Mu Yunzhi's eyes lit up with envy when she heard this. "I've heard that you two are very loving and affectionate, and others are envious of you. Now it seems that the rumors are true. You are really deeply in love."
"Si Lang treats me very well, but I treat him sincerely. I don't deserve your envy. When your sister and cousin get married in the future, it will be much better than my marriage. Besides, your sister is very talented, and she will be as good as San Lang, a young talent. They will definitely be in harmony with each other."
Mu Yunzhi sighed almost inaudibly when she heard this.
But she didn't show it on her face, and shook her head, "Sister Guanzhou, you don't know, I have never seen anyone as beautiful as you in this world; and the Fourth Master, he is elegant and refined, but he always thinks about you. For this reason, there are probably no other men in the world who can compare to him. You and your wife are so in love with each other, which is rare in the world."
Song Guanzhou waved his hands repeatedly.
"Sister Yunzhi, what couple doesn't quarrel? When my husband and I quarrel, we often stop communicating for half a year."
More than half a year?
Mu Yunzhi was a little surprised when she heard this. Seeing how Pei An treated his wife so seriously, how could it be the case that he would ignore her for half a year?
"Sister, you are joking. I think the Fourth Young Master is reluctant to part with it."
"I'm willing to give it up. What in this world is there to be reluctant to give up? Besides, there is no taboo when quarreling. Husband and wife are close, but they also know which words touch the heart. When quarreling, they will say everything at once. Even if he and I are nice to outsiders, we will still be disgusted with each other."
When Mu Yunzhi heard this, she thought it was just a humble remark.
She thought of her cousin who already had someone else in his heart, and felt that this was the only way her life would be. If her cousin had pity on her and given her a boy or a girl, it would probably be over like this.
Song Guanzhou drank the sobering soup and guzzled two cups of tea brewed by Mu Yunzhi.
She turned her head and yawned, then leaned softly on Mu Yunzhi's shoulder, "Please, sister, take me to sleep for a while." Hearing this soft and coquettish voice, Mu Yunzhi, as a woman, softened her heart.
"Okay, Sister Guanzhou, please follow me."
Jindie Yuyan and Zhulan worked together to remove Song Guanzhou's hairpin. He took off his luxurious clothes and put on a white long skirt. He lay down directly on the soft bed in Mu Yunzhi's boudoir and fell into a deep sleep soon.
Mu Yunzhi: ...Are you so reluctant to admit your bed?
Jindie Yuyan: ...Isn't this young lady shy at all?
Zhulan: ...more free than my girl!
Mu Yunzhi personally untied the silk curtains and drove away the flies before closing them. Jin Die stood up and whispered to Mu Yunzhi, "I'm sorry to have troubled you today."
"Miss Jindie, what are you talking about? It's just that Miss Guanzhou doesn't mind that my place is shabby."
The four of them were afraid of disturbing Song Guanzhou, so they followed Zhulan out of the inner room. As the sun was shining, Mu Yunzhi simply took the three of them back to the pavilion. "This place is close to the inner room. If Sister Guanzhou wants to order someone around, she can hear him just by shouting."
Yuyan wanted to stay inside, but before Song Guanzhou went to sleep, he sent a few people to "leave one person to sit outside the room, and Sister Yunzhi can go to watch the show."
After going outside, Jin Die felt that it would be bad to delay Mu Yunzhi. She thought that there were maids in the house, so she might as well ask Zhulan to serve her while she continued to watch the show.
"It's okay. I don't like the script that much. But I've received quite a few guests this morning and I'm a little tired. I'll take a rest with your young lady and I'll take a break too."
After saying this, he asked everyone to sit down and told Zhulan to bring needle and thread. The master and servant sat around the tea table, drinking tea and doing needlework, which was quite pleasant.
When the sun rises at noon, the stage becomes bustling with activity.
It was the Eight Immortals celebrating the birthday, and then there was the Immortal Official bestowing blessings. There was one wonderful show after another. Zhu Baoyue was also waiting. She was taken into the Huang Mansion after lunch, and was to perform some singing and playing with the entertainers from several other buildings.
Qin Qingdong knew she was coming, so he sent Alu and Chun Ge to come over and serve her.
Zhu Baoyue was dressed up and sitting in a room with a few entertainers. They were chatting and laughing when Wan'er came in and reported, "Miss, Brother Alu and Brother Chun are outside asking to see you."
"Invite them in."
Wan'er agreed, and after she left, the other courtesans were envious, "After all, it's Miss Baoyue. There is no wealthy mansion in the capital that you don't know. When you come to the Huang Mansion, there are also acquaintances who come to say hello."
When Zhu Baoyue heard this, she just smiled faintly.
"It's just that I met some kind-hearted gentlemen."
"… But today I heard that the fourth young lady of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is also coming. Will it make things difficult for Sister Baoyue?" This was said by a girl who was not very close to her. She probably said this because she heard that the fourth young lady of the Pei family smashed up the Manyue Tower on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Zhu Baoyue shook her head. "Young Madam is noble and respectable, and has never embarrassed me."
Uh……
The next moment, before Jizi could say anything, Alu and Chunge followed Wan'er in. The two came forward to pay their respects. Chunge spoke quickly, "Miss Baoyue, Erlang sent me here to ask if the girls need anything. If you need me to do anything, just tell me."
Zhu Baoyue replied softly, "Thank you for your concern. The eldest son of the Huang family has made all the arrangements. We sisters will go and sing as soon as Zhang Puluo's family is done resting."
Alu told the truth, "There are still two plays to go. The girls might as well go and watch the plays first."
The courtesans wanted to go, but because of their status, they were afraid of offending the women in the mansion. Now, after hearing what Alu said, they also had an idea, "Excuse me, young man, is it possible?"
They also like to watch the plays performed by Zhang Puluang's family.
But the tickets were not cheap, and everyone could only listen to the sound when each company was on stage. Now I heard Alu say this and asked more questions.
A'lu called the Huang family's maid and sent someone to ask. The maid came back and said that there was an open space on the side for the girls, and there was also a screen blocking the way. It would be a good time for the girls to go over there. After the stage was cleared, it would also be convenient for the girls to go on stage.
Hearing this, the courtesans and the maids all stood up.
Seeing this, Zhu Baoyue bowed to A'lu to thank him, but A'lu quickly moved away and said, "No, young lady, bowing to me will shorten my life span. I don't accept that."
After all the courtesans left, Zhu Baoyue was left last. Seeing that there was no one around, she asked in a low voice, "Is the young lady okay? I also heard the maid outside say that the eldest lady left in anger because she had an argument with the young lady."
"It's okay."
Alu smiled honestly and answered, "The Fourth Young Master has also paid his respects to Prince Yong and told him about this matter. Miss, don't worry. The eldest lady is just feeling unwell and will leave the banquet first. It has nothing to do with our young lady."
If it were in the past, Zhu Baoyue would have just listened.
But now, she heard the horrifying words spoken by Qin Qingdong and Pei An in person from her own servant. She didn't understand why Jin Fuyun had such thoughts, but she was more worried about the young lady.
The young lady has no support from her family and is really being bullied. Who can stand up for her?
