Chapter 774 Chapter 774
The person being questioned immediately became unhappy, "You are such a bad talker, girl. My eyes are the best in the area. Not to mention her temperament, even if she is a grown-up girl, she passes by my door every day, how can I not recognize her?"
Someone nearby echoed, "Young lady, you invited us to tea today, how can we deceive you? Young lady's legs are not good, and when she got off the car, the maids had to help her walk."
After some inquiries, Diewu met Aru.
The two stood under the eaves of a house, trying to avoid the carriage convoy, which seemed to be the Zhao family delivering goods. Before they could open their mouths, they heard a few old men who were squeezed over from the side, muttering, "Prince An is unlucky. His body has been kept for so long and he hasn't been buried yet. We, the common people, have to live a hard life with him."
"That's right! But let's wait a little longer. I heard that the burial ceremony will be held on the 22nd of the winter month. We can secretly sell some wine and drinks later, and it will be ready after the spring."
One of them shook his head and said, "It's probably winter again. I heard from the madam Chen that business in their building is not good either."
whispering sound!
"Business in the building is not good. It must be difficult for you to sell your wine, brother."
"That's right. In the past, I could send some to the Yongjun Prince's Mansion. But now the royal family has to observe mourning. I can't open my shop these days. Life is hard."
Speaking of Prince Yong, A'lu immediately turned around and said, "I heard that Prince Yong and Miss Jin will get married in the spring. If I ask you to buy some wine and drinks then, I will be rich."
The man in his forties looked bitter, "How can a royal banquet use wine from a commoner like me? Besides, this girl's reputation is ruined, how can she get married?"
Um--
Alu smiled falsely, "I heard that the emperor has spoken, brother, you can't say that. When the time comes, you can go to the Prince's Mansion and the deal will be done."
The man selling wine shook his head and said, "Little brother, you don't know. I am just a small workshop. How can I expect to be in a royal banquet..."
A lot of people were talking about the eldest daughter of the Jin family coming to Beijing, and they were afraid that there would be trouble again.
Alu was full of confusion, "Why is it that after the eldest girl came back, there are always troubles?"
A short and fat man nearby said mysteriously, "I heard that this young lady's elopement was exposed, and she killed several maids—"
The gossips of the common people are often outrageous.
But when A'lu and Diewu returned to the mansion, they were still silent for a long time. Finally, Diewu spoke, "You tell the Fourth Young Master that I will go and inform the Young Madam that the eldest daughter of the Jin family has come to the capital rashly, so we must be cautious."
Song Guanzhou looked up after a long time after hearing Diewu's report.
"Jin Fuyun is back?"
"To answer Young Madam's question, it is true. I heard Zhuang Gu say it when she went out this morning. I was worried, so I went to investigate again, and it turned out to be true."
"The capital city... is really lively."
Jin Fuyun went back home. Pei Qiuyun was afraid that it would only be in the next two days. Song Guanzhou leaned back in his chair and said, "Let's wait and see what happens."
Dieyi and Rendong heard this with worried looks on their faces.
"Jin Fuyun also brought back Princess Hong'an. I'm afraid..., he has bad intentions."
Song Guanzhou smiled helplessly, "What can I do? I can't just roll up my blanket and hide away. Besides, if I can hide for a while, can I hide forever?"
It is indeed impossible to avoid it.
On the fourteenth day of the winter month, it started to be windy and rainy early in the morning. By noon, it was raining and snowing. As soon as Song Guanzhou got out of bed, he sneezed dozens of times due to the cold.
Quite embarrassed.
At noon, Lanxiang, who was beside Qi Yueniang, came over and said, "Madam, please dress up. We will go to the Prince's Mansion to pay our respects to her husband."
"Which prince's mansion?"
Song Guanzhou was full of doubts. Lanxiang said anxiously, "Madam, it's our eldest aunt who has returned. She arrived in the capital early this morning. The Crown Prince's wife discussed with our Madam and said that she would go to the Prince's Mansion in a while."
So suddenly?
Song Guanzhou had no way of refusing this matter, so Rendong took the maids and started to dress her up. Rendong thought that she was going to meet the Princess of the County, and as she was the lady of the mansion, she was afraid that she should dress low-key.
But Song Guanzhou stopped her.
"Dress normally, a little more formally, and we'll get along really well. He won't look down on me because of what I wear. If he's annoyed, he'll find fault with everything."
"What are you talking about, Madam? The Princess of the County is definitely warm and gentle—"
"From what Silang said, his elder sister and the old lady have a very close relationship. To others, she must be dignified and kind, but to me, don't expect that."
As the brother's wife, she is charming and beautiful, but her family is in decline, which makes people dislike her. What's more, she can't have children. She tries to win over her younger brother and is not allowed to take a concubine. She is not filial to her parents-in-law, and she can't take care of her husband and children. No matter who her sister-in-law is, she will not be treated well.
Song Guanzhou is well-informed in modern society. When he travels through the book to this era, he doesn't have any filters and thinks that his sister-in-law, who has married well and has a glorious marriage, would like her.
Dream it.
But Song Guanzhou thought that if Pei Qiuyun was more decent, everyone could get along peacefully on the surface, and everything would be fine.
She really wants to act like a princess of a county. This visit may be like a Hongmen Banquet.
Pei Jian heard the eldest daughter-in-law come to report, and nodded slightly, "You are the eldest sister-in-law, please take more care of it." Qi Yueniang heard it and knelt down to obey, "The princess sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that she would come to your house tomorrow to pay her respects, but your daughter-in-law thought that we should visit the sisters-in-law of the same generation first."
The status is different.
If Pei Qiuyun had not married a royal relative, things wouldn't have been so complicated.
Pei Jian knew that his eldest daughter's life in the Prince's Mansion was not as glorious as outsiders thought. When he heard his eldest daughter-in-law bring it up, he did not stop her and said, "Brother Chen, will you take me there?"
"That's right, father. My fourth brother is still on duty, so we shouldn't let him be delayed by such matters."
Nowadays, Pei An mostly works in the Ministry of Personnel. It is winter now and he is unusually busy.
We really can't delay any longer.
Pei Jian listened, thought for a moment, and then said a few words to Qi Yueniang, "Guan Zhou has a rather erratic personality, you should take care of her more, we are all family, don't lose harmony."
Qi Yueniang was also a very sensitive person. How could she not understand what her father-in-law said...
"Don't worry, father. Guan Zhou has a lively personality, but he also knows how to be polite. With a little guidance from my daughter-in-law, she will definitely not offend the princess."
After receiving the order from the Duke, Qi Yueniang came to the prince's room again. Xiao Yinxiu was also dressed up now. As for the scars left from the fight with the prince two days ago, she took great effort to cover them up about 70% with makeup.
Looking at Pei Chen who was ready, the bite marks on his face were still clearly visible.
The men were impatient and kept sending people to urge them to come. Xiao Yinxiu was busy giving instructions to his two brothers, so he was delayed for a while.
Pei Chen walked in with a look of displeasure on his face.
"If you keep dawdling, you can go tomorrow."
"I have never met my aunt before. How can I go to pay my respects to her without being taught some etiquette?"
