Chapter 41
Chapter 41
Song Guanzhou slept until noon before waking up. It was only when Pei Qiuyu came to his house that Rendong woke her up.
"Madam, the second young lady is here."
There is a small banquet for the fourth daughter of the second house today. Judging from the time, it is almost time to get up.
When Song Guanzhou struggled to get up, half of his thin blanket was exposed. On his fair skin, there were criss-crossing whip marks and small purple flowers.
——Pei An’s words were not light.
Honeysuckle is an experienced person, and having been on guard last night, she knew that the couple had finally reconciled. However, the two had a fierce fight, and Honeysuckle dragged Lotus, who was on guard, back to the servants' room.
Now it seems great.
Song Guanzhou felt sore every time he raised his arm. He had not experienced fighting for a long time and was indeed a little weak. If Pei An knew what she was thinking, he would be stunned. You begged for mercy once in the past, but you still thought it was not enough three times last night!
——Meng is so reckless! Meng is so reckless!
Song Guanzhou also lived a dull life for several years. When she was young and beautiful in this life, she had experienced an intimate love affair. Later, as she got older, she lost interest and simply became fat and indifferent to men.
Now that she is alive again, she has a charming figure and a charming face, and Pei An is also a handsome and romantic guy. They can't be more compatible, right? !
Never mind, I'll just die. I'll enjoy the service of a handsome man for two years. It'll be worth it if I die!
——Heavenly Bodhisattva!
It is true that even if you die under the peony flowers, you will still be romantic even if you become a ghost... Song Guanzhou, you are so shameless!
"Won't you let me rest for a while?"
Song Guanzhou grumbled as she yawned continuously. Rendong helped her up and said, "Madam, the second young lady is waiting in the outer room, waiting for you to attend the banquet together."
ha……!
At Pei Shuyu's banquet, Song Guanzhou felt sore all over and sighed, "Alas, male beauty is misleading."
"Pfft!" Honeysuckle couldn't help laughing, "My ancestor, you can't say that..." But thinking of the couple reconciling, Honeysuckle was also overjoyed, "The young lady is doing very well now, she doesn't lose her temper, and the fourth young master likes her."
How not to love?
When Pei An got up, he hugged Song Guanzhou's slender waist, reluctant to let go, and kissed her again and again.
Song Guanzhou couldn't stop yawning, but she forced herself to stay awake and let Rendong help her dress up. Today's small banquet was Song Guanzhou's first official outing in this feudal society.
After dressing up and leaving the inner room, Pei Qiuyu was drinking tea and waiting when he saw the cotton curtain opened, revealing half of a pretty face.
Song Guanzhou was dressed gorgeously today, completely different from her usual pale, skinny and plain look. She wore a bright red Suzhou embroidery top with a Ruyi cloud pattern, a colorful plum blossom cloud skirt, a double waistband made of jadeite, and a jade pendant sachet hanging from her waist. As for her delicate oval face, with dark eyebrows, phoenix eyes, a high nose and red lips, she was charming in every way.
Honeysuckle was deft and she combed a high bun for Song Guanzhou with lotus flowers, and pinned it with a golden hairpin with a peacock pattern that Pei An had given her. A ruby was pinned in the center of the hairpin, which made her look luxurious and noble.
It was a sunny spring day, and Song Guanzhou was only wearing a gauze gown embroidered with cloud patterns in gold and silver threads.
She is truly beautiful and charming.
Pei Qiuyu seemed so dull standing next to her. When she saw Song Guanzhou, her heart skipped a beat and she felt a little lost.
The dull one in the past was Song Guanzhou. Why did he look so different today?
But he still cheered up and walked over.
Song Guanzhou felt sore all over, so he asked Rendong what time it was. It was almost time for the banquet. "How do we get there?" Rendong thought for a moment. "There's a wall between the two mansions. It depends on whether the young lady will go inside or outside the mansion."
Pei Qiuyu whispered, "Although the house is cheap, it takes a long time to walk around, it's not as straight as the road outside the house."
"Then outside the palace."
Pei Qiuyu brought Qingcao, the maid from yesterday, and a woman waiting outside Shaohua Garden. She was strong and carrying a food box. I think she brought some candies and snacks to liven up the party.
Song Guanzhou brought Rendong, Meng Sao, Lianhua, Qingfang and Qingfei with him, and they brought more things than Pei Qiuyu.
In addition to the large and small food boxes, there were also two packages containing Song Guanzhou's personal belongings and a new set of clothes.
After exiting the corner gate, Liu Er had already prepared two sedan chairs. Song Guanzhou walked lazily under the bright sun, looking so dazzling that ordinary servants and male maids dared not face him directly.
"It's such a long distance, why do you still want to take a sedan?"
Honeysuckle stepped forward and said, "Young Madam, don't get sunburned in this hot sun."
Song Guanzhou inadvertently supported her waist, and the soreness told her not to show off, so she lowered her head, got on the sedan chair, and walked towards the second room.
Calling it the second room is actually a bit inappropriate.
The Duke's Mansion and Pei Chen's side had been separated a long time ago, but Pei Jian and Pei Chen were good brothers, so the two mansions interacted as one, so over time, everyone in the two mansions tacitly accepted that the Duke's Mansion was the eldest branch, and Pei Chen's side was the second branch.
The sedan drove straight in and entered the second room.
He hadn't rested for a while, and it took about an incense stick of time before the sedan stopped. As soon as he landed, Pei Shuyu, who had been waiting for him, came to greet him with her illegitimate sisters, "Fourth sister-in-law, Sister Qiuyu, you are finally here."
Rendong opened the curtain of the sedan chair and helped Song Guanzhou out of it.
As soon as she showed up, she heard a gasp. Pei Shuyu looked normal, and came over to support her, "Fourth sister-in-law, you look really good today."
"You're beautiful too."
Please forgive Song Guanzhou for his lack of eloquence; this is the level she can reach as a modern person.
Pei Qiuyu also got off the sedan chair and came to the side. The other sisters around Pei Shuyu also came up and pulled them, chatting and laughing. Pei Shuyu led a woman in goose yellow clothes over and introduced her, "Fourth sister-in-law, this is my uncle's sister, seven months older than me, this year she is also seventeen, her maiden name is Qingyu."
Mei Qingyu, daughter of Mei Zhizhou of Jiangdong Lake.
"Qingyu greets the fourth sister-in-law, may the fourth sister-in-law live long and happily."
Song Guanzhou returned the greeting, "You're too polite, cousin. It's been a while since I came to Beijing. Are you getting used to it?"
Mei Qingyu came here with her second brother to take the imperial examination in advance and stayed at her aunt's house for a short period of time. She had been there for two or three months, but it was the first time she met Song Guanzhou.
Before meeting her, she had heard about her heroic deeds. Pei Shuyu was very close to her, but she could only shake her head when she talked about it. "It's a pity that my fourth brother, who is so handsome and noble, married such a jealous woman. Earlier, she just made trouble in the mansion, or sent the servants out to scold her. This was enough to make my fourth brother suffer. Who would have thought that during the Lantern Festival, she would go to the Full Moon Tower to make a fool of herself."
Mei Qingyu has pretty features and looks very eye-catching, but she has never liked fame and fortune. She wears simple clothes and looks like a scholar.
Hearing Pei Shuyu's frank talk about the eldest house's secrets, she couldn't help but smile and said, "You are also cousins. If you give us more advice on weekdays, you can't write two Pei characters with one stroke."
It's the Pei family who is losing face.
Pei Shuyu shook her head. "Forget it. The eldest sister-in-law and the prince's sister-in-law are so smart that they can't control it. Why should we from the second house get involved in these idle things?"
But now when Mei Qingyu saw her, she was shocked by her beauty.
With this kind of appearance and beauty, it seems understandable that she is a little arrogant.
