The big kitchen was busy with work, and the cook used her best skills to prepare a large table full of fish feast.
During the dinner, Zhou Gu was still next to Su Rong. Su Rong often ate fish and was very good at catching, killing and eating fish. She picked out the fish bones with clean chopsticks and put them cleanly.
on a plate and placed it in front of Zhou Gu.
Zhou Gu turned his head to look at her. No one had ever picked a fish bone for him.
Su Rong blinked at him, "I see you are eating slowly, please help you."
Zhou Gu looked a little unnatural, "Thank you."
Su Ronxiao, "You're welcome."
The two people spoke very quietly, but they still attracted attention.
The eldest lady was very satisfied, thinking that Xiao Qi had finally learned how to coax people. The other aunts and ladies were shocked, thinking that there was no such thing as cold-heartedness. If someone is really cold-hearted,
She is cold-hearted because she has never met a man who makes her cold-hearted. For example, Su Rong in the past and Su Rong now.
Su Taishou was so happy that he took Zhou Gu to drink, "Nephew Zhou Xian, we didn't have a good time drinking at noon, can we have a good time tonight?"
Zhou Gu nodded, "I'll do my best to accompany you, uncle."
Su Taishou laughed loudly, "Come on, come on, drink."
After three rounds of wine and five delicious dishes, Su Taishou patted Zhou Gu on the shoulder and said with a loud tongue: "My dear nephew, my Xiaoqi is very good. You have just met her now and you still don't understand how good she is. In the future,
As time goes by, you will understand."
Zhou Gu thought to himself, it doesn't take long, she is so capable, he has already gained experience.
"My Xiao Qi has been different from other girls' families since she was a child. She... ahem... madam, why are you screwing me?" Su Taishou wanted to talk to Zhou Gu properly, but his lower back hurt and he turned around to look.
Madam.
The eldest lady immediately said: "You drank too much."
Su Taishou raised his head and asked, "Am I drinking too much?"
"Yes, you drank too much. My nephew has been tired all day. Stop making him talk nonsense and go back to rest." Of course, it is impossible for the eldest lady to let the drunken Taishou Su reveal Su Rong's shortcomings and Su Rong's style.
Comments can be ruined in the hands of others, but not in the hands of her own father. When others say bad things about Su Rong, she can confidently curse out rumors, but if her own father talks nonsense, he will really die, and she cannot kill her husband.
"Oh, my nephew is tired. Let's not talk anymore. Let's drink some other time." Su Taishou had an advantage in listening to others' advice, and it showed at this time.
Zhou Gu felt regretful. He wanted to hear more about how Su Rong was different from his other daughters, but unfortunately, he had no choice but to give up.
Su Taishou's Mansion was lively and the atmosphere was very good. On the contrary, the atmosphere of Jiangzhou Governor's Mansion was not so good.
When the governor of Jiangzhou, Jiang Sheng, heard about the trouble his daughter had caused today, he was furious and cursed Jiang Yunying, "You haven't figured out the identity of the people around Su Rong, how could you say such ugly words? What's wrong with you?"
Was it eaten by a dog?”
Jiang Yunying kept crying, and the wound on her neck bled again because she cried so hard.
Ning Chi held up his hands and said, "Uncle Jiang's Mansion, Sister Jiang already knows she was wrong, so please stop scolding her. Even I didn't expect that person to be Zhou Gu. If I had known earlier, I should have stopped him earlier."
"She provoked people to draw their swords with just one sentence. How can I blame you for not stopping her earlier?" Jiang Sheng said angrily, "Nephew Ning Xian, you don't have to say nice things to her. She's really used to it."
Jiang Sheng ordered angrily, "Come here and punish the eldest lady from today..."
"Uncle Jiang, Sister Jiang has been injured. This punishment is unnecessary, right? Let's not do it again! If you punish Sister Jiang, even I will have to be punished. After all, she accompanied me to Jiangning County and caused this matter.
." Ning Chi begged again, "What's more, when I go to Jiangning Prefect's Mansion tomorrow, Sister Jiang will have to go and apologize in person. She was also frightened today, so let her rest early!"
Jiang Sheng sighed, "Hey, nephew Ning Xian, you are really..."
He was angry and said, "If you weren't involved by her, how could you reveal your identity? Zhou Gu has been a student of the East Palace for several years. Although the Duke Protector's Palace did not join the East Palace, everyone around him knew that Zhou Gu and the East Palace were together.
He is half from the East Palace. Now that you have revealed your identity when you meet him, I am afraid that the news of your coming to Jiangzhou cannot be concealed."
"If you can't hide it, you can't hide it." Ning Chi smiled, "Sooner or later, people will know about it anyway."
"That's sooner rather than later." Jiang Sheng was angry and glared at Jiang Yunying, "It's all your fault!"
Jiang Yunying just cried and couldn't say a word.
"Uncle, no one expected this to happen. Don't blame Sister Jiang. She has been frightened so much today that she will have nightmares at night. It is better to have someone make her a bowl of soothing soup."
Although Jiang Sheng was furious, his only legitimate daughter still expected her to get married, so he couldn't be frightened, so he took the opportunity to go down the steps and said, "That's it. Since you plead for her, I will exempt her from punishment today."
He turned to Jiang Yunying with a serious face, "For the sake of Prince Ning, I won't punish you today. In the future, keep your eyes open and don't blame others without knowing their identity and cause trouble for the family."
Jiang Yunying nodded with tears in her eyes.
"Go down!" Jiang Sheng waved.
Jiang Yunying was helped down by her maid.
The governor's wife never spoke, mainly because she was too frightened and has not recovered yet. She confirmed again and again, "Is the fiancé of the little concubine really really Zhou Gu of the Protectorate?"
"Aunt, I can testify that Zhou Gu is right." Ning Chi affirmed.
"He, how could he be engaged to a concubine?" The governor's wife was extremely puzzled. Anyone who could tell this would be a fantasy, right? It was simply unbelievable.
Ning Chi was also shocked and surprised. He didn't think about it on the way back, "I don't know the inside story, but from what I heard, it means that I have been engaged since childhood."
"So, what Mrs. Su said three years ago is true." The governor's wife looked very unhappy. She was so angry at first and thought the Su family was trying to trick her into evading responsibility, but she didn't expect it to be true.
She looked at Governor Jiang and said, "Master, look at this..."
"It's all you! I had to hold on to people in the past, but now, where can I put my old face? Where can I put your face? You have raised a good daughter!" Jiang Governor was angry, "Why don't you go and prepare a big gift?
, follow me to Jiangning County early tomorrow morning."
To apologize to Zhou Gu, you must be sincere, and you must also say as much good things as possible to Prefect Su and his wife.
The governor's wife was a little unwilling. She wanted to save her face. She asked tentatively: "Do you really want me and I to go and make amends in person? That young master Zhou, although he is from a good family, he doesn't have any official position..."
Governor Jiang said angrily: "Why did your good daughter scold someone? Do you think that if you don't go and apologize in person, he will be merciful? Do you really wait for the old protector to come out to protect the calf? And then you won't shed tears even if you don't see the coffin? You are confused!"
The governor's wife trembled, "I'll go right now!"
Governor Jiang turned to Ning Chi and sighed, "My dear nephew, I'm making you laugh! It's because I'm not strict in running the family."
Ning Chi shook his head, "I don't blame my uncle. Who would have thought that the youngest son of the Protector's Palace would be engaged to a concubine from the Jiangning Prefectural Palace since childhood? Especially when Zhou Gu still lives in the Prefecture's Palace, it is said that it was for her hairpin gift.
Come here, you can see that you take it seriously."
He wondered, "A few days ago, I heard that Zhou Gu and Xie Lin fought over Qin Luan, the daughter of the former censor Zhongcheng Qin Yuan, and now in a short period of time, he actually appeared in Jiangning County to accompany his fiancée. This is really confusing.
"
Jiang Prefect also didn't understand, "Indeed, hey, let's talk about it when we meet Zhou Gu tomorrow! It's not appropriate to make this matter a big deal, otherwise it will be detrimental to me." He patted Ning Chi on the shoulder again, "My dear nephew, our two families
It is not advisable to go wrong with the marriage, otherwise it will be detrimental to His Highness."
"Uncle is right, I will go to the prefect's mansion with you and aunt tomorrow." Ning Chi expressed his position.
