Pei Chen snorted, "Even if she is the princess of a county, she is still the aunt of the mansion. There is no need to be so cautious. We are a family after all."
Qi Yueniang laughed repeatedly when she heard this.
"You can't say that, my lord. We are going to meet the princess of the county, and it is the prince who gives us the honor."
Otherwise, how could it be the Pei family’s turn to visit after only being in Beijing for half a day?
Speaking of Liu Ke, Pei Chen became even more annoyed. "Only you women think this is respectable. I think Liu Ke has entered the capital and no one cares about him. The front door is empty. He is just not used to it."
Liu Ke used to be a dissolute and unruly prince in the capital.
Pei Chen is no match for him. Other royal relatives also hate Liu Ke. He has real power, but he is not upright. When he becomes a mess, no one can match him.
"Sir..."
Qi Yueniang looked helpless, "After all, this is my eldest sister's family, don't you expect anything good?"
Pei Hai also came in at this moment and reported to Qi Yueniang, "Madam, the gift carriage is ready, just waiting for your order. Master Hua sent someone to ask if we would like to go and pay our respects together today?"
Qi Yueniang thought about it and nodded slightly.
"The Princess has traveled a long way, so we will go to her house first. When she returns to the mansion in the future, we will invite them to come here and meet the eldest sister."
"Yes."
The three sisters-in-law took two carriages. Pei Chen had to ride with his wife because of the wound on his face. Qi Yueniang and Song Guanzhou got on the carriage and whispered something, "I haven't seen my eldest sister for many years, and I don't know what kind of temper she has. You just follow me, and everything will be fine."
Song Guanzhou nodded, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. She is the eldest sister and the princess of a county. I will definitely respect her."
"That makes me feel relieved. To be honest, my father was also worried and told me a few more things. Today we are reunited as family members, so let's put other things aside. Even if your second sister-in-law says something unpleasant, we won't mind it and just laugh it off."
"Okay, I'll listen to you, sister-in-law."
In the capital, if one does not reside in the capital permanently, such as a prince like He Jiang, the prince's mansion is not called a palace. They are generally called villas or courtyards.
The specifications are certainly not as grand as the Prince's Mansion in the old base camp.
It is only slightly larger than the ordinary three-courtyard house, and at most has an additional side yard or garden.
So, when Song Guanzhou stood at the gate of the villa of Prince Ming's Mansion and looked up at the door lintel, he found that it was indeed not as good as the mansion.
But it doesn’t matter if there are many rules.
After going up one floor after another, passing several eaves and walking along two winding corridors, they finally arrived at the door of the main house where Pei Qiuyun lived.
The maids in Prince Ming's mansion wore blue and red jackets with sleeves, and their attire had some southern Yunnan style.
It's slightly different from the capital.
The leading nanny was about fifty years old, and her maiden name was Bai Cha. Xiao Yinxiu just saw her and stepped forward to hold her hands, "Aunt Cha, I haven't seen you for a long time. How come you have white hair too?"
Auntie Cha smiled and said, "Madam, time flies. My brothers have grown up so much. How can I not grow old?"
She was the most capable maidservant serving old Madam Xiao. Later, she married off and became an aunt. When Pei Qiuyun got married, all her family followed her to southern Yunnan.
Until now, half of the internal affairs in the Southern Yunnan Prince's Mansion are supported by Bai Cha and her husband.
She is deeply trusted by Pei Qiuyun.
Therefore, they came out specifically to greet Pei Qiuyun's family. Among them, Xiao Yinxiu was the one she was most familiar with. The two of them held hands and exchanged a few words.
Aunt Cha just looked over. She was not unfamiliar with Qi Yue Niang, but the goose-yellow figure behind Qi was so beautiful that it was hard to look away.
I've heard that the fourth young master's wife is extremely beautiful and famous for her beauty.
But I never thought it would be like this.
The pretty oval face looked like it was carefully carved out of warm white jade, and even in this gloomy weather, it emitted a bright white light.
On her rosy white face, she had a rare pair of sword-like eyebrows and big eyes, and a straight and beautiful nose. She looked like a fairy from a fairy tale!
No wonder!
The Fourth Young Master is guarding such a beautiful and elegant girl, how could anyone else be interested in him? Aunt Cha thought of something in her mind and her heart sank.
But now is not the time to think about this. After greeting Qi Yueniang and Song Guanzhou, Aunt Cha brought the maids to welcome the three sisters-in-law and three brothers of the Pei family.
After walking around the outer room and through the screen, I finally arrived at the guest room. On the chaise longue, there sat a woman in her thirties, dressed elegantly and wearing a golden phoenix hairpin on her head. Looking at the five-tailed phoenix hairpin, I could tell that she was of noble status.
There were two maids beside her, one was burning incense, and the other was helping her to smooth the jade pendant and necklace around her waist.
"Princess Princess, the eldest young master's wife, the crown prince's wife, and the fourth young master's wife are here."
Aunt Tea led the way and reported, and three people followed in one after another. They came in front of Pei Qiuyun and saluted together. Song Guanzhou was young and inexperienced, so he stood behind Qi Yueniang and Xiao Yinxiu and followed suit to pay their respects. There was nothing wrong with his etiquette, but it wasn't very good either.
But Pei Qiuyun still fell in love with her at first sight.
With this kind of appearance, even if Song Guanzhou dressed casually and hid behind others today, he could not escape Pei Qiuyun's eyes.
"Hurry up and get up. We are all sisters. Don't be so polite."
She met Qin'er's two brothers again. She hugged them and called them her darlings. After a period of close aunt and nephew affection, she sent someone to take the three brothers out.
"I want to talk to your mother and aunt."
Instruct the maids and old women to take good care of it.
Afterwards, the three sisters-in-law were given seats.
Qi Yueniang and Xiao Yinxiu took the lead in greeting each other. They reminisced about the past with Pei Qiuyun and asked about each other's recent situation. When they mentioned their brother who passed away early, they couldn't help feeling sad.
Pei Qiuyun took the soft handkerchief handed to her by the maid and wiped her eyes gently. The joy of meeting each other could not suppress the melancholy after years of separation.
Qi Yueniang and Xiao Yinxiu couldn't help but be infected and started to sob as well, wiping their tears.
"It's a great joy to see my sisters, a room full of blood and flesh, and I really shouldn't cry. But when I think about how far away southern Yunnan is from the capital, and how they were all as young and beautiful as my fourth brother and his wife when we met before, but now they all look old and haggard, how can I not sigh?"
Pei Qiuyun spoke emotionally, wiping away tears repeatedly, and she looked truly sad.
Song Guanzhou didn't know how to respond when he heard that he was mentioned, so he could only say that he didn't dare. But when Pei Qiuyun heard this, the sadness on her face immediately disappeared, and she smiled and said softly, "Fourth brother's wife is really a wonderful person. Although I'm not in the capital, I often hear about her. She is an extraordinary girl."
Good guy!
Why does this compliment make the hair on my neck stand on end?
Song Guanzhou had no choice but to stand up and said, "I am really overwhelmed by your praise, Princess."
