Zhou Gu has now figured out everyone in the Prefect's Mansion, not to mention that Su Xingze is not unknown. He is a very famous talent in the Jiangnan area. It can be said that his reputation has spread to the capital. At the end of the golden autumn, gambling houses in the capital have begun to bet on this year's candidates, and many people are betting that Su Xingze will win the first place.
He asked: "Su Xingze?"
"Yeah." Su Rong picked up a weed that was blocking the roadside and played with it in his hand, "I'm afraid of him."
Zhou Gu raised his eyebrows, "Is he very strict?"
"It's not bad." Su Rong shook his head, "If I say strict, he is not as strict as my mother, but he is a very good person who specializes in finding people's weaknesses."
"What weakness did you have that he pinched?" Zhou Guzhuang asked casually.
"I..." Su Rong was about to say it, but he immediately realized what he was saying, stopped and whispered, "I can't tell you."
Zhou Gu sneered, "What? Are you afraid that I will also find your weakness and take care of you?"
Su Rong shook his head, "I'm not that bold. We've only known each other for two days, and the engagement is still up for discussion. You won't care about me, right?"
"Maybe, it's just right for me to care about you, isn't it?" Zhou Gugao raised his eyebrows.
Su Rong blinked, "You..."
She wanted to ask, now that you even say the words "justifiable", do you really want to marry me? But it had only been two days, and he knew what kind of virtuous person she was, so she wouldn't be so hasty.
Zhou Gu waited for a while, but when she didn't continue speaking, he suddenly glanced back at her, smiled, and seemed to understand what she was thinking, and asked her, "Why are you so unsure?"
Su Rong looked at him, her heart suffocating, "Zhou Gu, don't tease me. Didn't you listen to Chen Zhou? I couldn't help teasing."
Zhou Gu paused for a moment, turned away his face, hooked a strand of hair beside his ear with his hand and then loosened it, holding the corner of his mouth with a smile, and said lazily: "What am I teasing you for? My grandfather is here when I come." At that time, he sternly warned me not to bully you based on my status. He made the engagement between you and me, and there was absolutely no reason for the Zhou family to regret the engagement. He told me to sleep well and not to cause trouble. When I first met you, I was still thinking , a little girl raised in a boudoir, is too weak, but I really didn’t expect that in just two days, you would make me subvert my cognition and feel that I am afraid that I am blind, so I can’t recognize people.”
Su Rong coughed and felt a little embarrassed, "Well, my parents thought you were very good and asked me to cooperate and give you a good impression. After I met you, I felt a little guilty about it, and I didn't want to lie to you to the end."
Zhou Gu suddenly understood, and suddenly said deliberately: "My grandmother is the eldest princess of Sheng'an, so she has no choice in the rules taught in the palace. My mother was born in the Cui family of Qinghe, and her boudoir is very good. You Except for my grandfather, I'm afraid..."
He clicked his tongue, "You have even deceived me. If you keep pretending, you can deceive others. But you can deceive for a while, but you can deceive for a lifetime..."
He raised his eyebrows and looked directly at her, "Marry me, will you?"
Su Rong: "..."
She can't!
No... right?
Su Rong had a very clear understanding of himself and knew that he was not a law-abiding person at heart. There were many rules in the high-level courtyard, and the lintel of the Duke Protector's Palace was illustrious. Although he was from a military general's family, because of his two daughters The master was of such a noble birth that the rules must be quite strict. Even if Zhou Gu is happy to marry her, the two eldest female members of their family probably won't be able to indulge her like the eldest lady, and they won't be able to despise her to death at that time?
Su Rong shook her head inwardly, she couldn't even be restrained by the prefect's palace, let alone the Duke Protector's palace who couldn't act willfully.
Zhou Gu waited for a while, but when she didn't answer, he snorted softly, turned around and walked forward.
Su Rong: "..."
She held up the hem of her skirt and followed him silently, thinking that she might not be able to get this close relationship. Even though her fiancé was a good person, she couldn't force him, right? She felt a little bored, and the little waves and ripples that had risen in her heart after seeing him and the idea of giving it a try also subsided.
The two came to Yuelao Temple.
In front of the Yuelao Temple, the acacia tree looked very prosperous with several people hugging each other. There were countless red silk ribbons tied to the tree.
Su Rong originally wanted to take Zhou Gu with her to pray for blessings, but when Chen Zhou interfered with it, she thought to forget it!
Zhou Gu stood under the acacia tree, looked at it with his hands behind his back, then looked at Yuelao Temple on the side, and asked Su Rong, "Why are there so many blessing belts? Is Yuelao busy enough?"
Su Rong didn't know whether Yue Lao was busy enough to come over and answered him, "People from a hundred miles away will come here to pray for marriage. Even people from other places who come here say that it is miraculous."
"Have you heard people say it's effective? Is there anyone specific?" Consultant Zhou.
Su Rong shook his head, "I haven't asked about it, but my sisters have come here to pray for blessings and ask Yue Lao for a good marriage. However, they haven't got engaged yet, and I don't know which family they will marry in the future, and I can't say whether it will be a good one." Marriage.”
"Why are your sisters still not allowed to kiss?" Zhou Gu was curious, "Your eldest sister, if you are not allowed to kiss anymore, is she almost too old?"
Su Rong nodded, a little embarrassed to say it, but still told him truthfully, "Mother said, let them wait, because I have an excellent marriage contract, and through me, I might be able to get them a good marriage."
Zhou Gu: "..."
His face was full of questions, "Are you saying that the eldest lady used you to woo me, and then used me to arrange good marriages for your sisters?"
"Um."
Zhou Gu never knew that he was of such great use and was involved in the marriages of several women. He was shocked for a while, "She never thought about what if you and I couldn't get engaged..."
"And my eldest brother, who is from Jinqiu High School, is more reliable than me." Su Rong sighed, "My mother doesn't have to make a fortune by selling her daughters. She just regards us as her own family and looks forward to marrying everyone. Okay. Although there is a bit of selfishness in helping my eldest brother, in the final analysis, it is not that big. After all, Jiangning County is too small, and I have been used to getting into trouble since I was a child. She protects my shortcomings and is powerful. Shrewd, the two of us together have offended many people, especially the officials above my father, namely the governor of Chenzhou and his wife. Therefore, as long as a respectable family is in the way of my mother, it is difficult to get along with her. In addition, the governor's wife was obstructing her, and she didn't like to get married in the prefect's house, but she was willing to marry someone whose family background was too low, but she didn't want her daughter who was raised by her to go to someone else's house to suffer poverty and not be as good as her own family. So, Then I thought, if your marriage and my marriage come true, it will also solve the marriage issue of my sisters. If it doesn't come true, I will still have my eldest brother to rely on, so it won't hurt my sisters to wait any longer."
Zhou Gu: "..."
He was speechless for a moment and felt complicated. After a while, he stretched out his hand to pinch his brow bone and said, "Your family is really..."
