Chapter 52 Intercession (plus more)
Su Xing took Zhou Gu out of the house to meet friends, and one of them was Jiang Xing.
Jiang Xing saw Zhou Gu, and remembered the scene of him and Su Rong swimming in Taohuaxi yesterday, and today he was accompanied by Su Xing.
Su Xing intends to test Zhou Gu, so, saying that he will make friends with literature is actually intended to test Zhou Gu.
All talented people are somewhat arrogant, and the few people who have made good friends with Su Xing are naturally not ordinary people. Therefore, this day's meeting friends through literature, from poems and songs to collections of classics and history, from astronomy and geography to ancient and modern biographies, not only Zhou Gu has seen other people's talents, but he has also shown some real chapters in order not to fall into the reputation of Duke Huguo and accompany him in the East Palace for several years.
Everyone was amazed, Zhou Gu, a son of a military general, has such a literary talent, talks and speaks well, has a good knowledge of classics and history, and also dabbles in other genres. It can be seen that he has read a lot, probably because he accompanied the East Palace, so he is quite popular.
If it was said that Zhou Gu had a high regard for him earlier because of his status, after a day, he himself was convinced.
The noble son who was pampered and raised in the Gaomen mansion turned out to be not empty, nothing else, not because he was rumored that he messed around in the study room when he was a child, and even sued His Majesty angrily, which is very impressive.
Su Xing didn't expect Zhou Gu to have real things in his stomach, and he was a little surprised, but if he was really an idiot who ran amok, how could he stay with the East Palace for many years and not be kicked out of the East Palace by the teachers of the East Palace Prince? It can be seen that he has merits and is not as rumored.
The reason why these people, including Su Xingze, think that Zhou Gu is afraid of his lack of literary talent is also because he had something to do with Xie Lin, the little prince of the Ruian Palace, who was a dandy who robbed women not long ago. Su Rong is right.
As the saying goes, good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles, so here it is.
At noon, Su Xing took Zhou Gu's lunch outside. At night, it was getting dark, and the two of them just returned home.
Zhou Gu thought to himself, he is indeed the one who can control Su Rong, but on this day, Su Xing digs out the contents of his stomach so much that he can't hide it even if he wants to.
After returning to the mansion, it was almost time for dinner. After the two of them took a bath and changed clothes, they went to the front hall.
Su Rong was caught working by the eldest lady. After a day of exhaustion, she became dizzy. In order to get rid of those ledgers, she ran to the front hall early to wait for someone, and took the opportunity to wake herself up.
So, when Zhou Gu and Su Xingze came to the front hall, they saw Su Rong sitting under the window of the front hall, with a listless head, like an eggplant beaten by frost, and the whole person smelled like I am so tired, I am exhausted, who will help me.
Su Xing paused and asked her, "Why are you sitting here?"
Su Rong said listlessly: "Tired. Take a breath."
Su Xing was speechless. If he didn't know Su Rong's virtues, he would have been deceived by her appearance. When she was a little pudding, she went to the Hebei Grassland with the Zhenwei Escort, and came back a few months ago.
But Zhou Gu didn't understand, he was deceived by Su Rong's appearance, and seeing her tired, listless and energyless expression like a sun-dried little cabbage, he couldn't bear it, "Is Aunt Su very strict? You study very hard?"
Su Rong nodded, "Mother is very strict."
Zhou Gu was actually a little tired, while Su Xing stayed with him for a day, which was more tiring than him and Su Rong's three-day tour of the mountains and rivers. It was really tiring, but it also gained a lot. To be honest, the few people who have made friends with Su Xingze do have real things in their stomachs, and their personalities seem to be passable, worthy of friendship. Among them, Jiang Xing has the best literary talent.
Zhou Gu asked Su Xingze tentatively: "Actually, Auntie doesn't need to be too strict, what does Brother Su think?"
Su Xing smiled lightly, "Be stricter, it will be better for her in the future, so that the housekeeper will not make a mess in the future."
Zhou Gu looked at Su Rong pitifully, and almost blurted out the words "I will help her in the future", but fortunately he was vigilant, so he didn't say it out, and said in his heart that he was very dangerous, and suddenly he didn't feel sorry for Su Rong, and said to her: "Then bear with it, there is nothing you can do about it."
Su Rong: "..."
The main reason why she sits here on purpose is to make Zhou Gu feel sorry for him, what the **** is it that makes her bear it?
She looked at Zhou Gu sadly, and asked him, "Zhou Gu, did you have a good time today?"
In front of Su Xingze, Zhou Gu couldn't say he was unhappy, so he nodded, "Well, happy."
Su Rong sighed, and slowly stood up, "Just be happy."
By implication, I'm not happy, it's okay, right?
Zhou Gu understood, rubbed his nose, thinking how about when he was having dinner later, he would politely mention to the eldest lady, let her relax a little, and don't be too strict? He is the fourth in the house. There are grandmother and mother in the inner house, as well as the eldest sister-in-law, the second sister-in-law, and the third sister-in-law who will marry in the future. She is the youngest, and she only has her own small yard, so there is really no need to worry too much.
At this moment, Zhou Gu has not realized that he has not resisted marrying Su Rong in the past few days since he resisted in front of the old Hu Guogong.
Everyone in the front hall has already taken their seats, only waiting for Zhou Gu and Su Xingze.
Su Rong was still sitting next to Zhou Gu, as if he had lost the energy to eat, so Zhou Gu took two bites, then turned his head to look at her, "Why don't you eat?"
"Tired." Su Rong was indeed somewhat tired, but not to the point where he didn't even have the strength to hold chopsticks.
Zhou Gu was silent for a moment, then turned his head and said tactfully to the eldest lady who was watching: "Auntie, learning to run a family is not a one-day job, how about being a little more broad?"
The lady thought to herself, Su Rong didn't learn to be a housekeeper, but she was looking for errors in her account books. In a day's work, she found four or five stewards, from the shop to the village to the grandparents in the mansion. It was nothing more than pressing her to work.
But of course she wouldn't say it openly, except for her, Yue Wan, and Wang Ma, no one in the mansion knew what Su Rong was doing that day, even the exiled housekeepers didn't know why she saw so many problems all at once, thinking that she had been saving it for them all the time, and saved it for teaching Seventh Miss to learn how to run a house.
She coughed, "What Nephew Zhou Xian said is true, I also think it's too late, so how about it, starting tomorrow, I will only study for half a day."
This is today’s update, see you tomorrow~
