Chapter 3, The Matter of Washing Three Times (3)
Su Yierha first greeted Galudai, then exchanged a few pleasantries before hurriedly exiting the room. To his surprise, upon stepping outside, he found Niman waiting under the corridor, being questioned by Gundai.
Su Yierha happily responded in a series of affirmations, taking the little girl outside
I don't think it makes much difference. It is true that I am a legitimate son, but now that I have a son of my own, I still haven't managed to secure a good position in front of the prince. I spend my days idly at home, what difference is there between me and the third or fourth master
Do you still know what regret is, my lady? I see that you have never hesitated to spend money on the Second Master.
What did the noble lady remember? Su Yierha's fingers deftly worked on the net.
At this moment in the room, only Galudai and Dudu are playing, while the young master has already been placed in the cradle and is asleep. The wet nurse is quietly sitting on the footstool under the southern kang, working on her needlework. Upon seeing Su Yierha come out, she couldn't help but stand up.
He is the patriarch, the pillar of the family. Should he be allowed to wander around outside in a disheveled manner? This is not just a disgrace to him; it is a disgrace to me.
Tomorrow, go to the warehouse to select a piece of leather; it is time to prepare for the second master's winter clothing
On the day of Li Jia's delivery, someone from the family was sent to Hada to report the good news, but there was no response for a long time. The returning servant only said that Hada had fallen and that he had not seen Daisan. He found a servant from the mansion and entrusted a message to him to send up. There was still no reply, so he stayed in Hada for a day before returning.
Yes, yes, yes. A servant is destined to toil. I originally wanted to quietly serve you during your confinement, but you cannot bear to see me idle. Once the guests leave, I will go to the storeroom to select materials and make clothes, ensuring that Second Master looks respectable and outshines Eldest Master, Third Master, and Fourth Master.
Ni Man is the laughing beads of Dai Shan, this time he also went to Hada with Hu.
The young girl at the door straightened up and said: "In response to the noble lady, Ni Man has returned."
Li Jia lay on the bed, her tranquil face revealing a faint smile.
What are you doing
I estimate that the second master has grown a bit taller, and even though last year's clothes are made of new fabric, they can no longer be worn. However, they can be altered for the young master to wear, as those silk materials were obtained at a high price from the private market in Kaiyuan, so it would be a pity to waste them.
Take him in ... ... No, no, Su Yierha, you go out to see him, and come back quickly to tell me if there is any news
Su Yierha
What did Abai and Tang do in ancient times? Can they be compared to the Second Master?
The master and servant were conversing in low voices when suddenly the curtain at the door moved. Su Yierha was the first to notice, standing up from the footstool, and upon turning around, she saw a young maid from the gatehouse.
None of us Jurchens would shy away from such laziness. Even women can engage in fishing and hunting; what is so remarkable about that
Su Yierha was overjoyed and congratulated Li Jiashi, saying: "It must be that the master sent him back to deliver the news, the Fujin will surely gain face this time"
What does it mean to be idle at home? In the family, during the annual fishing and hunting season, when has the second master ever avoided laziness?
Wasn't last year's clothing hardly worn at all
Li Jia was both disappointed and heartbroken. Today was the child's third wash, and she had not held out much hope, but unexpectedly, Ni Man returned.
"Hush, my lady, please do not be upset; it is this servant who is at fault. There are still guests outside. Once you have recovered, you may use the whip on me, and I assure you, I will not utter a single word of complaint." Su Yierha chuckled, trying to cheer up Lady Li, "This time, the Young Prince has left the elder to guard Jianzhou, while the second prince has volunteered to join the campaign. Is this not a great opportunity for the second prince to achieve merit? If the second prince excels, my lady, you will also gain prestige in the future"
