When Su Rong and Zhou Gu arrived at the Zhengyang Hall, the King of Southern Chu and the old protector of the country were sitting happily. Cui Gong Xie Yuan was also there, and everyone was very lively.
Seeing the two people coming, the Duke's wife, the mother-in-law, personally greeted Su Rong. Seeing that Su Rong's face turned pale, she pushed Zhou Gu away, glared at him, and lowered her voice and said, "What did I tell you?" I asked you to pay attention to your propriety, why didn’t you listen?”
Zhou Gu touched his nose and didn't dare to say anything.
The Duke's wife held Su Rong's hand and faced her. She was too much compared to Zhou Gu Ci and said, "This brat has no sense. You must not indulge him too much in the future."
Su Rong smiled and said, "Mom, it's none of his business that I was too tired from the royal affairs and wedding matters a few days ago." She sighed, "After all, the wedding process is so cumbersome. ”
Mrs. Guogong thought about it and said, "It's really complicated. Thank you for your hard work."
She walked into the inner hall with Su Rong on her arm and threw Zhou Gu aside.
Zhou Gu was protected by Su Rong and was less scolded. He felt warm and followed the two of them into the inner hall.
The process of serving tea went very smoothly. According to status and seniority, after serving tea, Zhou Gu quickly took Su Rong from her mother's hand, helped her sit down, and sat down next to her.
The old Protector looked at the young couple, his face full of smiles, "Okay, okay." He looked at Zhou Gu and scolded with a smile, "You brat, now you finally got what you wanted, are you satisfied?"
Zhou Gu shook his head and said, "I'm not satisfied. Xiaoqi and I want to grow old together and are destined to live forever."
Now this is just the beginning. As time goes by, he will never be satisfied.
The old Protector laughed loudly and said, "Okay, you have something to pursue."
If these words had been put forward before, Zhou Gu must have thought that his grandfather was mocking him, but now that he knew it was definitely not the case, he grinned happily.
Su Rong had nothing to say and was amused. She looked at Zhou Gu with warm eyes.
Mrs. Guogong sighed in her heart, remembering Zhou Gu's decadent look when his engagement was annulled. How could he have imagined that he would be here today. Zhou Gu was not satisfied, but she was very satisfied. Her youngest son finally asked for what he wanted. As a mother, she is the most gratified and happy.
Mrs. Su was also pleased and happy. She recalled that when Zhou Gu went to Jiangning County, Su Rong was very happy to see her. There were many twists and turns during the period, but it was always successful in the end. She was so happy to see her happy.
Su Xingze only arrived at the capital of Southern Chu yesterday morning. He will stay at most for one more day today and will rush back tomorrow. He has watched the wedding of his sister, whom he has loved since childhood, with his own eyes, and the joy on his face swept away his fatigue. He sat next to the eldest lady and couldn't hold back his smile.
Everyone had lunch together. After lunch, Su Rong was tired, while La Su Xing talked.
Zhou Gu wisely did not dare to urge her to go back and rest. Instead, he accompanied her to the Nuan Pavilion in the side hall and let the brother and sister talk. He went to his mother to shamelessly ask for advice on how to make amends after making Su Rong uncomfortable.
The Duke's wife nodded his head, "I knew that Xiaoqi was defending you and making excuses for you. She is tired from the big wedding, but she is actually tired from you."
She was not angry, "Men need to learn restraint and moderation, do you understand?"
Zhou Gu naturally understood, but understanding and actual operation were two different things. Su Rong lay softly on the bed and let him do whatever he wanted. He was a man, so it was strange that he could hold back. The fact that he could endure it for so long and not endure it to the point of breaking out was a sign of his extreme self-control.
Seeing him being scolded freely, the Duke's wife also laughed angrily, "It's all my fault. You hurried back to the capital. I only told you to exercise restraint, but I forgot to prepare medicine for you. I didn't expect you to be so unreliable. Obviously He nodded, and he was so tired that he looked like this. If you go to Dr. Zhang, he will definitely have something in his hands..."
Halfway through her words, she remembered something and shook her head, "Well, I don't think you need to go. Aunt Zhao knows better than you and must have prepared medicine." She sighed, "We must treat Xiaoqi better in the future. Especially you, look at how tolerant and indulgent she is. Now, she is a hundred times more indulgent than when she was in the Duke's Mansion or the East Palace."
Zhou Gu straightened his back, "At that time, she was the best to me."
The Duke's wife smiled and chased him away, "If you have nothing to do, don't bother with me and go to Dr. Zhang for advice. The doctor's words will always be more effective than mine."
Zhou Gu nodded and went immediately.
Su Rong kept talking to Su Xingze for an hour, not wanting to let him go yet. Su Xingze smiled helplessly, "I'll just leave one day later. I'll try to come to Nanchu to see you every year in the future. Hurry up." Go back and rest!”
This is what Su Rong meant, "In a few days, the beam will not turn away from you. You don't have to be too anxious if Northern Hebei is stable."
Su Xingze said: "Daliang was also hit by a snowstorm this year. Although the disaster was not as severe as that of Nanchu, the land area of Daliang is larger. His Highness the Crown Prince is busy with his feet off the ground, and the courtiers are also working hard day after day. I can squeeze in this trip." , it’s thanks to His Highness that he sent someone to Northern Hebei to temporarily take care of the affairs in my hands, it’s better not to go back later.”
After all, it would take a month to go back and forth on a fast horse day and night.
Su Rong thought for a moment, "Then let's stay for another three days! You finally come here and visit the capital of Southern Chu. Let Fengling accompany you."
After she finished speaking, she added, "I will ask Zhou Gu to accompany you tomorrow."
Su Xingze smiled, "Okay, it's enough for Fengling to accompany me. I don't need my brother-in-law to accompany me, so he should accompany you!"
Su Rong didn't blush, "The two of us will stay with you."
When she comes to rest, she should be able to rest tomorrow.
Su Xingze smiled again, "That's fine."
Zhou Gu went to see Dr. Zhang and secretly called him aside. Before he could explain his purpose, Dr. Zhang understood. He gave him tubes of ointment one by one and taught him how to use it. Then he said, "If you have time, I will give him the ointment next time." The officer will teach you a set of massage techniques, and afterwards you can relax the princess's muscles and relieve her fatigue."
Zhou Gu couldn't wait, "Teach me now."
Doctor Zhang nodded, went to an inner room with Zhou Gu, and asked someone to be a test subject, one to teach and the other to learn. Unknowingly, an hour passed.
After Zhou Gu finished his studies, Dr. Zhang praised him, "You are smart. You have only learned a lot, and you are good at it."
Zhou Gu saw that the time was almost up. After thanking him, he hurried back to find Su Rong.
Su Rong was about to ask Zhou Gu where he had gone when she saw him coming back. A tube of ointment was exposed from his sleeve. He put it against her ear and whispered: "Come back, I will help you apply the medicine and massage you. I will follow Zhang The doctor is now learning a unique technique that can relieve fatigue."
Su Rong glanced at him and said, "When your day lilies are cold, Aunt Zhao will prepare ointment for me in the morning."
Zhou Gu looked at her eagerly.
Su Ronxiao hooked her arm around his neck, "But you can try your new massage technique and see if it works." (End of Chapter)
