Chapter 945 Chapter 945
Qin Qingdong was unwilling to come in, "Guan Zhou, let's talk in the study!"
Ok?
Song Guanzhou lifted the door curtain and walked out. "Why, do you want to talk to me?"
"I learned that Ling Bai and his sister were leaving today, so I said I would come and see them off, but I didn't expect to miss them."
A few days ago, Xu Lingbai and his sister prepared valuable gifts and went to the Qin Mansion. From beginning to end, the Qin Mansion provided a great help just in finding Xu Lingqiao.
Not to mention Xu Lingbai's later appointment as an official. The Qin family did not help openly, but due to the friendship between the Qin family and Song Guanzhou, they must have helped him a lot secretly.
It was a pity that the old lady was not feeling well and did not see them, but the eldest lady of the Qin family came out to entertain them and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
Coincidentally, Qin Qingdong was not there that day.
"I left early, otherwise I would have spent the New Year on the road."
Qin Qingdong stepped into the study and called out to Rendong, "Go and bring some food quickly. I'm starving!"
Song Guanzhou took two steps closer and smelled the scent of flowers and powder. He raised his hand and waved, "Did you stay outside yesterday?"
Qin Qingdong nodded.
"You have a very sharp nose. No wonder Silang won't drink with me now."
"Just drinking?"
As soon as the words came out, Qin Qingdong's face flushed, "Song Guanzhou, even though you and I are friends, you don't have to worry about these things."
Song Guanzhou covered his mouth and laughed, "No, no, you and I are not friends, but bad friends."
Bad friend?
It was a new word, but after careful consideration, Qin Qingdong actually agreed, "That's right, bad friend!"
In fact, Song Guanzhou has gradually accepted the daily life of men from wealthy families in feudal society. Drinking and playing with courtesans has become their daily routine.
But Qin Er has not yet married.
Song Guanzhou asked in a low voice, "Have you and Wen Si said when you will get married?"
After Qin Qingdong sat down, he covered his face with his fan and yawned loudly. "After the spring, my mother always thought that if I married Wen Si, I would be stable. But she didn't know that Wen Si was even less stable than me."
At this point, he laughed twice.
Seeing that Song Guanzhou didn't smile either, he felt bored and slowly stopped smiling. "Now that your cousins have left, Shaohua Garden has become empty again. I'd like to keep you company in the future."
These words caused Song Guanzhou to roll his eyes.
"Can you write and do math, or can you serve tea?"
Qin Qingdong was speechless. "I am not as good as you in mathematics, but I can still joke with you."
In the past, the two of them told each other all kinds of gossip in the capital. Qin Qingdong also felt regretful for losing Song Guanzhou.
Before he could say anything more, Song Guanzhou pointed at the account books in the room and said, "Stop bothering me. I'm working now."
"You really tried your best!"
Qin Qingdong sneered, but Song Guanzhou snorted, "I'm different from you. I can't go to brothels when I'm bored. There's nothing to do with killing time. I can handle the accounts with the Xiao family, which means they don't despise me."
whispering sound!
"How dare Xiao Wu? You are as capable as he is. Even if he went looking for it, he wouldn't be able to find it."
Hey! You even praised it!
Song Guanzhou smiled and said, "Besides, I have also agreed to it, so I must do it well."
Qin Qingdong looked at the messy table and asked, "How many more are there?"
Song Guanzhou shook his head. "That's hard to say. I received a letter from Xiao Wu a few days ago, saying that he would send me a holiday gift at the end of the year, along with a truckload of account books."
Ouch!
Qin Qingdong was shocked, "Is the Xiao family's business so big?"
Car after car!
"It's not small, but it involves many categories. One store has a lot of accounts, and one category has a lot of stores. A little bit adds up to a lot. Of course, this is also because Xiao Cang asked for the accounts to be detailed."
If you pay attention to details, there will be more accounts.
Qin Qingdong smacked his lips, "Wow, he is indeed the largest merchant in Jiangzhou. So how much did you give to the Xiao family?"
Song Guanzhou narrowed his eyes and said after a while, "It's extremely complicated. We found many people who were corrupt and a lot of messy accounts were found."
Qin Qingdong felt overwhelmed. "I have never been interested in mathematics since I was a child. I can only admire you for your calculations when I see you using the abacus."
"Why, are you here just to see my cousin off today?"
"of course not."
Jindong brought a tray of porridge and vegetables, chicken soup and shredded pork porridge, and some pickled vegetables. Qin Qingdong drooled at the sight, "Let alone other things, the sisters-in-law in your house are good at cooking."
Just by looking at the porridge and dishes, you can tell they are made by Shaohuayuan’s small kitchen.
Honeysuckle smiled and said, "Thank you for your compliment, Second Young Master. If you like it, I will prepare some for Chun Ge'er and you can take it back as a side dish."
Qin Qingdong waved his hand, "No need to be so troublesome, if you want to eat in the future, just come to your Shaohua Garden."
Is he the kind of person who is afraid of trouble?
This is not a joke.
"I learned something last night, and the Yan family sent someone to tell my mother."
Yan family?
"Before the general came to the capital, he sent someone to visit the Yan family. After arriving in the capital, he wanted to meet the emperor, but the emperor did not summon him. After that, the general stayed at home and did not go out."
Originally, he came to Beijing quietly, so it would not be good to have a high-profile social interaction.
"This morning I asked my eldest sister-in-law which funeral day Princess Hong'an would be buried on, but she shook her head and said she didn't know."
“It has not been decided yet.”
Qin Qingdong waved his hand, "The time of death is not good. If it were the first day, the twenty-second day of the winter month, it would be a good day -"
Song Guanzhou heard this and raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"The twenty-second day of winter is certainly a good day!"
Qin Qingdong raised his eyes, "Not really, but it's Prince An's funeral, the date calculated by the Imperial Observatory, Master Huijue also said it's good, it's better than the next day."
Honeysuckle was standing by, covering her mouth and laughing, "Second Master, you don't know that the twenty-second of the winter month is our young lady's birthday."
Haha!
When Qin Qingdong heard this, he slapped his thigh in shock.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? I should have given you a generous gift anyway."
Song Guanzhou waved his hand, "I'm still young, and I don't care about all the fancy birthdays. Besides, I felt thrilled that day."
Gee!
Qin Qingdong didn't know what to say for a moment. After a moment, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will give you a birthday gift."
"Next year, it's not like I'll be gone next year."
"Bah bah bah!"
Before Qin Qingdong could reprimand her, Ren Dong hurriedly spat out three times, "Madam, it's not appropriate to talk like that so early in the morning. I hope you will have good luck and peace next year."
Qin Qingdong nodded in agreement, "You really have to listen to Sister Dong on this point. You can't just talk nonsense."
That’s all!
Song Guanzhou was bothered and asked him to finish his meal and talk about the matter. Qin Qingdong was neither hurried nor slow. He finished half a bowl of porridge before saying, "The Yan family is my uncle's family. My cousin Yan Zhirang has made some achievements. His successor cousins can be considered capable, but they have no connection with the general's family..."
"Have you told me your purpose for coming here?"
"No, I only mentioned the feelings from decades ago."
"Second Brother Yan is not in the capital right now, let alone in his hometown. His trip here is not only confusing to us, but even my uncle feels it is a bit abrupt."
