The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 294

Song Guanzhou's voice was clear and graceful. Xu Lingqiao looked up at him, her eyes full of envy. She was envious of the fact that she could still live a carefree and happy life in this wealthy mansion.

She spoke and acted carefully and followed Song Guanzhou into the house.

She didn't dare look directly at the two elders inside.

"Father, Third Uncle, this is my cousin from my mother's side. She and my cousin Ling Bai are born of the same mother. My cousin went to study in the academy, so my cousin went back to her hometown with her aunt, so she only arrived in the capital yesterday. My cousin Xu went out of the city to pick her up early this morning. She just arrived at your house and came to pay her respects to father and uncle."

Xu Lingqiao also took a half step forward and knelt down to salute, "Xu Lingqiao greets the master and the third uncle, and wishes long blessings to the two elders."

Pei Jian and Xiao Hongli were sitting next to the Zhenlong Bureau, and asked Xu Lingqiao to excuse herself. When she stood up, Pei Jian looked at Xu Lingqiao and nodded continuously, "Ling Bai came to me before and mentioned that my sister looks very similar to Guan Zhou. Now that I see her, it is true. It's just that my daughter-in-law is naughty by nature, and doesn't look as demure and elegant as your cousin."

Xiao Hongli stroked his beard and said kindly, "All good, all good. If it weren't for their different personalities, I with my old eyes would not be able to tell the difference between two pretty girls standing together." Xu Lingbai and Xu Lingqiao both knelt down and said they didn't deserve the praise from their elder.

Pei Jian asked everyone to sit down, and then he looked at Xiao Cang who was following behind him and laughed, "Why is Cang brother here too?"

Xiao Cang stood up and bowed, "It's been a while since I came to pay my respects to my uncle and uncle..."

"You were blocking the door this morning, asking me about the questions, why are you saying now that we haven't seen each other for a while?" Xiao Hongli snorted and laughed, directly poking at Xiao Cang, "I'm afraid you went to quarrel with Guan Zhou again, right?"

Xiao Cang shook his head, "No, Song Guanzhou and I——"

"presumptuous!"

Hearing his uncle's roar, Xiao Cang quickly changed his words and whispered in defense: "I told my fourth cousin's wife what you said to me this morning. I was afraid that she didn't know the date of the exam and would miss the opportunity."

Xiao Hongli was so angry that he laughed, and pointed at Xiao Cang for a long time without saying a word.

It was Pei Jian who held down his arm again. "The children have no bad intentions. Don't be angry, third brother. You see them quarreling, this is how life is." Then he spoke some caring words to the Xu brothers and sisters, mostly about living well in the mansion. Guan Zhou had been here for more than two years and had few relatives to accompany him. They should not think about leaving, and everything should depend on the imperial examination.

The words of encouragement moved the Xu brothers and sisters to tears.

He stood up several times and expressed his gratitude.

"This is your home, live here with peace of mind." After giving Song Guanzhou a few more instructions, he let them leave. Song Guanzhou led them to Kuoyue Zhai, where several boys were gathering together for dinner. When they saw Song Guanzhou coming, they ran over excitedly and were about to surround him, but when they saw Xu Lingqiao beside him, the children's faces were filled with surprise.

"Oh my god, you look exactly like Fourth Aunt."

Qi Yueniang came out of the inner room upon hearing the voice. When she saw Xu Lingqiao, she smiled and said, "Sister Xu, you are finally here. Do you know how long Guanzhou has been waiting for you?" As she spoke, she walked over to Xu Lingqiao and looked her up and down. "You have lost a lot of weight, but have you been eating well?"

Xu Lingqiao's face was shy. "Thank you for your concern, Madam. I have been very busy all the way. My food and accommodation are not as good as at home. It's a little bit less, but it's okay."

"That's good. Come in and talk quickly. Guan Zhou, I'm afraid you haven't eaten yet, right?"

As she was about to call the maid to go to the kitchen to order some dishes, Song Guanzhou quickly stopped her, "I have already prepared everything in my room, but I just picked up my cousin, so I wanted to come and pay my respects to my father, uncle, and sister-in-law first."

Seeing this, Qi Yue Niang did not want to keep them for a while longer. "We sisters live together, so we can get together. I will not be polite with you now. Go back and have dinner first. You don't have to go to your second sister-in-law in vain. This morning, she accepted the invitation from the old lady of Minister Xu's family and went to attend the small banquet of the third lady. I am afraid she will be back later."

After leaving Kuoyue Zhai, Xu Lingbai thought about going to Nuanfeng Garden and Biluozhai.

Xiao Cang was not polite either, "Cousin Xu, let's eat first. Even if you are not hungry, I am afraid Miss Xu is also hungry. After dinner, we will go to my wife and Third Aunt. They are the most gentle and must like Miss Xu very much."

Song Guanzhou smiled and said, "Okay, listen to Brother Cang. If my cousins ​​aren't hungry, I can't stand it either."

The group entered Shaohua Garden and rested. Sister Meng had already set the table. Xiao Cang said with a shameless face, "Song Guanzhou, I'm not full either." Mu Er covered his face and couldn't bear to look directly at him. Song Guanzhou shook his head and laughed, "...then let's eat together."

After they sat down, the maids brought basins to wash their hands. When the masters started to eat, several maids waited in the courtyard. Lotus sighed, "My cousin looks so much like the young lady."

Qingfang and Qingfei nodded repeatedly, "My cousin's eyebrows and eyes are not very similar to those of the young lady, but her face and nose look like they were carved from the same mold."

Zhuang Gu brought the maid Xiao Xi who had just finished her meal to the front and said to Qing Fang and Qing Fei, "You three are not much different in age. From now on, you two sisters should take care of Xiao Xi more."

Qingfang and Qingfei held Xiaoxi's hand and nodded.

"It looks smaller than us, Zhuanggu."

Zhuang Gu smiled and said, "The age is not much different, but she didn't eat well in the beginning and didn't grow tall. She just needs to take better care of herself later."

Xiaoxi is timid and only calls everyone "sister" and dares not say anything else.

Qingfang and Qingfei took her to sit in the yard and asked about everything at home. When they heard that their parents were gone, the little ones drooped their shoulders and said, "We both lost our parents too."

The masters in the room were all hungry and ate quickly. Rendong reminded them several times, "Young Madam, eat slowly. Your stomach is not feeling well and you won't be able to digest the food if you eat too fast." Xu Lingqiao looked over and thought that if this scarred woman had a pretty face, she would look pretty. What a pity.

It’s a pity, but also a surprise.

Seeing that she dared to say that and pointed at the servants in the room to do their work, he thought that his cousin was really strange. How could such an ugly housekeeper stay by the side of a young lady?

After hearing what Rendong said, Song Guanzhou slowed down.

Xu Lingqiao glanced over casually, and did not see Song Guanzhou getting angry, but Rendong's face was full of heartache, "When Miss Hua comes back, I'll ask her to make some hawthorn pills. Madam, you still need to take care of your spleen and stomach."

Song Guanzhou nodded.

"You decide."

Among the people at the table, Song Guanzhou was the last to put down his bowl and chopsticks. Xiao Cang was not shy, "Song Guanzhou, I think you should eat smaller meals more often." He no longer remembered the dirty words they said in their quarrel. Instead, he muttered a lot like a doctor who has been ill for a long time.

Song Guanzhou's eyes widened, "Cang'er, I just have a weak spleen and stomach, I'm not going to die immediately."

Honeysuckle: ...Ancestor, look at what you are saying!
