Passerby's daily life

Chapter 68 Rewards
Susu talked about who she was, and Yang Liu was so angry that she shook her hand on the spot, sat on the stool, turned around and ignored her, seeing that Susu didn't speak, she couldn't help but said: "It's the palace. When the empress saw us, she also admired the jewelry made inside, and even gave you the rouge and gouache for her purse. Am I angry with five or six taels of gold? We are the most favored maids in front of the old lady. In my eyes, I just don't value the old lady. Aren't I afraid that there will be another big lady and second lady like that?"

After Susu heard this, she hurried forward to stop her mouth: "My good sister, keep your voice down, it's okay if I make a mistake. Maybe it's the rules in the family of the young lady!"

Yang Liu saw that Susu still did not forget to explain to the eldest young lady, and said angrily: "You are good at sex! Go to your kitchen and don't let me see you again for a while. I am so mad!"

Susu hurriedly apologized: "Yes, I'm going to disappear!" That look made Yang Liu "puchi" amusedly, and she nodded to Susu's forehead, "You!"

Susu and Yang Liu kept this matter a secret.The old lady was very satisfied with the grandson's daughter-in-law's family background and character, after all, it's not easy to use these trivial things to trouble her.

And Susu also knew that someone must have given her eye drops and chewed her tongue.These people are either from the First Lady's Court, or from the Second Lady's Courtyard, or from both courtyards. It is inevitable that the First and Young Lady will not welcome her.

Early in the morning, at 06:30, all the masters and relatives of the mansion gathered in Suian Hall, because today is the first day for the new daughter-in-law to visit her uncle.

After a while, Shizi came with the young lady.Today, the eldest and young lady is wearing a big red jacket inlaid with gold trim and embroidered with a hundred butterflies, and a skirt with phoenix tail pattern embroidered with pomegranate red and gold thread.

Black hair tied up into a ponytail, a red gold inlaid ruby ​​phoenix holding a pearl tassel on the left side obliquely, a palm-sized peony temple flower of red coral inlaid with citrine on the right sideburn, and a red gold and ruby ​​phoenix on the back of the head. Butterfly hair.On the neck is a red gold collar with chi patterns inlaid with eight treasures, and a suet jade cloud lock piece hangs on it. On the ears are a pair of ruby ​​earrings, which look like a fairy concubine.

He Shizi is a talented man and a beautiful woman, a real couple!
"Please the eldest son and the eldest young lady to serve tea to the old lady!" A little maid had already put away the cotton pad embroidered with double happiness in red, and both the eldest son and the young lady kowtowed to the old lady, brought the tea and said in unison: " Invite grandma to tea!"

The old lady took the grandson's first, took a sip, and then took the grandson's daughter-in-law, took a sip as well, accepted Zhao Lanzhi's set of clothes with a smile on her face, gave the prepared gift to the grandson's wife, and asked someone to help them up , Said: "You are the eldest son and grandson of our family, and the daughter-in-law of the eldest grandson, you must respect your elders and love your brothers and sisters."

The old lady looked at the young lady and nodded seriously, and said with a smile: "Of course, if Qinghe bullies you, grandma will definitely decide for you!" Everyone laughed kindly, and Zhao Lanzhi flushed with shame.

Then I greeted my in-laws, uncles and aunts.

The eldest lady said a few words in a lukewarm manner, and then she got up under the gaze of the elder, and gave her a pair of bracelets.

The second lady was very polite, "I heard that my niece and daughter-in-law are well-known talented women in the capital, so she will come to my yard more often in the future." Seeing that she didn't mention the second master, the old lady was also speechless towards this selfish daughter-in-law. He hurriedly said: "Your second uncle is working outside, even though he couldn't come back in time, he entrusted someone to give a gift to his nephew and daughter-in-law, and someone will send it to you in a while."

Zhao Lanzhi responded with a smile, and met with the third master and the third wife. The third wife took a pair of shoes from the nephew and daughter-in-law, and said with a smile: "I was wondering when I could wear the shoes made by my daughter-in-law. The filial piety of the niece and daughter-in-law is the same!"

Zhao Lanzhi knew that although the third wife was a concubine, she had always been close to her biological elder brother. The third aunt was also the old lady's niece. Since she came to Beijing, she was the one who took care of the wedding between the eldest son and her.

After hearing this, Zhao Lanzhi blushed and said: "Then the third aunt should love me more!" The third lady smiled and said: "I love you, love you!"

Then there are relatives from all walks of life, and then there are young masters and girls of the same generation.

This time Zhao Lanzhi did not send needles and threads, showing the background of the Marquis of Wenchang Mansion. What was given to the uncles was a set of four treasures of the study that were hard to buy with money, and the gifts to the sisters-in-law were two internally made hairpin rings. I have to praise it!
After breakfast, the eldest and young lady wanted to serve the old lady, but the old lady hurriedly asked Susu to invite her to sit down, and said with a smile: "There is no such rule in our family. Your mother-in-law and two aunts have been here for almost 20 years. , I never asked them to serve you." After hearing this, the eldest lady, who wanted to be a mother-in-law, hurriedly asked her daughter-in-law to sit down.

When the eldest young lady sat down, the old lady said: "There are small kitchens in each yard of our house, and we don't eat together on weekdays. I only let your mother-in-law and the others come to say hello on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year. It's the same when you enter the door. If you're not busy, it's good to come and have a sit, or play with your younger sisters, and help me teach them."

The eldest young lady nodded one by one, her mother-in-law is not a good match, but also short-sighted, if she really wants to punish her daughter-in-law, she can only bear it!But today, after grandma turned her words around, even if she wanted her to set the rules, mother-in-law had to think about it.After all, she herself has never set rules in front of her mother-in-law!

Zhao Lanzhi now feels that if she can marry a person like Shizi and have such an enlightened and kind grandmother, it doesn't matter if her mother-in-law is not kind.

After the meal, the son and his daughter-in-law returned to Qingfengxuan, and the son asked all the maids in the house to retreat before he put his arms around his beautiful lady and said, "But it still hurts?" Zhao Lanzhi's face was blush again, he was so ashamed.

Seeing the prince, he giggled, but he didn't want to annoy Mei Jiao Niang, so he hurriedly changed the subject. "See what good things grandma gave you?"

Zhao Lanzhi smiled and said, "Grandma gave it to me, why did I show it to you?"

"Okay! Just after we got married, we split up with my husband. This is a bad rule!"

The two laughed and laughed for a while, and then they saw the meeting gift received today.

What the old lady gave was a pair of mutton fat jade Ruyi, although they are not as good as those given by saints, they are rare and precious.There is also a set of red face and a set of sapphire face.

The elder directly gave a silver ticket of 1 taels, and the elder lady gave a pair of jadeite bracelets, ice-colored violet, which were considered acceptable, but Song Qinghe also felt a little uncomfortable. When the elder sister got married, he Any of the bottom-of-the-box jewelry that my mother prepared is better than this one!

Zhao Lanzhi didn't know his psychology, and was secretly shocked by the generosity of the Song family. Fortunately, the things she prepared for her uncles and sisters-in-law were also valuable, so she didn't lose face!After a while, the old lady sent someone to send over the second master, which were two fiery red coral trees.The pair of gold-embedded hairpins given by the second lady who were upside down are dimmed

.

What the third master and his wife gave was a silver note of 5000 taels, which was straightforward.Song Qinghe said with a smile: "Third Uncle and Three Aunts are straightforward people, and they gave money directly, so they didn't treat you as an outsider!"

Zhao Lanzhi also said: "I also like Third Aunt's temperament"

I also looked at the gifts from my relatives, and they were all very valuable.

"Wait for me for a while!" After finishing speaking, Shizi left the main room, came to the study in the front yard, took two boxes, and then returned to the room.Give the box to my daughter-in-law.

"There are three houses in our family, and now the property is not divided. When we got married, the father gave 8 taels, the grandmother added 5 taels, and the father gave 10 taels. They were all used as dowry gifts. Among them One is my private house, and the other is another 5 taels from my grandmother in private, and [-] taels from my father. You should keep them all."

Zhao Lanzhi was surprised and delighted, she didn't expect Xianggong to value her so much, and handed over the private money as soon as he entered the door.

"You have to spend money when you go out, I just know what you want."

Song Qinghe said with a smile: "I'll take care of what you want with the money. You can keep it. Even if I inherit the noble title, before our house is separated, these are all of our net worth, except for the monthly case and the four seasons. Clothes and jewelry , the mansion will not give anything else. The Song family has always raised boys, and they have never been coddled." Zhao Lanzhi accepted it.

Afterwards, the son asked Qingfengxuan's servants to pay a visit to the young lady, and just as they were meeting here, the old lady and the third lady sent all the keys and ledgers from various places in the mansion, and asked the wives in charge to come and answer.

Although Zhao Lanzhi knew that the housekeeper had agreed upon entering the door, she didn't expect it to be so soon.

Song Qinghe said with a smile: "I'm sorry to bother you! Third aunt will return to Yangzhou with third uncle in a few days. Now that your grandmother is holding the battle for you, you should hurry up. Grandmother never likes to meddle in things. If you don't know anything, just go to it." Ask the third younger sister, fourth younger sister, and Susu in the grandmother’s yard. I just want to tell you that although Susu is still in our house, my grandmother has asked me to handle Susu’s withdrawal. If you want to be in our house, grandma can't do without her. Grandma decides her marriage, so don't treat her like an ordinary servant."

Zhao Lanzhi remembered how he gave Susu a badass yesterday, and felt embarrassed when he heard what his husband said.I also thought of the golden locket that people admired Susu, I didn't have the nerve to tell my husband, I just thought that it would be different when I saw you next time, but I was a little guilty, I nodded but didn't say anything!

The prince just treats Susu as a little lady and doesn't care about it, but he can't say anything. After all, Susu is indeed a maid, but he believes that his wife will not underestimate Susu after she understands Susu's character!
Thinking of Susu, I finally sighed in my heart, which man is not lustful, but I can't say it!Now that I have married a wife, I keep that trace of youthful admiration in my heart, and treat my wife well, so as not to tarnish that pure love!

Before lunch, people came to the palace. They were the eunuch Xuanzhi of Weiyang Palace and Huang Gonggong, the eunuch in charge of the concubine Xi. The third grade is ordered to enjoy the imperial salary.There is also the high-grade makeup of Mrs. Shizi.

What Huang Gonggong brought was the gift given to his nephew and daughter-in-law by the concubine Xi, and the grace of entering the palace for an audience after returning from the three dynasties.

Afterwards, the elder took the Xuanzhi eunuch to drink tea, and Eunuch Huang said, "Which one is Miss Susu?"

Susu who was standing behind the old lady was called out, "Susu has seen the father-in-law."

That Eunuch Huang is white and fat, in his 40s, and it is said that he has been the eunuch by his side since Concubine Xi first entered the Rong Palace, and his loyalty to Concubine Xi is beyond doubt.

Eunuch Huang was also taken aback when he saw Susu, but he saw many beauties in the palace, and he was a rootless eunuch, so he sighed: "No wonder the empress and the princess went back to the palace, thinking about it in their hearts, the people around the old lady It really is a good one!"

The old lady patted Susu's hand in secret, and said with a smile that she dared not take it.

Eunuch Huang pointed to another big box on the ground and said: "Miss Susu's incense is praised by the Holy Majesty and the noble lords in the palace. I heard that our empress and princess wanted to reward things, and the empress also gave something to the girl. .”

Susu hurriedly bowed three times in the direction of Weiyang Palace, "Thank you ladies for the rewards." The old lady also said: "It's your lords who are kind. The incense made by Susu is unique, but there is a difference between the incense recipe and the mold." If you don’t want to set it up, please trouble your father-in-law to bring it into the palace and present it to your empress!”

Eunuch Huang nodded, secretly sighing in his heart that his mother's intelligence must have followed Mrs. Song's.

The two father-in-laws left with a large sum of money and the set of fragrant incense molds, and the box containing the gift from the empress, the old lady directly asked someone to enter Susu's house.

The old lady caressed Susu's face in private and said: "Good boy, don't be afraid, with these things in the future, no one can underestimate you!"

Susu lay in the old lady's arms, tears wet her eyes, "There is an old lady, Susu is not afraid!"

The young lady (later called Mrs. Shizi) entered the door. For the Song family, there was no change on the surface, but secretly, their status in the capital was rising steadily.

Relatives are also going back to Yangzhou.The Song family has a wife who is the housekeeper of the eldest son, and the third wife is also very relieved. She has done her best during this time, but she is just hoping that the niece and daughter-in-law will take care of their daughter more!
As for the matter of the fifth girl, the anger of the third master after receiving the news has almost dissipated after so many days. After all, she is his own daughter, and the other children are all in the capital. How could it be possible that there are not many people who bring her back to Yangzhou alone? think.

In addition, both the second aunt and the third aunt left their children to be brought up by their grandmothers, so that outsiders would know that the granddaughter was still there, but the granddaughter was sent away instead, which is not good after all!
After the third master and the old lady had a careful chat, the fifth girl finally stayed.

And the fifth girl also swore and cursed, she only said that she was deceived by others, and the old lady looked at the face of the third master, so she couldn't say anything more, and finally let her stay.

Because two more granddaughters came, they lived with their grandmother. Fortunately, the East and West Wings were still vacant, so they asked the two cousins ​​to live in the East Wing, where they went to school and played with the sisters, which was harmonious.

The second aunt's wife brought her the youngest daughter, named Fangqing, who was the same age as the fifth girl, but different from the fifth girl who was delicate and weak. Concubine Xi is somewhat similar.Naturally, she has the appearance of a beauty, and her temperament is very gentle and generous.

The wife of the third aunt brought a son and a daughter. Her son, Zhao Yian, is 15 years old. He is a famous scholar. worry.That's why, regardless of the opposition of the mother-in-law at home, he insisted on sending the son to his natal family.The few nephews are all good, and they only look forward to their sons, and also learn from their cousins.

The cousin, Zhao Yishu, insisted on following. Although she was not her own grandmother, Mrs. Song loved them very much.Although they are not close and only see each other once a year, Zhao Yishu also likes her grandmother and several cousins ​​very much.

Zhao Yishu is only eight years old this year, a little younger than Miss Six, and she is spoiled at home.The third aunt's wife didn't want to take her to Beijing, but her crying made the third aunt's wife frown. Although she was reluctant to let her daughter leave her side, her daughter's manners were indeed inferior to those of the Song family, so she took her with her she.

This Miss Zhao Biao is a bit arrogant, but she is not unreasonable, she is very simple, she is good-looking, and has a sweet mouth, which is very popular with the old lady.

Although the relatives have all left, the Song family has two more cousin girls and a wife of the eldest son, and it is very lively.
