Passerby's daily life

Chapter 49 Banquet ([-]) ([-]rd update)

Everyone had dinner in the Suian hall, and around nine o'clock in the morning, some guests came.

The first one to arrive was the head wife of Wai Lang Sun's family, a member of the household department who was on the same level as the Grand Master. , There is no concubine in the family.

Mrs. Sun gave birth to two sons and a daughter, but this time she brought two girls.The two girls were both about thirteen or fourteen years old, and they were dressed in the same clothes. Only one looked bright and generous, while the other was a little weak and inferior.

When the two sides met the ceremony, Mrs. Sun was very cheerful and said with a smile: "I wanted to come to pay my respects to the old lady for a long time, but I was afraid of Meng Lang. I got the post from the old lady. I was so happy that I stayed up all night!"

I also met several girls from the Song family and gave them a gift, a gold inlaid jade ring. Seeing that the girls accepted it generously and did not look down on them, I was relieved.

In front of the old lady, she boasted: "I met the second young lady earlier, she was really magnificent, and today I found out that the old lady still hides so many fairies by her side, what a blessing!"

After boasting, Madam Sun asked her two girls to come forward and meet the old lady.The hearty and generous one is Mrs. Sun's own daughter, and the delicate one is the daughter of Mrs. Sun's sister. Only her mother died early, and she was brought up by her grandmother. She is a good cousin!

The old lady and the second lady also gave a meeting gift, the second lady gave each a gold hairpin, and the old lady gave a pair of emerald bracelets.Seeing this, the two girls dared not take it, it was too expensive, and Madam Sun also said it was too expensive.

The old lady smiled and said: "What is valuable or not, I like you as soon as I see you, and I will walk around a lot in the future to complete the friendship between the two families!"

The two bracelets are nothing more than the floating emerald ones, even Susu has several.The old lady has always been generous in her actions. What is precious to the Sun family is nothing to the Song family!
The old lady originally prepared a pair of inner-made flower hairpins inlaid with gold and silk, but after seeing the ones that Mrs. Sun gave to her daughter, she replaced them with bracelets because she was afraid that she would be embarrassed.

As soon as the meeting gift was given, another person came, this time two families came together, Zhou's family, Shangshu of the Ministry of Households, and Xue's family, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites.The two families brought five girls.

Leaving aside the Zhou family, the Xue family has a long-standing relationship with the Song family.The master of the Xue family was the official of the Ministry of Rites who went to Yangzhou to proclaim the decree when the Song family was named uncle. He was promoted from the third rank back then to the second rank now.

Mrs. Xue's family is over 50 years old this year, and she is already at the level of an old lady. Today, she brought three granddaughters, the older one is fourteen, the younger one is eight years old, and the middle one is ten years old.

This Mrs. Xue is also from a famous family, her natal family is a side branch of Duke Zhen, and the three girls she brought with her are naturally well-bred.

Next, the old lady of Wenchanghou's mansion led the six undecided girls in the family with Mrs. Wenchanghou. It was obvious that she attached great importance to the Song family. The old lady and everyone went to the gate to greet her in person.

Mrs. Chang Lebo was the last one to enter the door. She was naked.And since the old lady wants to entertain several families, she has already inquired about the situation of the families.Although there are many concubines of Bo Ji in Changle, they have never been concubines.

In addition to having two sons, Mrs. Chang Lebo also has a 12-year-old prostitute daughter.Another uncle's family is not separated, and there are several girls who are not engaged, but none of them came today. I don't know what it means!
Suian hall is not small, and it is full today.

When everyone saw the ceremony, the old lady said to the second girl: "You are not comfortable in front of us. Take your sisters to play in the garden." Then she said to the girls: "Just treat it as your own. At home, don't be restrained."

All the girls saluted the elders before going to the garden.

The old lady said to the wives: "The family also invited a few small plays, and some of them are not bad. Please comment and comment." Then she turned around and patted Susu's hand, "Go and have a look, it's ready. gone?"

Susu followed the old lady all the time before, and lowered her head, but now she came out after hearing the old lady's order, everyone couldn't help but secretly praised: what a beautiful person!
Today Susu is really not very well dressed, lotus-colored shirt, water-green skirt, a lotus-blue sweat scarf wrapped around her waist, and a childish double-hanging bun, with only a precious stone pinned to one side There are pearl flowers made of pearls, and a pair of pearl earrings on the ears.Only rings and bracelets are more expensive, in the style of double dragons playing with pearls, woven with shrimp whiskers and gold threads.But it can't help that people look good and have good temperament.

When Mrs. Wenchanghou saw Susu, her heart skipped a beat, but she didn't show it but smiled and said, "I didn't expect the old lady to hide such a lovely person, so that people like it when they see it."

The old lady smiled and said: "Stop praising her, she is just a monkey!" Then she said to Susu: "Go, if the ladies are not satisfied, you will be punished!"

Su Su's wonderful eyes turned around, and she said crisply: "Why is it so delicious and fun? The ladies have never seen it? Even if the servants did not complete the errands, and only rely on the old lady's intentions, the ladies are reluctant to punish the servants. of."

That small appearance made the ladies laugh too.The old lady scolded with a smile: "Look at your big face, you didn't handle the errands well, and you want the old lady to take the blame!"

After Su Su smiled and stepped back, Mrs. Wenchang Hou praised: "What a ghost!"

Mrs. Xue also said: "What is the origin of this girl? I think the maids around my old sister are all good, but this one is the most special."

The old lady wanted to make a face for Susu, and sighed: "" Susu grew up beside me, and if she is not afraid of jokes, even though she is a maid, I will take care of her as a half-granddaughter. "

Then Mrs. Song talked about Susu's life experience, just like telling a story.If it is made into a play, one can be called "Moving the Heaven and Earth, A Dutiful Daughter Sells Herself to Bury Her Father", and the other one is called "The Loyal Servant and the Savior, Fighting the Wild Boar". Ladies who have both loyalty and filial piety, sigh and pity!
After the old lady finished speaking, she saw Mrs. Wenchanghou's complexion changed slightly, and she knew what she was thinking when she changed her mind.With a secret sigh in my heart, I said: "Originally, I was going to give her out of citizenship, but after all, she is still young, and I can't leave him. I will stay for a few more years, and when the time comes, I will choose a good husband's family for her and give her more dowry. It also counts as the friendship between our master and servant."

As soon as this remark came out, the wives praised it again. It is a good story to be loyal to the benevolent Lord.

Only then did Madam Wenchang Hou secretly heave a sigh of relief, so don't worry that such a maid is not for my uncle!

And the old lady of Wenchang Hou has long noticed that her daughter-in-law's face has changed slightly, and she shakes her head in her heart. It's about her children, and even a smart woman will be upset.

Thinking with your toes, this girl will not be a housekeeper for her grandson-in-law!One is that Mrs. Song was not confused about this and offended the Marquis of Wenchang; the other is that Mrs. Song didn't even care about the affairs of her son's room, so she would go to her grandson's room to find dislike.Judging by how she behaves, it's not a lot of things.It is also a blessing for my granddaughter to have such a mother-in-law and grandmother!
