Drunk House Chapter 75

Chapter 75 Splendid Pavilion (one update)

Xie Lin had already spotted Zhou Gu, and beside him was a slender woman, who was beautiful, fair-skinned, and graceful. Zhou Gu and her were walking side by side, and the two of them were very close to each other, chatting and laughing.

Xie Lin was shocked, which woman had Zhou Gu been close to since he was a child? Even with Qin Luan, before the Qin family was convicted, if they stood together and talked, they would still be able to separate the two of them. The rest of the women don't even talk about it, they don't talk if they can't talk, and they don't provoke if they can't be provoked. He probably knows that he has such a face, coupled with his identity, it's rare to attract girls since he was a child. Therefore, for girls, he has always kept a respectful distance from them, neither bullying them nor getting close to them, staying far away if he can, avoiding them if he can, unlike now, when he walks side by side with other girls, their clothes can rub together, 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 showing off to him on purpose. Why did he spare no effort to flatter his fiancée so much? No matter how he thinks, he thinks it is possible, after all, he and Zhou Gu have known each other since they were young, that guy wants to save face, he is the only one who laughs at others, and never wants others to laugh at him. A month ago, because he robbed Qin Luan from him, he was beaten up by the old protector in the end because he didn't get anyone. He felt that he was ashamed and very ashamed. He stayed in the mansion for many days, and he didn't leave the mansion after healed up, just like him.

Now that Xie Lin saw it with his own eyes, he was not sure for a while, thinking that he had misunderstood Zhou Gu? He walked towards Zhou Gu, and came to him and Su Rong, "You said Jiang Ning is good, I'll come and see." He looked at Su Rong, "This girl is..."

Zhou Gu straightened his body and introduced, "This is my fiancée, Su Rong, I told you before leaving Beijing."

Xie Lin thought to herself that it was indeed Zhou Gu's fiancée, the little concubine born to the Seventh Concubine of Su Taishou's Mansion. Now Su Rong is from Jiangning, but she is very famous in the capital, because now everyone knows that Zhou Gu has a fiancée from the Jiangning Prefect's Mansion, who is also a concubine. The Palace of the Protector of the Country has not leaked any rumors in these years, maybe the inside story is disgraceful, and sooner or later it will be dirty.

But seeing Zhou Gu like this, he was very skeptical. Is this engagement too bad? Now she's just a fiancee, so she got so close.

Xie Lin looked at Su Rong carefully, just now she was far away, but now she is getting closer, he was amazed by her appearance and temperament, which was quite different from the obedient little concubine girl he imagined to survive in the backyard of the prefect's mansion, she stood calmly beside Zhou Gu and let him scrutinize him, and at the same time, she was also sizing him up, her eyes were neither timid nor curious, just warm and indifferent.

This kind of temperament, even the ladies in the capital are not inferior at all.

I really didn't expect such a girl to be raised in the small prefect's mansion in Jiangning County, no wonder Zhou Gu showed it 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 looked at people as he looked at them. He didn't dodge or evade. He seemed to have no thoughts at all, very clear.

Xie Lin suppressed the thoughts in his heart, and cupped his hands to Su Rong, "Miss Su Qi, thank you at the Ruian Palace."

Su Rong was also very surprised. He didn't expect Zhou Gu and Xie Lin to have a good relationship? It's not the kind of fight to the death as she thought when they meet. Especially Zhou Gu, seeing Xie Lin, isn't he too enthusiastic? As for Zhou Gu, who Xie Lin called out first, it seemed that he didn't have such a bitter hatred for Zhou Gu, and was also very friendly?

Su Rong doesn't quite understand the relationship between a man after a fight, at least after she had a fight with Chen Zhou, she doesn't like him so far, she feels that her forehead hurts, and she can't wait to beat him up again.

She nodded with a smile, "Hi, little prince Xie, I heard Brother Zhou mentioned that you have a good relationship with him, but I didn't expect you to come to Jiangning."

Xie Lin was almost stunned by Su Rong's words, Brother Zhou. He still remembers that when he was a child, a little girl from the Duke Hu's family called Zhou Gu Brother Zhou.

This is really 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, Zhou Gu also has this day. Is this the special treatment for fiancees?

Xie Lin wanted to say, "Who has a good relationship with him?", but seeing Su Rong's friendly and kind smile, he naturally couldn't say this, and just nodded, "Staying in the capital is boring, so I also came out for a walk. I just arrived in Jiangning an hour ago."

He looked at Zhou Gu, "After I settled down, I went out for a walk, and I ran into you unexpectedly. I live in Bafang Inn. You have been here for so long, where do you live?"

Zhou Gu said reservedly: "Of course I live in the prefect's mansion. Uncle Su and Aunt Su are too enthusiastic. I can't refuse my kindness, but I can only obey them because of their disrespect."

Xie Lin: "..."

He shouldn't have asked, he didn't have a parent-in-law who could live in someone's house and be treated warmly.

Zhou Gu invited Xie Lin, "We are going to Jinxiufang, are you coming too?"

"Isn't Jinxiufang a place to sell clothes? There's something to shop around." Xie Lin looked at him, glanced at Su Rong out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly said, "You want to accompany Miss Su Qi to buy clothes?"

"No, she accompanied me to go shopping." Zhou Gu was afraid that Xie Lin would not go, "You follow me to buy clothes, after buying clothes, I will accompany you to visit Jiangning. I have been here for so many days, and I have shopped everywhere. I can be a guide for you."

Xie Lin is not familiar with the place of life in Jiangning, originally because Zhou Gu came here, he was also curious to follow to see, so as not to be bored in the capital, now hearing what he said, naturally he has no objection, "Success!"

Zhou Gu made up his mind, and was very happy to see Xie Lin agreeing.

Su Rong naturally didn't know the dark thoughts in Zhou Gu's heart, but felt that Zhou Gu seemed a little too happy to see Xie Lin. Could this be the sequelae of the fight? Or has the relationship between the two of them always been so good? I haven't seen my best friend for a long time, like three autumns? That's why you showed your emotions after meeting each other?

It's not right, after all, when Zhou Gu saw Xie Lin from the window when he was in Drunken Goose Square, he wasn't very happy.

Xie Lin also noticed it, and felt that Zhou Gu must have had a serious problem with his brain, probably because he was beaten up by his grandfather after he robbed Qin Luan that day, because he was very enthusiastic when he met him on the day he left Beijing, and took the initiative to reconcile, and now he is extremely kind to him.

He guessed that he really liked this fiancée? So, people are in good spirits on happy occasions? Everyone you meet is like a relative?

The three of them soon arrived at Jinxiu Pavilion.

Jinxiu Pavilion is also considered half of Su Rong's property, so after she entered Jinxiu Pavilion, the shopkeeper immediately greeted her with a smile, "Miss Seven, you haven't been here for a while."

Su Rong said with a smile: "My mother taught me how to run a house, so don't you have time to come here?"

The shopkeeper also heard some rumors that Su Rong was detained to learn the rules. He smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't have time. You just need to send someone to let you know. I'll send someone to deliver the cloth pattern to the mansion for you. Why bother to go there yourself."

"My clothes are enough. I'm here to make a batch of clothes for my fiancé. He didn't bring many clothes when he came to Jiangning." Su Rong stretched out his hand and pulled Zhou Gu in front of him, "For the best fabrics, choose... choose ten kinds, and make ten sets."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Zhou Gu, "Ten sets should be enough, right?"

Zhou Gumo paused, "...that's enough."

In fact, he wanted to say too much, but Xie Lin was watching, so he still didn't say anything.

Su Rong nodded and said to the shopkeeper, "Only ten sets."

The shopkeeper looked at Zhou Gu up and down, and his face suddenly wrinkled with a smile, "Young Master Zhou and Miss Seven are really a good match, you are both talented and beautiful."

Zhou Gu covered his lips and coughed, but did not refute the words.

Su Rong smiled and nodded, "Everyone says so."

The shopkeeper's eyes flickered slightly, and he smiled and asked: "Mr. Zhou is good-looking, and wearing ordinary fabrics will make you look more handsome than others. But last night, a new batch of top-quality fabrics arrived. They are comparable to imperial offerings. Ordinary people can't wear them, but Mr. Zhou can wear them. Look, Miss Seven..."

Zhou Gu immediately said: "We need ordinary materials."

Su Rong spoke almost at the same time as him: "I want the batch of new ingredients 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, "Okay, listen to you."

Seeing that he no longer objected, Su Rong smiled and said to the shopkeeper, "Move them to the counter, and I will choose by myself."

"Okay." The shopkeeper responded, then turned around and gave instructions to the boy.
