Passerby's daily life

Chapter 23

The most important thing in August is the Mid-Autumn Festival on August [-]. Naturally, the Song Mansion is also very busy and lively. Susu hasn't been out of the warehouse for half a month because of the gifts sent out and brought in. The girl was diligent in helping her, but the precious Susu didn't dare to use the two children, so she had to put them away one by one.

On August [-]th, the eldest grandson of the Song family, the young master Song Qinghe, who had already been named the eldest son of the uncle's family, came with a boatload of gifts. Among them were not only the eldest and second families who honored the old lady, but also the emperor and concubine Xi in the palace. The gift given by the empress to the old lady and the masters of the three bedrooms.

Ever since the eldest aunt conferred the title of concubine, the rituals rewarded in the palace have not been bad. After being promoted to concubine Xi, the various rewards have more than doubled.The Song Mansion has a lot of good things, so I don't want to be greedy for such a thing, but when it comes to the palace, it is labeled as "inner-made", which naturally represents the holy favor, which is very respectable.

Naturally, those rewards that should be scattered should be scattered, and those that should be kept should be registered.

The gifts given by the empress to the two girls of the third room and the young masters of the first room and the second room were also sent to Suian hall. After finishing the arrangement, Susu copied a gift list and asked someone to send it to the fifth and sixth girls together with the rewards. , and then came to the main room with the gift list, the young master was also there, and now he should be called the prince.

In the room, only Nanny Qin was accompanying her. Susu came in with the gift list, just in time to hear the prince say: "The little princess is getting better and better, and she is very favored by the sage. The empress said that it would be better for grandma to return to Beijing to live, although she can't always meet her." See you, but the Holy Majesty and the Empress Dowager are merciful, and have decreed that the concubines and concubines can summon their natal family once a month. My father also looks forward to my grandmother returning to Beijing to sit in town!"

The old lady sighed and said, "Wait, now that money is being used everywhere, your third uncle must have someone to discuss with. After two or three years, your third uncle will take over everything here." , I also feel relieved. Go back and tell your father that the empress is already difficult in the palace, and our family must not hold her back. The empress is smart, and you can discuss some things with her more!"

Shizi nodded one by one.Then she blushed a little and said: "My father made a marriage for his grandson, and the second aunt also made marriages for the second and third sisters." Speaking of the latter, his tone was a bit hesitant.

Seeing him like this, the old lady didn't know anything else, and said: "Your father has already written to say about your marriage, the daughter of Marquis Wenchang. , but also the leader of the literati Qingliu. Wenchanghou's son married Princess Wuyue, the youngest sister of the Holy Majesty, who is very much loved by the Holy Majesty and the Queen Mother. Being able to make this marriage is because your appearance has caught the eyes of Wenchanghou."

The old lady still loves this eldest grandson very much. She is not a dude. Now she is 17 years old and she is already a juren. The Shun’anbo Mansion is also considered a new rich man. As soon as she entered Beijing, many people inquired about him. Only in the early summer of this year did she decide to be the Marquis of Wenchang. His first daughter.Song Qinghe will take part in the imperial examination in the coming year, if he wins the Jinshi in one fell swoop, and he is the son of the uncle's family, this marriage is not considered high-profile.

Then the old lady sneered again: "Which family did your second aunt choose for the second and third girls? I never heard of it? Before your second uncle donated an official post, she hired an aunt without any rumors. Accompanying your second uncle to go outside, what's your plan now?"

Song Qinghe was also a little embarrassed to speak, he was an elder, he shouldn't have said this, but his own father was afraid that his grandmother would anger him, so he actually handed over this matter to himself, he had never seen such a trick to his son.

Thinking of this, Song Qinghe simply smashed the pot and said: "Second aunt never discussed with my father and second uncle, and the family has never heard of any news. Only second aunt went out to be a guest a few times. When my father finds out , Geng posts have been changed. The second younger sister is destined to be the second son of Uncle Changle, and the third younger sister is appointed to be the second son of Uncle Yongping to fill in the house!"

Speaking of the second girl, the old lady still looked as usual. When she heard about the marriage of the third girl, her face turned livid and she dropped the teacup on the spot. Mother Qin was so frightened that she hung her back and slapped her chest. Susu also hurried in. He hurriedly took a pill of Yangxin Dan from his purse and fed it to the old lady.

The old lady came back to her senses, and she shed tears in a blink of an eye, "What kind of evil is this? The girl of our family, who is so charming and beloved, actually thinks of giving it to someone to fill in the house? Susu, give it to you quickly!" The second master wrote a letter and told him to come back and divorce his wife. This kind of daughter-in-law's family is in serious trouble. Go back with your brother, and let people send your third and fourth younger sisters back. My wife, I can still protect my granddaughter!"

Song Qinghe hurriedly knelt down, "Grandmother, don't be angry, it's my grandson's fault, so my grandson will go back and send the two younger sisters back, but the second uncle is a foreigner, and he can't leave the jurisdiction without a holy call. Second Aunt, please also ask Grandmother for the sake of Second Sister and Seventh Brother, and give her a lighter sentence!"

After all, the old lady knew that she was confused because of her experience in the world. The Shun'anbo Mansion is now on the cusp. After entering Beijing, because there are ordinary wives and eldest sons in the mansion, it is already enough to make people laugh. The Concubine Xi in the movie was ashamed, and it took a long time to fade away.

The gang of censors spend all their time researching the shortcomings of the elders and the west, and they have to pick out the bones from the eggs. Now if there is a divorce, the eldest son and the second son will not be able to escape the charge of lax family management.

The old lady thought for a while and said: "You will go back after the fifteenth day, and I will also send a message to your father. I can't control the second girl, but the third girl is a good girl. She must not be a house filler, and the third girl will withdraw from the marriage." When I go back, I will send back your two younger sisters with a lot of hair. As for your second aunt, I will write to your second uncle in person. A father can’t even protect his own children, and he doesn’t need to be an official Already!" Song Qinghe didn't disagree.

Susu took the gift list at this time and said: "Old lady, take a look, not to mention the elder master and the second master, even the empress and little princess in the palace are very filial and caring. Now that the Mid-Autumn Festival came again, the servants were dazzled. There was actually a set of soup molds, which she said was given to her grandmother by the eldest princess. It was only one inch square and one foot long, with bean-sized chiseled chrysanthemum-shaped pieces on it. There are thirty or forty types of plum blossoms, lotus pods, and water chestnuts in total, and they are very finely crafted. Only the inner ones are second, as long as the heart of the empress and the little princess, I still think of you even after eating soup!"

The old lady took the gift list and looked at it. As expected, the first item on the first page was written by her daughter herself, so she smiled, and Mother Qin was also boasting about the mother and the little princess.Song Qinghe secretly wiped off his sweat, and bowed his hands to Susu to express his gratitude.

The old lady also knew that Susu and Nanny Qin were coaxing her, fearing that she would get angry.Knowing that the older I get, the more leftist I am, and getting angry can't solve the problem, so I just let it go.

He sent his grandson back to rest, and recruited a few big maidservants to come in, and said with a smile: "The empress in the palace is the most generous, but the fifteenth day is the little princess's birthday, and this one will also make you feel happy for the princess. The palace rewards many senior servants. The good material used is also decent, Susu, you four each have two bolts of satin, two bolts of gauze, two purses, two palace fans, and two strings of red agate beads. The third-class ones went to palace fans and counting beads, and the rough envoys were rewarded with two purses."

The old lady is usually not stingy, this time she is even more generous, and all the servants in the room thanked her with joy.

Although the birthday present for the little princess had already been delivered, the old lady told Susu to find some things to bring to the little princess when the son returned to Beijing.

Susu thought for a while and said: "The slaves and maidservants put away the things that the caravan sent before May. There is a set of dolls from Russia. There are twelve large and small sets, which are very novel; there is also a music box with exquisite workmanship; There is also a set of twelve zodiac handles carved from top-grade mutton fat jade, all about the size of half a fist, with eyes inlaid with various gemstones, so vivid, the servants thought that the little princess would like it too. In addition, Qiaozhi Pavilion sent it a few days ago A few bolts of new yarn weaved and dyed, peach pink with pearl, called pearl powder, this kind of yarn is suitable for little girls, and besides our house, there is no other place for now, just give it to the princess."

The old lady nodded in satisfaction, and said: "Is there anything in the palace? What we sent is only a novelty and a heartfelt gift."

Then he said with a smile: "The old shopkeeper Dong has a good plan!" Seeing that Susu didn't understand, he explained: "At this time of year, the gauze material can't be worn for a few days. This new gauze is originally for next year. Prepared in summer. There is a princess in our family, and any novelties she gets will be sent to the palace first. Shopkeeper Dong has calculated this and sent them to the mansion in advance. I am afraid that the demand for the yarn in the capital will be in short supply next year!"

Su Sulian patted his forehead several times, "I didn't think of this, the servants didn't expect this. The shopkeeper Dong really deserves to be chosen by the old lady herself. This is a mind-changing, I can't accept it!"

The old lady smiled and said: "You are still young, you still have a lot to learn in the future!" Then said: "Take four pieces of new gauze to the princess, and take out two pieces to share with the fifth and sixth girls, and the rest Keep it for the third girl and the fourth girl. I remember that there are still a few bolts of Xiaying gauze in the library, which are brightly colored. OK!"

Yang Liu laughed beside him and said: "The old lady rewarded so many good things today, the servant girl is worrying why she doesn't grow seven or eight hands on it, and can't hold it with two hands!"

Susu smiled and said: "My sister can't take it, I will share half of it for my sister, and I can definitely take it back!" Yang Liu pinched Susu, "Hey, should I take it back to your house or mine? Your hand, can I get this thing back?" The two deliberately pretended to be greedy for money, which made the old lady laugh non-stop.

Susu was very busy, and went back to the warehouse after making a fuss for a while. All the maids and servants in the yard got the letter, knowing that the old lady had rewarded a lot of things. Seeing Susu as if seeing the God of Wealth, she smiled even more happily .

Susu went back to the warehouse and took Ningxiang Wutong to tidy up for a while before sorting out the rewards for the servants, and told the maids and women to come and collect them when they were not on duty.

Susu took four bolts of pearl powder and packed them into a big red sandalwood box, and put the delicate items mentioned in boxes one by one, put them together with the new yarn, and labeled them for the little princess.Looking back, seeing the two little girls sweating profusely, but not tired, Susu took two purses, each filled with two silver coins weighing six renminbi, and said to them, "Take it and play!"

The two of them got acquainted with Susu these days, so they took it with a smile, and Susu couldn't help pointing out a few more words to them: "You can't understand what rewards the maids and servants in the yard got today, and you should also understand. Now, serve the old lady well and do my errands well. Is there anything good? Even the rough envoys got two inner-made purses, not to mention the gold and silver locks inside, and the purses cost one or two taels of silver. , is your monthly money for several months?"

The two nodded obediently: "Sister is right, we must work hard!"
