Zhou Gu thought it was good to study for half a day, and Su Rong wouldn't be tired at all.
He turned to her and said, "Let's eat. If you are too tired and too lazy to move, can you let Yuewan feed you?"
The eldest lady thought about the good guy, and even said the words to feed him.
Su Taishou laughed, feeling very happy, and kept nodding his head, feeling that Zhou Gu was not very old, but he could care for others.
The aunts and concubines sighed inwardly, thinking that they really didn't realize that Young Master Zhou turned out to be a very caring person? It didn't look like he was cheating, and with his status, there was no need to pretend to feel sorry for Su Rong.
Only Su Xingze said calmly and calmly: "Su Rong, eat!"
Su Rong slowly picked up the chopsticks, turned to Zhou Gu with a tilted smile, and whispered softly, "Zhou Gu, you are so kind."
Zhou Gu's face turned red. He had never done such a small thing and interceded for someone in front of everyone. He was a little embarrassed for a moment and stopped saying anything.
After dinner, it was already dark, but because it was sixteenth and the moon was high, it illuminated the ground very brightly.
Su Rong asked Consultant Zhou, "Are you still going out tomorrow?"
Zhou Gudao: "Listening to Brother Su's arrangements, today is very interesting, quite rewarding, and I have benefited a lot."
Su Xingze heard this and said: "In that case, let's go to Wenhui Building tomorrow! Regarding the Golden Autumn Scientific Examination, there are gentlemen from the academy taking notes in Wenhui Building. Let's go and take a look tomorrow."
"Are you blatantly betting on the topic?" Zhou Gu had never heard of it before, so why not do this?
"Well, this is Jiangning's long-standing tradition, but I haven't won the bet for several times in a row." Su Xingze said, "It's just a matter of fun, so it doesn't hurt to go and have a look."
Zhou Gu nodded, and he just said, if the candidates were to win the test in public, how many candidates would stand out? The Taishan Beidou people who set the questions from the imperial court should have been unable to sit still and come to Jiangning.
Everyone left the front hall and walked to each courtyard. When they said goodbye at the fork in the road, Su Rong was a little reluctant to say goodbye to Zhou Gu. After all, they hadn't seen each other for a day. "Zhou Gu, are you tired? The moonlight is so beautiful.
Do you want to take a walk?”
Zhou Gu shook his head, "Take a walk? Aren't you tired?"
Su Rong pointed to her stomach, "Even if I'm tired, I still have to eat before going to bed."
Zhou Gu nodded, "Yes, then, let's take a walk!"
Su Xingze glanced at the two of them, turned around and left without stopping them.
The two of them walked along the waterside pavilion. Zhou Gu and Su Rong talked about who they had met with Su Xingze today, and especially commented on Jiang Xing, "If nothing else happens, your eldest brother can enter the first class, and Jiang Xing can enter the second class."
It’s definitely no problem, as for the other few, they should all be able to enter the top three.”
Su Rong nodded, "My eldest brother has always been very good. He studied with Uncle Xie. Two years ago, he was recruited by the president of Yunshan Academy.
Please go to Yunshan to help you study. Jiang Xing is also very good. Although he is a little behind my elder brother, his foundation is solid and his literary talent is spiritual. If he performs exceptionally, he may not be better."
Zhou Gu was surprised, "How do you know the basics so well?"
"Of course I know. I used to have no money to spend, so I stole my elder brother's poetry manuscripts and sold them for money. Later, Jiang Xing found out about it, and he also gave me his own poetry manuscripts to sell. In order to sell them at a high price, naturally
It took a lot of effort for the two of them to be so talented and famous now, especially my eldest brother, whose talent has spread far and wide, and it is partly because of my promotion."
Zhou Gu: "..."
He was speechless and wanted to tell Su Rong, you are really good.
Su Rong looked at his expression and guessed the inner curse in his heart, and said helplessly: "I can't help it. I only have so much money per month. My mother said she would save dowry for us when we were very young. We
Each sister earns two taels of silver a month. I love to go out and play. How can I do that with only two taels of silver? I have to find another way."
Zhou Gu commented, "Your new method is really ingenious. Didn't your elder brother beat you?"
Su Ronxiao said, "No, but after he found out, he sent guards to guard his study. It was more heavily guarded than my father's study."
Zhou Gu finally understood why there were so many guards in Su Xingze's study. He admired him very much, "You are also very powerful."
He looked at Su Rong, "How did Jiang Xing know? He was actually willing to help you with his own poem manuscript?"
"One time he met me in Wenhui Building. I was selling my elder brother's poetry manuscripts, and he bumped into me." Su Rong said that anyway, Chen Zhou brushed off so many things from her, and Zhou Gu didn't say anything to her.
She hated it, so she told him truthfully without any fear: "He was very shocked. Did he say that he was short of money? He actually asked me to come out to sell his poetry manuscripts. I shook my head and said no, no, no, you must not
Misunderstanding, my eldest brother is not short of money, it is me who is short of money."
Zhou Gu laughed, "So, how many poems have you sold?"
Su Rong scratched her head, "Just a dozen articles!"
In fact, there are dozens of articles.
Zhou Gu didn't believe it, "Really a dozen?"
Su Rong was helpless, "Okay, let me tell you the truth, there are dozens of articles."
"So much? How much money did it cost?" Zhou Gu was shocked.
"It can range from a hundred taels to a few dozen taels. I haven't calculated it in detail. He said he would repay my kindness for saving him from being chased by a vicious dog, so I wouldn't be polite."
Zhou Gu didn't know what to say, "You sold so much money, what did you do?"
Su Rong wanted to say that she had raised a lot of people, but she couldn't say that. She could only say: "Eat, drink and have fun."
Zhou Gu looked at Su Rong with an expression that said, "You are really good at making things." He asked her, "Are you still short of money now?"
"There is no shortage." Su Rong shook her head. The people she supported have become independent. Not only can they support themselves, but they can also make money to support her. The crow feeds back, and now she really has no shortage of money.
"Why is there no shortage now? You're not still selling Jiang Xing's poetry manuscripts, are you?"
"No, I stopped selling it two years ago." Su Rong shook her head and found an excuse and said, "My eldest brother subsidized me privately and gave me fifty taels of silver a month, so I don't need to sell poetry manuscripts."
Zhou Gu clicked his tongue, "Fifty taels of silver is quite a lot."
"Yes, my eldest brother is very powerful. He went to Yunshan Academy to study as a student, and he was able to earn a hundred taels a month. He gave me fifty taels." When Su Rong mentioned this, she felt that her eldest brother was unique.
Okay.
You know, ordinary people can't spend more than two taels of silver a month, but Su Xing gives her fifty taels of silver a month. The other sisters don't get this kind of treatment. When the eldest lady found out, she scolded Su angrily in private.
Xing Ze raised him so young, but he didn't show any respect to her as his mother. All the sisters were picked up, but Su Rong was his only one.
Su Xingze was so kind to her that even the eldest lady was jealous.
"Have you saved your dowry?" Zhou Gu suddenly asked.
"No." Su Rong shook her head, "I have been so good at making things over the years. I lost half of the dowry my mother saved for me. Now my mother is saving it for me again."
"How did you lose the dowry?" Zhou Gu was shocked, "Didn't I spend fifty taels of silver a month on you?"
