Jiangning County is thousands of miles away from the capital, and it can be reached in five days by riding a fast horse.

Li Yan, the son of Li Fu, the housekeeper recommended by Wang's mother, is very reliable, he works as a guard in Jiangning Taishou Mansion, often goes out, and is very experienced. Li Yan didn't have anything to do all the way, and it was easy to enter the capital. He didn't immediately go to the Huguo Mansion, but first found an inn, freshened up and tidied up, and then went to the teahouse restaurant.

This is also what the eldest lady confessed, let him inquire about the little son of the Zhou family in the Protector's Mansion first.

In fact, there is no need to inquire, these days, there are rumors in the capital that Zhou Gu, the little son of the Zhou family, and Xie Lin, the little prince of the Ruian Palace, fought on the street in order to rob women.

It is said that the woman is Qin Luan, the second daughter of Cheng Qin Yuan in the imperial history who committed the crime not long ago, and after Qin Yuan was beheaded, the daughter of the Qin family was made a slave. Qin Luan is beautiful, proficient in poetry and songs, and is a famous talented woman in the capital. Zhou Gu and Xie Lin had long fallen in love with people, and as soon as the beauty was in trouble, the two of them got the news and immediately snatched the person to their own home.

So, two groups of people collided on the street, and no one gave in, so they fought.

It is said that Zhou Gu single-handedly beat a bunch of guards of the Ruian Palace, and beat the guards of the Ruian Palace, not only did he be unharmed, but also beat Xie Lin, and robbed people very arrogantly, and let him go, in the future, whether it was people or things, let Xie Lin get away.

Xie Lin was angry to death, but he had no choice but to watch the beauty being snatched away unwillingly.

If the matter is over here, there is nothing to say, at most it is a funny story made by two sons and brothers with good family backgrounds to increase the laughter and conversation of ordinary people.

But it's not over. Zhou Gu took people home, and as soon as he arrived at the door of the house, he saw the old protector standing at the door with a military stick waiting for him.

After the beating, the old protector warned him, saying that he had a marriage contract, and if he dared to bring other women into the door before the wedding, he would be killed. Now he is only half dead, but he has not brought anyone through the door.

The old protector didn't give Zhou Gu a chance to struggle at all, let him be carried into the mansion, and with a wave of his hand, he sent the white-faced Qin Luan into the palace, saying that His Majesty would call the shots and dispose of her whereabouts. After all, because she made such a big fuss, it is impossible for His Majesty to ignore it.

His Majesty naturally heard about it and wanted to reprimand the two people for messing around, but one was beaten by the other, and the other was not good, and he was also beaten for half his life. Your Majesty has nothing to say, just let Prince Rui and the Protector of the Kingdom have a good life and raise their children and grandchildren, rob women in the street and fight, and make such nonsense, what are you like?

So, His Majesty took this matter lightly, and did not cure Qin Luan's crime, but used her as a palace maid, saying that the prince had not yet served the people around, let the queen mother train and send her to the East Palace to serve the prince!

What is the status of the crown prince? In this way, neither of them has to rob anymore!

After all, the capital and Jiangning are separated by thousands of miles, and it is inconvenient to transmit the news.

After Li Yan learned what happened, he quietly inquired about Zhou Gu's usual style and character.

Someone said: "Oh, the little son of the Zhou family, this year is sixteen, he looks very good, as soon as he goes on the street, the big girls and little daughters-in-law love to stare at him, and now it has not grown, and if it grows in two years, it will be amazing." ”

Someone said: "You said Zhou Gu, he is the youngest son of the Huguo Mansion, there are three elder brothers, and soon after the Duchess gave birth to him, the Duke of Guo died on the battlefield, and he is very fond of him." Fortunately, the old protector of the country taught strictly, usually he was not too arrogant, did not bully the good people, just fought with the children of the official eunuchs, and did not hear that he went in and out of the land of smoke and powder in the Red Mansion, that is, he loved horse racing in the middle of the night, and he went out of the city into the city, and we couldn't sleep well because of the noisy hooves of horses. ”

Someone said: "Zhou Xiaogongzi is said to have wanted to join the army since he was a child, but the old protector did not let him join the army, forcing him to go to the study with the princes from elementary school to listen to classes." Hehe, Zhou Xiaogongzi is good, every time he messes up with Mr. in class, either pulling people to fight crickets, or folding rice paper to make paper kites and flying to play, and accusing him of disrupting the class, and later was kicked out of the study by His Majesty, and asked him to go to the East Palace to be a companion to the prince. The prince's teachers are all strict, and the prince is also a decent character, and no one accompanies him to make trouble, so he behaves. ”

Someone said: "I really didn't hear that Zhou Xiaogongzi had a fiancée before, and it was the old protector who beat Zhou Gu that day, and everyone knew about it." I don't know which noble girl of the family can be worthy of the little prince Zhou of the Protector's Mansion. ”

"The Protector's Mansion is too strict, oops, we are all curious, which girl has been married to Zhou Xiaogongzi since he was a child?"

……

There are different opinions, and Zhou Gu has done a lot of things that can be said, and he is quite famous in the capital, but there is no big evil thing.

So, Li Yan had a spectrum in his heart, and on the day he inquired about the Protector's Mansion, he boarded the door of the Protector's Mansion.

After revealing his identity, the doorman looked him up and down in surprise and hurriedly went to tell him. It didn't take him long to wait, and the butler of the Protector's Mansion personally came out and welcomed him into the Protector's Mansion.

Li Yan secretly looked at the Protector Mansion, thinking that it was so magnificent, catching up with ten Jiangning Taishou Mansions, and it really deserved to be a first-class Princess's Mansion.

The old protector saw someone in the study, Li Yan presented the letter, and after the old protector saw it, he smiled, "Time flies so fast, it turns out that the little girl is almost over." ”

He said: "You rest in the house first, and the old man Rong will plan for a while, and then reply to your wife." ”

Li Yan should be.

The old protector ordered the housekeeper to arrange for Li Yan to stay, and asked him to send someone to call Zhou Gu to the study.

Zhou Gu was beaten by the old protector of the country, and lay on the bed for seven days, fortunately, his body bones were good, and after seven days, he was able to walk on the ground, and now half a month has passed, and the injury is almost healed.

He was stuffy in the house for half a month, on this day, he finally couldn't hold it back, wanted to go out of the house to play, just walked to the horse circle to take out his beloved horse, and heard someone call the old grandfather to let him go to the study.

Zhou Gu put down the reins of the horse, "I haven't gone out to cause trouble in the past half a month, what does my grandfather have to do with me?" He muttered as he walked, "I'm old and my hair is gray, why do you care about me so much?" ”

The next person wants to say who makes you the least worry-free, and the other sons are not as good as you. It stands to reason that the descendants of the military general's family are indeed more noisy than the descendants of the Wenchen family, but your noisy energy is really too much, and from childhood to adulthood, you can cause trouble better than others.

Zhou Gu came to the study of the old protector, lazily and lazily, "Grandfather! ”

The old protector was angry when he saw him, and stretched out his hand to point at him, "Look at you, you don't stand up, you don't sit, you're lazy and boneless, you're not in shape, your three brothers, one is more upright than the other, what about you?" It's really getting longer and more crooked, not to show off the descendants, and to fall into the lintel of my Protector's Mansion. ”

Zhou Gu said very much, "Grandfather, my three elder brothers have grown up in the army since they were children, and the discipline in the army is strict, so they are naturally well educated. What about me? Now you don't like me, but you didn't let me grow up in the army like them, and now you blame me? Why? ”

The old protector choked, and his old face was a little unbearable, "What kind of place is the study?" You're not good at studying. What kind of place is the East Palace? The countless strict teachers around the prince can't control you. If I had known that you had grown into such virtues, and that you had just been born, I would have strangled you. ”

Zhou Gu pursed his lips, "What you said is good, if you strangle me, can my grandmother and my mother do it?" ”

The old protector's heart hurts, and he regrets not being at the beginning, "Hey, they spoiled you." ”

It's not good to learn, you have to learn to rob women, he didn't get so angry when he was in the study and disturbed Mr. class.

He saw that Zhou Gu's nose was not a nose, and his eyes were not eyes, "Your Majesty has given Qin Luan to the crown prince, don't worry about it." ”

Zhou Gu snorted and didn't speak.

The old protector glared, "What kind of expression do you have?" That Qin Luan read a few poetry books and wrote a few poems about flowers and grass, and he was touted by a bunch of boys in the capital as higher than the sky, in my opinion, that's it. Don't be unconvinced, Qin Yuan's flamboyant thing was used as a gunman, especially if he didn't know it, he was a fool, he ruined the whole family, and he was also to blame, what good girl can he raise? ”

"Grandfather, you once told me not to slander people behind your back, have you forgotten?" Zhou Gu rolled his eyes.

The old protector coughed and glared, "What I said is the truth, you remember this clearly, why don't you remember what I said to you?" ”

He was not angry, "I told you a long time ago, you have a marriage contract that you have made since childhood, don't come nonsense, you should be a deaf ear?" Let me tell you, the children and grandchildren of our Protector's Mansion will not enter the door, nor will they be allowed to take concubines, nor will they have intercourse. This article cannot be violated by any descendant, and you are the same, have you heard? ”

"Got it, so what?" Zhou Gu was also not angry, he didn't want to take a concubine, and he didn't think about having a room.

"Therefore, if you have a marriage contract, you must not come nonsense, nor can you provoke other women at will, let alone snatch women from outside. Otherwise I'll break your legs. "The protector of the country said strongly.

Zhou Gu was angry, "It's okay if you made a marriage contract for me since I was a child, but you can get me a good one?" Why am I so unlucky? Since I was a child, I couldn't go to the army to follow my brothers, and even the marriage contract, you didn't let me feel sorry. ”

With a dark face, he asked, "Am I a little cabbage picked up from the field?" Can you do it to me alone? ”

The old protector also darkened his face, "What kind of bastard are you talking about?" You haven't seen other people's girls, why do you feel that you can't do it? ”

Zhou Gu snorted coldly, "A little girl in Jiangning County, listen, what kind of identity is this?" She is a concubine, how good can she be and how good she can be? ”

The old protector choked up, opened his mouth to refute, and was held back again.

Zhou Gu took the opportunity to put on an attitude, "I won't marry her!" ”
