A good feast needs an early start?

Although there were four people at the table, Aunt Li and Pei Qiuyu were just companions from beginning to end.

When the meal was over, he quickly stood up and said goodbye to the master and the young mistress.

Song Guanzhou had a second lunch and ate a lot of food and wine. He felt uncomfortable with his full stomach, but he still insisted on saying goodbye to Pei Jian, "Father, don't be sad. The dead have passed away, but the living have to look forward. Father has enjoyed great grace. Now that Your Majesty has sympathized with you and has some free time, why not spend some time in nature and relax yourself and relieve your worries."

Pei Jian felt more touched when he saw his drunken daughter-in-law walking unsteadily with a rosy face.

"Father knows."

Song Guanzhou looked at the pretty peach blossoms, and a trace of melancholy flowed out inadvertently, "Father remembers the peach blossoms in March in his heart. He is glad that the peach blossoms are alive, but father cannot become disgusted with the summer and autumn fruits because of the withering of the peach blossoms."

Pei Jian's heart was moved. "What is summer fruit and autumn fruit?"

Song Guanzhou's eyes sparkled, "From the state affairs to the peace of the people, and the prosperity of the people and livestock in the government, to the succession of the government."

After saying this, the wind from the front yard passed through the study and now blew onto her flushed face.

Song Guanzhou waved his hand in confusion, "Father, the wine in the kitchen today is not strong enough, but you have a wide network of contacts, why don't you find some famous wines, and I will come back to have a cup to try some other day, okay?"

The word "good" is lingering and coquettish.

She looks just like a young girl, very clever and quirky.

Pei Jian knew that she was only trying to accompany him, so he could only nod and said, "I used to be a drunkard, but forget it. When I find something good in Linhe, I'll call you back."

Although she was the daughter-in-law, she was only eighteen or nineteen years old. She bowed tenderly, leaned on Honeysuckle, and walked out of the yard with one foot deep and one foot shallow. The cool breeze made her feel even more dizzy.

Fortunately, Zhuanggu found a small sedan chair, and several wives and maids from Shaohua Garden worked together to carry her back.

Xiao Yinxiu got the news, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "What?"

Aunt Chu had told Xiao Yinxiu about Song Guanzhou's drinking with her father-in-law at the beginning. She didn't care at first, but she didn't expect that they would drink for nearly two hours and the fourth son was even drunk! It was a joke. Which daughter-in-law could be so outrageous with her father-in-law——

"A foolish woman who doesn't know etiquette."

Aunt Chu helped her out of the courtyard and said, "Send Aunt Fang away early tomorrow. You can teach her when you have free time."

"Oh, forget it. I haven't even raised Ling'er and Huan'er yet, so why should I care about her!" Xiao Yinxiu's heart sank. "Now that my mother has been severely punished, I have to be more careful in the future. However, the Song family was able to turn the tide, which was completely beyond my expectation."

Aunt Chu laughed sarcastically, "My lady, there are so many things in this world that you have to see. When the Fourth Young Master first got married, he also liked Song's beauty, but what happened later? He hated her to the extreme. If it weren't for the old lady's excessive behavior last time, I'm afraid the Fourth Young Master would still be staying in Yanlai Hall now."

Xiao Yinxiu quickened her pace and frowned in displeasure, "I always feel that the Song family is a little different from before."

"Well, maybe she is imitating the ways of the prostitutes out there, using some seductive tricks. The Fourth Young Master is still young, so he is probably just looking for something new."

Aunt Tao, who followed behind, had been keeping her head down and saying nothing, but when she heard this, she suddenly interrupted, "Madam, I think we are on the same page. Since the last time Madam asked me to supervise Song, I feel like she has become a different person."

Xiao Yinxiu sighed, "No matter what, from now on, you guys should flatter her when you see her. I'm afraid that Madam Xian is right. The evil spirit has entered her body, causing her personality to change drastically. As long as it doesn't affect the management of this mansion, I will turn a blind eye."

Pei An was on duty. It was fine when he was busy all day, but when he was free, he would think of the heroic words he left with Song Guanzhou when he got up in the morning and left.

Just as they were about to ride away, Qin Erlang whistled, "So urgent?"

Pei An reined in his horse and got off. "Erlang, didn't you go to your second brother-in-law's place? When will you be back?"

"I returned this morning. My second brother-in-law was transferred to a new place, and my family asked me to go for a drink, that's all." He has always been carefree. He rode there, had a meal and drank some wine, and did not rest at night before riding back.

His second sister was so anxious that she wanted to catch his servant and beat him up.

"This is my sister's house after all, how can we not spend the night there?"

On the contrary, my second brother-in-law Guo Liqing stroked his beard and smiled, "Erlang is free, how can he be restrained? It is not easy for him to come to my colleagues' small banquet to drink a glass of wine, so don't annoy him."

Qin Runing twisted his handkerchief and sighed, "Look, he doesn't like the imperial examination, he doesn't like the official position his father donated, and he stays away from marrying a wife. I see Pei Si has been married for more than two years, how come he doesn't know anything!"

"Erlang is only twenty-three or twenty-four. He has always had his own ideas. Besides, the palace is stable, so it is better for Erlang to keep a low profile."

Crown Princess Qin Ruzhang had her own plans, so Qin Qingdong simply ate, drank and had fun, becoming a happy and leisurely dandy.

"Did you forget what day it was today?" Qin Qingdong walked over swinging a jeweled whip, leaving Pei An confused. "What day was it?"

"Let's go to Fuyun."

Pei An slapped his head and exclaimed, "Today is already the seventh day of March?"

Qin Qingdong was annoyed and said sarcastically, "Oh, you still remember it, you are not heartless."

"Don't talk nonsense. Fuyun is still unmarried. You and I are nothing more than close friends and siblings to her. All you talk about is her birthday. How can she get married in the future?" Pei An said seriously. Qin Qingdong gave him a heavy kick without mercy.

"Let's go!"

Pei An asked back, "Just send the gift. It's not appropriate to go with such fanfare."

Qin Qingdong was puzzled. "We had such affection in Liyang back then, but now we have to avoid it like this. Pei Si, I never knew you were so pedantic."

After saying that, he dragged me away on foot without further ado.

"You and I are not related to her, and we have no relationship. How should people view you when you rush to her house?"

Qin Qingdong glanced at him and said, "I know that Fuyun is also a smart person. She is hosting a banquet at her princess's mansion. You didn't take the note I gave you a few days ago to heart at all!"

Pei An thought for a moment before reacting, "It's my fault, it's just that there have been a lot of family matters in the mansion recently--"

"Stop giving excuses. Although Fuyun has relatives everywhere in Beijing, who else can celebrate her birthday with her except you and me?"

Pei An thought about it and realized that it was true.

Jin Fuyun's style of doing things was straightforward and independent, and she couldn't get along with the girl next to her.

When Qin Erlang arrived here, he didn't give in to any further explanation and forced him to go, "Let's go, let's go. The Manyue Tower is closed to visitors today, just for Fuyun's birthday." Pei An had no choice but to accept it. He mounted his horse and whipped Qin Qingdong in front and behind, heading towards the Manyue Tower.

In the Full Moon Tower, Jin Fuyun leaned lazily on the chaise longue, chatting with Zhu Baoyue in random topics.

"Thank you, young lady, for not minding me and hosting a banquet here."

Jin Fuyun disagreed, "The prosperity of the world does not come from a large number of guests. Three or five close friends are better than tens of thousands."
