The eldest lady could tell by looking at her expression that she was reluctant to part with him. It wasn't because she praised him, but because of Zhou Gu's appearance and character, he searched all over the world with a lantern, but couldn't find many like him. Su Rongruo really married him, and she was the only one who picked him up.
A treasure has arrived.
If Zhou Gu was not good, how could this cold-hearted and evil girl walk with him in the garden around the waterside pavilion every day at night?
She snorted coldly, "Then learn from it. Don't count on others. Count on pigs, and pigs will run away. Count on people, and people will fall. It's better to rely on heaven and earth than to rely on yourself. Only then can you live a harmonious and beautiful life."
Su Rong sighed, "Okay!"
It was really difficult to get married, and it seemed to be quite difficult to live a life. She had to deal with so many things by herself, which made her not want to get married anymore.
On this day, the Su Mansion became quiet until the evening.
After Su Rong returned to Dongkua Courtyard, she lay down on the bed and didn't even want to go to the front hall to have dinner. She told Yuewan, "I'm so tired. Go ahead and tell me. I won't go to the front hall to have dinner."
It’s time to eat. Let me have the food delivered to me.”
Yuewan nodded and left Dongyuan.
The eldest lady laughed angrily when she heard this, "This day is not a normal day. She just accompanied me to pick up and drop off some people, and she couldn't bear it." She said angrily to Su Taishou, "Look at your good daughter, she is really half-hearted.
I can’t stand it even if I’m tired.”
Su Taishou smiled and said, "It's not that she can't stand the slightest bit of tiredness, it's that she doesn't want to be tired. She can't stand the slightest bit of tiredness."
The eldest lady had no choice but to say, "Okay, let someone bring the food to her." After she gave the order, she remembered something and looked at Zhou Gu, "Um, nephew Zhou Xian, it's boring for Xiao Qi to eat alone.
Why don't you go and eat with her?"
Zhou Gu was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement, "That's fine."
He also wanted to see how tired she was, and she didn't even want to walk here. He had been in Jiangning for so many years, but he had never seen her absent due to tiredness.
The eldest lady was very happy when he agreed, "You haven't been to the place where Xiao Qi lives yet, have you? Yue Wan leads the way. Walk carefully and don't spill the food."
Yuewan agreed crisply, "Madam, don't worry!"
She is not good at anything else, but walking is the most stable thing.
So, Zhou Gu left the table, and together with Yue Wan, they carried the food and went to Dongyao to accompany Su Rong.
Xie Lin watched Zhou Gu leave, and felt inwardly. If this had been the case in the past, how could Zhou Gu go out of his way to accompany a girl to dinner? And even enter her boudoir. Sure enough, things are different now.
When Zhou Gu came to Dongyuan, he found that although the courtyard was not big, it was very exquisitely decorated, with flowers, plants, and trees everywhere. It didn't look like a place in the prefect's mansion.
During the days he lived in the Prefect's Mansion, he found that everything in the Prefect's Mansion was simple, even the living room where guests were received and dropped off daily was as simple. He thought that everything in the Prefect's Mansion was like this, but he didn't expect that the place where Su Rong lived was actually exquisite and even...
It's said to be luxurious.
Su Rong was favored in the prefect's mansion. It can be said that from her hair to the tips of her toes, she showed an attitude that could walk sideways.
Before Yue Wan could reach the door of the house, she shouted loudly, "Miss, Young Master Zhou is coming with you to have dinner."
Su Rong was about to fall asleep after a while. Hearing Yuewan's shout, he was stunned and sat up from his lying body, "What?"
Yuewan repeated it loudly again.
Su Rong heard clearly this time, was stunned for a while, immediately got out of bed, and walked out of the room. Sure enough, Jian Yue bent her head and carried the food box to lead the way, followed by Zhou Gu. She looked at Zhou Gu in confusion, thinking about them
The relationship between the two has not reached this level yet, right? Why didn't he go to the front hall to have a meal, and he couldn't see her, so he came to accompany her?
It wasn't that Su Rong thought too much, it was actually Zhou Gu who never showed any affection for her fiancée from the beginning to the end. At most, he just didn't resist.
Seeing her puzzled expression, Zhou Gu covered his lips and coughed, saying somewhat unnaturally: "Aunt Su said you were bored eating alone, so she asked me to come over and accompany you."
The implication is that I didn't come here on my own initiative.
Su Rong was stunned, she just said, how could Zhou Gu come to stay with her just because he couldn't see her for a meal? It turned out to be her mother's credit. She probably said a lot of words to persuade Zhou Gu.
Although he didn't come on his own initiative, she was still a little happy. She opened the door and said with a smile: "It's really boring. Thank you Brother Zhou for coming to accompany me."
Zhou Gu was already used to calling her this name. He glanced at her and followed her into the painting hall without saying anything.
The scenery in the yard is already exquisite enough, but when you enter the house, you find that the house is twice as exquisite.
Su Rong saw him looking at the furnishings in the painting hall and invited him, "Would you like to come into my room and have a look?"
Zhou Gu: "..."
He has not yet entered the girl's boudoir, but coming to this main room is already an exception. Although they are an unmarried couple now, they only have a marriage contract and it has not been thoroughly discussed and finalized by the elders. How can he enter her inner room?
Zhou Gu glanced at Su Rong but didn't answer. He walked to the table and sat down. The meaning was self-evident.
Su Rong smiled at him, "You've come here and you've sat here. If it's against the rules, it's already against the rules. The only person in this room except Yue Wan is me. Even if you're curious and visit my house, you won't be able to do it."
People know.”
Zhou Gu looked at her smile and thought that since he came to Jiangning, every thing she did to him contained some kind of temptation, such as playing chess, horse racing, borrowing his hand for revenge, and taking him to the third floor.
She also gave him clothes. He didn't believe that she didn't test him at all in Jinxiu Pavilion yesterday. So now, inviting him to her inner room might be another kind of test?
He sat still and asked her, "Aren't you tired? I see you are in good spirits."
"It's because I'm tired. Before you came, I was about to fall asleep in bed. As soon as you came, I felt better." Su Rong asked, "You really don't want to come into my house and take a look? I'll go to the yard."
When I was seven years old, a fire burned it, and now it is no longer visible. I may accidentally knock over the candlestick in this courtyard one day, and when you come back next time I don’t know when, you may not be able to see it even if you want to."
This was really possible. After all, the person who wanted to kill her hadn't given up yet, and one day he broke in and killed her again. She didn't want to make a big fuss over human life, so she had no choice but to set fire to it and lose money to eliminate the disaster.
Zhou Guzheng was wondering if she had ulterior motives, then he was stunned when he heard what she said, "Go to the next yard?"
Su Rong nodded and prepared to fight with others. When he came back tired, he accidentally knocked over the candlestick. The fire started due to the wind and burned the whole yard. After saying this, he tempted Zhou Gu, "So, Brother Zhou, are you sure?"
Won’t you take a tour of my house?”
Zhou Gu paused for a while, then shook his head, "It's against the rules, next time!"
Su Rong looked at him.
Zhou Gu was silent and then added, "Protect your house."
A gentleman should maintain his integrity. Even if no one knows about it, he cannot do things that are not allowed to be done.
This is what Zhou Gu has been taught since he was a child.
Since coming to Jiangning, he has broken many of the etiquette norms he learned since childhood, but no matter how he breaks it, he still dare not go too far when it comes to Su Rong, his fiancé.
For example, she asked him to hug her. Another example, she asked him to enter her inner room.
Seeing that Zhou Gu was determined not to enter the room, Su Rong no longer insisted. Instead, she sat down and leaned on the table, waiting for Yue Wan to set the meal. But thinking in her heart, she generously accepted the clothes she gave her, but stopped.
Outside of her inner room, Zhou Gu showed his own rules from the inside out.
This person, from the Duke Protector's Mansion to the Study Room and then to the East Palace, has grown up to this day and is still just a young man, but his raw jade has been polished. She is definitely not the first person to discover his good qualities, and she will not be the last.
one.
She asked, "Where did you go to play today?"
"I went to Peach Blossom Creek and took Xie Lin to meet some people." Seeing that Su Rong no longer insisted, Zhou Gu relaxed and leaned against the back of the chair, saying lazily: "Your elder brother helped me gain more knowledge.
I also want Xie Lin to experience it."
Su Rong understood, she curved her lips and smiled, "Good brothers share the same blessings?"
Zhou Gu wanted to say who was a good brother to him, but if Xie Lin kept letting him cheat him, it would be fine to be a good brother with him. He nodded, "We should share the hardships."
"Does everyone like him as much as they like you?" Su Rongke heard that many talented people in Jiangzhou now admire Zhou Gu, not because of his family background, but because of his talent and character.
"Is it okay? He still has some ink in his stomach, and he didn't listen to the chatter of the gentlemen in the study in vain." Zhou Gu commented.
Su Rong nodded and said to him: "My father and mother both like Xie Lin very much."
Zhou Gu had already seen it and said thoughtfully: "Uncle and aunt don't want to choose one of your sisters to marry Xie Lin, do they?"
Su Rong shook his head and said decisively, "No."
Her parents were very self-aware and knew that Xie Lin's family background was high and that for no special reason, the concubine daughter of the Su family could not reach the top.
Zhou Gu breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to be brother-in-law with Xie Lin. In that case, how could he have the nerve to trick him?
