The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

In spring, the wind is strong and the sun is scorching.

In the end, Ren Dong asked He Hua and Lian Hua, who were also crying, to help Song Guan Zhou to the inner room. She also asked them to fetch some hot water so that she and Song Guan Zhou could wash their faces and hands. Seeing Song Guan Zhou crying, Ren Dong also choked up and said, "How can the young lady be so sad? We servants are also feeling sad."

Song Guanzhou applied a hot towel to his eyes and choked up several times. "I just felt uncomfortable and couldn't stop crying."

Honeysuckle wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "Young Madam, please don't cry."

Several little girls brought in water and tea, and looked at Song Guanzhou bravely. Sadness is contagious, and the tears that had just been wiped away fell again because of Song Guanzhou's crying.

Zhuanggu was outside, wiping her tears with her sleeves.

Mrs. Meng pinched her and said, "Why are you crying? Life is finally better now, and you even made the young lady cry with you."

Zhuanggu shook her head.

"I didn't cry first, but I couldn't stop crying when I saw how precious and pampered the young mistress was. When I thought about how I had been treated like a slave and my lost son, I couldn't hold back my tears."

When Mrs. Meng heard this, her heart tightened.

"Why are you crying? Everyone has a problem." She sounded strong but tears were falling. Women's lives are worthless. They have gone through many twists and turns to get here. Only those who have experienced it know all the sufferings.

Zhuanggu rubbed her eyes until they turned red.

"I know the young lady is feeling miserable..."

Just as the words came to this point, Ren Dong came out with red eyes and stopped Zhuang Gu from speaking, "Don't say these things, wipe your tears quickly, there are no maids and old women scheming in our courtyard, and there is no harsh criticism and treatment from the master, and it is just that the young lady is unhappy for a while, and we can't cry about the past, don't add some bad luck to the good spring day."

Zhuang Gu and Meng Sao quickly wiped their tears and said, "Let's go make some sweet paste."

After finally pacifying the maid, Rendong couldn't help herself. She hid in her room and sobbed quietly. She touched the scar on her face and forced herself to swallow back her tears.

It took her a while to clean up, and others couldn't tell that she was crying.

When he returned to the inner room, Song Guanzhou stopped crying and felt much more relaxed and refreshed from body to mind.

She spoke with a heavy nasal voice and a pair of red and swollen eyes. She beckoned Honeysuckle to come over and said, "Don't worry. It's better for me to cry than to hold it in. I'm afraid the little girls are also scared by me."

Honeysuckle bowed, not daring to look at that beautiful and sad face, "Young Madam, I was careless and didn't realize the grievance you felt."

"Not really, never mind, I feel much better after crying."

Rendong stood up and looked at Song Guanzhou. Although her face was full of pitiful tears, her eyes were much brighter. "That's right. It's better for Madam to vent the depression in her heart than to keep it in her heart." There were some things she bit her tongue and didn't say more.

Because he was tired from crying, Song Guanzhou felt sleepy again, as he had missed the previous night.

She simply rolled up the quilt and fell asleep.

In the courtyard outside, Rendong called everyone over and said, "It's okay. The master is also unhappy. You should go and do your work. What happened in this courtyard must not be told to anyone else." After giving instructions, he took Zhuanggu and Mengsao and went to the warehouse in person.

Pei Hai had been waiting there with a few young and strong guards. When he saw Ren Dong coming, he asked the guards to open the warehouse and pointed to the boxes in one of the rooms and said, "They are all here."

Honeysuckle walked forward and touched the ground, only to find it was covered in thick dust.

"They have been placed here for more than two years. Except for the first ten boxes of items that have been taken out, the thirty-odd boxes at the back still have wedding seals attached to them. It would be better to move them directly to Shaohua Garden, where the space is spacious and it will be easier to do an inventory." Pei Hai asked the servant to invite the people around the Crown Prince's wife. Not long after, Aunt Chu came over with two big maids.

"The Fourth Young Master's wife has a lot of books in her dowry. Shaohua Garden is spacious and cheap. Madam Chu, why don't you arrange two maids to help with the inventory of books here?"

After all, it was brought into the public warehouse, and if anyone wanted to take anything, both sides had to register together.

Aunt Chu had received Xiao Yinxiu's instructions and nodded in approval, "Uncle Hai, Rendong, these are Juxiang and Juhuang, the two maids serving the Crown Prince's wife. They can read a little. Let these two maids be placed in front of Rendong to take care of the inventory and make the list."

Juxiang Juhuang walked up to Honeysuckle, bowed, and called her "Sister Honeysuckle".

Honeysuckle turned sideways and returned the greeting, "Thank you, two sisters."

Everything was arranged properly. Pei Hai assigned guards, two people to each box, and they made several trips back and forth before moving more than 30 boxes of books to Shaohua Garden. The two back rooms that had been empty were now filled to the brim.

"The carpenter who makes the furniture will come tomorrow. There are so many women in the house that I am afraid they will offend the young lady. I will ask Liu Er from outside to come in and keep an eye on them."

Honeysuckle bowed and thanked her.

Pei Hai asked two more questions, "Young Madam, do you want to build a small study room in Shaohua Garden?"

"I just picked up a side room and put some bookcases in it. The books that the young lady's family brought as a dowry can't be kept in a box without seeing the sun, so I simply set aside a room to store these books."

Pei Hai pondered for a moment, "There are no useful desks and chairs in the storeroom right now, why not ask a carpenter to make a set and put it in the house."

Ren Dong thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid it can't be too big. The west wing is not big, and there are so many books. I'm afraid I can only put a small one."

As the two discussed, Liu Er, who was called over and had been standing aside, could not help but ask, "Housekeeper, I think you should ask the Fourth Young Master. It was me who bought Shaohua Garden two years ago. The things that the Fourth Young Master originally had in that courtyard are pretty much the same. It would be fine if you just put them there."

Now it seems that this young lady really wants to kick the fourth young master out.

Pei Hai slapped his head when he heard this.

"Rosewood, the wing room you are talking about is probably the fourth young master's study." Yanlai Hall was where the third and fourth young masters studied. After the third young master went out, Yanlai Hall became empty. It was not until the summer solstice last year when the fourth young master and his wife had a falling out that Pei An moved out in a fit of anger.

Now, all the servants in Shaohua Garden have just arrived two months ago. Song Guanzhou never mentioned it, and Rendong didn't think about it either.

After hearing what Liu Er said, Ren Dong also stuttered, "I don't know..., what should I do?"

Pei Hai brought Liu Er and followed Ren Dong to Shao Hua Garden. The courtyard was full of flowers and birds, and it was quiet and peaceful. The little girl had built a small flower bed under the grape trellis. When she saw Ren Dong coming in with others, she trotted over and saluted, "Sister Dong, the young lady is still sleeping."

"Don't make a fuss. Just go and do your work. I'll show Uncle Hai the layout of the courtyard."

After reading it, Pei Hai sighed, "Let's not put the desk and chairs away for now. Let's put the books on them first."

Seeing that there was no one around, Ren Dong simply said, "The Fourth Young Master will definitely move back to Shaohua Garden sooner or later. There are only so many houses in this courtyard anyway. I think it's better not to buy a big thing, so as to avoid being unable to move and wasting money."

Pei Hai nodded.

I asked casually, "Have the Fourth Young Master and the Young Madam stopped quarreling these days?"

Thinking of Song Guanzhou's mood changes last night and today, Ren Dong smiled and said, "It's normal for young couples to quarrel."

After a few people finished looking around, they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, only to see Pei An, who was exhausted and had just returned from duty. Pei Hai went over to greet him. Pei An smiled and said, "Why are you in Shaohua Garden? What do you want to buy here?" Pei Hai would not be called for trivial matters.

What is rare is that Liu Er is also behind Pei Hai.

Pei Hai happened to ask about the study room, and Pei An looked inside and outside. "My Lord Taishan loves books like his life. Guan Zhou ignored him in the past, but now that he is interested, I will follow Guan Zhou's wishes."

Speaking of newly built desks and chairs, Pei An pondered for a moment and said, "Bring them here. Guan Zhou will have a place to practice calligraphy and read books. I usually use Yanlaitang, and I'll make some more if they're not enough later." The good thing is that there are only a few masters in the Duke's Mansion. Apart from Pei Che's deserted courtyard, there are also several empty places nearby.

The eldest sister has married and the second sister and the youngest sister are left alone, but it is not that there is no place for them to live.

It's much better than my second uncle's.

Pei Hai agreed.

Pei An added, "Use some high-quality wood. I'll pay for it, so there's no need to spend money from the government."

Without waiting for Pei Hai to answer, Pei An called A Lu over and told him to find some patterns for desks and chairs. "Give them to Uncle Hai tomorrow. Women's furniture is better when it is delicate and small. Make some small ornaments on the desks as well."

Pei Hai secretly complained in his heart, is this fourth young master going to go back to live a good life?

Before he could think more, Pei An asked other questions. After Pei Hai reported them one by one, he mentioned that the cabinet should be placed in the small miscellaneous yard in the outer courtyard, and Liu Er would keep an eye on it on weekdays.

Pei An remembered Liu Er, and it was he who tipped off Song Guanzhou and saved him.

"Excellent. Second Steward, please pay more attention. I'm usually not around. If you're unsure, ask Jin Dong or the Young Madam. She always has her own ideas."

Liu Er bowed humbly and agreed.

Everyone dispersed, and Pei An walked to the main room. Ren Dong followed him and told him about what happened to Song Guanzhou today. "Last night, there was a rat incident, and the young lady didn't sleep well. She took a nap this morning. At noon, the wife of the prince brought Huan Ge'er to visit the young lady, and she also talked about the matter of making Chunshan at the Peach Blossom Banquet. Later, the young lady rested for a while, and I'm afraid she hasn't gotten up yet."

Pei An looked at the setting sun and smiled helplessly, "She seems to be enjoying herself..."
