Chapter 54 Surprise (plus more)
Su Rong was confident and confident, pointing to his forehead, "I always fight with people and get injured, it costs a lot of medical expenses."
Seeing Zhou Gu looking at her, he said again: "Before you came to Jiangning, didn't my forehead get scratched in a fight with Chen Zhou? I was afraid of getting scars, so I used a bottle of cream with a thousand gold coins. The money came from the dowry saved for me."
Zhou Gu remembered that she had mentioned it, and was speechless, "It's really embarrassing for Aunt Su."
If his mother had such a prodigal daughter, she probably wouldn't have been well-bred by the eldest lady, but she still spoiled her all the time, and she would have been beaten to death long ago.
Su Rong sighed. What she didn't say was that there was a reason for her spending on medical expenses. It was not as simple as fighting with others. She was often assassinated. In order not to worry people, she could only cause trouble and fight with others to cover it up. It's better to tell the lady that I got into a fight with someone for some reason today than to tell her that I was almost killed again today, right? At least it won't scare her, so she will be locked up in the mansion and not let her go out to **** her.
"Have you saved enough for your dowry?" Consultant Zhou.
"Have you saved enough?" Su Rong wasn't too sure, she didn't have the nerve to say that she still planned to only carry the sedan chair.
"Then why don't you fight less in the future?" Zhou Gu originally wanted to say, "Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't have enough dowry." But he felt that this was wrong, so he changed his words, "Let Aunt Su worry less!"
Su Rong nodded, "All right!"
Anyway, after she practiced in winter and summer and in summer, her skills can no longer be killed by ordinary people, and those who want to kill her, as long as she does not come out of Jiangning, she will not brazenly send a large number of people to kill him, and she doesn't need to hurt herself all the time.
She asked: "Shall we go back and rest?"
Zhou Gu nodded.
Su Rong walked into his own yard, Zhou Gu was in the opposite direction to her, after walking a few steps, he turned his head to look at her, saw her slender figure in the night, the moonlight shining on her, the color was gentle, if you just look at her like this, no matter how you look at it, the years are so peaceful, but her temperament has nothing to do with her appearance, he smiled and turned back.
Su Rong also turned back after he turned back, and saw Zhou Gu's tall figure standing in the distance, the moonlight and flowing water, the young man's body was covered with moonlight, and his body was full of brilliance. His unique style made people unable to take their eyes off. She thought, Zhou Gu is really kind, she wondered if she would be lucky enough to marry him.
Zhou Gu's letter was sent to Donggong Crown Prince Yan Huisheng two days later.
At this time, only one day after he sent someone to deliver a message, Yan Huisheng had arranged for a thorough investigation of the Nanping Hou Mansion and Jiangzhou Governor's Mansion, and now he received Zhou Gu's letter, as well as the Nanping Hou Shizi Ning Chi's letter and token along with his letter. He was quite surprised.
"Your Highness, quickly open the letter and see what that kid wrote in the letter?" Qin Taifu was in the process.
After reading the letter with Yan Huisheng, Taifu Qin was a little happy, "I thought this kid was out of tune, but I didn't expect to leave the capital and go to Jiangning, but he was in tune, knowing that he has recruited talents for His Highness."
Yan echoed and laughed, "Teacher, you always have too high demands on Zhou Gu. Over the years, Zhou Gu complained that he never heard you praise him."
Teacher's beard cocked up, "The old minister is afraid of complimenting him, so his tail is up to the sky."
Yan Hui shook his head with a smile, picked up Ningchi's jade tablet, took a look at it, put it down, and asked Qin Taifu: "According to Taifu's opinion, how should we deal with this matter?"
"Since Ning Shizi sincerely seeks refuge, His Highness naturally wants to accept him. But first of all, we must help Ning Shizi break the situation, so that he will no longer be restrained by the Marquis of Nanping, so that he can use his fists to help His Highness." Qin Taifu stroked his beard, "Last time His Highness was assassinated in Jiangning, and the clue pointed to Jiangzhou Governor. You didn't touch Jiang Sheng because you wanted to find out the mastermind behind the scenes. Now that you have Zhou Gu's letter, you don't need to look it up. Son. In this case, if you don’t move Jiang Sheng first, it will naturally break the situation that Ning Shizi does not want to marry Jiang Sheng’s daughter. First, it will solve his predicament, and second, it will take the opportunity to bring Jiangzhou into your hands.”
Yan echoed and nodded, "It's easy to move Jiang Sheng, just show the clues and evidence that Gu was assassinated. But after Jiang Sheng moves, who will succeed Jiangzhou Governor?"
"Jiangning prefect Su Xu has been in Jiangning for more than ten years, should he move a little bit? You can't retire from the position of Jiangning prefect."
"Su Xu is not self-motivated, and seems to be planning to die of Jiang Ning." Yan Hui echoed for a moment, "However, I am also curious. The old Duke actually ordered Zhou Gu's concubine daughter. I don't know if there is something wrong here."
"The old Duke has a strict mouth, and even Zhou Gu didn't tell the reason. I'm afraid it's not simple. Now that the news of the marriage contract between Duke Huguo's Mansion and Su Taishou's Mansion has spread, even His Majesty seems a little shocked." Taifu Qin said: "The old minister has sent people to investigate recently, but nothing has been found so far."
Yan echoed and nodded, "Although the father suppressed Gu, he did not restrict the contact between Duke Huguo and Gu."
Qin Taifu sighed, "Your Majesty is getting more and more..."
He wanted to say something, but he knew something well, so he didn't need to say any more, so he simply shut up and continued: "However, no matter what the inside story is, it is a fact that the Huguogong's Mansion and the Prefect's Mansion have a marriage contract. If you take the opportunity to mention Su Xu at this time, His Majesty will definitely not object. Moreover, although Su Xu was appointed as the governor of Jiangzhou, he did not leave Jiangning. Jiangning is still under his jurisdiction. Su Xu himself should not have any objections. Besides, the concubine of the Prefect's Mansion The lintel is too low, even though the concubines in Jiangzhou Governor's Mansion are not good enough, their status has always been raised a bit."
Yan echoed and nodded, "Zhou Gu Xin didn't say how he got along with that Miss Su Qi, but since he is willing to recommend Ning Chi for his loneliness, he must get along well."
Qin Taifu said: "It doesn't matter if this marriage is over, if he has a family and a career, he won't be too eccentric, and he will settle down and go to court to assist His Highness."
Yan Huisheng recalled that when Zhou Gu left, he said that he didn’t want to take the scientific examination this year. He wondered if Zhou Gu would go to Jiangning and change his mind after returning. After thinking for a while, he said, "Send someone to Nanping, take Gu's token, and hand it over to Ning Chi."
"This matter is very serious, we must send a suitable person." Qin Taifu's thoughts turned back to Ning Chi, "Don't let the Marquis of Nanping realize that Ning Chi has taken refuge with us."
Yan echoed and nodded.
