Chapter 251
Chapter 251
Song Guanzhou watched Pei An fanning her earnestly, and thought that this handsome and handsome Fourth Young Master actually had no children!
Oh yo!
Poor little thing——
Pei An couldn't ignore her blatant pity, "Madam, why are you spying on me like this?"
Song Guanzhou suppressed his pity and softened his voice.
"Silang, what will you do if I really can't give birth?" In fact, if this girl was really beheaded, Jin Fuyun would not be able to give birth either.
this--
Pei An thought it was a servant who let the cat out of the bag, causing Song Guanzhou to become suspicious. Knowing his own health problems, he couldn't help but be shocked, and then said seriously, "Why can't you have children? You're so young, just take care of them a little longer. Children and parents are also a matter of fate. If it's really my destiny to have no children, then you and I can live together. If you want, you can adopt a child from outside."
Seeing Pei An so serious, Song Guanzhou almost believed it.
She covered her mouth and laughed, "Silang, are you really not thinking of abandoning the mother and keeping the son, raising a concubine's son as a legitimate child?"
Pei An shook his head.
"No! The love between mother and son is so deep, why do such a sin? My biological mother sent me to the concubine's room when I was young, and I know the difficulties of the legitimate and illegitimate children in this house. Why do it?" Yes, Pei Che went far away and disappeared without a trace. He rose to the top and had a bright future.
The two were once brothers who slept side by side, but their lives are very different.
No matter who caused it, it seems that everyone is the sinner, including his father, mother... But the world is not black and white. The complexity of household chores is more difficult than answering questions in the imperial examinations.
A quiet backyard is Pei An's only expectation for marriage deep in his heart.
Song Guanzhou chuckled and tapped Pei An's forehead, "I'll take it to heart. If you have second thoughts in the future, I'll see what you do." This book, this life, is becoming more and more interesting.
The couple's casual chat caught the eyes of Xu Lingbai, who had finally escaped from the sea of books.
He was a little embarrassed and hurriedly lowered his head and turned sideways. It was Rendong who came out from the small kitchen and saw it. She helped him out and said, "My cousin is hungry. Why don't you go to the fourth master and I will serve you some hot food."
Xu Lingbai waved his hands repeatedly, "I was full after eating the snacks, but I was confused and didn't see it at this time."
Honeysuckle smiled and said, "My cousin, you don't have to be polite. I was going to invite you to dinner, but the young lady said that you were tired recently and it would be much better if you had something to immerse yourself in. She also asked us not to disturb you. However, there is hot food in the kitchen, and I will bring it to you right away."
The two's actions naturally attracted the attention of Pei An and Song Guanzhou.
Pei An stood up and said, "Don't be polite, cousin. It's like being at home here. Let Rendong serve the food. It's hot in summer, so why not put it under the rose stand?"
Lianhua Hehua was quick and agile. After hearing what the Fourth Young Master said, she immediately carried the Eight Immortals Table out of the house. Xu Lingbai came up to it, her face slightly red, but she still sat down without hesitation.
"I'm sorry to have made you laugh. The books my uncle left behind were so interesting that I forgot everything."
"Cousin, after you take the exam, if you want to see it, just come and see it."
Song Guanzhou personally poured tea for Xu Lingbai, and Xu Lingbai quickly thanked him. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "I came to look for my cousin this afternoon. I wanted to tell her that I wanted to go back to Aiqi Town—"
"Just ask my cousin to watch the boat. I want to go back, but did you forget something?"
Xu Lingbai looked at Pei An and his wife and sighed, "I didn't forget anything. Guan Zhou, you sent your men to pack everything up. But my uncle passed away suddenly, so I was thinking of going to kowtow and offer a cup of sake."
Song Guanzhou was about to speak when Pei An calmly held her down.
"My cousin, your filial piety is admirable, but now that the imperial examination is approaching, it would be better for you to put it aside for a few days and go after the exam."
Xu Lingbai nodded slightly.
"Ling Qiao has disappeared, but I dreamed of my uncle last night. He was covered in blood and his eyes were filled with tears. I know he had no bad intentions towards my brother and me. If we had not gone to live with our relatives, I'm afraid we wouldn't have died by now..." When he said this, his mood became depressed, and Song Guanzhou snorted, "His death has nothing to do with you and your cousin. If you married such an evil woman, it doesn't mean you and your sister would not have gone to live with your relatives. You still can't avoid other disasters in the future."
Song Guanzhou scoffed at the suggestion that the victim was guilty.
"He doesn't know people well? I'm afraid that's not the case! It's his fault for allowing the evil woman to have such evil intentions towards my cousin."
Xu Lingbai was slightly stunned. He knew this, but he never blamed his uncle. But in his cousin's eyes, it was only a matter of time. Pei An said, "Now that things have come to this, you don't have to worry too much. Now you should focus on the imperial examination. As for your cousin, Guanzhou and I are still asking people to look for her. Brother Linshan, who is with my father, has also been traveling a lot these days."
Xu Lingbai nodded, swallowed his thoughts about his uncle and worries about his sister, and picked up the bowl to eat.
Fearing that he might feel a little restrained, Ren Dong deliberately placed Pei An and Song Guanzhou's bowls and chopsticks so that they could accompany him. Several maids also lit two lamps not far away and lit wormwood to drive away mosquitoes.
Speaking of which, this summer night is also pleasant.
"Huh, when will the competition you mentioned come?"
The angry voice was obvious to everyone, and when Lianhua went to greet him, she saw Xiao Cang supporting Mu Er, followed by the two brothers Xiao Du and Xiao Bei. Xiao Du was not polite, and knocked on the fifth brother's shoulder with a fan, "What a jerk! You are even more rude! Go back and kneel down." As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Cang trotted past the maid and came to Song Guanzhou, frowning and asking condescendingly:
"Do you want to compete? Are you scared?"
The maids welcomed Xiao Du and Xiao Bei in, and brought stools and chairs. The three of them sat down, and Xiao Bei said, "Don't pay attention to him, my eldest brother has been keeping him away from going out for the past few days, otherwise he would have come to bother you a long time ago."
Xiao Cang disagreed, "Tell me, could it be that you were just teasing me that day?"
Song Guanzhou saw that his face was full of anxiety, his eyes narrowed, staring at him, motionless, like a competitive child!
"Why, is this urgent?"
Xiao Cang stamped his feet, "Of course I'm anxious, just ask my eldest brother, we will go back to Jiangzhou in a few days--" Competition is the biggest thing in Xiao Cang's mind now. He saw Song Guanzhou's ability that day, and the five elders fought so skillfully, they must be extraordinary people.
What's more, Song Guanzhou could understand the meaning of the various types of mathematics he proposed.
If a woman had such ability, Xiao Cang would definitely compete with her. The emperor's birthday was celebrated some time ago, and now it's over, so he came to ask for a date for the competition.
Fortunately, Xu Lingbai finished his meal in a few bites. He was a little confused, but he didn't dare to ask too much. He just listened and thought that if the Xiao family bullied Song Guanzhou, he would have to stand in front of them.
"It's been a while, and I haven't practiced the abacus yet."
Song Guanzhou deliberately teased Xiao Cang, but in fact Xu Lingqiao had been missing and she was very worried.
