Passerby's daily life

Chapter 69
In November, the temperature in the capital dropped sharply. Fortunately, the mansion had already made winter clothes.

But when it got colder, Concubine Xi rewarded her with a lot of clothes and jewelry, saying it was for her niece, niece and daughter-in-law.

On this day, the old lady gave the girls a half-day vacation, and called Mrs. Shizi, and asked them to choose what they liked. In addition to the ones rewarded by the empress, there were also those that the old lady asked Susu to pick out from the library. There are dozens of pieces of cloth on the table.

Mrs. Shizi brought her maid into the door, and saw girls like flowers all over the room, greeted the old lady, and said with a smile: "I only think that I have come to the legendary Yaochi, the room is full of fairies, almost Dazzling."

The fourth girl took Shizi's wife to sit down, and said: "People often say that it is not a family that does not belong to the same family, that we are fairies, and the elder sister-in-law is praising herself."

Seeing that their aunts and sisters-in-law were in harmony, the old lady was very happy, and said to the third girl: "Quickly hear, did these two come here after drinking honey water? Why are their mouths so sweet!"

The third girl really came close to the two of them and exaggeratedly sniffed it, and wondered: "How does grandma know? It really smells like sweet-scented osmanthus honey!"

Mrs. Shizi smiled and said: "I will not dare to steal my mouth in the future, so that Sanya's nose will reveal her stuffing as soon as she smells it. In the morning, she drank a cup of sweet-scented osmanthus dew given by her grandmother."

Because the clothes were cut for the girls and Mrs. Shizi, the new daughter-in-law, the cloth was naturally in various bright colors.

Because the visitors were guests, Biao Sun and Biao Zhao were asked to choose first. After some humility, Biao Sun picked out a peach-pink Shu brocade and a batch of sapphire brocade; Lotus-colored brocade, and a bolt of bright pink satin.

Afterwards, the elder and younger were ordered, and Mrs. Shizi was chosen first.She picked out a scarlet silk tapestry and a cherry red satin feather.

Next are the six girls in the family, and the seventh girl is the youngest, so she will choose first.

Although Seventh Miss was trained by the foster mother for two months, she was raised by the eldest lady for five years, and the eldest lady was the most stingy. Although for the sake of reputation, she was not treated as harshly as Fourth Miss, but it was not much better. As a result, he has developed a shallow-sighted personality, whether he sees this or that, he is simply dazzled.

It was still Mrs. Shizi who said with a smile: "Seventh sister is young, and she looks best in red. I think the golden satin with big red carp playing with lotus and this scarlet Sichuan brocade are good. I still have a few leathers. I will ask someone to give them to me later." Sister Seven will send it to you, it will definitely look good if you make a cloak with this Shu brocade!"

When Miss Seven heard that she could still get a few skins for nothing, she nodded quickly and said: "Sister-in-law chose well, then I will take these two horses! Xiao Qi first thank sister-in-law." The eldest young lady smiled and said nothing.

Then the sixth girl and the other five girls also chose the ones they liked, and the fifth girl chose the most pure moon white and light purple colors as usual, and the old lady just pretended not to see it.

Seeing that they were all picked out and there were still a few left, the old lady said: "Don't put them away either, the bright red feather satin is for Yangliu alone, and the rest, Susu, you can cut enough to make a coat or a pair later." The ruler of the skirt is given to the first-class maids in the house, and it should only be given by the empress of the palace."

Ning Cui was the most narrow-minded, seeing Yang Liu blushing, she pulled the old woman's sleeve and said: "The old woman only loves Yang Liu, not us." , and only for you." The shy Yang Liu couldn't do it, and wanted to tear Ning Cui's mouth.

Only then did Mrs. Shizi and the girls know that Yang Liu would be going home to get married in a few days.

The dowry that the old lady gave to Yang Liu was naturally not just a piece of satin. Ning Cui, to put it bluntly, was asking for rewards from the masters for Yang Liu.

Mrs. Shizi smiled and said: "Everyone around grandma is good. I haven't gotten close enough to Yang Liu here, she is going to go out! I will also add some makeup later." Yang Liuhong thanked Mrs. Shizi.

The girls also ordered the maids around them to go back and prepare some things to add makeup to Yang Liu.

Miss Six said: "No wonder my mother came here this time and prepared a big box for Sister Yangliu, and said that Sister Bisi's additions were also in it. It turns out that Sister Yangliu is getting married." Then she sighed: " Another pearl is about to become a fish's eye." It made others laugh and speechless after hearing this.

The eldest young lady has also seen a bit of the weirdness of this sister-in-law these days, and she only sighed that if he was a man, he must be a romantic and affectionate kind, but he is a girl, which makes people laugh and get angry.

The old lady also felt that she was cast in the wrong place for this granddaughter, and she laughed and scolded: "I think you want to copy books again! What kind of pearl fish eyes, if you talk nonsense, I won't punish you."

Miss Six giggled, "Pearls are beautiful, fish-eye beads are delicious, both are good!"

After having lunch together, the crowd dispersed.In the main room of Suian Hall, there were only four maidservants and Nanny Qin to accompany the old lady.

After moving to Dongnuange, the old lady said: "Later, Yang Liu has gone home. Although it is only in the back street, but she has an engagement and needs to embroider the dowry at home. After all, it is not good to go out again. I will pay the money tomorrow. You hug Xia Bei to two tables of banquets, and ask some of you to make good friends, which is also considered farewell."

Yang Liu's eyes turned red when she heard this, and the old lady sighed: "You have been with me since you were young, and Bisi didn't come with me in Yangzhou, but I heard from your third wife that you are doing well. I'm also relieved! Yang Liu married in Tongzhou, only twenty miles away from the capital. If you miss us, come back and have a look. If there is any grievance, don't hold back. Although the family you married is an only child, there are no uncles or brothers in the family. No, there are still mother-in-law and grand-in-law here, and everything will be done with care."

Yang Liu nodded, choked with sobs and said, "Don't worry, old lady, I will definitely not embarrass you."

The old lady patted her, "Stop crying, I don't like these sad things the most."

Susu also hurriedly said: "Sister, don't worry, I won't let you in when you come home, just don't let the girl who is married off splash the water, my sister just forgot which way the door of Suian Hall is open." .”

Yang Liu burst into tears and laughed, "Stinky girl, sometimes I laugh at you."

Crying and laughing, it was the day when Yangliu left the mansion, and the masters of each house gave things to add makeup, even the eldest lady and the second lady rewarded 100 taels of silver and two golden hairpins for their face.The two cousins ​​also gave a lot of things, plus the gifts from the familiar maids and women, the old lady's and Yang Liu's own cages, there are also twenty or thirty large mahogany boxes.

What the old lady gave to Bisi was the same on the surface, but the bank note in private was 3000 taels. In addition, Ning Cui's parents were also looking for her, so the old lady simply gave her 3000 taels first. Two, anyway, she will be leaving the house soon.

Susu, Ning Cui and Yun Duo added makeup to Yang Liu. Yun Duo is not as rich as Su Su Ning Cui, but it is very respectable to have Mother Qin's support.

Because Yangliu's house is in the back street, Susu and the others can go to her house at any time when they are on vacation, and they feel sad when they go to Bisi's house.

When Yangliu returned home, Suian Tang promoted the second-class maid Mingxiang to be the first-class maid, and filled the vacancies of the second-class and third-class maids.Except that the old lady called Yang Liu a few times from time to time, and then remembered that Yang Liu had gone home, there was no difference.
