After Su Xingze left, Zhou Gu touched his chin and thought, if Su Xingze goes to Jinbang High School and joins the officialdom in the future, he will definitely be able to go smoothly. A person who is as cold as the moon, but thoughtful and thoughtful in everything, is really rare.
The prince would definitely be happy to have such a help from Dong Gong Su Xingze.
Thinking of the prince, Zhou Gu immediately called Zhou Xi and asked him: "Do you have any clues about the person the prince asked to find?"
Zhou Xi shook his head, "Young master, I don't have any clues. I've searched everywhere and there is no such person. Did the prince make a mistake? There is no matching fisherman."
Zhou Gu frowned, "Expand the scope and continue searching."
Zhou Xi nodded, "We can only turn the entire Jiangning County over. Will it make too much noise? If it attracts attention, it will deviate from the original intention of His Highness the Crown Prince."
Zhou Gu thought about it and made a decision, "In this way, we will still conduct the secret investigation as before, but the scope will be expanded. I will write a letter to the prince and ask him what he means."
Zhou Xi nodded, "That's good. Although Jiangning is a small place, if you really find someone with no name or surname, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack. There's no rush."
Zhou Gu nodded.
Su Rong was very happy when she heard that she no longer had to learn the rules, and that Zhou Gu no longer had to be accompanied by Su Xingze, and planned to go find Zhou Gu.
She walked out of the door, came back, and asked Yuewan: "Did you send the watermelon that Uncle Xie sent to Zhou Gu?"
"Give it away!" Yue Wan didn't know, "Young Master Zhou is a distinguished guest of our house. If he has something good, it's impossible for the eldest lady not to give it to him."
"That's true. But there are so many guards in his yard that they may all be eaten." Su Rong told Yue Wan, "You go to the cellar and bring up a watermelon. I'll carry it to find Zhou Gu."
Yue Wan nodded and turned around.
Not long after, Yuewan held out a watermelon and said, "Miss, do you want a slave to accompany you?"
"No need." Su Rong took the watermelon and carried it away.
Zhou Gu was waiting for Su Rong to come. After waiting for a while, she still didn't come. He was confused, so he took a book and lay lazily on the recliner, reading and waiting.
Just after reading two pages, someone reported, "Sir, Miss Seven is here!"
Zhou Gu immediately raised his head from behind the book and looked out the window. He saw Su Rong holding a big watermelon on her slender wrist. The big watermelon looked like it weighed more than ten kilograms, but she walked very easily without any difficulty.
Zhou Gu thought of the first time he met her, and was afraid that she would be blown down by a gust of wind. At that time, he thought about all sorts of things and thought she was too weak. He was too naive.
He put down the book, walked to the door, and looked at Su Rong, "What are you..."
Su Rong felt that his look of a laid-back young man really dazzled her eyes. He was so handsome. She squinted her eyes and said, "I heard that you didn't leave the house today, so I came here to find you." She weighed the money in her hand.
Watermelon, "Eat watermelon together."
Zhou Gu thought that since he was a child, he had never seen any girl holding a big watermelon and saying, "Let's eat watermelon together!" He silently opened the door and invited her to come in.
Su Rong entered the house and at the same time ordered a boy sweeping the yard, "Go get a knife and two spoons."
The boy agreed and went immediately.
"The knife is used to cut watermelon, but what is the spoon used for?" Zhou Gu wondered.
"You'll know in a moment." Su Rong put the watermelon on the table and rubbed her wrist, "The watermelon that Uncle Xie brought back two days ago is very sweet. Mother sent someone to bring it to you, right? Have you tasted it?
?”
Zhou Gu nodded, "I tasted it, it's very sweet."
The boy quickly brought a knife and two spoons.
Su Rong personally wielded the knife and cut the watermelon in two with a neat technique. Then he put down the knife and inserted two spoons into the watermelon flesh. Half of them were pushed to Zhou Gu and half were left for himself. Under Zhou Gu's doubts,
She held half of the watermelon and took a big bite with a spoon. "Here, that's it, eat it!"
Zhou Gu was stunned.
Watermelons are rare in the capital. Every year when the season comes, they are transported to the capital from afar. The price of a watermelon is ten taels of silver, and sometimes it goes up to twenty taels of silver each. Ordinary people cannot afford it.
Of course, the Duke's Mansion does not have this burden. There is a constant supply of fruits and melons all year round. No matter how expensive they are, everyone can afford them. Needless to say, the East Palace, Zhou Gu never lacks for fresh fruits and melons.
In the past, when he ate watermelon, he would cut it into crescent shapes and eat it, or cut it into small pieces on a plate and eat it with bamboo sticks. This was the first time he saw Su Rong eating it in such a bold way.
"Are you intimidated by me?" Seeing Zhou Gu not moving for a long time, Su Rong seriously recommended it to him, "This is really delicious. You will know after you try it."
Zhou Gu was in a complicated mood, "This watermelon weighs ten kilograms, right? You and I each have half of it. If we eat it this way, it means five kilograms per person..."
He wanted to say that he didn't have such a big appetite.
What is the concept of five pounds?
Even though Zhou Gu could eat it himself, looking at Su Rong's slender figure, he doubted whether she could eat it. If she wouldn't eat some, would she throw away the rest? That would be too wasteful.
"Oh, isn't there another day? I can definitely finish it, and I don't need to drink water today." Su Rong took another spoonful and was satisfied with the meal. "It's still refreshing to eat the watermelon brought out from the cellar while it was chilled.
To relieve the heat. Jiangning also produces watermelon, but it was out of the market a month ago. Uncle Xie knew that I like to eat this, so he brought it back specially because it grows on the hillside and has ample sunshine, so it is much sweeter than the one that grows in the depressions of Jiangning.
"
Zhou Gu reluctantly nodded. Seeing that Su Rong was enjoying the food, he imitated her, took a spoonful and ate it into his mouth. He suddenly felt cool and sweet. He took another spoonful and ate three spoonfuls in a row.
, then said to Su Rong: "This way of eating seems very refreshing."
Su Rongle, "That's natural, the water will not be lost."
Zhou Gu looked at her bright smile, rolled his eyes, and ate silently for a while, thinking to himself that Su Rong seemed to be very good at eating. She could eat anything in front of her in different ways. She didn't know where it came from.
The ideas I learned are so weird.
Zhou Xi came to Zhou Gu with a letter. He looked over and saw two people sitting across from each other, talking and laughing. One of them had a half-hollowed watermelon in front of him. He was so surprised that he thought about not disturbing him.
, he came back after a while, and just as he was about to turn around, Zhou Gu saw him and asked him, "What's the matter?"
Zhou Xi could only turn her head again, smile and hold her hands in her hands, "Miss Seventh!"
Su Rong smiled back and nodded at Zhou Xi.
Zhou Xi then said to Zhou Gu: "Young Master, it is the Crown Prince who has written this letter."
