Chapter 169
After saying that, he looked at Song Guanzhou with bright eyes.
Song Guanzhou slapped his thigh and said, "I forgot this is the Duke's Mansion."
Then Qingfang was called in. She was small but sweet-spoken and capable.
After whispering a few words, Qingfang went out with a small basket. Qin Er lay back and said, "The Xiao family is well-educated and well-mannered, but how could they raise a young man like Xiao Cang who doesn't know his place—"
you still need to ask?
"Since he is not in good health, his uncle and aunt will surely love him more. Also, they think that he is not in good health and are afraid of being bullied, so they will treat him more highly. As a result, his personality will definitely become more arrogant. If he has some skills, he will be invincible."
Speaking of skills, Qin Er asked curiously, "Mathematics, do you really know something?"
Song Guanzhou snorted, "Fortunately, you won't know in the future."
Thanks to modern compulsory education, Song Guanzhou learned abacus and mental arithmetic for six years when she was a child. Although she did not become a master at it, the abacus or mental arithmetic should not be underestimated.
Even though all kinds of modern spreadsheet tools were available later, Song Guanzhou often used his childhood habits and did not rely much on calculators for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Besides, as a front-line clerk in such a high-intensity enterprise, was her nickname "cousin grandmother" for nothing?
Various classification summary tables are submitted, sometimes more than a dozen per day.
Why, she is not as good as Xiao Cang?
joke!
Pei An hadn't washed yet, and Qingfang, who had been out for a walk, came in with a half basket of sour plums. When she saw Song Guanzhou put down the basket, she ran over and said, "Madam, Second Master, I just went to the kitchen to take a look, and they said that the meal will be delayed for half an hour, so you can't pick it up for now."
Qin Er pushed the little maid with his folding fan and said, "Let's talk about business."
"..."
Qingfang swallowed her saliva and whispered, "I heard that the prince was locked in the ancestral hall, and the fifth son of the Xiao family was beaten with a stick and couldn't get out of bed. When I first went there, the wife of the fourth young master of the Xiao family sent someone to the kitchen to ask for some new eggs, saying that they were for the cousin's injury."
"Hey! Did you really fight?"
Qingfang nodded, her little face flushed red from the panic of running, as if she had put on rouge.
"The two servants who served the cousin ran around, and Sister Shuangyue took Doctor Zhang to Nuanfeng Garden. I heard from Uncle Liu that the eldest son of the Xiao family personally beat him, and his skin was torn and his flesh was torn apart. "
"Deserve it!"
Qin Er showed no sympathy, but Song Guanzhou seemed to be thinking, "Speaking of which, the eldest cousin and the fourth cousin are both good."
Pei An was now wearing a long gown and cloth shoes. He looked clean and refreshed, with his wet hair tied into a bun on his head. He walked next to Song Guanzhou with a scent of soapberry. "... Cangge'er was having a feast today and had a quarrel with the courtesans. He lost his wine pot and it fell on the second floor, hitting Princess Fuman, a relative of the royal family."
Oh hoo!
Thinking of what he said yesterday, Song Guanzhou couldn't help but whistle, "Tsk tsk!"
Qin Er pointed with his folding fan, "This woman has a crow's mouth!"
Pei An: ...Live like a god! Be more restrained -
"What then?"
Qin Er, who was interested in watching the fun, asked about it. Pei An relaxed and said, "Father took all of us to Princess Fuman's garden to apologize. Fortunately, the princess forgave us and did not make things difficult for us." Of course, the generous gifts presented by the Duke's Mansion and the Xiao family were also extraordinary.
Fortunately, Xiao Yinxiu and Mrs. Liu quickly collected two sets of headwear, four sets of gorgeous skirts, and six rolls of ice silk cloth.
The Aquarius cocoon fan next to it made up a box. Any one of them would be priceless, let alone the whole thing.
Song Guanzhou smiled and said, "It's only the second day, and who knows what will happen next..." She was a patient and didn't care about the affairs of the mansion, so she felt refreshed as a bystander, but when she saw Pei An, she began to sympathize with him.
"Why not, after visiting my parents on Dragon Boat Festival, we can move to Wenxi Villa."
Pei An glanced at him, his handsome face showing a mixture of laughter and tears, "My dear, it takes two hours to get from Wenxi Villa to the capital by horseback. With such a round trip, how can I sleep during the day?"
It is true.
Song Guanzhou thought for a moment and said, "Take a break in ten days, and then go to the villa to find me. On weekdays, you can live in the mansion and be free."
"That's a nice thought. If I'm not watching over you, what's the difference between you and Cang Ge'er?"
Song Guanzhou squinted at him, "I have always been reasonable, gentle and respectful. You are just talking nonsense when you compare him with me, Silang." After that, he looked at Qin Er, "Won't you be free by then? Come and help me hire a female rider so that I can learn how to ride a horse."
Qin Er became excited.
"Not only riding horses, but also archery, this young master is proficient in everything."
Pei An took Song Guanzhou's round fan and gently waved it with her, "Don't even think about it. It's impossible. And what about finding a female rider? When you're ready, I'll teach you myself."
Song Guanzhou snorted, "You can be a teacher of archery?"
"Why not?" Pei An said calmly, "A gentleman has six arts. Although Pei Si is not talented, he is still a little better than Erlang."
"Yes, yes, yes, you two are bullying me now, right, Sister Dong! Sister Dong! Set the table—" Just as Ren Dong responded to Qin Er's words, she heard Qin Er say, "Today I asked Brother Chun to get the apricot wine. I asked the maid to put it in the well to cool down. Remember to bring it up. I will drink with Guan Zhou later."
Honeysuckle's heart finally died.
There are differences between men and women! Don't harm my young lady——
She has a bad reputation to begin with, and now she seldom goes out, or she stays at home like a lady. How could she let the young lady have an easy life?
Then he secretly looked at Pei An, who was indifferent. Song Guanzhou and Pei An were whispering to each other. They seemed to be talking softly, but they were actually talking about something important. "...Princess Fuman, if I remember correctly, she is your old lover?"
Pei An:......
After glancing sideways, Qin Er put down his teacup, raised his head and looked back, "What a murderous look! How could it be——"
"You are learning good things with Guanzhou during the day. If you talk nonsense, I will definitely ask the old lady to catch you back."
Qin Er was completely confused, "What did I do to you?" Then he looked at Song Guanzhou, questioning him silently. Song Guanzhou snorted and laughed, "Qin Er told me that when he stormed out of Shaohua Garden last time, he mentioned Princess Fuman several times."
what?
Boomerang, late but arrived.
Qin Er covered his chest with a hurt expression, "Song Guanzhou, that was just gossip from the quarrel—"
Song Guanzhou didn't care and just pulled Pei An's sleeve. If Qin Er wasn't there, she would definitely hold his hand directly. Considering the acceptance level of her ancient compatriots, she instead pulled Pei An's sleeve of his dark blue dark flowered bamboo brocade clothes in a "coquettish" way, and said with a little anger, "Silang, I'm asking you a question, why are you scaring Qin Er!"
A real jealous fairy.
In fact, no man can resist a beautiful, coquettish, and slightly jealous woman.
