The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 344

The evening banquet was held in Shaohua Garden, where the grape racks and rose branches were lush and green. An awning was set up underneath and tables and chairs were placed there.

After Pei Jian gave the order, the chef naturally worked more attentively.

There were two tables filled with cold dishes, hot dishes, meat dishes and snacks.

Song Guanzhou was the happiest and pestered Pei Hai, "Uncle Hai, my father must have some good wine hidden away. Please go and steal a pot of it."

Pei Hai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and tried to shirk the responsibility several times.

"My young lady, it's not that the master is stingy with a few bottles of wine, but you are injured now, and Doctor Zhao has repeatedly told you not to drink."

Pei Chen brought Qiao'er, who was dressed in her best clothes, to the banquet. Song Guanzhou looked over and snorted, "Second brother, are you slapping my second sister-in-law in the face?"

She didn't like Xiao Yinxiu, but that didn't mean she had to flatter Pei Chen's aunt.

Pei Chen saw this and walked up to her and said gently, "Qiao'er is good at playing the zither. I know you like these, so I brought them here to help you have fun."

"Rosewood, send Aunt Qiao back carefully. She is pregnant and still comes to play the zither. Second brother thinks I am so arrogant. He must have misunderstood me."

She had a faint smile on her face, but her expression did not allow for rejection.

Pei Chen wanted to speak, but Song Guanzhou, who was lying on the recliner, held Qingfang's hand and sat up straight, "Second brother, you are a man after all, you can't bully a pregnant woman like this."

"…It's just playing the zither, it's not a problem."

Pei Chen gave a fake smile, and Song Guanzhou snorted, "Ren Dong, what are you still standing there for? Send her to my aunt's room in one piece. If you sprain your ankle on the way, I will not forgive you."

She has a pretty face, but her tone is very domineering and cold.

Rendong quickly agreed, and took Qingfei and Hehua with them. Some of them took the zither for Aunt Qiao, some lifted her skirt, and some supported her arms. Before Qiao'er could see what Shaohua Garden looked like, she was half-forced out.

When you get to the gate of the courtyard, you will meet Aunt Chu.

Honeysuckle greeted them. Aunt Chu frowned and looked at Aunt Qiao, "What's the matter? Why do you have to send Aunt back?"

"Auntie has a good temper. She said she wanted to play the zither and compose music at the family banquet. My young mistress couldn't bear to see her working so hard even though she was pregnant, so she asked us to send her back." Turning around, he warned Auntie Qiao, who was full of shyness, "Auntie, the pregnancy is not obvious now, but you must not work too hard and take care of yourself."

After giving the instructions, Aunt Qiao blushed and said thank you to her sister, then lowered her head and led the little maid into the courtyard.

Rendong turned around, nodded to Aunt Chu, and led the two maids back to Shaohua Garden.

Aunt Chu took a look, then looked at the prince's wife who was still angry in the main room, sighed, lowered her head and went to the kitchen.

This small banquet was absent from the Crown Prince's wife, Xiao Yinxiu.

And the fourth son of the Pei family, Pei An.

Pei Jiancai had just entered the room when he heard A'lu reporting to Song Guanzhou and Qi Yueniang, "The Fourth Young Master left early today, so I didn't catch up with him. I only heard from Chun Ge that after the shift, our Fourth Young Master was called by the Second Young Master of the Qin Family to have a drink..."

Qi Yueniang frowned slightly, "You should have gone and told your master earlier."

A'lu looked like he had done something wrong, saying that he was delayed on the way and had not seen the Fourth Young Master. "I did ask Chun Ge, and he said that Lord Lin was with him, so I didn't dare to rush in."

Pei Jian walked in leisurely with his hands behind his back. Except for Song Guanzhou, everyone stood up to greet him. Pei Jian asked everyone to sit down, "It's okay if he's not here. It's a farewell banquet for Ling Bai and Xiao Bei. He has official business to attend to, so you brothers don't have to worry about this meal in the future."

The two of them responded but they didn't dare.

A few boys outside came back from school. The originally quiet courtyard became even more lively after a few little monkeys jumped in.

It seemed as if all the interesting things that happened during the day had to be shown off to Song Guanzhou.

Song Guanzhou chatted and laughed with the children on the surface, but an idea came to her mind. While the dishes were being served and the seats were being arranged, she asked Rendong and the others to help her into the inner room.

I took out a few copies of the autobiographical books left by my father, which I had recently cleaned up, and planned to give them to my two cousins.

"Mrs. Meng, go with Qingfang to Qianweizhai and see if there are any of the fish balls and candies I love to eat. If there are, weigh two pounds of them. If not, you can pick some up for me."

Honeysuckle whispered, "Young Madam, are you going now?"

Song Guanzhou pointed at the sky outside and said, "It's the right time. Just go and come back quickly. By the way..." She changed the subject and said, "Let's see if the eldest daughter of the Jin family has gone out today?"

That's it!

Mrs. Meng and Qingfang obeyed the order at the same time. Rendong stopped the two who were about to leave and said, "Change your clothes. The gray-blue vests you two are very dazzling. Go to my closet and pick out two ordinary clothes. Be careful not to involve the mansion."

"Yes!"

After the two left, Song Guanzhou limped out again, supporting Honeysuckle Lotus, and presented four manuscripts with both hands. Xiao Bei and Xu Lingbai were both book lovers, and they were overjoyed just by looking at the titles of the books.

"My two cousins, I have won the first battle. I don't have anything else to show you except the books left by my father. They are all unique copies, and as a daughter, I cannot give them away without permission. Now I have asked Jindong to copy them out. I hope you two brothers will not dislike them."

"Guan Zhou is too polite. Such a precious book is worth more than a thousand gold coins."

Xiao Bei flipped through a few pages and couldn't put it down. "...Good book! It's really a good book! I heard there is such a book, but I couldn't find it even if I searched all over Jiangzhou. When I came to the capital, I asked my classmates and friends to find it from time to time. I never thought it was here in Guanzhou."

Song Guanzhou smiled and said, "My father left behind many books, but I have been busy with many trivial matters in the past few months, and I have often sorted them out halfway and put them aside. My legs and feet have been inconvenient these days, so I picked them up again. I will sort them out into a catalogue and report them to my father to see how to deal with them..."

"Disposal? What does Guan Zhou have in mind?"

Pei Jian put down the teacup and looked over meaningfully. Song Guanzhou pointed back to the study and said, "Father, the brilliant crystallization of our ancestors' thoughts should not be hidden in this humble room."

Pei Jian laughed dumbly, "These are books that are worth a fortune out there."

Song Guanzhou certainly knew that in this era, books were not like they are today, where one could easily buy an electronic version online for a few dollars, or a pirated book. Even if it was an authentic version, it would only cost a few dollars more.

The knowledge is complex, but it comes without any effort.

This era is completely the opposite.

Song Guanzhou also had a headache. He held his forehead and smiled bitterly, "So I have to clean it up quickly and ask my father to take a look and see which ones can be loaned out and which ones can be copied. Or I can ask the government to see if they can be collected and republished..."

After these words were spoken, not only did the women hardly understand what they heard, but even Pei Chen, Xu Lingbai and the other gentlemen were all surprised.

These are all priceless treasures.

Pei Jian understood and smiled sincerely, "You are sincere, and I know it. Well, let's sort it out first. If you really can't make up your mind, just ask Lord Jiang to come over."

Jiang Buzhi, the Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy, is he the director of the National Library?
