Chapter 685 Writing a letter
Zhou Gu carefully applied the medicine to Su Rong. While applying the medicine, he deeply reflected on himself.
Su Rong hugged his waist and laughed, "It really doesn't hurt."
Zhou Gu sighed and rubbed Su Rong's head vigorously, "Su Rong, why are you so good?"
Su Rong said "Hmm", "How am I doing? What's good about me? Am I beautiful?"
Zhou Gu smiled and said, "Yes, you are beautiful and very good." He lowered his head and kissed her cheek, soft and lingering, "I like it very much."
Su Rong was moved and whispered: "After the peace negotiation, we will get married when we return to Beijing. I will write a letter to my father later and ask him to go to the Ministry of Etiquette to start preparations for the wedding for us. Let Qin Tianjian choose an auspicious day and an auspicious time. "
Zhou Gu was so happy that he immediately let her go and urged, "Then go write quickly."
Su Rong: “…”
She was dissatisfied, "Can't you hold me for a while before writing?"
"No, hurry up and write. Our wedding is more important." Zhou Gu pushed her, "Hurry up."
Su Rong had no choice but to stand up and write a letter.
Zhou Gu personally polished Su Rong's ink and watched her roll up her sleeves and write a letter to the King of Nanchu seriously. The letter was written seriously, but also concisely. It was only a thin piece of paper, and it was written. The thing was to ask the King of Nanchu to rush to the Etiquette Department to prepare for her wedding. Then, he wrote down her size and his size, and asked the Royal Clothing Bureau to rush to make wedding clothes. She told the King of Nanchu that she was in a hurry and must handle the matter quickly without delay. After she negotiated peace with the Wei Dynasty and returned to the capital, she would get married.
After she finished writing, she put away the pen, dried the letter, and folded it.
Zhou Gu said from the side: "Why don't you write just a little? Don't write more? Don't mention the battle report? Don't ask how your father-in-law is doing?"
Su Rong stuffed the letter into the envelope and sealed it with wax, "I have already written the good news about the war in Ye Guixue, so there is no need for me to write it. Qin Ruo followed him to the capital, and the Prime Minister Ye is here again. My father must be well, no need." ask."
Zhou Gu sighed. He had learned from Su Rong's dislike of writing letters, and nodded, "Okay! Come and sharpen the ink for me, and I will also write a letter to my father-in-law."
Su Rong turned to look at him, "Why did you write him a letter?"
Zhou Gu said matter-of-factly: "I miss my father-in-law."
Su Rong's mouth twitched, "Are you talking nonsense? What do you want him to do?"
Zhou Gu knocked her head, "I have been with my father-in-law for two or three months, and we have a life-long relationship. I wonder why he can't do it anymore? I have a lot to say to him."
She obediently moved out of the way, and the two of them changed places. She polished ink for Zhou Gu, and Zhou Gu wrote letters.
Zhou Gu also wrote very seriously and verbosely. He seemed to have a lot to say to the King of Southern Chu, from saying hello at the beginning, to how they resisted Wei's attack on Heiyaguan, to how they counterattacked Wei, and finally said his final words. The main purpose was to say that the Wei Prince Yuan Zhao was disgusting, saying that he thought his status was unstable and actually wanted to send the Wei prince to Xiao Qi as a servant. He felt that it was necessary for his father-in-law to quickly give him a proper status. In order to prevent the thief from taking him seriously, treating him as a decoration, and ignoring him. Also, Xiaoqi always bullied him, and he was deeply afraid that she would not be able to help but knock him down, and he couldn't refuse, he still wanted to I wanted flowers and candles in the bridal chamber, and I didn't want to be bullied into obeying her, so I bothered my father-in-law, sympathized with my son-in-law, and quickly asked the etiquette department to prepare for the wedding, so that my father-in-law could have grandchildren as soon as possible. Su Rong's eyebrows were twitching and his face was twitching. He was very suspicious that he was the biological son of the King of Nan Chu, right? On the contrary, she is the pig who wants to give others cabbage.
After Zhou Gu finished writing, he seemed to still have some unfinished thoughts. He put down the pen reluctantly and said to Su Rong: "I've finished writing. Let's send it to the royal capital together!"
Su Rong nodded numbly and folded the thick letter for him. Compared with her page, it looked very pitiful and frivolous.
Seeing her sending someone to send the letter away, Zhou Gu touched his chin and said, "It's been a long time since I went back to write a letter home. I'm afraid grandma is impatient. And you, you should also write a letter home to your mother-in-law. If your mother-in-law heard about Nan Chu is at war, so he may not be able to sleep and eat well day and night."
Su Rong nodded happily, "Then write it, and by the way, ask them if they can come to Nanchu to watch the ceremony. Although it is thousands of miles away, it takes two or three months to travel back and forth, and the journey is quite hard, but you don't have to leave if you come, little one If you stay there for a year and a half, as long as you negotiate peace with Wei, there will be no more wars within a few years, and it will be very peaceful."
"It's not Anping. On his way here, Zhibai happened to catch up with the remnants of the Nangong family who were making trouble. He spent a lot of effort to clean them up." Zhou Gu said: "Now in Nanchu, my father-in-law and Ye Xiang have just stabilized. Who knows how many muddy waters and nails are waiting to be pulled out behind the scenes. After all, I haven’t had time to pay attention to those recently. It’s good to be stable on the surface. Everyone is busy with military pay and military supplies and has no time. He cares."
Su Rong thought about it. Nan Chu was in chaos due to the Nangong family and the government was almost paralyzed. It was indeed not possible to stabilize overnight. Even if they did not go to war with the Wei Dynasty and negotiated peace, there would still be many things hidden behind the scenes. Wei's hidden stakes, the nails that the Nangong family didn't remove, etc.
She sighed, "Why don't we get married so soon? I think my grandmother and mother would definitely want to see you and me getting married, and my mother. Hey, we are in such a hurry. What if something happens to them on their way here?" What should I do if something goes wrong?"
"Father-in-law's preparations shouldn't be that fast, right? After all, you are the princess. After we negotiate peace with the Great Wei, we will start to deal with these matters. If we act more swiftly, we can also clear the air. Anyway, send the letter back first and wait for confirmation. Now, let the flying eagle send back a letter. If they come, bring more secret guards to protect them. If that doesn't work, please ask His Highness the Crown Prince to send a team of soldiers and horses to **** them, and their safety will be guaranteed." Zhou Gu said.
"That's right." Su Rong quickly relaxed, "Then write it quickly!"
Zhou Gu nodded and immersed himself in writing for a while. He wrote a letter to Princess Sheng'an, another letter to the Duke's wife, and then another letter to his grandfather Cui Gong. The earlier letter was written by Cui Xing. In the letter sent to Qinghe, he did not mention a wedding. Now this letter is telling him that he is preparing for the wedding and asking his grandfather if he can come to watch the ceremony.
Each letter is very thick.
Su Rong was amazed when he saw it.
Zhou Gu wrote several letters in succession. After he finished writing, he felt tired and rubbed his wrists and said, "It's your turn."
Su Rong nodded. She only needed to write a letter to the eldest lady. She quickly picked up the pen and greeted her mother very concisely. She told her to marry off all her sisters as soon as possible, and then in about half a year Later, she came to Nanchu to attend her wedding ceremony with Zhou Gu.
Zhou Gu muttered to the side, "Half a year is too long, isn't it?"
Su Rong looked at him, "I'm busy with many things. Also, for ordinary people, it takes a year and a half to prepare for a big wedding. For example, my mother's wedding to her sisters would take three months at the earliest. For both of us, For a big wedding, you and I have our status here. Half a year is too little, otherwise we will be busy with all the preparations. Believe it or not, my father must have felt that it was too fast when he received the letter from you and me, and the Minister of Etiquette I’m afraid I have to bite the bullet and say things like not enough time or sufficient time.”
Zhou Gu was speechless, "Okay!"
He also knew that Su Rong was the daughter of a princess, and the wedding ceremony was probably comparable to that of an emperor, and the preparations were too many and cumbersome. And even if he thinks too fast, he doesn't want to keep everything simple. After all, it only comes once in a lifetime.
