Chapter 173: Filial Piety (1st Update)
Xie Lin came out slowly, only to see Zhou Gu's buttocks, he rubbed his eyes, and sighed again that he couldn't drink enough.
The shopkeeper walked out and asked with a smile, "Little Lord Xie, Little Master Zhou has ordered, let the villain send a car to send you back."
Xie Lin also knew that he couldn't ride a horse, so he nodded, "Hmm."
So, the shopkeeper arranged a car and helped Xie Lin into the carriage.
After Xie Lin got into the car, he asked the shopkeeper with the wheel, "Your boss Lan Niang, have you come to the capital?"
The shopkeeper nodded, "I've been to the capital, but I left the capital a while ago, so I'll come back after a while."
Xie Lin nodded, not forgetting what he had said earlier, and repeated drunkenly, "If anyone is looking for trouble, just report my name."
The shopkeeper's hand, "You have remembered this sentence, thank you for your care."
Xie Lin said "um", lowered the curtain, and the carriage drove away from the welcome place.
Zhou Gu quickly returned to the Protector's Mansion, got off the horse, carried two jars of wine and walked inside, and didn't see the old man's study lit up, so he went directly to the old man's courtyard.
Lao Guocheng was talking to the eldest princess of Sheng'an, and he was also talking about the rumors outside, as well as the matter of the second son of the Southern Chu Prime Minister's Mansion returning to the snow at night to send his little niece to Beijing, and he felt that the rumors did not need to be ignored, and they would dissipate in a few days, as for the sewage that was splashed on the princess's mansion, Su Rongzi would explain. But when the snow returned to Beijing at night, it was such a coincidence, and it couldn't help but make people wonder if there was another purpose.
The eldest princess of Sheng An pondered: "The Ye family of Nanchu, the position of the Ye family in Nanchu is very important, it is the second family of the Nangong family, and now the two families are married, I don't know what the plan is, these years the Nangong family has controlled half of the court bureau in Nanchu, and the other half of the court bureau has been divided between the Ye family and the clan, this Ye family, I haven't heard that it is a hardcore royalist, if they join forces to deal with Su Rong, it may not be possible."
The old protector shook his head, "No one doesn't want to fight for the first, the Nangong family has two generations, controls the dynasty, and the children and grandchildren, whether male or female, are domineering and domineering, compared to the Nangong family, the Ye family has a much better reputation, without the support of the Ye family, the king of Nanchu will not stay on the throne for so many years." If the night family wants to pull down the Nangong family and break the pattern of Nanchu, then the little girl is his breakthrough."
When the eldest princess Sheng An heard this, she said, "A group of tigers and leopards in Nanchu, if you want to go to Nanchu, it is really dangerous."
The old man sighed, "This is her choice, and it is her life. That's why I didn't stop her from keeping the engagement."
The eldest princess of Sheng An was speechless, "Another day, when the limelight passes, invite her to the house again, listen to her plans and ideas, we must help her."
The old man bowed his head, "This is nature."
The old husband and wife were talking, and when they heard someone say, "The fourth son is back", they immediately stopped.
Zhou Gu carried two jars of wine into the door, and saw the old prince and the eldest princess of Sheng'an sitting at the table, as if they were about to have dinner, he put the two jars of wine on the table, and said to the old prince and the eldest princess of Sheng'an, "Drunk flower drink, thank you for the silver of Linhua, and say filial piety to your grandfather and grandmother."
The old protector stroked his beard and looked at him, frowning, "Stinky boy, how much have you drunk?" The smell of wine."
Zhou Gu didn't say how much he drank, but said, "I'll go back."
If he was like this in the past, the old protector would definitely reprimand him, but now he only waved his hand, "Go back quickly."
Zhou Gu turned around and walked out, walked to the door, and stopped and turned back, "If I hold the marriage certificate today and don't agree to it, what will happen to my grandfather?"
"Break your legs!" The old protector frowned.
Zhou Gu sneered, turned around and left.
The old protector scolded behind him, "Stinky boy! The wings hardened you!"
The eldest princess of Sheng An pushed the old protector and said unhappily: "Okay, I haven't seen you being too strict with other people, but with Brother Gu, you are always strict and harsh, and you don't have a good face, does he owe you?"
The old protector retorted, "Can he compare with others? The eldest grandson is enough, and the other two qualifications are just acceptable, and there is no need to be too demanding, but he is the only one who was born with a good brain, and if he doesn't repair it well, he will destroy the heavens."
The eldest princess of Sheng An was angry, "I'm too lazy to talk about you."
She took the two jars of wine on the table, "Give me both jars, and you shall not drink any of them."
The old protector hurriedly said, "Oh, with your little amount of alcohol, don't spoil the good wine."
The eldest princess of Sheng An didn't listen, so she asked her to put away the two altars, "Take them all, don't allow this old thing to drink the wine that my good grandson brought back, he has the ability to buy it himself."
The old protector stared.
The eldest princess of Sheng An lost her temper, "You don't have to stare at it, there is no reason in this world to dislike and criticize while enjoying my good grandson's filial piety."
The old protector had no choice, so he could only watch the people put away the two jars of wine.
In the evening, the Great Prince's Mansion was also talking about Su Rong.
Yan Li asked the eldest princess, "A few days ago, you said that you asked Duanhua to bring that Su Rong to the mansion as a guest, but Duanhua has not responded to the post, do you say that you have been planning to withdraw from the marriage?"
The eldest princess shook her head, "I don't know, why don't I write the next post tomorrow?" One more time, please?"
Yan Li nodded, "Please, explore their tone, what is going on, it stands to reason that Su Xu Ren Jiangzhou Assassin History, has taken the ship of the East Palace through Zhou Gu, and has gone all the way with the East Palace, and the marriage contract with the Protector Mansion should continue to be tied to death, and now that Su Rong actually went to the Protector Mansion alone to withdraw Zhou Gu's marriage, it is really incredible, I have sent someone to check, but I have checked and checked, and there is no eyebrows, only to say that Su Rong himself thinks it is not suitable for Zhou Gu."
The eldest princess said: "Leave this matter to me, if Ming'er and I will write another post, and Duanhua will shirk it again, I will go to the door in person."
Yan Li bowed his head, "Okay."
He patted the eldest princess's hand, "This scientific expedition went very smoothly, the prince strictly guarded against it, and did not let me and my second brother get a hand to disturb one or two, my father was both satisfied with the crown prince, but also felt threatened." , He snorted and laughed twice, "The crown prince doesn't dare to make mistakes, and the father is waiting for him to make mistakes, me and the second brother, there will always be a chance."
The eldest princess gently comforted the eldest prince, "Your Highness, don't worry, the days are still long, and the father's days are still long, let's slowly spend time with the prince."
"That's right, see who's consumed whom." The eldest prince was ruthless, "There will always be a time when his Yan echoes a hundred secrets."
The news also spread to the palace, and Yu An, the chief eunuch, took advantage of the gap between the emperor's review and rest, and he reported Su Rong's resignation.
The emperor was also surprised, "You said that Su Xu's concubine was alone and went to the Protector's Mansion to withdraw from Zhou Gu's marriage?"
Father-in-law Yu nodded, "That's right, it's spread all over the outside, and the old slave has also sent someone to confirm it, it's true."
The emperor is rare, "What reason?"
"It is said that he does not dare to climb high, his temperament is not compatible, and his temperament is not suitable."
The emperor accepted it very well, "Well, that's true, the Su family's small family, with the prestigious Protector's Mansion, is simply ants climbing trees, rabbits picking peaches, and the door is not right. The Su family has withdrawn from this family matter, but they are self-aware."
Gonggong Yu glanced at the emperor and reminded thoughtfully, "But how the marriage contract was made, it is still unclear, the Protectorate Mansion is strictly hidden, and the Su family in Jiangzhou has not leaked out, although the marriage is now divorced, but I am afraid that it is not so simple inside." Now it is said that it was because of the pressure exerted by Princess Qingping's Mansion on the little concubine of the Su family that she withdrew from a good marriage that was difficult to find."
Hearing this, the emperor put down his pen, "What about that Su Rong? Still living in the Princess's Mansion?"
Father-in-law Yu nodded, "Today, the princess's mansion held a banquet in the evening, it is said that it is to celebrate Su Rong's divorce, and she also invited a dancing girl, Sheng Geyan dance, which is very lively."
The emperor laughed angrily when he heard this, "This Qingping, it is rumored outside that she ruined Zhou Gu's marriage, but she did not hide it. That's it, don't worry about it, as long as it doesn't affect the court situation, let her make trouble."
Yu An also laughed and nodded yes.
