Chapter 9 Maintenance
Xie Lin walked side by side with Zhou Gu. After being shocked for a long time, he kept looking at Zhou Gu, thinking about the rich and powerful families in Jiangning County. After thinking about it for a long time, I didn't think about it.
He took the initiative to talk to Zhou Gu, "Hey, the marriage contract your grandfather made for you is really in Jiangning? Which one?"
Zhou Gu didn't want to tell him, but thinking that even if he didn't tell him, he would probably find out, so he pretended to be very frank and said: "It's the Seventh Miss of the Jiangning Prefect's Mansion."
"Jiangning prefect Su Xu? Doesn't he have only one son and no daughter?" Xie Lin was even more shocked.
"Yes, the one who made a marriage contract with me is Miss Seven, born to his seventh aunt." Zhou Gu's heart was tense, but he didn't show anything on his face.
Xie Lin was shocked, "It turned out to be a concubine from the prefect's mansion?"
"What's wrong with the concubine?" Zhou Gu can laugh at himself, but others can't, especially Xie Lin. He sullenly said, "There is a saying that is good, and the hero doesn't ask where it came from. My fiancée has a good character, a good personality, and a good appearance. What does it matter if she only comes from one background?"
Xie Lin: "..."
He looked at Zhou Gu in disbelief, "You're not stupid, are you?"
The fiancée is a concubine, and he is not only happy, but also protective? He is the fourth son of the dignified Duke Huguo's mansion, a princess can marry him.
"Why am I so stupid?" Zhou Gu reminded him leisurely, "Qin Luan is still the daughter of a guilty minister, and she has been demoted to slavery. Don't you still want to marry her?"
"That's true... yes." Xie Lin always felt that this was wrong, and after a while, he retorted, "No, Qin Luan was at least born as a lady in the past. Although she was the daughter of a criminal minister, it's just that she is in trouble now."
"As long as the criminal minister's daughter is hung up, it will be a lifetime thing if it doesn't work. But my fiancee is different. Even if she is a concubine, she is still the seventh lady of the Jiangning County prefect's mansion."
Xie Lin thought it made sense, but he still laughed, "What are you so proud of? Marrying a concubine as your wife, you are very beautiful in your heart?"
Zhou Gu gritted his teeth in his heart, but his face was arrogant, "That's because you haven't seen my fiancee, my fiancee is very beautiful, out of water lotus, natural carvings, gentle like water, beautiful..." He made up a lot of adjectives in one breath, and pressed on the fiancee he had never met. Anyway, he won't lose. He must not let Xie Lin laugh at him, "Hey, I can't wait to see her now."
Xie Lin doubted, "Is it really as good as you said? Jiangning is such a small place, can it raise a lot of ladies? Comparable to all the noble girls in the capital? More beautiful than Princess Duanhua?"
Princess Duanhua is the only daughter of Princess Qingping. Princess Qingping is a compatriot with the current Majesty's mother. Princess Duanhua is very much loved by His Majesty. She is beautiful and likes Zhou Gu. Whenever Zhou Gu appears, she will go away upon hearing the news. Zhou Gu really can't stand her pestering and has been avoiding her.
Hearing Xie Lin mention Duanhua Princess, Zhou Gu's face froze, "Why are you mentioning Duanhua?"
"Duanhua is good-looking, and she likes you, but you have been avoiding her. I see that you like your fiancée very much now, so I naturally want to mention her. Is she prettier than Duanhua?" Xie Lin asked back.
Zhou Gu immediately said: "In my eyes, she is good-looking in every way, and she is naturally the prettiest, let alone Duanhua. If you mention it again, I will turn against you."
"Am I afraid that you will turn your face?" Xie Lin turned dark again.
"If you mention it again, I won't reconcile with you." Zhou Gu said again.
Xie Lin wanted to say, "Who wants to reconcile with you?", but he was full of questions and wanted to ask Zhou Gu, so he kept his mouth shut and didn't mention Duanhua, just said: "When did you meet your fiancée?"
"Last year." Zhou Gu lied and didn't type drafts.
Xie Linnu, "Since you like your fiancée, why do you want to rob Qin Luan from me?"
Zhou Gu thought to himself, "Who is willing to steal it?", but the matter had already been done, and he had no choice but to say, "You just thought my brain was twitching, didn't you think you were displeased at that time?"
Xie Lin was furious, "You bastard!"
Zhou Gu admitted, "I said I was wrong, are you still finished?"
Xie Lin snorted coldly, "I can't finish with you."
Zhou Gu immediately promised, "Just wait, I will find one for you when I go to Jiangning." After speaking, he added, "It's similar to Qin Luan."
"I don't want it." Xie Lincai didn't need him to look for it.
"Don't be stubborn, Qin Luan has entered the East Palace, it is impossible to come out again." Zhou Gu comforted him, "Where is there no grass in the end of the world."
The fiancée is a concubine, what is there to show off? If it was him, he would have hidden it for fear of being laughed at by him. Zhou Gu's brain was seriously ill.
Half a day later, the team traveled a hundred miles and arrived at the foot of the Great Buddha Temple Mountain. Zhou Gu and Xie Lin parted ways and continued on their way.
Xie Lin watched Zhou Gu lead the chariot and horses away, and there was a lot of noise. Zhou Gu was riding on the horse, and there were some birds flying out of the cage, flying freely, as if he wanted to fly to Jiangning all at once. He was a little envious, and said to a guard beside him, "I want to go to Jiangning too."
The guard was puzzled, "Little prince, why do you want to go to Jiangning?"
You don't have a Jiang Ning fiancée.
"Hey, I want to go to Jiangning to play." Xie Lin felt itchy in his heart, "I don't know if I told my concubine that I want to go to Jiangning to relax, will my concubine agree?"
The guard didn't know whether the princess would agree, so he couldn't give any advice.
Xie Lin sighed, "Let's talk about it first with my mother and concubine after paying respects to the Buddha! I'll grind her, maybe she will agree."
After traveling hundreds of miles with Zhou Gu's team, Li Yan had a sense of reality that Zhou Gu was going to Jiangning with him.
After talking nonsense to Xie Lin, Zhou Gu couldn't hold back, thinking that his big words were blowing out, and if his fiancée couldn't do it, he would also be waiting to be laughed at by Xie Lin, so he held his breath and called Li Yan to his side and asked, "I'm asking you, Miss Seven, is she good-looking?"
Li Yan nodded immediately, "Miss Seven looks pretty."
"How pretty?"
"She is the most beautiful girl in Jiangning County. I have never seen anyone prettier than Miss Seven." Li Yan commented honestly.
Zhou Gu Wenyan felt relieved, as long as she is good-looking, at least the fact that his fiancée is beautiful is what he said, so he asked again: "How is her personality?"
Li Yan thought Miss Seven had a bad temper, but if others didn't provoke her, she would not take the initiative to provoke others, so she nodded, "very good personality."
Zhou Gu felt relieved again, "How do you treat people?"
"Low and generous." Li Yan gave four words. To be precise, he is not afraid of anyone, and he is extremely courageous.
Zhou Gu breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he is not petty, "She is in the prefect's mansion, ranking seventh, is she being bullied?"
If you are bullied all the year round, it means you are soft-tempered. Although you have a good personality, it is not okay to be pinched.
Li Yan shook his head without hesitation, "Don't be bullied."
More than that, if Miss Seven doesn't bully others, others should burn the incense. She can be said to be walking sideways in the prefect's mansion.
Zhou Gu asked again: "Are you telling the truth?"
"To tell you the truth, I dare not lie to you, my lord." Li Yan quickly promised.
Zhou Gu was satisfied, and felt that his fiancée should be barely available. He no longer asked Su Rong, but cared about Jiang Ning who was about to go, "What fun things does Jiang Ning have? Tell me in detail."
Li Yan quickly said: "Jiangning has a mountain, two rivers and a third floor. The first mountain is Phoenix Mountain, where there is a thousand-year-old Phoenix tree, where a hundred birds come to live. The two rivers are Taohuaxi and Fengyehe. It is so beautiful. The third floor is Zuihua Building, Fengyue Building, and Rouzhi Building. These three floors have their own characteristics, and they often set up stage competitions."
Li Yan counted the days, and continued: "Now is the tenth day of June, and Miss Seven's birthday is the eighth day of July. That is to say, although I can't enjoy the beautiful scenery of Taohuaxi and Maple Leaf River, I can visit Phoenix Mountain. If I stay a few days longer, if it happens, I can catch up with the competition on the third floor."
Zhou Gu commented, "I never expected that such a small place like Jiangning would be more interesting than the capital city."
Li Yan thought to himself, Jiang Ning did have a lot of fun, otherwise Miss Seven wouldn't have grown out of her family. When I was a child, I went through a dog hole, and a crowd of people searched for her, but they couldn't find her. Later, I found out that she went out through the dog hole. My wife ordered someone to block the dog hole, so she moved a ladder to climb the wall. Over the years, the walls of the back house of the Jiangning prefect's mansion were rebuilt three times, but it still couldn't stop her. Later, the madam got so angry that she didn't bother to care about her.
He secretly glanced at Zhou Gu, thinking that young master Zhou is really good looking, and Miss Seven is worthy of him in terms of appearance, but with Miss Seven's temperament, he was really worried. If the two of them disagreed and started fighting, Miss Seven would not know if Miss Seven could beat Young Master Zhou?
No, no, it shouldn't be said that way, should it be said that Young Master Zhou hits a woman?
He single-handedly beat up the guards of the Rui'an Palace, and beat up the little prince Xie Lin, but he was unharmed, as expected from the prestigious Duke's Mansion.
Miss Seven is different. Every time she fights with someone, she gets injured. Just for this, she is not as good as Young Master Zhou, right? If Young Master Zhou really hits a woman, Miss Seven might not be able to beat her!
Li Yan was a little worried.
