Passerby's daily life

Chapter 21 News from afar ([-])
After the meal, Susu sent Zhao's mother out of the garden and gave her a purse: "Last time, my mother said that sister Qiuyun was pregnant. My little nephew and niece must be two years old now. This is Susu's for the child. Mom must Don't say no."

Qiuyun is Zhao's mother's only daughter, and she recruited a son-in-law.Mother Zhao took it over and said, "Mom will take it on behalf of your sister Qiuyun and little nephew. When you come to Beijing later, I will ask your nephew to serve you tea." It makes people suspicious, so this is the last time to come to Yangzhou. You are smart, and the old lady loves you so much, and the days to come will definitely get better. Mom just hopes that you will be careful in everything."

Susu touched the ball of paper in her belt: "Susu thanked my mother for taking care of me for many years. When I have a chance in the future, Susu will definitely come to see you in the capital." If it wasn't for her, Mother Zhao would be too busy with the dental clinic in the capital , How could he go south three times in five years, this kindness Susu has always remembered.

Sending off Mother Zhao, Susu went back to the warehouse, where Yang Liu also brought the four little girls who had just filled up the rough envoy to the warehouse to collect the envoy.

These little girls are not as lucky as Susu was in the past, and they are third-class when entering the mansion, but the old lady is kind-hearted. Also get the monthly money for the whole month.

"Why did you bring them here yourself?" Susu was arranging the new gadgets from a jewelry shop under the old lady's name.

Yang Liudao: "The old lady is taking a nap at noon, Ning Cuibisi is here, I have nothing to do, so I brought them here."

Each servant girl has three sets of clothes per season, including inside and outside shoes and socks. In the case, there is also a boxwood jewelry box, which contains two silk flowers, four hair ropes, a small comb, and another a hundred dollars.

The big jewelry box that Su Su was tidying up was full of gold, silver, pearls and jade. When she turned around, the four little girls took a closer look, and they all took a breath.

The little girl Yangliu chose was Xing Xiao, and the family used to have some property, but unfortunately, after her father died of illness, her mother remarried, and her younger brother was taken in by her uncle. She was the only girl that no one wanted, and was sold by her aunt.Seeing these things, Xing Xiao first glanced at Susu, then at the others before bowing her head.

The two Nanny Qin picked out were Xiya and Xiaohua, they would not even blink their eyes when they saw these, they just stared at them firmly.

And the little girl who was sold by her stepmother had a nice name, Wutong. She took a look and took a breath, but immediately lowered her head.

Later, Susu asked Wutong why he immediately lowered his head when he saw those gold and silver jewelry when he entered the mansion on the first day?Wu Tong's answer was: "Everyone likes gold, silver and jewelry, but my mother told me that no matter how much I like it, I can't take it. If I can't restrain my greed, then don't look at it, listen to it, or think about it."

Susu was silent for a while before saying: "You have a good mother!"

But now Susu just glanced at them and closed the box, then found another smaller box and said: "There are too many things, I got them mixed up, this is it!" Opening the box, there are some silver boxes inside. Cloves, silver earrings, small rings, etc., gave them four pairs of earrings and a ring, and said: "The girl we go out with Andang, even if you are a rough envoy, you can't lose face. From now on, you should work hard. , These things are even better than the old lady will not be stingy."

Xing Xiao accepted it calmly, Chun Ya and Xiao Hua couldn't hide their disappointment, but Wu Tong showed a happy smile.After Yang Liu sent someone to take the four little girls out to settle down, he said: "Madam Qin likes some lively, clever and good little girls when she gets older, but these two eyelids are too shallow; Xing Xiao looks steady, There are too many eyes; on the contrary, that sycamore tree can be cultivated at first glance. Picking and picking, your eyes are getting sharper and sharper!"

Su Su smiled and said nothing, her previous life was not in vain, compared with these women in the deep house, she has seen the world!
After going back to the house at night, Susu washed up and sat on the couch by the window as usual. Then she took out the paper ball given by Mother Zhao from her belt and unfolded it. But just a few words made Susu cry like rain Next, "Hami Weisuo, military households, Tatars."

The territory of Chu State is as vast as that of the Ming Dynasty. Its economy is prosperous and its commerce is developed. The Maritime Silk Road has attracted businessmen from all over the world.Naturally, some small countries did not dare to offend the Chu State, but the wars in the northern border continued continuously because of the existence of the Tatars and Oirats. Most of the criminals were exiled into the army and became military households for generations.

Four years ago, when Mother Zhao went to the south of the Yangtze River again, Susu asked her to find news about her brother, but even though Mother Zhao went to the rich and powerful families in the capital, she was just a matchmaker. You don't know how much risk you took.

The elder brother Ruan Liulang served as a military household in the Hami Guard in the northwest, facing the Tatar barbarians.Thinking of that young boy who was praised by his husband for his character and literary talents, he might go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, Susu's heart was in a ball, but there was a tinge of joy, at least her brother was still alive.

"Hami Weisuo", Susu chanted these four words, and a thought suddenly came to her mind, when the old lady released her from the residence, she would go to the northwest to find her brother.

Susu didn't know when she fell asleep. Anyway, when she woke up, it was already the next night. During the period, she felt that someone was rubbing her body and feeding her medicine. She felt weak and knew that she was probably sick. , and then fell asleep again.

Now waking up, seeing Yangliu and Bisi dozing off on the side of the bed, the room smells like alcohol and medicine, I guess I have a fever, my stomach growled a few times, I don't know what time it is.

Just as Susu wanted to get up, Yang Liu and Bisi opened their eyes when they felt the movement. Bisi first touched Susu's forehead with her hand, and said with a sigh of relief: "It's not burning!" He breathed a sigh of relief, and said angrily: "My aunt, you are awake." Then he pointed at the tip of Susu's nose and cursed: "On weekdays, I say that you are serious, and if you tell us anything, we will help you." No, can’t you please ask the old lady? This time it’s all right, I’ve managed to take care of my body, and I’ve returned to my original form after worrying too much, what can I say about you?”

Bisi hurriedly persuaded her: "She finally woke up, what are you talking about? Which errand doesn't pay attention to everything carefully, after all, Susu is young and takes care of such a mess, only Be more cautious. It turned out that we were not good enough to pay more attention to her, so we just need to love her more in the future."

After hearing this, Yang Liu said angrily: "I treat her like my own sister, but she is fine, hmph..."

Su Su was a little confused for a while, "Good sister, it's my fault, you have to let me know what made you angry?" Ning Cui, who was pushing the door to come in, was angry and funny when she heard this, "Old lady Can't sleep, let me come over and have a look, Susu, you are awake, you have slept all day and all night!"
