Su Xing took Zhou Gu out of the house to meet friends, and one of them was Jiang Xing.
When Jiang Xing saw Zhou Gu, he remembered the scene where he and Su Rong traveled to Taohua Creek yesterday. Today he was accompanied by Su Xingze. He felt very bitter in his heart. Zhou Gu's family background was beyond his reach. If he had not been led by the Su Rong brothers here, he would not have been qualified to say a word to Zhou Gu in the capital.
Su Xingze intended to test Zhou Gu. Therefore, he said that he was making friends through literature, but in fact he also intended to test Zhou Gu.
All talented people are somewhat arrogant, and the few people who have good friendships with Su Xingze are naturally not ordinary people. Therefore, on this day, we met friends through literature, from poems and songs to collections of classics and history, from astronomy and geography, to ancient and modern biographies. Not only did Zhou Gu see other people's talents, but he also stayed in the East Palace in order not to fall into the palace of the Protector of the Country. After several years of studying with him, he has gained some real reputation.
Everyone was surprised that Zhou Gu, a young master from a military general's family, had such literary talent, good conversational skills, good knowledge of classics and history, and also dabbled in side sects. It can be seen that he read a lot, probably because he accompanied him to study in the East Palace, so he was quite famous. Everyone's custom.
If Zhou Gu had looked up to him earlier because of his status, by the end of the day, he was impressed by him himself.
The noble young master who was pampered and raised in a high-end mansion did not have nothing in his belly. It was not rumored that he had been fooling around in the study room when he was a child, and even his husband was so angry that he complained to His Majesty. This is very impressive.
Su Xingze didn't expect Zhou Gu to have something real in his stomach, and was a little surprised, but thinking about it, if he was really a trash-talking idiot, how could he have been studying in the East Palace with him for many years without being kicked out by the teachers of the Prince of the East Palace? It can be seen that he has merit and it is not as rumored.
The reason why these people, including Su Xingze, think that Zhou Gu is shallow in literary talent is also related to the fact that he and Xie Lin, the young prince of the Ruian Palace, had a dandy style of robbing women. Not long ago, Su Rong was right. , indeed because of that incident, it was harmful to Zhou Gufeng Criticism.
As the saying goes, good things don’t go out and bad things spread thousands of miles, so they are here.
At noon, Su Xingze took Zhou Gu to eat lunch outside. In the evening, when it was getting dark, the two of them just returned home.
Zhou Gu thought to himself that he was indeed the one who could control Su Rong. On this day, Su Xingze searched everything in his stomach and couldn't hide it even if he wanted to.
After returning to the house, it was almost time for dinner. After taking a shower and changing clothes, the two went to the front hall.
Su Rong was caught working by the eldest lady. She was tired after a day and felt dizzy. In order to get rid of those account books, she ran to the front hall early to wait for others and took the opportunity to wake herself up.
Therefore, when Zhou Gu and Su Xingze came to the front hall, they saw Su Rong sitting under the window of the front hall, with a wilted head and a head like an eggplant beaten by frost. It all conveys the aura of "I'm so tired, I'm exhausted, please help me."
Su Xingze paused and asked her, "Why are you sitting here?"
Su Rong said lazily: "Tired. Let's get some air."
Su Xingze was speechless. If he hadn't known about Su Rong's virtues, he would have been deceived by her appearance. When she was little, she followed the Zhenwei Escort Agency to the grasslands of northern Hebei. It took a few months for her to come back, alive and kicking. , I didn’t say I was tired at that time, I just looked at the account book for a day, how could I be so tired?
But Zhou Gu didn't understand. He was deceived by Su Rong's appearance. He couldn't bear it when he saw her tired and listless expression, like a wilted cabbage. "Aunt Su is very strict." Is it harsh? You had a hard time studying?"
Su Rong nodded, "Mother is very strict."
He stared at her and asked her to read through all the account books piled on the table that were going to be taught to her. He also asked someone to take out all the account books from the house. She couldn't read them all in three days! Comparable to a landlord’s evil mother-in-law!
Zhou Gu was actually a little tired, and Su Xingze stayed with him for one day, which was more tiring than him and Su Rong traveling around for three days. It was really tiring, but he gained a lot. To be honest, the few people who were close friends with Su Xingze did have real things in their stomachs, and their characters seemed to be decent and worthy of friendship. Among them, Jiang Xing has the best literary talent.
Zhou Gu asked Su Xingze tentatively: "Actually, Auntie doesn't need to be too strict. What do you think, Brother Su?"
Su Xing smiled lightly and said, "Be strict, it will be good for her in the future, so that the housekeeper will not be in a mess in the future."
Zhou Gu looked at Su Rong's pitiful state and almost blurted out, "I'll help her in the future." Fortunately, he was alert and didn't say it out loud. He said in his heart that he was so sorry. He no longer pitied Su Rong and said to her, "Then you Just bear with it, there’s nothing you can do about it.”
Su Rong: "..."
The main reason why she sat here deliberately was to make Zhou Gu feel sorry for him and to make her unable to bear it. What the hell is this?
She looked at Zhou Gu sadly and asked him: "Zhou Gu, did you have fun today?"
Zhou Gu couldn't say he was unhappy in front of Su Xingze, so he nodded, "Yeah, I'm happy."
Su Rong sighed and stood up slowly, "As long as you are happy."
The implication is, I’m not happy, and that’s okay, right?
Zhou Gu understood, touched his nose, and thought, what if during dinner later, he would tactfully mention to the eldest lady, asking her to be a little more relaxed and not to be too harsh? He was the fourth in the family. He had his grandmother and mother in the inner house, as well as the eldest sister-in-law, the second sister-in-law, and the third sister-in-law who would marry into the family in the future. She, the youngest, only had her own small yard, so she really didn't need to worry too much.
At this moment, Zhou Gu didn't realize that he had gone from resisting to marry Su Rong in front of the old Protector to now, in just a few days, he no longer resisted marrying Su Rong.
Everyone in the front hall has already taken their seats, only waiting for Zhou Gu and Su Xingze.
Su Rong was still sitting next to Zhou Gu, and seemed to have lost the energy to eat. After taking two bites, Zhou Gu turned his head and looked at her, "Why don't you eat?"
"Tired." Su Ronglei was indeed a little tired, but not to the point where he didn't even have the strength to hold chopsticks.
Zhou Gu was silent for a moment, then turned to the lady who was looking at her and said tactfully: "Auntie, learning to be a master is not something that can be accomplished in a day. How about being a little more general?"
The eldest lady thought to herself, how could Su Rong be a housekeeper? She was trying to find errors in her account books. In one day, she found four or five stewards, from the shop to the village to the middle-aged man in the palace. They all had problems. She lost her temper and lost her temper. After a long discussion, the remaining stewards who have not been found out are all in danger. This little thing seems to be born to handle accounts and knows more than others. How can she have anything to teach her? It's nothing more than forcing her to work.
But of course she wouldn't say it openly. Except for her, Yue Wan, and Wang Ma, no one in the mansion knew what Su Rong was doing that day, not even the dismissed stewards. Knowing how she could see so many problems at once, I thought she had been saving it for them to use when teaching Miss Seven how to run a business.
She coughed and said, "What Nephew Zhou Xian said is true. I also think it's too much and not enough. Let's do this. Starting from tomorrow, we will only study for half a day."
