Chapter 832 Chapter 832
The guests who came today are either rich or noble. As for the pomp and circumstance, every family likes to make a grand funeral. All the male and female guests are dressed in plain clothes. If they are related, they have to wear mourning clothes, but not as plain white linen clothes as the direct relatives.
Qi Yueniang used Pei Qiuyun to break up the verbal conflict between Xiao Yinxiu and Song Guanzhou. She glanced at Diewu and Dieyi, stepped forward, and took Xiao Yinxiu's arm, "Let's go find my elder sister."
Xiao Yinxiu raised her head and took a look at Prince An's mansion, which was filled with mourning. She felt tired.
Now, she has lost her household duties, and her social interactions with various families have been almost cut off. In the past six months, Xiao Yinxiu seldom left the house. She had a crush on several young ladies, and when they occasionally visited her, it was usually through the gates of the mansions.
Today, Prince An's funeral was her first major social event without leaving the house.
pity--
Xiao Yinxiu unconsciously lowered her head and looked at the dark and plain dark purple clothes on her body. She laughed at herself in her heart. She was in mourning and had to dress up properly. The purple color did not suit her complexion. She must have looked sallow. Everyone looked at her.
She used to live next to Qi Yueniang, and because she was young she could outshine her widow sister-in-law.
Now, other people seem to think that there is not much difference between the two sisters-in-law.
In fact, Qi Yue Niang should be more energetic.
Princess Ming supported Auntie Cha and turned around to wait for the three sisters-in-law to slowly approach. "Where's the second brother?"
When asked about Pei Chen, Xiao Yinxiu knelt down and saluted before telling the truth, "Go in first and say I'm meeting my father."
Qi Yueniang was afraid that Pei Qiuyun didn't understand, so she simply explained, "Father came to the palace last night and said he wanted to sit with the prince."
Sit quietly for a while in front of the coffin, just as if you are bidding farewell to an old friend.
Princess Ming snorted, "In that case, follow me, and we will kowtow to the old prince together, and then go to the backyard."
After saying that, he glanced at Song Guanzhou who walked in from behind. He looked at her coldly. She was dressed in a simple and elegant way, but that face! How could she be so eye-catching even without makeup?
She looked gentle when talking to Qi Yueniang and Xiao Yinxiu.
But when his eyes met Song Guanzhou's, his disgust was barely concealed.
Song Guanzhou saw it clearly, but with people coming and going, even if she didn't want to have much interaction with Pei Qiuyun, she had to kneel down and greet her.
"Guan Zhou pays his respects to the Princess of the County."
Pei Qiuyun raised her eyebrows slightly, "In such a solemn place, you should speak less and think more about the dignity of the mansion when walking, sitting or lying down."
That's really unpleasant to say.
The general idea is that Song Guanzhou lacks etiquette and likes to gossip.
Song Guanzhou wanted to roll his eyes at her, but Diewu supported her and gently touched her waist before letting her press down.
Finally, he replied with a half-smile.
Pei Qiuyun was even more angry when she didn't get a promise. She frowned, her lips were tight, and her tone became more and more impatient. "I'll teach you a lesson. You don't know the etiquette at all. Kowtow to the prince and send someone to send you back."
Song Guanzhou's eyes lit up, "The Princess is right. I am young and ignorant. I am afraid of getting in the way. I will kowtow to the old prince and burn incense before leaving."
Oh my god!
It's so cold, who wants to stay here?
There are so many female relatives, and no matter how big Prince An's Mansion is, I'm afraid they can't take care of her. I'm afraid she can't leave early. Now that Pei Qiuyun has spoken, if Song Guanzhou sticks his neck out and says no, he would be a fool.
Seeing how sensible she was, Pei Qiuyun felt that this woman was hopeless.
The fourth son of the family is unlucky to have such a wife who is not good at business. So many royal relatives from the capital are here today, but she doesn't know that Pei An is just a small clerk in the Ministry of Personnel. He can only move up to a higher position by making friends with female relatives.
Look——
Nothing is possible!
Pei Qiuyun became angrier and angrier as she thought about it. "Don't think I don't know your little tricks. You just want to be lazy. Now you rely on your eldest and second sisters-in-law. Who will you rely on when you and Silang are sent out in the future?"
Song Guanzhou lowered his head and said, "Don't worry, Princess, we will be fine when the time comes."
puff!
There was a familiar yet harsh laughter coming from behind him. Song Guanzhou turned around suddenly and met Jin Fuyun, who was dressed in plain white.
"The fourth young master's wife is quite open-minded."
Song Guanzhou put away the perfunctory smile on his face and looked coldly at Jin Fuyun and the old woman in her fifties or sixties beside her who was short and thin but had an aura unlike that of an ordinary female.
"Miss, long time no see, I hope you are well."
When enemies meet, their eyes are full of jealousy, but Jin Fuyun was less sharp and more easygoing today. She smiled lightly, "Madam, I was wrong in the past and offended you in front of Aunt Huang. I want to apologize to you today."
After saying this, he dragged his lame leg and knelt to salute.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, even if Song Guanzhou didn't want to, he still lowered his eyebrows and knelt down to return the greeting, "Miss, you are too polite. It's not your fault that there were many misunderstandings in the past."
Yes, not wrong!
It is a sin, a serious sin punishable by death!
Song Guanzhou stood up, and the old lady beside him also relaxed her brows and smiled lightly, "My daughter is reckless. I hope you don't take it to heart for the things that I have done to offend you in the past. As a mother, I have already severely reprimanded Fuyun."
Oh, so this is Princess Hongan.
Before she could kneel down to salute, Pei Qiuyun came forward with Xiao Yinxiu and Qi Yueniang, "Niece-in-law pays respects to aunt."
"Yunniang, I heard that you have also come to the capital. After you send my old brother off, we must get together as aunt and nephew in the future."
Pei Qiuyun extended her hand and supported Princess Hongan.
"I will listen to my aunt."
After saying that, he glanced at Song Guanzhou who was standing beside him and said, "Why don't you come over and pay your respects to the princess? What happened between you and the eldest girl was just a play between girls in the boudoir. Why did you bring it to the princess? You don't know what's going on at all!"
In front of others, Pei Qiuyun, the head of the family, has an awe-inspiring demeanor without even getting angry.
Song Guanzhou stood there, stunned for a moment. If Dieyi hadn't reminded her softly, she would not have taken this step.
Like a puppet, she walked up to Princess Hong'an and greeted her obediently.
Princess Hong'an waited for her to stand up, then looked at Song Guanzhou with a kind face, "Good girl, I will hold a small banquet at home in the future, and I will definitely send you an invitation. Please give me, an old man, a favor and come to my house to sit down. Fuyun is about the same age as you, and if we two young girls sit together and talk freely, there will be no barriers. Is that okay?"
The voice was gentle, and there was no hint of embarrassment in the tone.
Speaking in public, Song Guanzhou suppressed his displeasure and smiled, "The princess has given an order, so Guanzhou respectfully obeys."
"Watching the boat?"
Princess Hongan laughed when she heard the name. "This is a nice name. I will call you that from now on. When you were little, I met your mother a few times. Now when I look at you, I think of her."
"...Thank you for your concern, my lord."
