The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Song Guanzhou was stunned, "This is——"

Aunt Chu followed behind and said, "Madam, this is the little girl that Aunt Fang bought two years ago. She is young and ignorant. Now the master has made the decision to let her take the position of Aunt Fang's goddaughter. Kneel here in mourning to see her off."

"What's your name?"

The little girl cried and said, "Madam, my name is Xiangguo."

Song Guanzhou turned around and looked at the dark coffin. Although there were colorful paper goods on top, they could not hide the eerie chill of the passing of life.

Ren Dong lit three sticks of incense and handed them to Song Guanzhou. Song Guanzhou nodded according to his memory and let Ren Dong put the incense in the incense burner. He didn't say anything, but just asked Aunt Chu, "Will these incense fruits be left in father's yard for use?"

Aunt Chu smiled awkwardly, "I don't know, it depends on the master's decision."

Rendong offered some fruits in front of the coffin and burned some incense and candles. Finally, she took Zhuanggu to kneel down and pay homage to Aunt Fang. Song Guanzhou left the mourning hall on his own and stood in the yard.

The sound of monks chanting sutras disturbed her. The sun was shining brightly yesterday, but it was half cloudy and half sunny today. Linhe saw her standing alone under the peach tree in the yard, so he hurried over to greet her. Song Guanzhou looked at him and realized that he was the attendant of the Duke, so he simply asked, "Where is father?"

Linhe nodded, "The master is in the study. He went in early in the morning and hasn't eaten anything."

Looking at the sun, Song Guanzhou was a little surprised, "You haven't eaten yet?"

"Sent it in several times, and it came out intact."

Lin He said in a low voice, "It's been several days, and the master has lost a lot of weight."

Looking towards the main room, Song Guanzhou instructed Linhe, "You lead the way. I'll go and pay my respects to my father. I have to say a few words of comfort. We should have some food."

Lin He was stunned for a moment, then he felt happy, "Thank you, young madam, please follow me." After that, he walked through a crescent-shaped door and entered the small courtyard next to it. Although it was not big, it was quiet. The sounds of the monks chanting were separated from the world.

In the mansion, the only one who can speak to the master is the Fourth Young Master.

But the Fourth Young Master has official duties during the day, and the Hanlin Academy is currently revising the history books of the previous dynasties. Pei An starts work as soon as he draws the morning sign, so it would be considered good if he can finish on time.

As for the prince and his wife, they were timid in front of the Duke and could not say a few words. They lost their minds when they were scolded. After a while, the two dared not approach the master except to pay their respects on weekdays. As for others, such as Aunt Li and the Second Miss, they dared not approach him.

Not to mention the second house, everyone acted like thieves in front of the Duke, so there was no question of comforting them.

Of course, when the second master came, he could only say, "My brother, she is just a little girl, what are you afraid of? I will find you a girl from a decent family, I guarantee she will be gentle and pretty."

It’s better not to say anything!

Now, Song Guanzhou took the initiative to talk about it. Linhe was rarely happy, and soon, he arrived in front of the house.

Just as Lin He was about to knock on the door, Song Guanzhou raised his hand to stop him, lifted his skirt and walked to the porch, knocking on the door himself, "Father, I am Guanzhou."

In the room, Pei Jian, who was leaning on a Hu couch, facing the charcoal basin that had long been extinguished, was in a daze. He moved and looked at the boat?

Normally, these three daughters-in-law would avoid the father-in-law and his daughter-in-law when there was nothing to do, but now they came knocking on the door, and no one knew what they wanted.

"--come in."

Song Guanzhou lifted her skirt and pushed the door open. The light from outside instantly followed her figure and spread into the study, making the originally dim room bright.

"Father, do you have some free time to answer my questions?"

Linhe almost fell down. The Fourth Young Master's wife's words were really shocking. He felt a little regretful. If the Fourth Young Master's wife made the master angry, it would be more trouble than gain.

"What's the matter?"

Pei Jian was also a little surprised. This daughter-in-law was really bold and outspoken. But seeing Song Guanzhou's innocent face, he had to give up.

After Song Guanzhou came in, he also did not follow any conventions. He slowly inquired around, then turned back and instructed Linhe, "Go to the kitchen and ask for some dishes that my father and I like, and also heat up a pot of wine. My father and I will talk while we eat." Rendong, who was chasing after him, stopped and said, "My dear young lady, you just had a bowl of pearl rice."

"I obey your orders."

Linhe jumped up and ran to the kitchen.

Rendong called Zhuanggu and whispered a few words to her. Zhuanggu followed her orders and chased Linhe out.

She stood under the eaves, quietly listening to orders.

In the study, Song Guanzhou treated Pei Jian as an outsider. After greeting him, he smiled and said, "Father, I am confused about many things. But my second sister-in-law is busy, my mother doesn't care about things, and Silang is busy with official duties. To be honest, there is no one to help me with the confusion in my heart. I would like to ask you to make a decision for me."

Complain?

Pei Jian was already sad and anxious because of the death of Aunt Fang, and now his spoiled daughter-in-law was quite ignorant and went back to her old ways.

When she first got married, whenever the couple had a disagreement, the first thing the daughter-in-law would do was to block his Zhengxian Pavilion and cry and demand an explanation.

Pei Jian was so annoyed that he could not stand it.

Now, coming again?

Pei Jian wanted to just wave her off, "Guan Zhou, women are the masters of the house, so they should be dignified and generous. What are you doing?"

The daughter-in-law standing in front of the window seemed to have no ears. She suddenly pushed open the window, and a draught suddenly blew into the study.

"My father's study must have been closed for a long time, so it's gloomy, damp and cold. I opened the window and let the wind in to cool it down."

Pei Jian: Shouan, what kind of girl are you raising!

How bold!

Rendong was outside, and through the open door of the study, she knew what the young lady had done. She lowered her head and thought, "Never mind, if she gets kicked out, then she gets kicked out. At worst, she can take the blame when she gets punished."

Song Guanzhou held up the two window panes one by one.

As soon as one of the window lattices was opened, a few peach branches in full bloom peeked in.

Song Guanzhou's eyes were filled with joy. He stretched out his hands and clicked a few times, finally folded all the items in his hands. Then he carried them to Pei Jian and looked left and right as if looking for something. Pei Jian had no choice but to point to a short, big-bellied, narrow-mouthed vase on the antique shelf.

"Thank you father."

Song Guanzhou moved lightly with lotus steps and quickly moved to the other side. He took the blue-white jade vase and inserted the peach blossom in his arms into the vase.

He carried her to the high table next to Pei Jian's bed, and after looking at her from top to bottom, he said to Pei Jian, "Father, look, the peach blossoms in March are so gorgeous."

Pei Jian said nothing and wanted to send her away.

But she added, "But the blooming season is destined to be in March. In a few days, these clusters of flowers will turn into spring mud. It is destined that they will not bloom until April. No matter how much care we take, we can't keep them. Don't you agree, father?"

Pei Jian raised his head, his face cold and he did not answer, but just asked:

"Guan Zhou, are you here to visit Fang Er?"
