The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 313

There were crowds of people outside the teahouse, but it was much quieter inside. Apart from the waiter and the tea doctor coming and going, the usually lively storyteller had also taken a break.

The masters and servants of the two families filled all the private rooms facing the windows in the teahouse.

Pei Shuyu was engaged and was no longer as restrained as before. She even arranged to invite a singing girl to the private room, who sang ditties in a graceful and graceful manner.

However, Pei Qiuyu was inevitably a little surprised when he first saw Xu Lingqiao, who looked like Song Guanzhou.

She had to ask a few questions. If the two young ladies of the Xiao family hadn't been there, she would probably have acted like the master of a mansion. After Xiao Yinxiu finished her work, she also entered the room. Shuangyue and Aunt Chu helped her sit down before she could take a break.

This private room had a good location, with two basins of ice inside to cool off the summer heat. There was a long corridor outside the window with a beauty chair on it. Xiao Yinmei and several other girls were outside, busy looking at the river.

"It's not urgent. I'm afraid it will take a while."

Wang Qionglan talked to her sister-in-law, then looked at the girls sitting in the private rooms of Xu Lingqiaohua Chonglou, "Go out and play with your sisters. The scene here is even more lively than Jiangzhou."

When the dragon boats came over and prepared to go, everyone could no longer hide their curiosity.

On weekdays, no matter they were dignified and quiet, or aloof and taciturn, when the drum sounded, they all rushed to the corridor outside. Xu Lingqiao was taken out by Hua Chonglou and Sun Lin. She looked carefully and saw that there were really a lot of people.

Looking further into the river, the colorful dragon boats were filled with people wearing the clothes of each dragon team, but their colors were brighter than usual, including peacock green, meadow blue, cardamom purple, beeswax yellow, and pale yellow. There were even a few teams painted sunset red, paddling over from afar, like a red dragon on the water.

This time she was looking forward to it, her eyes were full of thoughts and her face was calm.

She did not show any shyness among the ladies in the boudoir, which was quite amazing. Some people pointed at her and talked about her. Xu Lingqiao blushed slightly and found an excuse because the wind was strong to retreat among her sisters.

It was just this one glance that made people look at it.

The restaurant's bright red flag swayed in the wind. When Huang Dalang took a closer look, the woman's face was gone. He was in the restaurant next door and was shocked.

This woman...

This must be the girl he sent away last month. Why is she in the teahouse?

He immediately lost interest and stopped watching the dragon boats. He called the waiter in front of him, "Go and find out which restaurant has reserved the teahouse next door?"

The servant was about to leave when he received the order, but he grabbed his collar again and said, "Be quiet, don't let anyone know."

This year, the old lady of the Huang family was not feeling well, so the women did not come out. Huang Dalang and his two brothers had never been able to hang out together, so he found some good friends and reserved the best private room in the restaurant in advance.

Who could have expected that as soon as he tilted his head to take a look at the teahouses built side by side, he would instantly lose his soul.

The servant Qiu Bao was agile and eloquent. He asked about the situation in a few words and rushed upstairs. His own eldest son was not in the private room but had been waiting at the stairs. He walked up to him and whispered, "Young Master, this is the building rented by the Duke of Zhenguo's family."

what?

Huangzhou suddenly felt dizzy, "Can we ask who are the people inside?"

The servant said in embarrassment, "Since it is the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, there must be female relatives." Huang Zhou frowned and said, "The Duke's Mansion and the brothers of Lord Pei probably don't have so many female relatives--"

That woman never said she was a noble lady in the mansion.

With just one glance, he knew that the woman dressed like that was not a maid or a singing girl, but a graceful and dignified girl from a wealthy family... He felt horrified just thinking about it.

What would happen if the two brothers, who were not submissive, really touched the daughter of a powerful person?

Huangzhou usually just eats and waits for death, but now he has something on his mind and is at a loss.

He didn't bother to say anything to his drinking buddies, and went out with Qiu Bao to squeeze downstairs of the teahouse. Qiu Bao was puzzled and was almost separated by the crowd. "Master, let's go back upstairs to see what's going on."

Huang Dalang ignored him and rushed through the crowd to the side of the teahouse. Qiu Bao stepped forward to straighten his crooked bun. Before he could say anything, he heard the Liu family's steward stepped forward and greeted him, "Young Master, why are you looking downstairs? The third young master and my young master are upstairs."

ha?

Huang Zhou looked over and asked, "Which floor?"

The Liu family steward pointed to the Ming family inn behind the teahouse and said, "All the rooms on this street are rented out. My son has benefited from the Li family and is drinking in a room on the second floor. The third son Huang is also here. Why don't I take my eldest son up there?"

Huangzhou knew that he couldn't keep his face clean, so he shook his head like a rattle.

"No, no, I have a headache. I have to go back home."

The Liu family's steward didn't force him to do anything, and even considerately blocked the crowd for him, escorting him to a more spacious place before saying goodbye. He returned to the Ming Family Inn and reported to Liu Furan, "Sir, the teahouse next door is reserved by the Zhenguo family, but I just ran into the eldest son of the Huang family, who invited him here, but he said he had a headache and wanted to go back home."

This was said to Huang Zhi who was leaning against the window watching the dragon boat race. As expected, Huang Zhi turned around and smiled when he heard it, "Don't worry about him. My eldest brother is a casual person. He just said early this morning that he wanted to have a drink and watch the boat race with his drinking buddies. Why did he go back when the race is about to start——"

Speaking of this, the two words "Guanzhou" that were mentioned casually touched my heart.

He shook his head to get rid of the distracting thoughts that must not be there, and said to Liu Furan, "Since they are from the Zhenguo family, I'm afraid Pei Silang is here too. Brother Liu, remember what I said last time, Silang's wife wants to compete with the Xiao family's accountant in mathematics. Why not take this opportunity to ask Silang for a letter and go and see for yourself."

Liu Furan naturally remembered it, nodded, and instructed the steward to go find Pei Jia Silang.

Not long after, the Liu family's steward came back with a reply, "The fourth young master said that after the dragon boat race, he and Qin Erlang will come over to drink with the young masters."

“Excellent!”

Liu Furan smiled happily, "Then let's go get some good wine and food."

"If all the ladies of the mansion come, Silang won't be able to eat much, so don't spend money. Wait until he comes before making plans."

Huang Zhi suppressed the strangeness in his heart and looked calm and composed.

The dragon boat race is extremely lively.

Not to mention the people along the coast who were shouting and cheering, and the deafening sound of gongs and drums, even the ladies and wives of each family were pointing at the familiar dragon boats to cheer and encourage.

For a time, the event was unprecedented.

Xu Lingqiao was living in a prosperous place, but she was worried about Song Guanzhou being alone in the house.

Lotus looked at her jade-like face and saw that her brows were slightly furrowed, and she knew that something was on her mind.

He went forward to pour some sweet syrup, and said a few comforting words to her. Xu Lingqiao held Lianhua's hand and said, "You are worthy of being my cousin's lover. You are very good at talking. Good girl, don't worry about me."

Lotus stood beside her and said with a smile, "Cousin, don't waste your good time, or the young lady will feel sorry for you."
