After the New Year, the good news came from the capital, the Xi concubine who was over 30 years old was pregnant, the Shun'an Bo Mansion was boiling, and a large number of precious objects were transported from Yangzhou to the capital with a large amount of silver. It was only because of the grace of the saint that the family of Concubine Xi was allowed to visit in Beijing.

Because the maids brought are limited, every maid wants to compete to enter Beijing, Su Sudao himself is from the suburbs of Beijing, so there is no need to join in the fun this time, so Su Su stayed, so that the old lady paid more attention to Su Su's conduct.

From Yangzhou to the capital and back, this trip took nearly half a year, when the old lady came back, Sister Pearl was already a three-month bride, Su Su and a few maids who did not follow to the capital also went to join in the fun, that is, the old lady was not there, and the family affairs were also very decent, the three dynasties returned to the door, Sister Pearl took the pearl brother-in-law and kowtowed outside Sui'an Hall, and the third lady prepared a car of things according to the old lady's instructions, and gave Sister Pearl a long face.

After the old lady came back, she gave another stern lecture to the people in the house, and the general meaning was the same as the last time, nothing more than to be cautious and careful, not to bully others, etc. The Song family is known for its kindness, and no one wants the family to be swept away, but there are some rules for official eunuchs.

Time passed like flowing water, Su Su was getting bigger and bigger year by year, and he was getting better and better every year. These old ladies are more and more partial to her because of Su Su's thoughtfulness, and when she is raised like a granddaughter, she looks at Su Su's face from time to time and sighs.

Five years have passed like this, and in the past five years, the changes in the Song family can be described as earth-shaking. Xi Concubine Niangniang gave birth to a princess, although it is difficult to get pregnant after hurting the body, but also promoted to the second concubine position, the princess was one year old when the emperor Jiaen Princess was outside the family, in the capital to give the Bofu, the big house and the second room moved into the capital three years ago, the eldest lord was enclosed into the household. The second master also became an official and went to the coast with a concubine. The old lady and the third room stayed in Yangzhou, first, the Song family's relatives were all in Yangzhou, and secondly, Yangzhou was the foundation and retreat of the Song family, so someone naturally needed to sit in charge.

Su Su is thirteen years old and has been in this world for six years. Three years ago, Amber's sister got married, Dong Song was promoted to the first class, and Su Su was promoted to the second class. Half a month ago, Sister Dongsong also got married, and Su Su became a veritable big girl, and she was also the youngest big girl in Sui'an Tang.

The second-class maid who knew each other at the beginning had already married, and Su Su, Bisi, Ning Cui, and Yang Liu, who lived in one room at the beginning, became the first class in the old lady's room, and the four of them spent more time together than with their parents and relatives, and they had already formed a sister-like friendship, and the other three were also sixteen years old, and they were slim.

The whole Yangzhou Mansion knows that the maid who went out of the old lady's room in Shun'an Bo Mansion is the daughter of the landlord's family is also incomparable, not only good looking, good line, it is rare to be literate and hyphenated, and there is an endless stream of dowries who come to the door to ask for relatives.

As soon as it was dawn, Su Su opened his eyes, took out the pocket watch next to the pillow and looked at it, it was five o'clock in a few minutes. Su Su, who used to love to sleep lazy, has long developed a good habit of going to bed early and getting up early. Looking at the gauze tent sprinkled with pink cherry blossom petals overhead, Su Su lay on the bed for about five minutes before lifting the tent and getting out of bed.

Now she has become a big girl, and she has her own separate room, which is not only more spacious than when she was a little girl, but also has a bedroom, living room, and bathroom, and the furniture is red and sour.

Su Su first bypassed the screen outside the bedroom to the living room, where a set of tables and chairs were placed on the ground in the middle of the living room, and a set of tea sets painted with magpies and plum branches were placed on the table. Under the south window, the low kang is covered with silver-red soft felt, bamboo silk mat, and there is a kang table on it, and now it is summer, and a blue and white amphora is inserted with a few budding lotus flowers.

Su Su first drank a cup of tea Chozi still warm white water, and then opened the door with a sigh of relief.

Su Su didn't need to be served by the little maid, he brushed his teeth and washed his face with water, returned to the bedroom, opened the four-door wardrobe with red acid branches inlaid with luodian carved entwined branches and lotus patterns, and chose clothes, and then sat in front of the dresser with a half-person high inlaid large mercury mirror and wiped his hands and face with a small box of snow skin cream for ten taels of silver.

She doesn't like to use rouge gouache, so she only picked a paste-like lip grease and applied it to her lips. The long black and shiny hair was pulled into a childlike hanging bun, the eyebrows and long bangs covered the smooth forehead, covering the three-point posture, only two beaded flowers were worn on the head, earrings, bracelets, sweat towels were tied, purses and sachets handkerchiefs were hung, and they went out after packing up, and they were also called "Sister Susu" along the way.

Someone behind her patted Su Su, she turned her head and said with a smile: "I got up early today!" ”

The visitor was wearing a silver-red muslin shirt, a moon-white skirt, a long emerald green silk ribbon tied around his waist, a purse sachet hanging, a double snail bun, a pair of red gold beaded hairpins, a round face and apricot eyes, and a pair of ruby earrings on ingot-like ears, which were the willows that grew up together. It looks like a big grin, but the behavior is so that people can't find a little mistake, and now she has also taken the errand of Sister Pearl back then, and she is the big maid in charge of Sui'an Hall, so that a little maid is like a mouse seeing a cat.

Yang Liu smiled and said, "Can I not get up early?" Today is the day when Zhao's mother comes, every time Zhao's mother comes in the past few years, you are like looking forward to the stars and the moon, I don't entertain well, our sister Susu is afraid that she won't be able to spare me. ”

The two laughed and came to the main room, at this time the old lady had not gotten up yet, it was Ning Cui who was on duty at night, and Bi Si was good at embroidery and careful, so she took care of the old lady's clothes and jewelry, and dressed up.

Changed Ning Cui and went to the backyard to wash and change clothes, and after a while, the old lady lifted the bed tent and got up, Su Su, three big maids and six second-class servants waited for the old lady to change clothes, wash, comb her hair and dress up. Maybe it's because of the comfortable life in the past few years, when Su Su is fine, she pampers the old lady to put on a mask and soak in a milk bath or something, and the old lady looks younger than a few years ago.

I saw that she was wearing a snow-blue mid-shirt, a coat with a meat foundation and a Fushou auspicious pattern with a collar and navy blue satin facing the placket, and a royal blue sprinkled satin knee-covering blue and white horse-faced skirt. Combed in a round bun, only inserted a mutton fat white jade longevity hairpin, wearing a royal blue inlaid rice bead bat pattern of fine forehead, wrists are two mutton fat white jade carved round bracelets, and a pair of white jade gourd pendants are hanging on the ears.

Su Su picked out a flower-shaped collar buckle with red gold inlaid with white jade and ruby from the jewelry box and pinned it to the stand-up collar of the middle coat, and said with a smile: "I want to change errands with Sister Bisi, and I dress the old lady like a fairy all day long, what a sense of accomplishment!" The old lady smiled: "It's all an old woman, what kind of fairy?" Don't let people think I'm an old monster and I'm Amitabha! ”
