The most important thing in August is the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, the Song Mansion is naturally very busy and lively, and the festival gifts sent out and sent in made Su Su not go out of the warehouse for half a month.

On August 13, the eldest grandson of the Song Mansion had already invited Song Qinghe, the eldest young master who had been crowned the prince of the Bofu, to come with a boat of festival gifts, including not only the big room and the second room to honor the old lady, but also the palace saint and the concubine Xi Niangniang to reward the old lady and the masters of the third room.

Since the eldest aunt and wife sealed the Xi concubine, the festival gifts rewarded in the palace are not bad, and after being promoted to the Xi concubine, the various rewards have more than doubled. The good things of the Song Mansion have gone to the sea, and they don't covet this idea, but when everything involves the palace, it is labeled as "made inside", which naturally represents the holy grace and is very decent.

Naturally, these rewards should be scattered, and those that should be left behind should be registered.

The things that the mother gave to the two girls in the third room and the big room and the second room were also sent to Sui'an Hall, Su Su sorted out and copied a gift list and asked people to send it to the five girls and the six girls together with the reward, and then came to the main room with the gift list, and the eldest young master was also there, and now he should be called the son of the world.

In the room, only Mama Qin was on the side, Su Su came in with a gift list, and just heard the prince say: "The little princess is getting better and better, and she is very favored by the saint, and the mother said that it is good to let the grandmother go back to Beijing to live, although they can't see each other from time to time, but the saint and the queen mother are merciful, and the master Niangniang who is above the concubine can summon her mother's family once a month." My father is also looking forward to my grandmother's return to Beijing! ”

The old lady sighed and said, "Wait, now that money is being made everywhere, there are some things, your third uncle must always have someone who can be discussed." After two or three years, your third uncle will take over all the things here, and I will rest assured. Go back and tell your father, my mother is already difficult in the palace, and our family must not support her. Niang Niang is a smart person, and there are things you can discuss with her more! ”

The son of the world should be a little bit of the head. Then he blushed a little and said: "My father has set a family affair for his grandson, and the second aunt has also ordered a family affair for the second sister and the third sister." Speaking of the latter one, his tone was a little hesitant.

When the old lady saw him like this, what else did she not know, and said: "Your father has already written to say that the concubine of the Marquis of Wenchang, as one of the six major marquis mansions of the founding of the country, is a nobleman, but also the leader of the literati and the clear stream. The Marquis of Wenchang married the youngest sister of the current saint, Princess Wuyue, and was very loved by the saint and the queen mother. Being able to settle this family business is your character that has entered the eyes of Marquis Wenchang. ”

The old lady still loves this eldest grandson very much, not that kind of gentleman, now seventeen years old is already a person, Shun'an Bofu is now considered an upstart, as soon as he enters Beijing, many people inquire about each other, and only in the early summer of this year did he decide the second daughter of Wen Changhou. Song Qinghe will also participate in the imperial examination in the coming year, if he wins the Jinshi in one fell swoop, and he is the son of Bofu, this family business is not high.

Then the old lady sneered again: "Who is your second aunt for the second girl and the third girl?" I've never heard of it. Previously, your second uncle donated to the official position, and she hired an aunt to accompany your second uncle without any rumors, what is the idea now? ”

Song Qinghe was also a little difficult to speak, in the end, he shouldn't have said this, but his own father was afraid that his grandmother would anger him, so he actually handed over this matter to himself, and he had never seen such a pit son.

Thinking of this, Song Qinghe simply broke the jar and said: "The second aunt didn't discuss it with my father and second uncle at all, and the family never heard of any letters, only the second aunt went out to be a guest a few times, and when my father knew, the Geng stickers were changed." The second sister is the second son of Chang Lebo, and the third sister is the second son of Yongping Bo, who should fill the house! ”

Speaking of the second girl, the old lady still looked as usual, as soon as she heard the third girl's family affairs, her face turned blue with anger, and she dropped the tea bowl on the spot, so frightened that Mama Qin hung her back and patted her chest, Su Su also hurriedly came in, and hurriedly took a pill of Heart Nourishing Pill from her purse and fed it to the old lady.

The old lady came back to her senses, and in a blink of an eye, she burst into tears, "What kind of sin is this, our family's delicate girl, she actually wants to fill the house for others?" Su Su, quickly write a letter to your second master and ask him to come back and divorce his wife, such a daughter-in-law's family is very bad. Go back with your brother, let people send your third sister and fourth sister back, and I will protect my granddaughter! ”

Song Qinghe hurriedly knelt down, "Grandmother, don't be angry, it's the grandson who is not good, the grandson will go back and send the two younger sisters back, only the second uncle is a foreign officer, and he can't leave the jurisdiction without the holy call, as for the second aunt, please also ask the grandmother for the sake of the second sister and the seventh brother, and take it lightly!" ”

After the old lady has gone through some of the world, she also knows that she is confused, and the Shun'an Bo Mansion is now on the cusp, after entering Beijing, because there are flat wives and eldest sons in the house, it has made people see enough jokes, and even the concubine Xi Niangniang in the palace has no face, and it took a long time to fade down.

That gang of sons Yushi has nothing to do all day long to study the short of the east and the west, and they have to pick out the bones in the eggs, and now they are divorced, and the eldest son and the second son can't run away from the crime of not governing the family strictly.

The old lady thought for a while and said: "After fifteen, you will go back, and I will also give your father a word, I can't control how the second girl is, but the third girl is a good girl must not go to fill the house and give the third girl a retreat." When I go back, I'll send back your two sisters and I have a lot of hair. As for your second aunt, I will personally write a letter to your second uncle, and if you are a father, you can't even protect your own children, and you don't have to be an official! Song Qinghe didn't disagree.

Su Su took the gift list at this time and said: "Old lady, take a look, the eldest lord, the second lord don't say, even the mother and the little princess in the palace are also filial piety and worry, the Dragon Boat Festival just sent a large cart of things, and now the Mid-Autumn Festival has come to a boat, and the slaves and maids are dazzled." Among them, there is actually a set of soup molds, said to be given to her grandmother by the eldest princess, but one inch square, one foot long, chiseled with the size of beans, there are chrysanthemums, plum blossoms, lotus flowers, water chestnuts, a total of thirty or forty kinds, very fine. Only the inner creation is still second, only the heart of the mother and the little princess, and I still think of you when I eat a soup! ”

The old lady took the gift sheet and looked at it, and sure enough, the first item on the first page was that she saw that the handwriting was actually written by her daughter, so she smiled, and Mama Qin also praised how the mother was and how the little princess was. Song Qinghe secretly wiped his sweat and arched his hand to Su Su to express his gratitude.

The old lady also knew that Su Su and Mama Qin were coaxing her, afraid that she would be angry. Knowing that the older I am now, the more left-minded I am, and I can't solve the problem if I'm angry, so I just let it go first.

sent his grandson back to rest, recruited a few big maids in, and said with a smile: "The palace lady is the most generous, but the fifteenth is the birthday of the little princess, and this is also the joy of the princess." The palace rewarded a lot of good materials, but also decent, Su Su and the four of you each have two satin, two leos, two purses, two palace fans, two strings of red agate beads, the second-class maid is halved according to your example, the third-class went to the palace fan, a number of beads, and the rough one was rewarded with two purses. ”

The old lady is not stingy on weekdays, but this time she is even more generous, and everyone who serves in the house is happy to thank you.

Although the birthday gift prepared for the little princess had already been delivered, now the old lady told Su Su to find a few things and bring them to the little princess when the prince returned to Beijing.

Su Su thought for a while and said: "The things sent by the caravan before May have all been put away, and there is a set of matryoshka dolls from Russia, twelve large and small, which are very novel; There is also a music box, which is exquisitely made; There is also a set of zodiac handles carved with the best mutton fat jade, all of which are half the size of a fist, and the eyes are inlaid with various colored gemstones, which are vivid, and the slave and maid ponder that the little princess will also like it. In addition, a few days ago, Qiaoweaving Pavilion sent a few new yarns for weaving and dyeing, peach pink with pearlescent, it is called pearlescent powder, such a yarn is suitable for little girls, and in addition to our house, there is no other place for the time being, just to send it to the princess. ”

The old lady nodded with satisfaction and said, "What's not in the palace?" What we send is only a novelty and a heart. ”

Then he smiled again: "The old guy of the shopkeeper Dong has a good calculation!" Seeing that Su Su was a little puzzled, he explained: "At this time, the leno material can't be worn for a few days, and this new yarn is originally prepared for next summer." There is a princess in our family, and if she gets any novelty, she will be sent to the palace first, and the shopkeeper Dong calculated this accurately before sending it to the palace in advance. Next year, the yarn will be in short supply in the capital! ”

Su Su slapped his forehead a few times, "The slave didn't expect this, the shopkeeper Dong really deserves to be personally selected by the old lady, this brain is turning, if you don't accept it!" ”

The old lady smiled: "You are still young, you have to learn more in the future!" Then he said: "Take four horses to the princess for the new yarn, and then take out two horses and divide them for the five girls and six girls, and keep the rest for the three girls and the four girls, I remember that there are still a few horses in the library, the colors are bright, and it is a pity if the white is moldy, take out two horses and divide the four of you, and it is good to make clothes and tents!"

Yang Liu smiled on the side: "The old lady has rewarded so many good things today, the slave is worried about why she doesn't have seven or eight hands, and she can't hold it with two hands!"

Su Su smiled: "My sister can't take it, I'll help my sister get half of it, I can take it all back!" Yang Liu pinched Su Su, "Phew, do you want to bring it back to your house or mine, and it enters your hand, can I still want this thing back?" The two of them deliberately pretended to be greedy for money, which made the old lady laugh non-stop.

Su Su was very busy, and after a while, he went back to the warehouse, and the big and small maids in the yard all got the letter, knowing that the old lady had rewarded a lot of things, and seeing Su Su as if he had seen the God of Wealth, he smiled even more happily.

Su Su went back to the treasury and took Ningxiang Wutong to clean up for a while, before sorting out the things that were rewarded to the subordinates, and instructed the maids and women to come and collect them when they were not on duty.

Su Su took four horses of pearlescent powder and put them into a large red sandalwood box, and titheed the few delicate things he said one by one in a box, and put them together with the new yarn, and labeled them for the little princess. Looking back, seeing that the two little girls were busy sweating profusely, but they were not tired, Su Su took two purses, each with two silver bills weighing six coins for them, and said, "Take it and play!"

These days, the two of them are familiar with Su Su, so they took it with a smile, and Su Su couldn't help but nod a few more words to them: "You are also clear about what rewards the maids and servants in this courtyard have received, and you should also understand it, serve the old lady well, do your errands well, what good things are not?" Even the rough ones got two inner-made purses, not to mention the gold and silver bills inside, but only the purse cost one or two taels of silver, which is your monthly money for several months? ”

The two nodded obediently: "Sister is right, we must be on an errand!"
