Zhou Gu drank two jars of wine at night and did not wake up until three o'clock in the morning the next day.
When he walked out of the room, he saw Su Rong sitting in the lobby downstairs, holding a pair of scissors and a piece of colored paper in her hand, cutting something. Ziye sat aside, looking at her curiously, with eyes filled with excitement from time to time. Show an amazed expression.
Zhou Gu lay on the railing and looked down for a while. Neither of them noticed him. He turned back to the house and went to wash up.
After a while, he walked out and saw that Su Rong had put down the scissors and was holding the paper-cuts she had cut out in Midnight. He was praising her repeatedly, "Miss Qi, you are so amazing. With this skill of yours, can you set up a stall?" Did you? I saw the lady selling paper-cutting at the market, she couldn’t cut it as well as you, so many people lined up in front of her stall to buy it.”
"I learned it from her." Su Rongxiao heard the footsteps, turned her head and smiled at Zhou Gu, "Zhou Gu, you are finally awake."
Zhou Gu had tidied up, nodded to Su Rong, glanced at Ziye, "Why did you find me?"
"My subordinate is ready, so I came here. Young Master, you can't live without me." Ziye said immediately.
"Who said I can't live without you? Didn't I live well despite your absence yesterday?" Zhou Gu reached for the paper-cut in his hand, "What is it? Show me."
"It's the scene of you and Miss Seven roasting chicken in Fenghuang Mountain." Ziye regretted, "It's a pity that I had a stomachache yesterday and didn't eat Miss Seven's roast chicken. I heard from the guards that Miss Seven's roast chicken was delicious. Yesterday, The entire Fenghuang Mountain was filled with the aroma of roasted chicken, which made them very greedy. The pheasant they roasted themselves was so unpalatable."
Su Rong smiled.
Zhou Gu nodded when he heard the words and reminisced about yesterday's delicious food, "It was very good." He hit Ziye rudely, "Even if you were here yesterday, you didn't have any share."
Midnight: "..."
The friendship we grew up with is as thin as paper.
Zhou Gu sat down and asked Su Rong, "Have you had breakfast?"
"No, I'm waiting for you."
Zhou Gu frowned, "What are you waiting for me to do? Aren't you hungry?"
"I'm hungry. I didn't expect you to sleep up so late." Su Rong said, waving to the little boy, "Bring the food here!"
The boy responded and went immediately.
Zhou Gu muttered, "I drank the two jars of wine you brought back last night. I just didn't get up today. I just said drinking was a waste of time."
Su Rong guessed that this was the reason, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I made up for it with two snacks, and I'm not that hungry. Now you wake up just in time, and it's the same for lunch."
Zhou Gu nodded.
The boy quickly brought the food. Zhou Gu was also hungry, so he picked up his chopsticks and stopped talking.
After dinner, Su Rong asked: "Should we continue to go out to play? Or go back to the city?"
"Play."
Su Rong blinked, "How many days do you plan to dry Jiang Sheng?"
"I don't want to see him at all."
Su Rong was surprised, "Is this okay?"
"Why not?" Zhou Gu dismissed it, "If you are dissatisfied with me, go to my grandpa if you can!"
Su Rong laughed. She was really confident because of her status. "Okay, then I will take you to play. You can go back whenever you want."
Zhou Gu nodded.
Su Rong thought for a while, "Let's go to Peach Blossom Creek! Today there are students from Jiangning playing Qu Shui Shang. Although there are no peach blossoms falling, Peach Blossom Creek is worth seeing, especially the fish in Peach Blossom Creek, which are plump and tender. , I can grill fish for you."
Zhou Gu happily agreed, "Okay."
So, Su Rong took Zhou Gu to Peach Blossom Creek.
Peach Blossom Creek has beautiful scenery and clear water. When Su Rong and Zhou came to see it, many people had gathered in Peach Blossom Creek. There were men and women. Many people were playing with the flowing water. There were also many people watching and cheering. Very lively.
Zhou Gu was not very interested in games like Qu Shui Shang. After all, such elegant games were more popular in Beijing. He looked at Su Rong for a while, then he approached her and said, "People are playing such elegant games here. You catch fish." Wouldn’t it be good to bake it and eat it?”
Su Rong nodded, "Anyway, we have just finished lunch, so we are not in a hurry to grill the fish. When they disperse, we will catch the fish and grill it, so that it will not be an eyesore to them."
Zhou Gu thought that she had a plan and nodded.
The two of them didn't make any noise when they arrived. After watching for a while, someone finally spotted Su Rong, "Miss Su Qi?"
This man was a young man, elegant and delicate. His eyes lit up, and after he shouted, many people immediately looked at Su Rong. For a moment, the place where Su Rong and Zhou Gu were was became the focus of the crowd, but the most focused person was Zhou Gu next to Su Rong. Some were surprised, some were confused, and some were suddenly enlightened.
Zhou Gu didn't expect that Su Rong would attract so much attention and that he would also be surrounded by people. He paused for a moment, turned his head to Su Rong and said in a low voice: "What's the matter with you? Wherever you go, you don't feel restless. ?”
Su Rong also turned her head to him and lowered her voice and said, "About half of the people here have fought with me."
Zhou Gu was speechless.
The first person to call out Su Rong's name was Jiang Xing, who was a branch of Jiangzhou's governor Jiang Sheng's clan. He was once chased by a vicious dog, and Su Rong saved him. From then on, he had a good impression of Su Rong. He stood up and asked Su Rong. He came over with a look of surprise on his face, "Miss Seven, I haven't seen you for a while. Do you want to come and play with me?"
"I'm not playing, you guys can play, I'm just watching." Su Rong shook his head and smiled at this person, "It's rare for the academy to have a holiday, so you have fun."
Jiang Xing nodded, as if he had just noticed Zhou Gu, "This brother is..."
"My fiancé, Zhou Gu."
Jiang Xing was startled, his face changed slightly, and he blurted out: "In the past two days, there have been rumors that you have a fiancé. Is it...is it true?"
"Yeah, it's true." Su Rong nodded.
Jiang Xing took a step back, as if he was shocked to realize that he was being rude, and quickly handed over to Zhou Gu, "I'm rude, brother Zhou, don't blame me."
Zhou Gu glanced at Jiang Xing, then glanced at the many shocked eyes, thinking that it seemed that his fiancée was very interesting.
He put his hands behind his back and shook his head, "Brother Jiang is so polite."
He turned to Su Rong and said, "Let's go, go somewhere else, don't disturb others' fun."
The implication is, look at you, bringing me here to show off has scared away your peach blossoms.
Although Su Rong felt that this was not right, she did not understand what it meant. She waved her hand to Jiang Xing, "You can play, we won't disturb you."
After the two left, it was quiet for a while.
Jiang Xing stood there and didn't move for a long time. Someone came over and patted him on the shoulder, sighing, "Zhou Gu, the young master of the Protector's Mansion, is not something we can compare to. Brother Jiang, please put your thoughts aside!"
Someone also came over and said, "I told you not to mess with this woman Su Rong. If you don't listen, that's all. If she doesn't have a marriage contract, that's all. Maybe you will have a chance based on your family background, but who knows, there is someone who has been around since childhood. The engaged fiancé is still the youngest son in the Protectorate's palace, isn't this just a glare?"
"Who is the Duke Protector's house? Why did they book Young Master Zhou with Su Rong? It's really amazing." Someone also came over and asked, "Could it be a concubine?"
Jiang Xing glared at this man angrily, "Didn't you hear? He is his fiancé. How can he be a concubine if he has been engaged since childhood? Does being a concubine require a marriage agreement?"
"Yes, I was wrong." The man quickly apologized, "Brother Jiang, don't be upset."
Jiang Xing has always been gentle and gentle, and rarely falls out with others. Since this person has apologized, he will not say anything more, and just said: "Let's continue playing!"
Everyone looked at each other and nodded in unison. But everyone knew in their hearts that Jiang Xing liked Su Rong. As we all know, if the Jiangzhou governor and his wife had not had a dispute with the prefect's house because Jiang Yunying's engagement was canceled, Jiang Xing would have asked people to come to Su's house to propose marriage.
Fortunately, after a long time of turmoil, Su Rong has already been engaged.
