After the truth was revealed, the old protector looked at Zhou Gu and felt sorry for his grandson again. He even regretted it. If he had booked Su Rong with Zhou Che instead of Zhou Gu, he would have no worries at all.
, Zhou Che’s temperament is not stubborn for one reason, he is not as smart as Zhou Gu, and he does not have high hopes for him. The second reason is that he does not focus on training, and he has no intention of becoming an auxiliary minister in the future. Even if he follows Su Rong to Southern Chu and becomes the king
Husband, it is also feasible.
Zhou Che is not Zhou Gu. He does not need to support the future of the Protector's Palace, nor has the responsibility of assisting the Ming Dynasty in reviving the Daliang State. He can completely leave the Protector's Palace and be the husband of Su Rong alone. Instead, he still relies on
The Duke Protector's Office can gain a foothold in Southern Chu and fulfill his position as a royal husband.
Princess Sheng'an, who had been silent for a long time, stood up, hugged Zhou Gu who was sitting stiffly, patted his shoulder, and said distressedly: "It's all Chu Rong's fault, why is the harem vacant? He has no children, and he offended that little one for nothing.
The girl has no way out, otherwise she will marry into our Duke Protector's Palace smoothly. Even if her background is exposed in the future, our Duke Protector's Palace will fight to the death to protect her."
"And now..." Princess Sheng'an sighed, "She broke off her engagement with you, which means she has made up her mind to seize power. Regardless of the thorns ahead, she will always go against you."
The old protector of the country said: "Little girls know how to indulge in love, but you, a majestic man who has read the books of sages and knows things well, how can you ruin your future and block her path forward? Think about it for yourself!"
Zhou Gu closed his eyes.
The old Protector scolded, "You stinky boy, you..."
"Okay, stop talking." Princess Sheng'an glared at the old protector.
The old Protector shut his mouth.
After a while, Zhou Gu opened his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "I understand."
He stood up slowly and bowed to the old Protector and Princess Sheng'an in a polite manner, "Grandpa, grandma, I'm going back."
The old Protector opened his mouth and finally waved his hand, "Go!"
The eldest princess of Sheng'an was a little worried. After Zhou Gu left, she complained to the old protector of the country, "You say things as you say. What did you say in the end? To impose your wishes on the child."
"If I don't tell him, can't he understand?" said the old protector of the country: "Then why did the little girl cut off the trouble quickly? After learning about her life experience, she decisively broke off the engagement? Do you think she is only for yourself? That little girl is
I also see clearly that with this brat’s ability, he will establish himself in the Daliang court and serve as an auxiliary minister in the future. He has a smooth career and the ability to be remembered in history. How can a mere love compare? Zhenmin could give up love for Daliang in the first place.
, that little girl’s blood is flowing in her bones, she only hopes that Daliang will be well and live up to her mother’s sacrifice for righteousness.”
"Forget it, what you said is right." Princess Sheng'an looked tired, "I only pity my grandson, and it's all your fault. I chose Zhou Gu out of the blue. If he couldn't let go, he would feel sad in his heart.
He has become a second Chu Rong. He is obsessed with one person and will never marry for the rest of his life. What should I do? Do I really want to see him alone for the rest of his life? "
The old Protector fell silent.
Zhou Gu returned to his Shuanglin Garden, entered his room, and locked himself up.
Midnight was horrified to find that the young master had closed all the curtains in the house, blocking out any light, and closed the door tightly. He was standing outside the door and outside the window, and there was no gap in the room.
He scratched his head and ears for a long time, then whispered, "Sir, are you okay? What's wrong with you? Don't do anything stupid."
Zhou Gu actually did nothing. He just sat on the ground in the room, just sitting quietly. When he heard Ziye calling him repeatedly, he said hoarsely, "I'll be fine. Please be quiet and don't bother me."
I."
Midnight suddenly fell silent.
Zhou Gu sat there for half an hour before he got up, pulled out a wooden box from under the bed, dumped the jigsaw puzzle, Luban Lock, Huarong Dao, Jiuluan and other playthings in the wooden box on the ground, and then sat down
On the ground, start to dismantle these things.
These were the things he played with when he was a child. Over the years, he would occasionally play with them. Even if the eldest brother married the eldest sister-in-law, the second brother married the second sister-in-law, and both had little nephews and little nieces, he did not contribute to it, but kept doing it himself.
He kept it not to leave it to his children in the future, but to take it out to play with when he felt bored.
But this was the first time. He felt so depressed that he couldn't breathe. He closed all the doors and windows, drew the curtains, and hid in a human world, while his men kept dismantling it.
After all, the eldest princess of Sheng'an was worried about her grandson, so she sent someone to ask Zhou Gu. Midnight whispered back, "Since the young master came back, he locked himself in the room alone and didn't even eat dinner."
The visitor hurried back to report to the eldest princess Sheng'an. The eldest princess Sheng'an couldn't sit still. She wanted to go to Zhou Gu's yard, but was stopped by the old protector. "He is already old. He was stubborn when he was a child, let alone now."
He has grown up, you have to give him time."
The eldest princess of Sheng'an had no choice but to give up and sent someone to tell Ziye to listen to some of the noise in the room. Since he didn't want anyone to disturb him, he shouldn't be disturbed.
Then, he sent someone to call the Duke's wife, told Zhou Gu's situation, and then sighed, "Brother Gu has a deep love for Su Rong unknowingly. You are his mother. Take a look.
How to think of a way to enlighten him, his grandfather and I have said everything that needs to be said, but I am afraid that he will not be able to think clearly."
The Duke's wife was silent for a while, then nodded, "Mom, Brother Gu will figure it out on his own."
Every descendant of the Duke Protector's Mansion is born for the family and grows up for the country. She has two sons. The eldest son, Zhou Wei, is the eldest son of the Duke Protector's Mansion. He has the duty to support the family in the future. The second son, Zhou Gu, has been there since he can remember.
, he has chosen his future path. As the saying goes, civil and military achievements complement each other. The Duke Protector of the Kingdom does not want to repeat the mistakes of the past. The Wei Dynasty sent troops to invade, and all the adult men in the family died on the battlefield, but they could not save the precarious situation of Daliang.
He wanted Princess Zhenmin to have a daughter, sacrifice her life for righteousness, and save Daliang from fire and water.
The lessons of history's blood and tears were like a wake-up call. Her father-in-law, the old protector of the country, knew at that time that if Liang wanted to have a strong national power, both civil and military skills were indispensable.
land.
Therefore, he asked Zhou to study Xiwen.
It doesn't matter if your Majesty has a different temperament now, there is still a prince. One monarch and one minister, one governs the country, and the other assists the country.
As Zhou Gu's mother, she naturally knew all this, and Zhou Gu himself had always understood it in his heart.
After leaving the yard of Princess Sheng'an, the Duke's wife went to Zhou Gu's Shuanglin Garden. She saw the empty grape trellis in his yard, and thought of Su Rong she saw in Prince Ruian's Mansion. Her every word and deed, every move
In one move, he was well-mannered and spoke with a smile. In the short time he came to Beijing, he single-handedly won Princess Qingping, Princess Ruian, and Mrs. Shen Xian. Although the ladies attending the banquet did not say so in public at that time, they did so in private.
They were all surprised and admired. Who would have thought that a little girl like her, with no family to accompany her and just herself, could integrate into the aristocratic circles of the capital so easily.
She didn't find it strange at all that Zhou Guda had such a capable mind.
She stood in the courtyard for a while, then came out at midnight and whispered: "Madam, you are here, the young master is still locking himself up."
The Duke's wife nodded, looked at the closed doors and windows, and the airtight curtains. She sighed secretly, "Instruct the kitchen to warm the meal for him. Whenever he is willing to open the door, remind him to eat."
Midnight responded.
The Duke's wife stood for a moment longer, did not enter the room, turned around and left.
Zhou Gu sat from the afternoon to midnight, turning over and over again to put together a box of things countless times. When he was tired, he packed them up one by one, stuffed the box under the bed, clapped his hands, turned around and opened the door.
.
Ziye stood at the door. Seeing Zhou Gu open the door, his eyes lit up, "Master, you..."
Zhou Gu rubbed his eyebrows and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm hungry."
Ziye said quickly, "I will go to the study to bring you something to eat."
