Chapter 29: Anger
The big kitchen was busy, and the cook took out twelve points of ability to make a big table of whole fish feast.
During the banquet, Zhou Gu was still next to Su Rong, Su Rong often eats fish, for things like fish, from catching to killing to eating, she used clean chopsticks to pick the fish bones neatly, put them on a clean plate, and then put them in front of Zhou Gu.
Zhou Gu turned his head to look at her, no one had ever picked a fish bone for him.
Su Rong winked at him, "I see that you eat slowly, help you." β
Zhou Gu's expression was a little unnatural, "Thank you." β
Su Rong smiled, "You're welcome." β
The two of them spoke very quietly, but they were still very attention-grabbing.
The eldest lady was very satisfied, thinking that Xiao Qi, this girl, had finally not bothered to teach in vain, and she knew how to coax people. The rest of the aunts and ladies were shocked, thinking that there was really no such thing as a cold heart and cold lungs, and if someone was really cold-hearted, it was because she hadn't met a man who made her not cold-hearted. For example, Su Rong in the past, and Su Rong today.
Su Taishou was happy in her heart, and pulled Zhou Gu to drink, "Nephew Zhou Xian, we didn't drink at noon, we can have a good time this night, right?" β
Zhou Gu nodded, "Try your best to accompany you, uncle." β
Su Taishou laughed, "Come on, come on, drink." β
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Su Taishou patted Zhou Gu on the shoulder, and said with a big tongue: "Virtuous nephew, my little seven, but the top is good, you just know her now, and you don't understand her good, after a long time, you will know." β
Zhou Gu thought to himself, it won't take long, she is so capable, he has already gained a lot of knowledge.
"My little seven, since she was a child, she has been different from other daughters' families, she ...... Ahem...... Madame, what are you screwing me for? Su Taishou wanted to talk to Zhou Gu and said, his back hurt, and he turned his head to look at the eldest lady.
The eldest lady immediately said, "You drank too much. β
Mrs. Su held her forehead, "Did I drink too much?" β
"Yes, you drank too much, the virtuous nephew has been tired for a day, don't pull him to talk nonsense, go back and rest." The eldest lady naturally couldn't let Su Taishou get drunk and expose Su Rong's shortcomings, Su Rong's reputation can be bad in the hands of others, but not in the hands of her father, others say bad things about Su Rong, she can scold a rumor with confidence, but if her father talks nonsense, she is really going to die, and she can't kill her husband.
"Oh, the virtuous nephew is tired, then don't talk about it, let's drink it another day." Su Taishou has an advantage, listening to people's persuasion, which is reflected at this time.
Zhou Gu regretted in his heart, he wanted to hear more about how Su Rong was different from other daughters, but unfortunately, he could only give up.
Su Taishou's Mansion is lively and lively, and the atmosphere is very good. On the contrary, the atmosphere in Jiangzhou Thorn Mansion is not so good.
Jiangzhou Assassin Shi Jiang Sheng heard about his daughter's trouble today, and he was furious and scolded Jiang Yunying, "You haven't figured out the identity of the people around Su Rong's concubine, how can you open your mouth and scold such ugly words?" Has your brain been eaten by a dog? β
Jiang Yunying cried vigorously, and the wound on her neck was soaked in blood because she cried too much.
Ning Chi arched his hand, "Uncle Jiang, Sister Jiang already knows that she is wrong, don't scold her, even I didn't expect that person to be Zhou Gu, if I had known earlier, I should have stopped it earlier." β
"She provoked someone to draw her sword with a word, how can you blame you for not stopping it earlier?" Jiang Sheng couldn't do it, "Nephew Ning Xian, you don't have to say good things to her, she's really used to her." β
Jiang Sheng ordered angrily, "Come on, from today onwards, punish the eldest lady ......"
"Uncle Jiang, Sister Jiang is already injured, so there is no need for this punishment, right? Let's not take this as an example! If you punish Sister Jiang, even I will be punished. After all, it was Jiangning County that accompanied me to provoke this incident. Ning Chi pleaded again, "What's more, tomorrow when I go to Jiang Ning Taishou Mansion, Sister Jiang will also go to make amends in person, and today she is also frightened, so let her rest earlier!" β
Jiang Sheng sighed, "Hey, nephew Ning Xian, you are really ......"
He was furious, "If you weren't involved by her, how could you declare your identity?" Zhou Gu has been an accompaniment to the East Palace for several years, although the Protector Mansion did not take refuge in the East Palace, but Zhou Gu and the East Palace are known to everyone, and he is half of the East Palace. Now that you meet him, you have blown up your identity again, and I am afraid that you will not be able to hide the news of your coming to Jiangzhou. β
"If you can't hide it, you can't hide it." Ning Chi smiled, "Anyway, sooner or later, it will be known." β
"That's sooner rather than later." Jiang Sheng was annoyed, and glared at Jiang Yunying again, "It's all a good thing you did!" β
Jiang Yunying just cried and couldn't say a word.
"Uncle, no one expected this to happen, don't blame Sister Jiang, she has been scared enough today, she will have nightmares at night, or let someone boil her a bowl of soothing soup."
Although Jiang Sheng was angry in his heart, his only concubine was still counting on her to marry, so naturally he couldn't be frightened, so he took the opportunity to go down the steps, "That's it." Since you interceded for her, you will spare her punishment today. β
He made a straight face to Jiang Yunying, "For Ning Shizi's sake, I won't punish you today, keep your eyes open in the future, don't open the sinner without figuring out the identity of the person, and cause trouble for the family." β
Jiang Yunying nodded with tears in her eyes.
"Let's go down!" Jiang Sheng waved his hand.
Jiang Yunying was helped down by the maidservant.
Mrs. Thorn Shi didn't speak, mainly because she was so frightened that she still hadn't come back to her senses, she confirmed again and again, "That little girl's fiancΓ© is really Zhou Gu of the Protector's Mansion?" β
"Auntie, I can testify that Zhou Gu is right." Ning Chi is sure.
"Y-How could he, how could he have a marriage contract with a little concubine?" Mrs. Thorn Shi is very puzzled, whoever says this, it's all fantastic, right? It's incredible.
Ning Chi was also shocked and surprised, he didn't understand it on the way back, "I don't know the inside story, but listening to that meaning, I have been engaged to a marriage contract since I was a child." β
"So, three years ago, what Mrs. Su said was true." Mrs. Thorn Shi's face was very ugly, she was angry at first, and thought that the Su family was fooling her to shirk responsibility, but she didn't expect it to be true.
She looked at Jiang Tingshi, "Master, look at this matter......"
"It's all you! At the beginning, I had to hold on to someone, but now it's good, where is my old face? Where does your face go? Your good daughter! Jiang Tingshi was annoyed, "Why don't you hurry up and prepare for the ceremony, tomorrow morning, follow me to Jiangning County." β
To apologize to Zhou Gu, it is natural to have sincerity, and it is indispensable to say good things to Su Taishou and his wife.
Mrs. Thorn Shi was a little unwilling, she had better save face, she asked tentatively: "Do you have to go to the master and me to make amends in person?" That little boy, although he was from a good background, he didn't have a half-official ......"
Jiang Tingshi said angrily: "What did your good daughter scold people? Do you think he would spare himself if he didn't apologize in person? Are you really waiting for the old protector to come out and protect the calf? And then don't shed tears if you don't see the coffin? Confused! β
Mrs. Thorn Shi's body trembled, "I'll go now!" β
Jiang Tingshi turned his head and sighed at Ning Chi, "Virtuous nephew, let you see it!" It's the old man who doesn't govern the family strictly. β
Ning Chi shook his head, "Don't blame my uncle, who would have thought that the youngest son of the Protector Mansion would have a marriage contract with a little concubine in the Jiangning Taishou Mansion since she was a child?" In particular, Zhou Gu still lives in the Taishou Mansion, and it is said that she came for her courtesy, which shows that she attaches great importance to it. β
He was puzzled, "A few days ago, I heard that Zhou Gu and Xie Lin fought to rob Qin Luan, the daughter of Cheng Qin Yuan in the former imperial history, and now in a short period of time, they actually appeared in Jiangning County to accompany their fiancΓ©e, which is really confusing." β
Jiang Tingshi couldn't figure it out, "Indeed, hey, let's talk about it when Ming'er sees Zhou Gu!" This matter should not be made big, otherwise it will be detrimental to the old man. He patted Ning Chi on the shoulder again, "Virtuous nephew, it is not appropriate to make mistakes in the marriage between our two families, otherwise it will be unfavorable to His Highness." β
"Uncle is right, Ming'er, I will go to the Taishou Mansion with you and your aunt." Ning Chi stated.
Jiang Tingshi was satisfied, "Okay! β
