When Zhou Xi saw the young master calling him, he immediately put his head towards him.
Zhou Gu whispered to Zhou Xi, "From now on, find someone for me. That person is a woman, probably a fisherman from a farm. She is carrying the prince's dagger. The dagger belongs to the master sculptor Zhang Chengming."
The sealing work is very special. The handle is full of auspicious cloud patterns. When heated with fire, the small characters of the prince will be reflected, making it easy to identify."
Zhou Xi immediately asked: "Are there any other characteristics? Like portraits or something?"
Zhou Gu shook his head, "No."
Zhou Xi was in a dilemma, "I'm afraid it's hard to find this one."
"Then you have to find it. I promised the prince."
Zhou Xi nodded, okay, it turns out the prince is looking for someone.
Zhou Gu also asked, "Act in secret and don't make it public."
Zhou Xiying should be.
So, after dinner, Zhou Gu took Ziye for a walk in the city, while Zhou Xi went back to arrange the manpower to find someone.
For three days in a row, Zhou Gu walked around the city before he called Zhou Xi and told him, "Send someone to send a message to the prefect's mansion in a while, saying that I will go to the mansion tomorrow to see you."
Zhou Xi nodded and took the initiative to report to Zhou Gu, "I have sent people to search for them for two days. There are not many families in Jiangning who make a living by fishing. I have asked people to search those families quietly."
Zhou Gu nodded.
Zhou Xi immediately sent someone to post a message to the prefect's mansion. The prefect's wife was happy. After receiving the message, she told Su Ronger, "I tell you, you look so good, don't waste it. You have to put on a good show for me."
, don’t show your true nature to scare people when you first meet them, and scare them away.”
Su Rong was helpless, "Mother, do I worry you that much?"
The eldest lady said politely: "You have."
Su Rong thought that it was all her fault that she had too many criminal records, and now she had no credibility in front of the eldest lady.
The eldest lady stretched out her hand and tapped her forehead, "I'm telling you, don't take it seriously. I quietly went to the street with your father last night and took a look at the young master Zhou. He was really good-looking. As long as he left,
All the girls and wives on the street looked at him, but his expression did not change. He had been here for three days and did not go to the Red Mansion Wine Shop. He only walked around the street. It was obvious that his character was passable, at least.
Not a drunkard."
Su Rong was shocked, "Mother, what are you and father doing? Is it necessary?"
You actually go to the street and peek at people? If you were discovered, where would you put your face?
The eldest lady met Su Rong's eyes, her face a little uneasy, "Your father and I, isn't this also for you?"
"Thank you very much." Su Rong was speechless, "You weren't discovered by him, were you?"
"No, we both put on people's clothes and glanced at him from a distance. We didn't get close to him. There were many people on the street and people were coming and going, but he didn't notice us."
Su Rong breathed a sigh of relief, "That's okay, otherwise if you are discovered, I will blush for you."
The eldest lady glared, "You can still blush for such an advanced thing?"
Su Rong: "..."
We can’t talk today!
On the second day, after breakfast, Zhou Gu took only one person, Ziye, to the door of Prefect Su.
The doorman of the Prefect's Mansion opened the door and saw two young men standing outside the door. One was very good-looking with fine features, and the other was dressed as a guard and was also very delicate. Both of them were young. He asked tentatively.
: "You two are..."
"Zhou Gu, Lord Protector of the State, came to pay homage to Grand Administrator Su and Mrs. Su." Zhou Gu reported his name.
The doorman was surprised and blurted out, "Seventh uncle?"
Zhou Gu's face froze, what the hell is the seventh uncle? He wanted to turn around and leave for a moment, but he held it back in the end.
The doorman was also shocked and lost his composure, and apologized again and again, "Young master Zhou, I'm sorry, I'm so excited to see you. The master and his wife have already given instructions. If you come to the door, you don't have to report. Please, please come in quickly."
."
The doorman opened the door wide and happily asked Zhou Gu to go inside. At the same time, he shouted to the inside: "Young Master Zhou is here!"
Zhou Gu: "..."
Is this how the governor's house treats guests?
As the doorman shouted, the quiet prefect's mansion suddenly became lively. Everyone who heard it shouted inside one after another, "Master, Madam, Young Master Zhou is here!"
No one had to run errands to report it. In just a moment, a series of shouts from different people spread from the door of the house to the front yard and then to the back yard.
Zhou Gu's forehead jumped. It was his first time to visit someone's house and encounter such a battle. It made him feel in a daze that he was some kind of emperor. He just shouted loudly and the whole house moved.
"Young Master, please hurry up and invite me!" Seeing that Zhou Gu had been motionless for a long time, the doorman came forward to grab him.
Zhou Gu gritted his teeth, forced himself to calm down, and walked inside.
He had just taken a few steps when the housekeeper Li Fu came out to greet him. He smiled happily and said, "Young master Zhou, I am the housekeeper Li Fu. Please come in and invite me."
Zhou Gu nodded and said reservedly: "Hello, Uncle Li!"
"Oh, I can't afford it, I can't afford it. I'm just in charge of everything in the house, but I don't dare to be called young master. I just want to call you Li Fu." The housekeeper thought about young master Zhou and the rumors.
It's not the same, he's not arrogant, how can he be so polite? He was really shocked.
He welcomed Zhou Gu all the way to the living room, and arranged for someone to serve tea, "Young Master, wait a moment, the Master and Madam will be here soon."
Zhou Gu nodded and walked in. He found that although the prefect's mansion was clean and tidy, it was not very elegant and exquisite. The living room was also very simple. I heard that the prefect Su was not greedy and Jiangning was rich, but he did not pay much in taxes every year.
, His Majesty once sent an inspection envoy to investigate, and checked Prefect Su thoroughly, but he was not found to have embezzled a single tael of money. It is said that when he handed over the paper, he made Your Majesty laugh in anger.
Your Majesty didn't seem to have expected that there really are some officials in the world who are not greedy for even a tael of silver.
Su Taishou was in the study, and the eldest lady was teaching Butler Su Rong. Neither of them expected that Zhou Gu would come to the door so early. When they heard someone shouting, the couple put down what they were doing and walked quickly from two directions.
Rush to the front office.
Before the eldest lady stepped out of the threshold, she turned back and told Su Rong solemnly, "Go and freshen up quickly. I'll call someone to call you later." After she finished speaking, she didn't quite believe Su Rong and ordered, "
Wang Ma, you dress her up and make sure she looks good."
Wang Ma smiled and responded, "Don't worry, madam."
