On the second day, early in the morning, after breakfast, Su Rong took Yue Wan to the guest house to find Zhou Gu.
Yue Wan yawned as she walked. Seeing Su Rong eating and sleeping well, feeling refreshed, she complained very sadly, "Miss, you are squeezing me, I am so sleepy."
"Why don't you go."
"No, young lady is going out with Young Master Zhou. How can there be no one following her?" Yue Wan shook her head, "The eldest lady said that she will give me a monthly salary next month."
She became energetic again and said happily: "My monthly salary is the same as Wang Ma's."
"Congratulations then." Su Rong patted her head, "Look carefully at the account book. If you learn well, when I get married in the future, I can manage the house by myself and give you the highest monthly salary in the whole house."
Yuewan suddenly felt no longer sleepy, "Okay, then I will definitely study hard."
The master and servant came to the living room. Su Rong stopped at the door and waved to a boy inside, "Go and ask Zhou Gu if he is okay? We went to Phoenix Mountain to play."
The boy agreed and went immediately.
Zhou Xi walked out from inside and bowed his hands to Su Rong in greeting, "Miss Seven, the youngest is Zhou Xi, the head of the Duke Protector's Palace."
"Master Zhou is doing well."
Zhou Xi thought that Miss Seven's appearance was one of the best in the capital. She was a perfect match for the Fourth Young Master. Apart from their different status, she was not timid, not reserved, and generous. Looking at it this way, she really couldn't fault her.
.
He smiled broadly and said, "Fourth Young Master has just finished his breakfast and packed it away. Why don't you come in and wait a moment?"
"No, I'll just wait for him here!" Su Rong asked, "Does Manager Zhou want to play with us?"
Zhou Xi shook his head, "The younger one won't go. Someone should be coming from Jiangzhou Governor's Mansion today. The younger one will stay in the mansion and deal with them with Mr. Su and Madam."
Su Rong nodded.
Zhou Gu didn't keep Su Rong waiting for long, and quickly walked out. When he saw Su Rong, he asked her naturally: "You said yesterday that you would go out on horseback today?"
"yes."
"Ziye got sick from eating fish last night. I'm resting in the house today, and Yuewan doesn't have to go. I'll just bring a few guards." Seeing Yuewan's sleepy face, Zhou Gu said kindly.
Su Rong naturally had no objection and turned back to Yue Wan and said, "Okay, you can go back and catch up on your sleep."
Yuewan was worried and pulled Su Rong's sleeve, "Miss, is this really okay?"
"Okay, mother won't tell you anything. There are guards here." Su Rong pushed her, "Go back!"
"Okay!" Yuewan nodded, turned around and went back.
Zhou Gu and Su Rong walked out together and came to the door. Zhou Gu still rode the red-maned horse that he rode. Su Rong asked someone to bring him a black horse with a black body. It was very tall and tall enough to compete with Zhou Gu.
The red-maned horses stand shoulder to shoulder.
Zhou Gu looked at her, "You ride such a tall and strong horse?"
Su Rong smiled at him, "My riding skills are pretty good."
Zhou looked her up and down, remembering her unique fishing skill yesterday that made his jaw drop. Without comment, he untied the horse's reins and turned on the horse. After he sat firmly, he saw that Su Rong didn't need help, and tugged on the horse's mane with her slender wrist.
, hugging the horse's neck, he actually got on the horse neatly. He was tsk-tsk in his heart. It seemed that he had misjudged his fiancée.
He deliberately tested her, "Can you race horses?"
Su Rong paused and said, "I know a little bit."
"After we leave the city, let's race horses." Zhou Gu tried his best to be honest about his understanding of her first meeting.
Su Rong agreed, "Okay."
Early in the morning in Jiangning County, it was the least crowded time of the day. No one was walking on the street. The guards were a short distance behind and they left the city smoothly.
When they arrived at Chengwai, Su Rong stretched out his hand to show Zhou Gu the way, "Ten miles along this official road, there is a fork on the left, leading directly to the foot of Fenghuang Mountain. There are stone tablets marking the fork at the intersection. It is easy to find. There are two in total.
More than ten miles."
"Okay!" Zhou Gu remembered and looked at Su Rong, "You really know how to race horses, right?"
Su Rong wondered whether this horse racing was like playing chess and wouldn't let him go, or whether it was like fishing, which was fast, ruthless and precise without sparing any effort. She frightened him again and again, would it scare him away?
?Not so good? Even if you don't cheat on the marriage, shouldn't you still let him slowly understand and accept it step by step?
"Show me your skills at playing chess and fishing." Zhou Gu was keenly aware of her entangled emotions and laughed angrily, "I grew up on a horse. I don't believe that I can't beat you in chess or lose in a horse race.
Here it is, don’t hide it.”
Su Rong immediately stopped thinking, "If I really show my ability, will you be scared away by me?"
Zhou Gu said disdainfully, "Who do you look down on?"
Su Rong felt relieved after hearing this and smiled brilliantly at him, "Okay, Zhou Gu, this is what you said, I won't be polite."
"Sure, you're welcome." Zhou Gu added, "You look light and airy. You don't know how to run on a horse and you were thrown away?"
"Who are you looking down on?" Su Rong used his words to retort to him, "I am light. I can lighten the weight of the horse, so the horse can run faster."
"Okay, let's start!" Zhou Gu was aroused with a desire to win.
So the two of them hit their horses at the same time and rushed out together.
Zhou Gucong can walk and ride a horse, Su Rong comes later, but while other children are playing in the mud, Su Rong has grown into a little trouble. She can play, and she must play well in everything.
Therefore, her equestrian skills are naturally good. At least, in the entire Jiangning County, she boasts that no one can match her.
But after all, Zhou Gu was born in the Duke Protector's Palace. The Duke Protector's Palace relied on his military service to achieve his illustrious family status. When Zhou Gu was born, the world was already at peace. Although the old Duke Protector did not let him join the army and asked him to serve as a scholar, he had family background.
, he has been hanging out with the guards of the Protector's Palace since he was a child, riding horses and shooting arrows. Because of his family's blood, he was born to be that material.
Therefore, when Zhou Gu competed with Su Rong in a horse race, he never thought that he could lose, and he certainly would not lose.
He had lost face while playing chess, and now he couldn't lose face anymore during the horse racing, so he decided not to give in at all, but when he actually let the horse run, he was surprised to find that Su Rong was only one horse behind him.
The two horses were walking forward in tandem. When they were approaching the foot of Fenghuang Mountain, Su Rong rolled his eyes and suddenly threw out the silk ribbon held by his arm, and violently entangled Zhou Gu's rear horse and retreated.
The horse under Zhou Gu paused for a moment. Su Rong slapped the horse's butt, and the big black horse she was riding jumped up and rushed forward.
Zhou Gu was shocked, he didn't expect Su Rong to be able to do this.
Su Rong arrived early, turned around, and laughed loudly at Zhou Gu, "Zhou Gu, you lose!"
The laughter is as sweet as silver bells.
Zhou Gu: "..."
He glared, "You are using tricks."
Su Rong was very calm, with a smile on her face, "I didn't say you couldn't use tricks."
Zhou Gu gritted his teeth. Is this because he was too upright? He laughed angrily. He stretched out his hand to pick up the silk ribbon tied to the horse's hind leg, "Who dares to marry you if you are so treacherous?"
