The old man asked someone to send the letter back urgently, and Song Pan'er felt very uneasy.

Ever since the old man returned to Beijing, she had vaguely had some bad thoughts.

Are they going back too?

Because she really didn't want to go back and be restrained, Song Pan'er felt worried every time she thought about it.

She didn't wait for the maid to get the paper knife, tore open the envelope and couldn't wait to read it.

After reading a few lines, I finished.

She frowned slightly.

Mother Song and others asked what was going on.

"...It's okay." Song Pan'er came back to her senses and smiled slightly, "The sixth day of February is a good day for the second wife and the third young master. The old master asked us to go back to watch the ceremony."

Does such a simple matter require urgent delivery?

Either the madam deliberately used words to confuse them, or there was something hidden in it that they didn't know about. Song's mother and Haitang didn't dare to ask any more questions, and they waited for the madam to rest again.

But Song Pan'er waved her hand, sat on the chair alone, and said to Song's mother: "Send a woman to the outer courtyard and tell Si Jian: No matter how late the third master comes home, he will come back to the inner courtyard. Let the night goers come back to the inner courtyard.

Mother-in-laws leave the door open for Third Master."

A trace of uneasiness flashed in Mother Song's eyes.

Something happened!

"Yes." She responded and went out to give instructions.

Song Pan'er was no longer sleepy. She was wearing a small silk jacket, sitting around the warm cage, and was sitting quietly in meditation.

Today is peony night.

Song Pan'er asked Song's mother and Haitang to go down and have a rest. They would have to get up to do errands tomorrow, leaving only Peony beside them.

Shaoyao brought her a cup of tea.

"Madam, you might as well lie down on the bed. Although this warm cage is not cold, your back is cold." Shaoyao persuaded Song Pan'er in a soft voice.

Song Pan'er showed a faint smile: "It doesn't matter, the third master will be back soon. You go first, I will call you if anything happens."

Shaoyao didn't dare to persuade her deeply, she said.

She didn't dare to leave, so she just stood by and refilled Song Pan'er's tea from time to time.

Going back and forth, I have refilled the tea three times, and the watch drum outside is beating again and again. It is already the second watch.

Shaoyao wanted to persuade Song Pan'er to go to sleep again, but there were faint footsteps outside.

Song Pan'er raised her eyes and looked at Shaoyao, motioning her to go out and see if the Third Master was back.

Shaoyao hurriedly walked out.

It was still raining outside, and the patter of cold rain revealed the coldness of early winter. Shaoyao shrank her thin shoulders, let her mother-in-law carry a lantern, and went to open the courtyard door in person.

Sure enough, the third master, Gu Yanzhen, is back.

He smelled of alcohol and staggered. Si Jian and another boy, Si Mo, supported him from left to right.

Shaoyao hurriedly welcomed them into the house.

Gu Yanzhen was drunk and confused.

Song Pan'er also got up from the warm cage, asked the maid to bring strong tea to Gu Yanzhen, and served him to drink it. At the same time, he ordered the maid to fetch water for washing, and at the same time ordered the mother-in-law to make some sour soup.

After drinking water, Song Pan'er personally brought him a sobering stone to hold in his mouth.

Only then did Gu Yanzhen gradually wake up.

"You don't need to drink this wine if you're happy." Song Pan'er complained, "I'll have a headache again tomorrow and won't be able to study."

Gu Yanzhen laughed.

"...You don't know why I'm so happy!" Gu Yanzhen couldn't control his tongue, and spoke loudly, "On the village near Liujiazhuang, a shrine was built for our sister Jin. It's called... What's it called Gu Qiniangniang Temple?

I have been praying to her for ten or fifteen years... before it was built, all the farmers said it was good. If you have a headache or a fever, just pray to her and it will be fine..."

His voice was full of excitement.

Song Paner was slightly stunned.

She hasn't heard of it.

Then, she held Gu Yanzhen's arm tightly and asked, "Is it true?" Her eyes were full of expectation.

Gu Yanzhen laughed loudly, hugged his wife, and said, "Of course! Our girl will leave her name forever!"

In the past, he had always thought that the highest achievement in a person's life was to be crowned king and prime minister.

It is too difficult to leave a name through the ages, and he has never even expected to do so.

But when he went to the banquet, when he heard Hu Zeyu and Qin Shensi at the banquet say that each of the dozen or so villages near Liujiazhuang had built shrines for Gu Jinzhi, the blood in his whole body was boiling.

All I could do was burst into tears.

The farmers regarded Gu Jinzhi as a life-saving Bodhisattva.

At that moment, the joy in his heart was indescribable.

It was as if he had done something great himself.

The joy brought by that sense of accomplishment is far beyond what a high-ranking official and a generous salary can match.

Therefore, Gu Yanzhen, who has always been a heavy drinker and never wanted to drink more, got drunk tonight.

Qin Shensi and Hu Zeyu paid tribute to him, and he drank the whole cup without refusing.

When he returned home, his excitement still hadn't passed. In front of a room full of maids and women, he just lifted Song Pan'er up high, causing Song Pan'er's face to turn red.

They were not so loving when they were young couples, but now...

Although she is fierce, she is also thin-faced.

Shaoyao hurriedly sent everyone out of the room and closed the inner door for them.

A rustling sound came from the inner room, and not long after, there was another low gasping sound. As Shaoyao was old, he naturally understood what it was, so he got up in embarrassment and asked the ladies to prepare hot water.

There was no rest that night. The third master in the inner room struggled three times before he gradually came to rest.

When Shaoyao helped his wife take a bath, her whole body went limp, without any strength. She leaned against Shaoyao, her face flushed, and she became indescribably bright and charming.

The wife in Shaoyao's impression was very kind to those around her, doting on the young lady and the young master, very strict with the women in charge, and very harsh with Aunt Hong and her son.

But I have never seen such a tender side of Madam.

Usually when the third master rests here, the couple has never been so wanton...

Madam and Third Master are both very happy tonight.

After bathing, the third master and his wife fell asleep, and there was no more sound in the inner room.

Only then did Shaoyao dare to sleep peacefully.

Shaoyao woke up just after Yinchu in the morning. She usually wakes up at this time every day.

Some curtains in the inner room had the sound of gold hooks hanging on them.

The lady didn't call her, she probably got up to drink tea.

Shaoyao didn't dare to knock on the inner door.

Then, she vaguely heard the voice of the third master also wanting to have tea.

Song Paner and his wife both woke up.

Thinking of what happened last night, Song Pan'er blushed now.

In the dim light of the morning light, the coquettishness she inadvertently revealed was like the color she had when she just got married, which made Gu Yanzhen feel very happy just looking at her.

He reached out and took her hand.

Song Pan'er coughed slightly and remembered what she said last night: "...I received a letter from my father immediately."

Gu Yanzhen sat down and asked, "What's going on? Has something happened in the capital?"

Whenever there is something very urgent, he will rush to deliver the letter. Gu Yanzhen had the same reaction as Song Pan'er did when he received the letter last night.

Song Pan'er took out the letter from under the pillow of the bed and gave it to him.

She got out of bed, hung up the curtain hook, and moved the candle over so that Gu Yanzhen could read the letter.

The letter was very short, and Gu Yanzhen read it quickly.

Then, he was confused: "That's it?"

Well, it all makes people feel uneasy - what if the subscription is poor after it is put on the shelves? Then the psychological gap will be even greater.
Chapter completed!
