The night was as cold as water, and Zhou Gu sat on the steps, looking at the grape trellises in the yard.

Midnight squatted beside him, looking at Zhou Gu for a while, looking at the grape trellis for a while, and after a long time, he spoke cautiously: "Childe, do you want to eat grapes? My subordinates will pick a bunch for you to eat?"

A large number of purple grapes are extremely attractive.

Zhou Gu didn't speak.

In the middle of the night, I suddenly remembered that after returning from Jiangning County, Gongzi once looked at the long bunches of delightful grapes and said, "When the exam is over, my mother will take me to Jiangzhou to propose marriage, and the grapes should be ripe at that time, and they can be picked as a dowry."

Midnight complained at the time and told him, who would take grapes as a dowry? This thing can't help but be released, don't break it when you get to Jiangzhou, when the time comes, no matter how good the temper of the eldest lady of the Su family is, I am afraid that she will have to turn her face with her son.

But Childe thought that purple grapes meant good, and since then he has ordered that no one is allowed to pick grapes from his yard this year.

So much so, after such a long time, the grapes were ripe, and the bunches were tempting to look at, but not only the servants serving in the courtyard did not dare to move, but even the masters in the house did not come to pick them.

He was thinking about it when Zhou Gu suddenly spoke up and whispered softly, "Midnight, why do you say she?"

Midnight hurriedly turned his head and went to see Zhou Gu.

Zhou Gu whispered again, "You say, why did she have to withdraw from my marriage?"

Midnight shook his head, he couldn't figure it out, Childe is so good, why is Miss Seven? When you were in Jiangning County, wasn't it good? Do you really like someone else? Miss Seven, is she a person who likes others easily? If you like it easily, shouldn't you like someone like Childe first?

Zhou Gu stood up suddenly, he had been sitting for a long time, he stumbled when he got up, Midnight hurriedly supported him, Zhou Gu stood firm, paused for a moment, brushed Midnight's hand, and instructed him, "Pick all the grapes and divide them among the houses and courtyards in the mansion."

After saying that, he walked into the house.

Midnight chased after him and asked, "Childe, Ming'er picks?"

"Pick it now."

At midnight, I immediately called someone, and it didn't take long to pick all the grapes on the grape trellis, divide them into multiple portions, and send them to the courtyard of the eldest princess of Sheng'an, the duchess and others.

The eldest princess of Sheng An looked at the basket of grapes sent over, was stunned, and called Midnight to ask.

Midnight didn't dare to hide it, and told the prince that he had been sitting on the steps under the eaves for a long time tonight.

After hearing this, the eldest princess of Sheng An sighed in her heart, waved her hand at midnight, and after leaving at midnight, she called the housekeeper and ordered, "Divide this basket of grapes into half and send it to Princess Qingping's mansion." 【Tomb robbery small. Say. The net is the newest. First, Hair, Most, Fast, More, New, .dao]"

The housekeeper should have arranged for someone to go immediately.

Half an hour later, Princess Qingping's Mansion received half a basket of grapes from the Protector's Mansion.

The housekeeper of the princess's mansion received the grapes sent to the door by the Protector's Mansion at night, and he was still very puzzled, but seeing that the purple grapes were big and round, they looked extremely attractive, so he hurriedly sent them to Princess Qingping.

Princess Qingping and her concubine were finishing their dinner, and when they saw the butler carrying half a basket of grapes, they were surprised, "Where did the grapes come from?"

"It was sent by the eldest princess of the Protectorate Mansion, Sheng An." The housekeeper hurriedly said.

Qingping was even more surprised, "My aunt has never taken care of me, why did she suddenly send grapes so late today?" She turned her head to look at the colt, who was puzzled, and also showed a strange and questioning expression, and she asked the butler again, "What did the person sent by the Protector Mansion say?"

The housekeeper shook his head, "I didn't say anything, I just said that the eldest princess ordered to send half a basket of grapes, and someone came to deliver the grapes and left."

Qingping is inexplicable.

The horse pondered, "In this Beijing, most of the melons and fruits are supplied by the Zhuangzi outside the city, or transported from afar, grapes and fruits, half a month ago, were off the market, many mansions in Beijing, are planted with flowers and plants, only the courtyard of Zhou Xiaogongzi, the Protector Mansion, planted a few grapes."

When Qingping heard him say this, he also remembered, and his eyes widened, "So, this is the grapes in Zhou Gu's yard?"

"It should be."

Qingping frowned, and wanted to throw out the half basket of grapes, looking around the grapes in the yard, she didn't eat them, but looking at the bunches of pleasing grapes, she thought of her gluttonous daughter and two even more greedy guests.

There was a look of struggle on her face, "Big night, what does this mean aunt?"

The colt said, "Have you divided the grapes?" Keep one copy and send one to the Tibetan Pavilion."

"I won't stay."

"Don't you love to eat too? You can't be angry with people, and you can't go with delicious food." Pony Road.

Kiyohei choked, "Yes."

She waved her hand and instructed the housekeeper, "Evenly divide three copies, keep one copy from the palace, and send the other two copies to the Tibetan Pavilion."

The steward should have commanded at once to divide the half basket of grapes.

In the Tibetan Pavilion, the lights were lit in the painting hall, and Duanhua and Su Rong, Feng Ling, and the two maidservants were playing together, and as soon as they stepped into the courtyard, they heard a burst of laughter inside.

The housekeeper thought to himself, this Tibetan Pavilion is really lively every day, and he is willing to run a few more times every day.

Seeing the butler coming with a small half basket of grapes, Duanhua's eyes lit up, "Ah, where did the grapes come from?" Without waiting for the housekeeper to speak, she immediately said again, "The grapes were off the market half a month ago, and now they can still be eaten, they can't be from Zhou Gu's yard, right?"

The butler put the basket down and replied with a smile, "Back to the county lord, you guessed it, it was the grapes sent by the Protector's Mansion."

Duanhua just said casually, but he didn't expect it to be true, and suddenly stopped playing the game, stared at the small half basket of grapes and asked, "Zhou Gu asked for it?"

"It was sent by the eldest princess of Sheng An."

"What did you say?"

The housekeeper thought to himself, worthy of being a mother and daughter, and asked the same thing, shaking his head, "I didn't say anything, the grapes were delivered, and the people left." It was only said that the eldest princess of Sheng An asked her to send it."

Duanhua pouted, "In previous years, the Princess's Mansion had never received grapes from the Protector's Mansion." , She turned her head and glanced at Su Rong sadly, "It must be that you are in the princess's mansion, and the eldest princess of Sheng An sent someone to send grapes." You quit the marriage, but you didn't offend people, and they brought you food."

Su Rong didn't know what to say.

The housekeeper delivered the grapes and was about to leave, Duanhua took a bunch of grapes and stuffed it in his hand, he accepted it with a smile before leaving.

Duanhua muttered, "These grapes are bunches of grapes, big and purple, they are really good, and there is frost on them, they must be very sweet."

"I have long been hungry for the grapes in his yard, but I can't eat them every year, and he won't let me enter his yard at all, so he will send people to guard them, and they will guard them strictly, for fear that I will go into his yard and pick his grapes to eat."

She was not angry, "Now, I took the initiative to send it."

She said for a long time, but she didn't see Su Rong talking, and then turned her head to look at her, "Why don't you speak?"

Su Rong smiled, "Listen to you."

Duan Hua was dissatisfied, snorted lightly, and continued: "In the capital, the homes of civil officials are all elegant, and the families of military generals, although they lack the thing of poetic heirlooms, but in order not to make people laugh, they also try to rely on elegance. The Protectorate Mansion is the head of the military generals, because the eldest princess of Sheng'an married in the past, although she is still a military general, but generation after generation, the wives she marries are all beautiful women, so, gradually, she has also developed a literati atmosphere, high houses and Huayu, and every grass and tree is exquisite. Even the old protector to the prince Zhou Wei, and even the two concubines, are quite particular. They all planted flowers and plants in the yard and rewarded them in their spare time, but he loved to eat grapes, so he planted grapes in the yard."

Su Rong didn't speak.

Duanhua instructed someone to take the grapes to be washed, then sat at the table, holding his chin and looking at Su Rong, "If this grape can be sent to the princess's mansion, it must be for you, does Zhou Gu like you?"

Su Rong also sat down next to Duanhua and pinched her face, "This is sent by the eldest princess of Sheng'an, I told you that day, although I have withdrawn from the marriage, I have not had a bad relationship with the Protector Mansion, and after I leave the princess's mansion, I still have to go to the Protector Mansion with my brother to visit and thank you."

Duanhua dodged her hand and muttered, "I really don't understand you."

Feng Ling said "oops".

"County Lord, do you understand what my sister does? Eat the grapes, they will taste good."

The washed grapes were dripping with water droplets, Duanhua was suddenly attracted, and felt that what Feng Ling said was reasonable, so he immediately reached out to pinch it.

She ate one herself, didn't say it was delicious, and didn't forget Su Rong, so she also pinched one for her and threw it into her mouth.

If it was before, eating grapes, she would have asked the maid to wash her hands and peel her skin, and she would never eat it herself, but since Su Rong and Feng Ling came, they were assimilated by the two, and many things, unconsciously, under the influence of the two, she has learned to do it herself.

Su Rong ate the grapes that Duanhua stuffed into his mouth, spit out the grape skins, and said, "It's so sweet."

Feng Ling directly took a string and put it in Se Surong's hand, "Sister, just eat more sweet."

Su Rong ate the grapes, and after realizing it, his heart and mouth were in pain, not much intense, but it kept hurting into his heart and lungs.
