Susu, Yang Liu, Ning Cui, along with Yun Duo who filled Bisi's place, formed four maids accompanying the Old Madam in a carriage pulled by two Zao Hong horses, a sandalwood carriage inlaid with gems and carvings, with gilded bells hanging from the four corners.
As it was summer, the carriage windows and door curtains were made of rain-clear colored cicada wing gauze. The innermost part of the carriage had a black lacquered wooden couch where one could half-recline, with thick cotton pads and a felt underneath, and a layer of shrimp whisk bamboo mat on top.
On both sides in front of the wooden couch were rows of black lacquered low cabinets, serving both as seats and storage; in the center was a small sandalwood table, its four legs fixed to the carriage, adorned with gilded teapot and teacup holders, ensuring that even with jolts, the tea wouldn't spill.
