sat silently for a while, and soon, the old lady asked her daughter-in-law and grandchildren to go down, and sat on the couch in a daze, provoking pearls, jade, and agate for a while of comfort, Amber opened the curtain and went out, and said with a smile: "But thank you for the old lady for picking up such a treasure as Susu, who can read, write, and do arithmetic." ”

Amber said and showed the old lady a one-page booklet written by Su Su, "Look at it, it's much better than Dong Song's chicken feet, hurry up and send it to the big housekeeper Qiao (Grandpa Liu'er), his old man won't tell us to stand guard there." ”

When Mrs. Song heard this, she smiled and said, "Don't be cold, tell her to sue her grandmother, and only give you salt in the future." When Dong Song heard this, he came out and said, "If the old lady is not distressed, she will tell my grandmother not to even give me salt to Sister Amber in the future." ”

Amber pretended not to snuggle up to the old lady, and coaxed the old lady to say, "But I can't help it." Then looked at the account book copied by Su Su, wrote it well, called Su Su out, and saw her thin and thin body, "Good boy, I should let your sister Amber reward you well." Then he said, "Amber, didn't you say a few boxes of gadgets for the little girls to play with?" Pick out some good ones for your sister and pack a bag of bird's nest. ”

Su Su stood beside the old lady, her eyes full of admiration: "I heard that bird's nest is a good thing, I don't eat it, the old lady eats too much." ”

Hearing such childish words, the old lady and the big maids around her both smiled and pity. The old lady said: "Silly boy, since you know that bird's nest is a good thing, eat more, we don't lack that idea." ”

Although Su Su said that he was cute, his gratitude to this old lady was very sincere. Su Su has always been a person who you are good to me, then I want to be a better person for you, and I have made up my mind to be the best maid, and let the master get rid of her nationality in the future, so I will sell cuteness with peace of mind, and tell a joke that ancient people can accept, everyone laughed, and the old lady laughed and said: "You girl is also a narrow person." Just in time for Mama Qin to come in, she saw the old lady laughing, and when she heard Onyx tell the joke just now, she also smiled: "How else to say that the old lady has fiery eyes." ”

Mama Qin and Grandma Dongsong - Mama Xing, who is in charge of the small kitchen of Sui'an Tang, is the eldest maid who has followed the old lady since she was young, and she was married before, but unfortunately the man died of illness within two years, and she did not leave a son and a half daughter, and Mama Qin simply went into the house to serve the old lady again. Because she knows some medical skills, the girl in the house is looking for her when she is sick, and she does not shirk it, and her popularity is excellent.

The big maids and Mama Qin accompanied the old lady to play horse hanging, the second-class maids brought tea and poured water from time to time, the little maids were not too cold to kick the shuttlecock and jump the lattice outside, and the third-class maids gossiped in the ear room, somehow it came to Su Su.

"Alas, Ning Cui, is that little girl really that good? When she first came, she didn't talk about us, and Sister Amber took her into the inner room, so big-faced. ”

Ning Cui was only ten years old, and she was a little uncomfortable with the old lady and several sisters valuing Su Su so much, but when she thought that Su Su was so sincere in teaching them to read and write, she despised her for a while, and sneered when she heard this: "Su Su is literate and hyphenated, it is her ability to like the old lady who can do it, and no matter how much face she has, it is also given by the old lady, if you are not convinced, go to the old lady and say." ”

Bi Si was afraid of the noise, so she hurriedly said, "Okay, don't talk about it, Sister Pearl doesn't allow us to talk nonsense." As soon as they heard this, everyone stopped talking, and Sister Pearl didn't like to chew the root of her tongue the most on weekdays. However, except for Ning Cui Bisi, the rest of the third-class maids were a little resistant to Su Su.

Su Su copied the account book for an hour and was released by Amber to play with the little maids, where did Su Su play with them? Seeing Ning Cui Bisi making a purse, he sat aside and watched, ignoring the vague glances of others.

After a while, Sister Amber came out with a small mahogany carved box, "The old lady said that the New Year is coming soon, bring some jewelry for you to play with, and you are all dressed up happily." As he spoke, he placed the jewelry box on the table and said, "Pick four for each person"! The little maidens gathered around the table, chattering, you want this and that, Su Su people don't go forward, only wait for everyone to choose before they take four random things.

Amber looked at it coldly and nodded secretly, seeing that it was all picked, and there was half a box of jewelry, she casually let Dong Song behind her hold it, and then handed Su Su a big purse and an oiled paper bag, "The old lady praises you for your good words, this is a reward for you." After speaking, he looked at the other little maids and said, "Your errand is done well, and the old lady will naturally reward you." ”

Hearing this, everyone knew that the big girl was not in vain, and the little girls had already known about chewing their tongues just now, and they had already given face if they didn't let Sister Pearl come out and beat them. The face of the third-class maid who was making trouble with Ning Cui just now changed again and again, but Amber ignored her, and only called the rough maid and servant woman outside to come in, and each of them was rewarded with two pieces of jewelry.

The third-class maid really has nothing to do, the old lady has a cold relationship with her daughter-in-law and grandchildren, and there are few things to talk about, and Sister Pearl does not allow them to run around at will, and sometimes the second-class maid will teach them some skills of combing their hair, dressing up, making tea, and embroidery, like Ning Cui will follow the holly in the pantry when she is fine, and Bi Si will follow the agate who has just been promoted to the first class.

The old lady had lunch in the room at about twelve o'clock, it was still the routine of the morning, and Liu Er had not come back yet. After eating, it is the time for the old lady to take a nap, and at this time, the little maids can go back to their rooms to rest.

Ning Cui, Bi Si, and Su Su went back to the house and put away the reward they had won, Su Su opened the oil paper bag, it was a bag of broken swallows, although it was broken, it was a serious official swallow, which was also very good. Su Su smiled: "Let's eat together, don't say that the old lady rewarded good things, I don't remember you." I opened the big purse again, and there were several kinds of jewelry, all of which were good, especially a string of tourmaline beads, which did not look like a reward for the little maids to wear, and I knew that Sister Amber had specially picked it.

Su Su put these things on the table, "If you have anything you like, put it away, I'll be generous this time." Let Ning Cui Bisi and the two of them be both moved and funny, and they didn't shirk it, they both chose one they liked, and they also chose one for Liu'er.

In the afternoon, Su Su did not copy the account book, but the outer library of the warehouse with Dong Song, the work is not heavy but it needs to be careful, everything must be numbered in the book, and the lack of less must be written down, and it is very tired after half a day. As for the old lady's private vault, it was sorted out by Sister Amber herself, and even Dong Song could only look at it and couldn't get started.
