Chapter 656 Chapter 656
This kind of thing is well known to everyone. The parents' family makes the arrangements, and the husband's family accepts it as their own.
But once Hongxiu knelt down, the incident became public.
Gu Miaofeng shook her head. "Mother is thinking long-term, but Sister Shuyu is very stubborn, Hongxiu is trying to commit suicide, and the third cousin of the Mei family kneeled down in front of her and said no..."
"After all this commotion, the matter of Hongxiu will be over."
Qi Yueniang sighed, "If she really went with the dowry, the young couple would have a quarrel if they saw the maid Hongxiu in the back room."
Song Guanzhou was also enlightened.
Ren Dong came in with a food box and laid out some snacks and fruits for the three masters. Gu Miaofeng picked up a piece with a silver stick and ate half a bite. "Qianweizhai's soft cotton cake is not selling well."
"Aru lined up at Qianweizhai early in the morning. I heard that there were a lot of people here today. I almost couldn't buy any of these pastries. I heard that the people behind me were out of stock."
Qi Yueniang also took a bite and nodded slightly.
"Speaking of women, Fourth Brother's wife, you are the young lady that everyone in the capital envied."
Song Guanzhou frowned, "Why are you envious? My two sisters-in-law know me. I just want to go to a better place."
Gu Miaofeng nodded repeatedly.
"Aren't women supposed to look forward and think about the good things in life? If you let yourself get angry every day, you will be angry forever."
Family matters are really not Song Guanzhou's strong point.
After finally entertaining the two sisters-in-law, Song Guanzhou held a fan in his jade hand and sighed at Jin Dong, "…If my second brother hadn't messed around, Sister Dong'er would probably have a son and a daughter now."
After hearing this, Honeysuckle smiled and shook her head.
"Madam, we have come this far, and looking back, it's all life. Maybe you saved your face but lost your life. Who knows if you can choose another path and it will be safe?"
This makes sense.
"Sister Dong'er is very clear about this."
Ren Dong adjusted her skirts slightly, looked up at the setting sun with squinted eyes, and said, "Madam, the weather is nice, why don't you lie down for a while."
Song Guanzhou nodded slightly.
After the maids had arranged the recliners and high tables and brought hot tea and snacks, Song Guanzhou asked Rendong to sit down as well, and the master and servant began to chat.
"...I can't keep you in my presence. If there is anything suitable, just tell me and I will grant your permission."
Ok?
Honeysuckle was peeling sunflower seeds for her. When she heard this, she suddenly looked up and asked, "…Why did the young lady think of this?"
"When I heard the two sisters-in-law mention Pei Shuyu's marriage, I suddenly thought of the people in this room. You and Zhuanggu Mengsao are still of good age. If someone comes to propose marriage, don't be shy and reject them all. I am open-minded and hope that you will have a husband."
It’s not that the couple is in love, after all, this is the way the world is.
For many women of this era, being able to get married and have a small family means that life has hope.
Hearing this, Ren Dong covered her mouth and laughed, "My young lady, you are still worrying about these things. The slaves have signed a death contract, and the master can do whatever he wants."
"That won't work!"
Song Guanzhou immediately denied it, "This is a couple's life, of course we have to be more considerate, and we can't lack in character and responsibility."
Seeing that the young lady was serious, Rendong realized that she was not joking.
She sat upright with a gentle look in her eyes, looking at the young lady who was fanning herself on the recliner, and said sincerely, "I don't know what Sister Meng and Aunt Zhuang are thinking for now, but I... to be honest with you, young lady, there is no reason for me to find a man to rely on."
"Why?"
Song Guanzhou opened his eyes and looked at Rendong. She was only in her twenties, which was the prime of her life no matter which dynasty she was in.
Honeysuckle lowered her eyes and unconsciously touched the scar on her cheek with her backhand.
"Madam, I just want to serve you well now."
"How is this a conflict?"
Song Guanzhou sat up straight and took Rendong's hand. "Even if you have a family, you can still do things for me. I don't have many rules here, you know."
Honeysuckle nodded repeatedly.
"I'm not afraid that you and the Fourth Young Master will dislike me, but my face is ruined now. If I really want to find a caring man, I know it will be difficult. Besides, I'm afraid of men. The short-lived one in front of me was nothing outside, but he liked to torture me in the house... Who else can I rely on? I might as well rely on you."
Song Guanzhou lay down slowly. She looked at Rendong's profile and found that she was indeed a beauty.
"I'm not urging you to look for it, just like my cousin. If you can find it, that's better. If you can't, your cousin and I will not stand idly by. It's just—"
Song Guanzhou fanned himself slightly, and she let out an almost inaudible sigh.
"I'm afraid that one day, I won't be able to protect you."
After hearing this, Rendong raised his head quickly and saw the lady's pretty face, which was filled with peace and warmth under the sun. However, these words made her heart flutter.
"Young Madam, don't think too much. I don't think Jin Fuyun can make any waves. Her reputation is ruined now. I heard that the eldest son of the Jin family has imprisoned her. It is impossible for her to make any waves again."
Song Guanzhou waved his hand, "It's not just because of her. Life is not always smooth. There will be many difficulties and accidents in the future. You have a small family. You can support each other in the future. Even if you are not by my side, you will not be without a way out."
Honeysuckle shook her head repeatedly.
"Young Madam, you shouldn't think like that. You are a wealthy and powerful person, and you and the Fourth Young Master are in perfect harmony. You will surely live in love until old age."
"Wouldn't it be better if we could love each other till old age and you could have children and grandchildren?"
Having said this, she suddenly became interested, and called for Hehua to call Meng Sao and Zhuang Gu, and also brought Die Yi and Die Wu to her side.
He called them to sit down, and the master and servants smelled the fragrance of osmanthus in the winter and listened to the young lady's words.
Just the first sentence made the maids and sisters-in-law faint.
Die Wu stuttered, "Young Madam, why did you think of this out of the blue?"
Ren Dong covered her mouth and smiled, "It's because the young lady feels sorry for us that she asked about us just now."
Die Wu shook her head repeatedly, "Young Madam, I never had such thoughts."
Song Guanzhou was even more puzzled, "Why? Lotus is younger, and I won't have to worry about her for now. But you and Dieyi are of the same age, if one of you likes someone, tell me, Madam, and I will make the decision for you."
Dieyi blushed, "I have only been serving you for a short time, how could I think about these marriage matters?"
"Think about it. If you like your senior brother, just tell me. If you can't bear to let me go, I will go to Qin Er to ask for your senior brother to come over, and all of them will marry into my family. How do you think?"
Hey!
Diewu and Dieyi waved their hands repeatedly, their faces flushed, which made people laugh.
"Young Madam, you must not do that!"
