two private rooms. Fen Dai and the others naturally followed Susu, and the rest of them made a group and lived in another room. box.

Fearing that they would not dare to order, Susu randomly mentioned a few famous dishes of Wangxianglou according to the number of people, and added a few common meat dishes, and asked the servants who came with him to recite the Buddha. Have the opportunity to have a meal at Wangxianglou.They were also servants of a big family before, so they were not uninformed, they only listened to the table noodles ordered by the master for them, and there was no ten taels of silver that they couldn't afford.

Readers, please don’t think that ten taels of silver doesn’t sound like much. In fact, the purchasing power is huge. In some novels, a meal costs hundreds or thousands of taels of silver, which is a bit too exaggerated. Bird’s Nest’s gourmet food, a table of 100 taels of silver is enough. If it really cost thousands of taels of silver, it must be more than just eating, maybe it’s called a few "ragged clothes" Young lady, please liven up the atmosphere. (Recently, I was watching "The King Forgive My Life", and I couldn't forget the "little sister" in Lu Shukou.)
Susu took Fendai and four to open another room. After ordering food, before eating, the shopkeeper of Wangxianglou came to see Susu. , I just cheerfully sent over two new dishes from Wangxianglou, and invited Susu to taste them.

In fact, he just came here to get acquainted, even if Susu casually mentioned him to the old lady in the future, it would be more effective than the tens of thousands of taels he earned for the family.

After eating, I got 18% off when I settled the accounts. The two tables totaled [-] taels and seven cents. The shopkeeper made the decision and wiped the three cents and seven cents. expression.Although Susu has realized that money is not worth spending, it will probably take a while before she can change the problem of "taking money as money".After all, when she was in the uncle's mansion, the silver in her hands was at least a few hundred taels, and when it was more, it would be even more evil. She was in charge of the old lady's private house, and the gold and silver were all in boxes.

Coming out of Wangxiang Building, Susu told the coachman, "Go to Jinyu Mantang!" Jinyu Mantang is the most famous jewelry shop in the capital, probably equivalent to Qiaogongge's leading position in Yangzhou Yinlou.

Susu hasn't been shopping since she came to Beijing, but in her memory, she has a little impression of this silver building called "Golden Jade Mantang". As I remember, this shop is one of the dowry shops of the Qin family from the Duke of Yuan’s mansion. Later, when Ruan Qiniang was ten years old, she gave her hands-on training. Thirteenth Niang could get a few pieces of exquisite jewelry produced by "Jin Yu Man Tang" every year. The girl was naturally impressed by this.

But now, this shop has naturally become Ruan Qiniang's dowry, and it is also convenient for Susu to meet her.

As early as returning home, Susu called Bai Fu's family, who had come to the city to give mother Zhao a gift, to take the seal letter from Ruan Qiniang to Jinyumantang to send a letter to Jinyu Mantang, and set up a meeting today.Now she suffers from not having the chance to see Ruan Shiniang, so she can only entrust it to Seventh Sister. If it is later, Tenth Sister will give birth, and it will be too late.

The Jinyu Mantang is divided into two floors, the lower floor is a glass booth, and the upper floor is a rest box. Guests can see the jewelry intuitively, or sit in the box and drink tea while reading jewelry albums, and then look at samples. Modern and popular VIP, one-on-one service.

Susu asked her mother-in-law and servants to wait outside in the carriage, and brought Fendai and four into Jinyu Mantang, and a beautiful "shopping guide" would come over to serve right away.Although she was very eager in her heart, she still had to pretend to browse.The layout of this golden and jade-filled hall is quite modern. Thinking about it, it is probably the masterpiece of the idle and painful Emperor Shengwu.

Although there is no woman who does not love jewelry, it is not surprising that Su Su has seen a lot, not to mention that the No. [-] Yinlou Qiaogong Pavilion in Yangzhou belongs to the Song family, and she has several sets of high-end custom jewelry in her hand.Only Fen and Dai didn't have Susu's concentration, they were only "fascinated" by the colorful jewelry in the glass cabinet, Susu said: "You don't have to follow me, just take a look at yourself, I am happy with this master, Allow each of you a piece of jewelry."

Although Fendai and the others are very excited, but the cheapest piece of silver hairpin is two taels of silver, and the master has already taken them to Wangxianglou for dinner, so why ask the master to buy them more jewelry!

Su Su laughed and said, "If you don't want to be a girl, I won't be so generous in the future, so don't regret it!" Then she said with emotion: "A woman must have a jewel full of gold and jade all her life." Haha, this is gold and jade Mantang's advertisement, yes, is so straightforward and rude.

After hearing this, the four of Fen and Dai gritted their teeth and stomped their feet, and bought it, at worst, pick the cheapest one and pay for it themselves.In the Jinyu Mantang, naturally there is no fear of disciples, because the Jinyu Mantang does not allow men to enter, it is so capricious.In addition, Susu asked for a box and said that she would go in and have tea and wait for them. The four little girls "ran" towards the glass counter with confidence.

In the private room, after the maid served tea and retreated, suddenly the wall on the right flipped, and there was a beautiful young woman in the private room where Susu was originally alone.

Susu didn't expect to see this kind of operation, it felt like an underground party connection, but in fact, her relationship with Ruan Qiniang was really "death".

"Seventh Sister!" Su Su stood up and stepped forward, while Ruan Qiniang looked worried, and first took a good look at Su Su, seeing that there was nothing wrong with her, so she felt relieved.

"I'm so anxious! I got your message. I wanted to go to Song's house to see you, but I was afraid of attracting attention. The past few days have been like years. Why do you need to add the word 'urgent'? ?”

Ruan Qiniang squeezed Susu's little face hard, she hadn't seen her for a while, and her sister looked even more beautiful!
Mrs. Song celebrated her 68th birthday, so she naturally invited all the female relatives from the Annanbo Mansion.Susu found an opportunity to meet with Ruan Qiniang, but there were many people at the time, so she only told Ruan Qiniang her address in Zhuangzi, Tong County, where she was leaving the mansion.

The matter about Ruan Shiniang was afraid that walls have ears, so it was not easy to tell it in front of others, and since then I had no chance to get along alone, so I delayed it.

Ruan Qiniang didn't know the suffering that the other sister was about to suffer, she was only afraid that there would be trouble around Susu.

Susu is engaged now, and I heard that the other party's character, appearance, and status are all good, if there is any right and wrong at this moment, I'm afraid this marriage will be ruined.

Ruan Qiniang still doesn't know that there has been a disturbance in the Shun'anbo Mansion, and Susu's reputation is almost ruined!

Fortunately, the old lady and the elder gave the order to die, and the farce about that farce did not spread outside the house. It is really a blessing in misfortune.

Su Su pulled Ruan Qiniang to sit at the table, and poured her a cup of tea with her own hands, "I'm worried about my sister, it's only important, I can't let others know, I have to meet with my sister in person. It's not my business, but It's about ten sisters."

When Ruan Qiniang heard that it was about Ruan Shiniang, she hurriedly said, "What's wrong with Shiniang? I saw her a few days ago."

Ruan Qiniang felt that her two younger sisters were really ill-fated.Not to mention Susu, even Shi Niang has a hard life.

Well, the daughter of the duke's family, even though she is a concubine, even a side concubine of the palace, but now she is just an unknown concubine, why don't you make her, the older sister, sad?

Although Shi Niang is pregnant now, Princess Ke is not easy to get along with.Virtuous and generous?It's just to deceive outsiders.
