Chapter 81, where the maid goes
Su Minghua's first seven days have just passed, it stands to reason that this is not the time to put on a big banquet, but Su Jingye has become the concubine of the fifth room, which is also a good thing for the fifth room of the Su family, so the grandfather of the country Su Yao and his wife Du Shi did not treat them harshly, and allowed the five rooms to set up a few tables of banquets in the West Wind Courtyard, which can be regarded as a tribute to Su Jingye's sister-in-law.
The banquet time is set for two days later, after all, this is a good thing for the five rooms of the Su family, and it takes a little time to prepare, and the Xie family is also full of joy to send people to each house to send invitations or something, of course, her mother's family, the Xie family's side is naturally unavoidable, and it must be invited.
It is rare that Wufang has just experienced Su Minghua's death, and there is finally such a festive thing at this time, so Grandpa Su Yao waved his hand and asked the housekeeper's big room Song to take out five hundred taels of silver from the public to Wufang as a fund for organizing this banquet.
Xie Shi was surprised, this is so good, how can his father-in-law let the sister-in-law in charge of the family take out five hundred taels of silver, although five hundred taels of silver is not a large amount, but in the preparation of a concubine out of the house, it is more than enough for the concubine to be named as a concubine.
Different from Xie's surprise, the big house Song family, who was in charge of the affairs of the Guogong Mansion, was stunned, and the big house Song family was very unhappy in his heart, this is so good, how can the public middle school take out five hundred taels of silver to hold a banquet for what kind of concubine?
Song was reluctant in his heart, but because of the orders of Grandpa Su Yao, he could only obediently comply, although she had revealed the matter before, it didn't mean that it hadn't happened, and now she really shouldn't annoy this powerful father-in-law anymore!
The fifth room of the Su family is a concubine, and Su Jingye is the concubine of the concubine, so the Xie family has the intention to invite those high-ranking family members to come out as guests, but they can't invite them, so the Xie family took five hundred taels of silver from their own hands, made up one thousand taels, and held a banquet that is not big or small.
Of course, the Xie family understood that she was only the daughter-in-law of the Guogong Mansion, and she didn't want to befriend those concubines who were upright, nor did she surrender her identity and invite some concubines to come·······
Aunt Wu's maiden family, the Wu family, is from the official position of Sipin, neither high nor low, and the Xie family also sent an invitation to go decently, as for whether the Wu family will come, that is another matter!
It's good to say hello to the Xie family when they come, and if they don't come, the Xie family won't go to the door with an iodine face and beg them to come·······
And after Su Minghua's Tongfang Yahan came to the door with a big belly, Xie also thought that in the south courtyard of Xifeng Courtyard now, those Tongfang maids who moved out of the backyard have nowhere to go, so Xie took advantage of the time to organize this banquet, and found Su Jinyan and other four children to come to discuss.
Xie also wanted to take a litter directly and send it to Zhuangzi to let them die of old age for the rest of their lives, but at the end, he remembered the expression of the second daughter who had mentioned these maids several times before, so he deliberately looked for the four of them.
Now that Su Jingye is already her sister-in-law, she is not good at favoring one over the other, so she called all four children over, listen to their opinions.
At the same time, Xie is also taking this opportunity to teach the four of them, one day, the daughter will marry, the son will marry a wife, after all, they have to face the backyard women, take advantage of this ready-made opportunity, and teach them some.
"Ye'er, Yan'er, now that there are only a few of us in our family, we don't need so many people to serve, my mother thinks about whether I should send out those maids in the South Courtyard?" Xie Shi already had a plan in his heart, but his face was not obvious, and he deliberately opened his mouth to ask Su Jinyan and Su Jingye.
According to Xie's original intention, these maids didn't bother to treat them differently, so they simply served them in one pot and sent them to the remote Zhuangzi to stay, there was no need to treat them differently.
These maids in the room, but if the Xie family does not hate them, they will be like Aunt Bai, and they will directly become aunts from the maids, instead of being the maids in the room without giving birth to children, Aunt Bai Zeng's Xie is the maid who waits in front of the Xie family, and when Su Minghua came back, he took a fancy to it, and the Xie family simply gave the identity of the aunt, which can be regarded as the love of the master and servant.
Now these maids living in the south courtyard are either the ones who were favored by Su Minghua in various situations in the mansion and then became the maids in the house, or they were brought back directly from outside the house, all kinds of origins, and the Xie family didn't bother to treat them one by one, just thinking about sending them all to the remote Zhuangzi, and life and death were created by themselves.
"The mother is in charge of this matter, and the son listens to the mother's ······" After Su Jingye pondered for a moment, he got up and replied to Xie Shi.
Su Jingye did this, it is also a way to protect himself, although it is just a few maids who have a room, but there is a saying that is good, the king of Hades is easy to provoke, the little ghost is difficult, these girls are desperate, and it is inevitable that they will go out and do something.
"Mother, Yan'er thinks she can ask them what they mean, after all, mother needs a good reputation·······" Su Jinyan knew that she had always talked about these maids in front of Xie some time ago, and Xie understood what she meant.
At this time, Su Jinyan said casually, but there was a university question in it, those maids in the South Courtyard must have been in a panic all day long, they were afraid that one day they would suddenly be sent out casually, and they were used to a good life of clothes to stretch out their hands, and let them do some inferior work, which was a kind of torture for them.
Letting them live is just a gesture, but it is enough to make them grateful to Dade, and maybe there will be some great things in the future·······
Xie Shi pondered Su Jinyan's words, and only nodded after a long time, and secretly said This is a good plan, these maids in the room, no matter how they are raised, it will not cost much silver, and in this way, her reputation for kindness and generosity has iron-clad evidence.
Those who want her to have a bad reputation, I'm afraid this time it's a miscalculation, but this also needs to ask them what they mean, whether they want to be a maid who can never get ahead, stay a widow for the rest of their lives, or go out to find another way to make a living, it is inevitable that sometimes, they do bad things with good intentions, and they are not only not grateful, but resentful of themselves!
