His jokes made everyone laugh, and when he entered the cafeteria, he saw the table was already filled with a dazzling array of delicacies.
The old lady was sitting in the main seat, now smiling widely, with wrinkles at the corners of her eyes showing joy.
The two Wen sisters first paid their respects to Song Guanzhou, and then she took the old lady's hand and looked around, "Aunt is very casual. There are so many people coming and going in the dining hall. It's a bit difficult for me to kowtow to you."
Seeing that her complexion was rosy and her health was gradually improving, Old Madam Qin felt relieved.
"You kids, as long as everything is auspicious, it doesn't matter if you kowtow or something."
The eldest lady smiled and said, "Don't worry, have your meal first. After dinner, go to the old lady's room. I'll ask the maid to get a thicker cushion. Guan Zhou can kowtow as many times as he likes."
Song Guanzhou was not angry when he heard this.
Her eyes were filled with joy. "Don't worry. My daughter has been practicing the kowtow posture at home. She will surely kowtow to our old lady in a short while."
Several young men who had just joined the sect heard all these words.
The two young masters of the Yan family could not help but look at him sideways. After a moment, they said to Pei An, "Silang, your wife is really unique."
After a few jokes, he congratulated the old lady on her longevity and happiness as vast as the East Sea.
Pei An held his forehead and smiled, "I'm sorry to have made fun of you two brothers. My wife has a lively personality and was a little naughty in front of the old lady."
Having said that, I have never heard Pei An say anything bad about his wife.
Qin Qingdong chuckled and laughed, "No wonder my old lady kept talking about it after not seeing her for three days. Silang's wife is good at coaxing the old lady to like her."
How not to like it?
Old Lady Qin looked at the delicate and graceful Song Guanzhou, and thought about the day when he sat in front of her bed, calling "son" over and over again, and she responded to "mother" over and over again. Deep down in her heart, she had long regarded this fatherless and motherless girl as her own.
I had thought about asking the second son to ask about becoming the Qin family's goddaughter, but the girl in front of me was sensible and didn't have the slightest desire to curry favor with the family.
Now it seems that as long as the affection is there, being called godmother or goddaughter is just a word.
It doesn't matter.
Little did she know that such familiarity and intimacy between them shocked Wen Lingyu. From the moment Pei An accompanied Song into the house, she saw the couple.
Her own sister was often mentioned, and Wen Lingyu knew that Pei An and Song were a loving couple.
Before meeting him, she thought, in this world, there are etiquettes between men and women, no matter how loving they are, who knows? Maybe the Wen family is not bad. Although she lost her brother, she still has a sister. Compared with the Song family who has no one in her natal family, it is better for her to have no children at all.
Wen Linghuan cannot but be compared with Song Guanzhou.
Just one step away, the fourth young lady of the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion would be her, Wen Linghuan.
If the Ying family treated me better now, I would not mention the past, but it is not like this!
The fourth sister has been spending more time with her these days and often mentions Song Guanzhou.
When praising, don't be stingy with nice words.
Wen Linghuan felt even more depressed after hearing this. Wen Linghuan was carefree and didn't notice the bitterness in her heart.
In the past two days, Wen Linghuan stayed at the Qin family. Thinking of the fact that she saw Ying Xuzhen and her aunt quarreling at Ying's house, she called her and her sister and her mother to come together.
She felt a little relieved, but when she heard today that Pei An and his wife were coming to kowtow to the old lady, she became anxious.
She was about to refuse the birthday celebration, but Wen Linghuan persuaded her, "I know that you discussed marriage with the fourth young master before, but at that time, the man was unmarried and the woman was unmarried, and they had not yet settled down. You shouldn't mind it."
Girls from the Wen family should be more open-minded.
Wen Lingyu was filled with worries, "I'm worried that the young lady might not like me."
"Why do you say that, sister? Fourth sister-in-law is very easy to get along with. Sister, you have never made close friends with her. You didn't know that she has a boyish temperament and is knowledgeable and talented. There must be some truth in your words."
Such praise made Wen Lingyu even more worried.
Seeing that she was hesitant, Wen Linghuan coaxed her and said, "Could it be that Sister still can't forget the old love?"
"What the hell, you little bastard!"
It was just a marriage proposal before. If Pei An had not had tea with the young master of the Wen family, Wen Lingyu would never have met him.
——Old love is everywhere!
Only when they met did she realize that Song Guanzhou, whom she had vaguely seen at an hour ago, was actually so bright and charming. She had also seen many beauties, but to be fair, there were not many who could surpass Song Guanzhou.
Almost none.
But she has a lively personality, bright eyes and especially a good talker. Just look, in just a short while, she has made the old lady and the eldest lady smile.
Song Guanzhou..., when did he become so close to the Qin family?
This is the Crown Princess’s hometown.
Wen Linghuan was used to it. Wherever Song Guanzhou was, all the laughter and joy surrounded him, so it was not surprising.
But Wen Lingyu always looked up and saw the scene of loving mother and filial daughter.
Not mother and daughter, but better than mother and daughter.
After the meal started, at the Qin family's small banquet, there were no more red tape about not talking while eating. Not being able to sing and drink was already dull, and not being able to laugh and talk was a bit desolate.
Qin Youran and Wen Linghuan sat on the left and right sides of Wen Lingyu, taking good care of her.
There were several tables of people, young and old, men and women, all enjoying their meals.
After the banquet, everyone helped the old lady back to the main room. Her children and grandchildren sat around her. After the younger generation kowtowed to her and wished her a happy birthday, the old lady said to Qin Dalang, "You are older and the head of the family. You are the elder brother, so you should take care of them."
Qin Dalang bowed and said, "Don't worry, mother. I will take good care of you."
The old lady nodded with satisfaction, "I will stay in the house with your wife and sister. We can have a good time chatting and laughing. Please don't send anyone to disturb us later."
These words were meant for Qin Dalang to hear, but he was actually looking at Pei An.
Pei An's face turned slightly red, "Don't worry, aunt."
puff!
Qin Qingdong couldn't help laughing any longer, "Look, Ji Zhang, you are so famous for watching the boat, even mother knows about it."
Pei Anyu had a fair complexion. Under the dim candlelight, Wen Lingyu looked up and also saw that he had a smile in his eyes and flushed cheeks.
Song Guanzhou snorted, "When you and Ling Huan get married in the future, I want to see how happy you are."
Ouch!
Qin Qingdong waved his folding fan and said, "I won't argue with you in front of the old lady. Ji Zhang, my two cousins, let's go to Tanshan Pavilion with my eldest brother to have tea."
After a burst of laughter, the young men came forward one after another to bow to the old lady and Madam Qin and take their leave.
After this departure, the house finally became quiet.
The maids brought tea, fruit and snacks, and lit a charcoal brazier. Wen Linghuan looked at the brazier and was a little surprised. "Old Madam, it's not even winter yet, and you can't stand the cold?"
