Diewu and Dieyi had to spend a lot of time persuading Song Guanzhou to give up.
"I'm not saying I'm going to force you to find a husband and get married today, I'm just telling you in advance, if you find someone you like, don't delay."
After talking to the two maids, Song Guanzhou waved his cocoon fan and looked at Mrs. Meng and Zhuang Gu.
"Young Madam, please don't worry about us. At this age, how can you still think about getting married again——"
What's more, if we repeat the same mistakes, I'm afraid the situation will be worse than it is now.
Both of them are miserable people. They were betrayed and harmed by the men in front of them, and they were cheated for most of their lives. They shed tears and blood whenever they talk about it.
"If there is anyone you like in your house, don't hesitate to tell me. If you are too embarrassed to tell me, you can tell Honeysuckle."
"Young Madam, please don't worry about it."
Zhuang Gu smiled naively, "To be honest, serving you, Madam, is much more comfortable than being married. Even though I am so dumb, I have never been despised by the sisters in Shaohua Garden. Instead, we are all in harmony. Besides, you and the Fourth Young Master are smart and wise, and can distinguish right from wrong. If others don't know, they would think I am a guest here."
As soon as these words came out, a group of women nodded in agreement.
Lotus pointed in the direction of the prince's gatehouse and whispered, "Young Madam, you don't know that among all the servants and maids in this mansion, they envy Shaohua Garden the most. Not to mention the unity inside and outside, even to serve you and the fourth young master, many maids want to squeeze into Shaohua Garden."
Song Guanzhou burst into laughter and then waved his hands.
"That's because you are content with what you have."
If it were a maid with a purpose, thinking of coming in to become Pei An's concubine, or those with ulterior motives, plotting against their master, how could they be harmonious?
Lotus grinned and said, "The Fourth Young Master and the Young Madam are good friends and have never humiliated lowly people like me."
She spoke bluntly, making everyone laugh.
Honeysuckle poked her forehead and said, "A master like this is rare. You should be careful with your mouth and don't cause trouble outside."
Lotus stood up and knelt down to salute Honeysuckle, "Sister, I will follow Sister Winter's instructions."
Honeysuckle couldn't help herself any longer, so she pulled her up and gave her a light slap on the shoulder, "You idiot girl, if that's the case, then I was the one who said too much."
Lotus shook her head repeatedly, "Of course I'm not being nosy."
He turned around and reported to Song Guanzhou, "Young Madam, it is thanks to Sister Dong's constant reminders that the young servants would feel proud after hearing the flattery from the maids and old women outside, and would inevitably lose their sense of propriety at times."
"Sister Dong'er is smart. Not only should you listen to her, but I, too, rely on her for everything, big or small, both inside and outside the house."
Song Guanzhou said sincerely, and Rendong quickly stood up and poured tea and water for the young lady.
"My dear young lady, please don't flatter me like this. I am not that great. These are just trivial matters."
only--
She paused for a moment before saying, "The maids and servants in front of the Crown Prince's wife have a hard time. They all want to leave, but the Crown Prince's wife won't let them go. Sometimes they think that Shao Huayuan is doing something bad, so I don't have a good plan to save both sides. I can only say a few more words to sisters, be careful."
"That's fine. Now there are only Silang and I in Shaohua Garden, and the rough and heavy work will be shared by you guys. It's hard work, but we all know each other well. So my sister-in-law asked me many times to add two more maids for me, but I refused."
Even if Qin Er sent Diewu and Dieyi, in the mansion, apart from the unmarried Pei Qiuyu, the fewest servants were the maids and old women in Shaohua Garden.
In the past, Xiao Yinxiu, the housekeeper, was mostly indifferent to Shaohua Garden.
Now Qi Yueniang is the head of the household, and she has seen it all, feeling both amused and helpless. "In other families' courtyards, there are more than a dozen maids of first, second, and third rank, and if you add the wives and mothers-in-law, there are at least thirty or fifty of them. But here, you can only count them with two hands, this is unacceptable."
"Sister-in-law, don't worry about me. You know I don't care about rules and etiquette. Now there are so many people here, and with the help of Honeysuckle, otherwise I wouldn't care. I'm afraid Shaohua Garden will be a mess."
Song Guanzhou politely declined Qi Yueniang and now shared his true feelings with everyone.
"Everyone should work harder, don't compete with others and show off, just live your own life. But marriage is a big deal, don't hide it in your heart. If you meet someone who is trying to introduce you to someone, you should think about it and don't refuse it right away."
About half an hour later, Song Guanzhou almost arranged the match himself.
The frightened maids coaxed her to go inside and rest. Rendong also stole the two notebooks that Pei An had taken away and returned them to Song Guanzhou.
Only after he got the book did Song Guanzhou forgive them.
good good!
I'm not afraid of my master's cold attitude, but I'm afraid of his sudden concern.
Zhuang Gu and Meng Sao looked at Ren Dong, and Ren Dong smiled and said, "Before you came, the young lady had been urging us for quite some time."
Die Wu covered her mouth and smiled, "I'm afraid the young lady is too free today."
Honeysuckle glanced at the sky which was about to get dark, "Since the Fourth Young Master is not coming back today, I will keep watch for the Young Madam tonight. You all go and have some rest."
After finishing the affairs inside and outside the house, Rendong went into the inner room.
Song Guanzhou leaned on the kang bed, reading a storybook with great interest by candlelight.
Hearing Jindong coming in, she looked up and said, "Why don't you go and rest? I don't have anything to do."
"Madam, since the Fourth Young Master is not coming back today, I will be the one keeping watch for you."
Night Watch
Song Guanzhou waved his hand, "I am not afraid of these, I prefer to sleep alone. I will finish reading this book, then put out the candle and go to bed. It's a relief that Silang is not coming back, you can relax for a day, go now."
Looking at Song Guanzhou like this, Rendong seemed to be hesitant to speak.
After a while, Song Guanzhou saw that she was still standing in front of him blankly, so he closed the book and asked, "Ren Dong, what did you want to tell me?"
Ren Dong sighed, "Young Madam, what I said may be a bit beyond the rules, but seeing you and the Fourth Young Master being so cold and indifferent, I am also anxious."
"this--"
Song Guanzhou smiled faintly, "Si Lang and I..., nothing to do."
Honeysuckle shook her head, "How can there be nothing? I am a discerning person, Madam, and I am not on the side of the Fourth Young Master. When you were sick, the Fourth Young Master wanted to treat you with his own life, and now that things are going wrong, you are such a smart and generous person, so you can say something soft to the Fourth Young Master, and we won't suffer any loss."
Soft words?
Song Guanzhou wailed in his heart, I don’t want to fall in love with a man who will send me to hell in the future!
Although--
Pei An treated her quite well. Except for a few times of concealing things, a few times of defending his enemy Jin Fuyun, and a few times of vague attempts to smooth things over, he was indeed the most reliable man Song Guanzhou had met in two lifetimes.
But so what?
