The houses in Dongsi Hutong are not big, and the lively voices in the front yard can be heard clearly in the back yard.
Su Rong yawned amidst the noisy crowd, "I'm sleepy."
Duan Hua was affected by her and yawned, "I'm sleepy too."
Then the two of them stopped talking in a tacit agreement and closed their eyes together. After a while, they both fell asleep.
The maid glanced along the crack of the door, then retracted her head and whispered to the maid brought by Duan Hua: "Both my young lady and your princess are asleep."
Qingzhi, the maid brought by Duan Hua, nodded, thinking that ever since she met Miss Su Qi, her princess had become a happy-go-lucky person. She came here to play with Miss Su Qi. Unexpectedly,
When she couldn't get out of bed, she would go to someone else's bed and fall asleep with them in broad daylight.
Qingzhi quietly waved to the maid, the maid. The maid, the maid, understood and went aside to talk to her.
The two of them hid in the corner. Qingzhi lowered his voice and said: "You are here to guard your young lady and my princess. Don't let the foreign man come in. I will go to the front yard and order the guards to send someone back to the house to send a message to the housekeeper of the princess house."
Send some people here on secondment for a few days. The princess is right, there are too few people to serve in this courtyard."
The maidservant nodded.
Qingzhi went immediately.
The butler of the Princess Mansion smiled and handed over to Su Xingze, "Old slave, on the order of my princess, I have dispatched a group of people to lend them to the mansion for a few days. Mr. Su, there is no need to be polite. You can give whatever instructions you want."
Chen Zhou was a little disappointed, "I thought I could see her today, but it seems she doesn't have time to see us."
Chenzhou is one of them, and Jiangxing is also one of them.
Su Xingze heard this and asked, "Do you want to apologize to Qimei?"
Su Xingze nodded.
Jiang Xing: "..."
Chen Zhou was shocked for a moment and asked again: "Have the Geng Tie been exchanged?"
Chen Zhou was shocked for a long time before he said: "It turns out it's all true."
Su Xingze nodded. Although he knew that the fundamental reason why Su Rong and Zhou Gu broke off their engagement was not because of Chen Zhou, he still did not decide for Su Rong whether to forgive him. "Today she can't get away, but she should be able to get away some other time. Someday
Just come back again."
"Do you have anything to say?" Su Xingze also saw that Chen Zhou liked to play with Su Rong since he was a child, but was always bullied by Su Rong.
Chen Zhou nodded.
I fell in love with her at a young age. She is such a lively, lovable and playful little girl. Even if she has a bad temper, she will be liked by many people.
He looked at Su Xingze and hesitated to speak.
The housekeeper of the Princess Mansion quickly sent a group of people, including cooks, maids, sweepers, purchasers, etc. The equipment was very complete. These people were personally brought to Dongxi Hutong by the housekeeper of the Princess Mansion.
Xie Mansion.
Su Xingze nodded again.
Su Xingze looked at him and asked, "What do you want from Qimei?"
When the housekeeper saw that Su Xingze wanted to entertain the students from Jiangzhou, he suggested with a smile, "These people brought by the old slave are all old people who can be used by the princess's house. They work quickly and act neatly. The weather is bright today."
It's still early, if Mr. Su allows the guests to have lunch, he can keep them busy. It's easy for them to prepare one or two tables."
Chen Zhou: "..."
Chen Zhou nodded, "That's all we can do."
Su Xingze lowered his voice and asked, "I heard someone said that Su Rong is the princess of Southern Chu? Is this... true?"
Chen Zhou's face suddenly showed an envious look, and he murmured in a low voice, "She is your sister, it's great."
So, he added, "The tokens have been exchanged."
When he was a child, he wanted his mother to give him a sister like Su Rong, but his mother said angrily that she couldn't have one. Later, he tried to steal Su Rong, but unfortunately she was beaten by Su Rong with punches and kicks.
From then on, I didn't dare to think of stealing her home again.
Chen Zhou was shocked. After a while, he asked again: "I also heard that after she broke off the marriage to Zhou Gu, she entered into an engagement with the second son of Nan Chu Ye Prime Minister's Mansion?"
Su Xingze originally wanted to take the students from Jiangzhou to a restaurant on the street for dinner, but considering that Su Rong and Duan Hua were in the mansion, he left and there would be no one to take care of them. Now the housekeeper of the princess mansion has sent them
This group of people happened to be useful and solved this problem for him, so he simply nodded and said, "Okay, let's make two tables. Thank you uncle for thinking about it for me."
They all looked at Su Xingze. Wasn't he the one who deserved to be caught the most?
Su Xingze smiled and said, "Because of my sister, all the governments are protecting me, so no one dares to catch me now."
However, Su Rong had already accepted Ye Guixue's tiger talisman of one hundred thousand troops, and also gave her hairpin to Ye Guixue, which was equivalent to an exchange of tokens.
Chen Zhou scratched his head and said with some difficulty: "When Zhou Gu went to Jiangning County, I said a lot of bad things about her in front of Zhou Gu, which made her very angry. At that time, I had selfish motives and didn't want her to marry.
To Zhou Gu, it was also because I suddenly learned that she was engaged, and I had just finished fighting with her at that time. There was an element of anger... I didn't expect that she would take the initiative to come to Beijing to break off the engagement with Zhou Gu later, and I didn't really think about it.
Destroy her marriage."
Su Xingze shook his head, "Never."
All the students chatted noisily for a while, and they were all talking about what they had heard about the results being released tomorrow. Only Chen Zhou pulled Su Xingze and asked, "Is Su Rong in the mansion today?"
Su Xingze turned his head and glanced at Jiang Xing and saw that he was sitting not far away. He did not ask him about Su Rong like Chen Zhou did, but obviously, he had heard about these things and should be aware of them.
Nine is inseparable from ten, it should all be true.
In the front yard, Su Xingze had just finished taking the medicine and was about to send someone to buy it. Students from Jiangzhou, led by Chen Zhou and Jiang, came to the door, and more than a dozen people came together. Since coming to Beijing, Su Xingze
After living in Dongsi Hutong for a few days, I moved to Shen Mansion. After the results were released, I went out to play with a group of students for two days. After that, I stayed with them every day and never saw each other again. Now I heard that the results will be released soon. These people
I was so nervous that I wanted to come and meet him together.
He suddenly remembered what Duan Hua said to him, reached out and patted Chen Zhou on the shoulder, reminding him, "It is said that it is very cruel to catch your son-in-law under the imperial examination list in Beijing. You and Jiang Xing are both among those who will be arrested. The examination list will be released tomorrow. If you don't want to
If you get caught, be careful!"
"No thanks, Mr. Su, let's entertain the guests first. I'll make arrangements for you here before I go back." The butler smiled, waved his hand, and led the people to the inner courtyard.
Su Xingze looked at him and stopped talking. He knew very well that a girl like Su Rong, although not valued by the ladies in Jiangning County, felt that there were no rules that a daughter's family should have, so she was not a good candidate for a daughter-in-law.
, but many of the princes from various provinces like her secretly.
Su Xingze nodded, "Seventh sister is indeed in the mansion, but she is receiving Princess Duanhua."
Su Xingze knew that this was what Su Rong agreed to, so he did not refuse and thanked him.
Su Xingze could only send someone to inform Su Rong, and he would first greet the students in Jiangzhou.
After Su Xingze heard about it, he quickly went out to meet people.
After the group left, Chen Zhou opened his eyes wide and asked Su Xingze, "Is this the housekeeper of Princess Qingping's mansion?"
There are seven-rank officials in front of the prime minister, and the housekeepers of the princess mansion also have ranks.
Su Xingze nodded. Seeing everyone looking at him, everyone was surprised. He simply explained, "Mother and six sisters came in a hurry, and none of the waiters were with them. Aunt Shen wanted to borrow someone, and mother looked at the Shen Mansion. There weren't many people waiting on me, so I declined. I didn't expect Princess Duanhua to come today. After learning about the situation in the mansion, she sent people back to the mansion to dispatch these people."
After he finished speaking, he looked at everyone's stunned expressions and smiled, "You all can stay in the house for lunch today!"
