Passerby's daily life

Chapter 18 Makeup
In September, the third wife gave birth to another son, the sixth young master from the Song family.The old lady and the third master were overjoyed, and rewarded the servants of the mansion for two months, and the servants of the three-bedroom yard got another month.

As the first newborn baby of the Song family after being granted the title of Uncle Song, everything he did during the third wash and the full moon was very embarrassing to the third master. Who in Yangzhou would not praise the kindness of the old lady, the aunt, who not only married the concubine a good daughter-in-law, but even the family business They are all divided equally with the son-in-law, and they are also in charge of the sea business.Reciprocate, the third master is also very filial, the three brothers of the Song family are famous brothers and sisters, and the boys of the third generation are not dudes. If the empress in the palace gives birth to a royal heir, even if it is a princess, it is enough for the Song family. There are three generations of wealth, and it will be a century-old family by then, so there are quite a few families who have good friends with the Song family.

When Susu returned to the mansion, she did not forget the savior of Hongshan Village. As soon as autumn came, she personally cut two sets of autumn clothes, two sets of winter clothes, shoes and hats, and some food trays to deliver ingredients to the small kitchen. It was brought back to Hong Sheng, and the old lady also asked someone to prepare a more comprehensive one, and she valued this little savior very much.

In October, the merchant ships of the Song family arrived in Hong Kong, and the precious stones, spices, and special products that were exchanged for silk and porcelain were first selected and transported to the old lady's private warehouse box by box, and the inferior ones were kept for distribution to various places. In the shop, a lot of them are reserved in the second-class ones, and they are reserved to reward the servants.

Susu is currently receiving the first-class servant girl's share. Not only that, the old lady gave her another share: six gems, although they are only the size of soybeans, they are serious pigeon blood red and emeralds. , cornflower sapphire; and two Japanese satins, one feather satin, and one duoluo.

These feather satins and duoluo were mostly tributes in the past, but now because of the convenience of sea transportation, they also flow into rich and noble families, and each one costs one or two hundred gold.As for some small jewelry, I even got a box.

Sister Hu Po finished tidying up the warehouse, and after registering and registering, she privately left Susu a purse of scraps left over from making jewelry, all of which are all kinds of gemstones the size of rice beads, tourmaline, emerald and diamonds, "The old lady calls you Yes, take it!"

Seeing that Su Su accepted it happily, Hu Po smiled and said: "You don't want to pick up the shrimp's whiskers with big oriental beads embedded, but you are happy to pick up these pieces of jewelry that can't be made into a big climate. I just think too much when I see you, too." Too cautious. The old lady has a lot of good things, as long as the old lady rewards them, we will follow up. No matter how good others give you, you can't take it if you have a conscience."

Susu said: "I understand what my sister means. It's not that I'm being cautious, but that one thing is worse than one thing. I also saw a lot of good things with the old lady. I'm not short-sighted. Let's not talk about the craftsmanship of the bracelet. Well, that big east bead alone is great. My sisters don’t have such eye-catching things for the time being. I'm afraid that things are not far from that bracelet."

Hu Po likes this about Susu. She can see things and people clearly, and she is very knowledgeable, "I know you are a ghost, this bag is left over from making jewelry for the old lady. Send it back!"

After speaking, she called Susu again: "Sister Pearl is leaving the house, and you little maids should also prepare something to make up Sister Pearl, so it's not in vain for her to dote on you."

"Got it, Sister Amber loves to worry the most."

"Okay you little hooves, let me remind you that you hate me so much, do you still care about me after seeing me?"

Susu said coquettishly: "My good sister, I mean that women who love to worry grow old quickly, the conscience of heaven and earth, I am doing it for my sister!"

In the twelfth lunar month, Susu, Bisi, Ning Cui, and Yang Liu drove Sister Pearl into the room the day before she left the house, and said with a smile, "Add makeup to sister".

During this time, Pearl has been teased a lot by people, and now she is immune. She said with a smile, "I also have something for you, and it's all just a thought. It will benefit you to serve the old lady well in the future." The purse was prepared long ago, and they talked for a while, and the four of them left the room when another little maid came to add makeup to Pearl.

Back at the house, the four of them opened their purses and saw that they were four pairs of identical South Pearl earrings. The beads were all the size of a lotus seed rice, and they were round and flawless, shining brightly, which is very rare.

On Pearl's side, Amber didn't come until after the little maids had left. She saw a big box on the ground in the middle, and I remembered it belonged to Susu. But there are a lot, and I won’t follow if things are thin.”

Pearl gave her a white look: "How long has she been here, how many things can she have, you, a master, come to me to save face for your apprentice?" Amber was speechless, and no one believed her when she told the truth. What a little rich woman!

I was in charge of the storehouse, and the old lady ordered Pearl in private, and I didn’t know about it. I really can’t go into details about it, and I don’t know anything about it. I opened the box that Susu and the four sent me, and it was full of purses and sachets. , handkerchief, are all good materials, and there are four small brocade boxes, opening it made Pearl surprised, and then moved.

Hu Po smiled and said: "These four silly girls must have picked up the things that the old lady rewarded and gave them to you. You didn't dote on them for nothing."

What Susu gave was a pair of paw-sized red gold peony temple flowers inlaid with rubies the size of a thumb belly, what Bisi gave was a pair of emerald green jadeite bracelets, and what Yang Liu prepared was a box of lotus seed rice-sized light pink pearls. Ning Cui added a pair of ivory combs carved with landscapes, flowers and birds.

These things are so precious that even a big maid like Pearl Amber can't help but praise them when she sees them. This kind of heart is really heavy.

In addition to her own clothes and hairpin rings, the pearls were rewarded by the owners of the houses, makeup from the servants of the mansion, 500 taels of silver, six ten taels of gold ingots, and 24 brocades of various colors as rewards from the old lady. , a box of furs, and four sets of gold, silver, precious stones and pearl jewelry, and twenty large mahogany boxes, not including the old clothes that were scattered to the rough envoys and maids.

The maidservants in Suian Hall sent Zhuzhu all the way out of the second gate, only to be taken home by her parents and younger brother. The old lady was also very reluctant, seeing the maidservants were all depressed, and said: "When your sister Pearl goes out, you will also go out." Tell you to go see her off." Only then did the few cheer up.

Sister Pearl left, Dongqing filled the first-class vacancy, Ning Cui was promoted to the second-class, and moved out of the small wing room for the four of them, and another rough servant girl filled the third-class vacancy, and moved into Susu and the others' room.

There is one less close one, and one more unfamiliar one, always a little uncomfortable, the three of Susu don’t fight much every day except for learning and teaching characters, everything is settled, Susu came to this world for the second New Year Arrived.

Susu thinks back on this year, she seems to be very busy, she doesn't have time to think about her past and present life, only occasionally when she cuts clothes for a young boy, she thinks that in the far northwest, there is a young man of the same age as Hong Sheng who is related to her blood, The same height, but fatter than Hong Sheng when he walked, I don't know what he has become now.

In the northwest, on New Year's Eve, Ruan Liulang, who was eating cold steamed buns, looked at the starry sky and was also thinking about his sister who didn't know where he was. Touching the red thread goldfish on his waist, Ruan Yu thought that his sister must be safe.
