The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 609

Just when Jin Fuyun was plotting to leave the house, Song Guanzhou was still unaware of what was happening outside the house. She and Xu Lingbai were really busy day and night just to settle the accounts for the Xiao family.

During this period, the pavilion on the side wing was also completed. Song Guanzhou looked at the carved wooden beams and pillars, the doors and windows decorated with flower and bird patterns, and originally thought it was just a prefabricated house. He never expected that there were so many skilled craftsmen in ancient times that it was made so beautifully.

Qin Qingdong took a look and was quite satisfied.

"Fortunately I didn't listen to your bad idea, otherwise the scenery of Shaohua Garden would be ruined. It has to be like this. It's snowing heavily in winter, and the one you mentioned before can't withstand the cold."

Song Guanzhou held his forehead and smiled bitterly, "I just thought that by the time it snowed in winter, the accounts would be almost done, but now it's getting more and more messy. Fortunately, Brother Liu and the carpenter did a good job, so we have this pavilion."

After a lot of contempt, Qin Qingdong pointed at Dieyi and Diewu and asked, "Are you used to it?"

Song Guanzhou said frankly that it was good.

"I know you are a person who can't manage maids and old women. Well, call Rendong." Dieyi covered her mouth and smiled as she went to invite Rendong. Song Guanzhou disliked him standing there and was annoying, so he drove him out, and then buried his head in the accounts with Xu Lingbai.

Qin Qingdong shook his head and went back to the flower stand, where fallen leaves were floating down, and there was only desolation.

Rendong personally poured tea and water, and only when she waited for Qin Qingdong to take the first sip of hot tea did she stand in front of Qin Qingdong and wait for instructions.

"How is it? Is it useful?"

Dieyi and Diewu stayed far away, and Rendong knelt down and replied, "Second Master, don't worry. Dieyi and Diewu are kind-hearted. Now the young mistress doesn't go out, but stays in Shaohua Garden, tiring the two sisters and the slaves to serve her together."

Qin Qingdong nodded.

"You are smart. Your master is a lazy person in Shaohua Garden. You are pointing fingers at her and telling you what to do. She is not that kind of person. You have to stand up and discipline her. You should discipline her inside and outside the gate. If she does something wrong, you should punish her. Your fourth master is here for everything. Don't be afraid of offending anyone. The same goes for Dieyi and Diewu. Their indentures are with Guanzhou. You should let go of your hands and feet to discipline them."

When Jindong heard this, she was filled with admiration and emotion.

Qin Qingdong is the younger brother of the Crown Princess, and he was probably never taken care of internal affairs in the Qin Mansion. When he arrived at Shaohua Garden, he was afraid that the young lady had a good temper and the servants would be disrespectful.

If it were another courtyard, and there was a young lady with such a soft personality, there would definitely be some trouble.

But it’s different in Shaohua Garden, everyone relies on the young lady to survive.

As for her, it goes without saying that if the young lady can use her, she will definitely swear allegiance to her until death.

"Second Master, don't worry. The Fourth Master and the Young Madam trust me and have entrusted all the trivial matters inside and outside the palace to me. Although I am stupid, I will do my best and will not let Shaohua Garden be criticized."

Qin Qingdong had seen the holiday gifts sent by Shaohuayuan twice, and to be honest, he couldn't find anything wrong with them.

Everything is just right.

It is not overly luxurious, but not out of place either. Everything is exquisite and touches the heart. Needless to say, it is all the work of honeysuckle.

If we rely on Song Guanzhou, we would have made too many jokes.

"I feel relieved to have you by Silang and Guanzhou's side." He then asked many more questions. When he was about to leave, he went to Song Guanzhou and said goodbye. "I'm afraid it will take some time for me to come back after I leave today. You're busy now, so I'm telling you this."

"Ok?"

Song Guanzhou looked up from the account book, quite puzzled, "You want to leave Beijing?"

Qin Qingdong laughed, "Of course not. Even though he is a royal relative, I was born on a good date and was chosen to be a funeral groom. From now on, I can't slack off for even a moment."

The mourners were responsible for pulling the coffins of deceased royal relatives and singing elegies to express mourning.

Qin Qingdong was unwilling in his heart, but he couldn't avoid it. He had no choice but to obey.

"Funeral? Who's dead?"

Song Guanzhou was confused. She knew about the position of mourner, but it was usually a temporary position assigned to royal family members, such as the emperor, the crown prince, or the prince, during their funerals.

After all, Qin Qingdong is the younger brother of the Crown Princess. With his status as a groom, the man must be a royal prince.

As expected, Qin Qingdong also became puzzled, "Didn't Silang tell you?"

After thinking about it, Song Guanzhou shook his head and said, "I never said anyone was missing." Qin Qingdong hesitated when he saw this, but Song Guanzhou knew the situation was not good at a glance.

"Tell me, Qin Er, who's missing?"

Qin Qingdong slapped his head and said, "…Prince An choked while eating a cake a few days ago and died."

ah--?

Song Guanzhou was stunned, "The prince is gone."

Qin Qingdong thought Pei An might be hiding something on purpose, and he was a little angry, so he just told Song Guanzhou everything, "Prince An passed away. Because he was valued by the emperor and the queen mother during his lifetime, the palace insisted that the royal family mourn for three months and all weddings and celebrations were suspended."

Song Guanzhou stood there in a daze.

After a moment, she burst into laughter and looked at Qin Qingdong, "So, the marriage between Jin Fuyun and Prince Yong will have to be postponed?"

Qin Qingdong didn't want to admit it, but how could he hide this matter?

On the day of the funeral, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion would also set up a mourning room to see the deceased off. He was a little annoyed that Pei An did not explain it to Song Guanzhou clearly.

"That's right. The palace has made its decision. We'll discuss it again after the new year."

Song Guanzhou put down the account book at this moment. Even Xu Lingbai stood up and looked over with some concern. "...This is too sudden. He choked to death. It feels strange to talk about it."

Qin Qingdong nodded.

"To be honest with you, Brother Lingbai, everyone felt that this letter was unreliable. It was said that the cats and dogs raised by the old prince were frightened and flew away. The old prince was very worried and rushed to save the kitten that was almost stepped on. However, the biscuit in his mouth was not chewed yet and he stumbled and the food got stuck in his throat. When the maids and servants called for the imperial physician, the kitten was already dead."

When Song Guanzhou heard that Jin Fuyun's marriage was about to take place but was delayed, he felt mixed emotions.

Is this really fate?

Jin Fuyun has to marry into the Duke Zhenguo’s Mansion and take her place?

Thinking of this, she felt irritated. Ren Dong knew the worry in the young lady's heart the best, so she immediately brought hot tea to her and said, "Young lady, you should take a rest for a while and have some hot tea."

So he helped Song Guanzhou to get some fresh air under the flower stand.

Qin Qingdong followed Song Guanzhou with ill intentions, "Guanzhou, could it be that Ji Zhang never told you about it?"

"unimportant."

Song Guanzhou was upset. She didn't care at all why Pei An hid it.

It just felt that the gears of fate could never deviate from the plot of the original novel. Her shoulders drooped, and her delicate face showed only helplessness.

"Don't worry, even if it's delayed until next year, we will get married in the spring."

Qin Qingdong comforted her, but she knew that if there was any delay, three months was neither long nor short, and something unexpected would always happen.

Thinking of this, she just felt tired.

"How could the old man, Prince An, be so full of himself after eating a cake..."
