Chapter 53 is really good (one more)
Zhou Gu thinks studying for half a day is good, Su Rong should not be tired.
He turned to her and said, "Let's eat. If you're too tired to move, let Yuewan feed you?"
The eldest lady thought what a good guy, and even said the words about feeding.
Prefect Su chuckled, very happy in his heart, and kept nodding his head, thinking that Zhou Gu would love others despite his young age.
The aunts and concubines sighed in their hearts. Thinking about it, I really didn't realize that Young Master Zhou is really a caring person? It doesn't look like he's cheating like this, and besides, in his capacity, there's no need to pretend to love Su Rong.
Only Su Xing said indifferently, "Su Rong, eat!"
Su Rong slowly picked up the chopsticks, turned her head and smiled at Zhou Gu, and said softly, "Zhou Gu, you are so kind."
Zhou Gu's face turned red. He had never done such a trivial thing to intercede for others in front of everyone. He was a little embarrassed for a while, and stopped talking.
After dinner, it was already dark, but because it was sixteen and the moon was high, it illuminated the ground very brightly.
Su Rong said to Consultant Zhou: "Are you going out tomorrow?"
Zhou Gudao: "Listening to Brother Su's arrangement, today is very interesting, quite rewarding, and benefited a lot."
Su Xing heard the words and said: "In this case, let's go to Wenhui Building tomorrow! Regarding the golden autumn scientific examination, there are gentlemen from the Academy who are betting on the test in Wenhui Building, and we will go and have a look tomorrow."
"Are you betting on the question openly?" Zhou Gu is okay if he has never heard of it.
"Well, this is Jiang Ning's long-standing tradition, but he failed to bet for several consecutive rounds." Su Xing said: "It's a fun thing, it's okay to go and see."
Zhou Gu nodded, and he just said, if he openly bet on the question, how many candidates would stand out? The Taishan Big Dippers who came up with the question from the imperial court probably couldn't sit still and came to Jiangning long ago.
Everyone went out of the front hall and went to each courtyard. When they parted at the fork in the road, Su Rong was a little reluctant to part with Zhou Gu. After all, they hadn't seen each other for a day. "Zhou Gu, are you tired? The moonlight is so beautiful, do you want to take a walk?"
Zhou Gu shook his head, "Walking? Aren't you tired?"
Su Rong pointed to his stomach, "Even if I'm tired, I have to digest before going to sleep."
Zhou Gu nodded, "Yes, then, let's take a walk!"
Su Xing glanced at the two of them, turned around and left without stopping them.
The two of them walked around the waterside pavilion, Zhou Gu and Su Rong talked about who they met with Su Xing today, and especially commented on Jiang Xing, "If there is no accident, your elder brother can get into the first class, and Jiang Xing's second class will definitely be fine. As for the others, they should all be able to get into the third class."
Su Rong nodded, "My elder brother has always been very good. He studied with Uncle Xie. Two years ago, he was awarded by the head of Yunshan Academy
Please go to Yunshan to help students. Jiang Xing is also very good, although he is slightly inferior to my elder brother, but his foundation is solid, his literary talent is spiritual, and if he performs supernormally, he may be even better. "
Zhou Gu was surprised, "How do you know the basics so well?"
"Of course I know. I used to have no money to spend, so I stole my elder brother's manuscripts and sold them for money. Later, Jiang Xing found out, and he also sold his own poems for me. In order to sell them at a high price, I naturally had to spend a lot of effort. The two of them have such a talent now, especially my elder brother, whose talent has spread far and wide, and I have some credit for publicizing it."
Zhou Gu: "..."
Su Rong looked at his expression, guessed the slander in his heart, and said helplessly: "I can't help it. My monthly allowance is so much. My mother said she would save us a dowry when we were very young. Each of us sisters is two taels of silver a month. I like to go out to play. How can two taels of silver be possible? I can only find another way."
Zhou Gu commented, "Your way of finding a different way is really ingenious. Did your elder brother beat you?"
Su Rongxiao, "No, but after he found out, he sent guards to guard his study, which is more heavily guarded than my father's study."
Zhou Gu finally understood why there were so many guards in Su Xingze's study, he admired him very much, "You are also amazing."
He looked at Su Rong, "How did Jiang Xing know? He is willing to help you with his poems?"
"Once he met me in Wenhui Building. I was selling my elder brother's manuscripts of poems to someone, and he caught me." Su Rong thought that anyway, Chen Zhou had revealed so many things about her, and she didn't see that Zhou Gu hated her, so she didn't feel afraid. I am short of silver."
Zhou Gu laughed, "So, how many manuscripts have you sold?"
Su Rong scratched his head, "Just, a dozen articles!"
Actually dozens of articles.
Zhou Gu didn't believe it, "Really more than a dozen?"
Su Rong was helpless, "Okay, let me tell the truth, there are dozens of articles."
"So much? How much silver did you sell?" Zhou Gu was shocked.
"It's as many as a hundred taels, and as little as tens of taels. I haven't calculated it specifically. He said that he would repay me for saving him from being chased by vicious dogs, so I would not be polite."
Zhou Gu didn't know what to say, "You sold so much money, what did you do?"
Su Rong wanted to say that she has raised people, many people, but she couldn't say anything about it, so she could only say: "I'm eating, drinking and having fun."
Zhou Gu looked at Su Rong with an expression of "You can really make it", and asked her, "Are you still short of money now?"
"There is no shortage." Su Rong shook her head, the people she raised have become self-reliant, not only can support themselves, but also earn money to support her, the crow will pay back, she is really not short of money now.
"Why are there no shortages now? You won't be selling Jiang Xing's poems all the time, right?"
"No, I stopped selling it two years ago." Su Rong shook her head, and picked up a reason and said, "Brother subsidizes me privately, giving me fifty taels of silver a month, and I don't need to sell poetry manuscripts anymore."
Zhou Gu tutted, "Fifty taels of silver is a lot."
"Yeah, my elder brother is amazing. He went to Yunshan Academy to help his students, and he took Shuxiu. He can earn a hundred taels a month, and give me fifty taels." Su Rong mentioned this, and she felt that her elder brother was unique.
You know, ordinary people can't spend two taels of silver a month, but Su Xing only gives her fifty taels of silver a month. The rest of the sisters didn't get this kind of treatment. After the eldest lady found out, she privately scolded Su Xingze for raising him for such a big age, and didn't respect her as a mother. Those sisters were all picked up, except Su Rong, who was a relative.
Su Xing was so kind to her that even the eldest lady was jealous.
"Have you saved up your dowry?" Zhou Gu asked suddenly.
"No." Su Rong shook her head, "I've been so good at making things all these years, I lost half of the dowry my mother saved for me, and now my mother will save it for me again."
"How did you even lose the dowry?" Zhou Gu was shocked, "Didn't you spend fifty taels of silver a month?"
