After Su Rong returned to the courtyard, Yuewan came out of the house crookedly.

She rubbed her eyes and said, "Miss, why have you been walking with Zhou Xiaogongzi for so long today?" I'm sleepy. ”

Su Rong glanced at her and patted her head, "Sleepy, sleepy, what are you waiting for me to do?" When did I keep you waiting? ”

Yuewan nodded and sighed, "You never let me wait, but didn't the eldest lady say that I also have to learn the rules?" In the future, I will accompany you to marry into the Protectorate Mansion, if my rules are too bad, I will not be able to stand. ”

Over the years, there has been such an unruly master as Miss, and she, a maidservant, has no rules.

Su Rong reached out and pinched her face, "You can learn other rules, but I don't have to learn this when I sleep." I've got the final say. ”

Yuewan nodded sleepily and asked curiously, "Miss, what are you doing with Zhou Xiaogongzi today?" It's almost a day before I come back. ”

"I took him to the night market." Su Rong felt that it was better not to scare her, and waved his hand, "Go to sleep!" ”

Yuewan said "oh", turned around and walked two steps, suddenly turned around, and said sadly: "Miss, when you left the house before, you would bring me food back." ”

Su Rong spread his hands, "In the middle of the night, aren't you afraid of growing meat?" ”

"Yes." Moonbend muttered back to her room.

Su Rong was amused, entered the room, and as if he came back from outside every time, he untied his coat, threw himself on the bed, and fell asleep directly.

She had no heart or lungs, she fell asleep quickly, and after Zhou Gu returned to the guest house, she couldn't sleep at all.

He was angry when he thought that Su Rong actually took him to Qingqilou, but he was a little worried that Su Xing would clean her up, but he was sent away by him in the middle of the night, and he was not good at going out to find out about the movements of the two brothers and sisters, in case he was discovered, he would be embarrassed.

He tossed and turned in bed until it was almost dawn, and then he fell asleep.

On the second day, Su Xing invited the teaching grandmother to arrive, but Su Rong did not resist and followed the grandmother to learn the rules. Over the years, her rules have not been very good, and she herself knows that it is one thing for her to be able to abide by the rules in the future, but it is another thing to understand the rules or not. Therefore, I also studied seriously, at least, as the eldest lady said, when it is time to pretend, you must also pretend to be, so as not to be laughed at when you go to the capital in the future.

Zhou Gu slept until almost noon, and when he woke up, he learned that Su Xing was waiting for him outside, and he was a little embarrassed, and walked out, "Brother Su, I'm sorry to keep you waiting." ”

"No problem." Su Xing shook his head, knowing that he was afraid that he didn't sleep well last night, and didn't ask him why, but said, "Haven't you always wanted to see Mr. Xie?" Mr. Xie came back last night, and I will take you to see him today. ”

Zhou Gu's eyes lit up, "Okay!" ”

He was just about to take a step forward and pull Su Xingze out, but he immediately paused, scratched his head, and said embarrassedly: "That, Brother Su, I have to clean up." Wait a little longer. ”

"There's no hurry." Su Xing nodded.

Zhou Gu immediately went back to the room, freshened up and changed clothes, and after cleaning up, he walked out again, already refreshed.

Xie Yuan is the same age as Su Xu, but probably because he has not been hollowed out by wine, he is very clean, he has been alone for many years, and his life is regular, so he looks younger than Su Xu, and he has never been blessed in middle age, handsome and elegant.

Zhou Gu was stunned for a moment when he saw Su Xu for the first time, the legendary Xie Yuan actually looked so young, you must know that the Qin Taifu of the East Palace respected Xie Yuan very much, and the Qin Taifu had a lot of beard, and he thought that Xie Yuan was about the same.

He was polite, "Juniors take care of each other, meet Mr. Xie." ”

Xie Yuan looked at Zhou Gu, and was also surprised that the rumored Zhou Xiaogongzi of the Protectorate Mansion was so polite, he smiled and waved his hand weakly, "Zhou Xiaogongzi is exempt from courtesy, no need to be polite." ”

Zhou Gu straightened up, "The younger generation has admired Mr. Jiu's name, and it is an honor to see him today." ”

Xie Yuan smiled, "Is the old man still healthy?" I haven't seen Lao Guogong for more than ten years. ”

"My grandfather is in good health, and he also mentioned Mr. to his juniors, and it is a pity that Mr. Yan could not stay in the court." Zhou Gu said.

Xie Yuan shook his head with a smile, "For the people of the society, I am not confined to the court, I stayed in Jiangning, although I am far away from the court, but I have never left the people's livelihood, I don't regret it." ”

Zhou Gu nodded, "Jiangning County is under the governance of Uncle Su and you, and the people are happy and thriving, so it is really a good place." The night is not closed, the road is not left behind, there is no riot, there is no homeless people, there are no beggars, the people are rich in food and clothing, if it is not for the younger generations to see it with their own eyes, they would not have imagined that there is such a happy place in the world, what Mr. said is very true. ”

"Without a beggar, I don't dare to take credit." Xie Yuan motioned for Zhou Gu to sit, "It's Lao Su who has managed it well." ”

Zhou Gu admired it very much, "I also discussed it with Uncle Su, but Uncle Su said that it was Mr. Xie's credit, and you two are really humble." ”

Xie Yuan laughed, "This old Su! ”

He turned to Su Xing and asked, "What has Xiao Qi been doing lately?" ”

Su Xing glanced at Zhou Gu, "Learn to be in charge, learn the rules." ”

Xie Yuan nodded and smiled again, "It's rare that she can settle down and learn steadily, over the years, she has learned a lot of other miscellaneous things, but the word rules, I don't want to learn or keep it." ”

Su Xing was noncommittal. In the past, she didn't want to learn, because she didn't think that the Protectorate Mansion would not regret her marriage, but now he invited her to teach Mama, she did not resist the rules and regulations to learn, it can be seen that she is a little concerned about Zhou Gu and marrying the Protector Mansion.

Xie Yuan looked at Zhou Gu again, "For many years, I haven't seen anyone from the Protector Mansion, and I thought that the marriage contract between you and Xiao Qi would not be counted." ”

Zhou Gu's face was unnatural, "Although the younger generation has always known that there is this marriage contract, but because of his young age, he has never thought about it, and his grandfather has always kept his promises, and he has made a number, but the time has not come, saying that he is afraid that the Protector Mansion will make a big move, and he will move around too early, disturbing the purity of Jiangning County." ”

Xie Yuan smiled and nodded, "The old man is thinking about it very much, but we misunderstood." ”

He smiled again: "Xiao Qi's temperament has jumped out since he was a child, and he was born very different from ordinary daughters, he doesn't like to be bound to the boudoir literate embroidery and painting, he only loves the people's livelihood outside the high wall, Lao Su and Mrs. can't restrain her, only I can listen to her, as her first teacher, I can't bear to restrain her most of the time, and I have a lot of indulgence to her, so that I have not been able to correct her character." As she grows older, her temperament becomes more and more stubborn. Therefore, I thought that the Protector's Mansion was high, and if this marriage contract was annulled, it would not necessarily be a bad thing for her, after all, there were many rules in the Gaomen compound. ”

Zhou Gu immediately said: "Compared with the major mansions in Beijing, the Protector Mansion is not a heavy rule. He paused and added ashamedly, "When I was in the house, I was often taught by my grandfather to be unruly. ”

Xie Yuan smiled, "Now I know, the old man has made a promise, and since he sent you, he wants to keep the contract." ”

Zhou Gu breathed a sigh of relief.
