Passerby's daily life

Chapter 111 The first day of the twelfth lunar month
"There is no impenetrable wall in the world." The Double Ninth Festival accident in Prince Ke's Mansion, although because Ruan Qiniang arrived in time and involved the fourth girl in Shun'anbo Mansion, Princess Ke immediately sealed off the small garden where the accident occurred, in an attempt to reduce the impact of the accident to a minimum.

But there were other noble ladies present at the time, and they were all frightened by the scene at that time. Naturally, they sought comfort from their mothers or grandmothers, and this matter spread in a small area.

Coupled with the instigation of the people behind the scenes, when Susu learned that Ruan Shiniang's mother and child were safe, the "chrysanthemum murder" had become a topic of gossip among people in the capital after dinner.

Why did Prince Ke's mansion and the concubines who are about to give birth hang out in the small garden?Is the concubine in Shun'anbo Mansion wronged?What is the real face of Princess Ke?Are the Ruan sisters really sisterly?

All kinds of questions are comparable to modern hot searches. All of a sudden, King Ke's Mansion, Shun'anbo Mansion, and even Liguo Mansion, which seized the title and confiscated their homes, were pushed to the forefront, and even the noble lords in the palace heard about it .

King Ke hadn't had time to deal with the chaotic backyard and appease the Shun'anbo Mansion when he was hit by this series of rumors and almost vomited blood.

Princess Ke was so regretful that her intestines were green.

The couple stopped fighting each other, and entered the palace immediately. King Ke went to the emperor, hugged his father's thigh, and cried bitterly, crying that his heirs were weak. Harm, born as a medicine jar.Then he cried for his own mother who died young, in short, he was very wronged.

And Princess Ke also cried when she came to the queen mother, she was not wronged, but she didn't dare to show it.After kowtowing to the queen mother and admitting her mistake, she said that she was ashamed to be the concubine of the palace, and that it was nothing more than failing to give birth to a son for King Ke, but she couldn't protect the female family members in the backyard.

These two couples are the fighting spirits among dramatists. They have already integrated disguise and acting into their whole lives. After complaining about their grievances in the palace, they wiped their faces. It makes people with a high heart feel secretly happy, gloating endlessly.

Soon, the one who gloated over others' misfortune gave birth to sorrow, but the one who cried miserably became the final winner!

The details are of course not known to outsiders. In short, the current Holy Majesty is investigating. Needless to say, various methods and processes, the world only cares about the results.

The eldest prince, Prince Jing, was reprimanded by the sage because of a trivial incident, and he was directly demoted from prince to county prince.

The queen mother issued a decree, and there were two more famous side concubines in Kewang's mansion: one was the girl from Annanbo's mansion, and the other was the fourth girl from Shun'anbo mansion.After next year's draft, he will be carried into the Ke Palace.

It stands to reason that even the royal side concubine is just a more noble concubine, and the dowry is less than one-third of that of the main concubine, but the empress dowager and empress each rewarded two dowry to the fourth girl of Song Dynasty. The fourth girl has a very long face.

After that, the Queen Mother personally summoned several girls from the Song family and praised her for "extraordinary appearance".The most noble people in the palace have said so, how dare other people criticize the girl of the Song family, insinuating that "the nouveau riche came from nowhere and doesn't understand the rules", this is what King Ke told the Song family.

The "Chrysanthemum Murder Case" has come to an end in your circle, but Ruan Shiniang, the biggest victim in the murder case, has been deliberately forgotten by the superiors. Even the child's birth and the full moon are just celebrations by Prince Ke's mansion behind closed doors. Fan, only the queen mother rewarded some things in the palace.

Fortunately, King Ke did not need the approval of the palace to propose a concubine to be a concubine, otherwise I really don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing for Ruan Shiniang.

The chrysanthemum murder incident provided the people in the capital with more than two months of gossip topics, until the news of the Northwest Battle reported that the Hami Guards captured the sixth Tatar prince alive, and the Tatars sent envoys to send a letter of peace. The entrusted sergeants went to Beijing together.

This incident was left behind by people, and they turned to talk about how credible the Tatar peace talks are.He also talked about why Emperor Shengwu did not conquer the Tatars like he did in his expeditions to Japan, Ryukyu, and Korea, and at this time there is only more than a month before the Chinese New Year.

For Susu, it is not her turn to care about national affairs, and now she is busy packing up the dowry, because Hong Sheng is also among the enlisted sergeants this time.Susu had only received a letter from Hong Sheng a few days ago, saying that he was going to Beijing soon, but in just a few days, the Northwest Army and Tatar envoys had almost arrived in the capital.

When Hong Sheng returned to Beijing, the date of her wedding with him should also be fixed.

The first day of the twelfth lunar month was the day when Susu and Jin Yumantang decided to pick up the custom-made head jewelry. On this day, the Northwest soldiers escorted the six Tatar princes to the capital, accompanied by the peace envoys sent by the Tatar tribal leaders. .

Early in the morning, both sides of the main road from the gate of the city to the palace were deserted. The people in the capital got up very early to watch the sixth Tatar prince who was captured alive, and prepared many gifts to welcome him, including rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves. It is not uncommon if there are some stones mixed in it.

After all, there is a deep blood feud between the Tatars and the Great Chu. In other words, since the previous dynasty, the two sides have been fighting continuously. The main reason is that the Tatars invaded the border of the Great Chu, burned, killed and looted, and did everything.

With the national strength of Chu State, the Tatars can be completely destroyed, but the emperors of Chu State never seemed to have this idea. They would rather spend a huge amount of military pay to station a large number of troops on the border.This is also one of the questions that Su Su couldn't figure out. After all, the founding emperor of the Great Chu, the predecessor who traveled through the land, liked to fight everywhere. Japan, Korea, and Ryukyu still respect the Great Chu as the suzerain. Every year, they donate beauties and A large number of rare and exotic treasures.

Susu just went through these things in her mind once, and then left them behind. She really didn't have any big ambitions. Her previous goal was to be a loyal little maid, but now her goal is to be a safe and stable girl. The little landlord, if the sky falls, the taller one will bear it first.

This year's winter was even colder than last year's. Although there hadn't been a single snowfall yet, the cold wind was howling, making people's cheeks sore.Fortunately, when Zhuangzi was built, Grandpa Qiao installed a kang and a fire wall in the main courtyard, otherwise burning charcoal would be a big expense.A few days ago, the old lady asked someone to deliver some winter supplies to Susu. There was one hundred catties of high-quality red charcoal in it. I heard that a basket of twenty catties of red charcoal had already risen to ten taels of silver.

Susu also got up early in the morning, fearing that she would catch up with the escorting team of the Sixth Prince of Tartar. The gate of the city would definitely be under martial law. If she missed the process time, she would have to wait outside for at least half an hour. Now it is cold and windy outside. Even if there is a charcoal basin and hand stove in the carriage, the accompanying servants can't stand it.

She can ask someone to take the deed to Jinyu Mantang to get the jewelry back, but she had made an appointment with Ruan Qiniang and Ruan Shiniang to meet today, even if the knife is outside, Susu has to go, she is still from Princess Ke that day Princess Qingfu met Ruan Shiniang during the full moon.

According to Ruan Qiniang, although Ruan Shiniang gave birth to a son, but because the person above him disliked the Ruan family, since the child's first full month, their mother and son have become invisible people in King Ke's mansion. Fortunately, King Ke secretly took care of them.

But that one didn't even have a proper name, only Ruan Shiniang privately chose a nickname "Big Cat". The child was hit hard in the mother's womb. , she took the medicine for food by herself, and even Ruan Qiniang couldn't help but shed tears. She hated Princess Ke to death in her heart, and even vented her anger on King Ke.

Susu searched through her past and present memories after hearing the news, but thanks to the fragrance in her mind, she finally let her know about a strange fragrance - Yingchun. "For spring, when all things germinate, it is warm and cold; for spring, take the dew at the dawn of the beginning of spring, pick the tender pistils of winter jasmine flowers, and mash them with hibiscus flowers to make mud. As for the purple sand pot, add ginseng and poria cocos Cold spring water soaked in various medicinal materials, sealed under the heel of the peach tree, when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, take it out and take it warm!"

Yingchunxiang is one of the few fragrances that can be taken orally in the memory of the brain. It is a body-nourishing fragrance. After entering the human body, it will have a very magical effect on the blood. The so-called cleansing tendons and cutting marrow, Susu saw earlier At that time, I thought it was just a fantasy, but after the "dream" incident, Susu at least had a little trust in the many incredible fragrances in her mind, and now it is just a dead horse as a living horse doctor, if it really works Woolen cloth!
It's just that it's winter now, so naturally there's no way to make "Yingchun". ".So Susu had to hand it over to Ruan Shiniang herself, and tell her clearly that she was saving the "big cat", but she didn't want to involve herself and Ruan Liulang.

Inside Susu is a camel's hair thermal underwear, a light yellow jacket, and a silver-red woven Shu brocade vase with folded branches and flowers embroidered on it, and a long skirt with a stand-up collar set in purple lambskin. A squirrel leather skirt with patterned floral satin, and a pair of exquisite boots with red deerskin and pearl fur lining. Before going out, Qiqiao and Fendai helped her put on bamboo root blue plain dormitory and lynx fur lining. His cloak, snow cap and cloak were fringed with snow-white fox fur.

Shui Mo handed Susu a silver-red fox fur muff, and a palm-sized copper hand stove was inserted in the middle.After putting it on, Susu felt that she had become a ball, and she couldn't walk anymore.

The four little servant girls wore thick new cotton-padded clothes and trousers inside, and outside were squirrel fur jackets that Susu rewarded them extra. They wore hare fur hats and fox fur scarves on their heads. There is a saying in the previous life: "There is no killing without buying and selling".After leaving the house, when the cold wind blew, Susu was extremely thankful that there was no animal protection law in ancient times, otherwise a large number of people would freeze to death.

Susu is not a harsh "boss". Just after autumn, the winter clothes in Zhuangzi have been handed out. The thick cotton clothes use the cotton that ordinary people have two cotton clothes. A leather jacket.

The first class is made of fox fur, the first class is made of squirrel skin, the second and third class is made of hare skin, and the rough envoys also have a dog skin. Going out to drive a car is hard work in winter, and Susu also rewards it. I bought a three-piece sheepskin suit—leather jacket, leather pants, and leather boots.

When Susu went out, the sky was still not bright, the sun was not shining, and the cold wind could be called bone-chilling. When Susu saw the weather, it might snow today, so he hurriedly called Shui Mo back to the main courtyard, and searched for it from the warehouse. It is too late to make a cloak and cloak now, but at least it can keep out the cold wind.

It wasn't until she got into the carriage, the charcoal basin had already been lit in the carriage, and she took off the snow-white fox scarf, that Susu let out a breath, grinned secretly, and froze to death!

At the two front corners of the carriage, a glass wind lamp was lit on one side. The driver was a steady middle-aged man in his 40s and [-]s. He knew that the safety of the master should be the most important thing when he was in a hurry. The carriage was slower than usual. It took a quarter of an hour to arrive in the capital, and it was almost eight o'clock at that time, the sky was already bright, and various small stalls and shops began to open for business.

Susu saw that it was still early, so she took people to have breakfast first, and then came to Jinyu Mantang.

The one in Susuwei looks like a bear, but fortunately, there is no female family member who has nothing to do and has to come here to buy jewelry in this weather, or else you have to think that the bear on the top of the mountain has become a spirit and ran out.If Lady Zhen didn't know Fen Dai and the four of them, she really wouldn't know who came.

Knowing that the distinguished guests who were ordered by the master have arrived, Mrs. Zhen hurriedly came forward, "Girl is here, our master is waiting for you upstairs!" Susu nodded, glanced at the four little maids and said: "I I want to meet an old friend, ask Miss Zhen to open a private room for you, take the deed, and go and compare the jewelry I ordered that day, and when I go over, I will calculate the wages."

The four of Fen and Dai followed Susu, and had already learned the "reticence" which is one of the survival skills of a maidservant, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and don't tell what you shouldn't say", so she nodded obediently naturally.

Mrs. Zhen recruited a maid to take Susu upstairs, and she personally received the four of Fendai. Susu's custom-made jewelry is really too precious, especially the few pieces that Susu drew herself, each of which is comparable to gold and jade. The treasure of the town shop.

Mrs. Zhen dare not be as big-hearted or rich as Susu, and hand it over to the people below to deal with it at will.

In fact, Susu wasn't big-hearted, nor was she rich and powerful, but in her eyes, those things were precious, and they couldn't compare to the affection between sisters.

The maid took Susu outside the box she stayed in last time and went downstairs quietly. Susu reached out and knocked on the door three times, and soon Ruan Qiniang opened the door herself!

After entering the private room, Susu quickly took off her cloak, and the fire wall was also used in Jinyu Mantang. When she went upstairs, she immediately broke out in sweat.

Ruan Qiniang and Ruan Shiniang only felt their eyes light up, looking at Susu who was just dressed in an ordinary way, their eyes were full of amazement.

Susu combed a crescent moon bun today, and the broken hair underneath was tied into a few small braids with red silk thread, and a bead chain strung with colorful tourmaline beads was wrapped around the bun several times. Above the ears were Pinned to one side is a ball of fox fur dyed pink, resembling a pair of fox ears, which looks cute and cute.

She wore a pair of watermelon tourmaline butterfly earrings, and the earrings remained motionless as she walked, which showed her dignified demeanor.
