The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 550

After Pei An took up his shift, Song Guanzhou took a short nap but was still woken up by Lanxiang who was in front of Qi Yueniang. She was sitting on the bed in the inner room and beckoned Lanxiang in with her hair.

The mess in the room was cleaned up early, and even the bedding under Song Guanzhou was changed.

The roses freshly picked in the morning were placed in a small-mouthed cloisonné royal blue vase, which was very refreshing. The small windows of the bedroom were open, and the cool breeze blew into the inner room, filling the room with the fragrance of flowers.

"Just come inside."

Lanxiang followed Rendong inside and knelt down to greet Song Guanzhou, "Fourth Young Master Madam, I came here rashly and disturbed your sweet dream. Please don't hold it against me."

"Don't worry about it, but your master sent you here in a hurry. What do you want?"

Song Guanzhou got off the bed, and Rendong helped her sit in front of the dressing mirror. Lanxiang also came to help comb her hair, "Madam, Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. It's a great day for family reunion, but the master is not at home. It's a bit lonely. It just so happens that the prince's husband has a new idea and has told my eldest young lady about it. The eldest young lady wants you to come over and take a look. Is it okay?"

"what idea?"

Lan Xiang lowered her head and leaned forward to look Song Guanzhou in the eye. "Basically, she said she had been to the Second Master's house. She said that the Second Master's daughters will be married one after another after September. They won't be able to spend a few days in the mansion idle, so it's better to get together and have some fun."

Song Guanzhou frowned slightly, "The two governments are in the same place..."

That's not lively, that's too lively! Song Guanzhou wanted to say no, but there were already quite a few people in this mansion, so she patted Lanxiang's hand and said, "Tell your young lady that I can eat and drink for free every day."

"After you wash up, you should go to our young lady. This morning, I have prepared your favorite porridge and dishes in the kitchen. You can go over and sit with us."

Huh?

Song Guanzhou snorted, "What's the matter? You are not willing to do anything without profit. Why are you so eager to get me to come over?"

Lan Xiang sighed, "To be honest, I had a little idea. I wanted to ask you, Madam, to persuade my mistress. She has been feeling sad these days. There are a lot of things to do in the mansion, and Qin Ge'er is not in good health. She is tired and busy and doesn't eat. She ate half a bowl of porridge at your place yesterday, and she has been waiting until now... I don't think it's a big deal."

Forget it, let my dear sister come over.

When they arrived in front of Kuoyuezhai, they saw a bunch of stewards coming in and out. Song Guanzhou was puzzled, so Lanxiang quickly explained, "Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, stewards from farms all over the country brought the harvested grain and account books. Madam Eldest Young Master got up before dawn, so I'm afraid it's almost over now."

Song Guanzhou had a stunning appearance, which was rarely seen by the other managers from other places. When they saw the fairy-like Fourth Young Master's wife, they immediately bowed and stood beside her, not daring to say a word for fear of disturbing the fairy.

What is even more surprising is the scarred woman following behind her. Tsk tsk, this young lady is so beautiful, but she likes to have an ugly maid with her. I'm afraid she has a spoiled temper.

Song Guanzhou stepped into Kuoyuezhai as her long skirt swept across everyone's lowered eyes.

In the central hall, Qi Yueniang was talking to two stewards. She did not bother them and went to the dining hall, telling Lanxiang, "Take your sister Rendong to get some porridge and vegetables. I will eat by myself. Rendong can read and write, so go and see if there is anyone who needs help from the eldest sister-in-law. Follow your instructions."

The two took the order and left.

Soon, the porridge and vegetables arrived, and Qi Yueniang stepped in, "Let me rest for a while, and have some porridge with Guanzhou."

Song Guanzhou looked up, "Workaholic."

"what?"

Qi Yueniang couldn't hear clearly, so Song Guanzhou explained one by one, "They said that you did a good job in handling the affairs of the government, working non-stop, almost to the point of forgetting to eat and sleep. Look at your maid, she was so anxious that she was angry, so she sent me, an idle person, to come and comfort you."

She made jokes and Qi Yueniang could only smile bitterly.

"It's not that I don't like to do it, but what can I do? Your second sister-in-law spread her hands and said she couldn't do anything about it. If I don't take care of everything, who will do it?"

"Where's the second steward? At worst, call the second brother as well."

Pei Chen?

Qi Yueniang sighed, "Before dawn today, your second brother took a few people to Cheng County." Cheng County? Song Guanzhou thought for a moment, "Where are they going? It's four or five hundred miles away from the capital."

"Who says it's not?"

Qi Yueniang was overwhelmed. "Yesterday, Aunt Qiao was ill and had a tendency to give birth prematurely. Your second sister-in-law only scolded Aunt Qiao for not looking at the road when walking. Your second brother didn't take it seriously. He called his friends early this morning and told me that he was going to prepare autumn crabs for the mansion."

……

Song Guanzhou was amazed.

I have a new perspective on this ancient dandy, "Is Aunt Qiao about to give birth?"

Qi Yueniang shook her head. "I don't bother to care. If your second sister-in-law doesn't say anything, I won't get involved. Anyway, your second sister-in-law is the mistress of the prince's room."

When she said this, her tone was full of fatigue.

Song Guanzhou personally served her some porridge and rice. "Take a break and eat a few bites. Lanxiang is worried sick if you don't eat."

Qi Yueniang sighed slightly, "I can't eat. My spleen is a little weak after autumn. I have no interest in eating anything and have no appetite."

"Since Second Brother has gone, will he come back for Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Qi Yueniang nodded, "Father is not at home. If he leaves again, how can things be good? A few days ago, my eldest sister wrote to me and asked about everything at home. I asked Pei Chen to reply to the letter, but I don't know if my eldest sister received it."

In the past, during every festival, the mansion would prepare gifts for Pei Qiuyun who was married to Liu Ke. Since Pei Chen had already gone there once at the beginning of the year, he didn't want to go there again, so he sent a steward to have the three-horse carriage with the items prepared by Qi Yueniang, along with a reply letter, delivered over in a grand manner.

Song Guanzhou narrowed his eyes and said, "Eldest sister, you haven't been home for many years, right?"

Anyway, when she was rescued, she had never seen the elder sister in the rumors. Qi Yue Niang shook her head, "Since the prince returned to southern Yunnan from the capital to inherit the title, he was not allowed to enter the capital without being summoned. So, it has probably been four or five years."

Liu Ke is different from He Jiang. Although they both share the title of a prince, Liu Ke, the Ming prince, is a real prince. He has the final say over fiefdoms, troops, and southern Yunnan.

In addition, His Majesty treats Prince Ming well and also takes good care of Prince Liu Ke.

Therefore, if Pei Qiuyun, the eldest daughter of a duke's mansion, did not have a legitimate son, she would have no advantage in becoming a princess of a county.

Qi Yueniang talked to Song Guanzhou for a while, and Song Guanzhou understood.

"Silang, please don't mention this elder sister. I also know very little about her. As someone who can be the princess of a county, the elder sister must be more dignified and generous than us, and she has both talent and learning."

That's natural.

"Life has its ups and downs, but my eldest sister has a straight character. The people in the Prince's Mansion are all fat and thin, and they are even more ridiculous than my second brother. It's not easy for my eldest sister."

Song Guanzhou heard the gossip and asked curiously, "Besides the prince, has your elder sister given birth to any other children?"

Speaking of this, Qi Yueniang shook her head repeatedly.

"Shi Lang never told you? Of course he had... a bunch of daughters."

what?
