Passerby's daily life

Chapter 74 Dress Up
Winter nights are always very long, it gets dark early and bright late.

When Su Su woke up, there were already people walking in the yard, Mrs. Tang in the quilt had long lost the temperature, and the brazier in the room was burned down to ashes, and the whole room was very cool!
Fortunately, Susu is not only covered with a thick mattress, but also covered with two quilts, so she won't be frozen!

Feeling the darkness, she got out of bed, found the squirrel jacket she usually wears from the clothes rack beside her and put it on. After Susu got used to the darkness, she walked around the screen and lit the candles on the kang table under the window. The room was instantly bright. Put on the glass lampshade, and take a look at the gold pocket watch on the kang table. It is a few minutes to five.

Susu, who hasn't slept late since time travel, has long been used to this time. She picked up the candlestick and put it on the square table in the middle of the room. , a bird's nest soaked in hair and picked up in a small porcelain cup.

Susu sat on the matching rosewood stool, lit the small red clay stove, put small silver Choshi in it, poured the bird's nest into it, and used a silver spoon to put three or four high-quality rock sugar into it from the porcelain pot next to it. Don't worry about it if you boil it in Yinchoshi!

Pulling back the thick curtains, there are ice flowers forming on the glass of the window, which is hard to see in the south, and Susu misses it very much!And the light in the room just came through the window.

A long-awaited servant girl knocked on the door, "Miss is awake, do you need hot water now? It snowed last night, and now the ground is covered with a thick layer, you should wear more!"

Susu hurriedly opened the door and lifted the plywood cotton curtain, and saw that it was really white outside.

For fear of disturbing the master's rest, the snow has not been swept yet, and many maids from the south who have never seen it before are watching curiously in the yard.

Susu was shivering from the cold, and hurriedly said to the rough woman: "Please, Aunt Qi!" Qi said with a smile, "Come into the house, girl, I'll bring you the hot water!" Carrying the wooden bucket filled with hot water into the house, and carrying out the toilet placed in the corner, these are all routines and don’t need to be ordered!

While Susu was washing her face and brushing her teeth, the bird's nest with rock sugar in Yinchoshi was almost ready, and she poured it into a small bowl of sweet white porcelain, just like that bowl, Susu went behind the screen to change clothes.

Because I was going to Prince Gong's mansion today, I wore a new set of clothes, combed a small Liuyun bun in front of the dressing table, fixed it with a gold headband inlaid with pearls, and put on a set of golden silk inlaid with red coral. The jewels are as bright red as blood coral carved into bats of different sizes and shapes, two hairpins holding longevity, a pair of earrings of manta ganoderma lucidum, a gold ring inlaid with big soybean bats, and a string engraved with Coral bead bracelet with flowing cloud and bat pattern!
This set of jewelry was given to Susu by the old lady on her 13th birthday last year. The workmanship is exquisite and the materials are precious. What is rare is that the old lady asked her jewelry shop to buy it specially for Susu. The picture looks like Susu herself Drawn, nothing exactly the same!
Congratulations, this is the first time to wear a complete set, and it complements Su Suxue's skin and icy skin even more!
With this outfit, the bird’s nest with rock sugar can also be eaten, and the warm bird’s nest poured into her stomach, and Su Su let out a sigh of relief. It’s so comfortable to eat something warm when she wakes up in the cold weather!
Susu is weak from the womb. Fortunately, she entered the Song Mansion and met the old lady. A maid also raised ginseng and bird's nest all day long. You must know that Su Su was a concubine in the Liguo Mansion. Even if the Duke's wife takes care of her, she doesn't have the treatment of bird's nest all day long. Susu really wants to repay the old lady's kindness to her with all her heart and soul.

Putting the porcelain bowl of Yinchozi back in place, extinguishing the charcoal fire in the small red clay stove, Susu hung the pocket watch on the skirt of her clothes, and saw that there was still a quarter of an hour at six o'clock. Door!

Susu didn't go directly to the main room, but went to the warehouse in the backyard first.It was late yesterday, so I didn't prepare the few things that the old lady said first. The honey citron tea and plum blossom fragrance are easy to find, and they are placed in the tea room. The dim sum has been told to the small kitchen yesterday, but the four velvets are going to be opened in the inner warehouse. , Fortunately, it has just been stored in the warehouse, and it is placed outside, so there is no need to rummage through the box!
This velvet is a luxury item exclusively used by the French royal family, and it is also a tribute from the great Chu Jinshang. However, with the prosperity of overseas trade, many previous tributes also flowed into the wealthy families.

A few days ago, there were also two horses of velvet in the gift from the empress in the womb. Susu thought it was not as good as the one brought back by the Song family's own fleet.The old lady was never stingy with these things to the people below. Susu herself got several pieces of velvet of various colors, bundles of doraemon and several rolls of lace and yarn.

Susu opened several camphorwood boxes filled with velvet, thought for a while, and picked out a red one, a dark green one, an indigo one, and an emerald green one. up!
As soon as Su Su made the choice, Wu Tong and Ning Xiang came in holding hands, "Why did sister come to Curry so early, isn't she going to Prince Gong's Mansion today?"

Susu nodded, "The old lady ordered to bring four bolts of velvet. You came just in time. Ning Xiang went to write down a sum on the account. This is a gift for Prince Gong's mansion. Wu Tong went to call two maidservants over, and I took these Get the four horses to the main house!"

After listening to the order, the two hurried to do their own things. Ning Xiang wrote down the account books, Wu Tong called Qing Zhu and Chun Feng, and Su Su took a look at the four smiling little maids, pinch me and I push you. Thinking of the four of him and Yang Liu Ning Cui Bisi when he first entered the mansion, he pretended to be serious and said: "Stop making trouble, I think it's because sister Yang Liu is not here, so you guys are having fun, and someday I will give you a tight grip!"

The four little girls were not afraid of Susu at all. After hearing this, Chunfeng smiled and said: "Only being naughty in front of my sister, we don't do that outside!" The other three nodded at the same time, so cute!Susu couldn't help laughing and said: "It's shameful to be cute! Well, each of you will hold a horse and follow me to the main room!"

When Susu arrived at the main room, the old lady had finished washing and washing, and she was watching Yun Duo and Ming Yu picking out the clothes and jewelry for today. When Susu came in, she heard the old lady say: "I'm not going out today, just pick something for home wear Just pick up a hairpin and wear it as jewelry. It snowed last night, and the red plums are more beautiful after the snow. After a while, Yun Duo will go to the garden and cut two red plums to send to your godmother, she loves this the most!"

Seeing Susu coming in, her little face was red from the cold, the old lady frowned and said distressedly: "It's so cold today, why didn't you bring a hand stove?" Seeing that she was followed by four little girls holding velvet, their faces were also red. Yes, quickly let them put down their things and let them go east to warm up.

Susu took off her cloak and said: "It's freezing everywhere, it's not too cold now, as the saying goes, it's not cold when it's snowing, it's only when the snow melts!" A piece of velvet, seeing her nodding in satisfaction, asked someone to wrap it up!
Susu found honey citron tea and plum blossom dew and packed them in a wooden box. The old lady was also dressed properly, watching Susu busy and talking to Ning Cui, "Everyone said I favored her, you How can people not favor such a person who is considerate and considerate in everything!" Hearing this, Ning Cui felt honored, while Yun Duo and Ming Yu were more envious.

As for jealousy, when someone is so superior to you that there is no way to compare, you have no position to be jealous at all, and Susu is such an existence that crushes all the maids and makes people unenviable!
Because she was going to Prince Gong's mansion, Susu was wearing clothes newly purchased this winter. The difference from previous years is that this winter's clothes are not the old maids' clothes, but according to the old lady's orders, which are slightly inferior to the girls. The first-class ones are custom-made, and the old lady gave them privately, which is almost the same as the girls' quotas!

Inside this Susu is a small jacket with a begonia red stand-up collar, under which is an ivory pleated skirt woven with dark moiré gold thread and embroidered with begonia hems, and over a silver and white embroidered begonia pattern with collar and lotus-colored silver thread The two-breasted round-neck pantyhose in camel hair with dark pattern feather satin weaving Liuyun Baiba has an emerald green palace sash hanging down, a purse embroidered with silver and white bats and a red jade pendant engraved with Liuyun Baifu.

Looking closely at the jewelry they are wearing, they are all exquisite. Even the maids who are used to seeing Susu's good looks and have immunity can't help but take a breath. Such maids are in front of them. I'm afraid it will be difficult to fall into the eyes of the old lady!
Seeing Susu's outfit, the old lady liked Susu's outfit more and more, and said: "This outfit matches your jewelry set, it looks good." Susu said triumphantly: "A person looks good, and he can wear anything. nice!"

Even the old lady and Ning Cui, who often see Su Su playing tricks, were also defeated by this thick-skinned sentence. Looking at her exaggerated smug expression, they really couldn't laugh or cry. Yun Duo and Ming Yu had never seen anyone who praised themselves so much. The two looked at each other, Ning Cui almost lost his temper from laughing at that stupid look, the old lady pinched Susu's little face with her doting face: "Whose girl is so thick-skinned!"

At this moment, a little servant girl reported, "Mrs. Shizi and the girls are here!" I have never been rude in front of Mrs. Shizi!

Zhao Lanzhi brought a few sisters-in-law into the Suian Hall, bowed her eyebrows and greeted her grandmother respectfully but affectionately. When she looked up, she saw the fresh and beautiful Susu beside the old lady. She couldn't help but pause for a few seconds. It took a while for the third girl to pull her sleeves before she came back to her senses, took a deep breath, took Susu's hand and smiled at the old lady: "My granddaughter-in-law is rude, don't be offended by grandma, she knows it on weekdays." Susu looks good, with this outfit, I am only a fairy, I was dazzled when I saw my sisters before, but now I can’t keep my eyes open!"

The sixth girl smiled and also stepped forward to hold Susu's hand, "How can I say that sister Susu and I have a good understanding, and the jewelry we wear is all made together!"

The sixth girl is wearing a set of red gold jewelry inlaid with gemstones and diamonds in the style of magpies climbing plums. A thin money chain, a pair of earrings with magpies holding plum blossoms, a pair of bracelets with magpies playing with plum blossoms and a small plum branch ring.

The designer of this set of jewelry is also Susu. At that time, the sixth girl saw the jewelry that Susu designed for herself and liked it very much. This set of jewelry was later made by the third wife in Yinlou, and the finished product was even more beautiful than the design drawings. At that time, Aunt Gao made a lot of bitter remarks.

In the past, the sixth girl was afraid of the sisterhood with the fifth girl, even if she liked it, she seldom wore it out. Now that she has a full set of upper body, everyone agrees when they see it, even the fifth girl is no exception. The sixth girl has long ignored her moaning, and now talking about sisterhood is purely like a joke!

The jewelry designed by Susu is specially suitable for girls in the boudoir. Not to mention small and exquisite, it is rare and novel!Let’s talk about this set of jewellery, a pair of small hairpins, each no bigger than a lychee, are made of gold to form plum blossom branches, on which there are nine plum blossoms of different shapes and sizes of soybean rubies, and a sesame seed-sized plum blossom is embedded in the middle of each plum blossom. A pair of three-dimensional magpies carved from obsidian stood in pairs on the golden branches, and the two pairs of small eyes were also inlaid with diamonds, which looked lifelike.

The forehead chain is a bit simple, a fingernail-sized ruby ​​magpie hangs on the thin gold chain, and the eyes the size of sesame seeds are inlaid with obsidian.

The earrings are fingernail-sized gold magpies with a red plum blossom in their mouths. The bracelet is engraved with three pairs of magpies, each with a ruby ​​petal and a diamond stamen embedded in the middle of the bracelet. .

The ring was not inlaid with precious stones, but was made of old plum branches made of gold, and then bent into a ring. It looked like a gold ring, but the inner ring was engraved with the word "Wan" in the boudoir name of Miss Six.

The sisters have already praised this set of jewelry before, and looking at what Susu is wearing, although it is not as luxurious as the ones worn by the girls, it is indeed unique.

In terms of the eyes of the girls, even Zhao Lanzhi, who came from the aristocratic Hou's mansion, could not compare to the second aunt's grandson girl. "It seems that this workmanship should be the craftsmanship of Tiangongge, only his family can cut gemstones and diamonds so perfectly! But the most special thing is the person who designed the jewelry!"

After finishing speaking, Sun Fangqing looked at Susu with admiration and amazement: "Even the jewelry in my house is not as unique as this one. You say how long your head is, and you can borrow all these ideas from me!"

Miss Zhao Biao of the third aunt's wife's house was also very jealous. Susu laughed softly after hearing this: "Maybe there are no other servants, but there are some weird ideas. If the two cousins ​​don't dislike it, please tell me later." It’s not difficult to draw a few pictures of anything you like.” Zhao Yishu was so happy, she lay in the old lady’s arms and said: “Grandma, when I go home without my grandmother and sisters loving me, what can I do? Live!"

The old lady gave her a funny look: "Like your sixth cousin, she is out of tune! I will go to Prince Gong's mansion in a while, and it is you who are going out as a guest in the capital this time, so you can't be like this! Follow your fourth cousin, but don't let me go!" Shout out to your sixth cousin!"

Miss Six giggled beside her, but she didn't care!

Because the second girl is about to get married, the third girl has also changed her post. This time, the fourth girl, the fifth girl, the sixth girl, two cousins ​​and Susu are going out this time. The old lady felt sorry for Susu, so she asked Ming Yu, the second-class maid in her room, to follow her to serve her.

This Ming Yu is the son of a family in the mansion, and he is the most cautious and considerate person. He only waited for Ning Cui to leave the mansion, and he raised her. This time, he took her there to let her see the rules of the big family in the capital!
