Passerby's daily life

Chapter 97 Visiting the Huang Family
The two sides greeted each other, but it took only a moment.

Afterwards, Susu was surrounded and sat on the soft sedan chair. Susu found that besides her, Nanny Zhou and Aunt Han both had sedan chairs to sit in. It could be seen that they were indeed decent servants in front of the master.

As for the fact that Cai Chong's family didn't have a sedan chair to sit on, Susu also knew one thing, one is that Cai Chong's family is young, and the other is that she is just the youngest companion of the Huang family's master, so she should not be too arrogant.So Cai Zhong's family followed Susu's sedan chair.

At this moment, I just whispered to Susu: "Slaves shouldn't talk too much, I'm afraid the girl will think too much. Huang's family has a family rule left by their ancestors. Only those who have no children at [-] can take concubines. Otherwise, no concubines and concubine children are allowed. On the surface, Aunt Han is the wife's dowry maid, but in private, she is the master's roommate."

There are still some things that she can't say alone, anyway, their master will never hide anything from Miss Susu, and will definitely tell her.

Su Su didn't know that there was some inside story this time, but she didn't expect that the Huang family still had this family rule. No wonder Grandpa Qiao was very satisfied with this marriage.Just looking at the behavior of the master of the Huang family, it is obvious that there are policies and countermeasures. It is estimated that even the ancestors of the Huang family who set this family rule did not know that this kind of operation can still be done.

Knowing that Mrs. Han is still the master of the Huang family, Susu thinks again, what is the meaning of this Mrs. Huang's calling a Tong Fang to come out to meet her?Did I think too much, or did I say that this Tongfang was Mrs. Huang's confidant, and the master and servant were "sisterly in love"?
Thinking of this, Susu felt a chill, and quickly shook her head to get rid of the image in her mind, maybe Mrs. Huang's family is such a first-class "virtuous person"!
Susu's upbringing naturally did not allow her to open the car curtain to look around, but fortunately, there was a Cai Chong's family next to her.

"After the second entrance is the inner courtyard. The yard of the uncle and the eldest grandmother is on the east side of the fourth entrance. It is called Yangzhitang. It is a small courtyard with two entrances. But now the eldest grandmother should be with the old lady. The old lady lives In Baishou Hall, in the middle of the third entrance of the house, it will be there after a short walk."

The Huang family has taken root in Tong County for more than 200 years. The ancestral house has been expanded again and again, so it is naturally not small. Although it is not as magnificent as the princely mansion, it is also gorgeously decorated and exquisitely carved.

The women carrying the sedan chair kept their feet steady and quickly entered the inner courtyard to stop the sedan chair. Cai Zhong's family raised the curtain of the sedan chair, and Susu got off the sedan chair with her hands.

Entering the Hanging Flower Gate, and passing through the hallway, you can see that the three sides of the courtyard are surrounded by Chaoshou verandah, and there are several golden osmanthus plants facing the wall in the east. There are already golden yellow flowers in less than September, and the flowers are fragrant. I don’t know who thought of it. Not to mention the osmanthus tree is surrounded by carved railings, there are also a few snow-white rabbits in it, which is interesting.

Su Suduo glanced at it twice, and Mother Zhou smiled and said, "This is raised by our old lady, and only Chang'e is missing. When she meets the girl, she should say that she even has Chang'e this time."

Susu looked at this scene and felt that the old lady of the Huang family was somewhat "childlike", but she didn't know what was going on inside?
Susu had something on her mind, so she didn't pay attention to the surrounding things, and went straight to the upper room.From a distance, I saw Huamei supporting Yangliu and looking around, Susu didn't care about other people, so she walked a few steps, and when she came to the front, Susu saw Yangliu who she hadn't seen for more than a month, she couldn't believe it, she almost shed tears, "How did you lose so much weight?"

Yang Liu’s previously round apple face has now turned into an awl face, and her fleshy hands have also become skinny. Susu’s first reaction is that it’s impossible, and her second reaction is that Yang Liu’s body must have a problem, and it’s definitely not as simple as just being pregnant. .

Susu was taken aback by her own thoughts. She didn't know why she had such an intuition, but this kind of thought was reflected in her mind and couldn't get rid of it. "Let's go and ask the old lady to ask her to call the imperial physician for you!"

Yang Liu didn't expect Su Su's face to change several times after seeing her just now, knowing that she was frightened by her current appearance, she said with a smile: "How can this be Miss Su Su who has not changed her face before Mount Tai collapsed! "

Susu supported Yang Liu, her beautiful eyebrows frowned, "I'm serious!" Yang Liu patted her hand secretly: "I have invited several doctors, and they all said that it is a normal reaction that pregnancy should have. It's just that I react more."

Susu didn't feel that she was making a fuss out of a molehill at all, but there were so many people at the moment, it was not easy to whisper to Yang Liu.

Yang Liu took Susu's hand and walked in, "Let's meet our old lady and wife first!" Susu restrained the anxious expression on her face, calmed down, and followed Yang Liu into the house.

Behind them, Mother Zhou and the others had been quietly listening to the two talking about the old days, and when they heard that Susu said that he would ask the old lady of the uncle's mansion to call the imperial physician for Susu, they all had different expressions.Especially Nanny Zhou and Aunt Han.

After hearing this, Mother Zhou realized that Miss Su was definitely not as simple as a maid. When she talked about inviting an imperial physician, she was a little too casual, as if it was not difficult to invite an imperial physician.

When Aunt Han heard this, she raised her eyebrows secretly, and a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, which was not as non-aggressive as she showed, but this expression was only for a moment, and she lowered her head again, but No one found out.

Entering the main room, it is divided into three bright areas and two dark areas. The middle room is the living room. When entering the door, there is a four-leaf screen of nanmu primrose-colored tapestry and glass. When you walk around the screen, you can see a red sandalwood carved cloud bat in the middle. On the Luohan couch, there is an old lady with gray hair but looking very energetic sitting on it.

This old lady is about 60 years old, her gray hair is pulled up, she wears a round bun, she wears emerald head, and she wears pea green flower border and silver-gray rose silk double-breasted skirt, revealing the ivory coat. Cross-collared, underneath is a gold satin skirt with brown and green cloud pattern embroidered with a horse-faced cotinus chinensis skirt, but Susu felt amused in her heart. Although this outfit looked rich, it was a bit too ostentatious.

At the head of the Luohan couch are two rows of twelve red sandalwood chairs, and in the middle of the two chairs is a small table of the same color. On the first position on the left is a person wearing a concubine-colored gold flower pattern trimmed with a tea-and-dark silk lapel, A white cross-neck jacket and a cinnabar-colored peony embroidered horse-face skirt underneath.

Sitting in this seat, it should be Yang Liu's mother-in-law - Mrs. Huang, logically, she should be about the same age as that Aunt Han, with only a sad look on her face, she is more than ten years old, what's the situation?

Susu glanced at Yangliu calmly, seeing her slightly shaking her head, Susu turned her gaze to the first seat on the right, there was a pretty girl, only fourteen or fifteen years old, with two jasper lotus flowers The hairpin is holding a cute and moving bun, a pink and purple small eight-treasure hanging thread gauze shirt on the upper body, a moon white gauze skirt embroidered with pine and bamboo on the ground, and a bean green palace sash tied around the waist.

I haven't heard that there is another girl in the Huang family. Who is this?
This scrutiny was only for a moment, but everyone saw Yang Liu pulling a young girl in. Just looking at the demeanor, they couldn't help but neglect them. Looking at the appearance, whether it was the master or the servants in the room, they were all the same. Taking a deep breath, it's no wonder that they have little knowledge, and now they know that there are people with such a mark in this world.

It wasn't until everyone came back to their senses that they saw Susu's attire clearly, and they didn't dare to underestimate them.

Although Susu came to Huang's house as a guest, it was different from going to Zhao's mother's house that day. She came to give Yang Liu a face today. Isn't there a saying in the world, "Respect the clothes first and then the people", so she is dressed up beautiful.

Susu is now wearing a formal lily bun, with a red gold bergamot headband inlaid with pearls in the middle, a gilt phoenix hairpin dotted with emerald beads on the left, and a few fingernail-sized roses carved from red coral on the right flower.

She wore a light purple cardigan embroidered with a clump of orchids on the upper body, paired with an apricot white pleated skirt with wishful cloud pattern piping, a goose yellow silk ribbon tied around the waist, and a light green purse hanging on the left On the right side hangs a jade tablet with suet white jade inlaid with red coral, butterfly and peony.

Yang Liu pulled Susu to the front, smiled and said: "Grandmother, this is Susu." Then he said to Susu: "This is my mother-in-law!" Seeing Susu sit in front of her, "I have lived most of my life, and now I know that there are people with such a symbol in the world."

Then he looked at Yang Liu and said with a smile: "He should have called your younger sister to come home a long time ago, no wonder the old lady of the uncle's house likes it, such a lovely person, who doesn't like it!" Said taking off a good one in his hand Susu's white jade bracelet was worn on Susu's wrist. When she saw a pair of glass kind of Fu Lu Shou three-color noble concubine bracelet on her wrist, her eyes paused, and her heart was filled with admiration.

Yang Liu pretended to be bitter and jealous, "I knew my sister came. Grandma doesn't like me anymore. I really can't thank you." When Yang Liu saw Susu, he felt much lighter. She regained her mischievous temperament, which made the old lady Huang nod her and said happily, "Grandmother likes you too, all of them, all of them."

Susu greeted Granny Yangliu again, and after a closer look, this Mrs. Huang must have been a beauty when she was young, but the sadness and wrinkles on her face now covered up this beauty.She also spoke in a soft voice, "Girl, just treat it as if you are at home, and don't see outsiders." After finishing speaking, she took off a red gold bracelet from her slender wrist and handed it to Susu. A flame bead the size of a longan is inlaid at the junction of the dragon and the phoenix, which is very precious.

The so-called flame pearls are modern conch pearls. Not to mention the ancient times when pearl picking was completely dependent on manpower, even in modern times, conch pearls are also unique and expensive organic gemstones. In order to get a usable pearl after removing the flesh.Therefore, a maximum of [-] to [-] conch pearls can be found each year.

Not to mention such a large and perfectly round conch pearl, which is a rare treasure.Even in ancient times, the value of conch pearls was not correctly recognized, and treasures are also treasures.

If it was in modern times, Susu wouldn't even dare to think about such things, but in this life, Susu has seen many in the old lady's private treasury. of.

"Auntie, it's too expensive!" Susu hurriedly wanted to refuse, but Mrs. Huang smiled lightly. After all, she had seen the world, so she was afraid that this was an ignorant person. "It's just a dead thing, it's not worth anything! The girl called me aunt, and I think it's a light greeting."

Although Mrs. Huang's smile was shallow, it was more real than before. Susu thought that the gift she gave was not bad. If she didn't accept it, it would look like she was coming to show off. come over.

After meeting with the elders, before Yang Liu could say anything, the girl sitting next to her stood up by herself, and said delicately: "I always heard about Susu from my cousin, and I finally met today. I just acted as a cousin." Sister-in-law's appearance is first-class, but after seeing Susu, I realized that I have long hair but short knowledge."

There is nothing wrong with these words at first glance, but who is Susu, an elite maid who has been in the mansion gate, the little girl's performance is still a bit tender, and for her, these words are really not euphemistic. Sow discord in the face of both sides?

Only then did Susu take a direct look at her. She was only pretty, even slightly inferior to the second-class maids in Suian Hall, but she had an air of pity for me.When Susu saw her, she felt a chill in her heart. Is it another "white lotus"?Is this style popular in ancient times?Or is she just the physique of "Bai Lian's mortal enemy"?In the past, five girls were not enough, but now as a guest, you can meet such a dramatist who adds drama to himself!That's enough.

Susu complained crazily in her heart, but her face was full of doubts, "What is this?" Yang Liu knew Susu quite well. Seeing Susu raised her eyebrows a little, she knew that Susu must be able to see through this "little flower." The essence of "white lotus".Secretly funny, he secretly hooked the corners of his mouth, but was caught by Susu.Yang Liu didn't hide her gloat at all, but she still restrained herself in front of others.

The old lady of the Huang family interjected: "This is my natal niece, named Wen Jun. You are about the same age as you, and you will play together more often in the future. The girl's etiquette and demeanor are all extraordinary. Help me teach this ignorant."

Susu met with this "cousin girl", and after hearing Mrs. Huang's words, she said with a smile: "Let's not say that Miss Wenjun has an extraordinary temperament, but if she wants to teach, the old lady has also found the wrong person. If No matter who has the best etiquette, it must be Sister Yangliu, back then our old lady took her with me wherever I went, not to mention the prince's mansion, even the imperial palace, and even the concubine Xi would praise her."

When everyone in the audience heard this, they were surprised that Susu didn't shy away from her and Yang Liu's backgrounds, and then they heard that she was not afraid of what others would say. The people they have met in the local area are people they dare not even think about. What does this mean? This means connections.Not to mention that behind them there is an old lady in Shun'anbo Mansion who is famous for doting on maidservants.

Mrs. Huang paused, and quickly smiled and said: "Isn't it? Miss Wenjun lowered her head, looking pitiful.

Yang Liu secretly sighed, this person is not afraid of being stupid, but he is afraid of not being able to see clearly, without any self-knowledge.Susu came, and she was not in the mood to deal with them here. She touched her belly lightly, and then heard her mother-in-law say: "I know that my mother met Miss Susu, and she likes it very much, but don't forget about our willows." , she is a great hero of our family, and she is pregnant with your great-grandson."

The old lady Huang then said: "Isn't that right? It can be seen that I am old and confused. Brother Bo's daughter-in-law, you are heavy, take Miss Su Su back to the yard to rest, and when dinner is coming, let's put it together. table, kiss each other well. Daughter-in-law, you are not in good health, go back too, and come back at night."

Mrs. Huang, Yang Liu, Susu and Mrs. Huang left, and all the people left Baishou Hall.
