Chapter 181: No Comment (1st Update)
Xie Lin drank with Zhou Gu the night before, and after returning home, he couldn't stand it and had a splitting headache, so he invited a doctor.
After the doctor saw it, he prescribed a pair of medicines, and he could sleep peacefully, but the sequelae were too sufficient, so he lay in bed for a day the next day.
Therefore, when the servants in the mansion gathered under the window to talk about the gossip of the Great Prince's Mansion, he seemed to hear Su Rong's name, and immediately called people into the house and asked what was going on.
The servant's frightened face turned white, and he timidly told the gossip about the boiling Great Prince's Mansion outside, and then knelt down and begged Xie Lin for forgiveness, but Xie Lin didn't annoy the servant for disturbing his rest, but sat up from the bed in shock, "Is this true or false?"
The servant hurriedly said, "It's all spread like this outside, and the minions don't know if it's true or not, but it's spread like it, and it's eighty percent true."
Xie Lin waved his hand, "You go out and call the housekeeper for me."
The servant's heart was relieved, and he quickly got up from the ground and rushed out of the door.
The housekeeper came soon, listened to Zhou Gu's inquiry, and nodded, "Back to the little prince, it's true, in addition to the Duanhua County Lord, Miss Su Qi and her younger brother Feng Ling, the people who went to the Grand Prince's Mansion today as guests also have the second princess, and the guards of the Qingping Princess's Mansion have moved in and out of the Great Prince's Mansion to pick the chrysanthemums, many people have seen it with their own eyes, even if the eldest princess wants to hide the news from the mansion, they can't hide it."
Xie Lin was stunned, "It turned out to be true!"
The butler nodded.
Xie Lin sighed, "Amazing, who in this capital doesn't know that the eldest princess loves flowers? The treasures of her garden, like a baby, at the beginning of the month, I also invited my mother to come to the house to enjoy it, only in the middle of the month, only half of September, was Duanhua bald garden......
He had a toothache when he thought about it, "I'm afraid the eldest princess is bleeding from her heart, right?"
The housekeeper bowed, "Yes, at the beginning of the month, after our princess came back from the Great Prince's Mansion to enjoy the flowers, she also said that the chrysanthemums in the garden of the Great Princess grew well."
Who would have thought that in just a few days, because of Miss Su Qi's words of making tea, she was destroyed by the Duanhua County Lord.
Xie Lin smiled "hey", got off the bed neatly, and said while dressing, "I won't eat dinner anymore."
The housekeeper hadn't left yet, so he immediately asked, "Little Wangye, you are not resting in the mansion, it's so late, you want to go out?" Where are you going?"
"Go to the Shen Mansion to find Brother Su." Xie Lin neatly put on his clothes and walked out.
The butler followed him out of the room, "Are you looking for Su Xingze?"
"Hmm." Xie Lin waved his hand.
The housekeeper was just about to say something more, when someone came to him and said that the princess had invited him over, but the housekeeper could only stop talking and went to see the princess again, thinking that the princess had probably heard the rumors outside, and asked him if the rumors were true, just like the little prince.
Xie Lin rode out of the mansion and soon came to the Shen mansion.
It's not the first time he's been uninvited, since Su Xingze lived in the Shen Mansion, he has been here two or three times, and the gatekeeper has already recognized him with a familiar face, told him that the eldest prince Su is in the mansion, and invited him in.
Xie Lin didn't need anyone to guide him, and went directly to Su Xingze's residence to find her.
Su Xingze was preparing to eat, and when he saw Xie Lin coming, he invited him in the door, "Why is Brother Xie here?"
"Let's eat." Xie Lin sat down at the table unceremoniously.
Su Xing smiled and ordered someone to add another pair of chopsticks.
Xie Lin looked at the seven or eight kinds of food on the table, this was only Su Xingze's dinner alone, he was envious, "Hey, is the life of the Shen Mansion so good? Every time I come back, I catch up with the meal, and I see that you have a great appetite for this table. The color, smell, and flavor are complete, which shows that Lord Shen and Mrs. Shen are people who are good at life."
Su Xing didn't believe that he was just here to eat, but he still should talk to him, "Aunt Shen said that I had a hard exam, and I lost weight after coming to Beijing, and now after the exam, I have no time to be idle, so I ordered the kitchen to cook a few more nutritious foods for me every day."
Xie Lin nodded, "There are meat and vegetarian dishes, porridge and soup, this combination is really nutritious."
A servant girl brought dishes and chopsticks, and brought a pot of wine, and when she was about to serve it, she was stopped by Xie Lin, "I had a headache when I drank it yesterday, and I just recovered today, so I won't drink it."
Su Xing was not used to being served, so when he heard this, he waved his hand and said softly, "Go down!"
The maidservant should have been, took the flask and retreated.
Xie Lin complained to Su Xing, "Zhou Gu pulled me to drink yesterday, guess what? He took me to the welcome room, took out all the money in my hand, and asked for twelve jars of wine, saying six jars for one person. You know the amount of alcohol I drink, and I can only sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman because of the loss. Yesterday, I tossed until the third watch, and I fell asleep, which was really fatal. I lay down all day today, and I got up from my bed before I came to you."
Su Xing knew that Su Rong had gone to the Protector's Mansion yesterday to withdraw from the marriage, so he grabbed the point and asked him, "Why are you wrong?"
Xie Lin said that he had casually said that he cursed Zhou Gu when he was in Jiangning County, and after he finished speaking, he said unjustly, "I really said it casually at that time, who knew that your seventh sister really divorced Zhou Gu, this really doesn't blame me."
If his mouth is so effective, then he accompanied her mother to worship the Buddha and accompany his father to pay tribute to the ancestors, and the wishes he made should all be fulfilled, but so far, none of them have worked.
After listening to this, Su Xing was also silent.
Xie Lin sighed, "Brother Su, can I ask? Why did Miss Seven withdraw from the marriage? Isn't it good to take care of Zhou?"
It's not that he wants to say good things about Zhou Gu, but really, he can't figure it out, when they were in Jiangning County, how harmonious the two got along with, but anyone with eyes can see it. And with the identity of Zhou Gu, why is Su Rong?
He estimates that many people have this doubt.
Maybe others will think that Su Rong is ashamed of himself, he doesn't dare to climb high, and he is self-aware, but he knows Su Rong and has lived in the Su family, and the Su family is up and down, so he is not the kind of person who is ashamed of himself, especially Su Rong himself.
Su Xing shook his head, "This is my sister's own business, and I can't say it, in short, the marriage contract has been withdrawn, and it is useless to talk about it."
Xie Lin couldn't hear any news from Su Xingze's mouth, so he could only give up, "Okay, what you said is right. That's it, it's none of my business, it's not my business, but it's about me, it's a little bit, after all, who made me can't hold back and curse him."
Su Xing smiled lightly, "Zhou Gu is not a narrow-minded person, Brother Xie can rest assured, he won't hold on to you."
Xie Lin also understood, and sighed again, "I know, he just took revenge on me a little, spent all the money my mother gave me, and poured me a stomach full of wine, making me uncomfortable for a few days. And that was the end of it. But don't I see that he's in a bad mood?"
He asked tentatively, "When Miss Seven divorced, she told him that she liked someone else. That, Brother Su, I'm also curious, who is the others? Better than Zhou Gu?"
Su Xing was stunned, but his face was not revealed, and he shook his head, "Brother Xie, I have nothing to say."
Xie Lin completely gave up this time, "Okay, Brother Su, if you can't say it, you can't say it." , she immediately changed the subject, "Have you heard about your sister and Duanhua going to the princess's mansion as guests today?"
Su Xing nodded, "I heard."
Xie Lin sighed, "Your sister is really powerful, with a light sentence, the eldest princess lost the chrysanthemum garden. Duanhua is really fierce, and a sentence of filial piety to the emperor's uncle and precious concubine made the eldest princess speechless. And that Feng Ling, he is the younger brother of Miss Seven? Isn't that your family? Why haven't you heard of it before? Where did it come from?"
"Feng Ling is a student of Mr. Xie, and her younger sister has been taught by Mr. Xie since she was a child, so she is called a brother and sister." Su Xing explained simply.
Xie Lin suddenly said, "So that's the case, that Feng Ling is really interesting, he is worthy of being Mr. Xie's student, I will meet him another day." He's going to be fun."
He said, happy, "That Ning Ze of the Nanping Hou Mansion is also a very shrewd person, in the past few years, in the Nanping Hou Mansion, he relied on his mother and sister, and also relied on the Nanping Hou pet, it is said that he did not give the prince Ning Chi a stumbling block, but I didn't expect this to come to the capital, the tiger's paws became a little soft cat, it is said that Feng Ling was trapped in the big kitchen of the Great Prince's Mansion for a long time, his angry face was black, and he couldn't attack people."
Su Xing was also a little funny, "Feng Ling and my sister have similar temperaments and temperaments, and the two of them get together
Together, if they make a fuss, it will be really difficult to resist."
"This is not just difficult to handle, their sister and brother are famous in the capital like this. More famous than you Su Xingze. Originally, the turmoil of divorce did not dissipate, but the next day it happened again, and your sister's name is probably already a household name." Xie Lin sighed, "This treatment, do you know who has always been the only one who has had it? The victorious general, the famous genius of the Confucianism, oh, and me and Zhou Gu, fight that one."
Su Xing thought that his sister and Feng Ling were deliberately doing it, but she was afraid that she had a plan, and her reputation was well known in the capital, so when it was spread, it was also to tell the people of Nanchu that she was in the capital, and if she wanted to find it, just find it.
He said softly, "Let's eat!"
Xie Lin nodded, on this day, his stomach was empty, and he didn't dare to eat big fish and meat, so he only held the porridge and drank it, thinking to himself, I'm afraid the capital will be really lively in the future.
