Chapter 138
Half an incense stick later, Pei Jian came in wearing a royal blue robe with cloud patterns and a straight hem, with his hands behind his back, followed by Pei Hai and Lin He. Pei An and Song Guanzhou stood up to greet them, and the three grandchildren also came forward to greet them.
"Sit down, sit down, enjoy the boat ride. Don't make it a social event just because I'm here."
Pei Jian asked everyone to sit down. Song Guanzhou called Qin Ge'er, "Pour some wine over for your grandfather." Qin Ge'er obeyed and filled a cup of plum wine steadily. He handed it to Pei Jian with both hands and said, "Please have a taste, grandfather."
"it is good."
Pei Jian was rarely so warm and gentle. Song Guanzhou raised his glass and said, "Come on, everyone, raise your glasses and invite the moon to drink with you. Cheers!"
After that, he gently clinked the small tall glass with the one held by Huan Ge'er, who held the glass with both hands, said in a childish voice, "Cheers!"
Pei An laughed when he saw this, and raised his glass to his father from a distance, "Father, please!"
After the first cup, the rest became more casual. Three generations of people in one family enjoyed the smoky delicacies and drank wine, feeling so comfortable.
Song Guanzhou felt that something was missing, so he asked if there was any zither. But Jindong and the others could only shake their heads and said, "We are all rough people, how can we know these things?"
"Who would?"
Who is it?
Ling Ge'er shouted, "Fourth Uncle can do it!"
Song Guanzhou looked over, eyes full of expectation, "Is Silang good at playing the flute or the guitar?"
Pei An waved his hands repeatedly, "I only know how to play the zither, but in such a smoky and hot place, how can I play the zither?"
Oh - playing the guqin is a little tricky. Song Guanzhou felt a little regretful. "That's because there's no one to play the guqin and zither to liven up the atmosphere. Does Qin Ge'er know how to play it?"
Qin Ge'er was a little shy, "I once learned to play the flute from a teacher."
Song Guanzhou immediately joined the two younger ones in clapping and cheering, "That's great. Lao Lanxiang should go back and get Qin Ge'er's flute."
When Lanxiang came back to get the flute, Qi Yueniang laughed. Why was it making more and more of a fuss?
"Young Madam, you don't know that the Duke has also gone to Shaohua Garden. The Fourth Young Madam is enjoying her meal and is annoyed that no one is playing music."
"In that case, you can also bring the flower drum, which you are already good at, to help them have fun."
When Qi Yue Niang gave an order, Lan Xiang dared not disobey.
After getting the tools, they went to Shaohua Garden. When they arrived at Shaohua Garden, they heard the sound of erhu. It turned out that Pei Hai was also good at this elegant music. After listening to a casual tune, Song Guanzhou leaned back in his chair, feeling quite moved.
Although Qin Ge'er is young, his flute skills cannot be underestimated.
They ate and drank, played music and recited poems, feeling quite proud.
After Lanxiang finished singing a song, she received great praise from Song Guanzhou. She was a little shy at first, but Rendong asked the maids to bring her a glass of wine. "Don't be polite, sister. Just eat it."
He also gave her roasted mutton and pork.
Pei Jian didn't like this kind of plum wine that girls and children drink, so he sent Linhe to get the Bamboo Leaf Green that a friend had sent. Pei An and Pei Hai accompanied the old man to drink a cup, which made Song Guanzhou greedy too, so he shamelessly asked for half a cup.
It tastes bitter at first, becomes spicy as it goes down the throat, and feels hot in the stomach.
A sip of new wine, a new life.
Song Guanzhou said to his three brothers with a smile, "I am going to turn from evil to good today. You and the serving sisters can drink this plum wine. Fourth Aunt is going to the master's camp."
Qin Ge'er felt that Fourth Aunt was different from the other girls in the boudoir. Seeing Ling Ge'er and Huan Ge'er playing and laughing with her, he also followed suit, "Fourth Aunt wants to play with us until we are drunk."
Ouch.
Song Guanzhou pretended to be angry, "How about we make a bet and see who gets drunk first?"
Qin Ge'er was puzzled. How to bet?
Song Guanzhou looked at the children and said, "It's simple. Just say a four-character idiom, starting from the beginning and ending at the end. If you can't say it, you have to drink a glass of wine. I'll let you go today. You can drink a glass of plum wine, and I can drink a glass of bamboo leaf green wine. How about that?"
Huan Ge'er was anxious and said, "No, no, no, Fourth Aunt, Huan Ge'er has not yet started to learn to read. What should I do?"
Everyone couldn't help themselves any longer and burst out laughing.
Song Guanzhou tried to hug him, but Pei An quickly stopped him, "Be careful with your wounds." After taking Huan Ge'er, Song Guanzhou said, "Huan Ge'er, your fourth uncle is in cahoots with you."
Huan Ge'er immediately started dancing with joy, and the two children beside him were angry. Pei Jian rarely smiled, "What do you two brothers mean by this?"
Ling Ge'er boldly pulled his grandfather's sleeve and said, "It's not fair. Fourth uncle is a second-class Jinshi and is very knowledgeable. My elder brother and I have only studied for a few years. How can we compare with Fourth Uncle——"
"Oh, is this a problem? You two are small but ambitious. You've already lost your momentum before you even start fighting. That's unacceptable."
Song Guanzhou was teasing the two of them. Qin Ge'er turned around and said, "Fourth Aunt, this is the truth. We can't be blindly conceited." Song Guanzhou laughed and said, "This is not difficult. Your fourth uncle replied that you can only count to two, but others can count to ten. How do you think?"
Shuangyue, who serves Xiao Yinxiu, and Lanxiang, who serves Qi Yueniang, can both take care of this kind of elegant matter.
The two of them changed to chopsticks to play the small flower drum played by Lanxiang. Originally, Pei Jian and Pei Hai were just watching, but Song Guanzhou would not let them go and shouted to come over.
To be honest, she has the most fierce aura.
Everyone thought that she was the most capable. After all, as the daughter of Academician Song, she naturally had talent in poetry and literature.
But who could have expected that after the actual competition, Song Guanzhou would be the worst off.
Everyone was dumbfounded and Song Guanzhou felt like crying but had no tears.
The times are different and the idioms are not the same. How would she know?
After drinking four cups of Bamboo Leaf Green, Song Guanzhou was no longer able to handle the alcohol. His eyes were blurry, and he saw double images, feeling dizzy and lightheaded.
Qin Ge'er couldn't help but mutter, "Why does Fourth Aunt like to make up stories?"
"Yes, Fourth Aunt is the most cunning. She clearly doesn't know how to do it, but she talks nonsense with great momentum and almost scare us." Song Guanzhou was so ashamed and angry that he couldn't bear it. "Children, Aunt is willing to admit defeat and has also drunk a lot of wine. Can you please stop talking?"
Limitations of the times.
When it came to the big words, Song Guanzhou blurted out "majestic and majestic". Pei An asked in confusion, "Guanzhou, are you making up a idiom again?"
what?
This is also self-made!!!
Song Guanzhou couldn't believe it. "That's impossible, isn't it? Isn't this word used quite often?"
Pei Jian shook his head, "Oh, Shou'an really dotes on you too much. How come you are so obsessed with knowledge that you are confused." If Song Wenqi knew about this in the afterlife, he would probably be so angry that he would come back to life. This girl with a changed heart turned out to be illiterate.
When it came to the word "small" again, Song Guanzhou once again bravely took the lead, "This is not difficult for me, it's a piece of cake!"
Even Pei Hai almost spit out his wine, "Madam, how can this be a four-character idiom? It's just a common saying, it just happens to have four words?"
what?
what?
what? !
Song Guanzhou asked tearfully, "Isn't 'a piece of cake' an idiom?"
After receiving Pei An's affirmative answer, he drank a large cup of Bamboo Leaf Green, covered his face with his hands, and was unable to face anyone.
(Note: These idioms were not created until after the founding of New China.)
