Chapter 146 Peizhanzhou’s New Year Gift
After He Xiu finished saying these words, she kept observing Pei Zhanzhou's reaction silently.
She knew that the young master didn't like others talking about his affairs, but she said it on purpose because she wanted to see if the young master would stop him.
The young master was intelligent and had an excellent memory since childhood, so although he was only five years old when the incident happened, he could remember everything clearly.
From then on, the young master locked himself in the pain of that night. No one could get in, and he could not get out.
Although she couldn't let go of what happened in the past, she didn't want to see the young master's life, which should have been prosperous and smooth, ruined because of this.
Miss Jiang is the only special one in these years, and she sincerely hopes that she can help the young master.
God has eyes, and the young master's reaction gave her hope. She became more gentle and loving towards Jiang Wansang, and talked about many things about Pei Zhanzhou's childhood.
Pei Zhanzhou stood by and looked at the two of them helplessly, but never said anything to stop them.
He and Aunt He Xiu had not felt such an atmosphere for many years.
The three of them chatted happily and time passed by unknowingly. In the end, He Xiu was not feeling well and could not hold on any longer, so they went their separate ways.
Jiang Wansang had already drunk quite a bit of wine, and they chatted until so late that he fell asleep unconsciously in the carriage on the way back.
Pei Zhanzhou looked at her even breathing, was silent for a moment, suddenly bent down and gently picked her up.
His movements were very light, but Jiang Wansang had always been a light sleeper and woke up almost the moment he heard any movement.
She looked up and saw Pei Zhanzhou. Without any hesitation, she closed her eyes and fell asleep again in a few breaths.
The whole process happened very quickly. Everything was Jiang Wansang's instinctive reaction. Her brain hadn't even reacted yet.
This reaction made Pei Zhanzhou stunned for a moment, then the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and his mood became cheerful.
It was late at night and many people had already gone to bed, but the prime minister's residence was still noisy.
But this kind of noise was not part of the lively New Year's celebration, but rather seemed like something had happened.
Pei Zhanzhou didn't care about all this. He quietly took Jiang Wansang back to Tingsang Pavilion, put her on the bed, helped her take off her shoes and socks, removed her hairpins and jewelry, and covered her with a quilt.
When he did all this, his movements were very gentle, and Jiang Wansang did not react at all except for turning over during the whole process.
Pei Zhanzhou stood beside the bed and looked at her sleeping profile, his eyes becoming very gentle.
"Happy New Year."
As if afraid of waking up the sleeping person, his tone was very soft, as if it could be blown away by the wind at any time.
After saying that, he turned and left the room, closing the door quietly before leaving.
That night, Jiang Wansang slept extremely soundly, and even slept until almost noon the next day before waking up.
Seeing that she finally got up, Zheliu hurriedly brought her the toiletries.
She came back with Shen Qiuyun yesterday and fell asleep shortly after returning, so she didn't know when Jiang Wansang came back.
But since she was still sleeping, I guessed that she must have come back very late last night, so I didn't disturb her.
Now that she had finally woken up, Zhe Liu finally had the chance to speak out what he had been holding back for a long time: "Miss, do you know what big thing happened in the Prime Minister's residence last night?"
Jiang Wansang, who had just woken up, was still a little dizzy. After hearing Zhe Liu's words, he was a little slow to react. After a moment of silence, he suddenly remembered what Pei Zhanzhou had told him last night about the New Year's gift: "You'll know when you return to the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Her sleepiness was instantly dispelled by curiosity, "What happened?"
Zhe Liu was waiting for her to ask, and quickly said, "Last night, the kitchen had prepared a large, exquisite New Year's Eve dinner ready to be served, but a group of rats came out from nowhere and not only ruined the entire dinner, but also destroyed the ingredients in the kitchen."
Zhe Liu's face was full of smiles. "Fortunately, because of the New Year, we have some ingredients stored in the warehouse. Although they are not so fresh and the variety is not complete, at least we can prepare the New Year's Eve dinner."
"I heard from the servants that when the old lady saw the unpresentable New Year's Eve dinner on the table, she directly criticized the mistress in front of everyone. The master's face was not very good. If the second young lady hadn't stood up and said not to let such things ruin the New Year's mood, I'm afraid the old lady would have scolded her even more harshly."
Jiang Wansang had never expected that such a wonderful thing would happen in the Prime Minister's Mansion yesterday. She even regretted not rushing back last night to see with her own eyes the expressions on their faces when they were sitting around the table.
Jiang Wansang also smiled, but she certainly couldn't say that this was all arranged by Pei Zhanzhou. "Then they are quite unlucky."
"There's something even more unfortunate!" Zhe Liu said quickly, "Madam felt that this was the second young lady's first time celebrating the New Year at home, so she specially had someone buy the most beautiful fireworks in the imperial city and wanted to set them off for the second young lady to watch."
"The fireworks got soaked in water for some reason, so nothing worked. Finally, one worked, but when I lit it, it suddenly fell over and rushed towards where the lady and the others were standing."
"Luckily, it was just a small firework. Although it burned the master's clothes, messed up the second young lady's bun, burned the mistress's hair, and scared the old lady unconscious, but at least no one was hurt. It's really a blessing in disguise!"
She said "fortunately" but she couldn't hide the gloating on her face.
Who told them to deliberately ignore and isolate the young lady? This is retribution!
Jiang Wansang never expected that there would be such exciting things to come later, and she felt even more regretful that she couldn't see it with her own eyes last night.
Pei Zhanzhou's New Year's gift really touched her heart!
Jiang Wansang washed up as quickly as possible and ran out excitedly, "Let's go, it's New Year's Day, I have to go pay New Year's greetings to the old lady and the others!"
She ran very fast, and it didn't look like she was going to pay New Year's greetings, but rather to watch a joke.
In the past, Zhe Liu might have stopped him out of fear and worry, but now she just ran after him with her skirt lifted up, and the expression of anticipation on her face was no less than Jiang Wansang's.
The master and servant rushed to the main courtyard excitedly, but they didn't see Old Lady Jiang at all, nor did they see Jiang Gaoyuan and his wife. They only saw Jiang Zihan.
However, the first words the other party said when he saw them were not very friendly: "Jiang Wansang, were you responsible for everything that happened last night?"
Jiang Wansang: "???"
She didn't even open her mouth, so how could the blame be put on her?
Seeing that she didn't want to admit it, Jiang Zihan became even angrier. "The kitchen is cleaned every day, how could there be so many rats? You must have put them in there! And those fireworks, they were stored safely in the warehouse, how could they be soaked in water? It must have been you!"
Jiang Wansang: "..."
She looked at Jiang Zihan as if he was an idiot. "It's New Year's Day, and you're just spewing shit. Did you forget to brush your teeth when you got up?"
"you……"
"What do you mean by 'you'? You're making accusations without any evidence. Believe it or not, I'll sue you for defamation at the Dali Temple and make you spend the first day of the new year in jail!"
Jiang Zihan's face turned green, but he couldn't think of a word to refute for a long time.
She was in a depressed mood, but Jiang Wansang was in a good mood. He snorted coldly and turned around and left in a swagger.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, we should curse away those unlucky and dirty things!
