Chapter 270
When Song Guanzhou woke up, it was already noon.
Rendong specifically told Liu Er and others that they didn't need to come to deal with the books in the next few days and could talk about it after the Dragon Boat Festival. Liu Er agreed and went to Shizi's wife to tell the two maids, Juxiang and Juhuang.
Song Guanzhou had no objection to Rendong's arrangement.
"Okay, I'll practice my abacus today. It's not easy for Mu Er and Mu San Liang to be like this. They've come to listen to me many times."
Xiao Cang's behavior was ridiculous, and Mu Er and Mu San were obedient. After he gave such absurd orders, the two servants also shamelessly went to Shaohua Garden.
At first, I didn't dare to enter and just hid in the corner of the wall to eavesdrop.
"Is the young lady turning the beads on the abacus?"
"Can't hear it."
The two brothers had four sharp ears and wished they could sneak into Shaohua Garden to hear everything clearly. Qingfang saw the two of them acting sneaky, so he ran to the inner room and reported it to Song Guanzhou, making Song Guanzhou laugh and cry.
When Rendong came today, she also asked whether Mu Er and Mu San had come.
Before Ren Dong could ask, Qing Fei whispered, "Madam, Sister Dong, you came early this morning. You are so brave this time that you even came in to ask."
"what?"
Jin Dong lost her temper. Qing Fei replied, "Ask the young lady if she has woken up yet, whether she has practiced abacus, and if she needs any books. You can borrow them from the fifth young master." Song Guanzhou laughed dumbly, "Is it still there?"
Qingfei shook her head.
"Qingfang and Sister Lianhua chased them back, saying that the young lady had her own plans."
Having said this, she stopped again, raised her little face to look at Song Guanzhou who was still dressing up, and said, "Young Madam, I'm afraid you'll have to come again before dinner." He was always worried that Song Guanzhou would not be prepared. In other words, Xiao Cang was also afraid of winning unfairly.
"Never mind. Come over later and I'll take you to my place."
Rendong originally wanted to tie Song Guanzhou's hair up, but her hair was black and thick, and it was below her waist. It would be tiring to put it all up on her head. Song Guanzhou didn't want to go out to see people, so he simply let Rendong tie her hair into a bun, and the rest of her long hair was still braided into a long braid and fell on her back.
As for applying powder and drawing eyebrows, she didn't like it either.
On a plain face, she applied a little lip balm, pursed her lips, and looked very good.
There was no one around, so Honeysuckle whispered, "Madam, Chun Ge is tight-lipped. I tried every way I could, but couldn't get any information out of him. I asked Sister Meng to take Lotus out early, saying they were going to buy some colorful threads for the Dragon Boat Festival. I'll be able to get some information when they come back."
"it is good."
Song Guanzhou explained a few more things, but before he could elaborate, Qin Er's voice rang out in the courtyard, "Guanzhou, Song Guanzhou, are you still sleeping?" He was quite comfortable now. When he came, he would stay in Yanlai Hall. After waking up, he would go to Shaohua Garden to beg for food.
Chun Ge stood in the yard like a quail.
From time to time, he muttered, "Second Master, don't shout, or you'll make the young lady angry."
"Tsk! It's already noon, are you still sleeping?" But Qin Er only said this, and only called out in the courtyard, and did not enter the main room. Lianhua went over to answer early, "Young Madam is up, and she is still dressing up. Second Young Master, please wait for a while."
A tray of hot tea and fruits was brought up.
Chun Ge said with a shameless face, "Sister Lianhua, is there any food in the kitchen? The second young master is still hungry..." As for him, he now also likes to stay in the mansion, unlike in the Qin Mansion, where he has to get up early and report to the housekeeper.
Lotus agreed to wait a moment and went to the small kitchen.
Qin Qingdong was lying on a chair, fanning himself. Although the arm hanging around his neck affected his nobleman's demeanor, it did not hinder his comfort.
Ren Dong came out with a wooden basin, dumped the waste water, put the basin down and greeted Qin Qingdong. Qin Qingdong put away his fan and called Ren Dong to him. "I heard that the palace sent a reward to your young lady. Did you receive it?"
reward?
Honeysuckle was a little confused.
"Is the second young master talking about these two days?"
Qin Qingdong said unhappily, "It should be a Dragon Boat Festival gift. The Dragon Boat Festival is in three days. How come -, I didn't receive it?"
Honeysuckle shook her head.
"If it was a reward from the palace, we didn't even summon our young lady to receive it."
Qin Qingdong slapped his head, "It should be the two ladies, the Queen and the Crown Princess who gave it privately. How come it hasn't been delivered to your young lady yet? How can this be possible!" As soon as he saw the expression on Ren Dong's face, he knew it hadn't been delivered. He couldn't help but wonder, "It shouldn't be possible. When the people in the palace delivered it to the Qin Mansion, they were very clear about it, and then they sent it to the Duke's Mansion."
Song Guanzhou came over with lotus steps, "What are you bringing?"
"Dragon Boat Festival gift."
It was nothing important, so Song Guanzhou didn't take it seriously and didn't ask where it was sent from. She lifted her skirt and sat down, pointing at the porridge and side dishes on the table, "Bring me a bowl too." Rendong found a low stool and sat down. She was sewing insoles to make a pair of good shoes for Song Guanzhou.
"I'll ask Chun Ge to ask about it later. Besides, the Qin Mansion will also send some to you. I asked my mother and sister-in-law to put a few pieces of new brocade for you. You can use it to frame shoes and socks, or make a long gown or cape. The Dragon Boat Festival is very lively, and those who go out to watch the dragon boats will also have new clothes to wear."
Honeysuckle smiled and said, "Second Master, if it were cloth, even if we had four hands, we wouldn't be able to make new clothes."
Qin Er finally reacted, "Oh, if I had known, I would have sent it earlier."
Song Guanzhou waved his hand, "Food, clothing and daily expenses are all trivial matters. There is no outsider in the room, Qin Er, please tell me carefully, after the Qingmei Garden was imprisoned, do you have an explanation?"
"No, I asked Lord He, and he just said that the trial is still ongoing."
Qin Qingdong was afraid that Song Guanzhou would not believe him, so he said that he did not have an official title to support himself now, and he could ask some questions by borrowing the identity of the brother-in-law of the Eastern Palace, but he knew almost the same as Pei Si.
Song Guanzhou snorted, "Qin Er, don't try to fool both sides."
Qin Qingdong was startled, but he smiled as usual, "No, if Fuyun does something wrong, I will never side with her."
Song Guanzhou stared at Qin Er, which made him feel a little scared, and then he slowly lowered his head.
"Duan Liangyuan, you are close friends with your confidante Jin Fuyun. Don't you know this?"
what?
Qin Er suddenly stood up, wearing a wide-sleeved long gown, and came like a gust of wind, overturning the porridge, vegetables and tea cups on the eight-treasure low table, turning the table over with a rustling sound.
A mess.
"Guan Zhou, who told you?"
Song Guanzhou asked Rendong to pick up the fallen cups and bowls. A faint fragrance wafted from under the flower stand, but Qin Er stared at her, waiting for an answer.
"Your Majesty's birthday, I have eyes from beginning to end. Jin Fuyun is my lifelong enemy. I must have seen her every move. Duan Liangyuan sat behind the Crown Princess, looking low-key, but frequently looked at Jin Fuyun on the female side. Qin Er, I remind you that your worry about the eldest grandson of the East Palace is not groundless."
Qin Er sat down with a bang, "...Guan Zhou, Fu Yun probably doesn't dare."
