Chapter 87
As a result, Shaohuayuan is very lively.
On weekdays, Pei An was on duty, Sun Lin worked in the yard with her cousin and Qin Erlang. Song Guanzhou was worried about his father's books, but there were too many wounds, and they were infected by dust and mildew. There were no antibiotics in this world. If he died from the inflammation of a small wound after going through so many storms, it would be a waste.
The reason why life is precious is that it remains the same despite all the ups and downs.
Song Guanzhou would sleep when he was sleepy, and when he woke up he would go out to the courtyard to chat with Sun Lin and Hua Chonglou.
She was really bored, so she asked Qin Qingdong to learn how to play Go. However, it takes a long time to become a master at Go. She was defeated repeatedly. Sometimes, she was not careful and Qin Qingdong would attack her everywhere, eating up a large area of characters in an instant. She was so distressed that she cried.
Qin Qingdong was so frightened that he stood up and bowed quickly, "Why are you crying?"
Song Guanzhou asked him to sit down and wiped his tears, "You were obviously beating me up over there, why did you stab me in the back? How can I not feel heartbroken?" He kept doing this, and he became more and more courageous. Even Qin Qingdong couldn't stand it and let him go a time or two, but he didn't expect to be criticized by Song Guanzhou in a righteous manner!
"I cried because I felt bad that my son was eaten, not because I couldn't stand the loss. You made concessions without thinking, which was really an insult to me."
Gotta get it!
Qin Qingdong was so scared that he dared not give in anymore. But Hua Chonglou and Sun Lin were not good at this and played even more cruelly than Song Guanzhou. It was Pei Yulin who came to school and won half of the territory for Song Guanzhou. Song Guanzhou was so happy that he hugged a boy of seven or eight years old and kissed him, making the child blush and cry out that he couldn't do it.
"How to prevent it?"
"Ling'er has grown up, men and women should not touch each other..."
Song Guanzhou burst into laughter. Such unbridled laughter was hardly tolerated in this boudoir. Xiao Yinxiu stood outside Shaohua Garden, looking at Mrs. Mei, Pei Shuyu and Mei Qingyu beside her with some embarrassment.
"My sister-in-law is naive, please don't take it to heart, Second Aunt."
Mrs. Mei smiled and said, "It's okay. I can tell from the sound that he's getting much better. He must have survived a great disaster and will have good fortune in the future." Nanny Tao went forward to report, and Song Guanzhou quickly asked Rendong to go and greet him.
When Xiao Yinxiu came in with the wives and girls from the second room, everyone realized that Shaohua Garden, which they had not stepped into for a long time, was already different from what they remembered.
Song Guanzhou stood up to greet him, and Mrs. Mei took a few quick steps forward.
"Sit down quickly, my son, or you will get hurt."
"It's out of the way."
Song Guanzhou tried his best to perform the greeting. Xiao Yinxiu and Mrs. Mei returned the greeting. Rendong asked someone to bring out chairs. Song Guanzhou said, "The weather is still quite cool. It will be quite pleasant under the grape trellis. Aunts, sisters-in-law and younger sister, please follow my instructions."
Mrs. Mei carefully held her hand, her eyes moistened, "It's up to you, whatever you want. Amitabha, it's really the Bodhisattva's blessing that you have a great life and great fortune."
The sisters Qin Qingdong and Sun Lin on the side did not avoid it either. After greeting Xiao Yinxiu and others, everyone just sat around.
Xiao Yinxiu also rubbed her handkerchief and pinched the corners of her eyes, "Yes, if it weren't for my fourth brother's wife, I would have found two sons by now, how could I still be alive..."
Seeing that everyone was about to sing praises again, Song Guanzhou raised his hand to stop them.
"My aunts and sisters-in-law, when they come to visit me, just bring some delicious food and fun things, but as for the thanking and complimenting, please don't say it because we are a family."
What Xiao Yinxiu said was really embarrassing and Song Guanzhou felt painful to hear.
She went to save the children, regardless of their identities or family backgrounds. At that critical moment, she would save as many as she could.
But it doesn't mean that Xiao Yinxiu and her niece took her into Jianshui Room, beat her half to death and threw her out, and then just let the matter go. Song Guanzhou is not such a saint at all.
She lived in the Duke's Mansion until she was twenty-one years old, and if everything went well, she would find another way to make a living.
However, she did not have the opportunity to express her dissatisfaction with Pei Jian and his son's repressive handling of the Jianshuifang incident from beginning to end, but it did not mean that she agreed with this way of handling.
Slow things down.
She doesn't bother to bring up old scores with others, and just lives a peaceful life.
that's it.
Xiao Yinxiu also knew this, so all she could do was to send more high-quality food and medicine to Shaohuayuan. She couldn't do anything else. If Second Aunt Mei hadn't come to visit her today, she wouldn't have been willing to go to Shaohuayuan.
If Song Guanzhou had died, that would be another story.
Therefore, Song Guanzhou was still one step away from being called a heroine, and that was death.
——Damn it, I won’t die!
Everyone was chatting and laughing. As Song Guanzhou was still recovering from his injuries and there was a stranger, Qin Qingdong, in the yard, Mrs. Mei and the others checked with him to see if he was okay and then left.
After leaving the courtyard, Mrs. Mei, who was always gentle and kind, couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "What did this fourth child do? He kept a foreign man in the inner courtyard for no reason."
Even the Crown Princess’s own brother is not acceptable.
There are also two female doctors in their prime years——
Xiao Yinxiu held Aunt Mei and sighed, "To be honest, Second Aunt, my mother doesn't care about things in the mansion. I'm young and can't say anything. The fourth child has agreed, and my father doesn't care. I... can only let them do whatever they want."
Mrs. Mei sighed, "I'm sorry to trouble you."
Although she was the Crown Prince's wife, she could never have expected that the Fourth Prince was so capable and would pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi, bringing Song Guanzhou with him.
Xiao Yinxiu could act like a prince's wife anywhere, including in the second room, but not with the fourth brother. They should respect each other and be peaceful.
It was not until they left the Duke's Mansion and entered the second room that Mrs. Mei frowned and looked at her daughter and niece, "When I'm not around, you two sisters are not allowed to go to the fourth brother's place. I think the fourth brother is also confused. Why put so many people in one room?"
The scarred girl and the young maidservant, forget about them.
The female doctor outside and the Crown Princess's brother got involved with each other and if something went wrong, it would be embarrassing.
Pei Shuyu curled her lips and said, "Don't worry, mother. We have never been close to the fourth sister-in-law. Last time, we only invited the second sister-in-law to the banquet. Who would have thought that the second sister-in-law was not available, so I temporarily gave some money to the fourth sister-in-law."
That's so.
"Don't have much contact with her. She is unruly and unruly. She might lead you astray."
After hearing this, the two of them bowed and agreed.
But the rewards and gifts of thanks that were continuously sent to the Duke's Mansion could not be changed. The children of the Li and Huang families did not go in, but the two families were impressed by Song Guanzhou's ability and sent him expensive gifts. Qin Qingdong sat in the yard and started to open them. People around him were amazed. "Huang Zhi, this guy, he was so stingy that he didn't want to give me any gifts when I celebrated my birthday in the past. He just sent me away with a few paintings and calligraphy. But now he has spent a lot of money."
Huang Zhi?
Song Guanzhou narrowed his eyes and flipped through the original work in his memory. Wow! In the future, there will be another outstanding figure second only to the good minister Pei An.
He was not as outstanding as Pei An in birth, and was not from a noble family. His father was from a humble family, but he worked diligently to become a fourth-rank official. He was born in a different family, but he did not expect that in the same year as Pei An, Pei An would be the youngest Jinshi in the history of Dalong, while he failed.
However, this year he will shine.
He won the title of the youngest third place in the imperial examination in the history of Dalong.
Qin Qingdong snorted, "You don't know that Huang Sanlang is the most stingy——"
