Chapter 183
Xiao Yinhui seemed to be unaware of the contempt in Pei Qiuyu's words, and continued to act innocently, "That's true. It's rare to see a man love his wife as much as my fourth cousin does. But then again, loving couples must be virtuous and tolerant. I'm afraid my fourth cousin will have to arrange wives and concubines for my fourth cousin in the future. But there are few in this world who can compare to my fourth cousin."
"You don't need to worry about these things, my cousin, a girl in the boudoir. Besides, my fourth cousin's wife has always been jealous, so she won't easily go to Shaohua Garden to recruit people."
After Pei Qiuyu finished speaking, he glanced at Xiao Yinhui lightly.
But she didn't know that Mei Qingyu's face was ashen. Fortunately, it was not clear at night, but Pei Shuyu still sensed that her body had froze, and lowered her voice to ask with concern, "Cousin, are you feeling unwell?"
Mei Qingyu quickly calmed down and said, "Not really, it was just that a gust of wind blew into my neck and it felt a little cold."
Xiao Yinhui looked around and said, "Hey, where is the wind blowing? Sister Mei must be dreaming...
"Yinhui!"
"cousin!"
The two sisters Xiao Yinmei and Xiao Yinfu quickly pulled Xiao Yinhui over and apologized to Mei Qingyu, "Cousin Mei, please don't take it to heart. Fifth sister is straightforward and doesn't hold back when she speaks."
Xiao Yinhui was a little dissatisfied and wanted to say something, but was dragged forward by Xiao Yinfu, "Fifth sister, let's go play on the swings."
Pei Shuyu supported Mei Qingyu, a little worried, "Did you catch a cold yesterday and it's back now?" Mei Qingyu shook her head slightly, "I do have a headache, but it's nothing serious. I won't go on the swing for a while, I'll just watch the sisters play."
She felt an inexplicable discomfort in her heart, which she couldn't explain to herself, let alone tell others.
In this situation, she wanted to hide her face and leave, but she thought that she was just a guest and naturally could not lose her manners. So she forced herself to walk with Pei Shuyu.
Pei An brought Uncle Quan in. Xiao Bei saw them from afar and came out to greet them, lifting the bamboo curtain. "Cousin, it's time to come in and have a drink."
"It's fine to drink, but Uncle Quan is coming to Xunxi, so I brought him here and visited Fourth Brother."
Being so infatuated and loving with Song Guanzhou, she couldn't not accompany him for dinner, but Song Guanzhou's hair was long, thick, fluffy and black, and several maids used towels to wipe it for a long time, but it didn't dry.
As soon as he had some free time, he went to Biluozhai.
It was dusk at this time, and after a bath and wash up, Pei An looked even more handsome with bright eyes and thin brows.
As soon as Qin Qingdong saw him, a teasing look appeared on his face.
"Don't pull him, Bei'er. Guan Zhou is having a meal alone, so he will go back to keep company."
It turned out to be the case.
Xiao Bei smiled and said, "Just eat a few bites less. It's impossible for Erlang and I to eat happily while you are watching us." Without further ado, he sat on the table. The maid quickly brought the bowls and chopsticks, as well as a pot of Jiangzhou wine.
It was hard to refuse such a kind invitation, so Pei An respectfully obeyed.
He pointed at Qin Qingdong again, "Uncle Quan is looking for you."
Uncle Quan from the Qin Mansion hurried forward and bowed to Qin Qingdong, "Second Young Master, the old lady asked you to go back tomorrow. Now that the Emperor's Christmas is just around the corner, the mansion is busy and short-handed. The eldest young master has been assigned another errand and went to Bingzhou yesterday, so you have to go back and take care of these."
Qin Qingdong frowned slightly, saying, "These things are handled by the old lady and the eldest sister-in-law. There are people working in the mansion, so I am the only one who can do it. Besides, His Majesty's birthday is still seven or eight days away, so there is no need to rush."
Ouch!
Only when you don’t manage the household do you know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are.
Uncle Quan looked at the dissolute young ancestor in the mansion and had to persuade him patiently, "It's important for the old lady and the eldest young lady to write eulogies and congratulatory messages. Those are things that cannot be replaced by others."
"...Brother, you didn't prepare anything before you went to Bingzhou?"
Uncle Quan thought to himself, "Grandfather, you can't just eat and not work." "The eldest son is always in a hurry to do his work, and he is also busy with official duties on weekdays, so he has no time to spare."
Qin Qingdong was very impatient, but he also knew that it was the old lady's order and he could not disobey it.
I could only wave my hand and say, "I know, I know. I'm afraid my mother will take me back again and give me a good scolding. How about I go back tomorrow?"
Uncle Quan smiled and said, "That's great. I'll send some people to pick you up tomorrow."
The purpose of picking someone up was fake. In fact, he was helping Chun Ge'er move a bunch of Qin Qingdong's things. He stayed for quite a while this time, and even moved a desk over...
Qin Qingdong refused outright, "I'll just go back and pay my respects to my mother. There's no need to make a big fuss. I have to come back to Silang in a few days."
Uncle Quan was so stunned that he was speechless.
While he was in a daze, he was directly dismissed by Qin Qingdong. Chun Ge was outside and saw Uncle Quan with a sad face, "Uncle Quan, don't move the Second Young Master's things anymore. He is getting closer and closer to the Fourth Young Master's wife, and I'm afraid he will live in the mansion for a long time."
Uncle Quan shook his head and sighed, "How can I do that? The old lady misses me so much that I'm afraid she won't allow me to do that."
"No?"
Chun Ge's face wrinkled into folds, "Forget it, you see when the old lady stopped allowing it. This time, the second young master and the wife of the fourth young master of the Pei family stopped quarreling after a few days." If they quarreled, they would have to stay for ten days or half a month, and if they didn't quarrel, it would be even more so. "Besides, the Xiao family members are here, and several young masters are also here, so the second young master feels it's more lively."
in this way!
Uncle Quan had no choice but to ride back in a hurry and report everything to the old lady, and also told her what Chun Ge'er had said.
Old Madam Qin's face was full of doting, yet helpless. "He is so carefree and dissolute, annoying people day by day. But please don't lose your manners in front of the Xiao family."
Uncle Quan opened his mouth to speak, but couldn't.
Seeing this, the wife of the eldest young master of the Qin family urged, "But has Erlang caused trouble again?"
When the old lady heard this, she became anxious and worried. Uncle Quan quickly bowed and replied, "It's okay, but he almost got beaten by the fifth son of the Xiao family a few days ago."
Hitting people again?
The Qin family has always been strict, loyal and filial, but because of Qin Qingdong's day-to-day unruly and unruly behavior, some rumors of arrogance and domineering have spread.
Uncle Quan also heard about it from Chun Ge, "The fifth son of the Xiao family and the fourth Madam Pei had some dirty talk, and Erlang felt sorry for the fourth young master's wife because she didn't have a family, so he stepped forward to support her. I heard that the Duke and the two old members of the Xiao family were not angry, but just said that young people have a bad temper, and it's good to get to know each other slowly."
Seeing that it was getting late, after sending Uncle Quan away, the wife of the eldest young master of the Qin family came to the old lady and whispered, "Yesterday, the eldest grandson of the Zhang family celebrated his full moon, and my daughter-in-law went over to have a drink. I heard that the reckless fifth son of the Xiao family accidentally threw a heavy object from upstairs and almost hit Princess Fuman. That day, the master brought all the people of the Xiao family to personally apologize to Princess Fuman."
When Mrs. Qin heard this, she was shocked and said, "He is such a bastard!"
The eldest young lady's wife laughed and said, "That bastard from the Xiao family was born blind, and since the old master came in person, Princess Fuman didn't blame him too much. Speaking of which, our Erlang is also a man who knows the truth and values righteousness. It was probably that scoundrel who bullied Pei Silang's family, and Erlang just stood up for them. He is quite courageous."
