The courtiers who had taken a break from court together for a few days after the wedding of the concubine and her husband began to get busy again.
Su Rong and Zhou Gu also ended their noisy days during their wedding vacation and resumed their previous life routine.
In a blink of an eye, the Spring Festival is here.
Last year during the New Year, the whole of Southern Chu was shrouded in the clouds of war. This spring is the first New Year's Eve for the Queen to return to the court. Coupled with the Queen's wedding, it is a great event. The celebration continues until the end of the old and the new year. day.
The streets of Beijing are decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations at the major restaurants and shops. Spring couplets with the Chinese character "Fu" are posted on the palaces and various government offices, and lanterns and pearls are hung high.
The entire King of Southern Chu was enveloped in the festive atmosphere of the New Year.
On New Year's Eve, the royal palace hosted a banquet for all the ministers. The banquet started early and dispersed early. After the banquet, the courtiers left the palace one after another and returned to their mansions to watch the New Year with their families.
The courtiers without family members, such as Zhang Yun, Zhang Mao, Ning Ze, Jiang Zhu and others, had no interest in returning to the palace alone, so they were left in the palace by Su Rong and Zhou Gu.
Su Rong specially ordered people to set up a side hall. A group of young people stayed together to watch the New Year together, drank wine and talked happily, played dice, played cards, and performed drinking orders. The group of people was lively and lively.
Zhou Gu also deliberately stayed behind for Ye Guixue, holding his shoulder and saying, "Brother Ye, I can't help you."
Ye Guixue turned her head and looked at Zhou Gu, "Why can't you forgive me?"
Zhou Gu glanced at Su Rong not far away, "I am now married, and you are not yet. I always feel a little sorry for messing up your situation."
Ye Guixue laughed and said, "Brother Zhou, you drank too much."
If you hadn’t drunk too much, you would never have said such a thing to him.
Zhou Gu shook his head, "I didn't drink too much. Even though I feel sorry for you, if I could go back in time, I still wouldn't let you go."
Ye Guixue was speechless, "So?"
"So, Brother Ye, don't be alone all your life. That's it for this year. Next year, the year after, or the year after, even if it's 3, 5, 7, 8, or a little longer, it doesn't matter. You have to marry someone you want. The one you love." Zhou Gu said.
Ye Guixue smiled, "Don't worry, I won't be alone."
At first, he was a little reluctant when Su Rong returned the tiger talisman to him. Later, Zhou Gu came to Nanchu for Su Rong and found him. He believed that he would cooperate and asked him to take the king and leave the capital away from the Nangong family. , and later Su Rong saved his family again, and he was no longer unwilling at that time.
If you can meet a close friend in your life, why bother yourself and suffer? Moreover, neither Su Rong nor Zhou Gu really felt sorry for him.
He reached out and patted Zhou Gu on the shoulder, "Brother Zhou, you are worrying too much."
Zhou Gu clinked glasses with him and said, "Okay."
He boasted that he had lived an honest life since he was a child, but it was only when he secretly pestered Su Rong that he refused to let go and did not act brightly enough. Ye Guixue did not treat him as an enemy and was on guard, so that he fell into trouble. If he had originally Be wary of him, and with his talents and skills, he may not be able to make Su Rong favor him. Maybe today, he and Su Rong will not be able to make peace.
He is different from him. If he doesn't get Su Rong, he will really be alone all his life.
Cui Yanjin tugged on Su Rong's sleeve and whispered: "Cousin, Mr. Ye and my cousin have been whispering for a long time. I see that they both glanced at you several times. Are they talking bad about you?"
Su Rong was having fun, counting the cards in her hand without raising her head, "Just say what you say and ignore them." She finished counting the cards and urged Zhang Yun, "Hurry up and play the cards, it's your turn, why are you dawdling? "
Zhang Yun had a grimace on his face, "My lady, please be merciful. I almost lost all the gold, silver and jewelry you gave me back to you."
Su Rong Dale, "Who made your poker skills so poor? Your brother is better than you, so he didn't lose."
Zhang Yun sighed, pulled Cui Yanjin over, and handed the cards to him, "Play for me to change your luck. It's not that my card skills are poor, it's just that my luck today is too average."
Cui Yanjin took the card, glanced at it, and stuffed it back to Zhang Yun, "I can't win against my cousin with this bad card." Zhang Yun stood up with the card, walked up to Zhou Gu, and asked him seriously, " Zhou Gu, are we good brothers?"
Zhou Gujin'er was indeed very drunk. Hearing this, he replied, "It must be."
Zhang Yun pushed the cards in his hand to him, "You are a good brother, so win for me." He gritted his teeth, "If we lose again, I won't even have the money to marry my wife. Then I will rely on you. "
When Zhou Gu heard this, he immediately stood up with the cards and said, "That won't work. Just wait, I'll win for you."
He had just been worried about returning home from the night, and he didn't want another bachelor to worry about. This is an inexplicable concern from a married person.
So he came to the card game with the cards, looked at everyone and asked: "Who did Zhang Yundu lose to?"
As if to help him win back.
Su Rong looked at him and smiled, "Me."
Zhou Gu paused and turned to look at Zhang Yun.
Zhang Yun had already pulled Ye Guixue to his side, sat down with him, and reminded him, "You just said that we are good brothers. Whether I can keep the money to marry my wife depends on you. "
Zhou Gu immediately straightened his back, looked at Su Rong, and said with great force, "Come on, I'll take his place."
Su Ronxiao, “Look at the cards in your hand first.”
Zhou Gu looked down, his expression almost unbearable, and he turned to look at Zhang Yun in shock, "What kind of bad card are you talking about?"
Zhang Yun coughed lightly, "My luck is not that good, but it won't be the case with you. Brother, I believe in you."
Zhou Gu reluctantly nodded, "Okay!"
Having accepted them all, I can only grit my teeth and maintain this brotherhood.
Cui Yanjin looked on in admiration and said to Su Rong: "Cousin-in-law, my cousin has done everything for his brother and he dares to go against you."
Zhou Gu stared when he heard this, "Cui Yanjin, your skin is tight again, aren't you?"
Cui Yanjin chuckled, "No, no."
He turned to encourage Su Rong, "Cousin, use your good cards to give him some color."
Su Rong was amused.
When a bad card meets a good one, Zhou Gu will naturally lose even if he tries his best. But he quickly regained his composure and started the next round with everyone.
Sure enough, Zhou Gu’s hand changed in the next round.
Zhang Yun clicked his tongue, "Hey, the groom's card is indeed different. People are in high spirits during happy events, and this card is also flattering."
Zhou Gu hummed and looked at Su Rong, "What? Do you want to admit defeat?"
Su Rong looked at him and said, "Dream."
Cui Yanjin cheered from the side, "My cousin's cards are also good, so what about the groom? My cousin is still the bride, even if my cousin comes, she will be favored by the God of Cards."
“We’ll see.” Zhang Yun urged Zhou Gu, “Brother Zhou, play your cards quickly.” (End of this chapter)
