Xie Lin had already seen Zhou Gu. Next to him was a slender woman with good looks and fair skin. Zhou Gu was walking side by side with her, the two of them were very close to each other.
, talking about something, talking and laughing.
Xie Lin was shocked. Which woman had Zhou Gu been close to since he was a child? Even if he was with Qin Luan, before the Qin family was convicted, there was still room for two people standing together to talk. Not to mention the other women, could they?
He doesn't talk when he speaks, and he doesn't provoke anyone if he can't. He probably knows that he has such a face, and coupled with his identity, he has attracted girls since he was a child. Therefore, he has always kept away from girls.
He doesn't bully or get close, he stays as far away as he can, and avoids when he can. Unlike now, when he and the girl are walking side by side, their clothes can brush together, and there is really no distance between them.
Xie Lin originally had doubts about what Zhou Gu said about his fiancée when he left Beijing. He suspected that Zhou Gu was deliberately showing off to him. He didn't know what he was thinking. He guessed that it was because he was afraid of him because he had a concubine.
His fiancée was laughed at by him? Why did he spare no effort to praise his fiancée? How could he think it was possible? After all, he and Zhou Gu had known each other since they were children.
He was beaten by the old protector of the country because he fought for Qin Luan with him, but he didn't get it in the end. He felt that he had lost face and was very embarrassed. He suffocated in the mansion for many days, and he didn't leave the mansion even after he recovered.
Same as him.
Now that Xie Lin had seen it with his own eyes, he was unsure for a moment, wondering if he had thought Zhou Gu wrong? He walked up to Zhou Gu and came to him and Su Rong, "You said Jiang Ning is good, I'll come and take a look too."
.", he looked at Su Rong, "This girl is..."
Zhou Gu stood up straight and introduced, "This is my fiancée, Su Rong. I told you before leaving Beijing."
Xie Lin thought to himself that she was indeed Zhou Gu's fiancée, the concubine born to the seventh aunt of Su's mansion. Su Rong is now in Jiangning, but she is already very famous in the capital, because now everyone knows that Zhou Gu has a Jiangning prefect.
The fiancée of the house is still a concubine. I have to say that it shocked countless people. They all privately disliked it. They felt that this marriage contract was an evil sect that could not be broken down. The two worlds were so different. Protecting the country
There hasn't been a trace of news from the government in recent years, so it's possible that the inside story is disgraceful and will become obsolete sooner or later.
But seeing Zhou Gu acting like this, he was very doubtful. Is this marriage a dirty deal? She is just a fiancée now, but they are so close to her.
Xie Lin looked at Su Rong carefully. She was far away just now, but now she was close. He was surprised by her appearance and temperament. It was very different from the submissive and petty appearance of the concubine he imagined in the backyard of the prefecture. She stood calmly and calmly.
Zhou Gu looked around him and looked at him at the same time. His eyes were neither timid nor curious, just gentle and indifferent.
This kind of temperament is not inferior to that of all the ladies in the capital.
I really didn't expect that the small prefect's house in Jiangning County would raise such a girl. No wonder Zhou Gu showed off to him. He didn't want to admit at all that although Qin Luan also had this temperament, in terms of appearance, he was inferior to Su Rong.
In addition, before the Qin family was convicted, Qin Luan's eyes were not as calm as Su Rong's in front of young masters like them. He just looked at people and did not dodge or avoid them. He seemed to have no thoughts at all and was very clear.
Xie Lin suppressed his thoughts and raised his hand to Su Rongyi, "Miss Su Qi, I'm Xie Lin from the Ruian Palace."
Su Rong was also surprised. She didn't expect that Zhou Gu and Xie Lin seemed to have a good relationship. She didn't expect them to fight to the death when they met. Especially Zhou Gu, who was too enthusiastic when he met Xie Lin.
Is that right? And the person Xie Linxian called Zhou Gu didn’t seem to be so bitter or grudge against Zhou Gu, and he was also very friendly?
Su Rong didn't quite understand the relationship between men after fighting. At least after her fight with Chen Zhou, she still disliked him. She felt her forehead hurt and wanted to beat him again.
She smiled and nodded, "Hello, Mr. Xie. I heard Brother Zhou mention Mr. Xie and said that you have a good friendship. I didn't expect that you would also come to Jiangning."
Xie Lin was almost confused by Su Rong's words about Brother Zhou. He still remembered that when he was a child, a young girl from the Protector's family called Brother Zhou Gu. Zhou Gu immediately fell out with him and warned him with a dark face.
He was not allowed to shout. He disliked the unpleasant sound and asked people to call his name. Unexpectedly, after many years, someone shouted his name again, and he still looked proud and very happy, without any trace of displeasure.
This is really thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. Zhou Gu also has this day. Is this the special treatment for his fiancée?
Xie Lin wanted to say, "Who has a good friendship with him?", but looking at Su Rong's friendly smile, he naturally couldn't say this and just nodded, "It's boring to stay in the capital, so I went out for a walk.
I just arrived in Jiangning an hour ago."
He looked at Zhou Gu, "I finished settling in and went out for a walk, and unexpectedly I met you. I'm staying at the Bafang Inn. Where have you been staying since you've been here for so many days?"
Zhou Gu said reservedly: "Of course I live in the prefect's mansion. Uncle Su and Aunt Su are too enthusiastic. I can't resist their hospitality and disrespect, so I have no choice but to obey them."
Xie Lin: "..."
He shouldn't ask, he doesn't have parents-in-law who can live in someone else's home and be warmly entertained.
Zhou Gu invited Xie Lin, "We are going to Jinxiufang, are you coming with us?"
"Isn't Jinxiufang a place where clothes are sold? What is there to do?" Xie Lin looked at him, and when he caught sight of Su Rong from the corner of his eye, he suddenly asked, "You want to accompany Miss Su Qi to buy clothes?"
"No, she went shopping with me." Zhou Gu was afraid that Xie Lin wouldn't go, "You follow me to buy clothes. After buying the clothes, I will accompany you to go shopping in Jiangning. After coming here for so many days, I have gone everywhere.
I can be a guide for you."
Xie Lin was not familiar with the place in Jiangning. He originally came here because of Zhou Gu. He was also curious to come and have a look so as not to be bored in the capital. Now that he heard what he said, he naturally had no objection, "Sure!"
Zhou Gu made up his mind and was very happy when Xie Lin agreed.
Su Rong naturally didn't know Zhou Gu's dark thoughts. She just felt that Zhou Gu seemed a little overjoyed to see Xie Lin. Could this be the sequelae of the fight? Or was the relationship between the two always so good? My best friend has not seen him for many days. If
It was three autumns ago? So that’s why you showed such emotion after meeting each other?
That's not right. After all, when Zhou Gu saw Xie Lin from the window at Zui'e Fang, he was not very happy either.
Xie Lin also noticed it and felt that Zhou Gu was probably mentally ill. He was probably beaten by his grandfather after he robbed Qin Luan that day, because when he met him on the day he left Beijing, he was also very enthusiastic and took the initiative to reconcile.
, and now she is extremely friendly to him. The two of them have never had such a friendship as if they were brothers when they were young.
He guessed that he really liked this fiancée? So, people are in high spirits when happy events happen? Everyone they meet is like a relative?
The three of them soon arrived at Jinxiu Pavilion.
Jinxiu Pavilion is also half of Su Rong's property, so when she entered Jinxiu Pavilion, the shopkeeper immediately greeted her with a smile, "Miss Qi, you haven't been here for a while."
Su Rong smiled and said: "My mother taught me how to run a household, so I don't have time to come here?"
The shopkeeper also heard some rumors that Su Rong was being detained and learned some rules. He smiled and said: "You don't have time, so don't worry. Just send someone to inform you, and I will send someone to send the cloth pattern to the house for you."
Well, why bother going there in person?"
"I have enough clothes. Today I'm here to make a batch of clothes for my fiancé. He didn't bring many clothes with him when he came to Jiangning." Su Rong stretched out his hand and pulled Zhou Gu in front of him, "The fine fabrics,
Just choose... choose ten types and make ten sets."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Zhou Gu, "Ten sets should be enough, right?"
Zhou Gu was silent for a moment, "...that's enough."
In fact, he wanted to say too much, but Xie Lin was watching from the side, so he still didn't say anything.
Su Rong nodded and said to the shopkeeper: "Just ten sets."
The shopkeeper looked Zhou Gu up and down, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face, "Young Master Zhou and Miss Seven are a perfect match. They are both talented and beautiful."
Zhou Gu covered his lips and coughed, but did not refute this.
Su Rong smiled and nodded, "Everyone says so."
The shopkeeper's eyes flashed slightly, and he asked with a smile: "Young Master Zhou is good-looking, and he looks better than others when wearing ordinary fabrics. However, a batch of top-quality materials arrived last night, which are comparable to imperial offerings and cannot be worn by ordinary people.
But Mr. Zhou can wear it well, Miss Qi, you see..."
Zhou Gu immediately said: "I want ordinary ingredients."
Su Rong spoke almost at the same time as him: "I want this batch of new materials you mentioned."
Zhou Gu turned to look at Su Rong.
Su Rong said softly, "Brother Zhou, listen to me."
Zhou Gu: "..."
He glanced at Xie Lin from the corner of his eye and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Seeing that he no longer objected, Su Rong smiled and said to the shopkeeper: "Move them all to the counter and I will choose."
"Okay." The shopkeeper responded, turned around and gave instructions to the boy.
