Chapter 22: Reward
Su Su said which card she was, Yang Liu was so angry that she shook her hand on the spot, sat on the stool, turned around and ignored her, saw Su Su didn't speak, and couldn't help but say: "It's the palace lady who saw us, and also rewarded the jewelry made inside, and gave you the rouge gouache used in the purse." Am I five or six taels of gold? We are the most favored maids in front of the old lady, and if we don't take us seriously, we don't value the old lady. Am I not afraid of another eldest lady and a second lady? ”
When Su Su heard this, she hurriedly stepped forward to gag her: "Good sister, be quiet, I can't be wrong." Xu is the young lady's family is such a rule! ”
Yang Liu saw that Su Su did not forget to explain to the eldest young lady, and said angrily: "Just your good sex!" Go to your kitchen and don't let me see you again for a while. Angry with the individual! ”
Su Su hurriedly smiled: "Yes, yes, I'll disappear!" That look made Yang Liu "flutter" and nodded at Su Su's forehead, "You!" ”
Su Su and Yang Liu hid this matter in the end. The old lady was very satisfied with the granddaughter-in-law's family and character, and it was not good to block her with these trivial things.
And Su Su also knew that someone must have given him eye medicine and chewed the root of his tongue. These people are either from the eldest lady's courtyard, or the second lady's courtyard, or both, and it is inevitable that the eldest and young ladies will not want to see her.
Early in the morning, at half past six, all the masters and relatives in the house gathered in Sui'an Hall, just because today is the first day of the new daughter-in-law's entry into the door, to see her aunt.
After a while, the prince came with the eldest young lady. Today, a young lady wears a red gold-trimmed embroidered butterfly placket jacket, and a garnet red and gold thread embroidered phoenix tail skirt underneath.
The black hair is curled into a fallen horse bun, a red gold inlaid with red phoenix pearl tassel is inserted obliquely on the left side, a palm-sized red coral inlaid citrine peony sideburns on the right sideburns, and a red gold and red treasure butterfly is pressed on the back of the head. The red gold collar with eight treasures inlaid with a claw pattern on the neck, a mutton fat jade Ruyi cloud lock piece is pendantd, and on the ears is a pair of ruby earrings, which looks like a fairy concubine.
He Shizi is a talented woman, what a pair of beautiful people!
"Please ask the prince and the young lady to give tea to the old lady!" There was already a little maid who put the cotton pad of the big red embroidered double happiness, and the prince and the young lady both kowtowed to the old lady, took the tea and said in unison: "Please grandmother drink tea!"
The old lady took her grandson's first, took a sip, and then took her granddaughter-in-law's, also took a sip, accepted Zhao Lanzhi's set of clothes with a smile, and gave the prepared gift to her granddaughter-in-law, asked someone to help the two of them, and said: "You are the eldest son and eldest grandson of our family, and the eldest granddaughter-in-law, you must be filial to your elders and love your brothers and sisters."
The old lady looked at the eldest young lady and nodded, and said with a smile: "Of course, if Qinghe bullies you, grandmother will definitely be in charge of you!" Everyone let out a good-natured laugh, and Zhao Lanzhi's face was flushed with shame.
After that, he gave a gift to his in-laws and aunts.
The eldest lady said a few words lukewarmly, and then let people get up under the pressure of the eldest lord and gave a pair of bracelets.
The second lady was rare and polite, "I heard that my nephew and daughter-in-law are famous talented women in the capital, and they will come to my yard to sit in the future." Seeing that she didn't mention the second master, the old lady was also speechless for this selfish daughter-in-law, and hurriedly said: "Your second uncle is working outside, although he can't rush back, he also asked someone to send a meeting gift to his nephew and daughter-in-law, and someone will send it to you in a while."
Zhao Lanzhi responded with a smile, and met the third master and the third lady, the third lady took a pair of shoes from her nephew and daughter-in-law, and said with a smile: "I am still thinking about when I can wear the shoes made by my daughter-in-law, and now I look at it, the nephew and daughter-in-law have the same filial piety!"
Zhao Lanzhi knew that although these three rooms were concubines, they had always been close to their brothers-in-law, and these three aunts were the nieces of the old lady.
Hearing this, Zhao Lanzhi blushed and said, "That third aunt wants to hurt me more!" The third lady smiled: "I love you, I love you!"
Next are the relatives from all walks of life, and then there are the young masters and girls of the same generation.
This time, Zhao Lanzhi didn't send needles and threads, showing the heritage of the Marquis of Wenchang, what was given to the little uncles was a set of four treasures of the study that was difficult to buy with money, and what was given to the sisters-in-law was two hairpin rings made inside, which made people have to praise!
After breakfast, the eldest young lady was going to serve the old lady, but the old lady hurriedly asked Su Su to invite her to sit down, and said with a smile: "There are no such rules in our family, your mother-in-law and the two aunts have been in the door for almost 20 years, and I have never let them serve." When the eldest lady who wanted to pose for her mother-in-law heard this, she also hurriedly asked her daughter-in-law to sit down.
After the young lady sat down, the old lady said: "We have small kitchens in each yard, and we don't eat together on weekdays, so I only let your mother-in-law come over on the fifteenth day of the new year to say goodbye." Now that you have entered the door, it is the same as if you are not busy on weekdays, it is good to come and sit down, or play with your sisters, and help me teach them. ”
The young lady nodded her head, her mother-in-law is not a good match, and she is short-sighted, if she really wants to rectify her daughter-in-law, she can only bear it! But today, after my grandmother turned her words, she asked her to make rules, and my mother-in-law had to think about it. After all, she herself has never made rules in front of her mother-in-law!
Zhao Lanzhi now feels that she can marry a person like Shizi, and have such an open-minded and kind grandmother, even if her mother-in-law is unkind, it is nothing.
After the meal, the prince and his daughter-in-law returned to Qingfeng Xuan, and the prince asked the maids in the house to retreat, and then hugged his beautiful lady and said, "But it still hurts?" made Zhao Lanzhi's face fly red again, and she was ashamed.
When the prince saw it, he smirked, but he didn't want to annoy Mei Jiaoniang, so he was busy changing the topic. "Look at what good things Grandmother gave?"
Zhao Lanzhi smiled: "Grandmother gave it to me, why did she show it to you?"
"Good! As soon as they became pro, they separated you and me from each other, this rule is unacceptable! ”
The two laughed for a while before they watched the meeting gift they received today.
The old lady gave a pair of mutton fat jade Ruyi, although it was not as precious as the one given by the saint. There is also a set of ruby heads and a set of sapphire heads.
The eldest lord directly gave a silver ticket of 10,000 taels, and the eldest lady gave a pair of jade bracelets, which were ice violet, which was also considered to be a shot, but Song Qinghe was also a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Zhao Lanzhi didn't know his psychology, and secretly was embarrassed by the Song family's generosity, but fortunately, the things she prepared for her brother-in-law and sister-in-law were also valuable, and she didn't lose face! After a while, the old lady asked the second master to send them over, which were two fiery coral trees. The pair of hairpins inlaid with red gold inlaid by the second lady of the inverted were dim
The third old man and his wife gave a silver ticket of 5,000 taels, which was simple. Song Qinghe said with a smile: "The third uncle and the third aunt are all cheerful, and they give the silver directly, but they don't treat you as an outsider!"
Zhao Lanzhi also said: "I also like the temperament of the third aunt"
I also looked at what my relatives gave, and they were all precious and extraordinary.
"You wait for me for a while!" After speaking, Shizi walked out of the main room, came to the study in the front yard, took two boxes, and then returned to the house. I gave the box to my daughter-in-law.
"Our family has three houses, and now it is divided into property and not divided into families, when we got married, the public took out 80,000 taels, my grandmother added 20,000 taels, and my father gave 50,000 taels, all of which were dowry. One of them is my private room, and the other is another 100,000 taels from my grandmother and 50,000 taels from my father. You've got it all set. ”
Zhao Lanzhi was surprised and delighted in her heart, she didn't expect Xianggong to value herself so much, and handed over her private money as soon as she entered the door.
"You also need money when you go out, I just know your intentions."
Song Qinghe said with a smile: "I use the money to care if you want, you can take it, even if I inherit the knighthood in the future, before we divide this house, these are all our net worth, except for the monthly and seasonal clothes and jewelry, the house will not give anything else." The Song family has always been unspoiled when raising boys. Zhao Lanzhi accepted it.
After that, the prince called Qingfeng Xuan's subordinates to meet the eldest and young lady, and while they were meeting here, the old lady and the third lady called someone to send all the keys and account books in various parts of the house, and asked the daughters-in-law of the housekeepers to come and talk back.
Although Zhao Lanzhi knew that she had said it when she entered the door, she didn't expect it to be so fast.
Song Qinghe smiled: "I'm tired of the lady!" The third aunt will go back to Yangzhou with the third uncle in a few days, and now that your grandmother is pressing you down, you should hurry up and get started. Grandmother has never been in charge, if you don't know anything, just ask the third sister, the fourth sister and Su Su in the grandmother's yard. It's just that I want to explain to you, although Su Su is still in our house, my grandmother has instructed me to handle Su Su's denaturalization. Of course, even if she is out of her nationality, she still has to be in our house, and her grandmother can't leave her. Her grandmother is in charge of her marriage, and she must not be treated as an ordinary subordinate. ”
Zhao Lanzhi remembered how she gave Su Su a disgrace yesterday, and she felt embarrassed when she heard her father-in-law say it. Thinking of the bag of gold bills that made people reward Su Su, he was embarrassed to say it to Xianggong, but he thought that it would not be like this next time, but he was a little weak-hearted, so he nodded but didn't speak!
Shizi only thinks that the little lady doesn't care about it, but it's not easy to say anything, after all, Su Su is indeed a maid, but he believes that his wife will not look down on her after understanding Su Su's character!
Thinking of Su Su, I sighed in my heart, which man is not lustful, but it can't be said! Now that he has married a wife, he puts that trace of young love in his heart, and treats his wife well, so as not to defile that pure feeling!
Before lunch, someone came to the palace, it was the eunuch of Weiyang Palace and the eunuch Huang Gonggong who was in charge of Concubine Xi's mother, and the eunuch brought the will of the official canonization of Mrs. Shizi. There is also the grade makeup of Mrs. Shizi.
Huang Gonggong brought a gift from Concubine Xi to her nephew and daughter-in-law, and gave the grace of entering the palace after returning to the door of the three dynasties.
After that, the eldest lord took the eunuch to drink tea, and Huang Gonggong said, "Which one is Miss Susu?"
Su Su, who was standing behind the old lady, was called out, "Su Su has seen her father-in-law. ”
That Huang Gonggong is white and chubby, in his forties, I heard that Concubine Xi has been a eunuch by his side since he first entered the Rongwang Mansion, and his loyalty to Concubine Xi is beyond doubt.
Huang Gonggong was also stunned when he saw Su Su, but he saw a lot of beauties in the palace, and he was a rootless eunuch, so he only sighed: "No wonder the mother and the princess went back to the palace, and read it in their hearts, the people around the old lady are really good!"
The old lady secretly patted Su Su's hand, and said with a smile on her face.
Gonggong Huang pointed to another big box on the ground and said: "The incense blended by Miss Susu is praised by the saint and the nobles in the palace.
Su Su hurriedly bowed three times in the direction of Weiyang Palace, "Thank you for the reward." The old lady also said: "It is the benevolence of the noble lords." The incense made by Su Su was originally unique, but there was a set of incense recipes and molds, so I bothered my father-in-law to bring it into the palace and present it to the mother! ”
Huang Gonggong nodded, and secretly sighed in his heart that his mother's intelligence must have followed Mrs. Song.
The two fathers-in-law left with a large bounty and the incense mold, and the box containing the mother's reward, the old lady directly called someone into the Susu house.
The old lady stroked Su Su's face in private and said, "Good boy, don't be afraid, with these things in the future, no one can underestimate you!"
Su Su lay in the arms of the old lady, tears wet her eyes, "There is an old lady, Su Su is not afraid!" ”
The eldest young lady (later known as Mrs. Shizi) entered the door, for the Song family, there was no change on the surface, but secretly the status in the capital was rising.
The relatives are also going back to Yangzhou. The Song family has a housekeeper with Mrs. Shizi, and the third lady is also a lot more relieved, and her dedication during this period of time is just looking forward to her niece and daughter-in-law taking more care of her daughter!
As for the matter of the fifth girl, the anger of the third master after receiving the news has almost worn off after so many days, after all, it is his own daughter, and the other children are in the capital, how can he not think about it when he takes her back to Yangzhou alone.
In addition, the second aunt and the third aunt both left their children to be raised by their grandmother, so that outsiders knew that their granddaughter was still staying, but their granddaughter was sent away, which is not good!
After the third master and the old lady chatted carefully, the fifth girl stayed.
And the fifth girl also swore and cursed, only saying that she had been deceived, and the old lady looked at the face of the third master, and it was not easy to say that she would be left behind.
Because there were two more granddaughters, they lived with their grandmother, but fortunately the east and west wings were still empty, so they asked the two cousins to live in the east wing, and went to school and played with the sisters, but they were also harmonious.
The second aunt brought a young girl, named Fangqing, the same age as the five girls, but different from the five girls, who are delicate and weak, they look very round and cute, and if you look closely, she is a little similar to the eldest aunt's wife, that is, the concubine Xi Niangniang in the palace. Naturally, she looks like a beauty, and her temperament is also very gentle and generous.
Mrs. Sangu brought a son and a daughter, and her son Zhao Yi'an is fifteen years old, he is a famous talent, he looks very delicate, not to mention, and his temperament is not like a Yanei, in the words of later generations, it is a little sissy, which makes Mrs. Sangu very worried. Regardless of the opposition of his mother-in-law, he insisted on sending his son to his mother's house. Several nephews are good, and I just hope that my son will learn from my cousins and cousins.
And Miss Zhao Yishu insisted on following, although she was not her own grandmother, but Mrs. Song loved them very much. Although they are not close, they only see each other once a year, and Zhao Yishu also likes her grandmother and a few cousins very much.
Zhao Yishu is only eight years old this year, younger than the sixth girl, and she is also pampered at home. The third aunt didn't want to take her to Beijing, but she cried, which made the third aunt frown, although she was reluctant to let her daughter leave her side, but her daughter's rules were indeed not as good as a few girls in the Song family, so she simply took her with her.
This Zhao cousin girl is a little arrogant, but she is not unreasonable, but she is very simple, good-looking, and sweet, which is very liked by the old lady.
Although the relatives are gone, the Song family has two more cousins and a wife, and it is also very lively.
