Passerby's daily life

Chapter 53 Letter from Hong Sheng ([-])

When the guests left, everyone in the Song family heaved a sigh of relief, they cleaned up and went down to eat.

With her hungry chest pressed against her back, Susu ate a few mouthfuls of the dim sum plate offered by the old lady before she breathed a sigh of relief, which made the old lady feel distressed, but the girls were all there, so it was hard to say anything.

Seeing that Susu was very hungry, the second girl still ate slowly and slowly, she didn't care much about Susu's limelight at the flower banquet, and such a character could not be buried anywhere.

Susu looks good, has a good character, and abides by the rules, no wonder grandma likes it.

The second girl is not stupid, on the contrary, she is very shrewd. It is human instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.Thinking of what the maid said to me after the banquet today, it seems that it is better to transfer Xiang Lian away from me.At the beginning, it was because her sister became the daughter-in-law of the woman in charge of the public storehouse that she was promoted to the second class to be with me. Now that this relationship is gone, and Susu has been offended, he naturally cannot keep her.

Susu didn't know what the second girl was thinking, and was about to go down to have a sip of tea, when she heard the fifth girl smiled and said: "Original sister Susu ran away when we talked about writing poetry at home. I just found out today that it turned out to be Keep it hidden, save face for us! Piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, hops, firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar tea, really good poems, I can’t think of them anymore!”

The fifth girl's expression was sincere, and she seemed to be admiring, but Susu shuddered. What the fifth girl said was really embarrassing, what does it mean for a maid to save face for the girls?
Susu put down the snack plate, and said calmly: "Miss Wu is not worthy of complimenting a servant girl. The girl also knows that servant girls like to read some miscellaneous books. This poem is the same as lotus tea. I don't know which book the servant girl read. , the original verse is "qinqi, calligraphy, painting, poetry and hops, everything was inseparable from him back then, but now seven things have changed, firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea." Today, I just thought of it and said a few words casually. In terms of hiding, our family has five One girl is enough!"

The fifth girl's face froze when she heard this, and then she smiled softly: "Are we Wang Po selling melons, selling melons and boasting?" Everyone also laughed.

Afterwards, the old lady was tired, so she asked the girls to go down to rest too.

After the girls left, the old lady took Susu's hand and said, "My good boy, I have wronged you!" Susu smiled, "No wronged, I understand that the old lady is doing it for the sake of my servant. The maidservants of the mansion, who can chat and laugh with the girls? They are all the face of the old lady for the servants!"

Mrs. Song patted Susu in relief, "I knew you understood this heart. You look good. We were in Yangzhou before, and our family was the largest. If you don't go out to meet people, you will disappear. It's not up to our wishes. You are one year old and two years old, and I have to plan for your future. Let's neither steal nor rob, face is given by our parents, so it's better to be generous."

Of course, it is also for the sake of the Anwenchang Marquis, such a maid can only be married off, instead of leaving it at home for the men, so that there will be a joke of pampering concubines and destroying wives in the future!

Susu also understood this, so she didn't hide and choke in front of the girls in the Marquis of Wenchang's mansion, and she didn't have the confidence to speak, because she would not rely on their girls for food in the future!
Like a gust of wind, the Shun'anbo mansion was blown into the circle of aristocrats, and there were endless postings, the most high-ranking postings were sent by Changlong Princess' mansion.

The old lady hadn't been free for a few days, so Susu and Yunduo went out with them, and got a lot of rings and gold bracelets. Pair of jade bracelets.

There is no way, these old ladies always love to hear the stories of those loyal servants and filial masters, and seeing Susu's character and appearance, and the old lady is very close to them, so naturally they will not be stingy.Although it is not as good as the gift for the girls, it is also the first one among the maids, so people should not look down upon it, but in fact it is also love for the house!
The old lady was grateful, so she asked Susu to specially make two kinds of incense and sent them to the Dachang Princess' mansion and Prince Gong's mansion, which are more considerate than valuables!
But the eldest princess Changlong and the old concubine of Prince Gong had never seen anything good, so they didn't care about it, but they were very fond of fragrances. They heard that they were made by Susu, and they praised their ingenuity and returned. Not to mention the presents, I also rewarded Susu with a few bolts of cloth. Susu's name is also well-known in the maid circle!

In a blink of an eye, it was September.

Just after breakfast that day, a servant girl came back and said that the nanny in charge of Prince Ke's mansion came to visit the old lady, which surprised everyone!
The Song family and King Ke are in private contact. Eight out of ten posts by Princess Ke's banquet are not for the Shun'anbo Mansion. Why is there a nanny in charge of the King's Mansion today?

The old lady hurriedly said: "Please come in!"

Two nuns in their fifties came in: one was wearing a dark red plain face with a maroon swastika inlaid with a Hangzhou silk beanie border, her hair was combed neatly behind her head, and two red gold chrysanthemum hairpins were inserted. , with a pair of red gold gourd pendants on his ears, his expression on his face is plain but impressive, and the distance he walks seems to be exactly the same as if he had measured it with a ruler!
The other, surnamed Chen, simply wore a round bun with a jade hairpin inserted, green as water and green as jade.There is also a forehead embroidered with auspicious wishful patterns on a black background, and the face full of smiles reflected by a pair of jasper pendants becomes whiter and tenderer. At a glance, one can tell that he is a respectable person who is favored and reused by the master!

The two nuns greeted the old lady, and only then did they know that the serious one surnamed Wei was the nanny in charge of the outer courtyard of King Ke's mansion. Married to the chief steward of the original Rong Palace.After ascending the throne today, he awarded the Rongwang Mansion to his original wife, his son-in-law, King Ke. The original chief steward and Nanny Wei naturally followed the young master, and King Ke liked it very much.

The other Nanny Chen is the nanny of Princess Ke. Although she is not as respectable as Grandma Wei in Prince Ke's mansion, she is most trusted by the princess.These two are also figures on the top of the pyramid of slaves in King Ke's Mansion, even if some masters are not as respectable as them.

The old lady asked someone to move two embroidered celadon teapots for the two mothers to sit on, and when they were seated, she asked someone to serve refreshments.

When the two arrived, Nanny Chen with a smiling face glanced at Nanny Wei, and then said: "I should have come to see the old lady earlier, but our princess is heavy and your house is busy. Although I know that the old lady is coming to Beijing, but I can't post a post to entertain you. Coincidentally, September [-]th is both the Double Ninth Festival and the full moon of our little princess, the princess posted a post and asked the servants to send it, and please the old lady to appreciate it at that time."

The old lady hurriedly asked Susu to take the post, and said with a smile: "The princess is really old! Thanks to the princess, I will definitely go when the time comes!"

Nanny Chen said again: "At that time, there will also be girls from relatives' families. I heard that the girls in the mansion are all extraordinary. The princess said that the girls in the mansion will also be invited to come and have fun."

The old lady turned around in her heart, and responded with a smile on her face.

At this moment, Wei Wei, who was silent next to him, said: "This time, apart from the happy event of our palace, the prince asked the old slave to come over to apologize to the old lady, and Hong Qianhu asked someone to bring a gift to your mansion. The servant didn't know that the old lady was going to Beijing, and sent the festival ceremony to Yangzhou, and it was delayed. As soon as it was delivered yesterday, the prince asked the old slave to deliver it first."

"Hong Qianhu, isn't it Brother Sheng? It's only been less than a year, and Brother Sheng has become a thousand households!" The old lady asked in surprise... (to be continued!)
