Passerby's daily life

Chapter 39 The Mansion Gate ([-])

Outside the gate of Shun'anbo Mansion, the maids, women, daughters-in-law, and servants in the mansion are all standing neatly on both sides of the gate, and the men, women and children standing in the middle are all dressed in brocade clothes, with extraordinary style.

Perhaps after waiting for a while, the eyes of the two middle-aged ladies standing at the front clearly showed impatience. They didn't touch the jewelry on their heads until they saw a caravan of horses and horses approaching from a distance. The skinny smile on the face didn't smile.These two people are Mrs. Shun'an Bo's wife, Le Shi, and her second wife, Mrs. Chang.

Mother Qin, who was standing behind these two people, didn't care what others thought. When she saw the carriage approaching, she said with a smile: "The old lady is here!"

The first ones were of course the young masters on horseback. After dismounting and greeting the two ladies, the first carriage also stopped at the entrance of the mansion.

Everyone saw the two servants sitting outside the carriage got out of the carriage first, took down a carriage stool, and then lifted the curtain.First helped the two beautiful maids out of the car, Ning Cui and Yang Liu beside the old lady, and then saw a slender hand lift up the sky green gauze curtain, the old lady glanced out, and got out of the car with Yang Liu's hands .

The two younger maidservants who got out of the car after that were Susu and Yunduo.Susu raised her head a little, and then heard a sound of panting. She didn't know that it was those unruly servants who were peeking at her. Hearing the sound, there were quite a few people.After hearing this, the Da Furen's expression became a little uneasy.

At this time, the girls also got out of the carriage, and the carriage carrying luggage had already turned to the west corner gate.

Everyone greeted each other without elaborating, they surrounded the old lady and entered the door, and changed to sedan chairs.Naturally, Susu and the others had no sedan chair to sit on, so they went to Mother Qin.Yun Duo recognized Nanny Qin as her godmother, at this moment she held her arm affectionately, and said with concern: "Is everything all right, godmother?"

Nanny Qin patted her hand and said with a smile: "It's all good, it's just that when the old lady and you didn't arrive, I was an old woman guarding the huge yard, so it was a bit cooler!"

Yang Liu was very concerned about the yard where she would live in the future, so Mother Qin laughed and scolded: "You're just impatient, you'll find out soon!" Yang Liu smiled and took her hand, "Good mother, tell me quickly!" Qin Nanny nodded to Yang Liu's forehead, but her face was full of smiles.

In terms of feelings, a few clouds can't compare to the relationship between Yang Liu and the others and Nanny Qin. Nanny Qin couldn't help Yang Liu acting coquettishly, and said as she walked, "Our house is a quadrangle courtyard, and the whole mansion is divided into middle, east and west. Road, all roads are five-entry courtyard. Our Suian Hall is on the west side and the last three entrances, and the next side is across the yard for the girls. The place is not big, but there are many rooms, such as cross-yard, inverted seat room, rear cover room, wing room, hugging room, etc. Xia and the ear rooms are also enough to live in."

Speaking of this, Mother Qin felt that the people in the capital really knew how to play. There were so many houses in the courtyard that she, an old woman, almost got lost in the newly furnished Suian Hall.After thinking for a while, Mother Qin said again: "The middle is for the big house, and the east side is divided into two parts, half for the second house, and the other half for the third house. There is also an outer courtyard for the men to do business and a few unmarried young masters. The place where you live. The prince’s new house is at the back of the middle road, just a few corridors away from our Suian hall. It’s enough for you to know, it has nothing to do with us. I really don't know what regulations are in place in the mansion."

While talking, they walked about 300 meters, and when they turned a corner, they stopped the sedan chair, and the thick woman took over the sedan chair. Mother Qin explained: "After passing the hanging flower gate in front, it is considered the inner courtyard, and the servants are not allowed to enter and exit at will. Yes, come forward and serve."

The sedan chair fell in front of the hanging flower door, and Susu hurriedly stepped forward to raise the curtain of the sedan chair, and helped the old lady get off the sedan chair.The old lady called Susu and the others to look cautious, and the fifth and sixth girls who got off the sedan chair behind them also looked very uncomfortable, and said with a smile: "The houses in the middle of the capital are like this, one by one, and you will see them later." The famous 'alley', I am afraid it will be even more confusing."

Speaking of entering the vertical flower gate, there are chaoshou verandahs on both sides, and a hallway in the middle. There is a rosewood screen inlaid with marble on the ground. Turning the screen, you will see the main courtyard.There are five upper rooms on the front, and corridors and wing rooms on both sides, all of which are carved beams and painted columns, which are magnificent.

Although there are many houses in the yard, they are row upon row and orderly, making people feel at ease when they see them.

As soon as they entered the main room, Susu and the others relaxed, because the Suian hall and the Yangzhou garden looked the same, and even the furnishings were the same as the old lady used to.Susu and the others looked at Nanny Qin in admiration, she was indeed the number one confidant around the old lady.

After the old lady sat down, the first wife, the second wife's daughter-in-law and grandchildren formally greeted the old lady one by one.

The eldest lady is not yet 40 years old, but she is much older than when she was in Yangzhou. It seems that the lady Yue who is following her is more and more beautiful.Although Mrs. Yue can't be born again, the Elder Master feels that he owes her, not to mention saving a lot of money in his private house, and he also put a son born in the house under her name, and gave her to raise him, that is, the Eighth Young Master.

Now Mrs. Yue has a son, money and favor, and her natal family is more powerful because of the support of the elder. Even though Ping's wife is not popular in the capital, no one in the house dares to underestimate her.The Eighth Young Master is only three years old now, and he has been brought up very well by Mrs. Yue. Susu looked at him coldly, and he is more clever than the fourth-year-old Second Fang Young Master Seventh.One mouthful, one grandma, the sweet-mouthed one would compare to the sixth young master.

Over the past few years, Dafang has not only gained an eighth young master, but also a seventh-ranked girl, who was born to Liuli, the eldest maid of the eldest lady at that time. Because of the birth of a girl, Liuli was also raised from Tongfang. Aunt, called Aunt Mei.

Seventh Miss had a happy birthday, and she was almost five years old this year. After the eldest girl got married, Seventh Miss was brought up by the eldest lady, and Aunt Mei and Mrs. Yue fought fiercely.

The eldest lady brought the seventh girl to greet the old lady, and the seventh girl was very good at looking at people's faces at a young age.She is not familiar with the old lady, the grandmother, but she knows that her and her aunt's wealth and life are all in the hands of the old lady, so she will fight wherever she chooses.

Seeing that the lady was looking at Susu, she followed her gaze to Susu, and said innocently and cutely: "Where did this sister come from, she is more beautiful than my aunt and aunt Hua!"

The Aunt Hua she was talking about was the fourth girl's biological mother. It was originally a Yangzhou skinny horse given to the old man by someone. Beauty is a must, and she is also extremely talented.Even now that he is older, the Elder Master always visits her yard three or four days a month.

Because of her bad family background, Aunt Hua attaches great importance to the rules of words and deeds of the fourth girl. Back then, she knew that the fourth girl could be raised by the old lady's side, so she made a solemn vow to be a vegetarian every day for the rest of her life, praying for the old lady and the fourth girl .The old lady is also a hero with a generous personality regardless of her background. When she was in Yangzhou, she would often invite her to talk to her. She didn't despise her because of her background, which made the lady even more depressed. She said a lot of nasty things in private .

The eldest lady has no place to trouble the old lady. Fortunately, the concubine knew Susu well, looked at Susu out of the corner of her eye, and said with a fake smile: "But Susu is not..." (To be continued, Sister Fat also has a routine what!)
