The people had dinner in Sui'an Hall, and at about nine o'clock in the morning, guests came.

The first one to arrive was the head of the Sun family, a household member at the same level as the eldest lord, the lady looked a little forty, and I heard that he and Lord Sun were poor couples, and the couple had a very good relationship, even if Lord Sun was an official, there was no concubine in the family.

Mrs. Sun gave birth to two sons and a daughter, but this one has brought two girls. The two girls are thirteen or fourteen years old, dressed in the same way, only one looks hearty and generous, and the other is a little delicate and inferior.

After seeing the salute on both sides, Mrs. Sun was very cheerful and said with a smile: "I have long wanted to come to greet the old lady, but I am afraid of Meng Lang, I got the old lady's post, and I was so happy that I didn't sleep for half the night!"

I saw several girls from the Song family again, and gave them a meeting gift, each of them with a gold and jade ring, and saw that the girls accepted it generously, and did not look down on it, so I was relieved.

boasted in front of the old lady: "I saw the second girl before, it was really magnificent, and today I know that the old lady is still hiding so many fairies by her side, what a blessing!"

After Mrs. Sun praised her, her two girls came forward to see the old lady. The hearty and generous self is Mrs. Sun's biological daughter, and the delicate one is the daughter of Mrs. Sun's sister, only her mother died early, and she was taken by her grandmother to raise her, and she is a cousin!

The old lady and the second lady also gave a meeting gift, and the second lady gave a golden hairpin, and the old lady gave a pair of jade bracelets. Seeing this, the two girls didn't dare to take it, it was too precious, and Mrs. Sun was also precious.

The old lady smiled: "What is precious or not, I like it when I see you, I can't do it, and I will move around more in the future to get the love of the two families!"

The two bracelets are just water species and green, and even Su Su has several pieces. The old lady has always been generous, and what is precious in the eyes of the Sun family is really nothing in the Song family!

The old lady originally prepared a pair of inner hairpins inlaid with gold and silk, but after reading what Mrs. Sun gave to her girl, she was afraid that she would be embarrassed and replaced them with bracelets.

As soon as this was given, someone came again, this time it was the two families who arrived together, the Zhou family of the household department, and the Xue family of the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites. The two families brought five girls.

The Zhou family didn't mention it, but the Xue family had a long fate with the Song family. The master of the Xue family is the official of the Ministry of Rites who went to Yangzhou to proclaim the decree when the Song family was the uncle, and he was from the third grade back then, but now he has been promoted to the second grade, and he has jumped three levels in five years, which can be regarded as talented.

Mrs. Xue is over 50 years old this year, she has long been at the level of an old lady, and today she is bringing three granddaughters, the older one is fourteen, the younger one is eight years old, and the middle one is ten years old.

This old lady Xue is also from a famous family, her mother's family is a side branch of Zhenguo Gong, and the three girls she brought are very well educated.

Next, the old lady of the Marquis of Wenchang Mansion took the Marquis of Wenchang to lead the six undecided girls in the family, and it could be seen that they attached great importance to the Song family, and the old lady and everyone went to the gate to greet them.

The last to enter the door was Mrs. Changlebo, a bare one. And since the old lady was going to invite a few families, she had already inquired about the situation of the families. Although there are many concubines in Changle Boji, there has never been a concubine.

In addition to her two sons, Mrs. Changlebo has a daughter-in-law, who is twelve years old. Another uncle's family is not separated, and there are a few girls who have not been decided, but none of them have come today, I don't know what it means!

Sui'an Hall is not small, and it is full today.

When everyone saw the salute, the old lady said to the second girl, "You are not at ease in front of us, take your sisters to the garden to play." Then he said to the girls, "Be in your own home, and don't be restrained."

The girls gave a salute to the elders, and then went to the garden.

The old lady said to the ladies: "I have also invited a few small plays at home, and a few of them are good to sing, and I also invite you to taste and evaluate." Then he turned around and patted Su Su's hand, "Go and see if you're ready?" ”

Su Su had been following the old lady before, and lowered her head, but now she heard the old lady's instructions and walked out, and everyone couldn't help but secretly praise when they saw it: What a Peugeot person!

Today, Su Su is really not outstanding, a lotus-colored shirt, an aqua green skirt, a lotus-blue sweat towel wrapped around her waist, a little childish double bun, a pearl flower with only a jewel and pearl on one side, and a pair of pearl earrings on her ears. Only the rings and bracelets are more valuable, the style of double dragons playing with pearls, and the shrimp whiskers are braided with gold wire. But I can't stand people who look good and have a good temperament.

When Mrs. Wenchanghou saw Su Su, her heart jumped, but she only smiled on her face: "I didn't expect the old lady to hide such a lovely person, so that people like it when they see it."

The old lady smiled: "Don't praise her, she's a leather monkey!" Then he said to Su Su: "Go quickly, if the ladies are not satisfied, they will punish you!"

Su Su's eyes wandered, and he said crisply: "Why haven't you seen it with delicious and fun ladies?" Even if the slave maid did not do the errand well, only with the old lady's heart, the ladies were reluctant to punish the slave and maid. ”

That small appearance made several ladies laugh too. The old lady scolded with a smile: "Look at your big face, you didn't do your errand, and you still want the old lady to carry the black pot!"

After Su Su smiled and retreated, the old lady of Wenchang Hou praised: "What a ghost!"

Old Madam Xue also said, "What is the origin of this girl?" I think the maids around my sister are all good, but this one is the most special. ”

The old lady had the heart to make a face for Su Su, and sighed: "Su Su grew up beside me since she was a child, and if she is not afraid of jokes, although she is a maid, I will be half a granddaughter."

Then Mrs. Song talked about Su Su's life experience, which was like telling a story. If it is made into a play, one can be called "Touching the Heaven and Earth, the Filial Daughter Sells Her Body to Bury Her Father", and the other is called "Loyal Servant Savior, Fighting Wild Boars", only a few empty and lonely and boring, and they love to listen to some noble ladies who are loyal and filial piety when they have nothing to do, both sigh and pity!

After the old lady finished speaking, she saw that Mrs. Wenchanghou's face changed slightly, and her mind turned, and she knew what she was thinking. sighed secretly in his heart, and then said: "Originally, I was going to give her a naturalization, but in the end she is still young, and I can't leave him." I will stay for a few more years, and when the time comes, I will choose a good mother-in-law for her, and accompany her with more dowry, which will also be regarded as the friendship between our master and servant. ”

As soon as these words came out, the ladies were amazed, and it was also a good story for the loyal servant and benevolent lord.

Mrs. Wenchanghou secretly breathed a sigh of relief, such a maid is not for her uncle, so she can rest assured!

And the old lady of Wenchanghou had already seen that her daughter-in-law's face had changed slightly, and she shook her head in her heart, it was about her children, and no matter how smart a woman was, she would be upset.

Thinking with her toes, this girl will not be an aunt to her grandson-in-law! First, Mrs. Song was not confused to this point and offended the Marquis of Wenchang's mansion; The second is that Mrs. Song doesn't even care about the things in her son's room, so how can she go to her grandson's room to find dislike. Looking at her behavior, she is not a lot of things. It is also a blessing for my granddaughter to have such a grandmother!
