Chapter 505
Song Guanzhou then realized that his joke almost caused misunderstanding.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, don't worry too, my love with Qin Er, Cang Ge'er, and my third brother is so sincere, it has nothing to do with love between men and women. Besides, which of them is as handsome as my Silang?"
Hearing such joking words, Qi Yueniang and Xu Lingqiao were both stunned, and then burst into laughter.
The three of them had lunch together at noon. Qi Yueniang mentioned the Huang family's old man's birthday banquet in two days, "It's a pity that Sister Ling Qiao is not going."
When Xu Lingqiao heard that man's last name, she felt chilled.
At this moment, he could only deal with Qi Yueniang, "Sister-in-law, Ling Qiao has never been to such a big scene before. If she loses her sense of propriety, takes the wrong path or says the wrong thing, it will be even more embarrassing for her to face others in the future..."
Seeing that Song Guanzhou had no intention of asking her to go, Qi Yue Niang just smiled and passed it off.
"Well, if you really don't like it, then don't go. There's no fun in a birthday party like this. It's nothing more than a room full of women getting together and socializing randomly."
Speaking of which, Qi Yueniang also sighed.
As a widow, she has been away from home most of the time to accompany Qin Ge'er to study. She just came back this year, and I'm afraid she won't be able to adapt to the world this time.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
But on the first day before his departure, Qin Qingdong finally stepped into Shaohua Garden unnoticed, fanning himself. Rendong and the maids were still arranging flowers and plants when they suddenly heard a voice from behind, "Where is your young mistress?" She was so scared that she lost her soul.
Qingfang covered her chest. She became familiar with Qin Qingdong, so she said boldly, "Second Master, you are going to scare me to death..."
Qin Qingdong put away his fan and tapped her head gently. "Where is Guan Zhou? Why isn't he in the courtyard?"
After hearing this, Ren Dong, who was still in shock, rubbed her chest and said, "Young Madam is over at the lotus pond. She has been digging dolls these past two days. Young Madam likes to watch, so she sat there alone for half a day."
Qin Qingdong: …
"What's so good about the lotus pond? It's just withered lotus leaves now. If you dig up the lotus roots, the smell is unbearable."
Honeysuckle covered her mouth and laughed, "I know, but I can't persuade the young lady."
Song Guanzhou went out for a stroll at noon and saw a group of men digging lotus roots in the lotus pond. Liu Er and the servants in the mansion were working busily. On the shore, he saw the fairy-like Fourth Young Master's wife, pointing at the broken lotus root in his hand and stomping her feet.
"Why is it broken? It doesn't taste good like this!"
Liu Er was stunned for a moment. Song Guanzhou gestured to them and told them to dig along the direction of the lotus roots. "It's snowing in winter. It would be great to have lotus roots and bone soup as a dip. Hurry and dig well."
"Madam, there are quite a lot of lotus roots in this pond this year. The masters in the mansion don't like to eat them, and they usually can't eat much."
That's why everyone is too lazy to take the time and just turn it over once, so that the lotus will grow better next year.
Song Guanzhou shook his head repeatedly, "I love to eat it, and what's more, the ones you dig are of better quality. You can send some to other mansions, so you won't have to worry about food."
After hearing this, Liu Er had no choice but to explain things to everyone.
But Song Guanzhou inexplicably felt that digging for a doll was a very stress-relieving thing, so she simply asked the maids to bring chairs and low tables and watched from the side.
Later on, the interest grew.
"Why don't I come down and dig with you? I feel bad seeing Bie Ge always digging his pieces." Liu Er and the servants refused one after another, "Madam, you can't do that. This mud pond is so dirty."
Dirty?
Song Guanzhou squatted by the pool and said with a smile, "As long as there are no ghosts, I'm not afraid."
Seeing that she was eager to try, Hehua hurried back to call Rendong and cousin, and persuaded Song Guanzhou for a long time before he gave up the idea, "People, if you deal with the mud more often and get in touch with the ground, you will get sick less often."
She felt very sorry and sat cross-legged on the shore with a look of loss in her eyes.
Liu Er quickly advised, "You can't do that, Madam. The water in the mud pond is still warm, but the mud below is cold, and there are some insects and ants. Madam, you are a delicate person, you can't come here."
"Any fish?"
"Don't worry, Madam. There will definitely be some. If there are any big ones, the small ones will be brought to you later. You can ask the honeysuckle sisters to make a soup. It will be delicious."
Song Guanzhou finally gave up, but he still watched them for the whole afternoon.
It was not until Ren Dong came to say that Qin Qingdong was coming that they helped the deity away. The servants who were standing in the mud with their trouser legs rolled up breathed a sigh of relief, "Second Brother Liu, our young mistress is also strange. She doesn't want to see the good things, but just loves this lotus root joke."
Someone else came up and said, "If it weren't for my second brother and her maid stopping us, I think the young lady would really want to come down and play."
"That's impossible. Apart from other things, you see that the Fourth Young Master is very concerned about her. If she really sprains her ankle in the mud, how can I explain it? Not to mention that Uncle Hai is not here, I'm afraid he will break my leg when he comes back."
Liu Er continued to dig lotus roots, but he was more careful with his hands.
"Brother, don't underestimate the Fourth Young Lady. If there is anyone in our house who is the most courageous, it is our delicate Young Lady. Don't forget, the Young Lady killed two thieves!"
"Yes! How could you forget about this?"
Liu Er wanted to stop them, but when he heard this, he remembered that the young lady had also been carried over from Jianshui Room.
"And that waterfall. When I went with Brother Liu and Uncle Hai to search for the young lady, I was scared out of my wits when I saw the waterfall. It was several feet high, and the water was rushing fast. Wow!"
Song Guanzhou left the pond, but this lotus pond still has its own legend.
Back at Shaohua Garden, Qin Qingdong was surrounded by three more people. The short spinning top was Chun Ge, and two good-looking girls in their twenties stood beside him. As soon as Song Guanzhou came up, Qin Qingdong pointed at her and the two girls and said, "This is Song Guanzhou. I'll have to trouble you two sisters to look after her tomorrow. She has a lively temper and a sharp tongue. If she gets into a conflict with Jin Fuyun, you two must stop them."
what?
Song Guanzhou glared angrily, "Qin Er, what did you say?!"
The two girls had come up to her and knelt down to greet her, "Yuyan/Jindie greet the young lady."
"Get up quickly. Don't listen to what Qin Erhun said. I have a kind personality. It's just that the two girls..." When Qin Qingdong wanted to ask where they came from, he said bluntly, "The other two maids I said I would give you are on the way. It won't work if you only have Lotus by your side at the banquet tomorrow. I borrowed them from the East Palace."
East Palace?
The person next to the Crown Princess?
Song Guanzhou had a complicated expression. When he looked at Yuyan and Jindie again, he felt very sorry. "You two girls must have special skills. It would be a shame for you to come to me even for one day..."
Coming from the palace, one's etiquette is impeccable. But when I first came into this world, I suffered a loss in etiquette.
Will it be...
