Su Rong confidently pointed to her forehead, "I always get injured in fights with others, which costs a lot of medical expenses."
Seeing Zhou Gu looking at her, he said again: "Before you came to Jiangning, didn't I have a bruise on my forehead in the fight with Chen Zhou? I was afraid of scarring, so I used a bottle of Ningzhi Intermittent Cream. This money will never be given to me." It comes from the dowry I saved."
Zhou Gu was speechless when he remembered that she had mentioned it, "It's really embarrassing for Aunt Su."
If his mother had such a prodigal daughter, she probably wouldn't have the good manners of a eldest lady, and she would have been beaten to death long ago if she still spoiled her.
Su Rong sighed. What she didn't say was that she spent money on medical expenses for a reason. It wasn't as simple as fighting with others. She was often assassinated. In order not to make people worry, she could only stir up trouble and fight with others. Cover up. It's better to tell the eldest lady that I got into a fight with someone for some reason today than to tell her that I was almost killed again today, right? At least it won't scare her so much that she will be locked in the house and won't let her go out to rape her.
"Have you saved enough for your dowry?" Consultant Zhou.
"Have you saved enough?" Su Rong was not sure. She was embarrassed to say that she planned to only wear the sedan.
"Then why don't you fight less in the future?" Zhou Gu originally wanted to say, "Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't save enough for your dowry." But he felt that this was wrong, so he changed his mind and said, "Don't let Aunt Su worry more! "
Su Rong nodded, "Okay!"
Anyway, after her three days of winter training and three days of summer training, her skills are now incapable of being killed by ordinary people. And those who want to kill her, as long as she does not leave Jiangning, they will not brazenly send a large number of people to kill them. , she doesn’t need to get herself hurt all the time.
She asked: "Shall we go back and rest?"
Zhou Gu nodded.
Su Rong walked into her yard. Zhou Gu walked in the opposite direction to her. After walking a few steps, he looked back at her and saw her slender back in the night. The moonlight shone on her body, and her color was gentle. If you look at it like this, why? Seeing how the years had passed, her temperament had nothing to do with her appearance. He smiled and turned back.
Su Rong turned back after he turned around, and saw Zhou Gu's tall figure standing far away. The moonlight was flowing on the young man's body, and the moonlight cast a clear light on his body. His unique grace made people unable to look away. Eye. She thought, Zhou Gu was so nice. She didn't know if she would be lucky enough to marry him.
Zhou Gu's letter was sent to the hands of Yan Huisheng, the crown prince of the East Palace, two days later.
At this time, it had only been one day since he had sent someone to deliver a message. Yan Huisheng had already arranged for people to thoroughly investigate the Nanping Marquis Mansion and the Jiangzhou Governor's Mansion. Now he had received a letter from Zhou Gu, along with his letter. He was quite surprised by the letters and tokens sent to him by Nanping Hou Shizi Ningchi.
"Your Highness, open the letter quickly and see what that boy wrote in his letter?" Taifu Qin was here.
Yan Huisheng nodded. He first opened Zhou Gu's letter, read it, and handed it to Taifu Qin. Then he opened Ning Chi's letter, read it, and handed it to Taifu Qin.
After reading the letter with Yan Huisheng, Qin Taifu was a little happy, "I thought this guy was out of tune, but I didn't expect that he left the capital and went to Jiangning. But he is out of tune and knows how to recruit talents for His Highness."
Yan Hui laughed and said, "Master, you always have too high demands on Zhou Gu. Over the years, Zhou Gu has complained that he never hears you praise him."
The Taifu's beard curled up, "I'm afraid that if I praise him, my tail will go up to the sky."
Yan Huisheng shook his head with a smile, picked up Ningchi's jade plaque, took a look at it, put it down, and asked Taifu Qin: "In Taifu's opinion, how should this matter be handled?"
"Since Prince Ning sincerely surrenders, His Highness will naturally take him in. But first, we must help Prince Ning break the situation so that he is no longer constrained by the Marquis of Nanping, so that he can use his fists and kicks to help His Highness." Taifu Qin stroked his beard , "Last time His Highness was assassinated in Jiangning, we haven't found out who was responsible. But now that we know that Jiang Sheng intends to seek refuge with the eldest prince, I am afraid that His Highness's assassination is inseparable from him. If he kills you, he should be asking for help." The eldest prince surrendered. In this case, if we don't move him first, it will naturally break the situation that Prince Ning is unwilling to marry Jiang Sheng's daughter. We will solve his predicament first. After moving Jiang Sheng, we will see the reaction of Marquis Nanping before we can go further. Discuss the next strategy.”
Yan Hui nodded, "It's easy to move Jiang Sheng. Just point the clue of my assassination to Jiang Sheng. But after Jiang Sheng moves, who will succeed Jiangzhou's governor?"
"Su Xu, the governor of Jiangning, has been in Jiangning for more than ten years. It's time for him to move, right? He can't retire as the governor of Jiangnan."
"Su Xu has no ambition. He seems to be planning to die of old age in Jiangning." Yan Hui thought for a moment, "But Gu Dao is also curious. The old Duke actually booked a concubine from his family for Zhou Gu. I wonder if there are others here. Inside story."
"The old Duke has a very strict mouth, and he didn't even tell Zhou Gu the reason. I'm afraid it's not simple. Now that the news of the engagement between the Duke Protector's Palace and the Su Prefect's Palace has spread, even His Majesty seems a little shocked." Qin Taifu said : "Veteran, I have sent people to investigate recently, but nothing has been found so far."
Yan Hui nodded, "Although my father suppressed Gu, he did not restrict the Duke Protector's government from interacting with Gu."
Taifu Qin sighed, "Your Majesty is getting more and more..."
He wanted to say something, but there was no need to say anything that he knew well, so he simply stopped talking and continued: "But no matter what the inside story is, it is a fact that the Duke Protector's Palace and the Prefect's Palace have an engagement. At this time If he takes the opportunity to promote Su Xu, His Majesty will definitely not object. Furthermore, although Su Xu was appointed as the governor of Jiangzhou, he did not leave Jiangning. Jiangning was still under his jurisdiction, and Su Xu himself should not have any Opinion. Besides, the lintel of a concubine in the prefect’s mansion is too low. Although the concubines in Jiangzhou’s governor’s mansion are not good enough, their status is always improved a bit."
Yan nodded in response, "Zhou Gu's letter didn't say how he got along with Miss Su Qi, but since he has the intention to introduce Ning Chi to Gu, he must get along well with her."
Grand Tutor Qin said: "It is good that this marriage is successful and that he will start a family and start a career. He will not be too out-of-touch and will settle down and enter the court to assist His Highness."
Yan Huisheng recalled that when Zhou Gu left, he said that he did not want to take the scientific examination this year. He wondered if Zhou Gu would go to Jiangning and change his mind when he came back. He suppressed it for the time being and did not mention it to Taifu Qin. After thinking for a while, he said: "Send someone to Nanping, take Gu's token and give it to Ningchi."
"This matter is very serious, and we must send a suitable person." Taifu Qin's mind turned back to Ningchi, "We cannot let Nanping Marquis know that Ningchi has taken refuge with us."
Yan Hui nodded.
