Passerby's daily life

Chapter 35 The Beloved Son of Parents

Seeing that the room was full of the third lady's confidantes, Susu said: "The old lady said that her things will be shared equally among the three sons in the future, but Yangzhou is not as good as the capital, and I have wronged the third master and the third lady. She can only I subsidize you in private, but when you arrive in the capital, there are too many people talking about it, so it’s hard to give it away. Knowing that you are not short of money, the old lady asked the servant to open a private warehouse and picked out two boxes, all of which are hard to buy even if you have money. Son."

The third lady's eyes turned red when she heard this, she quickly covered it with a handkerchief, wiped her tears, took the list Susu handed her, a little embarrassed, and said forcefully: "I want to see you Auntie has always been generous about what to pick, but you are a tight-knit little hoof. If it is not good, I will not follow."

Susu pretended to be sad and wiped her eyes with a veil and said: "If you say that, you really hurt the heart of this servant." The third lady was teased by Susu and laughed through her tears, pointing at Susu's forehead: "It's true! A treasure!"

Although the third lady knew that her aunt would not be stingy, and that Susu was also a sensible person, she was still taken aback by what was written on the list. She just flipped through a page at random, but she was still surprised that she had seen many good things Said: "This is too precious!"

A set of purple sand tea sets of four series with purple gold glaze sprinkled with blue, a pair of Chenghua doucai mandarin duck stem cups, Tang tri-color candlesticks with figures, Han Dynasty bronze tripods, secret-color porcelain lotus petal bowls, etc. A box of antiques; A box of calligraphy and paintings including the first axis of the picture, the second axis of the picture of asking about gifts, the second axis of the picture of Xuewu Youju, the eighth axis of Yan Liben's picture of a scholar in Yingzhou, and the first axis of Chunjing Yuyan.Any one of these two boxes is a treasure that is hard to buy even if you have money.

The Song family is not short of money, but lacks these things that show their background. In the future, whether it is hiring a wife or marrying a daughter, it will be more face-saving to add one casually.The third house is not as good as the other two houses. The first house has a title, and the second house is an official. If the two sons don't live up to their expectations and they split up in the future, they will still be just merchants.

It has to be said that the beloved son of the parents has a far-reaching plan. If the old lady, the aunt, can do this, it means that the biological mother of the third master is still alive, and it is probably like this.

Seeing that the third lady was holding back tears, Susu said half-comfortingly and half-jokingly: "Seeing these good things, madam trusts your servants? Gold beads are all that matters, but you can have golden scorpions."

After hearing Susu's words, the third lady didn't hold back, and asked someone to put away the things carefully, cleaned her face, then pointed at Susu and scolded with a smile: "Look at this, the capable person next to my aunt, what a good guy!" I haven’t seen it before. You’re still thinking about the reporter Lao Shizi Jin Kaizi, isn’t it vulgar? Why did you treat you so harshly when you said that you were at home.” Seeing that Susu deliberately put on a money-greedy look, he said with a smile: “Forget it, it just so happens that I I was tidying up the small warehouse to buy some things for Liu Yatou, Shan Shan, took two sandalwood boxes and a bag of gold scorpions, and quickly dismissed this layman."

Su Su said with a smile: "My good lady, I will keep all the vulgar things for the servants in the future." The third lady couldn't help but squeezed her tender face: "It's really a waste of such a beautiful face. "

After the joke was made, the third lady said seriously: "I don't know when your third master and I will enter Beijing. Brother Zhen and brother Che (fifth young master and sixth young master) are under the care of uncles and elder brothers in the outer courtyard. Don't worry, in the inner courtyard, my aunt is old and there is no reason for her to work hard. The fifth girl and the sixth girl will be entrusted to you to take care of them. The sixth girl is the best friend with you, and she can listen to what you say the most went in."

Susu couldn't help but patted the third lady's hand, and said: "Madam, don't worry, as long as the old lady is here, it will be the same as in Yangzhou when the old lady is there. The rules in the capital are big, but the girls also learn Those who have followed the rules for many years will definitely not fall into the name of our Shun'anbo Mansion."

Seeing that the third lady was still a little worried, Su Su was half comforting and half repeating the facts she had known a long time ago, "The concubine who is about to enter the house is the daughter of the founding prince's family, not to mention other relatives, only the sister-in-law is Princess Wuyue is enough. Once the crown prince enters the door, she must respect her elders and be friendly to her younger siblings. We six girls are the most thoughtful. Whoever likes whoever they see will fall into the eyes of the nobleman. The future is much farther ahead than staying in Yangzhou. Besides, there is also Empress Xi in the palace."

After hearing such a call, the third lady felt much brighter in her heart, and said with a smile, "No wonder my aunt loves you so much. If it wasn't for my aunt's reluctance, I would be reluctant to let you go." Susu quickly waved her hand: "The slave is just following the old lady After learning some superficial facts, even sister Bisi is much better than a servant girl. Madam understands these truths, but she is reluctant."

The third lady smiled: "Bisi is good, and you are also good. It is fate that you can follow aunt."

Su Suyou talked with the third lady for a while, and it was almost dinner time before returning to Suian hall with the things the third lady gave.There are two sandalwood boxes, one box is full of exquisite jewelry, and the other box is filled with rouge and gouache.There are about twenty or thirty gold scorpions in a pack, all of which are small goldfishes weighing six coins.

This is the most generous reward given by the third wife in Susu's five years of work, just for Susu to take care of the sixth girl, it is really worrying for a mother who travels thousands of miles.

After dinner, the third lady asked someone to bring a box of furs and a box of silk and satin to Susu, Yang Liu, and Ning Cui.

Shan Shan greeted the old lady first and then said: "They are all made of thick materials from the sea. We are not used to wearing them in the south. Madam said that I will give Susu three points. The winter in the north is very cold." Pointing to the other two Big box, "This is given by the third master. It's a thin material woven in Suzhou. It's summer now. It's good for making shirts and skirts."

Shan Shan was afraid of Bi Si's overthinking, so she took her hand and said, "My good sister, Madam said that when you get married, I will add a generous dowry to you, so that the three of them will be greedy." Blushing, the old lady and Susu also laughed.

After Shan Shan received the old lady's generous reward and went back to her command, the three of Susu opened the box and shared the things.Except for Susu who was mentally prepared, Yang Liu and Ning Cuigu were taken aback by the generosity of the third master and third lady.

Not to mention a box of otter, ermine, squirrel, and fox skins that the third lady rewarded, and another box of velvet, doraemon, feather satin, and Japanese satin.The velvet here is not Zhang velvet as later generations said, but a real royal article from Europe.

The two boxes given by the third master are even more extraordinary, two bolts of yellow grass heart cloth, sweet and fine in color, extremely thin, serious tributes for use.There are also light gauze, organdy gauze, solid gauze, sesame gauze, etc. Although Susu and the others are not short of these things, they can feel the heart of the third master and third wife.
