Back at the Protector's Mansion, it was already completely dark.

After Zhou Gu sent the eldest princess of Sheng An back to her residence, she walked slowly back to her Frost Forest Garden.

The people sent by the Duchess waited at the gate of Shuanglin Garden, and when they saw Zhou Gu coming back, they gave him a salute, "Fourth son, Mrs. asked the little one to come to you and wait, and when you come back, I will give her a good life." ”

Zhou Gu nodded and waved his hand, "Tell my mother, grandmother is amazing, I am unharmed, let her rest early." ”

"Okay." The little guy answered and left.

Zhou Gu entered the house.

He didn't feel sleepy, sat down at the table, poured a cup of tea, and sat dry.

Midnight probe looked several times, saw that the light in Zhou Gu's house has not been extinguished, the master is not sleeping, he naturally can't go to sleep, he glanced at the sky, the hour is not early, can't help but lie at the door of Zhou Gu probe and ask: "Childe, why don't you sleep yet?" Can't sleep? ”

Zhou Gu said "um".

Midnight pushed open the door and walked into the house, and sat down with Zhou Gu, "Are you because you were just summoned by His Majesty?" ”

"It's not."

"And who are you?"

Zhou Gu glanced at him, "I'm thinking about Su Rong." ”

opened his eyes wide in the middle of the night, how short has it been, and Childe has already thought that Miss Su Qi can't sleep?

Zhou Gu glared at him, "It's not what you think." I'm thinking, what she does, it seems that there is a reason, at least, in the month I have known her, everything she has done with me has an element of temptation, so is it also tempting me to give me those extremely expensive clothes? Or is it something else? ”

"Huh?" Midnight didn't understand, he couldn't follow Childe all the way, so naturally he didn't know what happened to Childe and Miss Su Qi during the time he was responsible for stopping the Duanhua County Lord.

Zhou Gu twisted his fingertips, "Eighteen thousand gold, at least 180,000 taels." ”

He looked at Midnight, "Are ordinary people unable to spend it in three lifetimes?" ”

"Yes, yes!" Midnight had already dropped his jaw when he heard Zhou Xi say, and he hadn't digested this matter yet. Now this matter is no secret in the Protector's Mansion, but the lady is afraid that it will not be good for Zhang Yang to go out, so she knocked all the insiders in the mansion and sealed her mouth.

"So, why did she give me so many clothes?" Zhou Gu asked herself, "Even if I don't know the true value of those clothes, as long as I wear them back, it is impossible to hide this matter from my family, does she want to tell everyone in the Protector's Mansion that although her status is low, her net worth is thick, and she will not be able to climb me?" ”

Midnight scratched her head, "Didn't you ask Miss Seven directly?" ”

"I thought it was only 10,000 taels of silver, but later Xie Lin said that my private money was not enough for those clothes and fabrics, so I thought it was only tens of thousands of taels, which was not a big deal." Zhou Gu really thinks so, although he doesn't have enough money in his private house, but his family can give him a back, anyway, he still has the private property of the shop he received since he was a child, and he can always make up for it.

Midnight felt that Childe was right, but who made Miss Seven so generous, he asked, "Childe, does Miss Seven have a lot of money?" ”

"I don't know." When Zhou Gu first went to Jiangning County, he thought that Su Rong was a little concubine and had no money, but later as he came into contact, he found that he seemed to underestimate her ability, she was very good at eating in the entire Jiangning County, and wherever she went, someone bought it, "She should have a lot of money!" ”

What is rare is that there is no trace of wealth in her, if she hadn't taken him to the third floor herself, if she hadn't given him so many clothes, he wouldn't have been surprised that his fiancée was very rich.

"Miss Seven is amazing." Midnight worship.

Zhou Gu thought of something else, and suddenly said, "You go and ask Zhou Xi, how much is the congratulatory gift I brought to Jiangning County?" ”

Midnight immediately got up and hurried away.

Not long after, he came back in the middle of the night and said to Zhou Gu: "Son, Steward Zhou said that if it is converted according to the value, it will be about 100,000 taels." ”

Zhou Gu's face suddenly turned bad, "At first, she said to give me ten sets of clothes. ”

Midnight didn't understand.

Zhou Gu said again: "If you calculate according to the best materials, it's not 100,000 taels." ”

Midnight's eyes widened.

Zhou Gu Teng got up, the whole person turned his back to look out of the window, the hand in his sleeve was clenched, the night outside the window was dark, the dark clouds on the horizon covered most of the bright moon, only revealing a faint moon-shaped outline, just like Su Rong, although she got along with him for a month, but she was eccentric, she never saw through, just like this day and the moon, hanging high in the sky, it seemed to be near, but in fact it was far away, and it was blocked by clouds, faintly, it was clearly the moon, but it was clear that she could not see the whole month.

Zhou Gu stared at it for a while, and suddenly sneered, "What a Su Rong!" Did she deliberately bring me back the gifts she had brought to congratulate her and give me back? ”

He gritted his teeth, "Then what's the matter with all these things she has now?" ”

He paused, his voice low, "Is it because of Jiang Sheng?" At the beginning, I confiscated Jiang Sheng's apology, and she also confiscated it, but we all know that on the day she and the ceremony, Jiang Sheng will give gifts to the door, and the gift will definitely not be light, and I will not ask for ......."

He remembered that the eldest lady told him one by one what gifts the Jiang family had given, and his face became more and more ugly, "Jiang Sheng's apology is almost seventy or eighty thousand taels......

He suddenly closed his eyes, "Doesn't it add up to the value of these clothes and fabrics?" ”

Midnight's breathing was light, and looking at Zhou Gu, he couldn't speak for a while, and he didn't dare to squeak.

Zhou Gujing stood for a while, then turned around and asked Midnight, "If my guess is right, she counted the congratulatory gift and Jiang Sheng's apology together, and returned it, what do you mean by her?" ”

I don't know in the middle of the night, so naturally I can't answer him.

Zhou Gu said again: "She sent me out of the city, saying that she was reluctant to me, but I didn't see much reluctance, and she said that she was not in a hurry to marry me." ”

He stared at Midnight and asked, "You say, doesn't she want to marry me?" So, you don't want to taint me, you don't want to take advantage of me to occupy the Protectorate Mansion? ”

Midnight didn't dare to say yes, but he couldn't say a no, so he said cautiously after a while: "Childe, do you want to be bad?" Maybe Miss Seven just gave you clothes? I heard Steward Zhou say, at that time, Steward Zhou was to inquire about which embroidery workshop in Jiangning County was good, and Miss Seven knew, Miss Seven said that she knew where it was good, she came to buy it, wrapped it on her, and said that she felt that the color of the clothes on your body was too dark and single, because your should have always been purchased by the eldest princess and Mrs., Miss Seven is your fiancée, she came to buy it, and it is reasonable, Steward Zhou felt that Miss Seven was not an outsider, so he responded. ”

"I'd rather I thought I'd be bad." Zhou Gu's face was still not good, "Prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, I'll write to her and ask her." ”

Hearing the words in the middle of the night, he immediately moved, and hurriedly spread the paper and ink.

Zhou Gu said that he would write, but he didn't hesitate to pick up the pen, and asked Su Rong directly, a letter, which was quickly written, and then, sealed it with wax, handed it to Midnight, "Tomorrow morning, send it to her." ”

Midnight nodded.

After Zhou Gu finished writing the letter, he simply didn't want to think about it, waved his hand at midnight, turned off the lights, and lay down on the bed to sleep.

Midnight put away the letter, closed the door, quietly retreated, and returned to his room, only to take a big breath, thinking that the expression on Childe's gloomy face just now was too scary. It's really time for the Duanhua County Lord to take a look, she must not dare to like Gongzi anymore. Compared with the son who coldly ignored people and looked bored, the murderous boy just now didn't dare to get close to the cow ghosts, snakes, and gods.

Early the next morning, just after dawn, at midnight, he arranged for the letter to be delivered out of the city.

At that time, the city gates had just opened, and the day's life had begun.

After Zhou Gu got up, he thought about it, and took out the clothes given to him by Su Rong from the cabinet, put on a brand new clothes, and left the Protector's Mansion and went to the East Palace.

When he arrived at the East Palace, the prince had just left the court, and the chariot came to the gate of the East Palace and bumped into him.

Zhou Gu turned over and dismounted, Yan Echo also got out of the carriage, Zhou Gu stepped forward to salute Yan Echo, "His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Yan Echo looked at Zhou Gu, a new set of new clothes, high-quality cloud brocade, moon white color, embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns, gold thread hook edge, there is no sunshine today, it is a cloudy day, but you can still see the brilliance on the fine fabric.

Zhou Gu was already handsome, but now wearing such clothes, it adds a bit of irrepressible freehand style.

Yan Huisheng pursed his lips, paused, and smiled, "No courtesy, go in and say." ”
