Chapter 332 Going in the opposite direction (second update)
Coming out of Yan Huisheng's east palace, Zhou Gu felt both relaxed and heavy.
What's easy is that he didn't expect Yan Huisheng to be able to manipulate him into agreeing to his thoughts and plans. What's sad is that, as Yan Huisheng said, as a descendant of the Protector's Palace, since his surname is Zhou, he cannot fall.
The lintel of the Protector's Mansion.
He didn't take a car or ride a horse, but walked all the way to the Protector's Palace by himself.
Halfway through, by chance, he met Ye Guixue's carriage returning to Duke Chengguo's Mansion. He took a look at the sky and saw that it was still early, so he stopped and stepped aside to wait for Ye Guixue's carriage to pass by.
Ye Guixue's carriage came closer. The driver reined in the horse and stopped. Inside the carriage, Ye Guixue lifted the curtain, stuck her head out, and greeted Zhou Gu, "Master Zhou."
Zhou Gu cupped his hands and said, "Young Master Ye."
Ye Guixue asked: "Why is Young Master Zhou walking alone?"
"I just came out of the East Palace and wanted to take a walk."
Ye Guixue nodded, looked at his thin clothes, and asked warmly: "The weather is too cold. It's cold in winter. I'm afraid Young Master Zhou's injury hasn't healed yet. You need to be more careful. This place is far away from the Duke Protector's Mansion."
There is still a long way to go, and you have walked this far from the East Palace to here, so why not get in the car now and let me take you back home?"
Zhou Gu looked at Ye Guixue, "How can we waste Young Master Ye's time? I can just walk slowly by myself."
Zhou Gu paused, surprised, "Brother is back? When did he come back? Where is he now?"
Zhou Wei asked: "Where do you plan to go first after leaving Beijing?"
Zhou Gu twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Thank you very much."
Zhou Wei nodded, "Do you know when the list will be released?"
Ye Guixue shook her head, "No delay."
Zhou Gu shook his head, "Young Master Ye sent me back."
Ye Guixue treated Zhou Gu like a friend and was very gentle, and asked him, "I heard that the scientific examination results will be released soon. The Fourth Young Master will definitely be on the list. Congratulations in advance."
It seemed like he wouldn't say anything else except thank you.
Zhou Gu didn't know what to say. He and Ye Guixue were destined not to be friends. He admired people like Ye Guixue, but because of Su Rong, he could only stop admiring him. He didn't even know that one day
, will he go to war with him? After all, he can't let go of Su Rong, and his status as Su Rong's fiancé now makes him jealous.
He stopped talking and said goodbye to Ye Guixue, "Thank you very much, Mr. Ye, for today. It's getting late, so I won't invite Mr. Ye into the house. I'll treat Mr. Ye to a drink some other day."
Zhou Gu was silent and did not mention that he did not intend to be the prince's assistant minister.
Zhou Gu nodded.
Zhou Wei suddenly laughed when he heard this, "Yes, I forgot. It's very dangerous outside. Mother is naturally worried about you. She has prepared manpower for you in advance and is thoughtful."
Therefore, when Zhou Wei saw Zhou Gu, he almost didn't recognize him, "Fourth brother?"
Ye Guixue nodded, "Today I had a discussion with Master Zhou, and I benefited a lot from it."
So Zhou Gu got on Ye Guixue's carriage.
The carriage was very comfortable and warm. Ye Guixue handed Zhou Gu a cup of hot tea, "Fourth Young Master, warm your hands."
"The eldest son came back before noon. He has already met the old prince and the eldest princess. Now they are waiting for you in your yard."
Zhou Wei agreed, "It's a good thing to go out for a walk. Logically speaking, you should have gone out for a walk a few years ago, but you have been stuck in the East Palace as the prince's companion. Although it is a little late now, you are not here for today.
It’s for the sake of becoming His Royal Highness the Crown Prince’s assistant minister in the future. The time is still long and it’s not too late.”
"Second Young Master Ye is humble, and I have also benefited a lot." Zhou Gu got off the carriage and did not enter the house immediately. Instead, he watched Ye Guixue's carriage leave until Ye Guixue's carriage left the end of the long street.
When there was no trace, he looked back and walked towards the house.
"What a coincidence." Zhou Gu didn't want to say anything more.
When he was given this name, he didn't really care at that time. Before he saw her, he wished he could take it off. Unexpectedly, one day, this name was given to him by someone else, and he cared so much that he wanted to go back and stab him.
The self that you don’t cherish.
After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Gu and said, "I heard from your sister-in-law that you are not feeling well lately?"
Zhou Gu smiled and said thanks, "Thank you so much, Mr. Ye."
Zhou Wei looked at his expression, but he didn't see that he was full of gloom as described by his imperial concubine. Apart from being thinner, he seemed to look pretty good. He felt relieved and said to him: "I heard what my grandfather said.
After the results of the scientific examination are released, do you plan to leave Beijing and travel?"
Zhou Gu hadn’t seen Zhou Gu for several months, but he was still very happy, “Brother.”
The housekeeper was stunned, "Why, how did you meet Mr. Ye?"
Ye Guixue was reading history books, and Zhou Gu was doing the same. Before he knew it, the long journey had been completed, and the carriage stopped at the gate of the Protector's Mansion. The driver's voice sounded, and Zhou Gu came back to his senses.
Zhou Wei nodded, "My grandfather sent someone to inform me a long time ago. He is training his troops diligently for fear that the Wei Dynasty will start a war. It has indeed been harder recently."
He sighed and stopped smiling, "Fourth brother, you have to be well. If something happens to you, my mother may not survive. When you go out, you must always remember that there are grandparents, mother and I at home waiting for you to come back."
Zhou Gu shook his head, "My mother has borrowed some people from the Cui clan in Qinghe. Brother, don't worry, it's enough."
Zhou Gu nodded, "It's convenient. I have admired the name of Second Young Master Ye for a long time, but I have never found an opportunity. I am lucky today."
Ye Guixue smiled and said, "Today I am discussing studies with Brother Xingze. Brother Xingze highly respects the talents and learning of the Fourth Young Master. There is still some distance to go. If it is convenient for the Fourth Young Master, I would like to discuss something with the Fourth Young Master."
Zhou Gu took it and thanked him again, "Thank you, Second Young Master Ye."
Zhou Wei was stunned, "So, you will leave Beijing in just a few days?"
"Yeah." Zhou Gu nodded.
Zhou Weidao: "It's so dangerous outside, and the guards around you may not be enough. Can I send you some people from my guards to take you away?"
Zhou Gu replied, "The scholar has already reviewed the papers and compiled the list. Your Majesty will read it tomorrow and release the list. It won't last more than a day or two."
So, the two of them went back and forth and discussed their studies.
Although Zhou Wei, the eldest son of the Duke Protector's Palace, and Zhou Gu were born from the same mother, he stayed in the military camp all year round, so his face was much tougher than Zhou Gu's, and his stature was almost stronger than Zhou Gu's, especially since Zhou Gu's appearance since Su Rong
After breaking off the engagement, I lost a lot of weight, and after being seriously injured, I became a bit weaker.
Zhou Wei was sure that it was Zhou Gu, and he frowned, "Why have you lost so much weight? I heard that you haven't recovered from your injury, so why did you run out of the house?"
The housekeeper greeted Zhou Gu, "Fourth Young Master, why did you send the carriage back so early? How did you come back? Did you really walk back?"
Zhou Guxiao said, "Very good."
Zhou Gu never thought that one day he would be jealous of Su Rong's status as fiancé.
"Nanping." Zhou Gu said.
The steward nodded and said to him: "The prince is back."
Zhou Gu shook his head, "My injury is no longer serious, and my elder brother seems to have lost weight. Is it because of the hard training recently?"
Zhou Gu nodded and strode towards his yard.
The driver turned the horse's head and walked towards the Protector's Palace.
Zhou Gu pursed his lips and said, "Brother, I know."
He knew that there were close relatives at home who were looking forward to his safe return, but he also knew that there was only one thing he could guarantee, which was to try his best to keep himself safe. As for returning home, he didn't know.
Because he was going to Nanchu, and he wanted to take root in Nanchu, which was contrary to their expectations.
Darlings, give me your monthly ticket, especially those who support Zhou Gu, do you understand?
