Chapter 126: Staying (2nd Update)
On the second day, Zhou Gu accompanied Su Xing to Shen Mansion to meet Shen Xian, the secretary of the ministry.
Shen Xianxia had just returned to the mansion, and he was going out after changing into civilian clothes, but when he walked to the door, he happened to meet Zhou Gu and Su Xingze, who came to meet him.
Shen Xian naturally knew Zhou Gu, and after Zhou Gu greeted him, he asked with a "hmm" expressionlessly, "What are you going to do?"
Zhou Gu replied, "Accompany someone."
"Huh?" Shen Xianyan looked at Su Xingze beside him.
Su Xing stepped forward to salute and reported to his family, "The younger Su Xingze, the father of the family, Su Xu, the teacher Xie Yuan, came to Beijing to catch the exam, before leaving, Mr. told the younger generation to come to meet Lord Shen."
Shen Xian was stunned for a moment, and he didn't leave the house anymore, he immediately turned around and said, "Come in with me!"
So, the two followed Shen Xian into the Shen Mansion.
Shen Xian took the two of them all the way to the study, and stretched out his hand to Su Xing, "Take it out!"
Su Xing took out Xie Yuan's letter of recommendation from his sleeve and handed it to Shen Xian.
Shen Xian opened it, and after looking at it, he sneered, "This Xie Yuan, I haven't heard from him for many years, and now that he suddenly has news, he will make trouble for this official."
He put down the letterhead, looked Su Xingze up and down, and asked him, "How many days have you been in Beijing, where do you live?"
Su Xing answered them one by one.
Shen Xian raised his eyebrows, "You've been in Beijing for more than ten days, and you haven't come to look for me, if it weren't for the eldest prince looking for you yesterday, wouldn't you plan to come to me?"
Su Xing was ashamed, "The junior didn't want to trouble the adult."
Shen Xian snorted, "Since Xie Yuan gave you this letter, he expected that you would need me when you came to Beijing, otherwise why did you let you come to me?"
Su Xing lowered his head, "It's the juniors who miscalculated."
Shen Xian snorted coldly, "It's a good character for young people not to trouble people, but it can't be too much, and if you can avoid detours, why bother to be too dead?"
Su Xing lowered his head to listen to the training, "What the adults teach is that the students have been taught."
He was Xie Yuan's student, and in front of Shen Xian, it was not wrong to change his words and call himself a student.
Shen Xian's face turned a little pale, let him go, and turned his head to look at Zhou Gu.
Zhou Gu winked at Shen Xian and reiterated again, "Lord Shen, I'm here with Brother Su."
By implication, this has nothing to do with me.
Shen Xian didn't seem to have anything to say to Zhou Gu, and waved his hand at him, "Let's go!"
Zhou Gu: "Huh?" With a sound, this mouth will smack him, what kind of operation is it? He looked at Su Xingze, "What about Brother Su?"
"From this day forth he dwells in my house." Shen Xian is not a person who doesn't listen to what is going on outside the window, he naturally knows what is happening in Beijing, "After the scientific examination, Taifu Qin has not been able to find you, what are you like?" Don't go back yet."
Zhou Gu: "......"
He stood still, at least not yet, and had to make his words clear. He asked, "Your Highness is afraid that he will take action against Brother Su, and I don't want him to participate in the Golden Autumn Expedition, if Brother Su lives in your mansion, can you protect him?"
"What's the matter? If you want to go, you will go." Shen Xian waved his hand.
Zhou Gu touched his nose and bargained, "I can go, but the guards who protect Brother Su have to stay."
Shen Xian glared at him, "This official doesn't care about food."
That's no objection!
"Don't worry about the food." Zhou Gu turned around and left, and after taking two steps, he looked at Su Xingze, "Brother Su, then, I'm leaving!"
Su Xing didn't expect that he would be left by Shen Xian to stay in his mansion, and made a decision directly, without even discussing with him, he was not a person who didn't know what to do, so he naturally obeyed Shen Xian's arrangement, and nodded to Zhou Gu, "Let's go!"
Zhou Gu could only leave.
After Zhou Gu left, Su Xing said, "All the students should use, they are all in the Xie Mansion in Dongsi Hutong."
"Just send someone to fetch it." Shen Xian didn't take it seriously, called the housekeeper, and ordered, "Go and tell Madame, clean up a courtyard and come out, from today on, he will live in the mansion."
After he finished speaking, he said to Su Xingze, "You are from today
Since then, before the scientific examination, they have lived in my house, only Wen Shu, nothing else, and they can't go out to make friends with anyone, just focus on the scientific examination."
This move is in line with Su Xing's intentions, "Listen to your lordship."
Zhou Gu originally thought that he would stay with Su Xingze until the scientific expedition, but he didn't expect that it was only more than ten days, and Su Xingze would live in the Shen Mansion, he thought that he had to talk to the prince about this, so he went to the East Palace.
In the East Palace, Prince Yan Echo was looking at the handwritten letter written to him by Su Rong, who was brought back by Yun'an.
The letter was not long, but the meaning was clear, Yan Echo read the letter back and forth three times before asking Yun An, "Tell me about her!"
Yun An said, "Miss Su Qi was seriously injured, she was a killer sent by Nan Chu, she lay in bed for three days before she could barely get off the ground, and now her injuries have not healed......
"Is there no one around her to protect her?" Yan Hui frowned, "And you? Didn't I ask you in my last letter to protect her for the time being?"
"Miss Seven was originally protected by someone, but on the day Miss Su Qi was injured, she sent Xiao Gongzi Zhou out of the city, and she never thought that in the blue sky and daylight, there would be a large number of killers who would directly attack her." Yun An immediately pleaded guilty, "Please punish Your Highness."
Yan Echo understood, but didn't punish Yun An, "Is it the killer sent by the Queen of Southern Chu?"
"It should be."
"How many?"
"Twenty dead men, supposed."
"Have you dealt with everything?"
Yun An bowed, "They were all dealt with by Miss Su Qi, and it is said that no one survived."
Yan Echo's face turned slightly pale, "In broad daylight, is the Queen of Southern Chu impatient? Or has there been a change in the situation of the Southern Chu Dynasty? Is she anxious?"
He knocked on the table, thought for a moment, and ordered, "You take someone to Southern Chu to secretly check the Southern Chu Dynasty Bureau, and I want to know if the king of Southern Chu already knows that he has a daughter."
Cloud Shore should be.
"Your Highness, Childe Thursday is here." Someone is out to tell you.
Yan Echo looked stunned, waved his hand to Yun An, Yun An retreated, Yan Echo put away the letterhead, put it in the dark compartment, and said, "Please let him in."
As he spoke, the door of the study opened, and Zhou Gu stepped in.
He saluted Yan Echo, and then naturally sat down, "Your Highness, my quasi-uncle has gone to live in the Shen Mansion of Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials."
Yan echo was surprised, "Shen Xian?"
"Hmm."
"What's going on?" Yan Echo asked.
Zhou Gu sighed, "Before he came to Beijing, Xie Yuan gave him a letter of recommendation to visit Shen Xian, originally he didn't plan to visit him before the imperial examination, but His Royal Highness has his eyes on him, whether you come forward or the Protector's Mansion comes forward, I'm afraid it will attract Your Majesty's attention, so you can only go to Shen Mansion." Lord Shen didn't say a word, and left the person behind."
Yan echoed thoughtfully, "Xie Yuan and Shen Xian turned out to be old friends?"
"It's a good relationship."
Yan Hui nodded, "That's fine, Shen Xian is holding the officials, he comes forward to protect him, and the eldest brother will definitely not dare to act rashly." It is indeed much easier to use than Gu and you to protect the country, and it can be guaranteed to be foolproof."
Zhou Gu showed an aggrieved look, "If my fiancée knows, I can't even protect his brother, and I need someone else to protect me, and it's useless for him to dislike me."
Everyone is saying that the lintel of the Protector's Mansion is Xuanhe, and he can do it vigorously, but as everyone knows, he can do it to a limited extent, and most of the time, he has to control his temper, for fear that he will become a breakthrough for His Majesty to clean up the Protector's Mansion.
Yan Echo looked at him, and Su Rong's letter mentioned that she would divorce Zhou Gu and enter Beijing soon, probably because she knew that Zhou Gu was from the East Palace, so she was afraid that he would not agree? Say hello to him in advance?
Yan Echo couldn't guess Su Rong's thoughts, after all, he hadn't even seen anyone now, and he couldn't guess just based on the vague impression she had when she saved him, but Su Rong would dislike Zhou Gu for not being useful, he didn't think so.
After all, Yun'an said that Miss Su Qi is an extremely smart person, and generally smart people know what to do and what not to do, and what are the pros and cons.
Zhou Gu looked at Yan Echo, and seeing that he didn't speak, he said depressedly, "Your Highness, is it before the scientific examination?"
, are we all going to be human with our tails between our legs? Whatever Your Highness does?"
Yan Echo nodded, "The action was too big a while ago, and it has caused the dissatisfaction of my father, before the scientific examination, bear it if you can!"
Zhou Gu was deflated, "I really wish that I would take the scientific examination tomorrow, and after the scientific examination, I don't have to suffer this bird anger in Beijing."
Yan Echo was noncommittal, Zhou Gu could go out to travel, he could leave the capital, but he, the prince, couldn't go, and couldn't go.
But fortunately, Su Rong said that he would come to Beijing to help him soon. In this way, taking a look around and coming to a Su Rong seems to be God's arrangement.
Yan Echo looked at Zhou Gu and asked quietly, "Have you asked Lao Guogong, how did your fiancée get it?"
Zhou Gu shook his head, "I forgot to ask."
Yan Huisheng thought to himself that it seems that Zhou Gu is not very attentive to Su Rong, otherwise he would not be without getting to the bottom of it, and he still doesn't know Su Rong's true identity, and the old protector has been hiding it from him.
In addition, the Protectorate Mansion did not seem to know that Su Rong was assassinated by the Queen of Southern Chu.
He can understand the old Protector Mansion, carrying the huge Protector Mansion, and planning for Zhou Gu's future and the future of the Protector Mansion, even if it is Su Rong, he is afraid that her identity will affect Zhou Gu, right?
Therefore, from this point of view, Su Rong wants to withdraw from the marriage, which can be regarded as a clear understanding.
Yan echoed and waved his hand, "Go and meet Mrs. Qin, since you returned to Beijing, you haven't been seen, and Mrs. Qin can't find you, and I've been angry for several days."
Zhou Gu lowered his face, stood up, and pulled his hair in annoyance, "Okay, let's go!"
See you tomorrow~
