Chapter 941 Chapter 941
On the way back, Song Youan asked carefully, "Did you go to a private school, little brother?"
"Clan studies."
Before Lin Shan whipped his horse, he glanced at Song Youan and said, "For this identity, the Fourth Young Master has wasted so much energy, you will never know. Think about it yourself. If the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion came to you for something, would you be so attentive?"
Don't know what is good or bad.
Song Youan lowered his head, his face full of guilt, and did not dare to answer.
On the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, three carriages were waiting at the gate of the mansion early in the morning. Xu Lingbai and Xu Lingqiao were already ready to go. Except for Song Guanzhou, all the others who wanted to see them off were politely declined by Xu Lingqiao last night.
"I am just bothering you. My sisters-in-law have treated me with all their heart. It is freezing cold today and we are leaving early in the morning. Don't let them get cold. I have said caring things to them over the past two days. Before we leave, please don't add to my sadness."
The two siblings also went to Zhengxian Pavilion and kowtowed three times to Pei Jian.
When they arrived, the brother and sister were in a state of disarray, one missing and the other in a daze. If it weren't for the government's support and care, they wouldn't have achieved their current success.
The brother and sister knelt down to thank the Duke of Zhenguo with all their heart.
The old master Pei Jian personally helped the two of them up and said, "We are one family and we should not talk behind each other's backs. You two are also children who deserve love. Don't be polite to your uncle."
Therefore, apart from Song Guanzhou, no one else was disturbed in the mansion that morning.
Pei An wanted to ask for leave to see him off, but was rejected by Xu Lingbai, "Silang, why are you being polite to me? This farewell does not mean we will never see each other again in this life. The duty is more important!"
The Ministry of Personnel was so busy in the twelfth lunar month that even if one asked for leave, they would deliberately make things difficult.
Pei An felt something was wrong, Song Guanzhou held him back, "You and I are husband and wife, I will send you off, all good things must come to an end, don't worry."
When it was getting gray, the three of them, accompanied by their maids and servants, went out through the corner gate of the mansion, carrying lanterns.
Pei Hai, as the chief steward of the mansion, had been waiting at the gate for a long time. When he saw Song Guanzhou coming in person to see him off, he walked up to him and explained everything.
"It will take at least seven or eight days to go there. The journey is long. The Lord has ordered that I should send seven or eight more people besides Linxi to escort my cousin to Tong County to take up his post."
After saying that, he called Liu Er.
"Liu Er is brave and careful, he will definitely be able to lead the team to protect my cousin and my cousin girl."
"Thank you Uncle Hai for your concern."
Song Guanzhou thanked him with a smile, and Pei Hai bowed, "What are you talking about, Madam? This is what I should do. My cousin is so young, but he has already achieved fame. This is a great joy. I am honored to be able to lend a hand."
Song Guanzhou didn't like sentimental farewells, and besides, he had eaten many farewell dinners in the past few days.
"It's freezing cold, be careful on the road. When driving, be careful of the charcoal braziers." Song Guanzhou urged again and again, and the two got on the carriage.
Xu Lingbai wanted to say a few farewell words, but was stopped by Song Guanzhou.
"Good brother, you have been telling me over and over again these days, don't dawdle, get in the car quickly."
Xu Lingbai: ...Where is the sadness of parting?
Xu Lingqiao was actually worried. She lifted the car curtain, leaned out half of her body, and held Song Guanzhou's hand, "Guanzhou, be careful."
"Don't worry, don't worry. I'm really worried. How about I write to you every month?"
"If this is possible, it would be great."
Seeing Xu Lingqiao about to burst into tears, Song Guanzhou quickly waved his hand, "My sister, this is not a farewell of life and death. This time, my cousin is very different from when he came to Beijing. Happy event!"
"I just can't bear to leave you. You've always had a hard time these days."
As Xu Lingqiao spoke, she still felt sad.
Her eyes became hot and tears wet her cheeks. Song Guanzhou quickly took out a soft handkerchief and wiped her tears. "You might as well think positively. So many people wanted to kill me, but I managed to avoid them. In a sense, I am very lucky and will live a long life."
Xu Lingqiao was worried and just held the hands of Ren Dong and several maids, "Take good care of your young lady, and make sure everyone in the house is well. We will meet again in the future."
Song Guanzhou asked a few maids to put her in directly, and said to Liu Er who was driving the carriage, "Second brother, please worry about the journey, and set off quickly."
Brother Liu bowed and said, "Young Madam, don't worry. I have taken this route before, and I have been to Jiangzhou many times. I am very familiar with it."
After saying this, he raised the whip and lightly tapped the horse's tail.
Ma Ti'er ran happily, taking the Xu brothers and sisters to the future.
Song Guanzhou, wrapped in a scarlet robe, stood there, watching the carriage disappear. He immediately stamped his feet and said, "Hurry, hurry, it's so cold, and I'm lazy. I haven't changed into thick-soled shoes. Cousin, if you stay a little longer, my feet won't even belong to me anymore."
Honeysuckle and the others, who were still in tears, hurriedly gathered together and entered the house when they heard what the young lady said.
As soon as I entered the door, I met Qi Yue Niang who came over.
"Ling Qiao brother and sister, are they gone?"
Song Guanzhou nodded, "My dear sister-in-law, please come into the house and warm yourself by the fire. It's so cold, it's really—"
She blew some hot air onto her hands and shrank back in fear.
Qi Yueniang walked up to her and handed her the copper hand warmer in her hand, "Why did you come out without any?"
Ren Dong quickly replied, "It was prepared for our young lady, but my cousin couldn't find it at the last minute, so the young lady gave it to her."
It turned out to be the case.
"She has been sitting in the carriage all day. This is not a life for a human being. Forget it, let's go inside and warm ourselves by the fire."
Song Guanzhou shuddered, causing Qi Yueniang to quickly hold her arm and said, "Let's go, let's go. I have something to tell you."
The two sisters-in-law returned to the inner courtyard together.
"Sister-in-law, the New Year is coming soon. The family is busy and I can't help. Please forgive my lazy nature."
After hearing this, Qi Yueniang felt even more comfortable.
"With your second sister-in-law around, the exchanges of favors during the twelfth lunar month are not as frequent as in previous years as your father becomes more and more silent year by year."
It’s not that people forget you when you leave, but that’s just how the human world works.
"In previous years, there were many happy events in the twelfth lunar month. I heard from your second sister-in-law that she was so busy that she had calluses on her feet and couldn't handle all the socializing. In this twelfth lunar month this year, Prince An was just sent to the imperial mausoleum last month, and now Princess Hong'an's body is still resting. The marriages that wealthy families have traditionally held are also held after the beginning of spring."
This way, we can relax a lot.
"This year is cold, I am afraid there will be many funerals."
Qi Yueniang nodded, "There are several relatives in the funeral, and Second Aunt also has some. We can just make up for it when the time comes. It's no trouble."
If he is really from our family, it will be troublesome.
Song Guanzhou approached Qi Yueniang and asked in a low voice, "Have you set a date for Princess Hong'an's funeral?"
Qi Yueniang shook her head slowly.
"I want to talk to you about this matter. It's really cold outside, and it's not a good place to talk. This place is close to my Kuoyuezhai. Let's talk inside my room."
Yes!
