Chapter 1115 Chapter 1115
At the banquet, Pei Jian encouraged his two cousins who were about to take the exam and gave them some valuable writing materials. The two stood up and listened to his teachings. Afterwards, Pei Jian stopped talking about these things and instead talked about the customs of the old county.
Xu Lingbai and his sister came from there, and they couldn't help but say many words about their homesickness.
Pei Chen, however, carried the wine cup to the table of the women and said to Song Guanzhou, "Just give the two nerds a gift. It's not right for my second brother not to give any books to them."
Song Guanzhou snorted, "I don't have any scripts to give you."
Pei Chen: ...
"I can also read and write, and compose poems and couplets. I am rare in Guanzhou, so I underestimated my second brother."
Song Guanzhou's eyebrows were slightly angry, and he pointed at Pei Chen's wine cup, "Father didn't let me drink, but you came to hang around me. My eldest sister-in-law, fourth cousin's wife, and cousin all risked their lives to drink tea with me. Go back quickly."
Taking good care of your concubine is more important than anything else.
Pei Chen was disappointed and returned to the men's table. Pei Jian shook his head and said, "Asshole, aren't you afraid of offending your sister-in-law and sister?"
"They are all sisters..."
Pei Chen, who was neither good at literature nor martial arts, was as dejected as a quail, "...Father misunderstood, I just came to Guanzhou to ask for some books to read..."
"Shut up! She doesn't have any book to give you. Don't lead her astray!" Pei Jian scolded, "You have always been a playboy. If you could be compared with Ling Bai and Xiao Bei, your father wouldn't have gray hair and worry so much."
Gotta get it!
Pei Chen sighed, "My child is stupid, but there is no need for father to be angry. Although I am not as good as others, I still gave you two good grandchildren——"
"——As a father, you have no shame at all."
"It's enough that your grandson is powerful." Perhaps because he was in Shaohua Garden, Pei Chen became bolder. When everyone was eating happily, Xiao Yinxiu finally came late, carrying a food box, after being begged for a long time by Shuangyue and several other maids on their knees.
She went to Pei Jian to pay her respects to her uncle. Pei Jian did not blame her, but asked a few questions about her health. Xiao Yinxiu said something before getting up. She heard that her father was preparing a banquet, so she came over temporarily.
Please forgive me, father.
Pei Jian waved his hand and asked her to sit at the table for female relatives. Qi Yueniang, Zhang Fanghui and Xu Lingqiao got up early and greeted her.
But Pei Chen suddenly said, "Father, the affairs in the mansion are very busy, and Ah Xiu is not in good health. I am afraid that she is tired because of him. Why don't we -"
"Sir!"
Xiao Yinxiucai sat down, then suddenly stood up, stared at Pei Chen and called over.
She could not have imagined that Shuangyue and Aunt Chu's words would come true. Pei Chen! Pei Chen was so bold to say that. Everyone looked over when they heard her so angry. Pei Chen looked at her with a sidelong glance that was both provocative and contemptuous.
The corners of his lips curved upward, and uncontrollable sarcasm spread out.
"You complain to me every day, and I have heard it from heart. Now mother is not in charge, so I have to report to father and see whether he will allow you to rest for a year or two, or ask eldest sister-in-law or Guanzhou for help."
Pei Chen dares to say it!
Does Xiao Yinxiu dare to respond?
She had tears in her eyes and looked like she was bullied by Pei Chen. Everyone was afraid to say anything when it came to their lips. Qi Yueniang looked embarrassed. What was the matter with the housekeeper? The second brother really dragged her into it for no reason.
Looking at Song Guanzhou again, the fourth family member was smiling.
"Brother, you are joking. There are only so many people in the mansion, and Second Sister-in-law takes good care of them. She has just stopped for nothing. You feel sorry for Second Sister-in-law. She can take some time off to recuperate and give you a child. But it will make us suffer. We can't do that!"
Pei Jian nodded slightly, "But did you and your wife have a quarrel?"
Xiao Yinxiu responded in a low voice, "Uncle, it was my daughter-in-law who behaved improperly and caused the prince to misunderstand. This household affairs sound glorious, but it is actually tedious. My eldest sister-in-law has helped a lot on weekdays. If Guan Zhou can lend a hand, it will definitely be smoother."
Look, what a good move of retreating to advance.
Song Guanzhou looked down upon the power struggles among the concubines.
If she wants to live a peaceful life, she must give up the jealous power of the housekeeper, have enough food and clothing, and avoid the nagging of her mother-in-law. If she continues to obey Xiao Yinxiu's orders, she will be crazy!
"Okay, okay! If you two are quarreling, don't drag me and my sister-in-law into it. This mansion doesn't need a useless person like me. My second brother and his wife feel sorry for me, so let me be idle and lazy for a while, how about that?"
She laughed and cried coquettishly, seemingly angry, but she picked it cleanly.
Qi Yueniang was beside him, and she also comforted him softly, "It's common for couples to quarrel, and you can't be willful, my father finally got some free time, and a room full of brothers and sisters had a good time, but it was all thanks to Xiu'er's ability."
Xiao Yinxiu lowered her head and dared not look at the men's table again.
Pei Jian didn't express his opinion after hearing this, and the other relatives didn't know what to say either. Song Guanzhou, on the other hand, laughed and said, "Okay, second brother, you are the husband, come and have a drink with second sister-in-law, and then apologize to father together. It's your fault that you didn't have time to enjoy the banquet."
After that, he turned to look at Xiao Yinxiu and whispered, "Second sister-in-law, don't be stubborn!"
Pei Chen was unwilling. Xu Lingbai and Xiao Bei beside him whispered to persuade him. He raised his head and looked directly into Pei Jian's deep eyes. He wanted to argue a little, but his father said, "Didn't you hear what Guan Zhou said?"
Good guy!
Pei Chen had to reluctantly lift the empty cup. Seeing this, Xu Lingbai hurriedly poured wine. On the other side, Xiao Bei called for a wine cup and added another cup from Xu Lingbai's wine pot.
He stood up himself, half supported and half pulled Pei Chen, and took two steps to Xiao Yinxiu.
"Eldest sister, please don't be angry. This playboy second brother is born with this character. He has good intentions." After saying that, she handed the cup to Xiao Yinxiu. Xiao Yinxiu knew that everyone had built a ladder for her, and she would lose face if she didn't come down.
Thinking of this, Pei Chen stood up and took the cup with both hands. He snorted and drank it all in one gulp without saying anything.
Xiao Yinxiu sighed slightly and drank half a cup as well.
As there was no drink at the table for the female guests, Xu Lingbai simply came over and poured some more for the two of them, allowing them to go up to Pei Jian and apologize in unison.
Pei Jian then looked up and stopped drinking.
Looking at the elderly couple standing in front of him, he said, "Your sister-in-law lives a lonely life and has a kind nature. Don't turn around and bully her just because of the discord between you and your wife."
"Don't you dare!"
The couple blushed and lowered their heads to answer in a whisper.
"Guan Zhou doesn't like to be in charge. Although she has been married to the fourth brother for more than two years, she is erratic, playful and has a bad temper. It's useless to ask her to take care of the housekeeping matters—"
Just when he got here, Song Guanzhou held the tea in both hands, raised it above his head, and toasted Pei Jianyao with a smile on his face, "Father still understands me!"
There is a bandit spirit in him who wants to drink a cup.
Pei Jian was originally scolding someone, but he was interrupted by her. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. His dignity was broken. He pointed at Song Guanzhou at the table of women, looking disappointed. "You two take a look at her. Can she be a housekeeper with her temperament?"
