Zhou Gu didn't think there was anything to be nervous about coming to the Su Mansion. After all, he had seen many big scenes since he was a child. In the imperial study room, he could get people to fight with his husband. He even chopped down a laurel tree in the East Palace during a fight with other martial arts masters. He also participated in palace banquets countless times since childhood. He smiled playfully in front of everyone, including His Majesty, and never offended anyone.
But in the Prefect's Mansion, he had made mental preparations for three days, thinking he would feel at ease. Who knew that the formation to greet him was so special? Even though he had been sitting in the living room for a while, a lot of people had already gathered at the door. , even people were lying at the windows looking at him openly. He had good ears and eyes, and he heard that these people not only looked at him, but also whispered, "Oh, is this the seventh uncle?", "The seventh uncle is good-looking." So handsome!", "Seventh uncle's appearance is a perfect match for our seventh lady!" Wait, Zhou Gu's whole body was feeling bad.
He regretted not turning around and leaving at the door just now. There were no rules at all in this prefect's mansion.
When Grand Administrator Su and the eldest lady arrived, they were also surprised by the crowd of servants crowding the door of the living room. The eldest lady immediately regretted that she had only been staring at Su Rong these past few days and forgot to teach the people in the mansion the rules. She immediately reprimanded, "Why are you so idle? Do whatever you need to do. If anyone is idle and doesn't do anything anymore, I'll deduct monthly money."
This sentence really worked, and the servants immediately dispersed.
Su Taishou coughed and said, "Madam, don't be so harsh. Be careful to scare my uncle away."
Madam: "..."
Zhou Gu, who could hear clearly in the back room: "..."
Su Taishou stepped forward first, smiling warmly in the spring breeze, "Oh, nephew Zhou Xian, I have been waiting for you for several days, not daring to go out, but you are finally here. If you hadn't come, I couldn't help but invite you. "
Zhou Gu stood up stiffly and bowed his hands in greeting. Fortunately, he was a man who had learned the rules since elementary school, so he could barely keep his expression steady. "Hello, Uncle Su!" He bowed his hands to the eldest lady, "Hello, Aunt Su!" and then said, "Junior. When I first came to Jiangning, I felt a little uncomfortable, so I came a few days late. Please forgive me, Uncle Su and Aunt Su."
"It's not too late, don't listen to him. My dear nephew, please take a seat." The eldest lady glared at Su Taishou.
Zhou Gu sat down stiffly again.
Su Taishou was extremely enthusiastic towards Zhou Gu. He looked at his features and temperament and was extremely satisfied. "Xiannie, you are really good-looking. Our Xiaoqi is also good-looking. You will know when you meet her later." , she is a perfect match for you.”
Zhou Gu: "..."
The eldest lady coughed and said lovingly: "My dear nephew has never been to Jiangning before, has he? Doesn't our Jiangning have beautiful scenery and outstanding people? The water and soil of Jiangning support people, and my little Qi has been raised to be delicate and tender since she was a child."
Zhou Gu: "..."
He couldn't stand it any longer.
Who can tell him why Governor Su and his wife are like this? Is his concubine fiancée not normal? Sorry, he has never been someone else's fiancé. He really doesn't know what to say to each other when this fiancé comes to visit for the first time. But it is certain that it is not normal for the two of them to say this just after they met him, right?
Seeing Zhou Gu's silence and stiffness, Su Taishou burst into laughter, "Xiannephew, are you a little nervous? It was my first time to visit my in-law's house, and I was also very nervous. It's okay. We get to know each other once, and we'll get to know each other again in the future. Once you get familiar with it, you won’t be nervous if you get used to it.”
The eldest lady also smiled and nodded, "My dear nephew, please relax. You are the first uncle-in-law to come to our family. The master and the servants of the family will inevitably be happy. What the master said is that when we get to know each other, Just get used to it.”
Zhou Gu thought to himself, I'm afraid I won't be able to get used to you being so familiar with each other.
It was not good for him not to speak, so he could only say reluctantly: "This junior is a little uncomfortable with your house's enthusiasm."
"Oh, this is simple. You came all the way from the capital to Jiangning, how can you keep living in a rented courtyard outside? Listen to me, you will live in this mansion from today on. As long as you move in, it won't take three days , just get used to it.”
Zhou Gu was startled and immediately shook his head, "No need, I..."
Su Taishou waved his hand, "Your aunt has asked people to clean up the yard. We will be a family from now on, how can we be so open to the outside world? If anyone finds out, they will think that we don't like this marriage. You listen to me."
After he finished speaking, without asking Zhou Gu's opinion, he turned to the eldest lady and said, "Is that right, madam? You have already tidied up the yard."
The eldest lady nodded, "Yes, it has been sorted out a long time ago."
She didn't seem to see Zhou Gu's face change, and said with a smile: "You haven't seen Xiao Qi yet, I will ask someone to call her over, you young people are the ones who have something to say. I don't know the rules of your Zhou family, but the old man The Duke wrote a letter saying that you young people should be given more time and opportunities to cultivate relationships. If you don’t move in, Xiaoqi will have to leave the house every day to find you where you live. I am willing to bear her hard work, but it is inconvenient after all. , it’s more convenient for you to live in.”
Zhou Gu: "..."
He has never dealt with this kind of battle in the past sixteen years. When fighting Xie Lin, he could hold him down and beat him, but what should he do in this situation?
Can he leave now?
If he leaves and returns to the capital, will his grandfather beat him to death?
Seeing his mute voice, the eldest lady laughed secretly, thinking that she was still just a little kid, so she didn't believe that he could withstand her shameless fight with the master.
Anyway, the old Protector's attitude was revealed and the engagement was to continue. In this case, they would promote this marriage. How can two young people have feelings if they don't get along? Without feelings, how can you live your life with all your energy in one place?
Although the eldest lady no longer regards love as a thing, she knows that it is useful, especially for women to tie up men. It is most effective for a woman with a low family background to trap a man with her love, and make him protect you in the future.
Therefore, in the past few days, in addition to teaching Butler Su Rong, she also told her that she must pretend to be a good person. With her face, how much effort would it take to deal with a young man? As for whether Su Rong fell in love with someone first and ended up sad or something, she didn't think she had to worry about it. That bastard was born with a black heart. It was not easy for her to fall in love with someone, so it was not within her scope of consideration.
So, she and Su Taishou secretly met Zhou Guhou, and they discussed it behind closed doors, and finally came up with today's story.
Zhou Gu thought to himself that he was trying to be simple. Today he should not only bring Ziye, but also Zhou Xi, the steward given to him by his grandfather. Zhou Xi should be able to handle this situation.
In short, he really couldn't cope with it.
Just when he was neither cold-faced nor cold-faced, Su Rong came with help.
