Passerby's daily life

Chapter 55 On King Ke

Although Susu is thinking about her brother who is far away in the northwest, the most important thing now is the invitation from King Ke's Palace on the Double Ninth Festival.

This is the first time that King Ke has shown his favor to the Song family in public. The Song family naturally has to spend some time thinking if they want to hold a golden thigh.

The old lady opened a private treasury, and the Elder also took a few things from his own private house and the public treasury, except for a set of red gold necklaces, bracelets, and anklets inlaid with oriental pearls for the little princess, there were four other things , Each piece is worth thousands of gold!
Among them, the Gu embroidered flower-and-bird screen with an agarwood frame that the old lady took out is lifelike, and it is a treasure handed down that is hard to buy with money!As far as Su Su knows, this Gu embroidery is like the "Hui Wen" in "Dream of Red Mansions". It is romantic and unique without craftsmanship, and it has not been handed down many times, so it is naturally sought after.

After ordering the gift, it is natural to order the accompanying person.The second girl is engaged, so she shouldn't go out casually, so she won't go!The second lady wanted to go, but she insisted on putting on a gesture of telling the old lady not to invite her, so the old lady simply ignored her.The remaining three girls, four girls, five girls, and six girls are going to follow. Once the clothes and jewelry are ready, the old lady is worried, and asks the foster mother to explain carefully before giving up!

Yang Liu and Susu went out with the old lady, and a maidservant and a foster mother followed the girls.

Nowadays, two nuns are added to each girl's room, two second-class maids and two third-class maids are eliminated, and the number of rough envoys is also set at four. Even so, every girl is not counted as a nanny by her side. There are still fourteen people serving, no wonder there are three or four hundred servants in the whole house, and the monthly money is several hundred taels of silver, and the poor Song family has money left over!

On September [-], the Double Ninth Festival, the Double Ninth Banquet at the mansion was postponed until evening.

The four girls dressed up properly and came to the old lady's room. Susu was surprised when she saw the four girls' outfits.The third and sixth girls are the same as usual, but the fourth girl is not wearing the bright colors they usually like, but is wearing a skirt with a blue sky after the rain, embroidered with a few chrysanthemums, and wearing the same set of jewelry. Pink rose crystal series.

The fourth girl is about the same size as Susu, but now she looks rather childish, she trimmed her eyebrows and lowered her eyelashes, she is a harmless little lolita, Susu sighed that the master is among the people!

On the other hand, the fifth girl who usually loves to make people misunderstand that she has been abused is actually wearing a rose red skirt, embroidered with silver roses all over, which is very gorgeous.In addition, she looks pretty good, with rouge and powder on her face, her eyes are watery, I really feel pity for her.This made Susu look at the sky for a while, is the sun coming out from the west today?
The old lady didn't say anything, she just pressed her forehead when she got into the carriage and said, "Fourth girl has recognized the reality, and now she is planning for the future. I am very satisfied with that. But what does fifth girl want to do?"

Yang Liu took a pill of incense and put it in the incense burner, looked at each other with Susu, and said: "I heard that the brother of Aunt Wu's mother's family has also entered Beijing, just waiting for the test. The nanny of Miss Wu went out several times and said yes. Girls like to eat preserved apricots from a dried fruit shop outside."

The old lady closed her eyes, opened them again, her eyes were full of indifference, and she said lightly: "Don't worry about it. As a grandmother, I take care of her food and drink, and I hired someone to teach me etiquette, and I can't do anything else." Now! When you are two years older, you should be filial in front of your parents, so you can call your husband's family."

Miss Wu's performance during this time has completely irritated the old lady. Girls are not afraid of being ambitious, but in the end they must be measured, know etiquette, shame and family honor, but Miss Wu is determined to go all the way to the dark, saying It's not a good sentence, it's really a ghost that can't be saved by the gods!
Su Su saw that the old lady's expression was not good, so she quickly changed the subject and said, "Old lady, tell me about the Prince Ke's mansion, and let the slaves learn a lot."

Only then did the old lady laugh and said: "Haven't you heard enough these days?" But in the end, she still said what she knew.

"We just came to the capital, and what we know is only superficial. I specifically asked your elders and Wenchanghou's mansion to know something about it. His Royal Highness King Ke is the fourth among the princes, and he was born to the first wife of today. However, when King Ke was ten years old, Concubine Rong, who is now posthumously named Empress Xiaozhao, went away. The Holy Majesty married the daughter of Lord Wang, a cabinet scholar who is now the chief assistant of the cabinet, who is now Queen Wang."

The old lady sighed when she mentioned this, this Empress Wang is two years younger than Concubine Xi, and she has not given birth to an heir so far, otherwise the Song family really can't decide which prince to take refuge in?
The old lady went on to say: "When I came to the throne today, the four princes were named King Ke, and the hereditary marriage was given to the eldest granddaughter of Duke Ning, the founder of the country. There were also two side concubines from famous families, two concubine concubines and some attendants. Concubine, now I have two daughters and one son. The eldest princess is five years old this year, born to Concubine Leng; It's Princess Ke who was born in the first place, after Xisan, she will have the title of Qingfu, it's different between having a title and not having a title, a princess with a title is more noble than a princess without a title."

Speaking of this, the old lady shook her head, this princess Ke is also a capable person, but unfortunately she was a bit unlucky.King Ke has been married for seven years, and there are more than a dozen women in the mansion, but there are only three children. It can be seen that there is a lot of trouble in the backyard, so it is no wonder that the fourth girl wants to protect herself!

Susu thought of the heroine of Prince Ke's Mansion, who was her tenth sister and fellow villager in this life.Susu secretly pinched the purse in her sleeve, only looking forward to seeing her in person!
This is the heroine's snowing period. After this period of time, the heroine will be promoted all the way. If she doesn't hug her thigh at this time, when will she report?Sending charcoal in the snow is far more memorable than icing on the cake.

Susu also thought of Fang Guaner, a young opera singer in the mansion. After Yang Liu got the letter from Guanshi Qiao, he told Su Su Fang that Guaner was an official slave and had a lot of origins. The third room of the Duke's Mansion, the great-granddaughter who is the favorite of Mrs. Li, the little niece who couldn't help but give jerky in prison.

There is a reason why Susu is so sure.In each generation of Duke Li's mansion, there are always several boys and girls with exactly the same eyes. It is said that they inherited the first acting Mrs. Linlang, the famous Mrs. Linlang.This Mrs. Linlang was originally a noble lady from an extinct family. When Emperor Shengwu and the first acting Duke of the State were hunted down by the pursuers, they rescued them. He gave up all his wealth and a whole million taels of silver to Emperor Shengwu as military pay.After the founding of the country, Mrs. Li Guogong was named the eldest princess by Emperor Shengwu, and she was named Linlang. In Dachu, she was also a legendary woman.

In Susu's generation, the one with the same eyes as Susu is the heroine Ruan Shiniang, and the next generation is the nephew of the elder brother's family, and the younger niece of the second brother's family, who is now Fang Guan'er.

It is not terrible to be a slave, what is terrible is to be an official slave, and what is worse than an official slave is a fugitive slave.If the fugitive slaves were caught and returned, they would not only be beaten to death, but also tattooed on their faces, which is called tattooing.

On that day, Mother Zhao reported Su Su's illness and death, and let her assume Su Ho's identity. In terms of strength, Su Su can be regarded as a fugitive slave.How could she dare to recognize her niece even if she herself was in danger?It's just that I take care of her a little bit more based on my conscience and kinship.

As for daring to recognize the heroine, it is because the heroine is an adult who can analyze the pros and cons and will not reveal Susu's identity.

After Su Suda made up his mind, he calmed down and arrived at King Ke's mansion in a quarter of an hour.
