Drunk House Chapter 181

Chapter 181 No Comments (One Update)

Xie Lin drank with Zhou Gu the night before, and after returning home, he couldn't take it anymore and had a splitting headache, so he invited the imperial physician.

After the imperial physician saw it, he prescribed a medicine, and he fell asleep peacefully, but the sequelae were so severe that he lay on the bed for a whole day.

So, when the servants of the mansion gathered under the window to gossip about the First Prince's Mansion, he seemed to hear Su Rong's name, and immediately called people into the room to ask what was going on.

The servant turned pale with fright, and cowardly told the gossip about the Great Prince's Mansion that was raging outside, then knelt down and begged Xie Lin for forgiveness, but Xie Lin didn't get annoyed that the servant disturbed his rest, but sat up from the bed in shock, "Is this true or not?"

The servant quickly said, "It's been spread like this outside, and the servant doesn't know if it's true or not, but the rumor is good, and it's probably true."

Xie Lin waved his hand, "Go out and call me the butler."

The servant's heart was relieved, he quickly got up from the ground, and rushed out of the room.

The steward came soon, listened to Xie Lin's question, nodded, "Return to the little prince, it's true, besides Duanhua Princess, Miss Su Qi and her younger brother Feng Ling, the guests who went to the First Prince's Mansion today also included the Second Princess and the guards of Princess Qingping's Mansion moving in and out of the First Prince's Mansion to carry the picked chrysanthemums. Many people witnessed it with their own eyes.

Xie Lin was stunned, "So it's all true!"

The butler nodded.

Xie Lin sighed, "Amazing, who in this capital doesn't know that the eldest princess loves flowers? The precious chrysanthemums in her garden are like treasures. At the beginning of the month, she even invited my mother to come over to see them. It's only the middle of the month, and the garden was bald by Duanhua after only half of September..."

He got a toothache just thinking about it, "I'm afraid that the eldest princess's heart is bleeding?"

The housekeeper nodded, "It must be. At the beginning of the month, after our princess came back from viewing flowers at the First Prince's Mansion, she also said that the chrysanthemums in the First Prince's Garden grew well."

Who would have thought that in just a few days, because of Miss Su Qi's words about making tea, she would be destroyed by Princess Duanhua's hands.

Xie Lin smiled "Hey", got off the bed neatly, said while putting on his clothes, "I won't eat dinner at the house anymore."

The butler hadn't left yet, so he immediately asked, "My lord, you're not resting in the mansion, it's so late, you want to go out? Where are you going?"

"Go to Shen Mansion to find Brother Su." Xie Lin put on his clothes neatly, and walked out.

The housekeeper followed him out of the room, "Are you looking for Su Xingze?"

"Yes." Xie Lin waved his hand.

Just as the butler was about to say something, someone came to him and said that the princess had invited him over. The butler could only stop talking and went to see the princess again, thinking that the princess had probably heard the rumors outside, just like the little prince, and asked him whether the rumor was true.

Xie Lin rode out of the mansion on horseback, and soon came to Shen's mansion.

It is not the first time that he has come here uninvited. Since Su Xingze lived in Shen's residence, he has come here two or three times. The gatekeeper has already recognized him, told him that Mr. Su is in the residence, and invited him in.

Xie Lin didn't need anyone to lead the way, so he went directly to Su Xingze's residence to find her.

Su Xing was preparing to eat, when he saw Xie Lin coming, he invited him in, "Brother Xie, why are you here?"

"Come to eat." Xie Lin sat down at the table unceremoniously.

Su Xing smiled and ordered another pair of bowls and chopsticks.

Xie Lin looked at the seven or eight kinds of food on the table. This was Su Xingze's dinner alone. He envied, "Hey, is the life in Shen's residence so good? Every time I come back and catch up with the meal time, I see that the dishes on your table are very appetizing. They are delicious in color and fragrance, which shows that Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen are people who are good at living."

Su Xing didn't believe that he was just here to grab a meal, but he still responded, “Aunt Shen said that I had a hard exam and lost weight after coming to Beijing. Now after the exam, I don't have to be free, so she ordered the kitchen to make me a few more nutritious meals every day.”

Xie Lin nodded, "There are meat and vegetables, porridge and soup, this combination is really nutritious."

A servant girl brought bowls and chopsticks, and brought a jug of wine. When she was about to pour it out, Xie Lin stopped her, "I had a headache from drinking yesterday, and I just recovered from it today, so I stopped drinking."

Su Xing was not accustomed to being served by others, so he waved his hands when he heard the words, and said softly: "Go down!"

The servant girl should be, took the flagon and retreated.

Xie Lin and Su Xing complained, "Yesterday Zhou Gu took me to drink. Guess what? He took me to the guest house, took out all the money in my hand, ordered twelve jars of wine, and said six jars per person. You know my drinking capacity, and it lasted three jars, but he gave me hangover pills and asked me to drink. I couldn't drink it. I had to sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman because I was wronged. Come on, it's really fatal. I've been lying down for a whole day today, and I just got up from the bed before I came to you."

Su Xing knew that Su Rong went to Huguogong Mansion to divorce his marriage yesterday, so he focused on the key point and asked him, "Why did you make a mistake?"

Xie Lin got mad, and he still said what he casually said to curse Zhou Gu in Jiangning County, and after he finished speaking, he said wrongly, "I really said it casually at that time, who knew that your seventh sister really divorced Zhou Gu, and I really don't blame me for it."

If his mouth is so effective, then all the vows he made when he accompanied his mother to worship the Buddha and accompanied his father to worship the ancestors should all come true, but so far, none of them have come true.

Su Xing was silent after listening.

Xie Lin sighed, "Brother Su, can I ask? Why did Miss Seven break off the engagement? Is Zhou Gu okay?"

It's not that he wants to say good things about Zhou Gu, it's really that he can't figure out how harmonious the two of them got along in Jiangning County, as long as anyone with eyes can see it. And with the appearance of Zhou Gu, why Su Rong?

He estimates that many people have this doubt.

Perhaps others will think that Su Rong is ashamed of his appearance, dare not climb high, and has self-knowledge, but he knows Su Rong and has lived in Su's family. He is not the kind of person who is ashamed of himself, especially Su Rong himself.

Su Xing shook his head, "This is my sister's own business, and I can't say it. In short, the engagement has been withdrawn, so it is useless to talk about it."

Xie Lin saw that he couldn't find any news from Su Xingze, so he could only give up, "Well, you're right. That's it, it's not about me, and it's not about me, but it's a bit about saying it's about me, after all, I couldn't help but curse him.”

Su Xing smiled lightly, "Zhou Gu is not a narrow-minded person, brother Xie can rest assured, he will not hold you back."

Xie Lin also understood, and sighed again, "I know, he just took revenge on me, spent all the money my mother spent on me, and then poured me a bellyful of wine, which made me feel uncomfortable for a few days. This matter is over. But I don't think he is in a bad mood?"

He asked again tentatively, "Miss Seven told him that she fell in love with someone else when she broke off the engagement. Well, Brother Su, I'm also curious, who is the other person? Better than Zhou Gu?"

Su Xing was taken aback, but he didn't show it on his face. He shook his head, "Brother Xie, I'm sorry I have nothing to say."

Xie Lin gave up completely this time, "Okay, brother Su, if you can't say it, you can't say it." She immediately changed the subject, "Your sister and Duanhua went to the princess mansion as guests today, have you heard?"

Su Xing nodded, "I heard."

Xie Lin sighed, "Your sister is really amazing. With a light word, the Grand Princess lost the Chrysanthemum Garden. Duanhua is also really fierce. A word of filial piety to the emperor's uncle and precious concubine made the Grand Princess speechless. And that Feng Ling, he is Miss Seven's younger brother? Isn't that your family? Why haven't I heard of it before? Where did it come from?"

"Feng Ling is a student of Mr. Xie, and his younger sister has been taught by Mr. Xie since childhood, so they are called siblings." Su Xing explained simply.

Xie Lin suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. That Feng Ling is really interesting. He is indeed Mr. Xie's student. I will meet him someday. He must be very interesting."

He said, enjoying himself, "Ning Ze in Nanpinghou's Mansion is also a very shrewd person. In the past few years, in Nanpinghou's Mansion, relying on his mother and younger sister, and relying on Nanpinghou's favor, he is said to have made trouble for the eldest son Ning Chi. Unexpectedly, when he came to the capital, the tiger's paw became a little soft cat. It is said that Feng Ling was trapped in the big kitchen of the First Prince's Mansion for half a day.

Su Xing was also a little funny, "Feng Ling and my sister have similar temperaments and temperaments. If the two get together, if they mess around, it will be really hard to resist."

"It's more than difficult to resist. Their siblings are now famous in the capital. Even more famous than you, Su Xingze. The turmoil of divorce didn't dissipate, but this happened the next day. Your sister's name is probably a household name." Xie Lin tutted, "Do you know who has been given this kind of treatment? The great general who won the victory and returned to the court, the famous wit who fought with all the scholars, oh, and me and Zhou Gu. One."

What Su Xing thought was that since her younger sister and Feng Ling did it deliberately, she might have planned it. Her reputation is well known in the capital, so spreading it out is also telling people in Nanchu that she is in the capital. If you want to find her, just find her.

He said warmly: "Let's eat!"

Xie Lin nodded. His stomach was empty this day, and he didn't dare to eat big fish or meat. He only drank porridge, thinking that the capital would be really lively in the future.
