Chapter 383 A Happy Event in the Family
Song Ci comforted her, "The emperor didn't blame Pei Ji. He was the one who said it. The emperor said that he would only strip his father of his title, but would not harm him."
Qiao Xianglan nodded, "That's great."
Originally thinking that with more people there would be more troublesome things, Song Ci began to deal with them.
The steward said: "Servants? Lord Pei has already bought a group of servants and trained them in the mansion in advance, in case of emergency."
Song Ci was stunned.
Steward: "Courtyard? There are many courtyards in the house. Lord Pei has already arranged it. Each master will have his own courtyard, so there will be no noise or disturbance."
Song Ci was stunned again.
Steward: "The master has prepared the ingredients for the kitchen in advance. Now it is impossible to buy food and vegetables outside. Oh, and the master also dug an ice cellar, saying that the young lady is afraid of the heat."
Song Dynasty porcelain has become numb.
Wanxiang and Tianer smiled happily.
Wanxiang: "Young Madam, the adults have thought of it for you."
Tian'er: "I thought it would be very busy, but it turns out there's nothing for us to do at all."
Song Ci heard the teasing in their voices. She glared at them and told the steward, "Since everything is ready, you can go down first."
The steward said respectfully, "Young Madam, whatever arrangements you have, the servants will obey your orders."
After saying that, he left.
After leaving the Pei family, Song Ci lost a large number of managers and servants. She wanted to use this opportunity to train a group of her own people. She could use people she had trained herself, and she could trust them. Pei Ji had thought of all this for her.
Thinking of Pei Ji's care, she felt warm in her heart.
The next day.
Song Ci accompanied Qiao Xianglan and Song Lao San for breakfast. Pei Ji walked into the room and first looked at Song Lao San, his father-in-law, before sitting down and saying, "It's completely chaotic outside."
Song Ci paused, "How chaotic has it become?"
Pei Ji: "The Emperor has sent out the Imperial Guards to quell the situation, but with little success."
Song Ci felt nervous. The Imperial Guards were the emperor's confidants. Now that they were all dispatched, one could imagine what chaos the entire capital was in.
Pei Ji: "Many families were robbed, and some were not only robbed, but everyone died overnight."
Now, no one was in the mood to have breakfast.
Qiao Xianglan: "What a sin."
Song Laosan shook his wife's hand.
Song Ci said nervously, "You shouldn't have to go out."
Pei Ji said, "The emperor needs me. It's urgent. I have to protect him."
Song Ci sensed something was wrong and said hurriedly, "They are actually going to attack the emperor, right?" His tone was filled with surprise and doubt.
Pei Ji comforted her, "Maybe the situation is not as bad as you think."
Song Ci felt that things might be much worse than she thought.
In the following days, all the members of the Song family lived together, including Qiao Suo and the two uncles of the Qiao family who had not left home yet.
Qiao Suo seemed to have grown up in an instant, and was busy accompanying Song Ci and Qiao Xianglan to distribute porridge nearby.
The number of refugees in Beijing has increased dramatically, and with food prices rising, vegetables are almost unavailable, and everyone is in danger.
There is still plenty of food in the kitchen, but the vegetables, meat, etc. are only enough for the family.
Pei Ji prepared more and even opened up an area in the backyard to raise some chickens, ducks and fish.
This is enough food for the whole family.
"Miss, you are so kind. If it weren't for you, we would have starved to death."
The woman's face was full of wrinkles, and her messy hair covered most of her face. Her voice was choked with sobs, and tears mixed with the dirt on her face flowed down and fell into the bowl of porridge in her hand.
Qiao Suo's throat felt like a large ball of cotton was stuffed in it, making her uncomfortable and unable to speak.
Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Song Ci took the spoon from her hand and advised: "You go and rest first, let me do it here."
Qiao Su nodded dazedly and walked aside.
Qiao Xianglan, who was helping Song Ci, sighed, "She's young and has never seen anything like this before. She must be terrified."
Who isn't afraid?
There were dead bodies everywhere. If the streets and alleys had not been cleaned up, for fear that the corpses would cause a plague, I am afraid that the capital would be littered with corpses.
Qiao Suo fell silent and became more calm in his actions.
Song Ci noticed some changes in her, but didn't know how to comfort her.
After all, everyone has his or her own proposition and growth, which he or she needs to face alone.
Song Ci cares about the entire Song family. Although Qiao Rui has changed a lot, no one has noticed that something unexpected is about to happen.
As autumn approached, the turbulent situation in the capital finally ushered in a brief period of peace.
The solemnity between Pei Ji's brows dissipated a lot. He accompanied Song Ci in the yard to look at the account book. Song Ci tilted his head to look at it carefully, and took a small sip of tea from time to time.
When the tea is gone, he tells someone to refill it.
Just as Wanxiang was about to raise her hand to take it, she was interrupted by Pei Ji. He personally went to make tea for Song Ci and sat down again.
The tea is a different temperature than usual when you drink it.
Song Ci was surprised, "Wanxiang, this tea is a little different today. It doesn't seem to be your usual craftsmanship."
Everyone has different habits. Evening fragrance tea is always brewed at the right temperature, not too cold or too hot, but today's cup is obviously warmer.
Wanxiang smiled, and laughed at Song Ci who was so focused that he didn't notice at all.
"It's the tea that the uncle made for you, Madam. Naturally it's different."
Song Ci raised her eyes and smiled. Pei Ji always drank tea at a higher temperature. This was a habit he kept.
"It's autumn now, and the temperature is dropping. You can drink it a little hotter, otherwise it will get cold quickly."
Wanxiang thought to herself that her son-in-law was really meticulous and took note of it silently.
Song Ci closed the account book and said, "There are no mistakes or omissions in this account book. These people are doing a good job."
Pei Ji: "You work very seriously."
The serious Song Ci was so beautiful that she couldn't take her eyes off him, and Pei Ji spent an entire hour looking at her.
Song Ci blinked, "I didn't do my job seriously that day."
Pei Ji laughed, "That's true. I made a mistake and offended Madam."
The two of them were chatting and joking. Song Lan and Qiao Yu, who were walking to the door not far away, were in a dilemma whether to go in or not.
Qiao Yu: "Uncle-in-law is really good to Sister Song."
Song Lan glanced at her and asked, "Am I not good to you?"
Qiao Yu was amused by his childishness and said, "Okay, okay, you're good too."
Song Lan pretended to be angry, "Why can't you see how good I am to you?"
Qiao Yu squeezed his hand tightly. "We still have a lot of time, a lifetime. You can show me your good side."
A lifetime is a heavy word. Song Lan was very happy when he thought about being with Qiao Yu for the rest of his life.
Song Ci: "Brother, sister-in-law, why are you here? Come in and sit down."
Qiao Yu and Song Lan walked in. Just as Qiao Yu was about to sit down, Song Lan hurriedly put a cushion under her. Her cautious look made Song Ci make a bold guess.
Song Ci: "Sister-in-law, could it be... that you have good news?"
Song Lan said proudly, "I came here today to tell you the good news. You are about to have a niece."
Song Ci: "How do you know she's a niece and not a nephew?"
