Chapter 136: Going Out (2nd Watch)
After Zhou Gu finished speaking, he looked at Yan Echo with blank eyes, as if he was waiting for him to give him a way to relieve him of his uncomfortable state now.
Yan Echo thought about it, when Zhou Gu was preparing for the exam, in a tense atmosphere, he was indiscriminately disturbed by Su Rong, what did this mean?
He has been smart and sharp since he was a child, and he knows very well in his heart that he likes Su Rong.
He was silent, not knowing how to speak.
"Hey, Your Highness, you have a lot of opportunities, but I come to you with this trivial matter, isn't it annoying?" Zhou Gu misunderstood that Yan Echo didn't speak, he was speechless to him.
Yan echo shook his head, on the contrary, he felt that this was a big matter, a matter related to whether Su Rong could firmly and smoothly withdraw from the marriage, although he liked Su Rong, but since he was a child, he was not allowed to take the initiative to break them up.
So, he spoke: "The so-called bell must be tied to the bell, there are still a few days, since you can't let go of it so much, why don't you send someone to Jiangzhou, and ask her why she didn't give you a letter to encourage you?" β
Zhou Gu blushed, "This is not appropriate, right?" β
He squirmed, "In this way, Su Rong should make fun of me." How old am I, I'm not a three-year-old, and I still need someone to write me a letter of encouragement? β
Yan Echo looked at him silently, and said honestly, "To be honest, Gu didn't think you had grown up. β
Zhou Gu: "......"
Yan Echo waved his hand at him, "Your state and psychology are not conducive to the scientific examination, send someone to Jiangzhou quickly, before you take the exam, there will always be a reply, and at that time, you can do the scientific examination in a down-to-earth manner." Go ahead! β
Zhou Gu struggled, "Do you really want to do this?" β
"Well, Lone thinks it's time to do it, think about it yourself." Yan Huisheng raised his eyelids, "It's not an empty word that the bell must be tied to the bell, she is your fiancΓ©e, even if she makes fun of you, what can she do?" Are you afraid of being teased by her? β
"Not really." Zhou Gu squirmed and stood up, "Okay, I'll go back and send someone to Jiangzhou." β
He seemed to finally have a reason to find Su Rong again, said goodbye neatly, and left in a gust of wind.
After he left, Su Rong came out of the dark lattice room, brought back a large stack of files, turned back and brought out the melons and fruits and refreshments, and then went in one last time, took the mat back, and tilted it back to the soft collapse as before, and continued to look at the file in his hand.
Yan Huisheng turned his head to look at her, and saw that her eyebrows were calm, flipping through the file page by page, and she didn't seem to have any intention of speaking.
Yan Echo didn't say anything and continued with what was at hand.
Although Su Rong looked at the file in her eyes and quickly flipped through the contents on it, she was single-minded in her heart, thinking about this person, she really didn't expect it......
She regretted it a little, when she was in Jiangzhou, she shouldn't have listened to her mother's chatter in her ear, followed the idea of the old protector, and cultivated a relationship with him, her eldest brother Su Xing was right, before the matter was decided, she shouldn't have too much contact with Zhou Gu.
She is used to being cold-hearted and cold-hearted, and she can easily retract her liking for him, but what about Zhou Gu? He really wanted to marry her, and he was interested in her as his fiancΓ©e, he didn't do anything wrong, why did she come to the door and divorce him?
Su Rong's firm heart felt that it was right to estimate herself at this moment, but she misestimated that she had stirred Zhou Gu's heart in a short time.
She is not a person who doesn't understand anything, as long as she doesn't pretend to be confused, if she wants to understand something, then she understands very well.
What does Zhou Gu and Yan Echo represent?
It means that Zhou Gu cares about her in his heart. Because of this, he would not be depressed in the days when he received her letter.
She had a headache and felt upset, and she went through the file page by page, and the more she flipped it, the more irritated she felt. But she didn't show this irritability, her face was very calm, and even the movements and frequency of flipping books did not change.
Until, after reading a large stack of files, she carried them back, locked the secret lattice and came out again, and said to Yan Hui: "Feng Ling and I will not accompany His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for dinner, I plan to go out and go around the streets of the capital." β
Yan Echo looked at her, "I'm upset? β
Su Rong secretly sighed that he was worthy of being the prince, she obviously didn't show it, but he was so keen, this person is too smart, it makes people very stressed, but fortunately he is a prince, a smart prince, is better than a stupid one. She nodded, "It's a little bit." β
Yan Echo didn't stop him, but only instructed, "Be careful." β
Su Rong responded, "I'll bring the curtain fence." β
Covering your head to your feet, even if you are a familiar person, you should not recognize it if you don't hit it head-on.
Yan Echo nodded and handed her a token, "If you encounter trouble, show Lone's token, and no one will dare to embarrass you." β
Su Rong took it unceremoniously and thanked him: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince." She put away the token, took two steps, and turned back to ask Yan Echo, "Does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have anything you want to eat?" I can bring it back to you by the way. β
Yan Echo was stunned for a moment.
Su Rong explained with a smile, "In the past, my eldest brother was studying at home, and I always liked to run out to play, and when I came back, I was afraid that he would discipline me, so I brought him some food to please him." The maidservants and the cats and dogs I grew up with are greedy, and I have developed the habit of buying food over the years. β
Yan Echo wanted to say "no", but changed his words when he heard the words, "There is a century-old shop on the street, called Chengjizhai, which sells all kinds of pastries, among which the signboard is the nut flower cake in the store, which is open until the curfew every night, and now there are still two hours, when you come back from shopping, you can go by the way to see and help Gu bring back a copy." β
"Okay." Su Rong answered and walked out of the study.
Feng Ling had nothing to do, looking at the painting book with his legs crossed in Yuzhen Pavilion, eating pastries and drinking tea, very leisurely.
When Su Rong returned to the Jade Treasure Pavilion, he saw him like this, and he was a little jealous in his heart, and glared at him, "Let's go, go out shopping tonight." β
Feng Ling was surprised, "Master, aren't you planning to wait until after the scientific expedition?" Why are you going out today? Is it that the East Palace is too boring to hold back? β
Su Rong said "um", "It's a little boring, I'll go change my clothes, you go find someone to get a curtain fence for me." β
"Okay." Feng Ling put down the drawing book and went immediately.
Su Rong changed her clothes and came out, Feng Ling had already found a curtain fence, she wore it on her head, covering her feet from head to foot, although this thing was in the way, but it didn't block her vision, she was very satisfied, "Let's go!" β
Feng Ling nodded, and the two of them walked out of the Jade Treasure Pavilion together, still going through the back door.
The person guarding the back door was still the same, he didn't dare to interrogate these two distinguished guests, and immediately let him go, and listened to Su Rong's explanation that he would come back during the curfew, and nodded again and again.
Out of the East Palace, Su Rong and Feng Ling walked slowly on the street, as if it was not too late today, the sun was still hanging in the West Mountain, and the street was still lively.
Feng Ling whispered to Su Rong: "This capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, is different, throwing a brick, nine times out of ten the people who are stoned to death are Beijing officials, or they are high-ranking nobles, anyway, they must be people with status." β
Su Rong was noncommittal.
Feng Ling couldn't stop talking, and said again: "If you want to say that the people at the feet of the Son of Heaven are not very sad?" When encountering nobles everywhere, they groveled, cautious, and trembling all day long, for fear that if they were not careful, they would provoke a noble person and cause trouble. But even so, I really don't understand why countless people want to settle down at the feet of the Son of Heaven. β
He sighed, "How good Jiangning County is, there are not many residents who settle down and move to Jiangning County every year. But at the feet of the Son of Heaven, people flocked to him, squeezing his head to get in. β
"You also said that it was at the feet of the Son of Heaven." Su Rong's mood has improved a lot, "If you want to make money in business and make more money, you still have to be at the feet of the Son of Heaven." One is peace, even if there are such arrogant and domineering gentlemen, even if they provoke it, they don't dare to make too much trouble and provoke the Son of Heaven to pay attention to it and be punished. The second is that the security in the capital is good, and we have laws in Daliang, just like Lan Niang sent people to the welcome square in the capital, even if it is foreign, but it is operated according to the law, even if there is no backer, as long as the things are good, it can quickly take root and make money. Of course, this is not to say that the law will work, and when someone secretly does it, they will also ignore the law, but in general, as long as there is ambition, who doesn't want to fight? β
Feng Ling nodded, "That's right, take the drunken flower drink as an example, selling it for a hundred taels in Jiangning County, excluding the cost of brewing, in fact, it will earn twenty taels, but it will be different when it is shipped to this capital, the freight of a batch of goods is averaged to one altar, it is only twenty taels, but it is sold for two hundred taels, so that one jar earns one hundred taels, and the profit has increased fivefold." β
He sighed and whispered: "Master, you should have sold this thing to the capital two years ago, and you made a lot of money." β
Su Rong glanced at him, "Can you be a little promising, you are a secret guard, why are you all money in your eyes?" β
Feng Ling grinned, "That's because you don't know, in the past, my subordinates took people to practice martial arts for half a day, and they had to learn other things for half a day, the most important thing is this way of making money, and I really feel that it is difficult to make money." The money in this capital is so easy to make! β
Su Rong understood, to raise five hundred secret guards, one should be used, every day needs a large amount of silver, training a secret guard, naturally not just for a full meal, hidden weapons, medicinal materials, etc., are consumables, need to spend silver, her mother faked her death, all the property of the county lord of Zhenmin can not be taken away, only the secret property left to her by Prince Mingrui can be spent, but if the business is not good, sit on the mountain and eat empty, and you can't afford to raise them. Naturally, they have to be self-reliant.
