Baihua Nong is a good wine, but Xie Lin's drinking capacity is average. After one jar of wine, he was already a little drunk.
Zhou Gu's idea was to make Xie Lin drunk, so he took the opportunity to say, "Does your mother feel relieved that you have run so far away? You are actually allowed to come to such a far place."
Xie Linxun leaned on the soft bed with a sigh of relief and shook his head, "Of course I don't feel relieved. I tortured her for a long time before she reluctantly agreed."
"What are you doing here?" Zhou Gu looked at him, "You're here because I'm here? I mean, brother, you're chasing after me. Isn't that unlike you?"
Xie Lin glared at him and said, "You keep saying how good Jiangning County is, and I wanted to come and have a look. I was bored in the capital, so I came here."
"Wrong, I kept saying that my fiancée is good." Zhou Gu corrected him.
"Aren't they all the same? I'm here to meet your fiancée and see what kind of woman makes you so attracted. One moment, he was fighting for Qin Luan with me, and the next moment, he couldn't wait to come to Jiangning to see his fiancée." Xie Lin
Pressing his forehead, "Besides, didn't Duan Hua come after Jiang Ning? I just thought about coming too..."
Zhou Gu understood, he was just here to watch the fun, and said angrily: "Duanhua didn't come."
Xie Lin nodded, "I know. I saw Duanhua on the way. She was stopped by your people on the way. She was so angry that she cried. The guards of Princess Qingping Mansion persuaded her to return to Beijing, but she would not go back alive or dead.
, said that if you don't let her come, she will wait for you where you are. Anyway, you have to return to Beijing sooner or later, and she will wait for you on the road."
Zhou Gu was confused, "Princess Qingping doesn't care about her?"
Xie Lin shook his head, "I can't control it! I've been spoiled for a long time."
Zhou Gu held his breath, "I'm so annoyed."
Xie Lin was happy, shaking his head, "You can't beat me, scold me, kill me, or chase me away. You provoked Duan Hua. I see the look on her face, I'm afraid she won't just let it go, even if you have a fiancée."
, but how dare your fiancée, who comes from a small family, dare to confront Duanhua? Don’t let her see your fiancée one day and bully her to death."
"Who provoked her?" Zhou Gu looked ugly.
"Yes, yes, you didn't take the initiative to provoke me, but you have such a face, which is wrong."
I'm going crazy. Do you know why you haven't met a girl who throws a handkerchief or purse to you in the past two years when you go out on the street? In the past years, you often encountered this kind of thing, which was very annoying, but this time
It’s been two years since I met a little girl. She would stay away from you and peek at you, but she wouldn’t dare to get close. Why? Haven’t you ever thought about it? "
"Why?"
Zhou Gu thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this was really the case. Xie Lin didn't say anything, and he hadn't noticed it yet.
Xie Lin told the truth, "Because you invited me to drink such a nice drink today, I will tell you! That's because Duanhua has warned all the little girls who like you openly and secretly, and even more
In fact, some people were killed by her, either because they bullied their whole family and moved out of the capital, or they quickly got married. Those with better family backgrounds also behaved themselves with their tails between their legs, and did not dare to show their love for you in front of Duan Hua.
"
Zhou Gu really didn't know about this, and no one told him, so he was immediately disgusted.
"So, don't blame me for not reminding you, Duanhua woman, even if you stop her from coming now, it will be useless unless you protect your fiancée tightly and don't let her seize the opportunity. Otherwise, sooner or later, she will not be able to come here.
You will have to take revenge on your fiancée for blocking her from coming to Jiangning." Xie Lin said, he also shuddered and tutted, "Hey, I really can't bear the kindness of such a beauty. Fortunately, I don't have to.
Bear with her."
He looked at Zhou Gu with pity, "I doubt that a delicate and delicate girl like your fiancée can withstand Duanhua's torment? If you really want to protect someone, you'd better marry someone into the family early, but even if you marry into the family,
In fact, it's not safe either. Duanhua bullies people based on her status, not just for a day or two, but His Majesty is her biological uncle."
He sat up straight and went to get the wine bottle again, tutting, "Hey, Zhou Gu, you are so pitiful to be entangled with such a woman."
Angry, Zhou Gu reached out and slapped his hand away, saying angrily, "You are pitiful! Stop drinking. Aren't you going to be a guest at the prefect's mansion? How can you get there if you drink too much? It will be embarrassing and I won't care about you."
Xie Lin withdrew his hand and said, "That's right. I won't drink anymore. I have to take a nap."
He tilted his head and fell asleep.
Zhou Gu: "..."
I really want to get him a woman to sleep with, and when he wakes up, she will also pester him to see who is more pitiful.
Xie Lin slept for an hour. When he woke up, the setting sun was shining through the window. He muttered, "It's so late." Then he sat up and looked at Zhou Gu, who was sitting on a chair reading a book.
The room was very quiet. Zhou Gu held a book in his hand and read it leisurely.
Xie Lin asked him, "What are you looking at?"
""Historical Records"."
Xie Lin didn't believe it. There was also "Historical Records" in Zuihua Tower? He looked around closely and turned around to look. Sure enough, it was "Historical Records". He was shocked, "Where did it come from?"
"Get it from the landlord."
Xie Lin sighed, "The standards of this brothel are quite high."
Zhou Gu put down the book in his hand and stood up, "Now that you're awake, let's go!"
Xie Lin nodded, patted the wrinkles on his robe, raised his arms and smelled his sleeves. He smelled of alcohol, and followed Zhou Gu, "You have to accompany me back to the inn to change into some clothes. I'll go to someone else's house to be a guest."
You can't look so sloppy."
Zhou Gu turned around and glanced at him, "No one is looking at you."
"Impossible!" Xie Lincai didn't believe it. "It's still early. You go with me. I can't come in empty-handed and eat and drink for free. I need to give you a gift, right?"
Zhou Gu lost his opinion when he heard this, "Okay!"
We really can’t let this guy eat and drink for free. Since he is willing to spend money, let’s give it to him!
The two left the room and walked the same way until they came to Yuniang's window. Zhou Gu stopped and knocked on the window three more times. There was no movement inside. However, a man walked out of the next room and saluted Zhou Gu, "Little Zhou."
Young Master, the landlord has told me, just leave!"
Zhou Gu nodded when he heard this, "In that case, let me inform your host and say thank you very much."
The man nodded.
Zhou Gu led Xie Lin out of Zuihua Tower.
After climbing over the wall and reaching the outside, Xie Lincai pulled Zhou Gu and asked in a low voice, "Zhou Gu, you can do it. How long have you been here in Jiangning? You're even familiar with brothels."
Zhou Gu didn't even explain, "Hurry up and leave, no need to waste words!"
Xie Lin pouted.
Arriving at the inn where Xie Lin was staying, Xie Lin quickly changed his clothes and brought a portion of wild ginseng as a gift. Zhou Gu took him to the prefect's mansion.
By this time, the sun had set, and dinner was ready in the kitchen of the Prefect's Mansion.
Seeing that the person hadn't come back yet, the eldest lady asked Su Xingze, "Why don't you send someone to look for him? Why haven't you come back yet?"
Su Xingze took a look at the sky and shook his head, "Wait a minute, since Seventh Sister has invited me and Young Prince Xie has agreed, he will definitely come."
The eldest lady nodded, "Then wait a little longer!"
After waiting for about half an hour, someone came to report that Mr. Zhou was back and had brought Mr. Xie. The eldest lady straightened her clothes and asked Su Xingze to rush to greet him.
The young prince of Ruian Prince's Palace has the same status as Zhou Gu of the First-Class Protector's Palace. They are all distinguished guests. As an elder, she doesn't need to be too flattering to greet him, but Su Xing goes to greet him, so there is no problem. It is to entertain guests.
way.
Before Xie Lin came to Jiangning, he knew a lot about Jiangning County, especially the people in the Jiangning Prefecture, especially Su Xingze, whose talent was well-known. When they heard that he was going to take the scientific examination in the golden autumn, many people took him to high school.
Now that he met Su Xingze and talked to him a few words, he felt that his reputation was indeed well-deserved and should not be underestimated.
He secretly patted Zhou Gu on the shoulder and whispered to him, "Zhou Gu, your uncle is very powerful."
Zhou Gu snorted. Of course he had learned the lesson a long time ago. In his words?
Governor Su and Madam Su were very enthusiastic. Xie Lin was brought into the mansion by Zhou Gu and immediately sat down at the table.
During the dinner, Xie Lin was constantly asked to eat. Xie Lin looked at the large family sitting there, looking very harmonious, and thought that this Jiangning Prefecture seemed very different from other mansions. Other mansions, this is home.
It is impossible for the aunts and concubines to eat together at the same table if there are distinguished guests. Not only that, the men and women in the family sit at separate tables. It is absolutely impossible for such a big and bustling table to make people sit down.
It feels like everyone in the family has equal status.
And Zhou Gu seemed to be accustomed to strange things and was very accustomed to it.
Xie Lin was not used to it, especially since there were many female dependents and few male dependents, which made him feel a little reserved.
Su Taishou smiled and patted Xie Lin on the shoulder, "Nephew, relax. You are Nephew Zhou's brother, and you are also a member of the family. There is no need to be formal and polite."
The eldest lady took a piece of fish to Xie Lin with serving chopsticks and said enthusiastically: "Xie Xianxian, try this fish. Our water quality in Jiangning is good, is the fish we produce also delicious?"
Xie Lin nodded repeatedly. When he was in the capital, he had been to many people's houses as guests, but nothing like the great and special hospitality he received when he came to the Prefect's Mansion. This kind of enthusiasm would not make people feel uncomfortable and fawning, but would make people feel sincere and hospitable.
So, amidst such warm hospitality, after finishing the meal, Xie Lin found that he was full.
