Chapter 575
Pan Xi had someone to rely on. After getting married, she tied her hair into a bun and became a daughter-in-law. On the day after her wedding night, she went to Jin Fuyun to kowtow and express her gratitude. Now that she could no longer serve him personally, she retreated to the outside of Jin Fuyun's room and did some other work.
She sat under the eaves and made underwear for Jin Fuyun.
The whole yard was filled with the fragrance of golden osmanthus. Pan Xi put down her needlework, feeling a little dazed. She had just become a wife, so it was hard to say whether she was happy or not, but her heart had finally settled.
When I looked up again, there were more broken clouds in the sky.
Today is August 15th. I'm afraid we won't be able to see the full moon tonight. Other families in their large mansions must be busy preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Some families from the south will even comfort their ancestors on the morning of August 15th, and the preparation of sacrifices will make people unable to stop.
But the princess's villa is very quiet.
First, there are few masters. Although Jin Yunfan is in charge of the mansion, there are not so many red tapes.
Secondly, there are few social interactions. The general of the Jin family and the princess are not in this courtyard in the capital. Except for three or five close relatives, no one else can send gifts here.
However, the second branch of the Pei family, whether masters or servants, started busying themselves early in the morning. Gu Miaofeng sent the child to Mrs. Mei early and reported the day's itinerary to her.
"Mother, the peonies and chrysanthemums in our house are in full bloom. When I asked Dalang, he also said that we should hold a small Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in Lingxiang Courtyard, where the sweet-scented osmanthus is fragrant. The house there is spacious, and if the weather is bad today and it rains, we won't be embarrassed by the rain."
Mrs. Mei nodded in agreement.
"You two should make the decision. Your uncle and father are not at home. It's us, the queen and her daughter, who are here. We don't need to talk about those empty formalities. We just want the family to be safe and happy."
"Just rest assured, mother."
Mrs. Mei wanted to come, so she asked again, "Did your sister-in-law say when she would come?"
Gu Miaofeng took the teapot from the maid and poured tea for her mother-in-law. "Yesterday I went to ask my eldest sister-in-law and heard that the prince has also returned. It seems that he can come, but my eldest sister-in-law said that if she comes to eat at noon, it will inevitably be too crowded and disturb you, Madam, so she will come before dinner."
"You are always polite, sister-in-law. You just come here for lunch. How can you disturb me? But -"
She sent the maids and servants away, leaving only the mother and daughter to talk.
"…Did you hear that your aunt could come out to celebrate the festival with you?"
Gu Miaofeng hesitated for a moment, then slowly shook her head, "My sister-in-law didn't mention it, and I didn't dare to say anything. Now my aunt is in the small Buddhist temple, and no one can see her except my uncle."
Hearing this, Mrs. Mei couldn't help but sigh.
"Speaking of my eldest sister-in-law, she has been strong all her life, but now she is old, she still stirs up trouble. We are not in that room, and we don't know the reason. We can hear rumors, but we can't tell right from wrong. Has Hua'er explained it to you?"
Gu Miaofeng nodded slightly and whispered to her mother-in-law.
"Da Lang just said that if no one else mentions our aunt, then our family won't mention it either. Seeing that the prince and An Ge'er are indifferent, why should we, who live in the next family, worry about it?"
Mrs. Mei listened and nodded slightly.
"An'er is heartbroken. If Guan Zhou wasn't around, he would even avoid seeing me, for fear that seeing me would remind him of Che'er."
Speaking of Che Ge'er, she pulled her daughter-in-law's hand again and asked anxiously, "Did Yue Niang mention whether Che Ge'er has returned home?"
Pei Che...
"Mother, my sister-in-law has never heard that Sanlang has ever set foot in our house in these years. I just heard from Dalang that Sanlang has been safe and sound these years, traveling all over the world, so you can rest assured."
When Mrs. Mei mentioned Pei Che, tears welled up in her eyes.
Gu Miaofeng quickly wiped her tears and said, "Mother, please don't be sad. These are good days. After all that happened to Sanlang, he is lucky to be alive and well now."
Hearing this, Mrs. Mei wiped her tears and sighed.
"Thinking of Che'er and An'er, I hate my eldest sister-in-law. The things she did out of her mind harmed the two children. An'er has established a family and a career, but my poor nephew turned out to be a weird Buddha. What a sin."
Mrs. Mei rarely mentioned the affairs of the first house, and today was the Mid-Autumn Festival, so she couldn't help but think too much. Gu Miaofeng tried to comfort her, and only when Pei Shuyu, Mei Qingyu and several illegitimate sisters came to pay their respects did she get away.
All travel between the prefectures takes place on this day.
Everyone in Dalong attaches great importance to the Mid-Autumn Festival. From top to bottom, everyone has an extra day off. Pei An wanted to hug his wife and have a sweet sleep, but Song Guanzhou had already entered the working state and had to get up before dawn. No matter how coquettish and silly Pei An was, she couldn't keep the workaholic away.
"Today is a festival--"
The man dragging Song Guanzhou on the bed was good-looking, but he was also a spoiled brat. He wrapped his arms around Song Guanzhou's slender waist, buried his head in Song Guanzhou's shoulders and chest, and murmured, begging, "My lady, just think of it as you feel sorry for your husband and sleep a little longer."
Song Guanzhou held his aching lower back and snorted in refusal, "You can't sleep any more. I let you go wild last night, but you're going to mess up my business."
She wanted to get up from the quilt, but the man was very strong and just let her struggle in vain. After she was exhausted, she simply nestled in Pei An's arms like a big cat.
"Don't make a fuss. Your two cousins will be here soon."
Pei An laughed, "It's a big festival, but you didn't even allow them to rest for a day. Besides, cousin Bei finally came back from the academy, and you still want to use him as a slave."
Song Guanzhou pouted in displeasure, "After all, it's the Xiao family's business. My cousin Bei has some experience in this area. I can get to the bottom of many things when I ask him."
Speaking of checking the accounts, Song Guanzhou was overwhelmed. "Have you sent someone to deliver the letter to Cangge'er?"
Pei An raised his head and chuckled, "Who dares to delay the affairs of the Great Censor Song? After you tell me, I will meet with my cousin Bei to discuss in detail. I have already sent the letter, so don't worry."
What surprised Song Guanzhou was that Dalong already had a mature auditing office, which included the position of Audit Censor, which was why Pei An teased her just now.
"There must be someone familiar to help me solve my doubts."
Song Guanzhou stayed with him for a while, not allowing him to waste any more time, and bit the man's neck gently, "You should get some sleep. We have to go to Second Aunt's place this afternoon. If you don't get up early to work, I'm afraid you won't be able to finish it."
Pei An's face was full of depression. "If I had known that I would occupy you like this, I would definitely not agree to Cang Ge'er's bad idea."
Song Guanzhou pinched his high nose bridge and said, "The more capable you are, the more work you should do. Cang'er promised me a house. A good man should not delay his wife from making money. Do your logistics work well, my Lord Pei!"
"Your Master Pei wants a kiss!"
Song Guanzhou smiled falsely, "Just kissing is not enough." She pushed Pei An onto the bed and turned over to straddle him. Pei An's face was full of expectation, "Madam——"
"Hurry up and take off your clothes."
After that, Song Guanzhou quickly stripped Pei An naked. Pei An murmured softly, "My wife, be gentle, your husband - Hey! Song Guanzhou, you bastard!"
