Passerby's daily life

Chapter 52
When Xiangming and Susu came to the waterside pavilion, the girls were still in the pavilion in the lake, and there was a small boat in the lake not far away, and the people on it were waving at Susu.

Su Su fixed her eyes and saw that it was Miss Six, Miss Zhao Jiu, and Miss Xue Er, all of them were about ten years old.

The lake in the Yangzhou garden is bigger than this one. In the past, the girls often took boats to play. Even Susu once worked as a lotus picking girl. There are maids and servants who can swim in the boat, so don't worry.

Susu also waved to them, Xiangming stayed in the water pavilion and lit a small red clay stove to boil water, and Susu stepped onto the corridor.

The girls in the Huxin Pavilion followed the sight of the sixth girl and looked at Susu who was walking over. She had a natural posture, full of coquettishness, and her appearance was alluring, like a painting.

Zhou Mei, the eldest granddaughter of the Hubu Shangshu family, is 13 years old this year. She has a high self-esteem and is known as a talented woman in the capital. , I know what is meant by 'Furong is not as good as beauty makeup, and the wind in the water palace comes with pearls and emerald fragrance'."

The rest of the girls felt the same way, and they were envious and jealous in their hearts.But the face is full of glory.

When Susu walked in, although everyone had seen her in the garden once, Su Su gave a salute and then left, so she didn't have time to take a closer look. Now that she was secretly looking at it, she wanted to praise again, "The lotus that comes out of the water is the most beautiful." Not only does she look good, she doesn't have the temperament of a maid. Although she doesn't dress up, she wears gauze in a dignified way. It's better than the clothes of some girls present, but it's more elegant without some delicate embroidery. !

After greeting the girls, the fourth girl pulled Susu to her side, and said with a smile: "The beautiful scenery is like poetry, the beauties are picturesque, and after a while, there will be delicious wine and food. Let's make a perfect one!"

After Susu heard this, she secretly squeezed the fourth girl's hand, and the fourth girl blinked, eyes full of helplessness.

The grandmother loves Susu, and the mother-in-law said something about "people in the house" that day. Although the grandmother asked everyone to control her mouth after the incident, but there are many people talking about it. This is not a secret at all in the Song family. It is not difficult for the Zhao family to know. .

Seeing Susu now, she looks really good, it's hard for the Zhao family to have no idea, why don't they get to know Susu's personality, so that the sister-in-law won't feel uncomfortable when she enters the house, and also rectify Susu's name!If Susu really wanted to be an aunt, how could there be any need for her aunt to speak?
Susu sighed in her heart, feeling that she was really not suitable for interpersonal communication, but smiled on her face: "You can't escape the beautiful scenery, the beauties are hungry and thirsty, and the delicious wine and food can't be waited for. The girls are elegant, look Everything is poetic and picturesque, but the servant is a vulgar person, who only knows how to starve without eating a single meal!"

It happened that the six girls and the three went up to the pavilion, holding the picked lotus leaf and lotus in their hands. Susu took it, pointed to the lotus leaf and said: ""This is the lotus leaf cake!" "Shaking the lotus again, "This is lotus tea!" "

The sixth girl who was only talking about it was a little puzzled, "What's wrong with my sister?" Seeing that the other sisters and sisters covered their mouths and laughed, they were even more puzzled.

The third girl smiled and told her younger sister what she said before, and the sixth girl also smiled and said: "People often say that vulgarity is elegance, and sister Susu is a person with a good temperament."

Miss Zhao Jiu next to her was full of inquiry and curiosity, "On the boat earlier, Qingwan (Miss Song Liu's boudoir name) said that she would invite us to drink lotus tea, and she picked a few flower buds, saying that it was a novel cassock that my sister thought of. Although I haven't drunk it yet, when I see my sister, the tea must be very good!"

Su Su hurriedly said: "But I can't be praised by the nine girls. It's just that I have nothing to do. I saw it in the book and made it for fun. I never thought that the old lady and the girls agreed, and today I will start For the lotus feast, I took it out."

As they spoke, everyone came to the water pavilion, which is surrounded by water on three sides and decorated with floor-to-ceiling glass doors. Now the three glass doors are wide open, all hung with veils that have been rained and azure. Also comfortable.

Xiang Ming got up to salute the girls. At this time, the water on the red clay stove had already boiled. After all the girls sat down, a servant girl came up with fresh fruits, snacks and candied fruit.

Susu asked the girls to wait a while, then took the flower buds picked by the sixth girl to the fragrant tea, and asked someone to put on a glass tea set.

After Susu made some moves, she returned to the table, holding the tea set, and there was tea in the teapot, which turned out to be an unopened lotus flower.

Although the girls are elegant on weekdays, no one would have thought that they would make tea with lotus flowers.

Fourth Miss Zhao said with a smile: "It's strange to see this, and please ask Miss Su Su to explain it to us, and when I get home, I will show off with my grandmother."

Although this kind of thing is novel, it is not enough to put it in front of the wives, but the girls will definitely like it.

Seeing the curious faces of all the girls, Susu looked at her cutely. Even if she wasn't a lolicon, she was attracted by all the big and small lolitas. She smiled slightly and said, "This tea, the name is not unusual. It is called lotus tea. It is to seal the best tea leaves in the lotus flower that has just budded, and tie it tightly with a thread. When you want to drink it, you pick off the flower stem and soak the whole flower in a glass pot until it blooms. Come, the tea tastes good." (This can be seen from the book "Shu De Yi" written by Huai Su, which is also one of Ah Fat's favorite time-travel novels.)
Miss Zhao Liu didn't say much since she entered the garden, and she sighed after hearing this: "It's really crystal heart that can come up with something like this, Miss Su Su is an elegant person."

Susu quickly waved her hands: "I didn't come up with this idea. I read a lot of books on weekdays, and my mind is all on eating and drinking. Girls, don't make jokes!"

Zhou Mei has always loved lotus tea, so she really liked it when she saw this, "It won't happen this year, and next year I will also use this method to make lotus tea at home, when the time comes, I will ask the girl to comment on it!"

Susu said: "Girls are playing piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and wine, and servants are rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. If you lead all the girls to eat and drink, it will be the fault of slaves!"

The third girl smiled and said: "You are being polite here, the tea will be cold in a while."

All the girls thought about what Susu said just now, "Qinqi, calligraphy, painting, poetry, hops, firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea", they couldn't help but praised Susu in their hearts, and gave Susu another high-level look!
This is really a misunderstanding.

Susu is really a poetic scumbag, and she doesn't want to plagiarize.All through the ages, when girls wrote poems, she always ran far away.This sentence was seen by her in her previous life, but now she said it unintentionally.

Afterwards, the girls talked about the water for making tea, and the third girl specially called the tea to her. The girls saw that one or two servant girls of the Song Mansion were so elegant, and that the girls were proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and they were very happy with each other. After all, Uncle Ann's mansion has changed a lot!
You must know that when the eldest lady goes out as a guest, she really acts like a nouveau riche, and the second lady is too "scrupulous". not good.

If it weren't for the elders being able to behave themselves, and the young masters being talented and handsome, it would be impossible for Shun'anbo Mansion to marry Wenchang Hou Mansion.

Comparing again today, I really admire Mrs. Song in my heart.If Mrs. Song had followed her to Beijing three years ago, there would not be a small number of guests today.

However, if she shows up at the palace banquet, she will be appreciated by Princess Changlong, Prince Gong and Concubine Zhen, and the old lady of Zhen Guogong, so what about her maidservant background?Maids from princely mansions are also very sought-after, and there are also many people who are married to officials of the seventh or eighth rank!So today, when I met Susu with such good looks, I never underestimated her. Even if there was something she didn't like, when she saw Zhao's girl and Zhou's girl complimenting her, the Song's girl even defended this maid very much, and no one was on her face. show up.

It was after one o'clock in the afternoon that the banquet ended, and it was regarded as a feast for the guests of honor, and the personal appearance of the old lady and the girls in the Shun'anbo Mansion also spread to the aristocratic circle. Of course, in the boudoir Talk a few words about Susu, the stunning maid of the Song family, there are many people there!
