Chapter 008: The Su Clan
Yangzhou Su clan so far, the clan has grown to thousands of people, the position of the patriarch has been held by the branch of the clan, Jin Nian this branch has been regarded as a side branch of the five suits, but because Jin Nian's late grandfather Su Lao Tai is a powerful one, once the official worship of the household department and the prince Taibao at that time.
After the eldest lord and Jin Nian's father took the fame, the three jinshi of the Su family in Yangzhou were even more full of flowers, so the old lady had an independent mansion in the Su family, but the big sacrifice in the clan was still together.
Although the old lady Su has been dead for nearly ten years, Su Youlin, the eldest lord of Su Mansion, is currently the political envoy of Hu Guangbu, and the official of the second rank of the feudal territory is still the highest official price in the Su family in Yangzhou.
Although the mansion has been independent, the Su Mansion has always followed and abided by the clan rules, such as: Su women are not allowed to be concubines, they cannot marry and return to the clan, and the daughter-in-law they marry cannot remarry...... And so on and so forth.
In his previous life, because of the family rule that he could not be a concubine, Jin Nian was not carried to Lu Shaoheng as a concubine, but was secretly sent to Zhuangzi by his father.
Although these family rules are not close to people, they have won a good reputation for the Yangzhou Su family, and they are among the top five families in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.
Jin Nian knew that he was powerless to change the rules of the clan, so he could only carefully make some connections, and when something really happened in the future, he could find out some news from it.
After the master and servant finished speaking, the cuckoo happened to come up with a sumptuous meal, braised lion's head, chicken shredded with bird's nest, blanched dried silk, stir-fried shrimp, snowflake tofu, and the three fresh soup in the big bowl of rich flowers from the kiln was bright in color, which was very appetizing.
Jin Nian was glad in her heart, although the old lady didn't like her, but she was not stingy, and allowed each room to set up a small kitchen privately, although the expenses of the small kitchen were borne by each room itself.
Therefore, since she fell into the water, Mama Lin has made all kinds of delicacies for her in her mother's yard.
After dinner, Jin Nian was about to go to the study to do the homework left by Mr. Ling, when Du Juan came in and said, "Miss, Cui'er from the eldest lady's side is here." ”
Cui'er is a third-class little maid in Liu's courtyard, and she is responsible for cleaning the courtyard of Jinzhuyuan on weekdays.
Jin Nian was a little puzzled, thought about it, sent Yingge to see her, and walked into the study by himself.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she laid out the pen and ink, Yingge returned to her helplessly and said, "Cui'er said that she was willing to talk about business only when she saw Miss." ”
What can a third-class little maid do when she looks for her? Jin Nian frowned, presumably Cui'er had been instructed by the eldest lady, so she had to get up and go to the east wing.
"The eldest lady sent a slave maid to inform the sixth lady that she would gather at the Hanging Flower Gate and go to Guanyin Mountain the day after tomorrow.
Listening to Cui'er's immature tone, Jin Nian smiled, she was angry.
Female relatives go out of the house, has always been reported by Liu's right-hand mother or the eldest maid to each room, how much did Liu despise her, so he sent such a straightforward, just seven or eight-year-old girl to tell her about going out?
It's still outdated?!
Yingge on the side looked at Su Jinnian with some unease, and stopped talking.
Seeing that Jinnian just looked at her lightly and didn't speak, Na Cui'er immediately felt a little panicked and at a loss in her heart, afraid that she would be ruined if she received the eldest lady's errand for the first time.
Why bother this little girl! Jin Nian sighed and asked, "What else did the eldest aunt order?" ”
Seeing that Jinnian finally answered, Na Cui'er secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and continued a little timidly: "The eldest lady said that at noon, the vegetarian meal is served in the temple, and the pastries that relieve fatigue on the road are made by the big kitchen, so the sixth lady does not need to prepare another meal. ”
After she finished speaking, she tilted her head and thought for a while, and said: "The eldest lady also said that it is possible to stay on the mountain for one night, and the night on the mountain is cold, and the lady asked the young lady to spare thicker clothes or cloaks." ”
Jin Nian suddenly admired the Liu family a little, although this girl of the faction is small but reliable, she can explain all the important things clearly, and she really has a set.
Shicai's anger also dissipated a lot, she asked Yingge to reward Cui'er with two hanging money, and she went back to the room to curl up on the bed to read, and unconsciously fell asleep, without saying anything at night.
On the day of the eighth day of the second lunar month, the sky changed from gray to gloomy, revealing a blue cloudy sky.
Early in the morning, magpies are chirping in the branches full of peach blossoms.
Jin Nian got up early in the morning, she opened the window with her own hands, and a fresh air mixed with the fragrance of flowers came to her face, and spring had indeed arrived.
Her mood also became happy, and she casually picked up the yellow calendar on the table and flipped through it: On the eighth day of the second lunar month, it is appropriate to sacrifice, travel, and meet friends!
It's a good day indeed!
This is the first time she has gone out since she was reborn, and it is also the first time in two lives that she has gone to Guanyin Mountain.
Mama Lin saw that she was still leisurely flipping through the yellow calendar, so she was a little anxious: "Miss, let's have breakfast, I will have to change my clothes later, I am afraid that it will be too late for you to look at it again." ”
Jin Nian accepted the yellow calendar, sat down at the round table happily, and used half an extra oil cake for breakfast.
At the end of the day, she took the cuckoo and the warbler song out of the flower building, she still combed the hanging hair and inserted beaded flowers, and wore a shrimp blue upper body with a silk skirt, which made people feel pleasing to the eye at a glance.
When the three of them arrived at the Weeping Flower Gate, the Cui family had already taken the sixth young master Brother Xuan and waited there.
Seeing Jin Nianlai, Cui's smiled and said: "Miss Six's dress has made me look straight in the eyes, the little girl's family should be so neat to be cute!" ”
Brother Xuan, who was on the side, also stuck out his tongue and head at her, and shouted crisply before Cui's attack: "Sixth sister." ”
Jin Nian was a little surprised: "The fourth aunt is making fun of me!" ”
As he was talking, the Liu family brought the second lady Su Jinyan from the big house and the fourth lady Su Jinxin from the big house.
Jin Nian stepped forward to greet the Liu family, and stepped aside to greet the two cousins.
Su Jinyan is fourteen years old, and Liu's has been showing her people recently, so she didn't go to school anymore, and was detained by Liu's family all day long to be a female celebrity.
Xu has been detained for a long time, there is excitement on her face that cannot be concealed, and Su Jinxin on the side is also full of energy.
In comparison, Jin Nian felt that he was too calm.
When Su Jinxiu arrived, the atmosphere began to be warm: "Sixth sister! Second sister, fourth sister, you all arrived quite early, I'm not late, right?! ”
Su Jinxiu was wearing a green gauze placket skirt, looking smart and lively, she greeted Su Jinnian and the other three with a grin, and her face was unabashedly looking forward to Gu Shenfei.
Everyone seemed to be infected by her enthusiasm, and the four girls quickly gathered in a circle and talked about the scenery of Guanyin Mountain.
Su Jinxiu excitedly proposed: "It is said that there is a maze of Emperor Yang of Sui built on Guanyin Mountain, which is extremely luxurious, and there are many portals. ”
Su Jinyan was the eldest of the four, and when she heard this, she was a little worried: "When the time comes, it will be troublesome if we can't get out, so it's better to go and pick the stars and look at the entire Jianghuai!" ”
Su Jinxin smiled: "Like the second sister, I chose to go to the Star Tower." ”
Su Jinxiu was a little disappointed, turned her eyes to look at Jinnian, and almost didn't write the three big words "follow me" on her face.
Jin Nian smiled, couldn't bear to dampen her interest, so she said, "Let's talk about it when we get there." ”
It is said that Guanyin Mountain is extremely steep, but I am afraid that once I go up the mountain, the old lady will not allow them to move around at will.
