Drunk House Chapter 187

Chapter 187 I'm sorry (one more)

Feng Ling didn't dare to go to Zhou Gu, so he dragged Lu Xuecheng to talk, and then went to play and chat with other young masters.

Zhou Gu's eyes fell on Feng Ling. He was sure that when he was in Jiangning County, no matter whether it was the Su family or Su Rong's side, there was no Feng Ling. This person has always existed, and he has never seen him? Or was it the person who appeared next to Su Rong after he left Jiangning County?

He found that even after spending a month in Jiangning County, he still didn't know Su Rong.

He thinks that she has some secrets, which is nothing. Which daughter's family does not have her own secrets, such as Lan Niang who sells drunken flower drinks in the smiling reception, such as Yu Niang, Wan Niang, and Fengyue who are in charge of the third floor.

It's not that he hasn't been surprised by these, and he also thinks she is not simple. But he thought it was no big deal, Su Xu had been in Jiangning County for more than ten years, and Su Rong was not a lady who would stay in the boudoir without leaving the house, whether it was because of Su Xu, Su Rong's own ability, or Xie Yuan, after they got along for a long time, he would know, in short, the future will be bright.

But he was wrong, they didn't last long. She came to the door to withdraw the engagement and cut off the relationship with him decisively.

He stood up, walked out, and the young master who was in front of him immediately asked, "Brother Zhou, where are you going?"

"I have something to do." Zhou Gu replied.

The young master originally wanted to follow him, but when he heard that he was busy, he sat back again.

All the girls came to the Osmanthus Garden, the garden was full of sweet-scented osmanthus, several tables and chairs were placed under the trees, and there were melon and fruit refreshments on the tables.

Everyone chatted and drank tea. Su Rong originally thought that when her daughters gathered together, they were not talking about rouge, gouache, or Zhuchai jewelry. After all, when they were in Jiangning County, the ladies of various houses gathered together to talk about these things. She loves to play with her, but she doesn't care, so much so that she is regarded as a different kind in Jiangzhou area.

But when she came to the capital, she found out. Taking Duanhua as an example, she talked with her about eating, drinking and having fun most of the time, but now these noble ladies don't talk about rouge and gouache, but gossip in Beijing. For example, someone's sister is married, what is the man's last name, how many people are there in the family, what kind of official is the father-in-law, is the mother-in-law good or not, or someone's sister was punished for copying a book for some reason yesterday, and if she has to copy it a hundred times, she probably won't be able to go out for a month. Another example is someone whose elder brother got into trouble in the academy and was almost broken by the family law. The academy was about to drop out of school, and the family had to ask for an apology before they managed to keep him; …

Su Rong loves to listen to these, and he listens with gusto. If he is not careful, he eats too much snacks and drinks too much tea.

She turned her head and glanced at Duanhua, seeing that Duanhua was engrossed in listening, she looked at Xie Ying and the others again, seeing that everyone loved this kind of gossip, she had no choice but to walk out of the Osmanthus Garden by herself, and at the door, she asked a maid who came to deliver tea, "Excuse me, where do you go when you go to the toilet?"

The maid hurriedly pointed to the east, "Go back to the nobleman, follow this road, go to the end, then turn north, then go to the end, then turn east, then turn south, that's it."

"Thank you." Su Rong followed the path pointed by the maid and went alone.

She has a strong sense of direction and quickly found the toilet.

Ruian Palace is very particular, and even the toilets are luxuriously repaired, with incense, toilet paper, clear water, mirrors, saponins, etc., all available.

Su Rong came out after washing her hands, without wiping them with a handkerchief, shaking the water drops, and walked back.

Walking halfway, I saw Zhou Gu standing there leaning against a tree trunk.

Su Rong paused, remembering that Princess Sheng'an specially pointed out that the grapes belonged to Zhou Gu's yard today, and asked her to thank Zhou Gu herself, which means that although she divorced, not only her relationship with the Duke of Huguo will not be broken, but her relationship with Zhou Gu, although they can't be a husband and wife, should not be like strangers.

Su Rong didn't want to be like a stranger to Zhou Gu, she wanted Zhou Gu to be good, of course, on the basis of Zhou Gu's good, she was also good, two good things are good.

So, she came close, and shouted with a smile, "Brother Zhou!"

Zhou Gu kept looking at her, seeing her walking with ease, with a complacent expression on her face, walking from a distance, until she saw him, she didn't show any other emotions on her face, she didn't hide or evade, and she naturally called him Brother Zhou. Compared with him being divorced, full of puzzlement, and unwilling to be suspicious, she seemed to be completely unaffected.

Zhou Gu didn't speak, just looked at her.

Su Rong smiled at him, "Just now I saw the eldest princess Sheng'an and Mrs. Guogong. The eldest princess said that the grapes sent to the princess mansion were grown in Brother Zhou's yard. They are very big, very purple, and very sweet. Thank you very much."

Zhou Gu sneered, and asked her: "You know that the grapes in Beijing are all out of the market, why are there still grapes growing in my yard that have not been picked?"

Su Rong naturally didn't know, and shook his head.

Zhou Gu stared at her and said: "That's because, after returning to Beijing, I told people not to pick the grapes in my yard. After I finish my scientific examination, I will take it as a betrothal gift and send it to Jiangzhou."

Su Rong was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head, "I'm sorry."

What Zhou Gu wants to hear is not sorry. He looked at Su Rong. The person in front of him was still the delicate and soft girl he first met. She didn't seem to have changed much. From Jiangning County to the capital, she was well fed and protected. She used to be the eldest wife of the Su family, but now she is Princess Qingping.

He really wanted to ask her why she divorced him but stayed in the capital, offended the eldest prince's mansion, and disrupted the court situation?

But when the words came to his lips, looking at her lowered head, he suddenly didn't want to ask, so he turned his head and left.

Su Rong raised her head, and saw that Zhou Gu had left. She breathed a sigh of relief, and followed Zhou Gu's example, took two steps forward, and leaned against the tree trunk he was leaning on just now.

Until Duanhua found her, she looked at her wonderingly, "What are you doing here alone leaning on the tree? Who are you waiting for?"

Su Rong shook her head and smiled at her, "I got lost and didn't dare to walk around, so I wanted to find a place to wait and see if anyone would pass by and take me out."

Duanhua despised her, "You deserve to be lost, who told you to come out quietly to find someone to use the toilet? Why didn't you call me?"

"I see that you are fascinated by listening, and I don't have the nerve to disturb you." Su Rong straightened up and asked her: "Are you going to the toilet?"

"Go!" Duanhua also drank too much tea, "You wait for me here, I will be back soon."

Su Rong nodded.

Duanhua left in a hurry.

Not long after, Duanhua came back and took her hand, "Let's go! The banquet is about to start."

Su Rong was held by her, and the two returned to the Osmanthus Garden. They saw Zhou Yun waiting at the door. Seeing the two coming, she said with a smile: "Xie Ying took people to the banquet hall, and I will wait for you here."

Duanhua and Su Rong thanked each other, and the three of them went to the banquet hall together.

There are separate banquets for men and women. As soon as Su Rong arrived, she saw a well-dressed lady with a slightly chubby face waving to her. Su Rong didn't know this lady, but Duan Hua who was beside her saw it and said in a low voice, "It's Mrs. Shen from the official office of Minister Shen, that's the Shen home where your elder brother lives."

As soon as Su Rong heard this, she hurried over, bowed her knees and said, "Aunt Shen."

Duanhua also called out, "Mrs. Shen."

Mrs. Shen doesn't like to attend banquets. Like Master Shen, she likes to be independent. In addition, she has two sons, one is married, and she takes his wife away from Beijing, and the other is only thirteen years old, and it's not time to discuss marriage. Therefore, she is happy to live her life behind closed doors, and doesn't like to come out on non-essential occasions. Followed by Prince Ruian's Mansion to post a post, come over to see Su Rong.

So, she came to Ruian Palace today, and she came here for Su Rong. She looked at Su Rong carefully, and saw that she was pretty, with clear eyebrows and eyes. It was hard to imagine that she had come to Beijing by herself in such a short period of time, and she had used her own efforts to make Beijing talk about her.

She stretched out her hand to hold hers, and said with a smile: "I will send someone to pick you up at the Princess Mansion early tomorrow morning, or will you follow me back to the Shen Mansion today?"

Duanhua immediately said from the side: "Mrs. Shen, don't be in such a hurry to rob someone. You don't need to pick her up tomorrow. I will take her there."

Su Rong also replied with a smile, "Let the princess send me off tomorrow!"

Mrs. Shen nodded with a smile, "That's fine, tomorrow, you brothers and sisters, go there earlier. The princess hasn't been to Shen's mansion yet, and I'll come back after lunch tomorrow. If you want to stay, you can pack some things and stay. Although our mansion is not as good as the princess' mansion, we still have a place to live."

Duanhua shook his head quickly, "Don't worry about it, ma'am, I won't be staying tomorrow, so I'll just taste the cooking skills of your mansion and come back."

Mrs. Shen was amused, "Okay."

After saying a few more words, Mrs. Shen let go of Su Rong's hand, and Duan Hua pulled Su Rong to find a seat for the two of them.
