Chapter 312
Chapter 312
The Dragon Boat Festival is supposed to be a grand occasion, and Mrs. Mei had sent people to talk about watching the dragon boat race early on. Unfortunately, Song Guanzhou had a problem with his legs, so Pei An personally dismissed everyone.
When Mrs. Min heard this, she pulled Pei An and said distressedly, "You are tired from working every day. Today is the festival, why don't you go with your brothers and sisters. I know you can't let go of Guanzhou, and I didn't like the hustle and bustle in the past, so I will go to accompany Guanzhou."
Pei An even said he didn't dare, Xiao Cang moved to Pei An, "Fourth cousin, you go, my mother and I will go to Guanzhou, it's very lively there."
"Yo!"
Xiao Du walked over, fanning himself. "Didn't you enjoy these excitements in the past? The day before yesterday, you even mentioned that you wanted to see whether the dragon boat races in the capital were more exciting or in Jiangzhou?"
"I don't want to go today. I'm blind anyway, so I can't see it all."
Mrs. Min cried out, "You evil creature, few people say that about themselves. You brothers and sisters have always loved the hustle and bustle, so just go. Your Second Aunt Mei has made careful arrangements, so don't miss the time."
Pei An returned to Shaohua Garden, but saw that it was full of people. The three brothers Qin were sitting around Song Guanzhou, and even Qin Qingdong was there.
He sat aside drinking tea and teasing Song Guanzhou.
"Is it because of Tai Sui?"
After not seeing him for a few days, he became lame...
Song Guanzhou ignored him. Qin Qingdong pointed at Xiao Cang who followed Pei An in and sighed, "Why did you save him? He's a man, so he should be more flexible than you. Look, he's alive and kicking, but you've become a crippled woman."
"Qin Er!"
Song Guanzhou could no longer bear it, and looked at Qin Qingdong with eyes wide open, "Today is a festival, isn't there a dragon boat race? Go and watch it, don't bother me here."
He turned around and told the two sisters Hua Chonglou next to him, "My second aunt will call me in a while. You and my cousin should go with the Pei family's motorcade to see it. We will have someone to take care of you on the way back and forth. You can come to my place for dinner in the evening."
Hua Chonglou smiled and said, "Young Madam is such a worrywart. The most important thing for you now is to take good care of yourself. Lin'er and I will leave the house soon. There are so many people here today, I'm afraid the medicine shop will be even busier, so I'll have to go back to help out."
Sun Lin nodded and said, "My family is also waiting for the festival, so we won't bother you at your house for dinner. We will come to your house the day after tomorrow to change the medicine for you, Madam."
Pei An came up to him and told him about his trip out to play.
"Second Aunt and Big Brother Hua have sent people to tell Guanzhou that he can only stay at home if he is like this. Cousins don't have to stay near Guanzhou. They can go outside and see what's going on."
Xu Lingqiao expressed her desire to stay at Song Guanzhou's house.
Song Guanzhou waved his hands quickly, "No, no, no, in a while, I will leave only Jindong by my side, and the others will go out to play. It's not easy for women to go out, and we finally have a New Year's holiday, so don't waste it in the backyard."
Xiao Cang stepped forward, a little embarrassed, "I can't see anyway, so I'll stay here with you..."
"Fuck off!"
Song Guanzhou showed no tenderness, "You guys will go away soon, I also want to take a nap, why should I accompany you!" He raised his head and looked at Pei An, "You too, although the guests in the mansion are all close relatives, you still have to show the host's kindness, you don't have to stay by my side, I just have difficulty in moving, I'm not going to die immediately..."
"Watch the boat!"
"Young lady!"
"cousin……"
There were voices coming one after another, quite complaining about Song Guanzhou. Pei Yuhuan stood in front of him, like a little adult, "Happy Dragon Boat Festival, he is not dead yet."
Song Guanzhou held his face with both hands and smiled at everyone, "Yes, yes, yes! Fourth Aunt will remember it..."
Alu came running in from outside, "Fourth Young Master, Young Master Hua has sent someone to say that the carriages are waiting at the corner gate. Please hurry over."
Qin Qingdong stood up and said, "Come on, come on, it's lively today. Guan Zhou is right. It only happens once a year. Don't leave any regrets."
Seeing this, Pei An had no choice but to agree.
Ren Dong also told the maids and servants to protect the cousins and the other two and not to be greedy for the scenery and lose their duties. Xu Lingqiao pondered for a moment, then walked up to Song Guanzhou and whispered in his ear, "Guanzhou, why don't you... I won't go."
She is afraid!
She was afraid that someone would recognize her and that she would fall into the hands of the bad guys again.
Song Guanzhou stroked her hair and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Be open and aboveboard. You are the cousin of the mansion. If a villain offends you, the maids and servants of the mansion are not just for show. We will fight back. I will take care of everything, dear sister."
Xu Lingqiao knew Song Guanzhou's feelings. She lowered her eyes and hid her worries. "It's good for me to stay with you at home."
"What good?"
Song Guanzhou was rarely serious. "Next year, if my cousin passes the imperial examination and takes up an official position outside the capital, I'm afraid he won't be able to spend the Dragon Boat Festival in the capital. Sister, relax and have fun with the sisters in the mansion. It's lively and lively."
This is the day to get back on track.
Pei An couldn't even argue with Song Guanzhou, let alone Xu Lingqiao.
Rendong also came over to persuade them, and Xu Lingqiao had no choice but to obey respectfully. After packing up with Hua Chonglou and Sun Lin, they followed Qin Qingdong, Pei An and others out of Shaohua Garden.
Xiao Yinxiu also arrived at the Chuihua Gate and saw her sisters and it was very lively.
She looked over carefully and saw that the lame Song Guanzhou was not there. She felt relieved. Without her, nothing would happen today.
As there were more than a dozen dragon boat teams competing in the capital, it was an unprecedented event, so several of Pei Jian's elders wanted to go along.
As a result, there were more than ten horse-drawn carriages in the mansion. Young men like Pei An, horseback guards, maids and old women also received savings and had a relaxing half day. Some followed the mansion's carriages, while some formed groups and went to the river on their own.
For a moment, the huge mansion was empty.
Mrs. Min wanted to accompany Song Guanzhou, but Pei An declined. "Don't worry, aunt. Guanzhou is always at ease." He personally helped Mrs. Min into the carriage. "It's not easy to come to the capital, how can you not feast your eyes."
The mansion was capable and had rented a three-story teahouse along the river early on.
Pei Hai brought the servants and maids to clean up the teahouse early in the morning, and waited at the door for the arrival of the masters of the mansion.
This is also a common practice. Although the whole building is rented out, if you meet someone you are good friends with and they don’t have a good spot, you will be invited to look at a spot upstairs.
After Pei Jian led everyone down the carriage and entered the teahouse, Xu Lingqiao, who was on the third floor, looked at the crowds of people on both sides of the river, turned around and said to Hua Chonglou, "This is the only time in my life that I have met so many people."
Hua Chonglou took her arm and said, "Young Madam is right. Cousin, you should go out for a walk."
There were countless spectators on both sides of the river, and the hawkers' cries were sharper than usual. The large ships in the river had been cleared out early, and there were many small boats floating on the river bank, closer to the dragon boats.
The original two-arch stone bridge is now covered in red and decorated with colorful decorations.
The people of Beijing are all looking forward to the dragon boat race.
…Only Jin Fuyun felt uneasy, whether sitting or lying down.
