Chapter 105 Roasted chestnuts with sugar (first update)
Xie Lin clicked his tongue in his heart. He wanted to say that you wanted to do your best to be a landlord, but would Su Xingze let you do it? Looking at this look, it must be quite annoying, right?
He ignored Zhou Gu and continued to ask Su Xingze, "Brother Su, how are you?"
Su Xingze shook his head and said warmly: "Mr. Xie has a house in Beijing and has given me the key. After I come to Beijing, I will live in your house, so I don't have to bother Brother Xie."
The implication is that he will not live in the Duke Protector's Mansion.
Xie Lin said "Oops", "I forgot. Mr. Xie was a well-known figure in the capital back then. He had been away from the capital for many years. I thought he had sold the house, but it turns out he hadn't."
After he finished speaking, he said with emotion, "When my grandfather was still alive, he often said that with the same surname as Xie, my father didn't have Xie Yuan's head."
Su Xingze smiled and made no comment.
Xie Lin asked: "Where is that house?"
In Daliang Capital, with the imperial palace as the center, there is a saying that the east is rich and the west is noble, and the south is poor and the north is humble. The Ruian Palace and the Protector's Palace are both located in the west city surrounding the imperial city. I don't know where Xie Yuan's mansion is. Find it.
Is it convenient for him?
"In Dongsi Hutong in Dongcheng." Su Xingze said.
"It takes a moment to ride a horse and half an hour to drive. It's not too far. It's not too far." Xie Lin quickly calculated the distance.
Zhou Gu opened his mouth and then closed it. He didn't expect that Xie Yuan still kept a house in the capital. Originally, he planned to let Su Xingze live in the Duke Protector's Mansion, so he deliberately waited for Su in Jiangzhou.
The trip lasts two days.
The boy brought the food, but Xie Lin stopped talking.
After dinner, Su Xingze went back to his room. Zhou Gu felt depressed and didn't want to go back to his room, so he planned to go out for a walk.
Xie Lin saw him walking out and called to him, "Hey, where are you going?"
"Go for a walk."
"I'll go with you too." Xie Lin followed him.
Zhou Gu did not object.
The two walked out of the inn together and walked to the street. Xie Lin saw that Zhou Gu seemed to be in a bad mood, which was understandable. It was strange that he was in a good mood when he encountered such trouble as Duan Hua. Even a man couldn't be in a good mood.
He leaned closer and looked around, and whispered: "Hey, I think your wife is not easy to marry."
Zhou Gu glanced at Xie Lin and said, "Are you kidding me?"
Xie Lin raised his eyebrows, "Didn't you call me to watch your joke? I didn't want to see it, but you insisted on calling me. Do you think I am willing to get in front of Duanhua? If she gets a grudge, I will
There is no good fruit to eat either.”
Zhou Gu snorted, "Why are you afraid of her?"
Xie Lin clicked his tongue, "If you're not afraid, what's bothering you?"
Zhou Gu stopped talking.
Xie Lin said very understandingly: "I know you are doing it because of Brother Su's attitude. Hey, don't mention it, he is really a person. Let's take your matter today as an example. Who should we blame? As a prospective brother-in-law,
, I’ve seen it with my own eyes, and it’s impossible to give you a good look, but Brother Su, he just acts like a normal person.”
He gave a thumbs up, "Amazing! I said he will definitely have a place in the capital in the future."
When Zhou Gu heard this, he thought to himself that it was not his illusion, but something was wrong with Su Xingze. He frowned and said, "You also think he shouldn't be like this?"
"What do you mean it shouldn't be like this? No normal person can do this." Xie Lin said.
Zhou Gu nodded, rarely asking Xie Lin for his opinion, "So, what do you think he is thinking?"
"What can you think? He is powerful, he has a plan in mind, and his inner palace is very deep. If he doesn't face you, he will probably keep it in mind for you. When he gets back, he will write a letter to Miss Su Qi." Xie Lin looked at it.
Looking at him, "But I think you didn't do anything wrong today. Don't be too nervous. You are so cold-blooded and ruthless. I almost can't stand it. You are the only one who can be cold-blooded after seeing how much Duan Hua has been put through."
You can do it with your heart, and no one else can do it. Miss Su Qi is a sensible person, and she will never be dissatisfied with you. If Duanhua is more troublesome, it will probably give her a headache."
Zhou Gu pursed his lips, "Is that so?"
"Yeah? What else could it be?" Xie Lin asked.
Zhou Gu couldn't tell, but his intuition told him that it was definitely not the case, but he couldn't tell what it was, so he said irritably: "Forget it."
It was impossible for him to ask Su Xingze.
Xie Lin patted Zhou Gu on the shoulder and felt that he was upset. He felt relieved and deliberately said sarcastically, "You deserve to be upset. If you didn't steal someone from me, I would be able to marry Qin Luan now."
The implication is that Duanhua interfered with your way to marry a wife, and it was all retribution for your failure to marry the person of your choice.
Zhou Gu snorted again.
When Xie Lin saw that Zhou Gu didn't refute, he had a gloomy look on his face. Although he was in a good mood, when it came to Qin Luan, he lost interest in laughing at his jokes. He sighed melancholy, "I don't know if she is doing well in the East Palace? Your Highness the Crown Prince.
Man...", he lowered his voice, "Can he hold a woman in his heart? I highly doubt it."
It's not that he is talking nonsense, it's actually that the prince, the prince, is too upright and upright. He only pretends to be a country strategy, which is different from other princes. Moreover, he was taught by the strict Taifu Qin from an early age, so he is not a person.
A person who is addicted to love.
No matter which family a girl like Qin Luan falls into, she can live a good life with her talent, beauty and scheming. But if she falls into the East Palace, she can't tell.
The old protector of the country was really a hothead, and he sent the person directly to the palace to let His Majesty make the decision. His Majesty was also very good at solving the matter, so he simply threw the person to the East Palace.
It doesn’t mean that a woman who enters the East Palace cannot come out in her lifetime, but basically there is not much hope of coming out, unless one day in the future, His Majesty dies, the prince takes power, and then he is released. How many years and months will it take?
Xie Lin felt that his heart was completely broken, so he didn't need to think about it, and he couldn't remember it.
Zhou Gu thought of the person the prince asked him to look for. He asked Zhou Xi to send people to search the entire Jiangning County, but he could not find the person holding his dagger. However, the prince later said that he had found the person and told him not to look any further.
.
He thought to himself, how could the prince not be able to accommodate women? It was just that he could not tolerate the women in the capital.
But since the prince wanted to hide this matter, he naturally couldn't tell Xie Lin. After walking for a while, he saw a man selling roasted chestnuts with sugar on the street. He walked over and bought one.
Xie Lin was surprised, "You actually like to eat this?"
Zhou Gu paused for a moment and then said, "Su Rong loves to eat."
Xie Lin laughed "ha" and made fun of him, "I said Zhou Gu, Zhou Gu, you will have this day too!"
When he robbed Qin Luan from him, he was puzzled. Why did he rob Qin Luan without seeing how much he liked him? Later, when he understood the reason, he was so angry that he died. He cursed him in his heart at that time. When he met him later,
If he likes someone, he will snatch her away. If he cannot snatch her away, he will also destroy him and make him unable to marry anyone.
But he didn't expect to hear that he had a fiancée soon, who was a concubine. After hearing this, he was shocked for a long time, and naturally gave up the idea of stealing her from him. He was robbed of a little concubine.
But he didn't expect Zhou Gu to care so much. He curiously chased her to Jiangning County just to see what kind of fiancée Zhou Gu didn't even care about her status as a concubine. Unexpectedly, Su Rong really surprised him.
Even though Su Rong is nice, he is Zhou Gu's legitimate fiancée after all. Unlike Qin Luan, he can steal a girl who has no owner, but he can't do such an immoral thing to a girl who has an owner with a marriage certificate. This is immoral.
, he can only do it.
But now seeing Duan Hua like this, he thought that even if he didn't destroy it, Duan Hua would destroy it, and he was troubled in his heart. Don't let his curse come true, right?
"So what if I have this day? My fiancée is just and legitimate." Zhou Gu took the bag of roasted chestnuts with sugar, gave the vendor a few copper coins, and continued walking forward.
Xie Lin looked at his expression and suddenly felt a little guilty. At this time, he stopped teasing him and followed him and said, "Okay, you have a fiancée, as long as you can marry her smoothly."
Zhou Gu glanced at him and still remembered his promise, "Don't worry, I will help you find another one like Qin Luan."
Xie Lin: "..."
No need to!
The two walked along the street for a while, and when they saw that it was getting late, they turned back to the inn.
The lights were on in Su Xingze's room, and his figure could be seen in front of the window, as if he was holding a book and reading.
Zhou Gu didn't even eat a single roasted chestnut in his hand. He walked directly to Su Xingze's room and knocked on the door, "Brother Su."
Su Xingze put down the book, walked to the door, looked at Zhou Gu, "What's the matter?"
Zhou Gu did not enter the house and handed over sugar-roasted chestnuts, "I saw someone selling sugar-roasted chestnuts on the street. Last time Xiaoqi and I went shopping and bought a lot. I asked and she said one was for you.
I bought it, thinking that Brother Su would like to eat this, so I bought it for you too."
Su Xingze was silent for a moment.
Roasted chestnuts with sugar are not something he likes to eat, but Su Rong and Yue Wan like to eat. Ever since they were young, as long as he was in the house, Su Rong would have a share of the food he bought, whether he liked it or not. This annoyed all the six people in the house.
Both sisters were jealous, saying that Su Rong, a heartless person, was only good to her eldest brother, but had no such heart for them. She only came to them when borrowing money and didn't think about them when she had delicious food.
Su Rong naturally wouldn't tell them that he privately gave her fifty taels of silver a month, and she reciprocated the favor by buying him one, which was indeed conscientious. She just said confidently that she had a lot of sisters and only one eldest brother, so he should enjoy it.
This is my sister’s only care.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile, took the sugar-roasted chestnuts, and thanked Zhou Gu, "Thank you very much."
Zhou Gu saw him smiling and knew that he had made the right purchase. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Brother Su, please rest early. Let's get up early and start our journey tomorrow."
