In the middle of the night, I saw that Zhou Gu even said that he would go to Jiangning County, but he was unhappy in his heart, and he showed a look of resistance and annoyance on his face.

He pondered the way, thinking that if he didn't relieve the good son, he would have to be upset, and he wouldn't be able to eat or sleep well.

He thought about it for a long time, and finally he came up with a good idea, "Childe, you haven't been to Jiangning yet, have you?" The subordinates heard that although Jiangning is a small place, the customs are very good, and there are many interesting places, which are different from other places and are very prosperous. ”

"Where did you hear that?"

"Travelogue."

"Which travelogue? Why haven't I seen it? ”

"I sent it from the bookstore half a month ago, but aren't you upset because you were beaten by the old man? I heard that it was a travelogue in the Jiangzhou area, so I just threw it out. "Midnight Road.

Zhou Gu thought about it carefully, it seemed that there was really such a thing, because Jiangning County was in the Jiangzhou area, he was so bored at the time, he immediately said, "Go find it now." ”

Midnight nodded and turned to go.

After a while, Midnight brought a travelogue, brand new, and handed it to Zhou Gu, "That's from here." ”

Zhou Gu stretched out his hand to take it, flipped through it for a while, and became a little interested, "So you can take the opportunity to go out of Beijing to have fun?" ”

Midnight nodded straight.

Zhou Gu immediately sat up again and urged him, "Then you go and clean up, I have never been out of the door so far since I was a child, and I can take the opportunity to go out of Beijing to play this time." ”

After he finished speaking, he jumped out of bed again, "Grandfather said that he would leave in two days, what are you doing so late?" You go and tell your grandfather that I will set off tomorrow with the guard from Jiangning County. ”

He took his travelogue and walked out, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to Jiangning, I haven't seen His Highness for many days, I just went to the East Palace, tell him, and ask him if Jiangning is very fun by the way." You can arrange the rest. ”

After he finished giving instructions in one breath, the people rushed out of the Frost Forest Garden, went to the horse circle to lead the horse again, and went out of the house to the East Palace.

Midnight breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the son was willing to go, he didn't have to worry about following him, he immediately went to find the old protector.

As soon as the old protector went as soon as he heard Zhou Gu's explanation, he was still a little suspicious, "Isn't he not willing to go?" What are you doing in such a hurry? According to his original intention, the guards came from afar, and they had to let people rest for two days before leaving, and the gifts to the Su family and Su Rong should also be prepared.

Midnight explained the reason.

The old protector of the country blew his beard and glared, although Zhou Gu was not in a hurry to go to Jiangning because he wanted to see Su Rong, but he was willing to go to Jiangning after all, so he didn't say anything, and nodded, "Okay, tomorrow will be tomorrow, although the time is urgent, but the ceremony is not unprepared." ”

He called the housekeeper and instructed him to prepare a gift, emphasizing, "The gift list must be thick, everyone in the Su family must prepare a gift, and in addition, the gift to Miss Su Qi should be more valuable and more prepared." After the gift list is ready, show it to me. ”

The housekeeper was frightened, and hurriedly responded, thinking that the third son's family affairs had not yet been set, and the little son's family affairs were about to be put on the agenda.

So, the housekeeper and Midnight were busy, and the entire Protector Mansion soon learned the news that Zhou Gu was leaving for Jiangning tomorrow.

The eldest princess is the first princess to be awarded the title after the establishment of the Taizu Dynasty, named Sheng'an, is the daughter of Taizu, and the mother of the great-grandfather, the status is respected, and the only son of the protector who accompanied the ancestor to fight the world is the only son, that is, the old protector of the country today.

The old protector of the country accompanied his father with Taizu to lay down the Liang Jiangshan, and was married by Taizu, and married the eldest princess of Sheng'an to the Protector's Mansion.

Although the eldest princess of Sheng'an has her own princess mansion, she has been vacant all her life, and has been accompanying the old protector to live in the princess's mansion, and the husband and wife are harmonious.

The old protector and the eldest princess of Sheng'an had three sons and one daughter, the three sons have died in battle, and one daughter married Nanling, and now there are only three daughters-in-law left in the house, as well as four grandsons and five granddaughters left by the three sons. Zhou Gu is the smallest one, so he is spoiled.

After the old protector finished his order, he went back to the inner courtyard.

When the eldest princess of Sheng An saw him come back, she asked, "I heard that Jiang Ning sent someone over there?" Brother Gu wants to leave for Jiangning immediately? ”

The old protector nodded, sat down and said, "There is still a month, and the little girl will be in time, and the eldest lady of the Su family sent a letter to ask me, what kind of charter is it?" To put it mildly, if the contract is broken, the Su family is also willing. ”

The eldest princess of Sheng An was stunned, "Let's break the contract with the Protector Mansion, and the Su family is happy?" ”

"That's what it means." The old protector commented, "The eldest lady of the Su family is open-minded, she didn't feel inferior because she felt that she was attached to the Protector Mansion, and she was stammered, and the child chose the Su family to live in the beginning, but she didn't choose it wrong." At least this eldest lady, although she has never met anyone, is sensible between the lines. ”

The eldest princess of Sheng An sighed, "Eight years ago, that child went, we got the news, I wanted to bring people to the capital, so as to cultivate a relationship with Brother Gu, but you said that you were afraid that the little girl would come to Beijing to live in the Protectorate Mansion, and felt that sending people under the fence would develop a sensitive mind, so it was better to stay in Jiangning." But now it's good, Brother Gu is not happy, don't be a grudge, you will grow a long life, but you will not be harmonious and beautiful, isn't it evil? ”

"Is that really ruining the engagement?" The old protector asked rhetorically.

"Brother Gu said that he would rather leave the house than fulfill the marriage contract?" The eldest princess of Sheng An asked.

"That's not true, it's just that my face is full of displeasure." The old protector shook his head, "I asked him to go to Jiangning in person to participate in the little girl's ceremony, although I told him categorically that he couldn't regret the marriage, but after he went, if he saw someone, he felt very disliked, and he was still not willing to marry, and if the little girl also had no intention of marrying, then it would be fine." ”

The eldest princess of Sheng An pondered for a moment, "That's fine." ”

She comforted the old protector, "You don't need to worry, that little girl hasn't grown up in front of us since she was a child, and she doesn't know what kind of temperament she has grown into. Two people live a lifetime, and they still have to be good with Hemeimei. ”

The old protector agreed, "If you can't be a husband and wife, you can be a brother and sister, but you can do it." After all, we have to take care of it. ”

"That's right. With this arrangement, presumably the child's spirit in heaven will not blame us. The eldest princess of Sheng An said, feeling sad, "It's a pity that child, what a good child, in the end, he died of illness at a young age." ”

She was angry and hateful, "It's all the ambition of Da Wei Liangzi." ”

"Hey, it's useless to talk more, anyway, when Zhou Gu goes to Jiangning and meets people, let's talk about it!" The old protector still hopes that this family affair will be successful, "back then, she sacrificed her life to take righteousness, saved Daliang, and saved me from dying on the battlefield, it is righteousness in the country, and it is kindness and righteousness in my country's mansion, if the little girl marries in, she must not be treated badly as her only flesh and blood." ”

The eldest princess of Sheng An nodded, "Naturally, although Gu Ge'er is messing around, he is kind-hearted and sensible, if he tells him what happened back then, he will probably ......."

The old protector waved his hand to stop her, "The less people know about the things of the past, the better, Zhou Gu's kid is still too young and unstable now, so it is no good for him to know what happened back then." As far as I know, Jiang Ning is also hiding from the little girl, waiting for her to grow up. Even if those old things will be known one day, but it is not now, more things are better than less things, marry people into the door first. ”

The eldest princess of Sheng An thought about it, so she gave up.

After the old couple reached an agreement in private, they sent someone to call their eldest daughter-in-law, the Duchess of Guo, and mentioned with her that Zhou Gu was about to go to Jiangning, Zhou Gu's attitude, and their plans.

The eldest princess of Sheng'an worships the Buddha all the year round, and the Duchess of the Kingdom is in charge of the affairs of the entire Protector Mansion, and she is a decisive and clear person, after listening to the plan of the second elder, she nodded, "What the father-in-law and mother said is that the daughter-in-law has no opinion, so let's decide!" ”

She smiled again, "You don't need to worry about the second elder, her child must not be wrong, Brother Gu is not in tune, and I am also worried that I have wronged other girls." ”

The eldest princess of Sheng An also smiled, "Did you say that about your own children?" Gu Ge'er is still young, and if he is two years older, he will be stable. ”

"He's in this nature, I don't know when I'll be able to settle down? studied with the prince in the East Palace for several years, but he didn't grow. The Duchess shook her head with a smile, "Look at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince again, he has been steady since he was a child, and he deserves to be the prince." ”

"The prince has a heavy responsibility, Gu Ge'er has no burden on his shoulders, he can't be compared, I don't think there's anything wrong with his temperament." The eldest princess of Sheng An said: "Take that Qin Luan as an example, after being beaten, didn't he make a fuss about dying or living?" That's pretty good. In the past few years he has been in the East Palace, he has still grown. ”

When she mentioned this Duchess of the country, she wondered, "My daughter-in-law is also wondering, I haven't heard that he likes the little girl of the Qin family, why did he go to rob people." ”

After she finished speaking, she said: "I just heard that he left the house and went to the East Palace, and today that Qin Luan was also trained by the queen mother and sent to the East Palace, he didn't get the news and ran to see that Qin Luan, right?" ”

"Nonsense!" The old protector didn't know that Zhou Gu was out of the house.

The eldest princess of Sheng'an saw that the old protector was about to be angry, and immediately said: "It's not necessarily that I went to see that Qin Luan, he is still sensible, maybe he wants to leave Beijing and inform the prince." ”

Duchess Guo thought it was possible, "I have already sent someone to the East Palace with me, and my father-in-law can rest assured that he will not let him mess around anymore." ”

The old protector was a little angry, "This bastard thing, from childhood to adulthood, does not make people worry. ”

Zhou Gu naturally didn't know that his grandfather, grandmother and mother had proper plans for his marriage, and after he rode to the East Palace, it happened to be a coincidence that the palace people sent Qin Luan into the East Palace.

Zhou Gu himself was shocked, thinking to himself what kind of dog luck he was, how could he be so coincidental? I didn't come early, I didn't come late, but I came to the East Palace at this time, but I encountered this incident.

He wanted to turn around and leave, but was stopped by the palace steward, "Hello Little Master Zhou!" ”

Zhou Gu grabbed the reins of the horse, stiffened, and said with a tense face: "I came to see His Royal Highness the Prince, I don't know if His Highness is here?" ”

The implication is that don't get me wrong, I'm not here for Qin Luan, I'm here to see the prince, there's something wrong.

The head of the palace said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is said to be here, please ask for it first, little prince." ”

Zhou Gu accompanied the study in the East Palace for a few years, and it was not until the prince took on important court affairs this year that he did not need to come to accompany him, just waiting for Jin Qiu to end. Therefore, when he came to the East Palace, he never needed to be reported, he only needed to show his waist card, and the people in the East Palace would let him in.

So, Zhou Gu turned over and dismounted, without squinting, and strode into the East Palace.

Qin Luan kept hanging his head, standing in a proper manner, and didn't look at Zhou Gu, Gong Yi learned very well.

The head of the palace was more satisfied with Qin Luan's performance, and after Zhou Gu left for a while, the housekeeper of the East Palace came to greet him, and only then took Qin Luan into the East Palace.
