Pei Chen turned around and was about to leave.
Mu Er and Mu San, who were standing beside Xiao Cang, had already saluted and greeted him. When Xiao Cang heard it, he looked over and saw that it was indeed Pei Chen. He was about to stride forward and said, "Second brother, the prince!"
Mu Er and Mu San supported him on both sides and no longer dared to let Xiao Cang go up and down the stairs at random.
Pei Chen saw this and sighed, "...it turns out that you provoked your sister, which made me afraid to enter the door."
Xiao Cang was still frightened. "My eldest sister is very scary now. From a distance, she looks exactly like my eldest aunt. It's really scary."
Xiao Cang's eldest aunt is Pei Chen's mother, but when Pei Chen heard his cousin's words, he did not feel unhappy at all. It was as if they were close friends, and they were sharing their grievances.
"Wulang, you don't know. In the past, when I looked at my mother, I felt like I was looking at your sister. Now when I look at your sister, she looks like my mother. Tsk tsk, you don't know how hard I've been suffering."
The two of them walked out of the courtyard and stood under the wall, talking animatedly.
Xiao Cang suddenly had an idea and grabbed Pei Chen's arm, "Second brother, come with me to the princess's villa tomorrow..."
God of Plague!
Pei Chen quickly took off his skinny chicken claws, "No! It's a big festival, we have to worship our ancestors early in the morning, not to mention that Brother Hua said he would protect his wife, sister-in-law, and sisters when they go out to watch the dragon boat race tomorrow."
The Pei family and the Jin family appear to be fine on the surface, but in reality they are not getting along.
Pei An and Jin Fuyun had private dealings, and the elders in the mansion would have turned a blind eye to it, but he pretended to be the mansion's eldest son and went to their house openly, which was unacceptable.
But who is Xiao Cang?
How many people can stand up to him when he acts like a rogue?
Pei Chen had no choice but to drag him to Nuanfeng Garden and complain to Mrs. Min. Mrs. Min heard that he was working for Song Guanzhou, so she simply called Xiao Du over and said, "It's not appropriate for Erlang to go. You and Cangge'er should go. Guanzhou has no other brothers to support him, so you and Lan Yatou can help him."
Xiao Cang nodded frequently beside him, "That makes sense, and my fourth brother also agreed in Shaohua Garden."
In the evening, when Xiao Du was having dinner with his father and mother, he also mentioned his gratitude to Song Guanzhou. Xiao Hongyun put down his bowl and chopsticks, stroked his beard and sighed, "She is a kind-hearted woman. This world is even more difficult for a daughter-in-law who has no parents, brothers or sisters. As for thanking you, you and your mother can take care of the money and jewelry. But as a father, the most important thing is to take care of her as your sister."
Mrs. Min sighed softly, "Guanzhou follows his heart and doesn't have so many thoughts of comparison. But Xiu'er, today Mu Er, the boy, came to me and said something. Cang Ge'er went over and told her about Guanzhou's fall. Xiu'er always felt that Guanzhou was plotting..."
"presumptuous!"
When Xiao Hongyun heard this, he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. He had a bad temper and could not bear it any longer. "She dared to say that if she wanted to plot something, what could Old Five, who is blind and has a bad temper, plot?"
Xiao Du quickly comforted the two elders and then said, "She is just a bit of a nag. I don't think she has any bad intentions."
"That's because she doesn't have the guts to do that. If you say she was plotting something, why not just plot against her directly? Asshole, you are so petty and suspicious. If it wasn't for - if it wasn't -"
I repeated it twice but couldn't say the rest.
But Mrs. Min and Xiao Du both knew clearly, and they sighed in unison, "Let her be."
Your Majesty, you don't like the prince of the Zhenguo Mansion who brings glory to his family, and the wife of the prince who is good at dealing with people. She is a little stupid, but she is not incapable of survival.
The family of three talked a lot. The next day, Xiao Du and his wife, Xiao Bei and his wife, as well as Xiao Cang and Xu Lingbai, brother and sister, brought valuable gifts and went to the princess's villa with drums and gongs.
It was the Dragon Boat Festival, and as the sun rose in the early morning, people were already coming and going.
The shops along the streets inside and outside the market opened earlier than usual. There were people carrying loads on their shoulders, pushing carts, carrying walnuts and chestnuts on their backs, and calling out, making the place very lively.
The brothers and sisters of the Xiao and Xu families rode horses and drove carriages all the way. The servants carried six loads of heavy gifts, hung with red hydrangeas, and arrived at the princess's villa in a ostentatious manner.
Early in the morning, the teahouse owner heated up the first pot of tea of the day and saw this scene.
Those who were working or passing by stopped and watched Xiao Du and Xu Lingbai get off their horses and hand the visiting card to the princess's gatehouse.
In the inner courtyard, Jin Fuyun got up early.
Just after she finished dressing up, without even standing up from the mirror, Pan Lan led a hunched-backed old woman wrapped in a gray cloth headscarf quietly into the inner courtyard and stood outside the door asking to see her.
Panxi cautiously came to report that since Suohong had died, Jin Fuyun was without a suitable maid for the time being, so he had to send Panxi and Panlan to serve him.
After a show of both kindness and severity, the two men knelt in front of him with tears of gratitude, swore and vowed to serve Jin Fuyun as their ancestor.
Jin Fuyun was not happy, but had to praise the two of them in front of his brother and sister-in-law.
Seeing Pan Xi whispering in her ear, she was very unhappy. When she heard who was coming, she snorted, "So she is from the mansion, why bother with her? Just drive her out. Now I can't even say a word to your old master's family."
Pan Xi whispered, "Miss, you may have forgotten. This is Aunt Tong from the kitchen. It turns out that Uncle Zhu San - no, Uncle Zhu San took care of it."
Jin Fuyun's eyes widened as she said coldly, "She also knows that it's from the kitchen, what is she doing here?"
Pan Xi shook her head. "She didn't say anything. When she mentioned it, the waiter in the shop insulted her. Now she has been kicked out of the mansion. She encountered a strange thing and came to our house eagerly."
How does a woman come in?
When Pan Xi heard Jin Fuyun's question, he thought to himself that it was a good thing that he had asked Aunt Tong a few more questions just now, otherwise he would have been scolded by the eldest girl now.
"She slept in the corner of our kitchen last night. When the shopkeeper opened the door before daybreak, I heard her clamoring to see you."
Jin Fuyun didn't want to see anyone, especially someone who had something to do with Zhu San.
But when she saw Pan Xi, who was lowering her head and looking docile, she snorted coldly, "Send her in." If she ignored them, the two maids in front of her would definitely have some ideas. They all worked for her, and now they were driven out of the mansion. If she didn't care anymore, she was afraid that she would not be able to win their hearts.
Therefore, I felt relieved.
Pan Lan led Aunt Tong in and gave her many instructions along the way. Aunt Tong smiled and said, "Don't worry, big sister. I am a rough man and will only tell the truth to the big girl. I will not offend her."
After entering the inner room, Second Aunt Tong came up to Jin Fuyun, knelt down regardless of anything, and kowtowed to her. She lowered her eyes, staring at the bluestone floor, not daring to look around.
"Get up, is it Second Aunt Tong?"
Aunt Tong said she didn't dare, "Excuse me, my dear lady. My husband's surname is Tong, and I am the second child. You can call me the second child of Tong."
Jin Fuyun took a sip of hot tea and asked calmly, "Go ahead."
Second Aunt Tong stood up tremblingly and stood four or five steps in front of Jin Fuyun, bowing her head and kneeling servilely, "Miss, yesterday morning, the Song family brought a girl back. I happened to see her at the corner gate. She looks like a twin of hers. She seems to be her cousin. She is said to be surnamed Xu."
"--What?"
