Chapter 61, Five-Room West Wind Courtyard
Not only the five-room Xifeng Courtyard of the Su family, but also the other eight-room people of the Su family, every courtyard is like this, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the aunts and concubines want to come to the main room to ask for peace, and because each courtyard is so big, plus the lady of the main room is in order to stand up, so only the main room and the concubine are sitting, and the others are standing.
The only difference between the Su family's five-room Xifeng Courtyard this time and the past is two things, first, Su Jingye, the former concubine, has become a sister-in-law this time, sitting like Su Jinchu's sisters, and second, there is one more person among the five-room concubines, who was accepted by the Xie family as a righteous daughter in Tsing Yi.
Regarding the matter of Xie accepting Tsing Yi as a righteous daughter, Xie has asked his marrying mother Li to reveal this to Mother Han next to Duke's Duke, and besides, this righteous girl does not need to enter the clan ancestral hall, just need to notify the people in the house!
"Say hello to my mother, hello mother!" Xie sat on the upper seat of the main courtyard of the five-room Xifeng Courtyard, Su Jinyan and the four of them got up from their seats, and the other concubines and concubines were already standing, so there was no way to get up or anything, and then Su Jinyan and Su Jingye stood in front of them and saluted Xie in unison.
The Pingguo Mansion is a century-old family, so the etiquette is thorough, and this is just a greeting on the fifteenth day of the first month of every month, even if the children below do something bad, they will not seriously pick bones in the eggs.
The Xie family has always been free range to these concubines and concubines, except for those that suit her eyes, the others will definitely not pay attention, Xie's purpose is that the concubines and concubines are just concubines, just make a show, there is no need to dig out their hearts and lungs, and there is no need to say that they are too strict, they have their own aunts to discipline, and the Su family has never said that concubines and concubines cannot be raised under the knees of their aunts······
Su Jinzhen and Su Jingchang, the children of Aunt Wu, were very inadequately saluting Xie Shi, Xie Shi frowned without a trace, and did not say anything.
The other concubines and concubines, except for the younger Su Jingfan and Su Jinxi, the two of them were held by the nurse, and the other salutes were all in a proper manner, and there were no major mistakes, and the Xie family was not very kind to see these concubines and concubines, so after saluting, they let each of them go back to their respective seats and stand.
After the concubine, it is the aunt of the fifth room and others, Aunt Wu and Aunt Zhong are the highest status of the maiden family among the five aunts, so standing in front, a little behind Aunt Wu and Aunt Zhong is Aunt Liu, the biological mother of Su Jingfan, another concubine in the fifth room.
Although Aunt Liu used to be the tea maid in front of Xie's family, she couldn't stand her stomach and gave birth to a son, so among the many concubines in the backyard, Aunt Liu's identity was only lower than that of Zhong Wu's two aunts.
After that, in addition to Su Jinzhen and Su Jinxiang in the fifth room, the aunts of the other three concubines, who stood in order of their mother's status, finally had no children and no daughters, Aunt Bai who was born as a maid next to the Xie family, and there was also an Aunt Zhao in the fifth room, who lost her son three years ago, and now she is delirious, Xie is considerate, so she is exempted from Aunt Zhao's invitation and let the people around her wait for her.
Aunt Bai, who was born as a servant girl next to the Xie family, is now only seventeen years old, two years ago, at the end of the year, Su Minghua came back from office, and somehow took a fancy to it, and Xie was also happy and generous, and directly raised the identity of the aunt.
Xie Shi also said a few symbolic words to these aunts, whether they put their words in their hearts or not, and then let them get up, aunts are different from concubines and concubines, and the aunts are to bow down to ask for peace, in other words, that is to say, the status of the aunts is neither high nor low, half master and half servant, and the status is not as good as the concubines and concubines they have produced.
Aunt Wu used to follow Su Minghua in office, and rarely was in the Guogong Mansion, so this is the first time to ask Xie for peace so solemnly, in the past, when Aunt Wu was in the Xifeng Courtyard of the Guogong Mansion, she either pretended to be sick, or she was not here or there, and she never came to ask Xie for peace.
Today's invitation to be safe can be described as a great humiliation for Aunt Wu, but she has no choice, now she can't be a flat wife, Su Minghua, the biggest backer, is also dead, and even if she becomes a flat wife, this identity is lower than that of a regular wife after all, and it is also necessary to ask for peace·······
Aunt Wu didn't want to think about it, in terms of the status of her mother's family, her mother's family was not as good as Shaoqing of Honglu Temple from the fourth grade, and Aunt Zhong's mother's family was the fourth grade, which was still one layer higher, Aunt Zhong didn't feel humiliated when she asked Xie Shi to ask for peace, where was she qualified to feel humiliated.
For Aunt Wu's unhappy face, Xie saw it, but pretended not to see it, this is the beginning, since Aunt Wu couldn't become a flat wife in the fifth room before, then she can't become a wife in the future, and now she has both sons and daughters under her knees, do you still need to be afraid of a little aunt?
To put it mildly, my aunt is just half a slave, find a mistake and send it away at will, send it to Zhuangzi, there is no way, don't want to come back for the rest of your life!
The aunts were followed by the five-room maids, and the maids in the south courtyard of the West Wind Courtyard originally lived in the relatively small cross-courtyard of the south courtyard of the West Wind Courtyard, because Su Minghua passed away, the south courtyard was cleaned up and the corpses were parked or something, so they were instructed to live with the people in the back yard of the West Wind Courtyard and the people under the five rooms.
Now the south courtyard has not been done well, so the maids in the room are still living in the backyard, and the maids in the house are no longer the same as before, one by one, dressed up and showy, after all, Su Minghua, the head of the five-room house, has passed away, and they have not even seen Su Minghua's figure in recent months, and it is absolutely impossible for them to become aunts.
If the Xie family sees that they are uncomfortable, they can send them to Zhuangzi, or sell them directly to the people, which is the right of the lady of the main room.
At this time, these maids may be wearing the most simple clothes in their suitcases, and they look at them one by one, but they are a little elegant and chrysanthemum-like, Su Jinyan looked at these maids in the room, and sighed for them in his heart, this can become a maid in the room, naturally they are all a little bit beautiful, how good it would be if you marry an ordinary person to be a lady, thinking about flying on the branches and becoming a phoenix, but it turned out to be this field now·······
If it is really a big family, rich and noble, these maids only know the scenery of being an aunt and a concubine, but they don't know the sadness in this, if they can have children and daughters, or their mother's family has some ability, then it's okay, not to die silently in the backyard of the house, if so········
