Chapter 134
A comparison of tiredness
After the ceremonies were separated, Song Ci returned to the main room and lay down quickly.
She lay on the bed in a large shape, and Song Ci sighed. This social event in ancient times was really very tired.
If this is in modern times, it would be over for a social event and you would go to the table to eat and drink. However, now, you will get up before dawn to wash up. When the guests come, you have to chat with them, and you have to pay attention to your own words and deeds. You can’t answer the other party’s words casually, otherwise you will be a pit in minutes and you won’t know if you fall in.
Song Ci felt that it was no easier to play word games with these wives than men.
This mental work is not done by humans.
It’s okay to have a brain work, but she has acted in many dramas at least, and she has specialized in psychological warfare. She has read all of Guiguzi and the 36 strategies of the Warring States National Strategies. She has no big problem in using psychological tactics, just be careful.
The hardest thing is the body.
Although she has been exercising for a while, her body is still a bit disabled. She is so tired when dealing with people for a day.
"Madam, the list of the girls who came to attend the banquet today has been sorted out. Are you looking at it now?" Madam Gong walked in and asked.
Song Ci slowly turned his head: "Madam Gong, do you think I still have the strength to look at the list? Let it go first and look back, I'm so tired."
"Okay, I'll give you some peace of mind?"
Song Ci: "It doesn't matter. I'm sleeping so hard that I can't sleep at night. I'll just take a break. You can go and take a break too, don't be tired."
After she finished speaking, she turned her back and closed her eyes.
Madam Gong helped her tuck the scepter of the quilt, stepped out, and asked the people who were serving her outside to make any noise. She asked Hongju to go to the kitchen and give an order to stew a thick Sichuan-bean pear.
She saw that the lady had spoken so much today and her voice became a little hoarse.
...
Prime Minister's Court.
Mrs. Song was also very tired. She leaned on the beauty couch and was massaged by the maids. Her waist was almost broken.
She couldn't just lie down like Song Ci, because the banquet had just finished and there were still many things to deal with, and she had to meet the managers and settle them all together.
"Madam, the second, third wife and the managers are all waiting in the flower hall." Madam Fang reported.
Mrs. Song nodded and nodded, stood up with Shaoyao's hand and said, "Let's go."
As the mistress of the house, she is glorious in the past. In fact, she is really exhausted in the management. But even so, many people still want to embrace the housekeeper’s power, one is for wealth, two is for power, and three is for face.
The same is true for Mrs. Song. Even if she is extremely tired, she will never let the housekeeper go. After all, she is the mistress of this mansion. She is the eldest daughter-in-law of the eldest wife. If she cares, who is qualified?
When he arrived at the flower hall, he greeted each other with two sisters-in-law who were having tea. Mrs. Song began to listen to what the following people reported.
After the banquet, there were all the lamps, oil, fire waxes everywhere, and they had to be put out one by one before they were put together. There were also utensils that had to be cleaned and recycled. The doors of each yard where guests were entertained had to be cleaned and locked.
All of these generations must be ordered.
There are also some minor accidents that occur at the banquet, which must be dealt with. The Prime Minister has always been a clear distinction between rewards and punishments. If you do it, you will be rewarded, and if you do it, you will be punished.
After everything was finished, I returned to the main courtyard. It was already time to take the lights. Mrs. Song had just sat down and took the gift lists of various prefectures compiled by Shaoyao and the others. After taking a few glances, she heard that Song Zhiyuan was coming.
