Chapter 13: Returning Home
Sui'an Tang asked several times, so when Su Su arrived at the door of the Bo'an Mansion, he had already returned to Sui'an Tang with a spirit, and naturally got the old lady's reward, and when Su Su entered the house from the West Corner Gate, he sat in a soft sedan chair and entered Sui'an Hall.
Although Su Su was born as a maid in the house, she was the most favored in front of the old lady, although the husband of the marriage was a military attachΓ©, but Su Su married someone who was a pleasant person of the five grades, that is, the second lady of the house, although her own family called "Mrs.", in fact, with the official position of the second master, she was just a six-grade Anren.
Entering the weeping flower door, after passing through the hall, Su Su saw that it was Mrs. Shizi who greeted her personally at the door of the main room, and hurriedly walked a few steps. Before he squatted down, he was stopped by Mrs. Shizi and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few days, and the girl has not been separated from me?" β
I can get out of the house, but there is no "part of the force" of Mrs. Shizi behind it, but in the end, it is as Su Su's wish, even if I can't bear the old lady, it is better than putting her in a dilemma.
Su Su has no resentment towards Mrs. Shizi, and when she goes out of the house, she is also very generous, but Su Su took advantage of it, and naturally smiled at this moment: "I am still looking forward to Mrs. Shizi's reward for a few days, it's too late to get close, where do you dare to give birth?" β
As she was talking, the sixth girl couldn't wait to lift the curtain and came out, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law and Sister Su Su are polite to come and go, and we are all eager to see through it." The third girl, the fourth girl, and the two cousins also walked out, and the third girl smiled and said, "It's here!" β
The fourth girl looked at Su Su, and saw that her spirit was very good, much better than in the house, and she was wearing a garnet red gradient full-breasted skirt, covered with a lilac cardigan, and there was no embroidery on her body, she was already very bright and pretty.
The fourth girl took Su Su's hand, "Come into the house, since you go out of the house, grandmother can't eat or sleep well." Usually when you are at home, you don't feel anything, but when you leave, we also feel very uncomfortable, quite a feeling of living like a year. β
Su Su looked at the fourth girl who was a little exaggerated funny, covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled: "Now that you know how good I am, is it 'not a day of not seeing, like every three autumns'?"
Before the fourth girl answered, the sixth girl jumped over, shook her head and said, "There is a beautiful woman, I will never forget it." I don't see it for a day, and I think like crazy. β
Mrs. Shizi has always known that a few sisters-in-law and Su Su are good, but now that she sees it, she feels a little uncomfortable, but as soon as the complicated emotions of that idea came out, she heard the words of the sixth girl, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching.
At this moment, where can Mrs. Shizi take care of that little emotion, when she thinks of the scene when the third aunt is leaving, she will hand over the sixth sister to her with her heart and lungs, and look at the sister-in-law in front of her who is very comfortable with the "flirting" beauty, Zhao Lanzhi's heart is full of beef cows, third aunt, you come back, the bear child's routine is too deep, she can't hold it!
Entering the upper room, the old lady sat on the top, dressed very solemnly, giving Su Su enough face, and Su Su waited to see the old lady, only to find that although she had only been out of the house for more than ten days, she really had the feeling that the four girls said that her life was like a year.
Without waiting for the maid next to her to bring up the cushion, Su Su knelt in front of the old lady, kowtowed to the old lady, quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes between her bows, and then raised her head, smiling very brightly, "Old lady, Su Su is back!" β
Mrs. Song saw Su Su's action of secretly wiping her tears, but she didn't know, so she turned her head and wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, helped Su Su up with her own hands, and said with a smile: "It's good to be back."
The two masters and servants seemed to have just gone out to play for a few days before, and it was normal for them to return home this time.
Instead, the people who were afraid that the two of them would "hug their heads and cry", and were ready to comfort each other, looked at each other, and many comforting words were held in their hearts, and they almost didn't hold back the internal injuries, but now they are all happy.
After Su Su finished talking to everyone, she asked someone to bring in the things she brought, and said, "I know that there is no shortage of my ideas in the house, in the end, it is my heart, don't dislike it." After speaking, he distributed the things that were given to the masters.
In addition to the one she had picked out before, the old lady also had one more incense, two forehead wipes, and two pairs of shoes; Mrs. Shizi has two more small clothes, both of which are made by Susu novices, and they use good Songjiang cloth; The three girls and the two cousins added a Susu incense pill and a bottle of lotus condensation, and a few drops in the water when washing hands and faces had a moisturizing effect.
The other is the incense prepared for Concubine Xi and Princess Anning.
Others are just that, nothing valuable, just the word "novelty".
The old lady's two Tianshan Snow Lotus flowers were very precious, so she was ironed in her heart when she saw them, and said: "There are also two of the gifts sent by Hong Sheng, and I think this is also sent by Hong Sheng." It's too late for others to hide such a good thing, just the two of you, Baba's sent to me, just know that you have this heart, take it back quickly, and it will be very decent to be a dowry in the future! β
Su Su Buyi, sitting in front of the old lady, looked at the old lady who seemed to be a little old for a few days, and said: "Before, every stitch and thread around me was rewarded by you, even if I wanted to honor you, I was powerless, but now even if I borrow flowers to offer Buddha, it is the first time I have taken my own things to honor you, you don't want to, doesn't it hurt my heart?"
As she spoke, she was about to pretend to wipe her tears, but when the old lady looked at it, she scolded with a smile: "You girl, you went out to school and prevaricated me!" After speaking, he smiled, "That's it, I'll accept this filial piety." β
The old lady's smile is rare and brilliant during this period of time, only to let the people present see the mixed tastes, the old lady prefers Su Su, not to mention sending two precious Tianshan snow lotus, it is Su Su who gave her a handful of hay leaves, the old lady is afraid that she has to say that this grass grows beautifully.
Mrs. Shizi glanced at Su Su sourly, looking at the laughing cheerful grandmother and sixth sister, maybe the third uncle and three aunts all carried the black pot for the grandmother, and the sixth sister's beauty love is with the grandmother.
Thinking of my grandmother's side, the rough maids who sweep the floor are all better than others, not to mention the first and second class of personal service around them.
The more Mrs. Shizi thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case, but she didn't know that her thinking had been weirdly led astray.
Mrs. Shizi is pregnant, and now it has been six months, and it is already a great dignity to be able to greet Su Su at the door, and after accompanying her in Sui'an Hall for a while, the old lady sent a message to send her back.
Several girls made an appointment with Su Su to get together in the afternoon, and they also said goodbye to the old lady very well.
When only Su Su, the old lady and Mama Qin were left in the room, the three masters and servants had the heart to whisper.
The old lady was very worried about Su Su, so Su Su told the old lady everything that happened during her time out of the house, except for the Huang family's family affairs, which should not be mentioned by her.
So the old lady didn't know that Su Su had only been out of the house for a few days, and she was actually involved in a house fight, and it was about Yang Liu.
Just listening to Su Su talk about the slave who betrayed the master on the Zhuangzi, the old lady nodded Su Su a few times.
"Why is it that the slaves who have betrayed their masters don't want to redeem their bodies and release their deeds? When you are a bodhisattva in the temple, what kind of kindness do you have to do? is to subdue other subordinates, and they shouldn't be so good, so it's a slave's business, only where they should be, how can there be a reason for you to give in, don't make people think you're weak and bullied! β
The old lady glared at Su Su a few times, if she didn't have self-cultivation, she would have rolled her eyes. This kid, how did he leave the house and lose his brain!
Su Su laughed on the side, "Slaves don't want to let them rest in front of them and disgust people!" β
"What kind of slave maid, you have left the house, and you are a serious guest when you come back, that is, Mrs. Shizi, I have called it out to give you a long face, don't destroy your own prestige. Let me hear again, and see that I do not beat you. β
Su Su saw that the old lady was really staring, and while giving her own grandmother a look, she smiled and said, "Slip of the tongue, don't you say that you are used to it!" Seeing that the old lady stretched out her hand and really wanted to hang her, she hurriedly coquettish, "Hong Sheng also sent two camel hairs this time, and I still want to go back and make clothes and send them to you." β
The old lady couldn't take this hand anymore, and Mama Qin smiled: "You don't know that this girl is too lazy to bother looking for trouble, and will only pick the most trouble-free way." The temperament follows you again, and he has always been a loose hand, where do you care about the dozen taels of silver. According to what the old slave said, they don't know firewood, rice, oil and salt if they don't let go of their families, and when they become relatives, they know that it is not easy to live at home. β
When Su Su heard this, he pouted, "Mama, why are you still adding fuel to the fire!" The few who left were really bad, and staying was a scourge! β
Mama Qin smiled: "Then why didn't you drive that red sleeve and her mother away?" The old slave also listened inappropriately. β
Su Su sighed, "People still have big ambitions, I want to ask people to leave but can't find a reason, and there is no place to settle, so I can only do this first, staying under my nose, it's better than making a bad thing behind my back." β
The old lady and Mama Qin glanced at each other, quite hated that iron could not become steel, and the old lady said: "Since you know that they have great ambitions, do you really want to ask them to marry with you?" If it's not good, if you get in front of your uncle, you will have a face? β
When the old lady said this, she squinted her eyes and said lightly: "You don't have any intentions to test Hong Sheng, right?"
Su Suduo understands the old lady, as soon as she heard this tone, she knew that it was bad, her old man was really angry, and quickly shook her head, "No, no matter how bad I am, the old lady taught me, where can I be so brainless!" There is really no place to place them, although they are not good, but their families are quite capable, and I am also afraid that I will send them away and hurt the hearts of others below. β
The old lady was relieved at this time, she knew that Su Su couldn't be so unobtrusive, and then said seriously: "You are still young, and I haven't had time to teach you these things before, but, Su Su, you have to remember that men can't withstand temptation." The highest to the far moon, the closest relatives to the sparse husband and wife', there can be secrets between the two, but the husband and wife are also precious in sincerity, and the degree of this is up to you to master. β
When Su Su heard this, she couldn't help but plunge into the arms of the old lady and said, "It's good to have the old lady's love!"
Mrs. Song touched her head, and wished that this fairy-like child would be healthy and happy in the future, and her wishes would come true!
Speaking of red sleeves, the old lady couldn't help but nod Su Su's forehead and said, "Don't you even look at the dowry list I gave you?" Why is there no place to put a few subordinates? Besides, even if her father and brother are capable of using it, it is their bad luck to have such a big-hearted girl on the stall, the three-legged toad is not easy to find, and the two-legged subordinate is more! β
Su Su patted her head, and when she left the house, she rectified the Zhuangzi, and then she was called by Yang Liu, and when she came back, she was busy with the Mid-Autumn Festival rituals everywhere, and the dowry given to her by the old lady, she really glanced at it when she didn't leave the house, and she didn't have time to take care of it when she left the house.
As soon as the old lady said this, Su Su remembered that now she is really a rich man, of course, there will be no place to place a few people.
Not to mention other gold and silver jewelry, the old lady also gave her a shop in the third ring of the capital, a set of three-entry houses in the fourth ring, five hectares of good fertile land in Yangzhou, and a tea mountain in Shudi, which was exchanged for almost 50,000 taels of silver.
Although this is only a drop in the bucket for the old lady, even the serious girl in the house only got the 20,000 taels of silver that the old lady made up on her face.
Su Su was startled when he first saw it, and said that he didn't want anything. It was still the old lady who said that Su Su accepted it in fear.
On weekdays, the old lady's love for her provoked a fifth girl, if this dowry is leaked out, I am afraid that even the third and fourth girls will have to think more.
Only what the old lady said told her that she really couldn't refuse.
"I treat you as a granddaughter, and you have no father or mother, and the Bofu will be your maiden home in the future. Not to mention hypocrisy, now that you are married to Hong Sheng, it is also a help to our house. You follow me, you should know a lot, now the house is full of flowers and brocade cooking oil. Only from the dragon's work, where is it so good. These things were purchased in the mansion after I discussed with your lord, and I still have things for you in private, maybe you and Hong Sheng are a way out of the Bofu. β
Since it came to this, Su Su no longer refused, and when she left the house, sure enough, the old lady gave her a few land deeds in private, all of which were good fields in Yangzhou and some mulberry gardens and tea mountains in the south, and these industries did not need to be taken care of by Su Su.
The stewards of these industries have been privately cultivated by the Song family over the years, and it goes without saying that they are loyal, Su Su is just waiting for the annual cashier.
Su Su is in charge of the old lady's private treasury, and all the stewards have also recognized it, but they have never seen these stewards, thinking that they are in the name of the eldest master of the outer courtyard or not in the name of the Song family at all. She originally thought that she knew enough, but now she knows that the Song family relies on financial resources to support a prince to ascend the throne, and she doesn't think that it will only be a little business on the surface.
If it was before, the water was so deep, Su Su, who was afraid of trouble and death, would say that she would not wade into this troubled water, but now the Song family has an old lady and six girls that she can't reluctant, and it is the weakness of the Qiao family and her best sister Yang Liu, and now, she can't be allowed to stop doing it.
It's a bit off-topic, mainly because Su Su finally remembered that he really didn't have such a Zhuangzi in Tongxian in his hand. She originally wanted to clean up the house that the old lady gave her, but then she forgot about it. When you go back, you can drop a subordinate to the house first, and then someone must look at the house, and it is logical to leave people behind.
Su Su looked at the old lady and raised her thumb mischievously, "Jiang is still old and spicy!" β
