Su Rongxiao glanced at Zhou Gu and thought that Zhou Gu could use her but others could not. Is this a good sign? She turned away and washed her hands.
After Ning Chi finished writing the letter, he sealed it with wax and gave it to Zhou Gu together with his jade pendant.
Zhou Gu called someone and told him, "Secretly send him back to the capital and hand him over to His Highness the Crown Prince."
This person should have retreated.
At midnight, he came back from buying wine. He bought eleven jars of wine for a thousand taels of silver.
Zhou Gu saw it and asked, "Isn't it a jar of one hundred liang?"
Ziye scratched his head, "The shopkeeper who smiled at the welcome guest asked me if I was the person Mr. Zhou sent to buy wine. I said yes, and the shopkeeper said that since I was from Mr. Zhou, she did it for Miss Su Qi's sake. , give a jar as a gift.”
"Oh?" Zhou Gu looked at Su Rong, "Why are you so proud?"
Su Rong thought to herself that she would lose face, so she would not tell the truth. Instead, she said, "I have some friendship with Lan Niang."
"It shows that you often ask her to sell wine." Zhou Gu commented.
Su Rong touched her nose and said, "That's right!"
She doesn't spend any money on wine.
Zhou Gu wondered, "How does she know you are mine?"
"I asked her, did Miss Su Qi buy wine here yesterday?" Ziye looked at me with an expression that made me smart and quick to praise me.
Zhou Gu was speechless, "You might as well write a sign and put it on your face."
He turned to Su Rong and said curiously: "If you write the words "I am Miss Su Qi's fiancé" on your face, will the entire Jiangning County buy into your account?"
Su Ronxiao said, "I don't know either, why don't you give it a try?"
Zhou Gu thought that Su Rong even knew the fisherman on the fishing boat and the wine shopkeeper, and maybe even more people. After all, she also said that she had been hanging out outside the house for a long time.
"Leave us five altars, no, six altars, you can take the rest and divide them among us!" Zhou Gu waved his hand.
In response, Midnight put six jars of wine on the table and carried the rest down. In addition to the guards from the Duke Protector's Mansion and the guards from Ningchi, a group of people occupied the lobby downstairs.
The boy brought the food to Zhou Gu's room. Zhou Gu opened the wine jar, poured wine from a bowl, and touched Ningchi's wine bowl. "You go back to Nanping and wait for the news. After His Royal Highness receives the letter, , should send someone to Nanping to meet you."
Ning Chi nodded, "Okay, then I'll wait for the people sent by His Highness the Crown Prince."
The two of them drank it all in one gulp, enjoying themselves very much.
Seeing that they were drinking happily, Su Rong picked up the bowl and drank it all.
Zhou Gu was not surprised, he just glanced at Su Rong and said nothing. Ning Chi was shocked and looked at Su Rong, "Is Miss Su Qi a good drinker?"
Su Rong put down the empty bowl and said, "Well, it's not bad!"
Ning Chi was impressed, "It's rare to see a woman drink as much as a man."
"When I was a kid, I dared to try anything. Lan Niang was learning to make wine, and she was the shopkeeper who welcomed guests with a smile. She was sitting in the wine shop making wine. I was very bored and had nothing to do, so I squatted in the wine shop to accompany her. Looking at her, this drunken flower drink was brewed by her, and I was the first one to taste it. She loved wine, and every time I went back, if she didn’t make me tea, she would throw me a jar of wine. I was thirsty. Just drink it, go back and forth, and over time, you will get it right."
Ning Chi was shocked, "Is this still possible?" He smiled, "Miss Seventh is really special, different from all the women I have seen."
"You mean I'm too casual and don't have any rules, right?" Su Rong poured herself another glass of wine, "Don't be so tactful. Just talk and don't worry about me."
Ning Chi shook his head, "Most women in the world are reserved and restrained. Except for a few women's families, most of them can't let go because of boudoir etiquette. It's very rare for the seventh lady to have such a temperament."
Just when Su Rong was about to say something, Zhou Gu glared at Ning Chi, "Oh, that's enough for you. She doesn't need you to look special."
Ning Chi laughed and apologized quickly, "Sorry, Brother Zhou, I talked too much at the moment, Haihan." He picked up the wine bowl and said, "I'll punish myself with a bowl."
Zhou Gu nodded and casually knocked Su Rong on the head, "You are a weak and weak girl, don't be so bold and scare people, do you hear me? Don't imitate us, just sip your drink."
Su Rong tilted her head and smiled, "Okay."
After listening to Zhou Gu's words, she took a sip from the wine bowl and stopped talking.
Zhou Gu and Ning Chi chatted while drinking. Su Rong listened to them going back and forth, thinking about her fiancé. Although he was young, he had a lot of things in his mind and stomach. He was born in the Duke Protector's Palace, and had studied with him in the East Palace for several years. He had learned all the orthodox things. Zhifeng's words are meaningful and his chest is full of hills and valleys. Ningchi is older than him, but he is vaguely led by him. If he grows older, it will be great.
Ning Chi, who was talking to Zhou Guyan, was even more surprised. Many people mentioned the young master of the Duke Protector's Mansion and remembered how he flew into a rage when he was angry with his husband in the study room. However, no one mentioned that he had been studying in the East Palace with him for several years. , learned something. Now he finally realizes it. By just contacting Zhou Gu, can we glimpse the tip of the iceberg of His Royal Highness?
The Crown Prince of the East Palace is well known to the world for his demeanor, and I am afraid he will live up to his reputation. Your Majesty feels that the Crown Prince has become a threat to him. From this point of view, it is indeed true.
After three rounds of drinking, it was already getting late, Zhou Gu was still sober, but Ningchi was a little less drunk and was faintly drunk.
Ning Chi was a very restrained person and shook his head at Zhou Gu, "Brother Zhou, I can't drink anymore. If I drink any more, I'll lose my composure."
Zhou Gu nodded, "Then you don't have to drink."
He turned to Su Rong, "You drank a jar of wine and you are not even half drunk. The rest of the jar should be divided between the two of you?"
Just when Su Rong was about to say yes, he heard a series of footsteps coming from outside. Then, Ziye opened the door and came in, "Young Master, Mr. Su is here. He said he would pick you and Miss Su Qi up."
Zhou Gu was startled.
Su Rong retracted his hand to fill the wine jar, turned around and asked, "My eldest brother is here? Where is he?"
"Wait at the door."
Su Rong scratched her head and said to Zhou Gu: "It seems that no one needs to drink this wine. My eldest brother must think that it is against the rules for me to stay in an inn outside like you. Seeing that I haven't returned home, he came here Catch me."
She stood up and said, "Let's go back home, shall we? There's no need to hide from Jiang Sheng anyway. We can live comfortably back home."
Zhou Gu nodded, although he was reluctant to move, but Su Xingze came to pick him up in person in the middle of the night. He had no choice but to stand up and pat Ning Chi on the shoulder, "Brother Ning, we are back to the city, you have to leave tomorrow." , I won’t give it away.”
"Brother Zhou, you're too polite. There's no need to send it off." Ning Chi said with a smile: "I heard that Su Xingze of Jiangning is the best in the south of the Yangtze River. His words turn into chapters, his writing turns into articles, and his ink turns into gold. It is predicted that he will have the talent of a minister. Brother Zhou and Qi Please, miss, I will go out with you to meet you."
Su Rong thought to herself that this was not an exaggeration. For a few years, when she was short of money, she would go to her elder brother's study to steal a poem and sell it, so that she could have money. Later, when he found out, she didn't dare to do it anymore.
