Pei An and Pei Che went to the backyard of Song Daxueshi several times.

When I went there at that time, I felt it was strange. In the otherwise nice pond, there were neither lotus leaves nor koi carps playing around. Instead, there were a few fat black fish swimming around under the small bridge.

When asked Song Xinglu, he just smiled faintly.

The Grand Secretary and his wife were elegant and calm, so how could they tolerate such an abrupt little pond?

Now, after hearing what Song Guanzhou said, he smiled and shook his head, "My eldest uncle was so ignorant that he made me mistakenly believe that you were just a young lady."

Just more arrogant than others.

"My mother was not happy at first, saying that it was unworthy of a girl to do such a thing. But my father disagreed. He thought that if I fell into the water one day, I couldn't wait for others to rescue me."

When Song Guanzhou mentioned his original parents and adoptive brother, he felt inexplicably sad.

Not to mention that the Song couple were rare for their open-mindedness in this feudal dynasty, even in modern society, they would be a good pair of parents.

How-

All gone.

Including adoptive brother Song Xinglu.

After a while, the gate of Shaohuayuan rang. Aru went out from the outer room, opened the door and saw that it was Linhe.

"This is what the master asked me to deliver to the Fourth Young Master and his wife. Aunt Fang has woken up now and is fine. As for the gold beads, the aftermath will be handled by the Crown Prince's wife herself tomorrow."

Linhe had a dark face but a soft heart. Aru scratched his head and uttered after a long time, "Please accept my condolences." It was said that Linhe had wanted Jinzhu for a long time, but Linhe's parents looked down on Jinzhu's maid background and always wanted Linhe to marry a good girl.

This matter was delayed again and again, and I never expected that Jinzhu would be gone.

"No problem."

Lin He suppressed his grief and handed over the things in his hand, "I have to go back quickly. If the Fourth Master and the Young Madam are still awake, please report it. The Master knows that the Young Madam is worried about him."

After saying that, he left in a hurry and quickly disappeared into the night.

Alu carried the food box and went to the outer room to report to the Fourth Young Master.

Rendong lifted the cotton curtain, took the things, listened to Linhe's reply, turned around and went into the inner room. On the kang bed, Song Guanzhou had his hair loose, and he didn't care that it was wet. When he saw Rendong come in, he twitched his nose.

"medicine?"

"The master sent Linhe to deliver it."

Jin Dong opened the food box, and from the soup pot with a lid and a white flower pattern on a blue background, the smell of medicine wafted out faintly. When he opened the lid, Song Guanzhou was driven back by the strong smell of Chinese medicine.

"Let Shiro eat."

Pei An laughed, "You fell into the water, these must be made from the best mountain ginseng, just drink it."

The decoction must be a top-quality tonic. Accidents can happen anywhere in this house except in my father's room.

What’s more, it was delivered by Linhe himself.

Song Guanzhou stepped back decisively, "I'm fine, no need to drink."

After coming out of the Jianshui room, she could no longer swallow the Chinese medicine she had been drinking for three to five days. Sun Lin was worried that she would not recover properly, so she made a lot of Chinese medicine pills for her and sent them in.

Now, Song Guanzhou, who frowned when he smelled the medicine, could not avoid it.

Pei An saw her dodging behavior and smiled dotingly, "Drink it in one gulp."

Then I heard Ren Dong say, "There's news from Linhe that Aunt Fang is fine, but it's a pity for Jinzhu. I sent a message here specifically to tell the Fourth Master and the Young Madam not to worry."

After all this trouble, it was already five o'clock in the morning.

Pei An cleaned up and it was time to go on duty. Song Guanzhou's long hair was about 80% dry, so he simply leaned on the kang bed and said, "I'll take a nap." His laziness was obvious.

But how can we live in peace when such a big thing just happened in the night?

Before lunch, Xiao Yinxiu hurried to Shaohua Garden with her maids and servants. Song Guanzhou came out from the inner room yawning and greeted her.

"I know you worked hard last night, but you have to help your sister-in-law with tomorrow's affairs."

Song Guanzhou suddenly woke up from his doze and asked in a daze, "What's the matter?"

Who in this house doesn't despise her for being stupid?

Xiao Yinxiu held her hand, very intimately, "My second aunt's cousins ​​came to stay for a while. My uncle's family used to work with my uncle, and now they are at your house. They came to visit my mother, but they were in a hurry and didn't have time to stay for dinner, let alone go to your house to see them. My fourth sister organized a small banquet the other day, and I agreed to go to the banquet, but I didn't know that there were so many things going on inside and outside the house these two days. To be honest, I can't leave. Why don't you go for your sister-in-law?"

Song Guanzhou, a slick worker in the workplace, instantly turned his head and laughed, "My sister-in-law ordered me to do it, no matter how hard it takes. But I wasn't invited to the fourth sister's banquet, so I'd be laughed at if I showed up so shamelessly."

The fourth sister, Pei Shuyu.

——The only legitimate daughter of the second wife.

The girl who grew up like the eldest princess.

Xiao Yinxiu pretended to pinch Song Guanzhou's unpainted face, "Fourth sister is very thorough, why didn't you invite me? I wanted to come and tell you yesterday, but I didn't know that something happened to my father."

Aunt Chu at the side took the invitation and handed it over with both hands. Song Guanzhou glanced at the delicate small calligraphy with flowers on the peach blossom rice paper and closed the letter.

"tomorrow?"

Xiao Yinxiu smiled and nodded, "Fourth brother's wife can't go out for a few days, why not go for a walk to relax."

"it is good."

The mansion is not afraid that she will embarrass herself if she goes out, so why should she be afraid?

"I'll let Qiuyu go with me tomorrow."

After Song Guanzhou sent Xiao Yinxiu away and calmed down, she felt that many of her emotions should change in this era. For example, she believed that the Duke's Mansion should feel guilty for the death of a maid and the loss of a life.

Actually it is not.

The maid who died last night is not worth mentioning. The social interactions among dignitaries continue as before.

Ren Dong reopened the letter, took it in her hand, examined it carefully, and sniffed it for a while, "Young Madam, the ink on this piece of paper must have been written not long ago."

Song Guanzhou sneered, "I guess he thinks I am still of some use now."

After saying that, he threw it aside and ignored it.

After dinner in the evening, Song Guanzhou was taking a walk in the courtyard to digest his food. The little maids gathered together, playing shuttlecock, but they were all very sensible and did not make any noise.

When everyone was in harmony, a timid voice was heard at the door.

"Fourth sister-in-law——"

Song Guanzhou looked in the direction of the voice and saw two little girls standing under the eaves of the courtyard porch. One of them was dressed in gorgeous clothes and looked to be about fourteen or fifteen years old. She looked at him and bowed.

"Qiu Yu has met the fourth sister-in-law."

Song Guanzhou waved his hand and called her and the little girl next to him, who was about the same age, to come over. "Qiuyu, I haven't seen you for a while, but you have grown a lot."

Pei Qiuyu smiled softly, "Thank you for the compliment, Sister-in-law."

Ren Dong asked the maids to set up the table and chairs, and served hot tea. The two sisters-in-law sat under the flower stand and chatted. Speaking of Pei Qiuyu, she was also a capable person. In the original novel, it was said that she got the help of Jin Fuyun and married into the illegitimate son's room of Prince Jing. Although he was a illegitimate son, the prince of Jing County fell ill and died. Later, this illegitimate son was in charge of the family.

Pei Qiuyu became the second daughter of the Pei family to marry into the royal family.

Although not as luxurious as her elder sister Pei Qiuyun, it is also a rare marriage of high status. The original novel says that she is well-behaved and sensible, but she also knows how to seize opportunities.

"Second sister-in-law said that I will be attending the banquet with Fourth sister-in-law tomorrow, so I came here to ask Fourth sister-in-law what Qiuyu should prepare."

Song Guanzhou smiled faintly, "It's only a mile away, just go and sit for a while."

——The little girl is very good at reading the wind direction. In the more than two months since she came out of Jianshui House, the little girl and her mother have never shown each other!
