Everyone served the old lady for breakfast, and then changed shifts and went to eat.

This is the first day of the new year, even if the big house and the second room moved to the capital, the rules of the first fifteenth day of the new year have not changed. After a while, the third lady brought the sixth young master, the fifth girl, and the sixth girl over to greet the old lady.

The fifth young master is twelve years old this year, and he has already moved to the outer courtyard, and there is only one day off every month, and the sixth young master is about to be six years old, and he has also moved to the outer courtyard. The fifth girl is eleven years old this year, and she looks like a beauty, but in the end, she is a concubine, soft and weak, and she doesn't like to talk. The sixth girl is nine years old, and she has been raised by the old lady's side since she was a child, accompanied by a room of beautiful maids, and she has developed a temper that is not a beauty and does not let her get close, which makes the third lady worry about the boss, and she does not bother to raise her son so much.

At about nine o'clock, the little maid outside spread the word that Zhao's mother had arrived. The third lady now does not have a big house and two rooms to suppress, she has a housekeeper, and her temperament is becoming more and more cheerful, when she heard that Zhao's mother was coming, she said to the old lady: "This Zhao Yapo is a good one, and the people who sent it to our house in previous years have to use it." ”

The old lady also sighed: "This person must have a basic conscience in life and work, and Zhao Yapo is also a person who knows how to accumulate virtue." After speaking, he said to Su Su: "Go and welcome Mother Zhao, and it will not be in vain for you to have a relationship." ”

Su Su also smiled: "If it weren't for Mother Zhao sending Su Su to Yangzhou, where would Su Su be able to serve by the old lady's side." It's hard to thank Zhao's mother. ”

Su Su went out with the curtain, and Zhao's mother was waiting outside Sui'an Hall, and saw a girl getting closer and closer from a distance, and when she came to the front, she was stunned for a moment when she saw the appearance, and her heart was mixed.

Su Su looks like Aunt Su has seven images, but she is more beautiful than Aunt Su, and her temperament is better, just wearing a white silk shirt, light green embroidered with a lotus flower placket, tied a light yellow gauze skirt, and wearing a pair of emerald green jade pendants on her ears to line her little face with more and more white and pink.

Although there are thick bangs to cover, but those eyes have already added ten colors to the whole face, and they are three points more beautiful than when they met a year ago.

Su Su saw that Zhao's mother was stunned and looked at herself, and she also knew the lethality of her face, so she only smiled lightly: "Mom, have you always been good lately?" ”

The little maid who came with Mother Zhao was already dumbfounded, but now when she heard Su Su speak, she sighed in her heart, and even her voice was so good! Mother Zhao came back to her senses and smiled: "It's all good." Saying that, he took Su Su's hand, "I always say that the old lady in the house will train people, and seeing how you are now, my mother won't dare to admit it!" Secretly stuffed a small paper ball to Su Su, Su Su quietly stuffed it into her belt, pulled Zhao's mother and said, "The old lady asked me to welcome my mother in!" ”

Mother Zhao entered the house and first met the old lady and the third lady, and the old lady smiled and said, "Quickly move a stool for Mother Zhao." Today's Su Su already knows that an identity like Zhao's mother is not qualified to sit in a guest seat in front of nobles, and it is already a very face-saving thing for the host to give a stool and embroidered pier.

After Zhao's mother sat down, she said: "I haven't seen the old lady for two years, you are getting younger and younger, just saw Su Su, fairy-like appearance, this is a room full of fairies when I enter the house, but let the old woman and I see the world." ”

The third lady smiled and said: "Isn't what Mother Zhao said exactly, now that my aunt and I are going out, it is not like the two of us, and it is said that the two sisters are believed!" The old lady nodded at the third lady and scolded with a smile: "I can talk nonsense, then I won't really become an old goblin!" He smiled as well.

Mother Zhao traveled south and north, and she was a woman in the capital, and she heard a lot of new things, so she picked a few things that were suitable for the noble lady in the mansion to listen to, so that the old lady and the third lady could listen to it, and it also made a room of maids and women amazed.

After a while, Yang Liu and Qin Mo, who were picking the maids, entered the house, and Yang Liu said: "The little girls sent by Mother Zhao are all very well-behaved, but I have to bother my mother to tell me what their origins are." The old lady waved her hand and said, "Go ahead, Su Su will also take a look." Su Su followed Mother Zhao, Yang Liu, and Mama Qin out of the house.

Although the descendants of the Song family took away most of the two rooms when they left, but there were many people who stayed in Yangzhou, the third lady had already had the intention to rectify the rules of the family, both in charge of the house, and the support of the old lady, some loyal old servants who could not do the work promised pension money to Zhuangzi for the elderly, although the master of the Song family was kind-hearted but not open a good hall, some of the family who stole chickens and dogs and did treachery and tricks went out of the house.

Qiao's housekeeper and his family, except for Yang Liu, followed the big house to the capital, and the old lady said that when Yang Liu reached the age, she would send her to Beijing to marry on her own, so as not to separate the family.

This time the little maid from outside was also proposed by Su Su, Su Su is thirteen years old, and the old lady has more and more private rooms, and she is a little too busy to cook by herself. At that time, there was a winter pine by Sister Amber's side, and later there was a self, and Su Su also found a few successors to cultivate slowly, and she was relieved when she could leave a credible place for the old lady when she left the house.

In the first two times, Mother Zhao and some other women also brought some people over, but the few who were left did not make Su Su particularly interested in it were not bad, but their temperament was not suitable for looking at the warehouse, so the old lady smiled in private: "On weekdays, I see Su Su treating the little maid softly, but it is rare to see her so picky." ”

Su Su picks the maid and says that she is picky, but it is not quite, because she does not pick the looks, nor does she pick the illiterate, let alone whether she can embroider and cook, Su Su only picks the rules of the eyes, and people often say that the eyes are the window of the soul, so when Yang Liu and Mama Qin pick people, Su Su only watched from the side.

More than a dozen seven or eight-year-old girls, dressed in the same size as when she entered the mansion, all bowed their heads and stood in a row in a row, some dared to look up and look at each other when questioning, some shrank back, some replied very cleverly but their eyes flickered, some looked at Yang Liu and others but were full of envy and ambition, there were children of poor families, and some landlords were sold by their stepmothers, and there were one or two literate people.

Yang Liu felt that it was good for a girl who knew a few words and was generous in replying, Mama Qin picked two good-looking people who were also smart, but Su Su chose the one who had no good skills and was sold by her stepmother.

After that, the third lady also picked two, gave Zhao's mother a piece of silver, and was left by the old lady for dinner.

The banquet in the flower hall, Su Su and Mama Qin as accompaniment, eight cold, eight hot, four rice and two soups, is very face-saving for Zhao's mother. Although Zhao's mother didn't care about the food, she finally let go of her heart after looking at this table. Seeing Su Su dressed well, and seeing Su Su's foolish and delicate appearance in front of the old lady Song, I knew that Su Su was completely footed in the Song family, and now the old lady made Su Su's face at this table!
