The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 315

Seeing this, Pei An had to promise that if they really wanted to compete, he would not hide it from the gentlemen who were close to him, and asked them to come when they were free.

Liu Furan sighed, "Of course I will come! The fourth son of the Xiao family and the young master of the Xu family, these two talented classmates, we also want to meet again."

A few people chatted and laughed, and repeatedly reminded Pei An not to miss it.

The young master of the Li family also shamelessly asked for an empty name tag. Qin Qingdong pointed at a few people and said, "If you come, you have to cheer for Guan Zhou. That fifth kid from the Xiao family, humph! I don't like him--"

Pei An didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and pulled him out the door, "Even Guan Zhou isn't as indignant as you, why are you so angry?"

"…That's your wife, who are you thinking about?"

The two chatted and laughed, then said goodbye to each other.

The mansion was full of traffic and people. Following the flow of people, they finally returned to the mansion. Xiao Yinxiu wanted to keep Mrs. Mei for dinner. Mrs. Mei pulled her and said softly, "I know you care about us mothers, but there are so many masters and brothers in the mansion, and we can't leave anyone behind."

Thinking that my second uncle was still at home, I had to give up.

The kitchen had prepared delicacies from land and sea early in the morning, with all kinds of dishes available.

Fortunately, it did not rain tonight. Considering the hot weather, the roses in the courtyard were in full bloom, and with the gentle evening breeze, bursts of floral fragrance came over.

They did not set up any table in the main hall, but instead asked servants to place seven or eight tables in the courtyard.

There were also many yellow wood-carved candlesticks with birds and animals around the courtyard, with round and five-pointed lanterns placed on them. At first glance, standing next to the dining table, it was both beautiful and bright.

As the dusk deepened, mosquitoes and moths would occasionally fly towards the lamp.

The tables and chairs were arranged properly, with a rough calculation of the number of people, with men and women on the left and right. In the middle was a six-fold wooden paper screen with a picture of the rushing Yellow River. On both sides were one-foot-high celadon incense burners, which were now burning early dried and ground wormwood powder.

It can also repel mosquitoes and is also suitable for the occasion.

Pei Hai sent someone to bring a white porcelain wine jar, found a large porcelain basin and put it inside, and drew well water to soak in the basin. The boys were curious and asked Pei Hai about it. Pei Hai smiled and explained it to the boys.

"This is realgar wine. You are still young, so you can't drink it."

Huan Ge'er jumped up and down, pulling Rui Ge'er beside him, "Do you know what realgar wine is? I know. Lady White Snake was fed realgar wine by her husband, so she showed her true form. Oh, it's all in vain."

When Mrs. Min came in, she shouted, "You naughty monkey."

"Where did you hear that? It's ridiculous!"

The legend of Xu Xian and White Snake has a long history, but this realistic story is the first time Mrs. Min has heard it. Pei Yuhuan raised her little face and called her grandma, "As Fourth Aunt said, people with different beliefs cannot work together. One used repaying a favor to show his divine power, and the other relied on a woman to cause a disaster—"

Stop it!

But she couldn't listen any more, because it was Song Guanzhou who said it. Mrs. Min pulled Rui Ge'er and Huan Ge'er to the table and coaxed them to talk about other things. The two children were young and listened to everything. Seeing this, Xiao Du said to Pei Chen, "Huan Ge'er is young, but he remembers these difficult words. If we train him well, he will definitely be a talent in the future."

Pei Chen held his forehead with his hand, "It's still early, I wasn't bad when I was a kid, but now I'm just like this."

He is self-aware.

Song Guanzhou was the last to sit down. Pei An went back to pick her up and wanted to carry her over, but Song Guanzhou quickly stopped him, "The sky is already cloudy. You've been working hard all day. Don't let her fall down halfway. That would make you really crippled."

The refusal was so refreshing and refined that Ren Dong suppressed her smile and said, "Then the young lady wants to go by herself?"

"That's impossible!"

There was no other way. Fortunately, the mansion was wealthy and had sedan chairs. They sent someone to bring them. Alu and Linxi volunteered to carry Song Guanzhou to the Dragon Boat Festival banquet.

After Xu Lingbai and his sister had tidied themselves up, they arrived at the banquet early and sat down on both sides. Mrs. Min from the Xiao family pulled Xu Lingqiao to sit beside them, "We are all family, don't be restrained."

Xu Lingqiao agreed obediently, which made Mrs. Liu envious.

"Speaking of which, if Guan Zhou had a gentler and more demure personality, he would probably be like Ling Qiao. Your Xu family is really good at giving birth, and each of them is as good as a fairy in the sky. I wonder which man will be so lucky in the future."

The sisters-in-law and the girls all laughed together.

Xu Lingqiao lowered her eyes and smiled quietly, but her heart was gloomy. In this life..., she could never get married again.

While chatting and laughing, Qi Yueniang sent Lanxiang again, "Go and urge your fourth young master's wife, why hasn't she come yet?" As soon as she finished speaking, a small sedan chair came in. Song Guanzhou sat on the sedan chair and saw the bustling atmosphere in the courtyard.

Before she even landed, she had already greeted the elders in a dignified manner, calling out without stopping for a moment, "father, eldest uncle, eldest aunt, third uncle, third aunt, eldest sister-in-law, second brother, second sister-in-law..."

This made the elders laugh and shake their heads.

Pei An and Ren Dong supported her on both sides. After she sat down, Pei An went to sit on the side for male guests. Mrs. Min pointed at Ren Dong and said, "In the past, your young mistress didn't like to be served by her. Today, she has difficulty walking, so you can be by her side and serve her tea and water. It's also cheap."

Honeysuckle knelt down and responded softly.

Song Guanzhou quickly raised the teacup with both hands and said to Mrs. Min, "Thank you for your love, aunt. I offer you a cup of tea. I wish you good health and everything goes well."

Mrs. Min laughed heartily, "Thank you for your concern, my son. I also hope that you will be healthy and safe this year."

They both drank it in one gulp.

Song Guanzhou looked at the table full of delicacies and fine wines and could only sigh that in every dynasty, rich people always lived comfortably.

The fish and shrimp sent from Jiangzhou overnight were now on the table, either steamed or braised. Song Guanzhou was about to feast on them when Ren Dong whispered, "Madam, why don't you eat something light? Doctor Sun and Doctor Zhao both said yesterday that you can't eat any irritating foods."

Song Guanzhou complained a little, "Even sea fish from Jiangzhou can't be used?"

Mrs. Liu responded, "I forgot about that. Guanzhou, you should be careful about what you eat these days. Not to mention sea fish and river shrimp, even the beef and mutton that you usually like to eat should be avoided."

As soon as he finished speaking, other sisters-in-law and girls who knew about it came to persuade him.

Song Guanzhou had no choice but to obey. "Forget it, forget it. I'll eat some pork side dishes and aged ham and bacon. I can't stop eating anymore. Without a bite of meat, my food won't taste good."

"Naughty monkey, just eat these things you like."

Mrs. Min shook her head and laughed, and asked Ren Dong to personally serve half a bowl of old ham stewed with wild ginseng.

Everyone at the table was happy and chatting around the injured Song Guanzhou. Some were cheerful, while others were indifferent. Xiao Yinxiu was in low spirits and spoke little. She ate the meal perfunctorily. After eating half of a rice dumpling, she felt choked in her chest and could not move. She felt more and more uncomfortable.

Looking at the colorful Dragon Boat Festival rope tied on my hand, it had touched the water unknowingly and became stained with red and green, which was even more disgusting to look at.

But in situations like this, no matter how uncomfortable she felt, she had to endure it.
