Chapter 332: Contrary Direction (2nd Watch)
Coming out of Yan Echo's East Palace, Zhou Gu felt both relaxed and heavy.
Relaxedly, he didn't expect Yan Echo to be able to indulge him and agree with his thoughts and plans. The heavy thing is that, as Yan Echo said, as a descendant of the Protectorate Mansion, since his surname is Zhou, he can't fall into the lintel of the Protectorate Mansion.
He didn't ride a car or a horse, and he walked all the way to the Protector's Mansion.
Halfway to the road, by coincidence, he met the carriage that returned to the Chengguo Mansion and returned to the snow at night, he glanced at the sky, it was still early, stopped his steps, and avoided the carriage waiting for the snow at night.
The carriage of Ye Guixue came close, the coachman grabbed the reins of the horse, stopped the car, Ye Guixue lifted the curtain, poked his head out, and greeted Zhou Gu, "Son Thursday." β
Zhou Gu arched his hand, "The second son of the night." β
Ye Guixue asked, "Why did Childe walk alone on Thursday?" β
"I just came out of the East Palace and want to take a walk."
Returning to the snow at night, looking at his thin clothes, he asked gently: "This weather is too cold, it is cold in winter, I am afraid that the injuries on the body of the prince on Thursday are not healed, you need to be careful, there is still a long way to go from the Protector's Mansion, and you came out of the East Palace, walked here, and walked so far, now it is better to get in the car, I will send you home, right?" β
Zhou Gu looked at Ye Guixue, "How can you delay the time of the second son of the night?" I'll just walk slowly on my own. β
Ye Guixue shook her head, "Don't delay." β
Zhou Gu smiled and thanked him, "Then thank you to the second son of the night." β
So, Zhou Gu got into the carriage that returned to the snow at night.
The coachman turned his horse's head and walked towards the Protector's Mansion.
The carriage was very comfortable and warm, and Ye Guixue handed Zhou Gu a cup of hot tea, "The fourth prince warms his hands." β
Zhou Gu took it and thanked him again, "Thank you for the second son of the night." β
Zhou Gu didn't know what to say, he and Ye Guixue were destined to be friends He admired people like Ye Guixue, but because of Su Rong, he could only stop admiring him, and even, he didn't know if one day, he would fight against him, after all, he couldn't let go of Su Rong, and he, now being Su Rong's fiancΓ©, made him jealous.
Zhou Gu never thought that one day, he would be jealous of Su Rong's fiancΓ©.
When he was once crowned with this name, he didn't care very much at that time, before he saw her, he couldn't wait to take it off, but he didn't expect that one day, this name was crowned by someone else, and he couldn't wait to go back and stab himself who he didn't cherish.
Ye Guixue treated Zhou Gu like a friend, very gentle, and asked him, "I heard that the scientific examination is about to be released, and the fourth prince will definitely be on the list, congratulations in advance." β
Zhou Gu tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Thank you." β
It seems that he will not say anything else except Xie.
Ye Guixue smiled, "Today I discussed with Brother Xingze, Brother Xingze highly admired the talent of the fourth son, and now there is still some distance, if it is convenient for the fourth son, I want to discuss one or two with the fourth son." β
Zhou Gu nodded, "It's convenient, I have been looking up to the name of the second son of the night for a long time, and I have never found an opportunity, but I am fortunate today." β
So, the two of them went back and forth and talked about learning.
Returning to the snow at night and reading through the history books, so did Zhou Gu, unconsciously, the long distance had been completed, the carriage stopped at the door of the Protector's Mansion, the coachman's voice sounded, and Zhou Gu came back to his senses.
He stopped talking and said goodbye to Ye Guixue, "Thank you for the second son of the night today, it is getting late, so I won't invite the second son of the night into the house, and I will invite the second son of the night to eat and drink another day." β
Returning to the snow at night, "I have a discussion with the son on Thursday today, and I have benefited a lot." β
"The second son of the night is humble, and he has also benefited a lot from it." Zhou Gu got out of the carriage and did not enter the mansion immediately, but watched the carriage of the night return to the snow leave, until the carriage of the night return to the snow left the end of the long street and was nowhere to be seen, then he retracted his gaze and walked towards the house.
The housekeeper greeted Zhou Gu, "Fourth son, why did you send the carriage back in advance?" How did you get back? Did you really walk back? β
Zhou Gu shook his head, "The second son of the night sent me back." β
The housekeeper was stunned, "What, how did you meet the second son of the night?" β
"What a coincidence." Zhou Gu didn't want to say more.
The butler nodded and said to him, "The prince has returned." β
Zhou Gu paused and was surprised, "Big brother is back?" When did he come back? Where is it now? β
"The eldest prince came back before noon, and he has already met the old prince and the eldest princess, and now he is waiting for you in your courtyard."
Zhou Gu nodded and strode towards his yard.
Zhou Wei, the son of the Protector's Mansion, although he and Zhou Gu are from the same mother, but because they stay in the military camp all the year round, they are much tougher than Zhou Gu, and their body is almost stronger than Zhou Gu, especially since Zhou Gu retired from marriage, the whole person has lost a lot of weight, and after being seriously injured, he is a little more weak.
Therefore, when Zhou Wei saw Zhou Gu, the whole person almost didn't recognize him, "Fourth brother? β
Zhou Gu hadn't seen Zhou Gu for a few months, and he was still very happy, "Big brother." β
Zhou Wei was sure, it was Zhou Gu That's right, he frowned, "Why did you lose so much weight?" I heard that your injuries haven't healed yet, why did you run out of the house? β
Zhou Gu shook his head, "My injuries are no longer serious, and my eldest brother seems to have lost weight, is it because of the hard training recently?" β
Zhou Wei nodded, "Grandfather has already sent someone to inform me that I will train my troops diligently, and I am afraid that the Great Wei will start a war, and it has been really hard recently." β
After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Gu, "I heard your sister-in-law say, you haven't been doing well lately?" β
Zhou Gu smiled, "It's good." β
Zhou Wei looked at him, but he didn't see that he was described by his own princess as full of depression, except for being thinner, it seemed that his expression was not bad, he was relieved, and said to him: "I heard my grandfather say that after the scientific examination is released, you plan to leave Beijing to travel?" β
"Hmm." Zhou Gu nodded.
Zhou Wei agreed, "It's a good thing to go out for a walk, it stands to reason that a few years ago, you should have gone out for a walk, but you have been being the prince's companion and was trapped in the East Palace, although it is a little late now, but you are not for the present dynasty, but for the future to be the auxiliary minister of His Royal Highness the Prince, the time is still long, but it is not too late." β
Zhou Gu was silent, and did not mention that he did not plan to be the prince's auxiliary minister.
Zhou Wei asked: "After leaving Beijing, where do you plan to go to the first place?" β
"Nanping." Zhou Gu said.
Zhou Wei bowed, "Do you know when the list will be released?" β
Zhou Gu replied, "The Great Confucian has already read the list and released the list, and tomorrow His Majesty will be able to release the list, but it will not be more than a day or two." β
Zhou Wei was stunned, "So, it won't take you a few days to leave Beijing?" β
Zhou Gu nodded.
Zhou Wei said: "It's so dangerous outside, the guards around you are afraid that the defense is not enough, from my guards, I will transfer some people for you to take away, right?" β
Zhou Gu shook his head, "Mother has borrowed some manpower from the Qinghe Cui clan, eldest brother, don't worry, it's enough." β
Zhou Wei immediately smiled when he heard this, "Yes, I forgot, there are many dangers outside, and my mother is not at ease with you, so she has prepared manpower for you in advance and is thoughtful." β
He sighed and smiled, "Fourth brother, you have to be good, if something happens to you, my mother will not be able to live." When you are away from home, always remember that there are grandparents, mothers and I waiting for you to come back. β
Zhou Gu pursed his lips, "Big brother, I know." β
He knew that there were relatives in the family who were looking forward to his safe return, but he also knew that there was only one thing he could guarantee, to try to keep himself safe, and as for returning home, he didn't know.
Because he was going to Nanchu, he wanted to take root in Nanchu, which was contrary to their expectations.
Babies, the monthly pass is shaken, especially those who support Zhou Gu, do you understand~?
