The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 140

At this moment, Qi Yueniang looked at the incomparably beautiful woman in front of her and swallowed too many sighs. After Song Guanzhou finished dressing up, Rendong came in and asked, "Madam, is the meal placed inside or outside?"

Qi Yueniang cried out, "You haven't eaten yet?"

Honeysuckle continued, "Madam, you may not know that the food was brought in early. Fortunately, there is a small kitchen and the food is cooked by the fire. Otherwise, with how sleepy our Madam is, it would have been cold long ago."

"Tsk tsk!"

Qi Yueniang stretched out her finger and gently poked Song Guanzhou's smooth and full forehead, "It turns out that mother doesn't care, you are not so wanton."

Song Guanzhou took her hand and stood up, took her hand and walked out of the inner room. Seeing that the sun was shining brightly outside, he pointed to the grape trellis and said, "It's right there. Serve some fresh milk sweet tea for my sister-in-law, prepare the bowls and chopsticks, and have a meal with me."

Qi Yueniang quickly waved her hands.

"I've eaten in the house, so I can't eat any more now. Just eat, and I'll talk to you."

Song Guanzhou didn't force it. He leaned back on the recliner, fanning himself with a round fan and waiting for dinner to be served.

Qi Yueniang sat opposite her, drinking tea and thinking for a while before asking, "After the two elders passed away, are there any side relatives who still come to visit?"

Song Guanzhou stopped fanning himself, pondered for a moment, and shook his head.

"Brother, there has been no news for more than a year since my father passed away. My father and mother are both widows, and the family has dwindled. I haven't heard of any relatives."

When Qi Yue Niang heard this, she couldn't help but feel sympathy and pity.

She is only eighteen or nineteen years old, and now she is really alone. Fortunately, her husband's family is here, otherwise where would she go to complain if she suffered any grievances?

"You don't have any contact with the relatives on the other side of your mother-in-law's side?"

Qi Yueniang thought of the Xu brothers and sisters she met on the road, and could not help asking again. Song Guanzhou quickly flipped through the original work and the memories of the cannon fodder's original wife, and finally shook his head in confusion.

The lonely cannon fodder original wife has no relatives at all!

"My mother was my grandfather's only child. After my mother passed away, the other branches moved far away from each other. By my generation, we had no contact with each other. I'm afraid we wouldn't recognize each other if we met."

Qi Yueniang lamented, "...Fortunately, the fourth brother treats you well."

After a brief silence, Song Guanzhou began to eat voraciously. Qi Yueniang watched her eating so fast, but she couldn't find any fault with her manners, so she was still a little stunned.

It took him a long time to come back to his senses and mention the Xu brothers and sisters.

Song Guanzhou swallowed a big mouthful of food without realizing it, and when he came to his senses, he almost choked.

Ren Dong quickly served the soup to him. After a few sips of soup, Song Guanzhou finally calmed down. He grabbed the handkerchief handed to him by the maid, wiped the residue from the corner of his lips, and then frowned and asked in disbelief, "Are they... my mother's cousins?"

"Yes, the brother and sister are kind and gentle. The younger sister of the Xu family looks about four or five percent like you. It is said that she is the child of your mother's cousin."

Song Guanzhou blinked his eyes, his mind in a mess.

——There are actually relatives?

"You eat first, I'll tell you slowly." Qi Yueniang comforted Song Guanzhou, "I don't know much about the Xu family's relatives, but after a few days of getting along, I know a general idea. The Xu brothers and sisters are pitiful now. It is said that their mother passed away early, and their father also died of illness last year, leaving behind a second wife and a brother who was born later. It can be said that they are not close. This cousin of the Xu family came to the capital this year to attend the special examination held by the emperor. He was worried about his sister being alone at home, so he simply brought her along."

"Sister-in-law, are they in the capital?"

Song Guanzhou put down his chopsticks and looked at Qi Yueniang.

"We separated just before entering the capital. They said they were going to seek refuge with their uncle and would come to visit you later when they had time."

Song Guanzhou managed to find a name, "I vaguely remember having a cousin. I met him once when I was a child. His name was Xu Lingbai."

"Yes, that's the name."

Qi Yueniang smiled and said, "He is also a handsome man, maybe not as tall as the fourth brother, but he has a handsome face, is elegant and easy-going, and knows some Huangqi techniques. He is a good husband."

Xu family?

Song Guanzhou said suddenly, "When mother was alive, the Xu family had already declined, and now it is probably no longer as glorious as before."

"To be honest, after spending a few days together, I found that the Xu brothers and sisters are not very good at handling money. I think either the family has some wealth, but it is controlled by the second wife, or -"

Qi Yueniang swallowed her last words, and Song Guanzhou naturally knew what she meant.

"Never mind. After they settle down in a few days, they will come to your house naturally. I will ask them a few more questions then. I want to thank you, sister-in-law, for taking care of you along the way."

Qi Yueniang laughed and said, "Why are you being polite to me? It was my cousin from the Xu family who helped me out of my urgent need. Otherwise, if Qin'er's fever continued and something happened, I would not be able to survive."

Everyone knows that she is counting on Qin Ge'er for her whole life.

The two sisters-in-law chatted and laughed, and finally Qi Yueniang stood up to say goodbye. Song Guanzhou wanted her to stay for a while, and she said sincerely, "But I can't do that. Now that I'm back, I haven't been to my second uncle's place before. In addition, your second sister-in-law is too cruel. I just came back and she has caused me a lot of trouble."

"That's because my sister-in-law is kind and capable."

After seeing the guests off, Song Guanzhou was too lazy to move, so he simply leaned back in the recliner, quietly recalling his original body's relatives.

Xu Lingbai, who seemed to be a little fat boy, had fought with his original body.

Both sides were hurt, he cried bitterly, and there was no news of him since then.

It's not that the relationship between relatives is weak, but the original mother was in poor health, and she followed her father to serve as an official in various places. When she returned to the capital in the last few years and was appointed as a Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy, she had little contact with the original Xu family.

The original body was ignorant of worldly affairs and could not remember many things.

My own marriage, my mother's funeral, my father's death, one thing after another, I didn't care about who I interacted with, it was all my adoptive brother who worried about me.

Hey!

What a big heart!

He was so heartless. No wonder no one visited him in prison and he died so miserably.

When Pei An came back, Song Guanzhou said to him, "It's rare for me, Song Guanzhou, to have a relative come to visit..." She was still joking. Pei An took the towel handed to him by Ren Dong, wiped his face and hands, and said seriously, "If they are here to visit, you don't have to be polite. You can help each other if there is any inconvenience. If there is any other inconvenience, you can stay at the mansion. It won't be too late to discuss whether to stay or leave after the emperor's special examination begins."

The Xu family was once a well-known farming and reading family, but the change of dynasties and their rise and fall were unstoppable.

Now the population has dwindled and we have disappeared into this world, but I think that the family tradition should not be lost.

Song Guanzhou lay on his back and laughed, "Aren't you afraid that my poor relatives will refuse to leave?"

Pei An knew she was joking, and reached out to pinch her nose, "Nonsense, I know better than you where the Xu family came from." Then, he tried to push Song Guanzhou away, "It's early summer, you're sticking to me like this, aren't you hot?"

Song Guanzhou was like a boneless man and couldn't get up.

"Silang, my sister-in-law said that the girl from the Xu family looks about 50% like me. I'm very curious."
