Chapter 1269 Chapter 1269
Without waiting for Song Guanzhou to make any further plans, he called the maid who had been waiting in the outer room, took off his official hat and boots, helped him change into a deep robe and soft shoes, and then left with a smile.
Song Guanzhou called Ren Dong over and asked, "Where's the storybook?"
Honeysuckle suppressed her smile and said, "I can't even grab what the Fourth Young Master has."
"I didn't see him take it out, so it must have been placed inside the house. But you didn't see it when you were changing clothes with him?"
Ren Dong hurriedly helped her up and said, "I took a look, but the Fourth Young Master was quick and hid it again. My eyes were blurry and I couldn't see where it was hidden..."
Damn it!
How did Sanniang break up with her first husband? It was so sweet that it was hard to tell that they had broken up. She only mentioned that her husband had a cousin who came to stay overnight...
Oh my, my heart is being gnawing at by thousands of little ants.
The second one was this husband's cousin. He was handsome and charming. Although he was a little poor, he had a full forehead and his looks were comparable to Pan An.
The more I thought about it, the angrier I got, so I pounded the table.
Ren Dong laughed softly, "I told you, Madam, long ago that you should watch it during the day. When the Fourth Young Master comes back in the evening, he will definitely take it away from you."
"Oh! I am itching to do this."
The two gentlemen outside had already taken their seats. Xiao Bei came over with a servant holding a lantern to talk to Pei An and the others, but happened to see the food being served.
"Eating so late?"
Pei An stood up and welcomed Xiao Bei to sit down, "We've been delayed outside for some time, come back and eat something." Xiao Bei wanted to wave his hand, but Song Guanzhou, who came out with a cane, persuaded him, "Cousin Bei, we have Xu Yu wine from Mangzhou today, would you like to have a drink and try it?"
He looked at Xiao Bei and asked, "Sister-in-law didn't come?"
"She is trying to comfort Rui Ge'er, so she won't come."
Xiao Bei asked her about her legs and feet again, but she was calm and said, "Doctor Sun put a splint on me again and told me to walk less these days. I'm fine."
Qin Er smiled sinisterly and said, "You should listen to the doctor's advice. I think you can fly even with a single crutch. If you are lame, what will you do in the future?"
"Wish me good things, okay?"
After Song Guanzhou sat down, he saw the table full of delicious dishes and felt hungry. The maid set the table for the dishes and Pei An served Song Guanzhou the dishes first.
Song Guanzhou snorted, "Give it back to me."
Others didn't understand, but Pei An laughed and said, "Of course I can't."
Song Guanzhou ate the crystal jelly he had brought in a huff and said, "Give it back to me!" If it weren't for his bulging cheeks, his words would have sounded more powerful.
Qin Qingdong didn't understand, "What do you want to return to me?"
Song Guanzhou's eyes rolled, and he came up with a plan. He approached Pei An and said, "If you don't give it to me, I will tell Qin Er. He always likes to buy me storybooks..."
Pei An looked down, intimidating without even getting angry, "How dare you!"
Song Guanzhou twisted his neck and asked, "Try it?"
When Qin Er and the others were confused, Pei An sighed and said, "...I'll give it to you at night." In the end, he was defeated. He wanted to save face, but the girl in front of him didn't want to be shameless.
It's better to be barefoot than to wear shoes. Pei An felt a little relieved. Fortunately, they didn't have children, otherwise the responsibility of raising them would be a problem.
My wife is smart and lively, and she doesn't like the red tape of this world.
Although he is a delicate girl, he has the unrestrained character of a man. He once wanted Song Guanzhou to return to being cautious, gentle and dignified, but when he asked himself, he couldn't bear to do so.
Compared to the monotonous gentleness and quietness, he was reluctant to put any shackles on Song Guanzhou now, for fear that she would lose her current agility and liveliness.
How pleasant it was to have Song Guanzhou accompany him during his calm days.
The couple whispered to each other, which made Qin Qingdong dissatisfied. "Forget it, you two should keep quiet. My fourth sister and I are still here."
Xiao Bei punched Qin Qingdong on the shoulder, "Don't call me that again!"
"Oh! stingy."
The atmosphere during the meal was quite casual. Xiao Bei took a sip of Xu Yu's wine, pursed his lips to taste it, and concluded, "It's a bit sweet and bland."
Song Guanzhou was amused. "Xu Yu tastes just like this, but the fruit wine tastes soft and has a strong aftertaste. Don't underestimate it, cousin Bei."
Just coconut water.
When Hua Chonglou sent someone to deliver it to her, she was also curious about what this thing was. Fortunately, Hua Chonglou was kind and also sent two baskets of fruits.
Song Guanzhou leaned over and saw a coconut!
Many people like to drink coconut water, but Song Guanzhou thinks it is not sweet enough. He gave it to each room and kept two or three. "One is for you four young masters to try, and the remaining two are for you to share."
"What about you, Madam?"
The maids had never seen such large fruits shipped from Mangzhou thousands of miles away, and were very curious. When they heard that Song Guanzhou didn't eat them himself, they couldn't help but ask about them.
Song Guanzhou waved his hand, "This juice is light, I prefer sweeter ones."
Hehua and Qingfang were bolder. They came up to the young lady and braided her hair while being even more curious. "No one in the capital has ever seen this. The young lady actually ate it so early."
Song Guanzhou responded with a few perfunctory words.
Times are different. Fortunately, she came from the new era, and what she saw with her eyes and used with her hands were mostly things that have not been developed in this era.
Although she was always careful and hid her past life.
But life involves all aspects, whether it is eating, drinking, or talking, and the marks left by more than 30 years of modern life cannot be erased.
That is Song poetry.
Song Guanzhou couldn't help but feel dazed. She had been in this world for less than half a year and had experienced a lot, which made her gradually forget the Song poems she had written before.
When talking about the past, she remained silent.
Rendong was thoughtful and thought that Song Guanzhou was feeling lonely because he thought about the decline of the Song family. So she scolded the maids to stop talking and talked about other things to make the young lady feel better.
Xiao Bei took a few bites of the food and shouted that he couldn't eat any more.
Turning to look at Pei An and Xiao Bei, "When Silang is on leave, please accompany me to visit the master."
Pei An thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid it won't work. I heard a message from the Ministry of Rites that the examination papers were a little slow. The Minister of Rites submitted a memorial to the emperor, and the results are expected to be announced on the tenth day of June."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Bei's eyes lit up, "The results will be announced on the tenth?"
"I also heard Lord Jiang say that today."
Qin Qingdong heard this and raised his glass to invite him, "Xiao Silang, you will definitely be on the list." After that, he drank it all in one gulp. Song Guanzhou followed him and said, "Cousin, hard work will definitely pay off. I wish you a good score."
Xiao Bei was delighted. "I am grateful for your kind words, my dear brother Guan Zhou. However, the imperial examination is very difficult, and only one person can be selected from a million. I know that my knowledge is limited, but I have a plan in mind."
This was his first time with Pei An.
Pei An was on the second list, while he and people he knew all failed. This imperial examination was no ordinary matter, and all scholars had this awareness.
Song Guanzhou narrowed her eyes and thought about when she was taking the college entrance examination in her previous life and waiting for the results. Compared to Xiao Bei's indifference, she was very anxious at that time.
Fortunately, I was admitted to a key university.
But compared with the Dalong imperial examination, it is really not comparable.
Talent and hard work are both indispensable. Many people barely pass the Tongshi, but get stuck in the Xiangshi and never make the list in their lifetime. Even so, if they get the title of Xiucai, they are rare scholars in many rural areas.
Therefore, Xiao Bei's entry into the imperial examination was more valuable than Song Guanzhou's major examination.
