Chapter 342 Lively (second update)
After greeting each other, everyone sat down.
The surprise on Zhao Shu's face turned into fright. He sat down for a long time, but he didn't come back to his senses. Facing Su Rong, he didn't know what to say.
Lu Fengyan and Su Xingze were familiar with each other, and they appreciated each other, but they quickly started talking.
Lu Weiran doesn't seem to know what to say to Su Rong. He and Su Rong have only met each other once or twice. Today, he is here to accompany Lu Fengyan. He is afraid that he will be arrested as a son-in-law. With him, the eldest son of Chengguo's mansion, at least he can protect him and no one dares to touch him.
Although Su Rong was much more energetic today, she didn't have much thought of chatting with others, so she drank tea and listened to Lu Fengyan and Su Xingze talking.
After a while, Zhao Shu couldn't hold back and asked Su Rong, "Well, Miss Su Qi, I heard that you are the princess of Nanchu?"
Su Rong thought to herself, this is really a well-known secret, she smiled and nodded, "That's right."
Zhao Shu asked: "It is said that the king of Nanchu has no heirs. Will you go to Nanchu to fight for the throne?"
He knew that the situation in the Southern Chu Dynasty was very chaotic now, and the clans were fighting openly and secretly for the position of Crown Prince. As the only heir of the King of Southern Chu, if she wanted to return to Southern Chu to inherit the crown prince, she had to fight for it.
"meeting."
Zhao Shu took a deep breath, glanced at Lu Weiran, and asked tentatively: "Is the second son of Nanchu Yexiangfu here to pick you up?"
"Um."
Zhao Shu opened up the chatter box, and seeing that Su Rong would answer his questions, he was not so restrained, and calmed down, "Miss Su Qi, then are you leaving Daliang soon and going to Nanchu? I heard that the second son of the Yexiang Mansion will leave soon."
"He's leaving first, I'm not in such a hurry." Su Rong said.
Zhao Shu nodded, still wanted to ask something, suddenly glanced downstairs, "Huh?" and said in surprise, "Young master Zhou also came here."
Su Rong turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw Zhou Gu entering the teahouse, followed by Zi Ye.
Zhao Shu asked everyone, "Only Mr. Zhou and his guards, should I ask him if he will come here with us?"
Lu Weiran didn't speak.
Su Xing glanced at Su Rong, saw that she didn't speak, and said: "This private room was booked by Brother Lu and Brother Zhao, so naturally you make the decisions."
Zhao Shu heard this, and looked at Su Rong again. He hadn't forgotten that Zhou Gu and Su Rong were engaged and divorced in the past. However, it is said that even after the divorce, Duke Huguo's mansion and the Su family did not become enemies, the two mansions still moved around, and Su Rong even rescued Zhou Gu a few days ago.
Lu Fengyan also looked at Su Rong.
Su Rong couldn't help laughing, "What do you all see me doing? Since everyone knows each other, please come up!"
So, Zhao Shu scratched his head and went downstairs to invite Zhou Gu.
Zhou Gu came to this teahouse because when he passed by the door, he saw the carriage of Su Mansion, guessed that Su Xingze and Su Rong were about here, so he got off the horse and entered the teahouse.
Zhao Shu greeted him downstairs and announced his invitation. Zhou Gu nodded and followed Zhao Shu upstairs.
After another salute, Zhou Gu glanced at the empty seat next to Lu Weiran and the empty seat next to Su Rong, and naturally sat down on the empty seat next to Su Rong.
Lu Weiran paused for a moment.
Su Rong didn't get up to say hello to Zhou Gu at all. When he saw him sitting over, he didn't look at him, didn't want to pay attention to him, and drank tea by himself.
Zhou Gu glanced at the tea in her hand, and greeted her, "How do you drink this?"
"No way." Zhou Gu explained, "Yesterday I heard from my aunt that you are suffering from the cold and your appetite is unwell, so don't drink this tea. It's better to ask the waiter to make you a pot of jujube tea."
Su Rong scoffed lightly, "I didn't expect you to be considerate."
These words are a bit yin and yang.
Zhou Gu heard it, and kept silent, "I wouldn't do it at first, but during the recovery period, I have nothing to do, so I read a few more drawing books."
Su Rong didn't buy it, "I'm already healed, I don't need jujube tea, I just like this."
Zhou Gu looked at her suspiciously, then nodded, "Well, you can drink this!"
He turned his head and talked to Su Xingze naturally, "I have been to Dongsi Hutong, and I thought I would wait for the list with Brother Su, but my aunt said that Brother Su and Xiao Qi had left the house early to see the list, so I came here too."
Su Xing answered, "I thought you were going to wait for the list at home today."
After all, Zhou Gu is a person who wants to leave the capital to travel after the results are released, and he will not participate in the Palace Examination and Qionglin Banquet. He was just waiting for a place. It's not like people like them who value this scientific examination very much and want to know the ranking as soon as possible.
Zhou Gu shook his head, "It's boring to stay at home, so I'm here."
Su Xing nodded.
Everyone drank tea and talked for a while, and people from downstairs entered the building one after another. Zhao Shu said "Hey", "Xie Xiaowang is here too."
He didn't need to ask others this time, so he stood up, "I'll go down and thank the little prince for coming up with us."
After he finished speaking, he went downstairs.
Not long after, Xie Lin was led up by him, Xie Lin saw the people sitting in the private room, and was immediately happy, "I saw Brother Su's car and Zhou Gu's horse, so I came in, but I didn't expect so many acquaintances, what a coincidence."
He greeted Su Rong happily, "Good morning, Miss Seven."
Su Rong saw that he was wearing brand-new clothes, and he looked very fresh in this winter, "Good morning, little prince, is King Rui'an recovering from his illness?"
Xie Lin covered his lips and coughed, "My royal father, he is recovering soon."
Originally, he was not sick and pretended to be sick, but on the day when Concubine Baozheng was exposed, he followed His Majesty to the dungeon, back and forth, the night was cold and windy, after a whole night of tossing, he really fell ill the next day.
Su Rong poured him a cup of tea with his own hands, and commented, "Hey, King Rui'an has worked so hard."
"Isn't it?" Zhou Gu sat next to Lu Weiran, "Huh?" He said, "Lu Shizi, why are you here?"
Lu Weiran has already entered the court as an official, so it stands to reason that he would not wait for the list with them.
Lu Weiran smiled and said, "I am accompanying Feng Yan to wait for the list."
Xie Lin came to a sudden, slapped his head, and said to Lu Fengyan: "I forgot that the Lu family in western Sichuan and Cheng Guogong's family are the same family. Brother Lu, you also have a backer, and you are not afraid of being arrested by the list."
Lu Feng smiled, "Indeed, my cousin said he wanted to watch the list with me, how could I take my cousin's kindness into consideration?"
"That's true."
Xie Lin is also a talkative and lively person. As long as he is around, there will be no shortage of excitement. He quickly chatted with Lu Fengyan, Zhao Shu and others.
joined him, the private room was crowded and very lively.
Su Rong listened quietly, drank tea quietly, occasionally looked out of the window, the street was still overcrowded, thinking that if she waited to see the list today, she might have to wait for half a day.
Zhou Gu took out a Jiulianhuan from his sleeve and handed it to her, "Aren't you bored? Play with this."
