Because of this matter, he had no time to count the accounts. Seeing this, Qin Qingdong simply stopped and told Chun Ge to go outside to prepare a table of food and send it to the mansion, so that he could have a good meal with Song Guanzhou.
Song Guanzhou dropped the account book and refused to speak.
Seeing this, Qin Qingdong called Alu again and whispered a few words to him. Alu trotted out, found Liu Er and took the carriage.
Liu Er hesitated, "Are you going there by yourself?"
A'lu nodded, "Brother Chun is going to prepare the banquet, and Shaohuayuan doesn't have anyone who can be used. Second Master Qin has given the order, so I will go there myself."
When Pei An was on duty, the banquet had just been prepared at Shaohua Garden.
It was indeed a banquet from a big restaurant, with all the colors, aromas and flavors. They used the restaurant’s own plates, bowls, chopsticks and dishes, and even the wine jugs were exquisite and rare from the official kiln.
Qin Qingdong was very generous and ordered all the expensive autumn crabs, mandarin fish, grass shrimps and venison at that time of year.
Pei An saw this and asked curiously, "Today is not your birthday, why are you willing to spend so much money?"
Qin Qingdong looked at Pei An and snorted in his heart, "If you and your wife didn't quarrel tonight, I would really believe it."
With a half-smile on his face, he said, "I saw that Brother Lingbai and Guanzhou were having a hard time settling accounts, and I thought that I haven't had a meal with you guys for quite some time, so why not host the party and have a drink together?"
Pei An frowned, "Be careful these days, at least you should think about the queen."
"It's okay. I wasn't the one who called."
Chun Ge was standing by, grinning foolishly, saying, "Fourth Young Master, don't worry, I sent someone to call him, and it was a matter that passed through several hands. Besides, that restaurant is a place that our young master often goes to, and the shopkeeper knows it very well."
He also said that the food for the banquet would come in from the corner door above the kitchen.
Pei An responded, turned around and looked around. Seeing that Song Guanzhou was nowhere to be found, he called the maid to ask, "Where is your young lady?"
Lotus exclaimed, "Young Madam was just walking in the yard, how come she is gone?" She ran back into the house and came out like the wind a moment later, "Fourth Master, Young Madam is not in the house either."
Qin Qingdong and Xu Lingbai were also curious, even though it was right in front of them.
It was still Ren Dong who came out of the small kitchen with wet hands. "Don't worry, Fourth Young Master. The Young Madam said she was going to take a walk in the lotus pond. She brought Qing Fang and Qing Fei with her. It won't be a problem."
Song Guanzhou rarely left Shaohua Garden on weekdays. One reason was that she was busy, and the other was that she was afraid of meeting Pei Chen's new concubine Gao.
Gao was not much older than Song Guanzhou, and was a pretty girl from a small family, quite pretty.
As soon as they entered the door, Xiao Yinxiu pinched her nose and suppressed her anger, and led her two sisters-in-law to the courtyards to get to know the place.
But if you don't recognize this path, it's fine. Once you recognize it, problems will arise.
Gao didn't know why, but she felt that the fourth young master's wife was kind-hearted and beautiful, and must be someone she could make friends with.
Pei Chen doted on her when he first got her.
It seems that she has also said privately that her fourth brother's wife does not have much prejudice against family backgrounds. She also treats a female doctor who runs a street medicine shop as a good sister.
Perhaps because of these words, she went to Shaohua Garden several times to visit Song Guanzhou.
At the beginning, Song Guanzhou was willing to entertain Rendong because she was a commoner woman who was "forced to marry" by Pei Chen. But after more than three times, Song Guanzhou felt that something was wrong and said he was busy and sent Rendong away.
I thought I would just give up there and retreat like Aunt Qiao did in the past when she saw difficulties.
But Gao had also been educated with her father and brothers since she was a child, and had some opinions of her own. After lunch every day, Rendong would coax Song Guanzhou to take a walk out of Shaohua Garden, either to Biluozhai or Rongfu Garden to sit with Xu Lingqiao and Zhang Fanghui, or to Kuoyue Zhai to have tea with the eldest young lady.
It’s better to take a walk back and forth than to be bored in Shaohuayuan every day.
But Gao had caught Song Guanzhou off guard several times. It was difficult to refuse a smiling person, not to mention that Gao was very polite. After more than a month, Song Guanzhou could only stay in Shaohua Garden.
Pei An didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this.
"You are a proper young lady, why should you be afraid of her? If you don't care about her, tell the maids and stay away from her."
Song Guanzhou curled his lips, feeling very embarrassed.
"She didn't plot against me. I was just afraid that I gave her a false impression at the beginning, causing her to feel pity for me."
"mercy?"
Song Guanzhou held his forehead with his hand. "If she was just trying to make friends, I would have refused. But when I look at her, it seems like she really wants to make friends with me."
No plot, just sincere heart.
The hastily made exquisite embroidery and the meticulously crafted fruit snacks, I'm afraid that Xiao Yinxiu has one and Song Guanzhou has one.
"I don't want to get close to her. Although I don't like your second sister-in-law, it doesn't mean I have to be friends with my second brother's concubine. Help, Silang."
The little wife threw herself into his arms, pouting and looking helpless.
She let her hair down and buried her head in Pei An's arms, twisting and turning. Her long hair rubbed against Pei An, who was only wearing a silk shirt, and made him feel itchy.
"Hurry up and sit down. Are you feeling any pain?"
Song Guanzhou didn't understand what was going on. He raised his head in his arms, his wet eyes like a deer lost in the deep forest, innocent yet stupid.
"If it doesn't hurt, come again tonight."
Hey!
Song Guanzhou reacted and his ears turned red immediately. "I can't do this anymore. Although Silang is tender and delicious, I really can't do anything. Silang, please bear with it for a few more days."
How many days?
Pei An laughed and held the long-haired fairy on his legs. The couple laughed and played in the curtain in the dim candlelight.
"It won't take a few days. In seven or eight days, you will have your period. As your husband, you must eat and drink enough in advance."
Song Guanzhou raised his head and laughed, "It's not up to you. You made me so exhausted last night that I can't even look at the accounts today. My waist and back ached all day. If it weren't for my cousins, I would have collapsed long ago."
Pei An felt distressed when he heard this. He laid her flat on the bed and began to massage her gently.
"Gao, you don't have to care. If you really can't refuse, I'll tell my second brother."
Song Guanzhou groaned, "Forget it. No matter how many times I hide, she will know sooner or later and won't come again."
Song Guanzhou, who is kind to others in modern society, still feels that this is unfair to others.
Pei An leaned over and kissed her cheek. "It's not a big deal. Your man has just entered the court and has a meager family background. If he really achieves something in the future, you will definitely meet more 'sincere' people like this."
Song Guanzhou wailed, "We'll talk about it when you become successful. Right now, I have some reservations. It's really inappropriate for a good girl to become someone else's concubine."
Pei An's strength varied from time to time. Song Guanzhou couldn't stand the pain and asked him to stop. The couple lay under the quilt and whispered to each other.
"What's wrong with being a concubine? Besides, he's a man of Second Brother's status, not very old, and handsome. Although the mansion is not that noble, it's still a place that ordinary people can't reach. You, don't worry about it."
"Well, I don't understand but I respect her. I'll just stay away from her for a while."
