Chapter 903 Chapter 903
They were about to have dinner, and Lin Shan and Lin Xi came over to bring wine to Song Guanzhou. Pei An looked at the knee-high wine jar, held his forehead and smiled bitterly, "Your young lady can't drink wine now."
"The master ordered that the young lady is the only one in the mansion who has similar interests to him, so he should keep it for her first, and they can have a drink together someday when they are free."
Pei An sighed, "It turns out that my father dislikes us."
Lin Shan smiled and said, "Fourth Young Master, you, the Crown Prince, and the two cousins all like warm-natured rice wine, yellow wine, green wine, and the like. The Master likes Fenjiu and Zhuyeqing. To be honest, only the Young Madam can drink with him."
Pei An shook his head repeatedly, "It's our fault."
After asking around, he learned that his father hadn't eaten yet, so he simply asked Linxi Linshan to bring the dishes on the table that hadn't been eaten yet and go to Zhengxian Pavilion.
"It's getting dark, and my father hasn't had his meal yet. My cousin and I will go and have a drink with him."
Lin Shan smiled and said, "At noon, the young mistress came over to pay her respects and coaxed the master into eating an extra bowl of rice, so dinner was a little late."
"Aru——"
Pei An then ordered the servant, "Go to the second brother's room and invite him in."
He asked Xiao Bei again, but Xu Lingbai stopped him, "My fourth cousin went to the academy, and my fourth cousin's wife is in confinement after giving birth. He thinks my sister is noisy--"
Xu Lingbai said this in front of Song Guanzhou, which made Song Guanzhou feel disgusted.
It was Ren Dong and Xu Ling Qiao who comforted her, "It's useless for you to stay here, there's a wet nurse to take care of the baby, and your wife is in confinement, so men can't help. Don't be bored with her."
Song Guanzhou frowned, "I'm here to talk to my fourth cousin. Giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell for a woman. Now she's in the capital, and she doesn't have any help from her parents or in-laws. My fourth cousin left, and my cousin is upset. Who can she talk to?"
Honeysuckle covered her mouth and laughed, "My young lady, you are worrying too much."
Xu Lingqiao also agreed, "If my fourth cousin can pass the exam, it will make my cousin's wife happier than accompanying him during the confinement period. Besides, my fourth cousin's wife is also weak during the confinement period, and she has to take care of my cousin, which is very tiring."
In Zhang Fanghui's words, don't stay in my room all day, playing with cats and dogs. It's even more frustrating to provoke two maids for no reason. It's better to go to the academy and study hard to make progress.
Song Guanzhou: …
Seeing the young lady's unspeakable expression, Ren Dong whispered to comfort her, "Before she was born, the Crown Prince's wife asked the young lady if she wanted to arrange two maids for the young master."
puff!
Outrageous!
Song Guanzhou snorted and laughed, "When it comes to other people's affairs, she is very virtuous."
Xu Lingqiao supported her and spoke a rare fair word for Xiao Yinxiu, "The lady of the prince found someone here, at least she knows her background and background, which is better than someone that the cousin brought in from outside."
When Song Guanzhou heard this, he asked, "Is my cousin also a lecher?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the maids who came in laughed.
Qi Yueniang came over in the morning and heard about this. She poked Song Guanzhou on the forehead and laughed, "How dull do you think your fourth cousin is?"
"At least... at least go with my cousin and Shiro."
"Oh, my aunt, Silang and cousin are rare with good temperaments. Your fourth cousin is also handsome, but he doesn't bring her into the room. He is not like your second brother, who falls in love with every girl he sees."
However, he is definitely not someone who dislikes women.
Song Guanzhou held his face in his hands, "Ahhh, my fourth cousin looks like a gentleman!"
Qi Yueniang stretched out her jade-white finger and poked her forehead twice, "There are so many brothels and brothels all over the streets, do you think the girls there are just for show?"
She endured it and didn't mention it, but Pei An used to go to the Manyue Tower every few days.
Xu Lingqiao smiled lightly, "Guan Zhou, this is the way the world works. It's unavoidable for a man to love these things."
Song Guanzhou twisted his waist and said, "I thought my fourth cousin only liked my fourth sister-in-law."
"What a lie!"
Qi Yueniang sat down next to her and said, "In wealthy families, even if they don't take concubines, there are still a few maids in the house. They know the family well and are clean and worry-free. It would be disgusting if those rotten hoofs outside were really brought into the house."
So, Xiao Yinxiu did a good thing.
"Then the fourth sister-in-law didn't want it..."
"Of course not."
Song Guanzhou curled his lips, "Come to think of it, Fourth Sister-in-law also cares about it."
Well, how could anyone not care? However, Zhang Fanghui's refusal was not for this reason, "Now that I am living in the mansion, having a child is already a great joy. If I take in concubines or maids, it would be a bit ignorant of etiquette."
Song Guanzhou let out a long sigh, and his shoulders dropped.
"I absolutely cannot tolerate that."
"Don't worry, Shiro only has you in his heart."
Fortunately, after this little incident, Xiao Bei went to Longen Academy and never came back, otherwise Song Guanzhou would have felt that he looked down on Xiao Bei.
If Xiao Bei knew this, he would definitely cry out in injustice.
He only had one or two maids in his house, and no concubines. He was considered a gentleman of good character, but Song Guanzhou still looked down on him...
Because Xiao Bei was not around, Pei Chen went out to wander around. Only Pei An and Xu Lingbai were in Zhengxian Pavilion, accompanying Pei Jian for dinner.
After Pei Jian heard what Pei An said about Xu Lingbai, he asked the two for their opinions.
Pei An and Xu Lingbai had roughly the same idea and did not want to rely on personal connections in the Ministry of Rites to get promoted.
"I think that my cousin started as a county magistrate, so it is easier to achieve this political achievement. It is just as Guan Zhou said. Even if my cousin shows his face in front of the royal family, it is not easy for him to rise to the top."
Even if your foundation is shallow, you still have to endure.
Xu Lingbai didn't like to hide his feelings in front of Pei Jian and his son. After he bowed his hands to express his gratitude, he spoke from the bottom of his heart, "My sister Ling Qiao, the bad things that happened to you this year must have been done by someone in the capital. For your future, I think it's better for you to leave the capital."
"Although my niece's matter is heartbreaking, we should look forward to it. We should forget about such things as soon as possible and not miss out on important events in our lives."
Pei Jian saw through it and felt relieved.
"However, I agree with Ling Bai's idea. What Guan Zhou said is also very reasonable. In fact... it is indeed an opportunity. But I think that Ling Bai is only in his twenties. It is a good time for him to travel around and understand the people's sentiments. Starting as a county magistrate, it will be hard to get promoted, but it may not be a safe career path."
As he spoke, he mentioned Pei An again.
"You two are of similar age and cousins, so you will definitely help each other in the future..." Pei An has been in the Ministry of Personnel for a full year, and he will probably be sent out.
Pei Jian was not obsessed with being a close minister beside the emperor. Instead, he felt that the world was vast and a real man should have ambitions and would definitely achieve great things.
The two of them were relieved after receiving Pei Jian's valuable advice. "Then let's leave the capital and become the county magistrate of Zhong County."
