Chapter 740 Chapter 740
The sound outside the courtyard came from far away and gradually reached her ears. The fourth aunt of the Qi family looked up at Qi Yueniang and said, "Is this your fourth brother's wife?"
Qi Yueniang smiled and nodded.
"That's right. Brother Qin likes this Fourth Aunt the most. He likes to go to Shaohua Garden whenever there is something going on. And I, your sister-in-law, also dote on Brother Qin and his three brothers. They are very close to each other day by day. The close relationship between the aunt and nephew is the envy of others."
Song Guanzhou's hearty laughter came from outside, "What topic are you working on?"
"I wrote three pages of spring persuasion for farmers. The teacher said that although my words are a bit flowery, there are still one or two points that are worth reading."
The teacher of the three Qin brothers is a "high-quality lecturer" hired by the government with high salary. He is famous in the education circle for his harsh words and his supervision of students.
He is reluctant to praise students easily, for fear that they will become proud and complacent.
Qin Ge'er was naturally proud of the comment he received today. He told Song Guanzhou about it. Song Guanzhou asked two questions, probably about the intention of the article. Although Qin Ge'er was young, his thinking logic was rigorous and unmatched by his peers.
He mainly wrote about the harvest, looking up at Song Guanzhou, "Aunt Four, I think that advising farmers is just like studying for imperial examinations. If we don't seek a result, but just keep saying that the land is barren and overgrown with weeds because of farmers' laziness, such criticism and rebuke does not fit the topic—"
"Well, what Qin Ge'er said makes some sense. So how would you write it in terms of the result?"
Qin Ge'er shook his head and wanted to recite.
Song Guanzhou pinched his little face and said, "Don't show off your knowledge. I, your fourth aunt, don't understand all those nonsense. How about you say something that ordinary people can understand?"
Qin Ge'er cried out in pain and kept saying yes.
"Aunt Four, basically, we need to harvest in autumn and plant in spring. If we plant, we need land, seeds, fertilizers, and manpower. I started with these and thought of many problems. For example, if the rent is too high, how can we make a living? Should the court provide corresponding assistance--"
Just saying this, Song Guanzhou's eyes lit up.
She immediately raised her hands and pinched Qin Ge'er's childish face. "You are worthy of being my nephew, Song Guanzhou. You have such a smart way of thinking. After hearing what you said, I am very curious about your article. Your brief description is a bit rough. How about this——"
She paused for a moment and said, "I'll tell you in detail after dinner."
After all, under the eaves outside the door, Qi Yueniang was supporting a woman who was about forty or fifty years old, looking at them with a smile.
Xu Lingqiao was standing nearby, whispering with concern, "Your fourth aunt's grip was heavy, did it hurt Qin Ge'er?"
Qin Ge'er held his slightly red face in his hands and shook his head repeatedly, "Don't worry, cousin, Fourth Aunt won't be willing to pinch me."
This one sentence made Song Guanzhou burst out laughing.
"You are young, but look at Brother Huan, he has become more solid and tender recently. I pinched him twice, and he hid with his face in his hands when he saw me."
Xiao Yinxiu's mood became more open after learning that the Princess of Ming County was returning to the capital.
She no longer restricted the two brothers, and would turn a blind eye from time to time, allowing them to go to Shaohuayuan to have a meal and take a nap.
That's why Song Guanzhou said this today.
Qi Yueniang and the fourth aunt of the Qi family heard this and said, "Guan Zhou, you can't indulge him. If he gets your praise, he will be so proud in the future."
Song Guanzhou was the first to be attacked. He was wearing a double-breasted jacket made of fragrant Lu silk and a calla lily pattern, a purple and moon-white skirt embroidered with peach blossoms, and a longevity necklace on his chest with a longevity red jade pendant below.
She walked over in red satin and white gauze high-soled shoes, stepping gracefully.
"Sister-in-law, what you said is true. Brother Qin should study hard and be encouraged." After saying that, he looked at the lady beside him and bowed to her, "Sister-in-law, this is my fourth aunt from my mother's family, right?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the fourth aunt of the Qi family held her hands and said, "Young Madam is really beautiful, bright and charming, get up quickly, and don't be polite."
Qi Yueniang stood by and introduced her to her fourth aunt, "Fourth aunt, this is my fourth brother's wife, An's brother's wife, her maiden name is Guanzhou."
After saying that, he pulled over a beautiful woman who was standing behind Song Guanzhou. She was dressed in simple and elegant clothes but looked like an orchid in a valley. "This is Guanzhou's cousin. Take a look. Do they look like twin fairies?"
"Meet the Fourth Madam."
Xu Lingqiao also followed suit and bowed politely. Before the Fourth Lady of the Qi family saw Xu Lingqiao, she was still wondering what she looked like. How could a woman from a fallen family dare to reject the good marriage offered by the Qi family!
But now look, wow, they do have the capital!
What's more, her cousin is the fourth young lady of the mansion. Her husband, Pei An, is young and promising with a bright future.
My elder brother also passed the imperial examination this year, so I will have to choose carefully.
"They really look very similar. One is gorgeous and dazzling, while the other is gentle and quiet. They are not twins, but they are better than twins."
Hearing the compliment, Xu Lingqiao's oval face blushed with shyness. She lowered her eyes, twitched her brows slightly, and said, "Madam, you are too kind."
The soft and gentle voice, the sweet voice of a sweet girl, made the fourth lady of the Qi family like him more and more.
He quickly grabbed one in each hand, and even calling her a fairy might not be as good as her.
Song Guanzhou's face was full of peach blossoms, and he smiled sweetly, "Fourth Madam's praise made Guanzhou very happy. Today, I will eat until I am full at my sister-in-law's place."
"You and Yue Niang are sisters. If you don't mind, you can follow Yue Niang's example and call me Fourth Aunt. Our Madam's comings and goings will become more and more unfamiliar."
Song Guanzhou nodded happily.
"It's good enough as long as Fourth Aunt doesn't mind my child being reckless and vulgar."
"Oh my God! How could I bear to despise you? I just regret that Fourth Aunt seldom went out in the capital before, otherwise I would have met Guan Zhou more often."
"Then from now on, Fourth Aunt will come to the mansion more often to visit Sister-in-law, and I will also come to Sister-in-law's place to eat."
The four female members of the family are all eloquent and extremely intelligent.
They chatted and laughed and were led into the house. Although the fourth lady of the Qi family talked a lot with Song Guanzhou, she never treated Xu Lingqiao coldly.
It was cold at the beginning of winter, and after the food entered their stomachs, everyone felt warm.
Qi Yueniang had not been to Shaohua Garden for the past two days, and asked about Song Guanzhou's health. Song Guanzhou nodded and said, "It was my fault that I made you worry for so long. Now I am fine, so don't worry. A few days ago, I went to the farm with Silang, my cousins, and we went hiking and hiking."
Compared with Song Guanzhou's liveliness and agility, Xu Lingqiao is very quiet and gentle.
She was well-mannered and spoke little, but always smiling. When she heard the Fourth Lady of the Qi family invite her to eat, she kept saying thank you to her aunt.
After the meal, the fourth wife of the Qi family wanted to marry the girl immediately.
