Chapter 261
Song Guanzhou didn't know all this. Xiao Yinxiu withheld the reward from the palace, saying that he needed to report to his father.
The matters at home were trivial, so Qi Yueniang didn't want to say much.
But Xiao Yinxiu refused to come today. Lanxiang heard some complaints from Aru and told her about it in private. She was dumbfounded, "How could my second brother's wife be so disrespectful?"
Lan Xiang sighed, "Who says it's not true? I heard in the past that she doesn't like the Fourth Young Master's wife, but how could she be so open and honest in broad daylight, and speak frankly in front of the Prince and the two young masters? I heard that the Prince was so angry that he wanted to divorce her——"
That’s all.
Qi Yueniang's head twitched slightly, "Fortunately I didn't ask her again, otherwise, with her temper, who knows what she would have said again."
Now, everyone in Shaohua Garden is toasting and drinking, so who cares whether she comes or not?
When Song Guanzhou heard Qi Yueniang say that Xiao Yinxiu was not feeling well, he only said, "That's right, my second sister-in-law usually manages household affairs and uses her brain dozens of times more than I do. She should rest well."
After that, he never mentioned Xiao Yinxiu again.
Wang Qionglan and Zhang Fanghui, two sisters-in-law, were sitting next to each other, and they said vaguely, "It doesn't seem to be uncomfortable in the morning or evening, but it just happened that at this moment, I sent a maid to invite her, but she didn't come."
"Never mind, it's just that we sisters rarely saw each other in the past. After we part from now on, I'm afraid we may only see each other once in months and years. Just be happy."
Zhang Fanghui looked at Song Guanzhou who was chatting and laughing with Qi Yueniang across from her, and sighed in her heart, "Elder sister, elder sister, you just think that you are in a higher position now, but you are blinded and can't see that our aunt is not in charge of the mansion, and the Song family is in its heyday. Why don't you just live in harmony with your family? Why do you have to think about other things? Why bother?"
Qin Ge'er and the other young men did not go to the men's table, but sat next to Song Guanzhou, chattering non-stop with him.
"Aunt Si, you said last time that you would teach us how to tie knots, but you haven't taught us yet?"
Song Guanzhou had just taken a sip of wine, and her fair face was tinged with the beauty of the sunset. She lowered her head and said to the boys, "Do you know how to fight as I taught you last time?" The three children looked at each other and lowered their heads.
“…I forgot about it the next day.”
Song Guanzhou: …
"Okay, I'll teach you some tying-up techniques another day."
Several children clapped their hands and said, "This is great." Qi Yueniang smiled bitterly and said, "Why are you teaching them this——"
“It’s fun!”
In fact, it is a means of saving life. If you really encounter a bad guy, don't be defeated by the binding even if you can catch him easily. Song Guanzhou showed off to the children proudly, "There are two more fun things, that is, if someone ties you up, you can escape without making a sound."
It was just that I was browsing the Internet and saw some interesting science popularization, so I asked my friends to experiment with me.
Because I am curious and like it, I learn very well.
Now that she has come to this strange imaginary world, she feels, intentionally or unintentionally, that life is not so boring. Besides waiting to be imprisoned and beheaded, there are other things she can do.
The young men were delighted to hear this. Huan grabbed her sleeves and said in a baby voice, "Fourth Aunt, I want to learn how to play in the water from you."
Playing in the water?
Song Guanzhou was in a dilemma.
Now that the weather is hot, it would be nice to find a dense forest stream and play in it, but it is a bit unorthodox. She suddenly thought of Wenxi Villa and looked up at Pei An, "Silang, is there a larger hot spring pool in Wenxi Villa?"
Pei An shook his head, "It's not that big. Although we have brought hot spring water into the house, there is no big pool." Having said that, he asked back, "What do you want?"
Song Guanzhou pinched the little face of the meat ball and replied with a smile, "Huan Ge'er wants to play in the water. If there is no water, we can find some masons to dig out an open-air one some other day."
The women all exclaimed, "Out in the open air..."
"Sisters-in-law, basking in the sun, you can see the light entering the water, and the whole world becomes quiet, it's very beautiful." Song Guanzhou's words were full of encouragement, and the traditional ladies couldn't understand it. They all shook their heads and said, "No, no."
Undress, go into the water in the sun.
Wang Qionglan and Qi Yueniang are older, and just thinking about it makes them blush.
Song Guanzhou smiled faintly, "It's really not a problem. Besides, the young men are getting older and more capable. It's better not to be at a loss when the water comes." Pei Chen on the other end was in high spirits, "Okay, okay, I'll tell Uncle Hai, and you go and have a look later. Find a good place to dig it out. As Guanzhou said, it should be exposed to the sun on top and paved with green jade slabs on the bottom. How deep should it be?"
This question was asked to Song Guanzhou, who converted the units and replied, "A ten-foot depth is enough."
"What? Ten feet, is that too deep?"
Pei An shook his head, "Half a zhang is enough. If it's too deep, it won't hold water. Two zhang wide and one zhang deep, that's enough for playing in the water."
But he had already made a plan in his mind. If it was really dug out, and if there were other people around, he would definitely not allow his wife to go into the water.
The young men were very happy to hear that there was something to play in the pond. They drank sour plum soup with great pleasure and clinked glasses with Song Guanzhou from time to time. The table was casual but they ate happily. There was no screen between the two tables. They talked and laughed and were having a great time.
Originally Qi Yueniang and the two young ladies of the Xiao family were still reluctant to relax, but after drinking three cups of wine, they all became interested.
Especially Qi Yue Niang, she has been a widow for many years and has strictly abided by the rules. Even her daily clothes and appearance have become plain. She seldom wears bright red things. Her gold hairpin and step-shaking ornaments have been kept in a box for a long time. She wears light-colored clothes and silver hairpins and step-shaking ornaments over the years, and her heart has also aged.
Today, Song Guanzhou persuaded her to drink some wine. Her face turned red as if a flower had bloomed, and her speech was much more lively than usual.
The young men were also very happy. Seeing this, Xiao Du couldn't help but sigh, "I should have brought my two monkeys here earlier. Not to mention other things, just the scenery of Shaohua Garden, let's enjoy the glory of Silang Jinshi, and see Guanzhou's ability."
Wang Qionglan raised her lips and said to her husband across the crowd, "It's better that they didn't come. I heard from my mother that the two brothers are as naughty as Sanlang and Silang in the past. If they came, Guanzhou's fine courtyard would definitely be messed up." After that, she pointed at Xiao Cang who was drinking with both hands, "Just this one will make a big fuss."
Saburo?
Xiao Du understood and immediately changed the subject. Everyone felt a little awkward, so they followed Xiao Du's lead and changed the subject.
Song Guanzhou approached Qi Yueniang and asked, "Sister-in-law, does Sanlang refer to my third brother?"
"Oh, yes." Qi Yueniang nodded slightly and whispered to Song Guanzhou, "In the past, Sanlang and Silang were like twins, going in and out together, and even going to Xiao's maternal grandfather's house together." When Song Guanzhou heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Pei An, only to see him lower his head slightly, his face as usual, but his eyes a little lost.
The distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children is clear in this mansion.
But in front of Pei Si, he had crossed the blood boundary.
