The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

The day after the mathematics competition, many valuable gifts were brought in from Shaohua Garden. Liu Xian returned to the palace and told his father, the emperor, and his mother, the empress, about them. Both of them, the most noble couple in the world, became interested.

"I'm afraid you're praising me so much because I'm your savior."

Liu Xian stood in front of the emperor and said confidently, "Father, you misunderstood me. No matter how stupid I am, I would never say that about Fourth Aunt. I could have praised her for her unparalleled virtue, words, appearance and talent, or said that she is as good as a master in playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. After all, women in the boudoir and daughters of wealthy families know a little. It's not wrong to say anything nonsense, but we have different studies, Father!"

"How different?"

Liu Xian explained the test questions, changing his calmness like a little adult, and like a real child, he held the emperor's hand and said excitedly, "Those talented scholars in Longen Academy were not optimistic about Fourth Aunt at first, but when Prince Pei came to place bets, they all bet on Xiao Wulang. I am very sure that even if Fourth Aunt made one more mistake, in the end - Fourth Aunt really won."

His face was full of admiration, causing the Queen to smile gently, "So, this lady from Pei Qing's family is very knowledgeable, and is quite more unbearable than ordinary scholars."

The emperor shook his head and laughed, looking at his youngest son.

Fortunately, there is no stupid royal heir. Liu Xian sighed, "My Queen Mother doesn't know that Fourth Aunt is good in everything except her handwriting..."

"How?"

Liu Xian came close to the Empress, leaning on her arms, and spoke in a tone of regret that made the Emperor laugh. He only heard Liu Xian sighing repeatedly, "Fourth Aunt's handwriting is very! Very! Very irregular, with many wrong and ugly characters, it's really unbearable to look at..."

ha?

So, when Shao Huayuan opened the reward from the palace, Ren Dong could no longer hold back her smile at the neat calligraphy. She came before Song Guanzhou and Xu Lingqiao, knelt down, smiled slightly, and respectfully presented the calligraphy.

"What?"

Song Guanzhou didn't know the seriousness of the situation yet. Ren Dong held back her laughter and said, "The Tenth Master sent someone to deliver it to you. He said he would give it to you as soon as possible."

Liu Xian?

She took it and opened the rectangular ink-colored lacquer box without any suspicion. What she saw was a pile of calligraphy. "This——"

Hua Chonglou came closer and chuckled.

“Calligraphy copybook.”

Song Guanzhou frowned, "I know it's a calligraphy copybook, but Brother Xian gave this to me—" She couldn't bear to look at it, feeling a little frustrated, and looked at Xu Lingqiao who was embroidering with an embroidery frame next to her and said, "Sister, is my handwriting really that ugly?"

Xu Lingqiao hesitated to speak, wanting to comfort her but not knowing the words.

Song Guanzhou stretched out his hand to stop her, "Stop it, stop it. I'm embarrassing you." She flipped through the calligraphy, "Is this Xian Ge'er's own?"

Honeysuckle nodded.

"Shiguang was sent to a place this morning, and Tete told me about this."

Song Guanzhou gritted his teeth, "——I thank him!"

Looking at Hua Chonglou and the others who were all looking down to suppress their laughter, he was speechless, "That's not necessary. There are so many illiterate noble ladies in the boudoir, why are they so strict with me?"

She put down the copybook, held her chin with both hands, and looked a little sad.

Xu Lingqiao raised her eyes and said with a smile, "You are not an ordinary girl in the boudoir. It doesn't matter if you can't even write your own name in your whole life. But Guanzhou, you are different. You are smart and understand so many things that men may not understand. It would be a pity if you can't write well."

Hua Chonglou and Sun Lin looked at Xu Lingqiao and were amazed. "You sisters not only look alike, but you, my cousin, really hit the nail on the head."

Sun Lin nodded, put down her needlework and told Song Guanzhou the truth, "Madam, you don't know that yesterday when you were on the field, the fourth young master personally held your pen and competed with the young master of the Xiao family's accountant. I was very happy to see that. Since ancient times, there have been many capable women, but I'm afraid you are the only one who can really compete with a man for real money."

These words made Song Guanzhou, the modern king of slacking off, blush.

"I don't deserve such praise from Lin'er. In fact, in my opinion, at least in my eyes, all the women I know have their own abilities."

Xu Lingqiao and the others quickly shook their heads when they heard this.

"I am stupid..."

"You can't say that."

Song Guanzhou slapped the table with his delicate hands and said seriously, "Chonglou traveled far and wide, and he had his own courage in the world; Lin'er insisted on seeing patients and consulting doctors, and did not care about being despised. Even in the red-light district and delivering babies, she never lost her determination to save lives. As for my cousin——"

Her eyes were full of admiration. "He remained calm in the face of danger, was separated from his family, and survived from a desperate situation. Aren't all these things worthy of admiration?"

Honeysuckle brought in some hot tea and poured it for the ladies one by one. After hearing this, she nodded and said, "All the ladies and my young mistress are smart and wise."

Xu Lingqiao held onto Ren Dong and said in a tender voice, "Sister Dong is also very powerful. Shao Hua Garden in Guanzhou cannot survive without you for even a day."

"Our sister Honeysuckle has her own abilities as a human being."

Song Guanzhou praised her sincerely. Although she was Xiao Yinxiu's close friend, she was now of one mind with him. Her ability to be lazy and happy was largely due to Pei An's tolerance and Rendong's ability.

Dealing with the festive exchanges inside and outside Shaohua Garden, disciplining the servants, arranging the kitchen, etc., if it weren't for Rendong taking on all of this, she would probably still be trapped in the interpersonal relationships and basic house fights in the mansion.

fortunately……

She pulled Ren Dong and boasted to him. Ren Dong stroked her scarred face and knelt down to reply, "Madam, what you said really terrifies me. Which lady in the world can be like you and forgive my past? It is my blessing to have a master like you in my lifetime."

Song Guanzhou pulled her up and said, "Let's not talk about this. Let's help each other."

Ren Dong murmured, "Young Madam, how could I deserve such a word from you?" She was still choking with sobs when she finished speaking. Song Guanzhou quickly took out a towel and wiped it on Ren Dong's scarred face. "Don't cry, just live in the present, silly girl."

I don't know who he was talking to, but the girls were startled when they heard it.

Honeysuckle smiled shyly, "It's my fault. I'll serve some iced sour plum soup, lotus cakes, and jasmine sugar cakes to the young lady and the girls. Please don't bear my fault in mind."

She spoke cleverly, causing everyone to laugh.

Mrs. Min's voice came from outside, "Sisters, you are talking happily. Where is Guanzhou?" Rendong went out to greet them. Xu Lingqiao and the other two stood up. When Mrs. Min supported the girl and her wife's hands and walked around the screen, they all greeted Mrs. Min.

"Don't be so polite, be a good girl. Madam, I will leave for Jiangzhou tomorrow, and I came to see you now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Guanzhou was stunned for a moment, "Aunt is going back?"

When Mrs. Min saw that Song Guanzhou looked a little dazed, her heart softened, "Aunt, it's time to go back."
