Chapter 187: I'm Sorry (1st Update)
Feng Ling didn't dare to go to Zhou Gu to get in front of anyone, so after he pulled Lu Xuecheng to finish speaking, he went to play and talk with other sons.
Zhou Gu's eyes fell on Feng Ling, he was very sure that when he was in Jiangning County, whether it was the Su family or Su Rong's side, there was no such person as Feng Ling, this person had always existed and had not been seen by him? Or was it the person who appeared next to Su Rong after he left Jiangning County?
He found that even if he got along with Jiangning County for a month, he didn't know much about Su Rong.
He thought that she had some secrets, which was nothing, which daughter's family did not have her own secrets, such as Lan Niang, who sold drunk flowers and drinks in the smile, such as Yu Niang, Bang Niang, and Fengyue, who were in charge on the third floor, all had a deep friendship with her, such as the shopkeeper of the Splendid Pavilion took out the cloth leaked from the imperial offering without saying a word and asked her to choose and keep accounts......
He wasn't surprised by this, and he also felt that she was not simple. But he thought it was no big deal, Su Xu had been in Jiangning County for more than ten years, and Su Rong was not a young lady who did not leave the door and did not settle in the boudoir, whether it was because of Su Xu, Su Rong's own ability, or Xie Yuan, after they got along for a long time in the future, he would know that in short, the future would be long.
But he was wrong, they didn't come to Japan for long. She came to the door to withdraw from the marriage and decisively cut off the relationship with him.
He stood up and walked out, and the little boy who came in front of him immediately asked, "Brother Zhou, where are you going?"
"Something." Zhou Gu replied.
The little boy wanted to follow him, but when he heard that something was wrong with him, he sat back down.
The women came to the osmanthus garden, the osmanthus flowers in the garden were fragrant, and several tables and chairs were placed under the trees, and melons and fruits were placed on the tables.
Everyone chatted and ate tea at the same time, Su Rong originally thought that her daughter's family got together, either talking about rouge gouache, or talking about Zhu Hai jewelry, after all, when she was in Jiangning County, the ladies of various provinces got together, just talking about these, she often listened to it boringly, so she didn't like to mix, and because of her beauty, she was a concubine, but the eldest lady was comparable to her daughter-in-law, and she was always sneered at and jealous, she didn't like to listen, so she naturally had to do it, and in the long run, naturally few daughters loved to play with her, and she didn't care, So much so that she was regarded as an alternative in the Jiangzhou area.
But when she came to the capital, she found out, taking Duanhua as an example, most of the time, she talked to her about eating, drinking and having fun, and now these noble ladies don't talk about rouge gouache, they talk about gossip in Beijing. For example, whose sister is married, what is the man's surname, how many people are in the family, what is the official of the father-in-law, is the mother-in-law powerful, and for example, whose sister was fined for copying books yesterday for some reason, and she has to copy it a hundred times, and it is estimated that she will not be able to go out for a month. Another example is whose brother caused something in the academy, almost broke his leg by the family law, the academy was going to drop out, and the family apologized for the relationship, so he barely kept people, and for example, whose younger brother was naughty and slipped out of the house through the dog hole, and was almost abducted by human traffickers, scared to death, and for example, the aunt in the house did something and was sold to Zhuangzi, the aunt was beautiful, she was just sent to Zhuangzi the day before, and she ran away when she turned around, and she has not been found back......
Su Rong loves to listen to these, and listens to them with relish, and if he is not careful, he eats too much dim sum and drinks too much tea.
She turned her head and glanced at Duanhua, and saw that Duanhua was fascinated by what she heard, she looked at Xie Ying and the others again, and saw that everyone loved this kind of gossip, so she had to walk out of Gui Garden by herself, and at the door, asked a maid who came to deliver tea, "Where do you go from to the toilet?"
The maidservant hurriedly pointed to the east, "Go back to your nobles, follow this road, go to the end, turn north, go to the end, turn east, turn south, and that's it."
"Thank you." Su Rong followed the path pointed out by the maidservant and went alone.
She has a strong sense of direction and quickly finds a toilet.
The Ruian Mansion is very exquisite, and even the toilet repair is very luxurious, which contains incense, toilet paper, clean water, mirrors, soaphorns, etc., all available.
Su Rong washed his hands and came out, didn't wipe them with a handkerchief, shook the water droplets, and walked back.
Halfway down the road, I saw Zhou Gu leaning against a tree trunk and standing there.
Su Rong paused, remembering that the eldest princess of Sheng'an specially pointed out that the grapes belonged to Zhou Gu's yard today, and asked her to thank Zhou Gu herself, which meant that although she had withdrawn from the marriage, it was not only her relationship with the Protector Mansion
Break, the relationship with Zhou Gu, although you can't be a husband and wife, don't be like a stranger.
Su Rongben didn't want to be strangers to Zhou Gu, she hoped that Zhou Gu would be good, of course, on the basis of Zhou Gu's goodness, she herself was good, and the two good were good.
So, she came to the front and shouted with a smile, "Brother Zhou!"
Zhou Gu kept looking at her, seeing that her steps were relaxed, with a comfortable face on her face, and she walked from afar, until she saw him, she didn't show any other emotions on her face, she didn't dodge, she didn't dodge, she naturally called him Brother Zhou, compared to him being divorced and couldn't let go, full of puzzlement, unwilling to suspect and doubt, she seemed to be completely unaffected.
Zhou Gu didn't speak, just looked at her.
Su Rong smiled at him, "I just met the eldest princess of Sheng'an and the duchess of Guo, the eldest princess said that the grapes sent to the princess's mansion are grown in your yard by Brother Zhou, they are very large, very purple, and very sweet, thank you very much."
Zhou Gu sneered and asked her, "Do you know that the grapes in Beijing have all been taken off the market, why are there still grapes growing in my yard that have not been picked?"
Su Rong naturally didn't know and shook his head.
Zhou Gu stared at her and said, "That's because, after returning to Beijing, I told people that they were not allowed to pick grapes from my yard, and when I finished my scientific examination, I would take it as a dowry and send it to Jiangzhou."
Su Rong was stunned, paused, and lowered his head, "I'm sorry."
Zhou Gu didn't want to hear it, he looked at Su Rong's hair, the person in front of him was still the delicate and soft little girl he saw for the first time, she didn't seem to have changed much, from Jiangning County to the capital, she was very open-minded, and she was also protected, she used to be the eldest lady of the Su family, and now she is the princess of Qingping.
He really wanted to ask her, why did he withdraw from his marriage, but stayed in the capital, offended the Great Prince's Mansion, and disrupted the court?
But when the words came to his lips, looking at her lowered head, he suddenly didn't want to ask, he turned his head and left.
Su Rong raised her head and saw that Zhou Gu had left, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and she also learned from Zhou Gu's appearance, took two steps forward, and leaned against the trunk of the tree he was leaning on.
Until Duanhua came and looked at her in wonder, "What are you doing here alone against a tree?" Who are you waiting for?"
Su Rong shook his head and smiled at her, "I was lost and didn't dare to walk around, so I thought about finding a place to wait and see if anyone would pass by and take me out."
Duanhua despised her, "You deserve to be lost, who let you quietly come out to find a toilet by yourself?" Why don't you call me?"
"I see you're fascinated by what you hear, and I'm not embarrassed to alarm you." Su Rong straightened up and asked her, "Are you going to the toilet?"
"Go!" Duanhua also drank too much tea, "You wait for me here, I'll be back soon."
Su Rong nodded.
Duanhua hurriedly went.
After a while, Duanhua came back and took her hand, "Let's go! It's almost time to start."
Su Rong was held by her, and the two of them went back to Gui Garden, only to see Zhou Yun waiting at the door, and when they saw the two of them coming, they said with a smile, "Xie Ying took someone to the banquet hall, leaving me here to wait for you."
Duanhua and Su Rong thanked each other, and the three of them went to the banquet hall together.
The banquet for men and women was separated, as soon as Su Rong arrived, she saw a well-dressed lady with a kind face waving to her, Su Rong didn't know this lady, Duanhua next to him saw it, and whispered: "It's Mrs. Shen of Lord Shen's Mansion of the Ministry of Officials, and it is the Shen Mansion where your eldest brother lives."
When Su Rong heard this, he hurriedly walked over and bowed, "Aunt Shen."
Duanhua also shouted, "Mrs. Shen."
Mrs. Shen usually doesn't like to participate in banquets, she likes mavericks like her like Lord Shen, and she gave birth to two sons, one has married a wife, and she is not in Beijing with her wife, and one is too young to be thirteen, and it is not yet time to discuss relatives, so she is happy to live her life behind closed doors, and she doesn't like to come out on non-essential occasions, until Su Xing stays in Shen's mansion, Su Rong has been living in the princess's mansion since she came to Beijing, and after she discussed with Lord Shen, she took advantage of the post in Rui'an Wangfu to come and see Su Rong.
Therefore, when she came to Ruian Wangfu today, she also came to Su Rong, she looked at Su Rong carefully, and saw that she looked good, her eyebrows and eyes were clear, it was hard to imagine that she came to Beijing alone for such a short period of time, and she did it by herself
Let Jingzhong talk about her.
She reached out to hold her hand, and said with a smile, "Tomorrow morning, I will send someone to pick you up at the Princess's Mansion, or will you go back to the Shen Mansion with me today?"
Duanhua immediately said on the side, "Mrs. Shen, don't be in such a hurry to rob people, Ming'er doesn't need you to pick her up, I'll send her there."
Su Rong also replied with a smile, "Ming'er will let the county lord send me!"
Mrs. Shen smiled and nodded, "That's okay, Ming'er, you brothers and sisters, go over earlier, the county lord hasn't been to the Shen Mansion yet, Ming'er will come back after lunch, if you want to stay, just pack some things, it's okay to stay, although our mansion is not as good as the princess's mansion, but there is also a place to live."
Duanhua hurriedly shook his head, "Don't bother, madam, I won't live tomorrow, just try the skills of the chef in your house and go back."
Mrs. Shen was amused, "Okay."
After saying a few more words, Mrs. Shen let go of Su Rong's hand, and Duanhua pulled Su Rong to find the position of the two of them and sit at the table.
