Chapter 934 Chapter 934
When he arrived at the dining hall, Qin Qingdong returned to his previous nonchalant appearance, wearing a royal blue brocade robe, deerskin boots, and a small golden crown on his hair.
But it's very eye-catching.
Song Guanzhou's face was full of playfulness. As soon as he entered the door, he was attracted by the little golden crown. He sat down next to Pei An, unable to suppress a smile on his lips.
"Why, I haven't seen you for a few days. Do you think I look more handsome?"
Song Guanzhou shook his head, "Your little golden crown... isn't it heavy?"
Take a look!
Qin Qingdong immediately held up a fan and pointed it at Song Guanzhou with pride, teasing Xu Lingbai and Pei An, "Everyone says that my golden crown is tacky, but Guanzhou saw it at a glance and knew it was not an ordinary thing."
Song Guanzhou raised his eyebrows, "Is it made of real gold, or is it solid?"
"of course!"
Qin Qingdong was very proud. "This was left by a great master of my family. My eldest brother personally picked it out for me to wear when I was just 20 years old."
Song Guanzhou's eyes were full of stars, "If it melts, it will be enough to make two pairs of dragon and phoenix bracelets."
puff!
Qin Qingdong almost couldn't help but choke, "You, you, you..., you really have been doing too much for Xiao Wu, and you are stained with the smell of money. You can't watch the boat."
“Don’t underestimate gold, silver and other valuables. How many people in this world have bowed their heads and even had their wives and children separated for their own sakes?”
"Guan Zhou, this is not right."
Qin Qingdong opened his fan with a snap. It was a very cold day, but he fanned it twice, causing Pei An to snatch it away from him and throw it to Rendong.
"Keep it for Erlang and return it to him when it gets hotter."
"Hey, hey, hey! You can't do that!"
Qin Qingdong immediately stood up and tried to take the fan away. "We have to wait for half a year until the weather gets hot. This is made of the finest silkworm paper. It's priceless!"
Honeysuckle smiled and said, "I will keep it for the Second Young Master. I will present it to you when you leave."
Pei An snorted and laughed, "The cool breeze from your fan is so cold that Guan Zhou and my cousin are weak. Even my cousin and I can't stand your nonsense."
The folding fan is large, and Qin Qingdong’s strength is also considerable.
It was such a cold day that even inside the house with a charcoal brazier lit, it was still cold wherever I walked.
“…That’s all!”
Qin Qingdong stopped and sighed, "It was so hard for me to be a mourner for Prince An's funeral. Now that it's over, I can take a break. I've already thought about it. I'll go to your Wenxi Villa on the 20th of the twelfth lunar month and hold a small banquet."
Song Guanzhou raised his eyes and said, "If you want to borrow it, just take it."
Qin Qingdong smiled and said, "I know you are generous, but now I can't hold a banquet."
"Why?"
Song Guanzhou took a mouthful of the hot soup that Pei An had personally served, and raised his head to ask. Qin Qingdong pouted at Pei An, "Princess Hong'an died, and the general entered the capital. My old lady repeatedly told me not to go out and cause trouble."
"General Jin has returned to Beijing?"
This was asked by Xu Lingbai. Pei An nodded and said, "The general's entry into the capital was extremely secret. After Erlang knew about it, he came here today to remind me and Guan Zhou."
Song Guanzhou frowned slightly, his oval face looked grim, "...Is the general so low-key?"
In her opinion, this position is equivalent to the commander of a military region in modern society. If she returns to Beijing, she will not do it in a high-profile manner, but she will definitely not do it in secret.
"It's really sneaky, but it sounds good, and it's low-key."
Qin Qingdong sneered, "During this twelfth month, the people of Beijing will have something to talk about because of the Jin family's ability."
Pei An was serving food to Song Guanzhou. When he heard what Qin Qingdong said, his expression changed slightly. "Don't take it lightly. The general is not Jin Fuyun. He raised this girl, but now it seems that she is not even three points better."
"Thank you, Qin Er, for coming to talk to me about this. Tell Chun Ge to run more diligently in the future. I'm counting on this big show to accompany my meal."
Qin Qingdong laughed, "Don't worry!"
He took a sip of warm wine, which warmed his heart, liver, intestines and lungs. "As long as I know, I will share it with you."
In the past, Song Guanzhou was the only one eating at the dining table in Shaohua Garden, but now there are at least a couple, or four or five people.
As things get more lively, the idea of not talking while eating doesn't work anymore.
They are of similar age and have shared life and death in the past. Even Xu Lingqiao, who was afraid to live with other men at first, can now say a few words to them.
"Guan Zhou, if the great general comes back, I will stay in the mansion and accompany you."
She doesn't care about her brother for the time being.
When Song Guanzhou heard this, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Good sister, I'm at home, nothing is wrong, don't worry, just accompany your cousin to take up his post."
Pei An smiled and said, "Don't worry, cousin. The general has returned to Beijing this time, so he doesn't have the time to reminisce with us younger generations. He has a lot of things to do."
Xu Lingqiao gently squeezed Song Guanzhou's hand under the table and said, "Guanzhou, even so, you should still listen to Silang's words and stay in the mansion longer. You can leave the mansion only after the general leaves."
Song Guanzhou only thought his cousin was cute, but he still said truthfully, "Don't worry, this is the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. If he comes to the door, it won't be my turn as a daughter-in-law of such status to greet him."
Even among the wealthy and powerful, this kind of etiquette is disliked.
Privately, everyone knew how cruel and ruthless Jin Fuyun was. His father, Jin Meng, as a general, was also responsible for improper education.
But when you are really meeting your uncles face to face, you must not lose manners when greeting them.
After all, after Jin Meng stepped on Pei Jian to move up, the two families never really fell out and became old enemies who would never have any further contact.
In the evening, Pei An stepped into the study and went back with Song Guanzhou to rest.
Xu Lingbai couldn't bear it anymore and went back to the house. Even Rendong couldn't stand it anymore and was taken back by Xu Lingqiao to rest. In the study, besides Hehua and Dieyi who were dozing off beside the charcoal basin, there was only Song Guanzhou who was writing on an abacus.
Pei An stood at the door for a long time.
The woman in the room was so focused that the candlelight was dimmed and flickered by the cold wind. She just moved her eyelids and continued to move the abacus beads.
The abacus beads make a dull clattering sound.
The room was deserted, with only a woman with long braids and a frown on her face. She was clearly tired, but she was still working hard.
"Watching the boat..."
Pei An couldn't help it any longer and called her name softly to break the silence. Song Guanzhou looked up and saw the man standing at the side door. He couldn't help but smile, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
"How can I sleep if you don't sleep?"
After saying that, he walked over and said, "The charcoal fire is almost out, don't you feel cold?" He pulled up the delicate hand on the table and held it in his palm, and suddenly his face turned unhappy, "It's so cold, you are not allowed to work anymore, come back with me."
"the last point."
Song Guanzhou exerted a little effort and pulled Pei An to sit next to him. "It will be over soon."
Pointing to the messy manuscript paper, he said, "Let me calculate it again. Please wait for me, okay?"
Her eyes were bloodshot, yet still full of affection.
Pei An sighed: "Watching the boat, there is no end to the work..."
