Passerby's daily life

Chapter 71 Visiting the Zhao Family
From Mrs. Qi, Susu learned that the Fourth Ring Road of the capital is different from the Second Ring Road and the Third Ring Road. Most of them are civilians who have lived here for generations. Expensive and cheap.

Anyefang is located in the northeast corner of the Fourth Ring Road, not far from the North Gate and East Gate.There are four alleys in the square, and most of the people who live there are people who have a little money but are engaged in cheap jobs, like matchmakers, matchmakers, etc.!

"Grandma Zhao is quite well-known among the Ya people in the capital, and her reputation is especially good among wealthy families. One is because her maids must have a clean family background and have not been stolen; the other is that her maids have all passed through Basic training, you can work without much instruction when you buy it back; the third is that Mrs. Zhao never sells people to dirty places." Mrs. Qi paused, seeing Susu's interest, and said: "There is an old saying in the capital that cars and boats If you are innocent, you should be killed. Granny Zhao is a rare person with a conscience."

The two little maids were more courageous at this time, pestering Mrs. Qi to ask what that old Beijing saying meant, the carriage stopped amidst the laughter.

The simple and honest voice of Mrs. Qi's head outside said: "Girl, we're here!"

The two women got out of the car first, and then two maidservants waited for Susu to put on the cap, and then helped Susu get out of the car.

Susu saw the black-painted wooden door at a glance. She came and went in a hurry, but she only remembered these two wooden doors. They overlapped with the scene seven years ago, and Susu instantly felt that things were different.

Mrs. Liu stepped forward to call the door, and the person who opened the door was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy wearing a blue cotton padded jacket. He looked at Mrs. Qi and everyone from Su and Su, then at the rich red-painted carriage, and asked, "Auntie, what are you doing?" Looking for someone!"

Mrs. Liu looked at Xiaosi who was rolling her eyes with some dissatisfaction, but her smile remained unchanged, and she said, "Is the master here? Our girl's surname is Su, and I'm here to visit Mrs. Zhao. Let me know."

It was the first time for that young man to see Baitie, and to be able to work as a concierge, he had some discernment. The woman who knocked on the door was wearing silk and satin, not to mention the girl behind her.

Knowing that the visitor is extraordinary, he did not dare to delay, "Please wait a moment, my honored guest, I will pass on the message right away." After speaking, he called another young man to guard the door, and ran quickly into the yard by himself.

After a while, the two black lacquered doors opened wide, and Zhao's mother came out with her maid, and the servant who delivered the message was secretly relieved, fortunately, he did not neglect the guests.

Mother Zhao's eyes were red when she saw Susu. Although she couldn't see Susu's complexion, she could tell that she was doing well by looking at her demeanor!

Susu was also very emotional when she saw Mama Zhao, and just as she was about to salute, she was supported by Mama Zhao: "Good girl, why are you being polite with Mama, I have heard that Mrs. Song has returned to Beijing, and I have always wanted to visit , I'm afraid of being abrupt!"

Susu held Mother Zhao's arm, "I wanted to visit my mother for a long time, but the family is very busy, so I only have time to come today. Mom, don't blame me."

Zhao's mother smiled and said: "No, no, let's go, quickly enter the house, your sister Qiuyun is in confinement, so it's not easy to come out to meet you, don't mind."

Su Su said: "Sister Qiuyun is giving birth again? I brought some donkey-hide gelatin bird's nest, it seems that I have the foresight. Will I have a nephew or a niece?"

Mother Zhao's face was full of joy, "He's a fat kid again."

Entering the second courtyard, it is divided into two small courtyards by a flower wall, "Your uncle and I live on the left, and your sister Qiuyun and brother-in-law live on the right."

Speaking of which, Mother Zhao asked someone to take the maid, woman, and coachman who came with Susu down to drink tea, and then brought Susu to the courtyard on the right.

"Your uncle and brother-in-law went to the field to collect rent. I'm afraid we won't be able to see you today. Your sister Qiuyun has long wanted to see you. She doesn't know your identity, so don't miss it, girl."

This has too much to do with it, except for Zhao's mother who knows it herself, she hasn't said a word about her husband's daughter.

Susu whispered: "Mom's great kindness, Susu will never forget it."

Mother Zhao quickly waved her hands, "Girl, don't mention it, live a good life in the future, and I will forget about it."

The small courtyard on the right has three main rooms and six wing rooms, which are connected to the courtyard on the left by a moon gate. The little maid in the courtyard is washing clothes and sweeping. She greeted Zhao’s mother and said, “I’ve seen my wife.” Zhao’s mother waved her hand and led Su Su into the courtyard. Main house.

Because it was confinement, the house was tightly sealed, with the flower hall in front, and the bedroom bypassing the partition, with a kang, a bed, and a complete set of mahogany furniture.

A woman in her 20s was half leaning on the bed, she simply wore a bun and inserted a jade hairpin. She wasn't exactly beautiful, but she was also a pretty lady. When she saw Mother Zhao and Su Su coming in, she just smiled, "But here you go, this is Sister Susu, right? Chang Tingniang said I'll see you only today!"

Susu took off her cap and gave a blessing, "I've seen Sister Qiuyun."

Except for Zhao's mother, Qiu Yun and the maid who served in the room all took a breath and held their breath, as if they were afraid of disturbing the beauty in front of them.

After a while, Qiuyun came back to her senses. She couldn't get out of bed, so she took Susu's hand and let her sit by the bed.

"Today I have really seen what it means to be a fairy descending to earth! Every time my mother talks about my sister, she is always good-natured and affectionate. But I never said that my sister is so good-looking. No wonder the old lady of the uncle's house likes it. I really like it!"

Mother Zhao said with a smile: "You talk too much today. Your sister didn't even drink tea when she came in. Is this the way of hospitality?"

Qiu Yun said: "Mother, you can't blame me for this. When I saw my sister, I was full of her in my mouth and heart. Don't be surprised if I neglected my sister." While talking, he hurriedly asked people to serve tea!
Susu smiled and said, "Why are you so polite. What about the nephews? My sister is so lucky."

Qiu Yun said: "Brother Yuan is your eldest nephew, he went to the field with his grandfather arguing, and he left early. Brother Ming is also the younger one, and he is asleep." Then he asked someone to carry Brother Ming over.The little guy was sleeping soundly, his little face was fair and supple, chubby.

"It weighs eight catties at birth, but it's really a toss-up. Who knows, it's an honest person. When I'm hungry, I urinate twice. It's more worry-free than Brother Yuan when he was a child." Zhao's mother squinted her eyes when she looked at her grandson and smiled. Woke up.

Susu took off the jade pendant that she carried with her, "I didn't know that my sister gave birth to a second nephew. I will give this to Brother Ming first, and I will make up for Brother Yuan later. I am afraid that I will not be able to come for Brother Ming's full moon gift." .”

Qiuyun hurriedly wanted to refuse, but the jade pendant knew immediately that it was not ordinary.

Susu smiled and said, "Good sister! I'm here for my nephew, not for you." Mother Zhao also knew that Susu was in the Song Mansion, and these things were not worth anything. Seeing Susu's sincerity, she let Qiu Cloud took it.

Susu talked with Qiuyun for a while, and then Madam Zhao took Susu back to the courtyard on the left, and after the maids had finished their refreshments, and asked everyone to leave, Mama Zhao said, "Miss, have you contacted Young Master Jue? "

Susu shook her head, "Now that I am in the mansion, although the old lady likes me, I must pay special attention to my words and deeds. How dare I contact my brother! I think I will go to Hami to find my brother when I leave the mansion."

Zhao's mother looked at Susu helplessly, "My good girl, I'm going to give up this idea..." (to be continued)
