Yuewan waited for a long time and saw that the meal was served, but Su Rong did not come out. The door was closed. She thought that the young lady was in a bad mood again? Whenever she was in a bad mood, she would lock herself in the room.
She lay on the crack of the door and shouted softly: "Miss, it's time to eat!"
Su Rong said "Yeah", put away the dagger and walked out of the room.
Yue Wan looked at Su Rong with a concerned look on her face, "Miss, are you okay?"
Su Rong waved her hands and said with a very calm expression, "It's okay."
Although Yuewan is not very smart, she is not stupid either. Because she has followed Su Rong since she was a child, she can keenly sense that she must be in a bad mood. But when Su Rong said it was okay, she stopped asking any more questions. She still knew. When to talk more and when to talk less.
Although Zhou Gu didn't get along with Su Rong for a long time, he got to know her somewhat. He clearly felt that Su Rong was very quiet today, quiet when eating, quiet when walking, even when they were sitting in the waterside pavilion, she was quiet. I didn't joke with him as much as before.
She seemed to have something on her mind, but her face was calm and did not reveal anything.
Zhou Gu hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Su Rong, something is wrong with you today. What happened?"
"My eldest brother found me a tutor to teach me the rules, you know that, right?" Su Rong lay on the table and sighed, "Hey, it's so difficult to learn the rules. I don't want to learn them anymore."
Zhou Gu didn't expect it to be because of this. He wanted to say, "Since you don't want to learn, then don't learn." But he also thought that Su Xingze asked her to learn the rules so that she could adapt to the rules of the Protector's Palace when she married into their family. For a moment he couldn't say anything he didn't want to learn.
Su Rong looked at Zhou Gu and saw the troubled look on his face. She suddenly smiled and said, "Zhou Gu, I am here to learn the rules for you. Do you have any reward for me?"
Zhou Gugang wanted to refute, why are you just learning the rules for me? But he felt that what she said seemed to make sense. If it weren't for marrying into the Protector's Palace, Su Xingze would naturally not ask her to teach her, so he asked, "What reward do you want?"
Su Rong didn't expect that he really agreed with her statement, and her mind suddenly wandered a little. Looking at his handsome appearance of Yuxiu standing tall and straight, she said with some itching, "I want you to hug me."
Zhou Gu's expression froze.
Su Rong sat up straight, turned around and faced him, "When I was a child, every time I was in a bad mood, my elder brother would hug me."
Zhou Gu couldn't stretch out his hand and said stiffly: "I don't know how to hug people."
Ever since he could remember, he had never been hugged or hugged by anyone.
Su Rong stretched out her hand to him, "You take two steps forward, and then just stand there, I will hold you, I can do it myself."
Zhou Gu couldn't move.
Su Rong sighed, turned around, leaned back on the table, and whispered depressedly: "Seeing how reluctant you are, forget it."
Her fiancé is indifferent to women. I don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. Such a beautiful little girl like her came to his door to hold, but he wouldn't hold her and wouldn't talk about love at all.
When Zhou Gu saw Su Rong giving up, he should have breathed a sigh of relief, but for some reason, he always felt out of sorts. He thought he couldn't bear to see her looking so wilted and depressed, and wanted to step forward and say something to her. He said, "I'll just give you a hug.", but he still restrained himself, walked stiffly to the opposite side of her, sat down, looked at her, and said, "Change the reward."
Su Rong was silent.
Zhou Gu couldn't help but soften his voice, with a hint of coaxing, "Except for this, I promise you anything you say."
Su Rong blinked, "Really?"
"Um."
Su Rong sat up straight again, held her chin, and thought for a moment, "I took you to the third floor that day. Don't be angry with me anymore."
Zhou Gu looked blank, "That's it?"
"Well, that's it." In fact, she couldn't think of any other reward. Apart from being greedy for Zhou Gu, she didn't lack anything else.
"I'm not angry anymore, let's change it." Zhou Gu was actually still very angry, but now he couldn't be angry anymore.
"Then..." Su Rong thought as long as she didn't get angry. After thinking about it, she realized that she was indeed going too far. After all, she was Zhou Gu's fiancée. She just took Zhou Gu to Zuihua House and Rouge House, but she still did it. She took him to Feng Yue Tower, but who would have thought that that bad guy Feng Yue would actually dig a hole for her? Putting himself in the shoes of his fiancée, he took him to see the skimpy young man in shabby clothes. Zhou Gu only blushed at that time. , pulled her away, and beat her out of breath, he was already strong enough.
She thought for a while, then suddenly thought of something, and asked him: "When do you plan to return to Beijing?"
"After you get your hair done."
"Next few days?"
"One or two days!" Zhou Gu thought that he had been in Jiangning for a long time, and after the ceremony, he had no reason to stay any longer.
Su Rong nodded. It was only a few days before she got married. If he left after she got married, it wouldn't be many days. She was a little reluctant to let him go. Once he left, she didn't know when they would see each other again. After all, Jiangning was so far away. The capital is thousands of miles away.
Zhou Gu also thought about it. Although he was tired every day being accompanied by Su Xingze in Jiangning, this place was really nice, the folk customs were simple, there were no intrigues, and there were not so many rules and etiquette that restricted him from letting go. It was very comfortable to stay there. . The harmonious atmosphere of the Su family is also very comfortable. He was a little reluctant to leave.
"I can't think of anything else now, so I'll save the reward for later when I think of something else!" Su Rong stood up, "Let's go, go back."
Zhou Gu looked blank, "Going back so early?"
"Go to bed early and get up early."
Zhou Gu looked at her and wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say. He could only follow her out of the waterside pavilion calmly.
After returning to the guest house, Zhou Gu couldn't sleep for a while, so he picked up the sleeping Cuiyu who was lying on his bed and played with it.
Cuiyu was woken up, opened her eyes and glanced at Zhou Gu, then closed her eyes again and continued to sleep in his hand.
Zhou Gu was speechless, "You little thing, since you followed me, you have eaten and slept, and slept and eaten. Will it be possible that after entering this prefect's residence, whether you are a human or a bird, you will become lazy?"
He has seen a lot these days. From top to bottom, the people in the governor's mansion are not diligent. Even if the servants in the mansion are working, they are all lazy and their hands and feet are not quick. There was a sense of laziness and comfort in the entire mansion.
In particular, he heard that Su Rong's dog was the laziest. He couldn't hear it barking for a month. He only ate and slept, and he was very fat.
This bird has been following him for a few days, doing nothing but eating and sleeping. If it continues like this, he will doubt that its wings are rusty and it won't be able to fly.
Zhou Gu played with Cuiyu for a while, then put it down and lay on the bed, thinking that he hadn't told Su Rong yet that he didn't want to take part in this year's scientific examination and wanted to travel.
If he returns from Jiangning this time and his grandfather asks him what he thinks about the marriage, he will just nod his head. He has no doubt that his grandfather will rush people to Jiangning to discuss the marriage. Once the marriage is discussed, the wedding date will be set. After six rites, he would be able to marry Su Rong within a year at the very least.
But this went against his plan.
Unless Su Rong is asked to wait for him and postpone the wedding date, will Su Rong wait? She had said that the eldest lady was waiting for her to marry into the Duke Protector's Palace so that her sisters could discuss marriages.
Zhou Gu closed his eyes and felt very irritable for a while.
Su Rong had a good night's sleep. When she woke up, her face was flushed and tender, and she was in great spirits.
Yue Wan glanced at her secretly, thinking that the lady was in a good mood again, how nice it was. It can be seen that Mr. Zhou is still better at coaxing people than she is.
After Su Rong had eaten, it was still early and Aunt Zhao hadn't come yet, so she took a painting book and lay on the recliner to read.
Cuiyu flew in from the window and landed on Su Rong's shoulder.
"Ah, what a beautiful little bird." Yuewan was curious and surprised, "Miss, why doesn't this bird look like it's not afraid of people at all? It actually flew into the house."
"It's called Cuiyu, and it was raised by Zhou Gu." Su Rong hasn't seen this little thing since he took it down the mountain that day. When he usually saw Zhou Gu, he didn't see it following Zhou Gu. How did Gu raise it?
When Cuiyu saw Su Rong touching it, he jumped into her palm, rolled in her palm, and then tilted his head to rub it against her palm.
Yuewan opened her eyes wide, and she actually saw a greasy, sticky, close feeling in a bird that she missed after not seeing each other for a long time.
Su Rong was in a good mood and said to Yuewan: "Go grab a handful of millet and give it to it!"
Yuewan nodded and went out to grab a handful of millet to feed it. Cuiyu looked at it and turned his head away with disgust in his eyes. Yuewan was shocked, "Miss, am I reading that right? It actually dislikes millet? Doesn't it want to eat it?"
"Well, it doesn't eat." Su Rong has never fed this little thing, so she doesn't know what it eats if it doesn't eat millet. "Go and ask Zhou Gu, what does it usually eat?"
Yue Wan nodded and turned around.
