After dinner, Prefect Su and Da Furen didn't leave immediately. Prefect Su was still thinking about the "Wushan Mountain Picture" in his heart, and wanted to grind with Su Rong again. Da Furen still had something to say to Su Rong.
"Zhou Guke said when to leave?" the lady asked Su Rong.
"Just two days!" Su Rong said.
The eldest lady thought that Zhou Gu could stay for a few more days, but she didn't expect that Su Rong and Yan would leave immediately after the ceremony. She thought about what the ladies said to me today, and asked tentatively: "You and Zhou Gu, I think you get along well. Are you satisfied with this marriage?"
Although she knew in her heart that if she was dissatisfied with Zhou Gu, with her temperament, she would definitely not have the patience to play with him or take a walk with him, but she still wanted to make sure.
"Yes." Su Rong nodded.
The eldest lady was happy, "What was Zhou Gu thinking in his heart? You can ask?"
"No question." Su Rong shook her head.
Su Taishou said from the side: "Oh, ma'am, you are worrying too much, what can Zhou Gu think? If he doesn't like Xiao Qi, he won't care about him, let alone give her a hairpin today."
On such an important day, what does the hairpin ceremony represent? Although Zhou Gu is young, he doesn't know it.
The eldest lady nodded, "Although I said so, I also see that Zhou Gu treats Xiao Qi well, but for such a big matter, it's better to make the words clear, lest we get it wrong."
Prefect Su thought about it, and looked at Su Rong, "Why don't we ask Zhou Gu?"
Su Rong shook his head, "You don't need to ask him. When he returns to Beijing, let's talk about what the Huguo Mansion has to say! Anyway, my eldest brother is going to Beijing, and I will meet people from the Huguo Mansion."
"Yes." Da Furen nodded, "Then Xie Xiaowang just came to Jiangning, will he go back with Zhou Gu?"
Su Rong didn't know about this, so she shook her head.
The lady said: "Xie Xiaowang is also a good child, but unfortunately his status is too high, the girls in our mansion are not worthy in terms of status, otherwise just choose one of your sisters to marry him."
Su Rong also thinks that Xie Lin is good, at least his character is not bad.
The eldest lady had a look of pity, "Although I think your sisters are all married well, I can't expect a marriage that can't be achieved. It's enough to be a little taller than our family. If it's too high, it's not good for them. The status of the little prince Xie is too high, but fortunately your sisters are all aware of their status. Even if the little prince Xie lives in our mansion, none of them care about it. I am very relieved."
After all, even if the daughters of the Su family are concubines, she has decided to let them all be regular wives and not concubines.
Su Rong smiled, "It was mother who taught you well."
If anyone in this mansion wants them to marry the most, it is the eldest lady. Her sisters are afraid that she will lose their family business and their dowry in a fight. Therefore, there are not high requirements for what kind of husband and son-in-law they want to marry. In other words, for them, as long as they can have a dowry and marry a decent person.
It’s no wonder that they have low demands. It’s because she always fights to pay for medical expenses since she was a child, which makes them feel shadowed. Only the eldest lady insisted on choosing a good husband and wife for each of them.
The eldest lady felt that Su Rong sincerely praised her, and instantly straightened her back, with a proud face, "That is."
Su Taishou laughed, "Madam, don't set your sights too high. If you don't want to stay in a female college, if you stay and stay, you will become enemies. Make a similar family and you will get it."
After all, isn’t his daughter all gold bumps like Su Rong, there is one Zhou Gu, and six more like him? That's just nonsense.
"I know. It's not waiting for Xiao Qi's marriage to be finalized. There is still Xing Ze High School. At that time, a family will have hundreds of girls asking for it. It won't be too difficult." The eldest lady stood up with a plan in mind, "Okay, let's go! Let Xiao Qi go to bed early."
Prefect Su didn't want to leave, so he looked at Su Rong, "The "Wushan Picture"..."
Su Rong was ruthless, "I won't give it to you."
He stared at Su Rong for a long while, seeing that Su Rong was unmoved, he could only hold his breath and cursed "unfilial" before angrily followed the eldest lady.
The two of them walked out the door and walked far away, and he could still be heard muttering, "Oh, little thing, it hurts her for nothing."
The eldest lady poohed him, "It deserves it, after giving it to you, let you have enough fun, and then sell it for money to carry women in the mansion?"
Prefect Su fell silent immediately.
Su Rong laughed, turned off the lights, got up and went back to the inner room.
On the second day, Mother Zhao came to the mansion on time early in the morning.
The eldest lady slapped her forehead when she saw Zhao Momo, "Mommy, I forgot to tell you yesterday to let Xiao Qi rest for two days, did you not learn the rules in these two days?"
Mother Zhao was taken aback, "Madam didn't seem to say anything yesterday."
The eldest lady said "Oops", "That's because I forgot in a hurry, Zhou Gu will return to Beijing soon, and I thought about giving Xiaoqi a two-day vacation and letting her accompany him."
Nurse Zhao suddenly smiled, "That's okay, I'll say hello to Miss Seven, say a few words, and then go back."
The eldest lady apologized, "It's all because I was busy and forgot, so I let the mother come here for nothing."
"It's not in the way." Zhao Mama smiled and went to Dongkuayuan.
Su Rong woke up early in the morning and planned to find Zhou Gu after dinner. The meal had just been brought to the table when Zhao Nanny came. Although the eldest lady didn't tell Zhao Nanny not to let her come today, she did say so yesterday, but Zhao Nanny came today. She came so early, so there must be something else.
Su Rong remembered what she had told Zhao Momo to pass on a few days ago, could there be news? She beckoned Mammy Zhao to sit down, "Can Madam have breakfast?"
"I've used it already." Mother Zhao lowered her voice, "Miss Seven has breakfast first, and I'm here today to answer Miss Seven on behalf of that person."
Su Rong nodded, not in a hurry to ask Mother Zhao, and bowed her head to eat.
After eating, Yue Wan packed up her things, and Su Rong signaled Zhao Nanny to tell her to go to the inner room.
After closing the door, Mother Zhao handed Su Rong a letter, "You can read it yourself, this is a letter from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Su Rong reached out to take it.
Open the letter from Crown Prince Yan Echo. In the letter, he first thanked Su Rong for saving his life, saying that he had been looking for her all the time, and that an answer and a dagger were not enough to repay her for saving her life. She can find him if she wants anything, and he will do his best.
He also said in the letter that the person who wanted to kill her was the Queen of Nanchu. For some reason, the Queen of Nanchu not long ago found Queen Daliang, who was his mother, and said that as long as the queen agreed to help Queen Nanchu kill her, she would persuade King Nanchu to support him to ascend the throne. The queen was very moved by the condition of Nanchu's support for him, so she agreed. So, someone was sent to kill her, but unexpectedly, the man who came to kill her recognized his dagger on her body, and stopped in time. It was also because of this that he knew her identity. He said that the queen knew that she was his savior, so naturally she would not do anything to her again, and had sent someone to investigate why Queen Nanchu wanted to kill her, and would temporarily stabilize Queen Nanchu. He also said that since the queen of Nanchu had gone to such great lengths to kill her, she might not let it go. If she agreed, he would keep Yun An by her side to protect her
Su Rong thought to herself that this life-saving grace was really beneficial. After rewarding her with a dagger that cuts iron like mud, there would be follow-up benefits. She put away the letter and asked Mother Zhao: "Yun An must be someone His Royal Highness needs to use?"
Mother Zhao waited for her to read the letter, nodded, "He is the first guard of His Royal Highness."
Su Rong nodded, "I appreciate His Highness the Crown Prince's protection, so tell him, there is no need."
After all, she is not a powerless person.
Mother Zhao is worried about her, "Miss Seven, don't worry about it. If you don't accept Yun'an, why don't you ask His Highness to send someone else? It's not as good as Yun'an, but the guards from the East Palace are all first-class. My old guess is that you are probably the daughter of Princess Zhenmin and the King of Nanchu, otherwise the Queen of Nanchu would have traveled far and wide to kill you. Controlling half of the Southern Chu royal power, now she still has scruples for some reason, and kills you in many ways, if she loses her scruples and goes crazy to kill you, it is definitely not something you can handle alone."
Seeing that Su Rong didn't speak, Mother Zhao looked dignified, "The small country of Southern Chu, although it hasn't paid tribute for many years, is still a country belonging to Daliang. Although His Royal Highness is struggling at present, as a prince since childhood, he still has a solid foundation. Most of the courtiers also support Zhengtong. His Royal Highness is willing to help you because of saving his life. Why do you refuse?"
Mother Zhao sighed, and said again: "Although the Huguogong's mansion is a big tree with deep roots and a splendid lintel, in the past, the queen of Nanchu would naturally be afraid of the Huguo's mansion, but now His Majesty has become more and more powerful. The three descendants of the Huguo's mansion have grown up, and the army has been able to take charge of it alone. Therefore, I am afraid that he will no longer take the Duke Huguo's house seriously. But His Highness the Crown Prince is different, after all, he is the crown prince who is loved by the courtiers."
