Chapter Seventy-Two: Try (2nd Watch)

After Su Xingze left, Zhou Gu touched his chin and thought, Su Xingze, if he is a person in Jinbang High School in the future, he will definitely be able to have a smooth ride. A person who is as cold as the moon, but he is thoughtful and thoughtful, which is really rare.

The prince must be happy to help Donggong Duo Su Xing.

Thinking of the prince, Zhou Gu immediately called Zhou Xi and asked him, "The person the prince asked him to find, do you have eyebrows?" ”

Zhou Xi shook his head, "Hui Gongzi, there are no eyebrows, I have searched all over the place, there is no such person, is the prince mistaken?" None of the fishing girls met. ”

Zhou Gu frowned, "Expand the scope and continue to search." ”

Zhou Xi nodded, "I can only turn the entire Jiangning County over, in this way, is there too much movement?" If it attracts attention, it will deviate from the original intention of His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Zhou Gu thought about it and made a decision, "In this way, it is still the same as before, but the scope will be expanded, I will write a letter to ask the prince and ask him what he means." ”

Zhou Xi bowed, "This is good, although the place in Jiangning is small, if you really find someone with no name and no surname, it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, and you can't be in a hurry." ”

Zhou Gu nodded.

Su Rong heard that he didn't have to learn the rules, and Zhou Gu didn't need Su Xing to accompany him, so he was very happy and planned to go to Zhou Gu.

She walked out of the door, turned back again, and asked Yuewan, "Did you send the watermelon from Uncle Xie to Zhou Gu?" ”

"Send it!" Yuewan didn't know, "Zhou Xiaogongzi is a distinguished guest of our house, and there are good things, and it is impossible for the eldest lady not to send them over." ”

"That's right. But there are many guards in his yard, and he probably doesn't have enough to eat. Su Rong instructed Yuewan, "You go to the cellar and get a watermelon, and I'll take it and go to Zhou Gu." ”

Yuewan nodded and turned to go.

After a while, Yuewan took out a watermelon, "Miss, do you want to accompany you with a slave?" ”

"No, you don't." Su Rong took the watermelon and walked away.

Zhou Gu was waiting for Su Rong to come and find her, and after waiting for a while, he didn't see her coming, so he was puzzled, took a book, and lazily lay on the recliner while reading and waiting.

As soon as I read two pages, someone said, "Childe, Miss Seven is here!" ”

Zhou Gu immediately raised his head from behind the book and looked out the window, only to see Su Rong's slender wrist holding a large watermelon, the big watermelon looked more than ten catties, but she didn't have a hard time walking, it was very relaxed.

Zhou Gu remembered the first time he saw her, for fear that she would be blown down by a gust of wind, and at that time, he thought about it and disliked her for being too weak, which was too naΓ―ve.

He put down the scroll, walked to the door, and looked at Su Rong, "...... are you?"

Su Rong felt that his appearance of an idle boy really shook her eyes, she was too handsome, she squinted her eyes, "I heard that you didn't leave the house today, so I came to look for you." She swept the watermelon in her hand, "Let's eat watermelon together." ”

Zhou Gu thought that he had never seen a girl since he was a child, and he would hold a big watermelon and say to someone, "Let's eat watermelon together!" He silently opened the door and invited her into the house.

Su Rong entered the house, and at the same time instructed a small servant who was sweeping in the yard, "Go and get a knife and two spoons." ”

The little guy should have been, and went immediately.

"The knife is used to cut watermelon, and what is the spoon used for?" Zhou Gu was puzzled.

"You'll find out in a moment." Su Rong put the watermelon on the table and rubbed his wrist, "The watermelon that Uncle Xie brought back two days ago is very sweet, and my mother sent someone to bring it to you, right?" Have you tasted it? ”

Zhou Gu nodded, "I tasted it, it was very sweet." ”

The little guy quickly brought a knife and two spoons.

Su Rong personally waved the knife, with a neat technique, divided the watermelon into two, then put the knife down, and inserted the two spoons on the watermelon pulp respectively, half of which was pushed to Zhou Gu, and half was kept for herself, under Zhou Gu's doubts, she held half of the watermelon and dug a big bite with a spoon and ate it, "Oh, that's it, eat!" ”

Zhou Gu was dumbfounded.

Watermelon is scarce in the capital, every year in season, transported to the capital from afar, the price of a watermelon will cost ten taels of silver, sometimes it will rise to twenty taels of silver, ordinary people can't afford to eat it at all, of course the Huguo Mansion does not have this burden, the supply of melons and fruits all year round is continuous, no matter how expensive, you can afford to eat, the East Palace is needless to say, Zhou Gu has never lacked fresh melons and fruits.

He used to eat watermelon, and he was cut into a crescent moon shape and eaten by people, or cut small pieces into plates and eaten with bamboo sticks, which was the first time he had seen Su Rong eat in such a bold way.

"Am you scared of me?" Su Rong saw that Zhou Gu didn't move for a long time, and recommended him seriously, "This is really delicious, you can try it." ”

Zhou Gu was in a complicated mood, "This watermelon, there are ten catties, right?" You and I are half of each person, and this way of eating is five catties per person......"

He wanted to say he didn't have that much of an appetite.

What is the concept of five catties?

Even if Zhou Gu could eat it himself, looking at Su Rong's slender body, he was very skeptical that she could eat it? You won't eat some of it, and throw the rest away, right? That's also a waste.

"Gee, isn't there another day? I'm sure I'll be able to finish eating, and I won't need to drink water today. Su Rong dug another spoonful, and ate satisfied, "I still have a refreshing watermelon from the cellar to relieve the heat." Jiangning also produces watermelons, but it was off the market a month ago, Uncle Xie knew that I loved to eat this, so he specially brought it back, because it grew on the hillside, and the sunshine was abundant, which was much sweeter than that in the Jiangning depression. ”

Zhou Gu nodded reluctantly, seeing that Su Rong was eating well, he followed her example, dug a spoonful, ate it into his mouth, and suddenly felt cool and sweet, he dug another spoonful and ate it, and ate three spoonfuls in a row before saying to Su Rong: "This way of eating seems to be very refreshing." ”

Su Rongle, "That's nature, water is not lost." ”

Zhou Gu looked at her bright smile, shook his eyes, and ate silently for a while, thinking in his heart, Su Rong seemed to be very good at eating, and she could eat a trick when anything came to her, she didn't know where she learned the idea, it was weird.

Zhou Xi came to Zhou Gu with a letter, and when he saw two people talking and laughing at the sitting, one of them had half of the hollowed out watermelon in front of him, he was surprised, he thought about it or not to bother, he came again in a while, he was just about to turn around, Zhou Gu had seen him, and asked him, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhou Xi could only turn his head back and smile and arch his hand, "Miss Seven!" ”

Su Rong smiled and nodded at Zhou Xi.

Zhou Xi said to Zhou Gu at this time: "Son, it is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who has written it." ”

See you tomorrow~
