On this day, Su Rong did not return to the palace, but stayed in the Zhou Mansion. He had dinner with the old Duke and others, and rested with the eldest lady in the courtyard where she lived.
On the way back to the palace, the King of Nanchu did not let Xie Yuan go back to the palace. Instead, he pulled him and insisted that he go to the palace and have dinner with him. "Brother Xie, Xiao Qi must be resting in Zhou Mansion today. How boring is it to eat alone? No, you must stay with me."
Xie Yuan doesn’t want to agree, so who would be willing to have dinner with him? But the King of Nanchu was so entangled that he had no choice but to force him away, so he could only follow him to the palace.
The King of Nanchu and Xie Yuan were drinking together and sighed, "Xiao Qi doesn't eat with me, I'm not used to it."
Xie Yuan’s face was expressionless.
The King of Nanchu then said: "Hey, Xiaoqi's mother is here, have you seen it? Look at how affectionate they are. As a father, I am no longer popular in front of her."
Xie Yuan remained expressionless.
The King of Nan Chu said again: "Brother Xie, do you think Xiao Qi will not go to Zhou Mansion often in the future?"
Xie Yuan didn’t want to answer him.
The King of Nanchu looked at him and said, "Say something."
Xie Yuan sneered, "What can I say? Are you going to live in the Zhou Mansion too?"
The King of Nan Chu blinked, "Is this suitable? Will the old Guo Guild dislike Gu? Besides, there are several female relatives living in the Zhou Mansion, will it be inconvenient?"
Xie Yuan thought for himself and regretted being pestered into the palace by him. He had no intention of finishing this meal.
The King of Nan Chu was not annoyed and said "Hey", "If Xiao Qi always goes to Zhou's house from now on, it would be more reliable for Gu to live in your house."
Xie Yuan could hardly drink the wine, "Stop it, you are not welcome in my house."
"Oh, Brother Xie, don't be so stingy. It's settled. Once Xiao Qi goes to the Zhou Mansion, I will have dinner with you. If you don't enter the palace, I will go to your manor." King Nan Chu He thought of a way and became happy again, "We are also companions. Look at you, why are you so cold to Gu Gu again? On Xiao Qi's birthday, didn't you still coax Gu Gu? Are you not good brothers anymore? ?”
Xie Yuan took a breath and put down the wine cup, "Do you want to drink again?"
"Drink, drink, come, come." King Nan Chu quickly helped him pick up the wine cup, "Let's drink together."
The snow outside the window is getting heavier and heavier. In the inner hall of the palace, the charcoal fire is burning brightly and it feels warm.
After drinking the wine, King Nan Chu pulled Xie Yuan and said, "Brother Xie, the snow is too heavy, and you have eaten so much wine with me. You can live in the palace today! If you are allowed to go back like this, what will happen to me?" Don’t worry, I have to go to your Xie Mansion with you.”
Xie Yuan didn't want to argue with him about this, so he nodded, "Okay."
It snowed heavily all night and it was still falling early when I woke up. It was three feet thick.
Early in the morning of the second day, Su Rong got up and went to court. The servants held court clothes and helped her put them on.
Mrs. Madam looked on from the side. After Su Rong was dressed, she looked out at the sky and muttered, "It's really hard for such a big school to have to rush to go to the morning meeting when it's still dark."
Unlike her, she could go back to bed and sleep for an extra hour.
Su Rong also felt that it was very hard, but what could be done? She muttered, turned and left.
The eldest lady didn’t hear clearly what Su Rong muttered. She yawned and asked the nanny waiting beside her, “What did she say just before she left? Did you hear it clearly?”
Madam: "..." She laughed and scolded me, but she really felt sorry for my little grandson. She didn't even know where he was going to be a piao, but she was already thinking about him. ", she yawned twice more, lay back on the bed, covered herself with the quilt, and closed her eyes, "This bed is so comfortable. Tell the kitchen that I won't have breakfast until I wake up. "
Mammy nodded with a smile, lowered the curtain for her, and closed the door.
It was snowing heavily, the north wind was howling, and it was dark and the roads were slippery. Although Su Rong arrived at the morning court on time, some elderly courtiers missed the morning court.
Seeing her, the courtiers repeatedly apologized.
Su Rong waved her hand, "In this kind of weather, we can still get up and go to the morning meeting. It's really hard work. Your health is the most important thing. Due to the special weather, it doesn't matter if you delay for a while."
The courtiers were moved and lined up in a row.
On this day, in the morning, the courtiers obviously felt that the concubine was in a good mood. Although the discussion in the morning was about dealing with the difficult matter of the snow disaster, it did not prevent the concubine from coming to Nanchu because of the old protector and others. good mood.
After the court broke up, Zhang Yun said, "Hey, Brother Zhou and Brother Ye, I don't know when they will be able to come back. With such a heavy snow, I'm afraid it will be overdue for the heavy snow to seal the mountain. They say it can be dealt with in half a month." Don’t delay things for a month just because of the heavy snow.”
Su Rong had been thinking about Zhou Gu for a long time. Hearing this, he suddenly felt bad and glared at Zhang Yun.
Zhang Yun happened to see it and said, "Huh? Madam, am I right? Why are you glaring at me?"
Su Rong was angry and said, "Don't be so crow-like."
Zhang Yun understood and immediately touched his nose, "Yes, I'm talking nonsense. Brother Zhou will definitely be back in half a month, and the heavy snow will not stop him from coming back."
Su Rong was satisfied, turned around and left.
Zhang Yun: “…”
Why didn't he see that the princess was so childish before? This is an obvious fact. If he doesn’t say it, wouldn’t it be true?
The eldest princess of Sheng'an has long missed her grandson. From the time she left Beijing last autumn to this winter, she hasn't seen Zhou Gu for more than a year. She thought she would be able to see her when she came to Nanchu, but who could have imagined that Zhou Gu was out? I'm on business, and now it's snowing so heavily.
She sighed with the old Protector, "I wonder when Brother Gu will come back? It's snowing too hard. It makes me really anxious."
The old Protector looked at his old wife and said, "What's the rush? We won't leave here. We'll stay here for three to five years, as you wish. When he returns to the capital, you can see him every day."
The eldest princess Sheng'an was so relieved that she immediately laughed and said, "You old thing, you are quite good at talking."
The old Protector was not worried at all, "When I was young, I fought abroad. The longest time I went away was two years without returning home, and I didn't see you missing me."
Princess Sheng'an glared at him, "Can that be the same? I knew when I married you that you had your head in your waistband. Even if someone carries your body back from the battlefield one day, I wouldn't be surprised. I think so. What's the use of you? You won't reply, so I might as well not think about it."
The old protector choked.
The eldest princess Sheng'an said happily: "I think my dear grandson is looking forward to his coming back and having hope. When you were young, you didn't make me feel that there was any hope."
The old Protector didn't want to chat with her anymore, so he shut up.
The eldest princess of Sheng'an did not let him go, "If we live comfortably, we can stay in Nanchu for three to five years. Let Brother Gu take care of us in our old age. Brother Rui doesn't want to leave anyway, even the children We all want his fourth uncle to grow up with him, so what’s the point of going back to Daliang Jingcheng. It’s still Nanchu, it’s fun to stay there.”
Old Protector of the Country: “…”
Just one day after arriving, you actually want to die here. Is it ridiculous? (End of chapter)
