Passerby's daily life

Chapter 72

Zhao's mother persuaded Su Su to give up the idea of ​​going to the northwest, saying: "Let's not say that when you left the mansion, the old lady must have found a good marriage for you, even if my uncle agreed with you to go to Hami, how could you just go? If you don't get married, with your appearance, how can Mrs. Song and I feel at ease when you are so far away? At that time, if Mrs. Song finds out that your background is inappropriate, tell her how to treat you. Looking at your clothes, you can tell that Mrs. Song must dote on you very much."

Su Su was stunned when she heard this. What Zhao's mother said was what she tried her best to avoid but could not avoid.

Seeing that Susu didn't speak, Zhao's mother sighed and said, "Girl, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain. There are still four or five years before you leave the house. There will always be a way."

Susu also knew that she was too forceful, so she adjusted her mentality and said with a smile: "Tell my mother a happy event, the old lady gave me my citizenship, and now I am a good one. The old lady also rewarded Tongzhou with two hundred Acres of land."

After hearing this, Zhao's mother recited "Amitabha" and said: "The old lady is really a benevolent person. Aunt Su should be relieved under the nine springs."

There were tears in Su Su's eyes. Although she had no feelings for Aunt Su, it was because of her legacy that Mother Zhao changed her identity for her.

Since he took over her daughter's body, the annual paper money offering is also a share for Suhe's family of three, and a share for the original owner's parents.Now that she's back in Beijing, she doesn't even dare to offer incense in front of her aunt's grave, for fear of revealing her identity, how could she not feel sad?
Zhao's mother left a meal at noon, Susu ate, said goodbye to Zhao's mother and sister Qiuyun, and then took the carriage back to Shun'anbo Mansion.

Because they still had to go to Yangliu's house, the carriage stopped directly at the back street of Shun'anbo Mansion.

Yang Liu, who heard Xin'er, came out to welcome her, and she didn't let go of Susu's hand. The two hadn't seen each other for half a month. We've never been apart for such a long time. "Smelly girl, come to see me now."

Su Su gave her a white look, turned her head and said to the coachman and maidservant who were coming, "Please, I will invite my aunt and sisters to drink later. You go back to the house first, and I will go back later."

Yang Liu secretly squeezed Susu, "What's the matter with staying for one night, you haven't had much vacation, I don't believe the old lady didn't tell you to stay for two more days." Are you annoying?" After dismissing the maid who came with her, the two walked towards the yard talking and laughing.

The Qiao family is the son of the family who has been serving the master since the old man, and the housekeeper Qiao followed the old man and the old lady back then.

Yangliu's father, the butler Joe, is the uncle's personal entourage, and he will be another butler Qiao in the future.

Younger brother Yangliu is the son's personal servant, and he will take over from his grandfather and father in the future.

Yang Liuniang was in charge of the kitchen in the old man's outer courtyard, Second Uncle Yangliu was in charge of the Song family's business in the capital, and Second Aunt was in charge of the small kitchen where the young masters ate.

This big family is equivalent to the status of Lai Momo's family in "A Dream of Red Mansions".It's just that the master of the Song family is not as confused as the Jia family, and the Qiao family is not as naive as the Lai family.Although there are fields, villages, and houses outside, they are all rewarded by the master, and they are fair and upright!

The house in the back street is a courtyard with three entrances. Because there is no separation, the two families live together, and they are divided into East Road, West Road, and Middle Road. Yangliu's house is on the East Road.If the price is negotiated, this house will be worth at least three or four thousand taels of silver, which shows how much the master values ​​it!
Now, except for Yangliu, the Qiao family are all working in the mansion, so they are very quiet.

After entering the inner courtyard, Yang Liu directly led Susu to her room, ordered the little girl to serve tea, and told everyone to go down, then said: "If you don't come to see me, I will go to the mansion to see you, leave After staying in the house for half a month, it feels like I have been away for half a year. I used to come home like a guest, but now I am not used to it."

After hearing this, Susu gave her a blank look again, "How sad it must be for Uncle and Aunt Qiao to hear this! You are not used to being served by maidservants after you go home?"

Yang Liu giggled, "Except for you, I never told anyone else this."

Yang Liu saw that Susu had taken off the cloak of lotus-green squirrel, and was wearing a honey-coloured jacket and light yellow cotton skirt, with only two or three hairpin rings on her head, she couldn't help saying: "The new winter clothes made by the mansion." , Even I, who is out of the mansion, are sent by people. What's the matter with you, the most favored? The old lady has said that you don't have to be so shy, is there anyone who dares to make irresponsible remarks? If so, You might as well go out of the house, anyway, you're also out of your citizenship!"

Susu was both moved and funny, and said: "I'm about to get married, why am I still the temper of the gunner? What's wrong with my attire, I have to be well-dressed to be favored? I think you are the one who is being favored. The old lady is so used to not being able to see the facts clearly. No matter how much I am favored, I am still just a servant girl, and I cannot be proud of being favored. Besides, the squirrel's cloak and official silk clothes are not necessarily the daughter of a middle-class family. There are several clothes, so it’s not decent! I went to Zhao’s mother’s house before, and if you dress too much, it’s not a visit, but a show! On weekdays, you are the best dressed among the four of us, and the future brother-in-law’s house I heard that it is also a family that accumulates wealth, and there are also mountains of gold and silver. But the old lady has warned you a long time ago that a girl who has not left the court is different from a daughter-in-law! No matter how rich your brother-in-law’s family is, it is just a landlord’s family. The clothes you wear Dai, his family has money and nowhere to buy, just one or two, it proves that the old lady and the family love you, more will be enough."

Yang Liu was so ashamed that she couldn't speak. Susu saw that the heat was almost ready, so she took her hand and said, "My good sister, I'm a bit harsh, don't worry about it. I only treat you as the one who has been in love for so many years. It was my sister who said it!"

Yang Liu's eyes turned red, but she still gave her a blank look, "I'm just telling you, you can pay me back when you have a carload." Then she said seriously: "I don't care about your serious words, I just think, I'm so glad to have you Such a heart and soul. I'm not fascinated by wealth, but I don't know what life outside the mansion is like! My mother also told me something about the Huang family. I don't want to think about it anymore, I feel inferior! I heard that the Huang family is also a family heirloom for a hundred years, and it has been passed down for several generations. Although few in the family are well-educated, they are also well-known landlords in Tongzhou. Born as a maid? My mother said that the old man of his family and my grandfather were rescued, and they would walk around on weekdays. When they heard that the family had entered Beijing, they thought about getting married."

Susu smiled, "Why should my sister be ashamed? In terms of character, appearance, and knowledge, my sister is so bad. Most of the homes in Suian Hall are run by my sister, and I have even been to the palace. I am afraid that I can't control it." What a country landlord's family? If you say that the poor are nothing more than maids, but these maids are also divided into three or six grades. The maids from the noble family's mansion are very sought-after. Don't talk about others, only we know, which sister Didn’t the old lady make good arrangements? There is a saying that ‘it is better to marry a maidservant than a girl from a small family’. In terms of connections alone, ten Tongzhou landlords are not as good as Grandpa Qiao alone. There is a lump, do you think that people are going to get into this mansion through the Qiao family?"

Yang Liu showed an expression of "how come you know everything"...
