Pei Xuan opened the conversation with Zhou Shenjiang, but where no one could see it, the orange cat was lying on the table next to Pei Xuan, its ears perked up excitedly, its tail wagging, excited Read the thoughts of these guards.
However, Su Tang arrived at the Governor's Mansion at this time, and Pei Xuan was alone. Among the female relatives in the family, Mrs. Pei Guogong's wife Zhou didn't care, so she could only take on the responsibility of being the head of the family.
Su Tang studied under Song Yi, and Song Yi taught the rules of the big family, but what Song Yi taught were the rules of the children of the family. To put it simply, they were the etiquette and rules that the young masters of the family should deal with when going out. For women in the family, Song Yi himself didn't know how to run a household in the back house, so of course he couldn't teach Su Tang.
Fortunately, Su Tang had been in charge of a large business before, and she also knew that there were rules for weddings and funerals in such big houses, so she asked the housekeeper to explain how things were done before. Most of the time, she followed the rules. Just do it and you can never go wrong.
But even so, there were so many trivial things to do. Su Tang sat there for more than an hour and couldn't even find a moment to relax.
Finally able to take a sip of water, Jiang Nian and Sulan brought fruit tea and snacks to Su Tang and served her, "Miss, it's already late, but I need to explain to the servants that I'll forget it today. I have something to do." Will you call me back tomorrow?"
When Jiang Nian saw the tired look on Su Tang's face, he asked. He knew that Su Tang never worked overtime. When he first started doing business in the early years, after all, in the early stages of starting a business, it was naturally harder. , it was fine then.
Later, as his career gradually started to get bigger and bigger, Su Tang no longer worked so hard and would almost rest. Jiang Nian and Su Lan were Su Tang's personal maids, so they naturally knew Su Tang best.
At this hour, it was already past Su Tang's rest time, but now the Governor's Mansion was still brightly lit, and servants came over one after another to reply. If he didn't say anything, he might not be able to rest all night.
"How can I rest? Su Lan, go boil some water and make me some thick tea. I'm afraid I'm going to have to stay up all night these days." When Su Tang heard Jiang Nian tell her to rest, she thought too. But funeral arrangements are never that simple. She has a lot to do and can't rest.
Su Lan heard Su Tang's instructions, bowed and agreed, and was about to go out to make tea for Su Tang. When she went out, another servant came back to talk outside.
Seeing someone else coming, Su Tang took a bite of snacks and drank a mouthful of honey and lemon, trying to let the sweet taste awaken his enthusiasm, but he still couldn't help but sigh, "I finally understand what it means to be deep in love once you enter the Hou family." It’s the sea.”
A prince's family is as deep as the sea. The gate of this palace is probably as deep as the Mariana Trench. Why are there so many servants and so many things? What utensils are needed for a funeral, coffins, shrouds, and receptions? For those guests who come to express their condolences, arrange the seats, front and rear, banquet menus, etc.
It’s really complicated. When people die in modern times, they just burn and bury them. Then they drive them to a hotel for a meal. After everything is over, everyone goes back to their homes. How simple and neat.
There are many ancient rules, and there are even more rules for big families. When she was in Sujiatun, she handled Su Laoshuan's funeral and moved Su Yonghe's grave without so much trouble.
