Passerby's daily life

Chapter 134 Sister is polite (Part [-])
After entering Hami County, Hong Sheng led the way on horseback, Susu sat in the carriage, and didn't stop Fendai and the others from raising the curtain to look around, because she had long ago discovered that women were less restricted outside the pass than inside the pass.

In the towns along the way, Susu also saw girls running business with her father and brother, not to mention the older girls and younger daughters-in-law who peddled along the street.Even the young lady, without elders to accompany her, can just take her maid and mother-in-law along for a leisurely stroll.

Susu has learned before that there is a very prosperous commercial street in Hami County, which is located in the center of the county seat and divides the entire Hami County into the East City and the West City.Dongcheng is inhabited by Han Chinese, while West City is inhabited by ethnic minorities.

This was 100 years ago, when the then Lord Zhen Guo divided it when he led the army in Hami when he was young.

At that time, various ethnic groups lived together. Although they were all people of Great Chu, they had different ethnic groups, different beliefs, different customs, and even different diets. Naturally, there were many contradictions.

Often because of some trivial matters, ethnic disputes are caused.Therefore, the Duke of Zhen Guo at that time ordered the re-division of settlements and respected the customs of various ethnic groups.

And because Hami is an important link on the Silk Road, a large amount of construction work was carried out to build a commercial street.

The commercial street between the two cities has become the bond of communication between the various ethnic groups, and they live together more harmoniously than before.

After 100 years, this decree is still firmly implemented by those in power.

When Susu and the others entered the city, they happened to pass by the commercial street.

At this time, it was only eight or nine o'clock in the morning, and the morning market formed by the breakfast stalls and small merchants and hawkers had ended, but the major shops were just open for business, and the businessmen who came and went drove horse-drawn carriages or formed camel teams.

Fendai and the others were young, and looked at the foreigners with red hair, yellow hair, green eyes, and blue eyes and kept exclaiming.

Naturally, there are business travelers from various countries in the capital, but it is one thing that they do not go out at all on weekdays. In the capital, there is a strict division of squares and cities. How can there be such a lively scene.

The four little girls didn't listen to their chattering mouths. Seeing that Susu didn't care about them, they had to pull Susu an inch further, asking her to explain the buildings on both sides, so as to give them a lot of insight.

The ones in the east city are fine, but the buildings in the west city have different styles.

There are minaret-shaped buildings inlaid with large pieces of stained glass, Arab-style houses, Hui houses that are similar to Han people, and Baroque buildings from Europe, etc. It is simply a microcosm of all countries.

Until the carriage turned into Dongcheng District, the four little maids still hadn't finished their thoughts. Susu said helplessly: "This is not the capital city. It takes a long time to go shopping, and I have too many worries. If you want to come out to play in the future, just It’s only a few steps out the door, and I’m afraid I’ve seen enough by then.”

According to Su Su's rules, servants can have three days of rest in a month, either consecutively or dividedly, as long as the errands are arranged well.If you catch up with too many things in the house and can't rest, there will be another reward.

The four little maids heard that it was the same thing, so they calmed down and helped Susu re-arrange her hair bun, jewelry and clothes, and put on a veil for her.

After a while, the carriage stopped, and Hong Sheng said loudly: "Lady, we are home!"

The four little maids got out of the car first, opened the curtain, and Hong Sheng stepped forward to personally help Susu down.

Susu looked up, the middle door of the red lacquered gate was wide open, and there were more than a dozen men and women dressed as servants standing on both sides, but they seemed to be not too young.

Susu also saw a few male servants who were obviously disabled, and their aura was different from that of ordinary servants. When she thought about it, she realized that these were probably disabled soldiers from the battlefield.

What happened to the girl who just stood in front of people?

I saw that girl was about twenty-nine years old, with an oval face, handsome eyes and eyebrows, and a tall figure. She looked very good, but her temperament was a little lacking.

She was wearing a complicated bun of hundreds of flowers, with four or five red gold hairpins inserted, and a pair of red treasure earrings the size of soybeans on her ears.

The upper body is wearing a pomegranate red cardigan embroidered with colorful butterflies flying and playing with flowers. The waist and shoulders of the shirt are pinched, showing a towering chest and a willow-like slender waist. The lower body is matched with a pomegranate skirt.

Comparing Susu's dress with hers, it's hard to tell which one is the newly married bride.

Looking at her clothes, she doesn't look like a maid.But as for relatives, Hong Sheng never mentioned it to her, could it be...

Thinking of something, Susu's heart paused, as if there was a slight pain, but it disappeared quickly, even Susu herself didn't have time to feel it.

She is the rational Ruan Susu, and facing the reality is what she should do.So Susu calmed down, and said in her heart: How can there be such an arrogant concubine in this red dress?

It was not such an identity, but the woman's intuition told Susu that the visitor was not kind.

Hong Sheng followed Susu's line of sight, and cried out in his heart, he forgot to tell his wife, but don't get me wrong.

Just when he was about to speak, he saw that girl dressed like a red pepper came over, looked at him worriedly, looked left and right, and made Hong Sheng feel scared.

Then I heard "Brother Hong is back, I counted the time, I should have arrived a few days ago, but I haven't heard from Brother Hong, I'm so worried that I can't sleep."

Before Hong Sheng could speak, the girl approached and grabbed Su Su's hand and said, "This is Sister Su, Baiyou pays homage to her."

Even if Hong Sheng was being stupid, he knew that Miss Yue was a bit abnormal today. Hearing that she was called Sister Susu instead of sister-in-law, he felt a little nervous.

But Susu staggered away a long time ago, avoiding the girl's gift, Fen Dai, Shui Mo and other four little maids also hurried to stand in front of Su Su.

Susu glanced at Hong Sheng and saw that her expression was not very good, she just knew that the play was not planned.

After getting along all the way, Susu believed in Hong Sheng after all. Since he hadn't told him about this girl, he didn't think it was a very important person.

And this person actually gave her, the hostess, a blow at the door of her house, I really don't know what it means.

Su Su casually took out her handkerchief, and wiped the hand that was held by that girl.Her hands were covered with sweat, and she was not as calm as she appeared on the surface.

In addition, Susu also saw the disdain and sarcasm flashing in the eyes of the servants behind her. These emotions were probably not for herself, so they could only be for this girl.

"Although I have never heard my husband refer to a girl, but since you call him big brother, logically speaking, you should call me sister-in-law."

The girl was stopped by Susu's maid, the smile on her face could no longer be held, and when she heard Susu's words, she was even more helpless and aggrieved.

"Secondly, I am the only daughter in my family. My parents died early. I never had any younger sisters except the three older sisters who married Jinlan."

Susu didn't wait for the girl to speak, and then said: "Thirdly, the girl should be seventeen or eighteen years old. Although I'm married, I'm only 15 years old. I can't be a girl's elder sister."

These words can be said to be so loud that they "slapped" the face, and the girl in red was already looking at Hong Sheng with a look of crying, but Hong Sheng couldn't care about her at the moment.

According to his understanding during this period of time, he felt that his wife should be angry, and he should explain quickly now, as long as he likes his daughter-in-law's small appearance!

Hong Sheng's appearance only made the girl in red almost turn away, hey hey hey, this hurts my heart, old iron!
