Chapter 1: Su Su's Departure (1)
Old Madam Song and Su Su thought that there was more time left for them, Su Su was only fourteen, according to the practice of matching people at the age of eighteen with the maid of Sui'an Tang, Su Su could stay by the old lady's side for at least another four years, who knew that it was Prince Gong's case.
It is rare to meet a man like Hong Sheng, who is affectionate, righteous and responsible, and he made a family appointment, and only waited for Su Su and Lu Hongsheng to return to Beijing to get married. In this way, Su Su can only stay in the Song family for another year, but who knows, now there is such gossip, which not only involves the five girls, but most importantly, the male and female hosts of Qingfeng Xuan.
The things in this world are really "everything is fate, and it is not up to anyone." ”
The old lady was reluctant to be sad, and she could only force Su Su to stay until her birthday.
On the birthday of the old lady in August, the old lady Song wore a hundred blessings and longevity auspicious cloud brocade clothes made of Su Su's stitches and threads, and sat on the top of the upper room of Sui'an Hall.
But as soon as Mrs. Song thought of her birthday, Su Su, who was the most beloved as her own granddaughter, was about to leave the house, with a smile on her face, but her heart was sad, and at the banquet, she unconsciously drank a few more glasses of fruit wine, and when everyone dispersed in the evening, she was drunk, and she only took Su Su's hand and didn't let go, so she fell asleep.
Su Su bit her lip, and the tears that she had endured for a long time still fell. Mama Qin looked at this master and servant like her ancestors and grandchildren, and felt very sour in her heart, and she really responded to the sentence "There is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed!" "There is such a lovely person left in front of the master, and now he is leaving.
After the old lady fell asleep, Su Su gently put her hand into the quilt, "Mama, if I ruin this face, won't there be so many grievances between right and wrong?" ”
Mama Qin looked at Su Su's beautiful and beautiful face, "Silly boy, when you reach Mama's age, you will understand that these things are really nothing now." People often say, 'Not attracting envy is mediocrity', that is, you don't have this appearance, as long as you are still you, there will always be people who are jealous and cause trouble. ”
After Mama Qin finished speaking, she shook her head, Su Su is thoughtful and old-fashioned, in the end, he is still a child, too young, and he has experienced too few things, and he will understand in the future that in this life, even if he is as high as a saint, he will have such and such a last resort.
"Go back to sleep! Tomorrow happily left the house, and one day came back happily, so that the old lady could rest assured. ”
Su Su blessed Mama Qin, "Mama, the old lady will be handed over to you in the future!" ”
After Su Su left, the old lady who should have been asleep opened her eyes, the tears in her eyes couldn't help but flow, looked at Mama Qin, shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Ah Xiang, now there are two of us left!" ”
Mama Qin sat in front of the bed and wiped away the old lady's tears, "Master, when the children are older, you must let them go out to have a look, with you behind them, they can fly higher, so you have to take good care of your body and be their backing." ”
The old lady shook her head, "Ah Xiang, don't comfort me. I understand that if you are not deaf or dumb, you will not be a housekeeper. Only Su Su is still young, I don't worry, you say, such a good child, why can't he tolerate it?"
Mama Qin didn't speak, and the old lady didn't seem to want Mama Qin's answer, the master and servant were quiet, only the candle flame was flickering, and the night was getting deeper.
Over there, Su Su returned to the West Chamber, and the maid in the house hurriedly greeted her.
As I said earlier, after Su Su and Hong Sheng got married, the old lady asked Su Su to move the west chamber of Sui'an Hall, just as her own relatives, and treated her like cousins. Only Su Su was afraid of gossip, so he refused the maid and wife arranged by the old lady to serve.
Only since that day Su Su knelt down and begged the old lady to leave the house, although the old lady agreed, but asked Su Su to go out of the house after her birthday, but the old lady was still a little depressed in her heart, and only said that she had wronged Su Su, and she had to ask Mrs. Shizi to buy some little maids to call Su Su pick.
Su Su was moved and helpless in her heart, seeing that the old lady was holding her breath and was very stubborn, she could only agree, but she didn't have to work hard to drive Mrs. Shizi, she had four people in her hands!
But it turned out that the old lady gave Su Su a deed of sale that day, as well as 200 acres of fertile land and a small village, Qiao's housekeeper thought it through, and by the way, he bought four more houses for Su Su, and the deed of sale was in Su Su's hands.
Although Su Su had never been to Zhuangzi, he had seen the family members of the four people in the house and rewarded some things. This time, Su Su wanted to pick a maid, and when he remembered it, he called Yang Liu, who was married to Tongzhou, to help, and picked four little maids from his Zhuangzi and sent them to Shun'anbo Mansion.
The people in the four rooms are all carefully selected by Qiao's housekeeper, and they are all the children of large families, because the main family made a mistake and was raided, the subordinates are naturally also sold, and the rules are not worse than the subordinates of Shun Anbo Mansion, and they will not lose their dignity if they marry Su Su in the future.
Yang Liu selected four little maids, all of whom were eleven or twelve years old, and they could do things without much teaching when they came in, and they had already been beaten, and there was only Su Su in their hearts.
According to the rules, Su Su renamed the four maids.
The best and very clever one is called Fandai, the one with a good embroidery is called Qiqiao, the one that looks a little simple but has a clear mind is called Linglong, and the one with a faint expression on his face but is literate and literate is called ink.
With Su Su's means, it is simply easy to get the four little girls to obey, and now they have served Su Su for two or three months, and they are also very tacit.
Su Su's identity is embarrassing, this is the old lady's birthday, Su Su asked the four of them to guard the house, this time Su Su came back, the four maids hurriedly came around, and after serving Su Su to wash and change clothes, Shui Mo brought Su Su a cup of sobering soup.
The whole house already knew that Su Su was out of the house, and now on the old lady's birthday, Su Su was also caught by the master who had made a good friend, but he poured a few glasses, although it was fruit wine, but it had some stamina, only Su Su's body was actually a thousand cups of not drunk system, only this only she knew, Su Su drank a few glasses and pretended to be too strong to drink, and she told her again and again before she stopped.
Su Su drank the sobering soup, scattered the smell of wine, and thought about it self-deprecatingly, pouring the beauty of the country, and not getting drunk in a thousand cups, this is the golden finger that he crossed over, sure enough, he is only suitable for being cannon fodder.
"Have you packed all your things?" Su Su's body box and cage were all sorted out by herself, and the dowry given by the old lady to Su Su had already been prepared, along with the dowry given by Hong Sheng, and the four maids had already sent it to Zhuangzi first, and the four maids also cleaned up the objects in the house.
"The things in the house have been packed up, but in the past few days, because the girl is going to leave the house, the owners of each room have rewarded a lot of things, and some subordinates have come in several waves one after another, and the slaves and maids are registering and making records, and they are almost finished." Ink took the account book written in the past few days and showed it to Su Su.
Su Su glanced at it, whether it was good friends with Su Su or dislike Su Su, it was the second girl who got married that knew that Su Su was leaving, so she asked someone to send something.
Among them, several Mrs. Shizi made a big deal, and the gold and silver ingots at the bottom of the box had ten gold ingots, ten gold ingots, two calligraphy and paintings, two treasures, two sets of precious stones, twenty-four clothes, a box of furs, and some gold and silver purses.
Su Su didn't have any problems with Mrs. Shizi in his heart, but he had to leave the house, and Su Su only had reluctance to the old lady and a few girls. Now that Mrs. Shizi has given such a generous reward, Su Su knows that she still can't bear it in her heart, that is, when the old lady sees it, no matter how big the resentment in her heart is, it is like a balloon that has been pricked by a needle, what else can she say.
Su Su knew that Mrs. Shizi was like this, but it was for the sake of the old lady's face, but because she could take care of the old lady, Su Su thanked her 100,000 yuan, for this reason, Su Su stayed up all night to make two small clothes, and wrote the old lady's daily favorite food and drink on a piece of paper, and sent it to Qingfeng Xuan together with the clothes, only to ask Mrs. Shizi to sigh privately with her confidant: "No wonder grandmother favors her, change me, such a loyal girl, it will hurt a little more." The mustard in my heart has disappeared, and some people should be white moonlight and red roses, which is unattainable.
"Tomorrow out of the house, we are going back to Zhuangzi, the things that are rewarded to your house are put on the outside, the time is not early, you have to get up early tomorrow, you also go to sleep."
Su Su is not used to having people on duty at night, and the four maids are different from the maids of the Song family, so the four of them live in the ear rooms on both sides of the wing room.
The four maids served Su Su to bed, and then they blew out the lamp and went out to rest separately.
Su Su lay on the bed, slowly adapting to the darkness, in addition to reluctance, there was actually a joy in her heart. No one likes to be willing to be a slave, she was originally to repay the old lady's kindness and love.
Now, she really decided to leave the house, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, in the future, she no longer had to hold a face that was smiling when she saw people, she didn't have to wear a dress and she had to worry about whether she would attract the eyes of the master, and she didn't have to worry about the old lady's treasury and beat her idea.
Outsiders only see her all day long, how much favor she gets, how many things she gets, but these are all things she has obtained step by step with her sincerity and strength, since she entered the house, she is really careful step by step, cautious in everything, even illness is a luxury for her.
Now, all this can be put down, Su Su thought, perhaps, life is not so bad.
In summer, it dawns early, but at five o'clock in the morning, the diligent rooster has been crowing for a long time. Su Su slept late at night, even lying in bed thinking about things, and felt that it was dawn when he fell asleep. When I got up, I saw two shallow shadows under my eyes.
When the four maids came over, Su Su had already finished washing and was wearing clothes, but her hair had not yet been combed.
The four maids have served Su Su for two or three months, and they also know some of Su Su's temperament, such as washing and changing clothes, and they have always disliked the maid's service.
Su Su and they were not used to it before, and Su Su couldn't adjust it for a while, after all, she was a waiter before.
The four maids are also very helpless, they have never seen such a well-served master, they are all one person inside and out, and they are only like wasted people.
It took a long time for Su Su to find the feeling of being the master, and the four maids also had a clear division of labor.
Su Su doesn't like someone to serve close to wash and change clothes, so this is exempt. Fandel has a good mouth and a sweet mouth, so she runs errands and combs her hair; The seven tricks are in charge of the garments; Linglong is in charge of jewelry; Ink literacy is in charge of the money and the expenditure ledger in the house.
Su Su also took the four of them with him when he worked overtime for Ning Xiang and Yun Tong, and now he has taken action.
This time, Su Su wore a pale blue cardigan, which was long below the knee, revealing only a short white silk skirt.
The hem of the caftan is embroidered with a large dark green lotus leaf and pink lotus flower bones, and there are water droplets rolling among the lotus leaves when walking.
The white silk skirt is only embroidered with silver thread at the edge of the water ripples, and below is a pair of light green embroidered shoes, embroidered with pink lotus bones, and a dragonfly carved by green tourmaline stands on it. ”
Although Fan Dai and the other four maids have been with Su Su for two or three months, every time they see Su Su like this, they are still a little fascinated and shocked.
Su Su had a black hair scattered, and when she saw the four stunned little girls, she smiled, "What are you in a daze, don't come in quickly, the old lady will get up in a while." ”
The old lady doesn't need Su Su to come over to serve in the morning, but Su Su knows that the time to stay with the old lady is one day less, where is the willingness? Today is the last time to serve the old lady to get up, and she refuses to be late.
The four maids entered the house, and Linglong took out Su Su's commonly used jewelry box, and took out one of the sets of jadeite inlaid treasure heads like a pool of blue water, which responded to the theme of lotus.
Two long hairpins carved with lotus flowers in full bloom, two hairpins with half-open and non-flowering bones, a lotus leaf lying frog sideburns the size of a wine cup, a dragonfly lotus flower with dripping beads, and a pair of earrings with a small lotus pod.
Fan Dai has learned to comb her hair, and she has learned a lot from Yunduo when she enters the house, and when she saw Su Su's clothes and jewelry, she combed a cloud bun.
Fan Dai used two long hairpins to twist her hair, and she was about to insert a step shake, but Su Su shook her head, "It's too solemn, wear that sideburns!" ”
Fan Dai had to stop, it's a pity, his own master looks good, and his demeanor is thousands, with a step shake, he responded to the sentence "Cloud sideburns and flowers and golden steps!" ”
Only the master has always been a low-key character, and the high-profile and wealthy step shake and phoenix hairpin have always been the goods at the bottom of the box.
Fan Dai felt pity in her heart, and her face was revealed, Su Su looked funny but didn't speak, in the end, it was a child, she went out of the house today, and she just asked for something else, so she should be more cautious.
This body is already extraordinary, and it is just to reassure the old lady.
Although Fan Dai is good-looking and smart, it is because of her good looks that the little girl is a little fond of vanity.
Su Su brought the jade earrings of the little lotus canopy, a pair of turquoise bracelets of the water species, and Qiqiao handed over a water-blue silk handkerchief, Su Su took it, got up and said before going out: "You three tell this girl."
After the four maids sent Su Su out, when they saw Su Su walking away, Shui Mo took Fandai's hand and nodded at her forehead, so she had such a smart face......
The four little maids here privately admonished each other, and Su Su came to the upper room.
