The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 281

Fortunately, the house is large and located at the end of the corridor, and there are no separate guest rooms opposite or next to it, otherwise the couple would be in trouble. Song Guanzhou knew that this wooden house had no sound insulation.

Lotus knocked lightly on the door. Song Guanzhou flicked her skirt and stood up from Pei An. "Come in, bring me some cold water to wash my face."

Lianhua nodded and fetched up some clean well water.

"Young Madam, I'm afraid it's a little cold."

"It's better to be cool."

Her face was rosy and her eyes were full of spring. How could she meet people? Besides, Xu Lingqiao and Hua Chonglou were both unmarried women.

Song Guanzhou washed herself clean with cold water. Pei An stood by her side, smiling and silent. After she washed and dried herself, he also wiped his face with her face wash water. Lianhua whispered beside her, "My cousin has finished washing up. Miss Hua is in her room now. Can I invite her over?"

In the entire inn, only the place where Song Guanzhou stayed was spacious.

Pei An made the decision, "Please invite the two girls over. The first floor is full of vagrants, which will definitely offend your young lady. It's much cheaper to eat in this room."

Lotus took the order and left.

Aru came downstairs again and said through the screen that the meat was ready.

"...Why so fast, you fat sheep?"

Alu replied, "Fourth Master, it's just an ordinary black goat. The shopkeeper slaughtered it this morning. I and Brother Liu took a look and found the meat to be quite good. As it was getting late, we weighed it and started cooking it. It's ready now."

Pei An saw Song Guanzhou putting on her makeup and directly called Alu in.

"Send someone to tell the shopkeeper to add a set of dining tables in this room. If there is good wine, bring a jug of it." After everything was arranged, Alu and Liu Er were told to entertain the subordinates. "Set up two tables in the guest hall. Don't treat Miss Hua's people badly."

A'lu agreed repeatedly, "Don't worry, Fourth Master. We have already planned it out. Thanks to you and the young lady, everyone will have a good meal today."

She went downstairs with a happy face and told Liu Er Zhuanggu. Granny Hua, who had been asked by Hua Chonglou, also came downstairs to help. Zhuanggu pulled Granny Hua aside and asked in a low voice, "Besides the master, are there any other servants and maids on Granny's side?"

Granny Hua shook her head. "I am the only one serving the young lady. She is always traveling around the country. I am an old woman with good legs and can keep up with her."

Zhuang Gu said, "That's perfect. There's no need for me, the three servants, to prepare a separate meal. We can just serve the masters until they finish eating, and then we can eat later." Granny Hua certainly agreed and started busying around. Zhuang Gu personally took charge of the cooking and made several dishes that the Fourth Young Master and the Young Madam liked.

Hua Pozi and Lianhua helped, and soon they brought a food box from the mansion, filled with four or five side dishes made by Zhuang Gu.

There were stir-fried wormwood, which was green and juicy, as well as bacon and egg custard, and some common side dishes, fried food like dried peanuts. Granny Hua looked at them and thought to herself, this is indeed a wealthy family, as these common side dishes are cooked in a way that makes people salivate and look delicious.

"My young lady asked me to make bird's nest, spring bamboo shoots, and Yutian honey porridge this afternoon. I haven't eaten it yet, so it's still warm. If the young lady doesn't mind, I'll serve it to the masters."

This was also what Hua Chonglou asked Granny Hua to cook because he saw that Xu Lingqiao couldn't eat.

"Yes, it's hot today, and my young mistress prefers porridge and rice."

The innkeeper's wife saw this and knew that it was a nobleman staying here, so she had to serve him carefully. When she heard that there was porridge, she recommended herself, "Sister, our pickled spicy feet are also crispy and delicious. If you don't mind, you can try it."

After saying that, he picked up a blue and white plate and scooped a portion.

"It's made with fresh mustard greens from spring and summer. I put ginger, pepper, mustard greens, dogwood, onions and garlic in it. I don't like leeks to take away the flavor, so I didn't put them in."

Zhuanggu looked at it. Although it was not as exquisite as the homemade ones at home, it looked appetizing.

"Thank you, Madam Shopkeeper."

Upstairs, A'lu asked the waiter to bring up an eight-person table and four chairs. Knowing that this was a wealthy family, the waiter was sweet and said to A'lu, "Brother, this window can be opened, and covered with a veil so that mosquitoes can't get in. Today is the fourteenth day, so it's a good time to enjoy the moon."

Upon hearing this, A'lu and the waiter pushed open the window frame, which was so wide that a man could stretch his arm. The sound of frogs croaking could be heard outside. Looking up slightly, he saw large, round cassia branches hanging in the west, which matched the agarwood on the high table in the distance and was very elegant.

Everything was arranged, and Song Guanzhou went to Xu Lingqiao's room in person to invite the two of them.

Xu Lingqiao had never met Pei An before, but she knew that he was a nobleman from a wealthy family. Not only was he rich, but he was also very knowledgeable. She was afraid that she might do something wrong or say something wrong and bring trouble to her cousin.

Hua Chonglou was considerate. He knew that Xu Lingqiao was kind-hearted and had just arrived in the capital, so she was inevitably a little restrained. He held her arm all the time and encouraged her with a smile. The two of them followed Song Guanzhou into the house. Pei An was already standing by the door, wearing an official uniform and standing tall. His black hair was tied up on top of his head. He had taken off his crown, which was only secured with a jade hairpin.

The official uniform was a dark green round-necked brocade robe embroidered with rhinoceros patterns, a jade belt around the waist, and expensive black boots on the feet.

At this moment, he stood tall and straight like a green pine, with a jade-like face and eyebrows as red as ink paintings, exuding indescribable elegance and charm.

Seeing the three people coming, Pei An bowed first and said, "Pei Si greets my cousin and Miss Hua. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. Please don't take it to heart."

Xu Lingqiao just glanced at it and lowered her eyebrows.

In the past, I only said that my eldest brother had an unparalleled temperament, and the young man that night was also handsome and domineering. Now, looking at my cousin's husband again, I just feel that after all, it is the capital city, where there are many talented people.

My elder brother can't compare to her in terms of talent and appearance.

Xu Lingqiao and Hua Chonglou both knelt down and saluted, "Fourth Master, your words are too serious. I dare not take them seriously. Lingqiao has caused you a lot of trouble."

"That's not right, cousin. Now that our family is finally together, please don't be polite. Just call me Ji Zhang or brother-in-law."

Seeing the three people being embarrassed, Song Guanzhou smiled and said, "Forget it, forget it. Hurry up and take a seat. You are not hungry, but I am." She greeted Hua Chonglou and Xu Lingqiao, "They are all people of the same age. I have never been with them before. After a long time, you will naturally know that family members do not need those false formalities."

When they arrived at the Eight Immortals Table, Song Guanzhou wanted to give way to the others, but she sighed, "My husband, two sisters, please have pity on me. I ate less at lunch, and now I really can't stand it any longer." She spoke mischievously and had a cute expression, which made the three of them laugh. Seeing this, Pei An invited Hua Chonglou and Xu Lingqiao to sit down.

At this moment, Zhuanggu also brought the last food box. When it was opened, the fresh smell of lamb wafted into the air.

Song Guanzhou's eyes lit up instantly, "I haven't eaten this mutton for quite some time, two sisters, you're welcome." She loved spicy food in her previous life, and she couldn't change it in this life. Fortunately, this was a fictional novel, and the peppers were already in existence. Song Guanzhou asked Lianhua to get some mint dipping sauce, and Pei An held his forehead, "Eat less spicy food, do you want to keep your stomach?"

The concern is beyond words.

Xu Lingqiao saw it all and kept it in mind. She realized that her cousin was so loved by her husband.

She felt relieved...
