Chapter 16 Relatives enter Beijing
The fifth girl had a miserable white face, she really didn't think about it so much. Uncle Xiao is the most sorry for himself, although I haven't seen it a few times, but since I was a child, I often received gadgets sent in by my little uncle, which is not worth anything, but the heart is precious.
When the grandmother came to see the aunt, she said that the little uncle must study hard, be a big official, support their mother and daughter, call the aunt to be a flat wife, and become a concubine herself, and the mother and daughter are even more willing to send silver to the Gao family!
Since the big house came out of the wife for a month, my aunt is a little crazy and uses my uncle's high school as a lifesaver, and she has also been poisoned by a kind of poison called "concubine".
If you are out of the house, you will be ashamed to say it! But being a concubine is different, you can eat what you want, wear what you want, you don't have to look at the face of your grandmother and sister, you don't have to be careful to please your grandmother, and even please your grandmother's maid.
Especially Su Su, who is obviously a maid, but she is more liked by her grandmother than her, and she is more like a young lady than her. Su Su is a good person, and her temper is also gentle, not everyone likes it in the house, and her popularity is also first-class, but the fifth girl just hates her!
And now when she heard her grandmother say that her uncle was using her, her aunt, and even the Song family, the five girls couldn't believe it at first, and then faintly felt that what her grandmother said was right.
The uncle drew a large cake for the mother and daughter, and the silver taken away every year was an average of five or six hundred taels. Now that he has won the Jinshi, his uncle must go up to the door by himself!
No matter how stupid the fifth girl is, she knows that recognizing an aunt's brother as her uncle is a slap in the face of her mother-in-law, but she only thought about beating it before. Now that she heard that she wanted to catch up with her own reputation and the reputation of the Song family, she really didn't know this.
Thinking of this, the five girls collapsed on the ground, their minds full of "I'm finished, my aunt is finished!" ”
Seeing her like this, the old lady shook her head and said, "The fifth girl's nurse is unruly and instigates the girl, such a nurse, the Song family doesn't dare to ask for it." I thought about how she milked the girl, returned her deed of sale, and drove her out of the house! ”
However, the old lady was kind-hearted in the end, and added: "It's her things that she can take away, and the concierge is not allowed to be harsh!"
The old lady glanced at the five girls again, "The rules of the five girls must be studied hard!" From today onwards, be grounded for a month, not allowed to go out of the room, and copy "Boudoir Fan" and "Female Virtue"; As a big girl, Bisha doesn't know how to persuade her master. On the contrary, he let it go, and the monthly money for three months was reduced to the second class. ”
Bisha kowtowed to the old lady, only then did she help her own girl, and waited until she got out of Sui'an Hall, and then shivered, only to find that her back was all soaked. It turns out that the old lady knows everything!
The fifth girl went back and fell ill, and the old lady ordered that the girls were not allowed to visit, and the doctor came several, only saying that it was a heart disease, and it was good to explain it slowly.
Those who know the details won't say anything, and those who don't know don't dare to ask, haven't they seen that the nurses of the five girls have been kicked out?
There weren't many people on the day Sui'an Tang went to the room, and the old lady gave a gag order again, and this farce did not set off any waves in the courtyard.
After that, the five girls were grounded in the house, and later said that they wanted to find a quiet place to copy books, so they moved to the courtyard of the third room.
The old lady didn't have time to pay attention to this, so she responded, just because all the relatives of the Song family came from Yangzhou, or they should go to the capital in a few days.
The three old men and three ladies are also coming, the courtyard of the three rooms must be cleaned up, the guest rooms everywhere must be cleaned up, and the most important thing is that the new house of the prince must also be cleaned up.
This large treasury was originally under the management of the inner court, but because of the eldest lady, it is now under the outer court. Su Su is also busy, and the old lady who has not been at home for many years is also tired, but the two daughters-in-law can't do it, and the old lady doesn't believe them, so she just hopes that the third lady will come to Beijing and take over the mess.
And the Gao family, after looking forward to it for a few days, I didn't see my niece come to the door, and within a few days, the five girls and nurses who were kicked out of the house by the old lady came to the door, Gao Yue knew that the Song family's road was impassable, and he couldn't help but secretly hate in his heart, he now has a good future, and the Song family still has no face with him like this, but his face is also plain as usual.
I don't know what I thought, but when I saw that the five girls had a big bag and a small bag, she actually left her to live at home, only to say that she breasted her niece in the end!
There was no one in the nurse's house for a long time, otherwise she would not have come to the Gao family, and when she saw Gao Yue taking him in, she asked what to say. She also had some small items such as handkerchiefs used by the five girls in private, and she caused trouble because of this in the future, so I won't mention this for the time being.
Just said that on the Song family's side, after the old lady received the news that her relatives were about to arrive in Beijing, she packed it up.
At the end of September, the third master and the third lady entered Beijing first, accompanied by the old lady of the Li family (the old lady's sister-in-law and also the mother-in-law of the third lady) and the eldest girl and aunt of the Song family.
Within a few days, the second aunt and the second aunt and wife entered Beijing with their daughters, accompanied by a son and a daughter from the third aunt's wife. The third aunt was a magistrate, and he was not allowed to leave the territory under his jurisdiction without a will, so he asked the third aunt to congratulate the old lady and his brother-in-law, Qinghe's nephew on his behalf. On October 10, the uncle of the Li family arrived with Mrs. Li, accompanied by the second lady's eldest brother's family.
At this point, all the in-laws of the Song family except for the eldest lady's mother's family have arrived, and the Song family is also unprecedentedly lively.
The deceased old lady Song was confused in choosing a daughter-in-law, but she was not confused at all in raising her daughter.
The two concubines were brought to the old lady at birth, and the old lady was a woman with a heart, and she was also carefully educated for the daughter of the concubine.
The marriage of the second aunt and the third aunt was also selected by the old lady in every possible way, and the two aunts were very close to their mothers-in-law, and they never missed the festival every year. Coupled with the strength of the brothers and sisters, they are also very tough in their husband's family!
Nowadays, when the nephew marries, the congratulatory gifts brought by the two aunts and the objects of filial piety to the old lady are all brought by boat.
As the daughter of a local official, Mrs. Sangu also has to prevent others from saying that her master is a corrupt official and restrain herself. But the second aunt's wife is not afraid, the Sun family that her grandson married is the richest man in Yangzhou. said that the Song family was rich and noble, because everyone in the world knew that the salt merchants were rich, but when it came to the Sun family, even the salt merchants were not as good.
The Li family became an imperial merchant because of the Song family, while the Sun family purchased jewelry and exotic objects for the royal family when they fought in the previous dynasty. Today, although it is not as famous as the family, it also has a hereditary position in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
If it weren't for the kindness of Mrs. Song to the old lady of the Sun family back then, as the second aunt's wife, she would not be the eldest daughter-in-law of the Sun family no matter what. Of course, the second aunt's wife is indeed excellent, and the Sun family took a fancy to the potential of the Song family, so they decided on this family business!
Having said so much, I just want to say that this time the Song family is back in the limelight in the capital. A cart of cages was transported from the wharf into Shun'anbo Mansion, and when the lively people inquired, they learned that it was the two aunts of the Song family and the old lady of the Song family who entered Beijing.
Nowadays, who dares to underestimate the old lady Song's maidservant background, not only has a royal businessman's maiden family, but even the concubine is married so well. It set off a wave of "I'd rather marry a maid than a small girl" around the capital.
