Passerby's daily life

Chapter 41 Settlement
When the food was brought back, Susu and other big maids were better off, but the original four dishes and one soup became three dishes and one meal, but it was still hot. Knowing the ingredients of the stew and two steamed buns, let alone how it tastes.

The old lady was worried at first, so she took a special look, and turned cold on the spot, "What kind of family is our family, they are not afraid of being ashamed if it is spread! The Qi family governs the country and the world, and the boss can't even manage the family, what is the official?" .”

Susu hurriedly persuaded: "Master is busy with court affairs, how do you know about this. Since you are here, these things at home must be taken care of."

There are three people in a family (Da Furen, Second Furen, and Yue Furen) arguing, and everyone wants to get something out of their own pockets. In addition, there are also dirty servants, so it is lucky that there is no trouble and only harsh servants.If it is really like in "A Dream of Red Mansions", Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng put usury, that is a crime.

Su Su thought well, but she still underestimated the boldness of the eldest lady, how could she know that it was not that the eldest lady didn't want to let go of the usury money, but she just let the old man know about it, that's why I begged the old man so much. The matter of people rushing to Beijing, only the old master didn't dare to say it in the letter, for fear of making his wife angry.

Hearing what Susu said, the old lady also knew that her eldest son was really clear about big things and didn't care about small things.The rectification of this mansion is imminent, but it is not too bad today.I couldn't fall asleep even during the afternoon nap, so I changed into homely clothes.

After a while, Nanny Qin came back, and the old lady asked, "But everything has been settled?" Nanny Qin took the handkerchief Yun Duo handed over and wiped off her sweat, and said, "It's all settled, Miss Si, Six The girl lives in the East Kua Courtyard, the third girl and the fifth girl live in the West Kua Courtyard, and there is another exquisite courtyard facing the street, where the nuns and teachers live. The wing room in the yard is temporarily vacant, and the reverse room is reserved for the servants of the rough envoy. , the back room is allocated to the second and third class maids."

The old lady nodded after hearing this: "But there are drawings?" Mother Qin took out a folded silk painting from her bosom, opened it, and it turned out to be the floor plan and three-dimensional map of Shun'anbo Mansion, "This is the old slave The elder gave it to me when I first came here, otherwise, the old slave would be dizzy."

The old lady looked at the drawing and asked: "I have heard and said that there is a garden in our backyard, but I don't know about the flower hall and stage behind the garden, it is newly built?" Mother Qin said with a smile: "It is not newly built! The Elder Master said to give you a surprise, he bought more than a dozen small actors a few years ago, and asked someone to teach them."

The old lady also smiled and said: "You will speak well for the boss, these are popular in the Xungui Mansion in the capital." Then she asked: "What are the side rooms on both sides of the main house for? Where do you place them?"

Mother Qin heard her master ask her where to put her first, she felt warm in her heart, and replied: "The east side room is connected to the main room, and the old slave is placed there. The west side room is closer to the warehouse in the backyard, so I thought There are three Baoxia rooms in the back of the main house, so Yangliu will live in three. But the west side room is not as bright as Baoxia, and Susu has been wronged."

Hearing this, Susu hurriedly said: "I'm wronged no matter where. It's next to the old lady and clean, so don't fight me!" Yang Liu and the other three pretended to be envious and said, "I really want you to get all the good things, Qin. Mammy is biased!"

Laughing, the residence of the four of them was settled in this way, and the old lady told them to go down to resettle first, leaving Nanny Qin to talk.

Four of Susu went out of the main house, and the yard was full of maids who were busy making arrangements. The three of Yangliu turned from the east corridor to the corner gate, and Susu went directly to the west, but only a few steps away was the west ear room.

The west ear room is facing the west wing, with Chaoshou veranda in front and a small flower bed in front of the door.To the west is the Moon Cave Gate, which, like the East Corner Gate, is connected to the backyard.Next to it is a high courtyard wall.

Susu pushed open the door of the west ear room under the envious eyes of the maids and servants in the courtyard.Everyone sighed privately, after all, she is the most favored maidservant around the old lady, the treatment is different, even Yang Liu didn't live in this room, not only being close to the old lady, looking at the window, but using the whole Inlaid with a large piece of glass.

Glass is not uncommon in Dachu, and the Royal Household Office runs a glass factory.Considering the business strategy of the time traveler and the production level of this era, glass is still a luxury and has not been popular among the people.

Susu also ignored the complicated eyes behind her, closed the door after entering the house, and then observed her residence for at least five years in the future.

The house is nearly one-third smaller than the house in Yangzhou, but it has everything you need, and the furniture is better than the previous one, either red rosewood or rosewood.Before Su Su could take a closer look, Nanny Qin knocked on the door and came in, and gave Su Su two bunches of keys.

"These are the keys to the various parts of the warehouse. They are the same as those in Yangzhou. It doesn't matter if you buy things from the public, you go to open the warehouse first, and ask the maids to get them according to the previous share in our yard. .The newcomers have them too. The gift items for the four of you are also in the warehouse."

Susu took the key, took Qin Nanny's arm and said, "Good Nanny, I've made you worry about this house!"

Qin Nanny patted Susu's hand: "It's because I wronged you, what is that idea? You, the most clean, there are hundreds of maidservants No. 80 living in the backyard, so I asked you to come over. You will be bored in two days. Now a yard is not as good as before, so be careful with everything, when Yang Liu and Ning Cui are married, Mammy can't ask you to hide and relax like now."

Susu smiled like a little fox: "It's only a moment if you can hide for a while!"

Susu changed her clothes, then went out, turned west and turned out of the Moon Cave Gate, which is the backyard, where people are coming and going.

There is a big garden in the middle of the backyard, and there is a rockery and a clear stream. It is already very beautiful from a distance.

Susu first came to the three small Baoxia halls on the south side, and the three Yangliu were also tidying up. Seeing Susu coming, he said, "Hurry up and open the storeroom and give us the boxes and cages. The room is full of furniture and even bedding. nothing."

Susu looked inside, and although it was bigger than the side room, it was still very empty, so she smiled and said: "If you want a cage, you have to help me first, God knows where everything is buried! The old lady said I will use the things in the small warehouse to distribute to the servants first, and I will find them for you after this matter is done."

After Yang Liu heard this, she said in a low voice: "What do you think is the brain of that one over there? She can figure it out thanks to her. I asked Chunfeng just now, and the big girl's share is better, and the rest is given to the little girl. It’s really impossible to look at the case.”

Susu smiled lightly: "Why do you care about her!"

Ning Cui and Yun Duo went to work as errands in the upper room, Su Su pulled Yang Liu to be a strong man, and together with Ning Xiang and Wu Tong, they worked in the warehouse for a whole afternoon. After finding the cages and moving them back to their respective houses, they breathed a sigh of relief.I don't know which messenger did the good thing. No. 80 maids and wives came to collect the order together. A group of women gathered together, regardless of their age, they all looked like a vegetable market.

Before dinner, the elder also "off work" from the household department, and came to greet the old lady before he changed his official uniform. At this time, Susu and the others had just finished packing and were going to the room to tell the old lady interesting stories about the "vegetable market" , so that the old lady laughed and scolded Susu for being narrow-minded, and the elder came in at this moment...
