Chapter 738 Chapter 738
After the couple went to sleep, Song Guanzhou suddenly asked, "When was Prince An's funeral?"
"Winter month twenty-second."
Song Guanzhou turned over and said to Pei An with a half-smile, "Is this a good day?"
"Ok?"
The day of the funeral is considered a good day for the deceased, but for the living...
Suddenly, Pei An thought of something.
He remained calm and said, "It's just a stretch. The date calculated by the Imperial Observatory was presented to the emperor and approved by the emperor. It must be an extraordinary date."
Although there was still a candle lit outside the curtain, it was much darker inside the curtain.
Song Guanzhou moved a few inches closer to the wall, but still couldn't see Pei An's expression clearly. She said calmly, "I think this day is a good day."
After saying that, he turned over and muttered that he was going to sleep.
Where she couldn't see, Pei An's lips curled up, smiling, and his tone was the same as always, "My wife, go to bed early, your husband has to go on duty tomorrow."
snort!
Song Guanzhou thought, never mind, that’s it.
What can you do by pointing at a man?
The next morning, before she got up, she felt something chilly on the side of her bed. Pei An had already been a servant of the imperial court. Ren Dong heard the noise and brought He Hua and Qing Fang in with hot water and a toothbrush. "Madam, do you feel cold?"
Song Guanzhou folded his arms and nodded, "I was woken up by the cold. As soon as Silang left the bed, it was like missing a hot water bottle."
When the little maids heard this, they all lowered their heads and smiled.
Honeysuckle came forward with clothes in her arms, "Young Madam, it snowed in the middle of the night. Although it's not heavy, it's a thin layer, so it's cold."
Hey!
Song Guanzhou didn't bother to put on the clothes that Ren Dong brought, and walked to the window frame. She pushed the window sash gently, and the window was propped up. She saw a piece of white snow by the window. She picked up a small handful of snow with her bare hands, rubbed it, turned her head and looked at Ren Dong with a smile, "It's really snowing."
The childlike smile infected the maids.
They all came over and wanted to talk about the good places to go in the snow in winter. Song Guanzhou touched their buns and said, "Forget it, I will take you there after your young lady finishes her work."
Zhuanggu came in with a charcoal basin and shouted, and Qingfang ran to help open the door.
"Wow, it's burning brightly."
"Of course I am. I got some hot coals from the kitchen to prepare the base, as I was afraid that it would not be warm enough after birth. Madam is recovering from her illness and must not catch a cold."
Last time, a high fever scared Shao Huayuan so much that she shed tears. Now, whenever anyone gets cold or hot, Zhuanggu, Mengsao and Rendong are very careful.
Sure enough, when the charcoal basin was brought into the house, Song Guanzhou felt warm.
"How can it be so precious? By the way, is Cang-ge'er coming soon?" This question was asked to Rendong, who shook her head slightly, "I haven't heard any news from the concierge or the people in front of the prince. I'm afraid it will be delayed for two days."
Song Guanzhou muttered as he changed his clothes, "He should come soon, otherwise I won't be able to do my job. I'm not afraid of offending people, but I'm afraid that if it really comes out, Xiao Cang won't be able to bear it."
Ren Dong had been helping with the copying work. Hearing this, she sighed, "The Xiao family is so big and powerful, it's inevitable that such a parasite would appear."
"Sister Dong'er is smart. Even though the meat is rotten in the pot, it is still ours, but the Xiao family still has to continue its glory for a hundred years, so these things must be dealt with."
Corruption, fraud, deceiving superiors and subordinates are all vividly reflected in these account books.
Perhaps it was because she learned from the old lady of the Qin family that the Xiao family was not aiding and abetting the evil, that she had a better impression of the Xiao family.
Especially Xiao Cang.
In this world, there are only one or two people who can discuss and settle accounts with her, and one of them must be Xiao Cang.
"Don't worry. I think since the Fifth Master has asked the Young Madam to do this personally, he will definitely be determined to handle it."
"Well, we are looking forward to his coming. We have sent several carts of delicious food and drinks, but there are few people."
After changing clothes and about to eat some porridge and vegetables to fill their stomachs, Xu Lingbai brought Xu Lingqiao to Shaohua Garden. The three siblings did not hesitate to sit down and eat together.
Having just finished his meal and about to get back to work, Xu Lingqiao quickly called Song Guanzhou.
"Sit inside for a while."
After saying that, she took Hehua and supported Song Guanzhou to the inner room without permission, "Sister, what's this?"
Quite mysterious.
Unexpectedly, Xu Lingqiao smiled and told Lianhua to open the small bag she was carrying. Then, Rendong followed in and watched the cloth bag being opened layer by layer. She exclaimed, "Oh, such a good craft. Was it made by my cousin herself?"
"It's winter now. The underwear we used to wear is made of silk, which is a bit cold when worn close to the skin. I thought the brocade material that Miss Mu sent was very good, so I made two sets for Guan Zhou."
"This is the benefit of having a sister. She always thinks of me."
Given Song Guanzhou's love for these ancient clothes and embroidery patterns, she couldn't put down the clothes sewn by Xu Lingqiao.
He thanked her in a very polite manner, which made Xu Lingqiao blush. Then he stopped and took a last look at the dignified Xu Lingqiao. He sighed in his heart that if it weren't for that vicious woman Jin Fuyun who did such a cruel thing, the girl in front of him could have married into an upper-middle-class family.
But unfortunately——
Something like this happened...
Otherwise, even the brothers of Mrs. Xiao Bei, Zhang Fanghui, had been mentioned by this cousin-in-law several times, not to mention the young man from the Qi family.
Once, it was heard that Qi Yue Niang's cousin came over and happened to meet Xu Lingqiao who was paying respects in Kuoyue Zhai. Just the half of his profile slightly exposed beside the screen made Qi's husband lose his mind.
I met my cousin privately and asked her why.
Hearing that she was the younger sister of Mr. Xu, who was newly admitted as a Jinshi this year, Qi Jia Liulang, who also took part in the imperial examination but unfortunately failed, liked her even more.
“But are you a descendant of the Huaifeng Xu family?”
Qi Yueniang looked at her 22-year-old cousin and nodded with a smile, "Of course she is. She is the niece of our fourth family's mother-in-law. She is one of the best in character and appearance. She has lived in the mansion for a few months. I have seen that this girl is cautious in her words and deeds and treats people gently. Even a picky person like the Crown Prince's wife likes her very much."
Yes, Xiao Yinxiu quite likes Xu Lingqiao.
This matter left Qi Yueniang completely puzzled.
Otherwise, the second family would look at Song Guanzhou as if he were their enemy for ten lifetimes. This Xu Lingqiao is not only Guanzhou's biological cousin, but also looks like him.
Xiao Yinxiu was unexpectedly close to Xu Lingqiao. Every time he met her, he would hold her hand and chat about the past.
After hearing this, Qi Liulang fell in love with her even more.
"I'd like to trouble you, elder sister, to help me find out if there's any marriage plan."
Qi Yueniang knew her cousin's thoughts, and she sighed, "We haven't arranged a marriage yet. I have thought that marrying a good girl like this back home would definitely be a blessing, but it seems that he doesn't want to arrange a marriage in the capital."
Uh--
Qi Liulang's heart choked, "The young men in our capital are not bad either..."
