While talking, Yue Wan set the dishes, and Su Rong and Zhou Gu stopped talking about Xie Lin.
The Su family does not pay attention to eating, talking or sleeping. There is no such rule when the whole family is sitting at the same table, let alone just Su Rong and Zhou Gu.
So Su Rong chatted some other gossip with Zhou Gu while eating. Zhou Gu got used to it. The two of them chatted while eating and unknowingly ate too much.
Su Rong stood all day today, not wanting to move. After eating, she sat on a chair and yawned, "I don't want to take a walk today."
Zhou Gu looked at her, "Isn't it time for haircut ceremony tomorrow? Even if Su Mansion comes to see relatives and friends today, you don't need to entertain them. Why are you so tired today?"
"I didn't need to entertain people, but my mother insisted on taking me with her to entertain people." Su Rong felt tired, "My mother told me to learn a little bit."
She looked at Zhou Gu's handsome face, which looked so pure under the shadow of the lamp, and sighed, "My mother said, I'm already old enough to have haircuts, so I have to learn these things to avoid marrying you and not being able to take care of the inner house and welcome gifts." I can't let you do anything."
Zhou Gu felt that the lady's words made sense and nodded unconsciously.
Su Rong stared at his face and wanted to say, "If you weren't so good-looking and handsome, and it was so troublesome to marry you, I would regret the marriage now." But she couldn't say anything, so she just sighed again, "Hey, please order What kind of head are you? Aren't you the youngest in the family? There are so many sisters-in-law above, so even if I marry you, you don't need me to do such a thing, right? "
Zhou Gu Xiangxiang felt that this made sense and nodded again, "Yes."
Su Rong looked at him, "But mother said, you have to start your own business, right?"
"My grandparents built it here, so we won't separate the family." Zhou Gu paused, "But one day, we should be able to separate and stand on our own."
Since ancient times, no brothers have been tied together for life.
Su Rong thought of her assumptions that had been rejected by the eldest lady, and asked Zhou Gu, "Well, do you have any ideas? Can I ignore these trivial matters in the house?"
"Leave it to the steward?"
"What about dealing with the ladies of various houses?"
Zhou Gu thought about it carefully. Even with his mother's status and being in charge of such a large inner house, she also needed to deal with a lot of honors. Princes, grandsons, nobles, and relatives always had to come and go, and there were always banquets for birthdays. It seemed that they were busy all year round. No one can replace her. Since the eldest sister-in-law got married, she has been able to help her mother to some extent, but sometimes others cannot replace the things that the mother should do.
He shook his head, "There is no way."
Unless we thank guests behind closed doors and never socialize, that is impossible. Where there are people, there are these etiquette things to welcome and send off.
Su Rong held her chin with her hands, "If you don't marry, will you not have this trouble?"
Zhou Gu: "..."
He was silent and nodded, "Really?"
He didn't know and couldn't answer this question.
Su Rong yawned again, tears almost came out, and said softly: "I can't do it anymore, I'm really sleepy."
Seeing her like this, Zhou Gu seemed like she couldn't walk any further today. He stood up and told her, "Let Yuewan get you some hawthorns to help you digest your food. You go back to bed so that you don't accumulate food."
Su Rong felt that Zhou Gu was really attentive and considerate in some aspects. He was not like a young man who had been pampered since childhood and only cared about himself. She nodded and stood up, "Brother Zhou, go slowly, don't send me off." ”
Zhou Gu nodded, turned and left.
After Zhou Gu left, Yuewan slipped into the house and saw Su Rong entering the back room. She followed him in with a smile, "Miss, young master Zhou has no airs, no bad temper, and a good temper. Not only the master and the eldest lady praised him, but everyone in the house praised him." My aunts and ladies are also envious of you, and many people outside the house also speak highly of Young Master Zhou. When you reach your age and Young Master Zhou returns to Beijing, will your marriage be finalized?"
"I don't know!" Su Rong didn't have anything dissatisfied with Zhou Gu. If she did, it was because her family had a big business and the person who wanted to kill her would not let her marry into the Duke Protector's Palace smoothly.
While making the bed, Yue Wan said: "The eldest lady has said today that she will choose a nun and a maid for your dowry. In these years, you have only had me by your side, but you are getting married, so you can't just bring me with you, right?" "
"Isn't it still early? It hasn't been completely decided yet. Mother is planning to do it now. Isn't it too early?"
"It's too late, madam." Yuewanxuxu said, "I have to choose someone in advance, and I have to come to you in advance to serve you, and get used to it for a while. The time is too short, and I'm afraid I won't be able to use it after entering the Duke Protector's Mansion."
Su Rong sighed, "My mother keeps an eye on my affairs all day long. Her urgent attitude almost makes me think that I will get married tomorrow."
Yue Wan giggled and said, "Isn't this young master Zhou a wonderful person? Of course the eldest lady should be more positive. You can't make any mistakes in this marriage."
Su Rong pinched her face, "Why are you so happy?"
Yue Wan's eyebrows were curved, with a look of expectation, "I hope you will marry into the Duke Protector's house and become prosperous, and buy me all the food in the capital." After finishing her words, she added, "There is also Ahua's."
Su Rong was speechless, "Why can't your dream be a little higher?"
"How high?"
Su Rong took off his coat and lay down on the bed, "If we take down all the dim sum shops in the capital and turn them into our own private property, wouldn't it mean that you can eat whatever you want?"
Yuewan: "..."
Is this something that a little girl like her can think about?
The next day, Su Rong and Ji Li were called by Wang Ma and others early in the morning before dawn.
Su Rong went to bed early yesterday. Even if she was woken up early in the morning, she still had enough sleep. After bathing and changing clothes, Wang Ma led someone to dress her up. Aunt Zhao also came early to help Su Rong put on her makeup.
Aunt Zhao was skillful and careful. She was applying makeup to Su Rong while praising her, "Miss Seventh, your skin is delicate and porcelain white. Your face is so blessed that it can withstand any makeup. I will apply it to you today." Let’s put on a brighter makeup look!”
Su Rong had no objection.
Wang Ma asked in a low voice from the side: "Our seventh lady is already beautiful. If we are too bright, will it be too eye-catching?"
"It's just to catch people's attention." Aunt Zhao said: "There are many girls in the family, and today is the day to look at. Although the seventh lady is engaged to Young Master Zhou, there is no need for others to cross the threshold, but precisely because of this, The talents must be extremely grand. Let all the guests see that the seventh lady is not in any way unworthy of Young Master Zhou's status."
Wang Ma thought about it and agreed with a smile, "Just listen to grandma."
Nowadays, it is said in the capital that many people are saying that Su Taishou’s Mansion owes a lot to the Protector’s Mansion, allowing the old Protector to sell his grandson to a concubine of the Su family. Although they dare not say it openly, they do not dare to say it openly. There has been much discussion in private. Even if the Lord Protector wanted to stop it, he couldn't stop this rumor. Although it is true, the Su family members are not comfortable hearing it. Their seventh lady is very good. With her appearance, she is worthy of being a queen in the palace. Why is she not worthy of Young Master Zhou?
Aunt Zhao’s hands are extremely skillful. After an hour, Su Rong’s makeup was completed.
Su Rong looked at herself in the mirror, almost not recognizing her. She blinked, the person in the mirror blinked, she pursed her lips, the person in the mirror pursed her lips, she pinched her ears, the mirror The girl pinched her ears. After several attempts, Su Rong was sure that this beautiful woman was her.
She had always known that she was beautiful, but she didn't know that her face could become so beautiful under the skill of Aunt Zhao.
Wang Ma repeatedly praised, "Oh, Aunt Zhao, your unique skill is really amazing. Our seventh lady is so beautiful today."
Yuewan also came forward to look, with a surprised look on his face, "Miss, you are still my lady, right?"
Su Rong turned around and pinched Yuewan's face, "Look at me carefully, okay?"
Yue Wan groaned in pain, covered her face and looked at Su Rong, her eyes gleaming, "Miss, you are so pretty, aren't you?"
Su Rong also felt that she looked good. She reached her back and touched the ends of her hair and thanked Aunt Zhao, "Thank you, Auntie, for your hard work."
Aunt Zhao smiled and shook her head, "It's not hard for me."
She also sighed in her heart, Miss Seven's appearance, even if it were taken to the capital, would be top-notch.
Wang Ma glanced at the hourglass and urged with a smile, "Let's go, the time is coming."
Su Rong nodded, and several people gathered around her and went to the front hall.
