The old protector was furious when he heard this.
Angry, he pointed at Zhou Gu and scolded him, "You bastard, you learned how to rob women, and also learned to look down on others? Your grandfather and I were born in mud, so you are used to treating yourself as valuable? What's wrong with the little concubine from Jiangning County?" Already? If you dislike others, maybe others will dislike you for being such a fool and not knowing what's going on."
Zhou Guzheng was happy, "That's better, just regret the marriage."
"How dare you!" The old Protector slapped the table hard, "I tell you, your grandfather and I personally made this engagement. If you dare to say the word regret about the marriage again, you will get out of the Protector's life. From now on, they are not the descendants of my Duke Protector."
Zhou Gu was startled.
The old Protector had a stern face and warned sternly, "Let me tell you, if your third brother hadn't been born prematurely and was weak, I'm afraid he would have died young, and this marriage wouldn't have been your turn."
Zhou Gu thought of his third brother who was now in good health and had an idea, "What about changing it now?"
The old Lord Protector glared angrily, "Since we have made the engagement for you, it is you. The birth date and horoscope of the marriage have been set, and it is your name that is written on it. How can we change it again? What are you talking about?"
Zhou Gu was irritated and said, "Grandpa, I don't understand. Jiangning is thousands of miles away from the capital. Our family is nowhere near the prefect of Jiangning. Why did you book a concubine for me from his family?"
The old Protector didn't want to say more, "His family is kind to me, so don't worry about the rest."
Zhou Gu was unconvinced, "You repay the favor, why are you trying to catch me?"
"You are the only one suitable for us in our family. I have raised you for many years. Shouldn't you repay me?" Seeing Zhou Gu resisting in every possible way, the old Protector repeatedly warned, "There is no need to discuss this matter unless you are not from the Protector's Palace." Children and grandchildren, otherwise as long as you are a descendant of the Protectorate, you will have to listen to me."
He was so overbearing, just like when he was sent to the study instead of the army.
Zhou Gu was so angry that he said, "Then don't order a concubine for me!" But when he thought about it, the Su family seemed to have no legitimate daughters, and they were just a bunch of concubines, and he was speechless.
The old protector looked at him and made a decision, "Prefect Su's daughter is called Su Rong, ranked seventh. Her biological mother died of illness eight years ago. She is only one month away from getting her haircut. You can go to Jiangning in person to attend her haircut ceremony." This ceremony also shows that our Lord Protector will keep our promise and get married."
Zhou Gu didn't want to refuse, "I won't go!"
The old Protector frowned angrily, "We must go!"
Zhou Gu stared at the Protector.
The Protector ignored his resistance and made arrangements on his own, "You will leave Beijing with the Su family's guards in two days. I will prepare a gift for you. You go in advance and stay in Jiangning for a longer time. You are young and can't act properly." Tiao, I'm a little worried. You go with a steward and some more guards. You can come back after the little girl has her haircut. At that time, I will arrange for your mother to go to Jiangning with the official media to discuss the marriage. "
Zhou Gu was annoyed, "It's just a haircut gift for her. Even if we get married, can't we just send a steward to deliver the gift? Why do I have to go there in person?"
"You go by yourself to represent the importance the Protector's Office attaches to this matter, to express its attitude, and to reassure the Su family. After all, there has been no contact for so many years." The old Protector's Office said: "Our Protector's Office has always stood by Up high, the trees are big and attract the wind, and there are many people staring at them. I am also afraid that if I do something, it will be known to others, causing troubles and problems, disturbing the purity over there. Now the little girl has grown up safely, and she can pass the door when she is pregnant. , it’s time to take care of it.”
Zhou Gu was extremely puzzled, "What kind of favor is it? That you are willing to sell your grandson and still value him so much?"
The old protector wanted to slap him, "Why are you selling your grandson? It's such an ugly thing to say. It's good to have two surnames." Seeing Zhou Gu's unhappy face, he said angrily: "If you go by family status, Your grandmother was a princess back then, and she wouldn't have married a brat like me, so she wouldn't have had your father and you. What's wrong with the concubine? We, the Protector of the Country, don't pay attention to family matters. Put away your unhappy face It makes me sick to look at it.”
Zhou Gu wanted to say that you are tired of me, but I am also tired of you. Seeing the old Protector's resolute attitude and a look that showed no resistance, he simply shut up and stopped arguing with him, "Okay, okay! Just go!"
He wanted to see who his grandfather paid so much attention to, even to the point of expelling him from the house.
Seeing that he had agreed, the old Lord Protector was satisfied and waved to him, "Go away!"
Zhou Gu turned around and left without saying a word.
After coming out of the study of the old Lord Protector, Zhou Gu got an unpleasant job. Zhou Gu felt irritable and lost interest in going out to race horses, so he simply returned to his Shuanglin Garden.
Ziye, the close guard who had grown up with him since childhood, saw his depressed expression and felt that he had the obligation to solve his master's problems, so he asked: "Master, what's wrong with you? Did the old man specifically scold you again because of Miss Qin's matter?"
"no."
Midnight looked at him, "Is that because I heard that you were going to go horse racing and you weren't allowed to go?"
"No."
Ziye was confused, "That's..."
Zhou Gu was not angry, "If Xie Lin knew that I was going to marry a concubine, he would probably laugh at me to death."
Midnight was startled, "Is your marriage going to be put on the agenda?"
"Yes." Zhou Gu was annoyed to death, "The little concubine from Jiangning County is going to get her haircut. My grandfather asked me to attend her haircut ceremony in person and we will leave in two days."
He lay down on the bed, covered his face with a book, and said, "I'm so annoyed. My grandfather said that if I dare to regret my marriage, he will expel me from the house."
Midnight took a breath and felt that he could not solve this problem. Seeing that Zhou Gu was about to explode with annoyance, he carefully suggested, "The eldest princess loves you the most, and Madam, if you are not happy, right? Can you ask the eldest princess and madam to make the decision for you?"
"If my grandmother had not agreed to this marriage, my grandfather would not have arranged it for me. Let alone my mother. She has always followed my grandfather's lead. There is no point in looking for them. This family is my grandfather's house."
Ziye sighed, "Then there's nothing we can do. It seems you can only get married."
You can't really be kicked out of your house, right? In that case, young prince Xie should watch the young master's jokes.
He was wondering, "Did the old man tell me the reason? Why do you have to marry a concubine from Jiangning County?"
"It is said that the Su family is kind to him. I am not allowed to find out what kind of kindness it is." Zhou Gu didn't bother to explore. "It seems that I can only be laughed at by Xie Lin."
Midnight thought about the scene of the young prince Xie laughing at the young master. After holding it in for a while, he could only suggest, "If the young prince laughs at you, there is no other way. You can only beat him."
Zhou Gu took the book off his face and looked at Ziye, "Why are you so violent?"
Ziye said seriously, "Master, haven't you said since you were a child that if you can do something, don't talk nonsense?"
Zhou Gu was speechless, "If I beat him again, my grandfather would probably beat me again. It's not worth it for me to stay in bed for seven more days because of him."
He sat up and came up with a malicious thought, "Tell me, Xie Lin hasn't got engaged yet. If he decides to get married in a bad way, will he be the same as me? Don't even think about laughing at me in the future." Already?"
Midnight: "..."
He scratched his head, "Really?"
"Then I have to think about it and think of a way to let Xie Lin marry a concubine." Zhou Gu lay down again and started thinking to himself, "Xie Lin likes Qin Luan who is gentle, thoughtful and beautiful, but like this Women, generally from a small family, cannot be trained, so where can I find one to seduce him?"
He regretted a little, "If I had known that my grandfather insisted on me fulfilling the engagement, I would not have stolen someone from Xie Lin. Now that Qin Luan has entered the East Palace, it is impossible to give it back to Xie Lin."
He hit his head with regret and said, "Hey, if Xie Lin gets Qin Luan, as much as he likes Qin Luan, he might actually fight against King Rui and Princess Rui for her. It is also a good destination for Qin Luan. , I count... I didn’t think of it at the time, I was so stupid.”
He had a depressed look on his face, "Most people who come from a small family have a small family spirit. Xie Lin has a higher eye, so he will definitely look down on him."
Seeing Zhou Gucheng sincerely regretting it, Midnight used his worry-relieving function to give him advice, "In a brothel?"
"What brothel?" Zhou Gu was confused.
Midnight said seriously, "Girls like Miss Qin can be found in brothels. The madams in brothels have been cultivating beauties since they were young, and they have everything they want."
Zhou Gu was shocked and sat up again, "Isn't this too immoral? If Prince Rui knew that I induced Xie Lin to marry a woman from a brothel and came to visit him, my grandfather would also break my legs, right? ? No, it might be more serious than breaking a leg."
He looked at Ziye with an expression of "Why are you so bad? Who did you learn it from?" "Ziye, you learned it badly. Did you learn it from the three-legged cat guards around Xie Lin? If you don't learn from the good ones, Are you just learning bad ideas?"
Ziye coughed, and honestly said: "It's not that my subordinate is a bad person, but Young Master, you said that I need to be good-looking, gentle, scheming, and from a low background. According to Miss Qin's search, aren't only girls from brothels meeting the requirements? "
Zhou Gu was stunned for a moment, "You've never been to a brothel, how do you know?"
"I have never eaten pork, but I have always seen pigs running away. A few days ago, Prince Cheng ransomed a girl from a brothel. Our lady also commented that she was indeed a foxy girl who was born in a brothel. She has only been in Prince Cheng's palace for three days. Just give such a powerful person like the princess a chance to have a baby."
Zhou Gu's attention went astray, "Princess Chengjun is not very powerful, right? If she is really powerful, then the brothel girl will not be able to enter Prince Chengjun's palace at all."
"Oh, my subordinates said that it's not that Princess Cheng can't control Prince Cheng, but that she has a way of dealing with the women in the backyard." Ziye said cryptically.
Zhou Gu understood and scratched his head, "Isn't this okay?" He lay down again, irritated, "Although I don't like Xie Lin, I can't harm him like this. At least I have to be innocent of the girl from my family."
Ziye also felt that he had come up with a bad idea, "Then we can only find it slowly. Anyway, the world is so big. If the young master wants to avoid being laughed at by Mr. of."
Zhou Gu thought about it and simply put the matter down and said in a bad mood: "Pack your things! I'll go to Jiangning in two days."
Midnight nodded.
