Passerby's daily life

Chapter 50 The little actor (fourth update)
Susu came to the backyard, the stage was behind the garden, and the girls were walking in groups to enjoy the flowers in the garden. Among them, several rose trees were horticultural flowers bought at a high price. It is cultivated by horticultural methods such as stemming, grafting, pruning, and shaping, which is very rare!

After Susu came to salute the girls, she went to the stage behind the garden, leaving a group of little girls chattering.

Apart from the second girl who was already engaged, among the girls present, the oldest was only 14 years old. In modern times, they were still a bunch of minors who hadn't graduated from junior high school or elementary school.Although she is gracious and charming on the surface, but in private, she secretly compares her family background, appearance, and talent, and there are some who can be divided into ranks and ranks!

The two girls from the Sun family were somewhat isolated without seeing them. If it wasn't for the girls from the Song family and the girls from the Marquis of Wenchang who pulled the two girls from the Sun family to talk with each other from time to time, they would have been left alone.

Even the fifth girl who always loves to play the white lotus of the Virgin Mary doesn't pay much attention to the girl with the same model, which shows that same-sex repulsion makes sense to a certain extent!

Girls from the Song family have a family, are good-looking, and are not bad at learning. Now even a servant girl compares them in appearance, and some girls who are not big-minded can't help but feel a little depressed!
The ninth girl of the Zhao family is about the same size as the sixth girl, and she is most loved by the old lady of Wenchang Hou at home. She is a compatriot with the wife of Shizi who is about to marry into the Shun'anbo Mansion. Because of their similar temperament, they became good friends as soon as they met.

At this time, he took Miss Liu's hand and said, "What's the name of that elder sister just now, and what's her background? She looks too good!"

Those present who were not human beings fell silent when they heard this.

The sixth girl blinked her eyes and said: "That's the big maid in front of my grandmother, Sister Susu. She was the most favored by my grandmother. She came to our house when she was seven years old. I heard that she was the daughter of a scholar's family. She not only knows how to read and write, She looks good and has a good temper, and she is the most considerate!"

Miss Zhao Jiu just wanted to ask a few more questions, when the fourth girl smiled and said, ""Sister Zhao Jiu, don't be like my sixth sister, who only remembers that beauties forget to eat.After a while, when grandma is not busy, I will come to Susu and let you have a look. Now, son, let's go enjoy the lotus and have tea!If the girls are told to go home on an empty stomach at that time, we sisters will really be unable to meet people. "

Everyone was laughed at by her, and the fourth girl in the Zhao family laughed and said: "If you have something delicious to drink, bring it up quickly. If you tell us to go home on an empty stomach, we will go to Mrs. Song and sue you." shape!"

The girls chatted and laughed and came to the viewing pavilion beside the small lake.

And Susu also came to the stage at the back of the garden. Nanny Qin is leading the maids and women to check the tableware for the last time. They all have a chair for each person, a square table, and a high table in the middle, with teacups, fresh fruits, Dried fruit, candied fruit, etc.

Seeing Susu coming, Nanny Qin wiped her sweat with a handkerchief and said, "I'm really old, and my memory is bad!"

Susu smiled and said: "An old man is like a treasure, mother, please take a rest, don't tire out our treasure!"

Qin Nanny smiled and pinched her little face, "You are the only one who is naughty! But the old lady and the guests are coming?"

Susu nodded, and Mother Qin hurriedly said: "You go to the stage and have a look, tell them to get ready, the wives will come later, there must be no mistakes."

Susu said: "Those little opera singers have stayed at our house for more than half a year, and the men have invited them to sing a few times at the banquet in front of them. What they have heard is good."

When Susu came to the side of the stage, the maids and servants who were in charge stopped their work to greet Susu, "The girl is here!" Susu waved her hands and told them what to do.The actors who heard the voices from the stage also came out to welcome them, the first one was the master of this group of small operas, a woman in her 30s, not very good-looking, but dressed in Tsing Yi, she was very charming on the stage , outsiders call her Tsing Yi lady, because she is old and doesn't often go on stage, she was hired by the old man at a high price to teach this group of little actors, and because her surname is Jin, she was called "Aunt Jin".

Susu has only been acquainted with her for a few days. It turned out that the old lady asked Susu to pack some things and give them to Aunt Jin and these little actors.

"Why is Miss Susu here?" Susu glanced at the girls behind Aunt Jin, only smiled when she saw Fang Guan, and said: "The old lady and the guests will be here soon, let me come and have a look. Jin Auntie, are you ready?"

Aunt Jin hurriedly said: "It's ready, just waiting for the distinguished guests to order a play!"

Just as they were talking, Yang Liu came in, holding a roster of plays in his hand, met Aunt Jin and Susu, and said: "This is a play ordered by the ladies, let's start after waiting for the guests to sit down, the first The first one is "The Peony Pavilion" ordered by our old lady, and the second one is "Mr. She Orders Generals" ordered by the old lady of the Marquis of Wenchang, so you need to be more careful."

Aunt Jin took the play list and said with a smile: "Girl, please reassure the old lady! I'm busy now, so I won't keep the girls! Treat the girls to tea another day!" Susu and Yang Liu laughed Leave only after answering.

And under the stage, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl with good looks snorted coldly when she saw the two of them leave, "Mei Xiang worships her as a slave, but she regards herself as her master! Master, aren't you Why are you being so polite to them in the house of prostitution!"

Aunt Jin glanced at her, and said with a sneer: "I think it's because I treat you too well on weekdays, but you don't know how powerful the world is! The servants and maids are also divided into three, six, and nine grades. They are the big maids who are proud of the old lady. , a character like a vice lady, you can leave your nationality and marry a good family in the future. You are cheap actors, can you compare with others?"

Then the voice changed, "Don't blame the master for my bad-sounding speech and the ability to be jealous of others. Why don't you learn more skills, sing well, and make the masters happy, and maybe I will also cancel your slave status, no need Arbitrarily assigned servants, and told the children born to follow your old ways!"

Aunt Jin's words made the girls wonder how much they thought. The girl who just started talking was called the dealer. She was good-looking, had a sweet mouth, and had a good voice. Aunt Jin had no children, and she was always doted on. , the temper is inevitably more arrogant.In addition, there are some reasons inside, seeing the Song family's rich and noble town, the more big-eyed and empty-hearted!

Susu and Yang Liu didn't know about the commotion on the other side of the stage. After Yang Liu pulled Susu out, he said, "It's a pity for these girls! I heard from my father that there are official slaves in the house, who are now enthroned by the Holy Majesty." The daughters of those criminal officials who copied later were also the daughters of everyone, but they were reduced to being slaves and handmaids for generations."

Hearing this, Susu's heart skipped a beat, and she asked, "Which one is an official slave, and what's their origin? I saw a few of them with good temperament, and wondered why they became actors!"

"I'm not sure about that. I'll ask my father someday. That Fang Guaner looks a lot like you. If he's really good, we can take care of him more." After speaking, Yang Liu clapped his hands. Head, "Look at my brain, I almost forgot the business, the fourth girl just sent someone to say that they have all the food, beauty and wine, and they are short of a beauty, please tell the old lady to call you over, the old lady agrees, Let me tell you, be generous, don't weaken her reputation, and take care of some girls by the way."

Susu sighed, Yang Liu looked at her sympathetically, she looks so good, sometimes it really is, it's a misfortune rather than a blessing!
