Although the Duke Protector's Palace has a large family, because Zhou Gu's father and uncles all died in the battlefield at a young age, the number of people in the Duke Protector's Palace is actually not that large. To make a fortune through military service, there must be a sacrifice of blood.
.His grandfather retired because he was seriously injured and could no longer go to the battlefield. His father and uncle were not so lucky. However, fortunately, they all got married before he died in the battle and had children, so the grandchildren's generation seemed to have a larger population.
In addition, the prosperous age is peaceful and there is no need to fight anymore. Although his three brothers are all in the army, they are all fine. He has a biological brother, Zhou Wei, the current eldest son of the Protectorate, and a biological sister.
, the rest are the cousins left behind by the uncles, and there are not many in number. Counting him, there are nine grandchildren in the entire Protectorate.
The Jiangning Prefecture is a small mansion, only one-tenth of the land of the Protector's Mansion, but it can be considered as supporting a large family with a population similar to that of the Protector's Mansion.
In the Protector's Mansion, except for New Year's Day, men and women sit separately, but in the Jiangning Prefect's Mansion, there is obviously no such rule and everyone is treated equally.
After everyone paid their respects, Zhou Gu sat down next to Prefect Su, and Su Rong sat down next to him.
The six aunts and six young ladies were all surprised. Obviously they had not expected that the young master of the Protector's Mansion was so good-looking. However, they were all very well-behaved people, and there was no intrigue or nonsense like other mansions.
Being a monster is due to the fact that the eldest lady manages the family well, rewards and punishments are clear, and everyone is treated equally. Therefore, due to the circumstances, except for the initial look of surprise and shock when they saw Zhou Gu, they never glanced at him again, which made Zhou Gu feel at ease.
A little more.
Su Taishou asked Zhou Gu, "My dear nephew, how do you drink?"
"Alright."
"How much is it?"
Zhou Gu wanted to say, "I won't get drunk after a thousand cups," but felt that this was too young and frivolous, so he could only say, "A pot of wine is fine."
Su Taishou laughed loudly, "Then I understand. You at least have enough capacity for a jar of wine."
Zhou Gu: "..."
Su Taishou ordered, "Come and get..."
"Father, we agreed that we would go out to play in the afternoon." Su Rong quickly interrupted Prefect Su, how could she allow Zhou Gu to drink too much? She hadn't gone out to play in more than half a month, so she must not go to the bath today.
"Uh..." Su Taishou paused and looked at the two of them, "Did you agree to go out to play in the afternoon?"
Zhou Gu said nothing.
Su Rong nodded, "Yes, since he came to Jiangning, he hasn't gone out to play outside the city yet, so I decided to take him to Phoenix Mountain."
"Go climb the mountain. The mountain is very steep." Su Taishou was worried that Su Rong would reveal his secret.
The eldest lady coughed, knowing that Su Rong was holding it back very hard. If she was not allowed to go out, she might run out secretly, so she suggested: "It's better to go on a cruise."
"That's okay. Anyway, we are going out to have fun. Father, you can't drink too much today, otherwise, you won't be drunk until the evening?" Su Rong said in a gentle and considerate tone, not at all tough.
Several aunts and young ladies looked at her one after another, secretly thinking that she was dressed quite decently. If in the past, she had said "no" calmly and without any emotion, this would have been really impossible.
, even to the prefect Su, or the eldest lady, let alone people like them, with the exception of Su Xingze.
"Ahem, okay! Then let's have two pots. My nephew and I will have a pot each and have a drink." Su Taishou compromised.
Su Rong smiled softly, "Thank you, father."
Su Taishou felt relieved and waited for someone to bring him wine. He said to Zhou Gu: "This is Jiangning's specialty, the finest drunken flower drink. Dear nephew, come and try this wine. This is my favorite wine."
Zhou Gu nodded, "Thank you uncle."
Two bottles of wine is just a light drink for a person who has some capacity for alcohol, so this meal was very peaceful.
After the meal, Su Rong couldn't wait to go out and play, but she still asked Zhou Gu patiently, "Do you want to take a rest?"
Zhou Gu shook his head, "I don't have the habit of taking naps."
"It just so happens that I don't have one either." Su Rong was happy, "Then let's go?"
Zhou Gu nodded hesitantly.
So Su Rong said hello to Prefect Su and Madam Su, and left with Zhou Gu.
After the two left, the eldest lady was a little worried, "This girl, I wonder if she can keep up the pretense until she has hair extensions. She won't be exposed after just half a day of pretense, right?"
"Let it be revealed!" Su Taishou had a different opinion, "Although Zhou Gu is good, and although the Protector's Office is good, we can't cheat on the marriage! We can't cheat for the rest of our lives."
The eldest lady glared at Su Taishou, "You are quite reasonable."
"I think Zhou Gu is a good kid. The Duke's education is better than ours." Su Taishou thought about Zhou Gu being forced to stay in the Prefect's Mansion. At that time, his face was very ugly, but he could bear it.
He fell out and had good self-cultivation. He didn't have this self-cultivation when he was as old as him. Of course, he was lucky not to meet such bad elders as him and his wife.
The eldest lady also thought about the two people going out of their way to bully other children, and laughed, "At such an age, this matter cannot be spread. Zhou Gu will not tell anyone about it, right?"
"You've done it, just say it!" Su Taishou always had a thicker skin, "Anyway, I have the old Protector's letter on my head, so I'm not afraid."
The eldest lady thought about it. Lao Guogong's letter made it clear, telling them not to treat Zhou Gu as an outsider and to get along with each other. He was waiting for good news and waiting to drink tea from his grandson's wife. Why doesn't Zhou Gu live at home?
How much do you want to get along with?
Therefore, the eldest lady only hoped that Su Rong would understand something and that what she had said to her in the past few days would work.
She then said to the aunts and young ladies who had not left: "Zhou Gu lives at home until Xiao Qi reaches the age of hairpin. During this period, no matter who you are, please don't cause any trouble for me. You must know that Xiao Qi will climb into the family."
Only with this Gao Zhi can you have a good future. If you ruin Xiao Qi's marriage and offend the Protectorate, no one in our family will be able to benefit from it."
Everyone nodded in unison.
The eldest lady was afraid that someone might be confused, so she said sternly: "Xiao Qi's marriage, no matter how Qi Yiniang got it in the first place, since she was able to get it and got so much attention from the old prince, it means that it is not simple.
Zhou Gu looks good, right? But don’t let anyone do something dirty like robbing your sister. Otherwise, I don’t need to tell you what the consequences will be. After all, you are not ignorant women.
You have all read the books in our house, and everyone has been taught by your husband. Even if you came in without a penny, you are now a person who is literate, knows your integrity, and knows what to do and what not to do.
, don’t eat our rice in vain and develop a confused mind.”
After she finished speaking, she praised him again: "You did a good job today. You all treated him like my seventh uncle. Don't go astray."
All the aunts expressed their opinions one after another, "Madam, don't worry, I won't do it. We are all waiting to get acquainted with Xiao Qiguang."
All the ladies had sincere expressions, "Mom, we all understand. We have been taught by you since we were young. We all understand this. We are one family, and we cannot have two hearts."
"Yes, mother, we don't dare to steal the Seventh Sister's people." Su Li, who is two months older than Su Rong, has a dull expression on her face, "She has a vicious look on her face, and I look forward to not provoking her for the rest of my life."
As soon as she said this, everyone was amused.
Fourth Yiniang echoed: "Isn't that right? Who dares to mess with her? Not to mention that since she was a child, she didn't dare to take things from her, let alone such a big living person?"
The eldest lady also felt that she was too nervous, so she also smiled, "I should worry about you, but this week, Gu, it looks so good. I'm afraid you might be confused."
"Let's keep an eye on it, won't we keep an eye on Xiao Qi even more? You see how she's pretending, I guess she likes it." Miss Wu thanked her, "My daughter is not as changeable as Xiao Qi. In the future, my mother will
I just want to be a more ordinary husband-in-law, and he will grow up to be like Mr. Zhou, a man who flirts with women. In addition to actively snatching women from others, there are probably many women in the capital watching and pestering him, which is really unsettling."
Madam: "..."
She was speechless, "You must have some potential! You are good-looking, you can please the eyes every day, and you can serve him, and you are happy to serve him. Are there few men who are ugly and behave like monsters? There are not many. No matter how you feel, you are tired.
, why not feel comfortable and tired."
Miss Fifth thought about it and felt ashamed, "What mother said is that her daughter has been taught a lesson, so it's up to you to look past her!"
