Spring Girl's Notes

On the fourth day of June, the golden light shines on the ground, and the sun is scorching.

There is no wind in the treetops and branches.

Early in the morning, Gu Jinzhi received a post from Yiyanhou's Mansion to visit him.

She was going to reply, but Si Jian ran in and happily said to Song Pan'er, "Ma'am, Wei Lixin has arrived. He brought a few boys to lead the battle quickly. Mother Song and Sister Haitang are waiting for a group of people, and they will be here in the afternoon." arrive."

When Song Pan'er heard this, she was also overjoyed: "Call in quickly."

Wei Lixin is the chief storehouse manager of the house in Yanling Mansion, one of Song Pan'er's dowries, and her confidant.

Si Jian said yes, lifted the hem of his clothes and was about to run.

Song Pan'er yelled at him: "Go slowly! You are now a third-class manager, not a boy who runs errands, so it's not a rule!"

Because the servants in the family are not fully equipped, and there is no specific arrangement for where Si Jian will go, but the boys in the outer courtyard are all under his care.

Si Jian was used to being scolded by Song Pan'er, and unlike the other boys, he smiled and said yes.

When Song Pan'er was out of sight, he ran over quickly again.

Gu Jinzhi thought, I'm afraid I won't have time to see Madam Yiyanhou today.

She wrote back, asking Mrs. Yiyan Hou to come to the mansion again on the sixth day of the lunar new year.

She also showed the letter to Song Pan'er.

Song Pan'er nodded.

Gu Jinzhi asked Shaoyao to go out and call a servant, and sent him to Yiyanhou's mansion.

After a quarter of an hour or so, Wei Lixin and three or four servants came in quickly to salute Song Pan'er, their foreheads were sweating.

The boys who came here were all served by Gu Jinzhi's father: there were Simo, Siyan, Sixuan, and Sihao.

Kneel down together.Kowtow to Song Pan'er.

Song Pan'er laughed hurriedly: "Get up, get up."

Then let the servant girl bring Wei Lixin a little chair to sit on, and a little pedal for them to sit on.

He also ordered iced plum soup to relieve the heat.

Wei Lixin and others looked at Song Pan'er's swollen belly and were slightly surprised. Then they got up one after another, knelt down and kowtowed to Song Pan'er to congratulate her.

Song Pan'er no longer had the embarrassment and embarrassment she felt when she first became pregnant, and accepted it with a smile: "Don't be too polite, just sit down and cool off."

Then everyone sat down one after another.

Song Pan'er was happy, Shao Yao and Nian Lu were also happy.

"...There were two big storms on the road. The boat was almost overturned. Fortunately, nothing was lost. There was a flood in the south. There were flood victims everywhere. We also encountered water bandits twice, and they were all refugees. There is no way to walk. Our guards are very capable and did not let the water bandits succeed. I discussed with Manager Sun. Every time the boat stops, I set up two pots to make rice porridge. Scatter it to the refugees at the pier. After that, there was no accident along the way. .” Wei Lixin said.

Song Pan'er nodded.

Every spring, there will be refugees in the south.

The Gu family allocates some money from the outer courtyard every year.Distribute porridge to the victims.

This is a blessing.

"It's done well." Song Pan'er said, "Our Gu family has this rule every year. In times of famine, we distribute some rice grains."

Wei Lixin smiled and said yes.

Then, he sent another post to Song Pan'er: "Madam wrote a letter. Although there was no order, we were afraid of shortages in Beijing, so we brought some things from home."

Song Pan'er posted and smiled.

If it weren't for the five hundred catties of gold rewarded by the emperor, these things would be very timely.

It's not too much to bring here now.

"Jiang Ning's cloth is ready, I wonder if there is a new one?" Song Pan'er asked, "I have been making clothes for a long time."

Everyone laughed.

Wei Lixin also laughed: "My uncle and wife said that my wife likes clothes with fresh colors the most. The fabrics were given by my uncle and wife, and half of the cabin was piled up. They are all good, and there is no water stain. Be careful at all times. Master Cheng from the sewing room waited for seven or eight embroiderers, and they also came..."

Song Pan'er smiled from the corners of her eyes and brows.

She stopped talking too much and asked someone to prepare a meal for Wei Lixin.

Then he called Si Jian again: "Take Simo Siyan and go out of the city to welcome Mr. Sun and them. If the city gate is closed at night, you know which store in the closed room is good, so you can give me more money. Stay in Guanxiang. Don’t go too far and look back for the town.”

Si Jian hurriedly said yes.

In the afternoon, half of the family was added to the family at once.

Eighty percent of the servants serving in Yanling Mansion came.

Gu Jinzhi's eldest maids, Nishang and Zhilei, also came.

Nishang's acne-prone face has mostly healed, but there are some small pockmarks, like freckles, which are not very good-looking, but they don't feel ugly either.

Her face before was smooth and smooth.

Zhu Mama and the others didn't know what to say, they just said: "...It's much better than it was at the beginning."

Nishang laughed: "You are too dissatisfied. Go and see what the people who survived in my village look like! I am like this, it is a girl who has rejuvenated. Otherwise, I really can't go out, and I will scare people to death. Mother-in-law."

Everyone laughed.

Zhilei got seasick and was dying at the moment.

After saluting Gu Jinzhi, Zhu's mother and others arranged for her to lie down first.

Gu Jinzhi went to the main courtyard again and looked at the mother's side.

Mother Song, Haitang, Aofu and others all came.

Seeing Gu Jinzhi, Mother Song hugged her tightly: "My sister has grown taller again! She looks more delicate." As she spoke, there were tears in her eyes.

Song Pan'er smiled at the side: "Don't be like that! You made my eyes sour."

Mother Song wiped her tears and smiled.

After a long discussion, both of them sat down indiscriminately.

The house was full of chaos, Brother Xuan had already gone to the outer courtyard to watch the excitement; Zhu Zhongjun also took the opportunity to go back to the Luyang Palace.

Gu Yanzhen met a dozen stewards from home in the outer courtyard.

It was only at dusk that everything was settled.

Song Pan'er breathed a sigh of relief: "Everyone is here, and there will be rules in this family from now on. Mom doesn't know, I have broken Shaoyao and the others into ten in the past few months. Look at Shaoyao and Nianlu, they are so thin Is it gone?"

Mother Song really looked at the faces of these two maidservants, and she became thinner: "It's really embarrassing for you! Ma'am, everyone can give each of them a few silver coins. Don't make them work in vain."

Then, his eyes fell on Mu Qing.

Mu Qing was wearing a water pink jacket and a moon white skirt, with a quiet demeanor and a dignified demeanor, making it hard to ignore her.

Nian Lu smiled and introduced to Mother Song: "Mom, this is Mu Qing, the lady rewarded her. She is much more capable than us!"

Song Pan'er smiled and said: "It's more capable than you! Shaoyao doesn't count in it. Pull out a person, who is not more capable than you?"

Everyone laughed.

Nian Lu also laughed.

Mu Qing saluted Song's mother with a respectful attitude.

Mother Song saw that she had a handsome appearance.He also stands out for his calm demeanor.And it was rewarded by the big house, and seeing Song Pan'er relying on her, I couldn't help but feel vigilant.

She smiled, took Mu Qing's hand and looked at it.Then he gave her a purse as a gift.

Haitang also greeted Mu Qing once.

Evening.Shao Yao and Nian Lu took the others to dinner.Haitang and Song's mother sat on the footsteps between Song Paner and Song Paner, set up a table, and accompanied Song Paner, Gu Jinzhi's siblings, and King Luyang to eat.

Mother Song and Haitang looked at King Luyang several times.

King Luyang smiled sweetly.

I know he is the future uncle.Not avoiding suspicion like this, Mother Song had a lot of questions to ask.

After dinner, the maids cleared away the dishes, Mother Song and Haitang washed their hands first, and then went to serve Song Pan'er and others to wash their hands.

Then, Gu Jinzhi, Brother Xuan and Zhu Zhongjun went out for a walk to digest food.

Song Pan'er was leaning on the ink pillow on the big kang facing the window, Haitang told her about the journey, while Song's mother cut the cantaloupe that was rewarded in the palace into small pieces with a small silver knife, and inserted it with a toothpick. To Song Pan'er.

"That Mu Qing was rewarded by Da Furen?" Mother Song took a chance and asked Song Pan'er.

Song Pan'er nodded: "She is very capable. I didn't say anything in front of Shaoyao just now. Nian Lu can't compare to her, and Shaoyao is also a little bit behind. She can be as good as Haitang."

Haitang let out a chuckle: "Turn around, the servant has gone out, Madam should say, Haitang will give way."

Song Pan'er laughed loudly and tapped her forehead: "You bastard girl!"

Mother Song followed suit with a smile, and asked: "She is quite outstanding, and she was rewarded by the head of the house over there, and she was not raised from a young age. You should not value her so much if you know people, face, but not heart. Another Hong Lian, what should I do?"

Mother Song has always been loyal and harsh.

Song Pan'er smiled: "If that's the case, I'll just admit to the wrong person. I'm thinking that not all girls in this world are as cold-hearted as Hong Lian; nor are they all good-for-nothings who want to give to the third master. As a concubine, in terms of appearance, Nianlu is more outstanding, and in terms of character, Haitang is still calm. Could it be that because of a Hong Lian, I suspect that people in this world are uneasy and kind? In my life, I have misjudged Hong Lian once. .Now I can't be wrong again. Mom is relieved."

Song Pan'er never gave up eating because of choking.

Haitang was at the side, not daring to answer.

She is a maid, mother Song can say these things, but she can't.

She just took the small fan on the Kang table and gently fanned it for Song Pan'er.

Mother Song smiled: "You're right, I'm rambling again."

This time, the chief steward, Sun Yutang, came to Beijing, as did all the first-class stewards and second-class stewards from various parts of the inner and outer courts.

As long as you find the people in Yanling Mansion, the various managers will sit in charge in advance, and then send the boy to order, it will be appropriate.

On the first day of the fifth day of the fifth day, all arrangements were made.

The treasury is still handed over to Wei Lixin, and the accounting room, inner and outer kitchens, tea room, starch and laundry room, sewing room, carriage room, changing room, porter's room, study room, etc. are all available.

Every place is a steward from Yanling Mansion, and all the servants are treated by Si Jian.

Si Jian himself became the steward of the porter.

He no longer looks after the study.

The steward who used to be the concierge was sent to the kitchen to make a purchase.

On the sixth day, Yiyan Hou Ning's family came to visit.

Not only Mrs. Ning, Ning E, the second young lady and the third young master of the Ning family also came.

Gu Yanzhen had no choice but to rush in to accompany her.

Ning E wanted to salute the old man, but was rejected.

His complexion was a little ugly.

But in the end, remembering that Mr. Gu had always been eccentric, he quickly slipped it from his mind and stopped thinking about it.

King Luyang was also on the side.

Mrs. Ning and Ning E were talking with Mrs. Gu Yanzhen, but their eyes always wandered to King Luyang.
