Chapter 419: Encountering an Old Man in Another Country
When Gu Xiyan got up the next day, Zhou Du had already finished practicing the sword.
After washing, the two husbands and wives went out of the post station together, planning to go around the city.
The Rong family is the richest man in Suzhou, and the city is full of Rong family shops, which were once run by Rong Song's father.
Later, Rong Song seized power, Rong Song's parents also died in an unknown manner, and Rong Song himself was so depressed that he was driven out of Suzhou and went to the capital to make a living.
When she knew that she was coming to Suzhou this time, Rong Song was silent for a long time, and her expression was also very heavy.
Although he didn't say anything, Gu Xiyan knew the pain in his heart.
Su Mei told him that Rong Song hoped to return to his hometown after success, and he hoped to avenge his parents.
She remembered that it was five years ago that Rong Song suddenly began to compete with Rong Song's parents for the power of the Rong family, and this situation was stalemate for nearly three years, and finally ended with Rong Song's father and mother dying of illness.
She suspected that Rong Song's parents did not die of illness at all, and it was likely that they were poisoned by Rong Da.
When Rong Song's parents died of illness, it was the time when Lu Nan became the prefect of Suzhou. The results of the autopsy showed that Rong Song's relatives died of natural causes, most likely because of Lu Nan as Rong Song's umbrella.
She remembered that after Zhou Xing's death in her previous life, although Rong Song fled, in the end, Rong Song still died in the hands of Rong Song, even if Rong Song himself was a lost dog at that time.
Zhou Du and Gu Xiyan first went to a restaurant, which was the restaurant opened by the Rong family. The restaurant business is not too good, the location is good, but there are not many diners.
Zhou Du took Gu Xiyan to pick a seat by the window, as early as when the couple appeared, the few diners stared at each other, it was really that such an outstanding person had never appeared in Suzhou City.
The fourth prince of Rong was also a romantic figure earlier, but he was later driven out of Suzhou City. There is another Jian Junyi, the eldest man of the Jian family, who is also an outstanding son, and now he is the first son of Suzhou City.
But even if they are suave characters like Rong Song and Jian Junyi, when they come to the white-clothed boy in front of them, they can only be compared.
What's more, the girl next to the boy in white is as beautiful as a flower and looks like a fairy.
As soon as the two high-value characters appeared, everyone's eyes seemed to be glued, and they couldn't take their eyes off.
The shopkeeper of the restaurant discovered these two fairy-like characters early in the morning, and recognized this fairy-like son at a glance as the object that Uncle Rong wanted to guard against.
He is the eldest son of Emperor Chengde, Zhou Du, who has just recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors this year.
After the shopkeeper considered it, he planned to entertain the two distinguished guests in person.
"What do you want for breakfast for the two distinguished guests, just order the food." The shopkeeper couldn't take the liberty of saluting Zhou Du and Gu Xiyan, so he could only pretend that he didn't know their identities and asked respectfully.
"Two bowls of beef noodle soup, one steamed cake, and another pot of mandarin fish stewed porridge." Speaking of this, Gu Xiyan looked at the tall and tall Zhou Duan, "Add another sauce mutton." ”
"Okay, please wait, breakfast soon!"
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he bowed down.
The other diners whispered when they saw this scene, and they were all guessing where Zhou Du and Gu Xiyan came from. Usually the shopkeeper of the restaurant drags it like something, when have you ever seen him so respectful to people?
Looking at the clothes, temperament, and appearance of this pair of men and women, they all show their nobility, and they are all faceless, which really makes people curious about their identities.
The shopkeeper instructed the cook to serve the food as soon as possible, and a quarter of an hour later, the shopkeeper personally delivered the breakfast to Gu Xiyan and Zhou Du.
Zhou Du took the lead in taking a bite, Gu Xiyan saw it in his eyes, and only sighed that Zhou Dui was big-hearted. But think about Zhou Dui himself is invincible, and the domineering poison when he was born failed to kill him, no wonder he has no habit of testing poison.
Zhou Du first ate a piece of mutton with sauce, and then frowned: "It's unpalatable." ”
Gu Xiyan also tried to take a bite and found that it was not Zhou Du who was picky, this sauce of mutton was firewood and fat, no wonder Zhou Duan said it was unpalatable.
If it was replaced by other guests, he would have been kicked out by the shopkeeper, but with Zhou Dui's identity, he could only make a smile: "Let the chef make a new one and send it to the small one." ”
Gu Xiyan tasted another bite of mandarin fish stewed porridge at this time, and then his eyebrows twisted slightly. The porridge is full of fishy smell, not ordinary unpalatable.
She put down the dishes and chopsticks and said to Zhou Dui, "Childe, let's go look elsewhere, shall we?" ”
Zhou Du didn't want to trample on Gu Xiyan's stomach, so he took Zhou Dui away. After Qi Zhiyuan put down the broken silver, he immediately followed.
Only the shopkeeper was left awkwardly in place, very embarrassed.
In the past, even if it was not delicious, no one would directly shake their faces like this, after all, it would be more or less a matter of how thin Uncle Rong was.
After Zhou Du and Gu Xiyan left the restaurant, Gu Xiyan said in a low voice: "It's so unpalatable and there are still diners patronizing, I don't know if there is money and nowhere to spend, or if Rong Song's influence in Suzhou is too great." ”
"No matter how you say it, you are the richest man in Suzhou, if you want to do business with the Su family, you have to find a sense of existence on the Rong family's territory." Zhou Du said lightly: "Let's go to other places for breakfast." ”
In the end, Zhou Du took Gu Xiyan to a small noodle restaurant, and ordered a bowl of beef noodles by himself.
The moment he entered, Gu Xiyan's eyes lit up: "It's delicious!" ”
Zhou Du smiled, "It's delicious and eat more, do you want to order another bowl?" ”
Gu Xiyan hurriedly shook his head: "You can't be greedy, this big bowl is enough." ”
Although Zhou Du is not a picky eater, because of the previous comparison, he feels that this bowl of noodles tastes really good when he eats it again.
The two had breakfast, wandered around the city, and went to the Rong family's ready-to-wear store after shopping.
The couple entered, and the shopkeeper greeted them warmly.
Gu Xiyan took a casual look and found that the ready-to-wear styles in the shop were old-fashioned, and the asking price was high, and it was also a miracle that such a ready-to-wear shop could still make a living.
Zhou Du looked at it for a while and was not interested, so he took Gu Xiyan and left.
The couple wandered around for another half an hour, and finally went to the Rong family's jewelry shop.
Coincidentally, Jiang Li was picking out jewelry in the jewelry shop, and there was a girl about fifteen years old beside her. The girl was dressed in a goose-yellow cloud-rimmed dress, with a slender waist and a small hand, a hibiscus face, and fox eyes, but she was as beautiful as a flower.
If there is no accident, this beautiful and moving girl is Rong Yu, the third girl of the Rong family.
Jiang Li didn't expect to see Gu Xiyan in Suzhou City.
She knew that she would be driven back to Suzhou because of Gu Xiyan's instructions behind her back, and the moment she saw Gu Xiyan, she couldn't help but clench her fists.
Gu Xiyan didn't seem to see the anger that flashed in Jiang Li's eyes when he saw her, and she smiled: "What a coincidence, I actually met my cousin here." ”
Jiang Li took a deep breath, and could only suppress the depression in his heart.
Just because Gu Xiyan's status is noble, and the eldest prince is still watching from the sidelines, how can she be disrespectful to Gu Xiyan?
No matter how much resentment she has, she can't show it on her face.
