Chapter 616
When Pei An was helping him wash up, he heard Pei An ask, "Ren Dong, regarding the death of Prince An, you should persuade the young lady more on weekdays. I know it will not be right for Miss Jin to marry He Jiang, but I am thinking of a way."
Honeysuckle knew that her status was low, so she could only agree to it.
"Don't worry, Fourth Young Master. Young Madam is intelligent. She always tells us to look forward. If the eldest lady still has bad intentions towards Young Madam, I will advise her not to go out and stay in Shaohua Garden. Even though that woman is powerful, I'm afraid she can't reach the mansion."
"That's good to think of it."
Rendong brought Pei An's breakfast, but she put the plate of snacks that she had made in the middle of the night in the steamer in the small kitchen and never took it out.
Pei An finished eating and changed his clothes. When he was about to go on duty, he paused.
After thinking for a moment, he turned back to the inner room, lifted the curtain, leaned down, and placed a deep kiss on the sleeping face.
When Pei An lowered the curtain and left, the woman who was originally sleeping soundly woke up slowly.
Her eyes were like stars in the dark night, shining with a lonely and cold light in the darkness. Song Guanzhou did not sleep well that night. Her long hair was half wet and dragged on the edge of the bed, falling on the blanket covered by honeysuckle on the floor.
It was difficult to turn over, so she sat up several times, stroking her long hair in a daze.
Whenever she woke up, Pei An was still soundly asleep, but when she lay down again, that warm chest leaned against her from behind again.
Not a word, as if he wasn't awake.
Holding her tightly like this, Song Guanzhou's slender hands pressed on his big hands on her waist and abdomen, and were instantly held in the palms of those big hands and warmed up.
The couple just went to Pei'an and got up.
Song Guanzhou knew that Pei An had smoothed her dry long hair and placed it on the pillow. He seemed to look at her for a while before getting up and leaving.
Her eyes were dry, because she cried in the bathtub last night and her eyes felt uncomfortable today.
She closed her eyes, feeling exhausted, and without saying anything more, she turned over and fell asleep.
The sun was already high in the sky when Song Guanzhou finally got up. After washing up, he sat at the dining table. Then Rendong brought him hot jujube flower crisps and lotus, moss, taro and lean meat soup.
Song Guanzhou picked up half a piece and put it in his mouth. It was crispy, soft and dense, with a sweet and sticky taste.
"When was this done?"
Jujube flower pastry is not simple to make. I heard from Xu Lingqiao that it takes three to five hours to make, and the mung beans need to be soaked for two hours before they can be cooked into bean paste.
Seeing that Song Guanzhou was in a very good mood and enjoyed the food, Rendong felt relieved.
"I made it this morning, Madam, take a look. Is it possible that it is as good as what my cousin made?"
Song Guanzhou nodded repeatedly, "Delicious!"
The sweetness she tasted on her tongue soothed her desolate heart. After eating two, she picked up half a piece and fed it to Honeysuckle's mouth.
Honeysuckle was caught off guard and was fed red-handed, "Madam..., I, I dare not worry."
Song Guanzhou smiled knowingly, "Thank you, Sister Rendong, I'm lucky to have you."
How could she not know? This exquisite girl must have known that she was sad, so she stayed up in the middle of the night to make some sweet snacks for her to enjoy and eat.
Honeysuckle swallowed the jujube flower cake she had made, tears welling up in her eyes.
She tried to restrain herself, lowered her head and said, "Young Madam, you said something polite. I am so lucky to be in your presence."
Song Guanzhou playfully leaned over and tilted his head to look up at the standing honeysuckle.
"Are you going to cry, dear sister?"
Honeysuckle looked at the young lady who tilted her head like a little girl, turned sideways and covered her mouth with her hands, and burst out laughing, "Young lady is fine, I am relieved."
Song Guanzhou waved his hand.
"Work hard for the house that Cang'er gave me!" She took another big mouthful of lotus, moss, taro and lean meat porridge, puffed out her cheeks and said to Rendong, "When the time comes, we will leave you four young masters alone and take our maids and cousins to live in Jiangzhou permanently."
"Okay! Let the Fourth Young Master work for His Majesty in the capital, and we won't care about him."
Honeysuckle started joking, and Song Guanzhou nodded repeatedly.
"That's right, let him work like a cow and a horse! My aunt has said many times that Jiangzhou has beautiful mountains, beautiful waters and even better people. I can stay there and it won't bother the princess."
The princess of the county...
When Honeysuckle mentioned this person, she gritted her teeth.
"I really don't understand, with her character, how can she be the princess of a county prince?"
Song Guanzhou chuckled and pulled Rendong to sit down. "You should also eat with me. I really hope she can become the princess of a county. If she does something out of line like this again, the Prince of Yong will not sit idly by."
"But, she has such capable parents. I think Prince Yong will have to be careful."
Whoops!
Song Guanzhou snorted, "Once she gets married, she will be tied to He Jiang. He Jiang will never allow her to be so presumptuous. She is dreaming when she already has a man and still covets Si Lang."
Seeing this, Ren Dong said carefully, "But now we are in mourning and the wedding date has been delayed. I'm afraid something unexpected will happen."
"We'll take it one step at a time. Don't worry. I'm doing the accounting in Shaohua Garden. No matter how capable she is, she won't be able to come in and harm me."
Honeysuckle seemed to want to talk but hesitated. She couldn't open her mouth to tell Lotus what she had heard yesterday.
Song Guanzhou ate meat porridge and snacks, but felt that it was not enough, so he begged Rendong to cook her a bowl of shredded chicken salty noodle soup.
These days, work has been really hard.
Hearing that she still wanted to eat, Rendong immediately got up and went to the small kitchen. She saw Zhuanggu and Mengsao coming over from Biluozhai, "Why aren't you there serving the fourth young lady?"
"Come and get some things. The fourth lady said today that she will treat our young lady to a good meal at Rongfu Garden at noon."
When Honeysuckle heard this, she started laughing.
Zhuang Gu was now bold enough to joke, "Speaking of which, the fourth young lady and the second young master are a perfect match. They are both cheerful people. The cousin even said that she would be the host, but the fourth young lady Wen stopped her and said that there is a long time to come, and today is the day for me to come."
She was a good singer and songwriter, and she convinced Xu Lingqiao.
He and Xu Lingqiao went to Biluozhai early in the morning to pay their respects to Zhang Fanghui and had breakfast with her.
When Zhuang Gu and Meng Sao came to get their needlework and were about to report it to the young lady, Ren Dong stopped them and said, "It's just a small matter. I'll take the noodles and report it to you later. But if you have time, you should go out a few more times and see if there is any news. Find out a little bit, so that we in this courtyard will not be unaware of the world's major events."
Mrs. Meng smiled and said, "I haven't been there these few days because my fellow villager has gone back home. Don't worry, I'll go out at noon to buy some silk and satin for the young lady."
"Well, find out more, especially about the Jin family's marriage."
Seeing this, Zhuanggu said, "Why don't I go out with Sister Meng? She goes east and I go west, so that we can explore more."
"Alright."
