Su Rong was stunned. When Zhou Gu returned to Beijing, she followed him into Beijing?
She looked at Zhou Gu, isn't this good?
When Zhou Gu blurted out this suggestion, he was also very excited. When he saw Su Rong was stunned, he calmed down instantly and was speechless for a while.
He remembered that before he left Beijing, he told his grandfather that he would not marry Su Rong. He also scorned his grandfather and was scolded by his grandfather. Now, in just one month, he actually invited Su Rong to come to Beijing with him. , although he was here for the rare books in the library, the fact that he no longer resisted Su Rong made him feel slapped in the face.
Seeing that she was silent after he finished speaking, Su Rong smiled immediately, "Brother Zhou, you just said it casually, right?"
Zhou Gu looked at her, considered for a moment, feeling a little unnatural, "I just said it casually, but it's not impossible." He gave Su Rong a reason, "Anyway, your eldest brother has to go to Beijing to take the exam, and as my younger sister, you can accompany him for the exam. It’s not surprising, is it?”
Su Rongcai would not accompany Su Xingze to take the exam. She was afraid that she would accompany him to take the exam. Su Xingze was worried that she would mess around and get into trouble, which would make her feel uneasy and fail the exam. She shook her head, "I won't accompany him to take the exam."
"Why?" Zhou Gu didn't expect her to refuse so simply.
"My elder brother won't trust me to accompany him for the exam." Su Rong pointed to her forehead.
Zhou Gu remembered that she had a scar on her forehead just before he came, and thought of her ability to make enemies and fight with people everywhere. He was speechless and said, "That's right. If you follow him to Beijing, your elder brother will probably blame you for most of his heart."
Su Rong nodded, "So, there may be a chance in the future!"
Zhou Gu also nodded. He knew that the opportunity she mentioned was probably for him to discuss marriage with her. If he married her, she would come to Beijing. It is also possible that Su Xingze stayed in Beijing to report on his work after high school, and she might also be able to go to Beijing.
It would take him a year to marry her at the earliest, but it would be faster if Su Xingze could stay in Beijing to report on his work after high school.
The excitement in his heart faded, and when he was about to say something, someone hurriedly came outside and stood at the door and asked, "Miss Seventh, is Mr. Zhou here with you?"
"Yes." Su Rong replied.
The person who came immediately opened the door and said, "The master has sent a servant to ask Young Master Zhou to go to the front."
Su Rong looked at Zhou Gu.
Zhou Gu put down the travel diary and stood up, "As expected, I can't hide. I'm going to the front. You..."
"I read by myself." Su Rong waved to him.
Zhou Gu nodded, turned around and left the main room, and went to the front yard with the visitor.
After Zhou Gu left, Su Rong continued to read the painting book, thinking that she could hide away, but Yuewan quickly ran back and called her, "Miss, the eldest lady asked you to go to the garden to have a meal with the elders. Male dependents The banquet has been opened in the front hall over there, and now the banquet for the ladies is about to be opened, waiting for you to go."
After she finished speaking, she complained to Su Rong, "Look at you, did you take off your makeup too early? Are you going to go out so clean now? Should you put on your makeup quickly? I'll call Aunt Zhao again?"
"No need to call Aunt Zhao." Su Rong put down the drawing book and sighed, feeling very helpless. She knew that the eldest lady would not let her stay lazy, so she turned around and entered the inner room, "I will do it myself."
There was no need to change her clothes, and she put makeup on her face again. Compared to Aunt Zhao’s delicate and careful techniques, she did it herself in a simple and rough way. After applying makeup on her face, she put on the peach wood hairpin given to her by Zhou Gu. The hairpin is on the head.
Yuewan does not have a pair of dexterous hands, and Su Rong never uses her, so she has not learned this skill. She can only stand aside and watch Su Rong do it by himself, but this does not prevent her from having a pair of admiring eyes. After finishing cleaning up, she showed an expression of admiration, "Hey, miss, you look good, even if you clean up casually, you will look good. The ladies here today, even if they all dress up, they can't overpower you."
Su Rong looked at herself in the mirror and was very satisfied. She was bright and charming when dressed up, and she was beautiful when dressed up. In short, she is a uniquely beautiful woman, the kind who can rely on her face to make a living even if she doesn't know anything.
Therefore, this is the reason why she has always cared about protecting her face. Even if she begs for food, she can always ask for one more bowl than others.
The master and servant left the Dongkua Courtyard and went to the garden. Sure enough, they saw that the female family members were all sitting and the meals were put on the table.
As soon as Su Rong appeared, the female relatives all looked at her. The eldest lady glared at her when she saw that she had changed her dress in such a short time. This was probably because although her current dress was a bit different, she was good-looking and equally good-looking. , she didn’t say anything.
The elders who came today were all kind, and none of them disliked Su Rong, so the atmosphere was very good.
Su Rong only needs to be well-behaved in front of others, so based on her performance today, many elders have praised her for growing up, being sensible, being stable, etc., all of which are good words.
When the eldest lady saw Su Rong being praised, she felt as if she was being praised, and her back was straighter than before.
Someone asked the eldest lady, "Has Xiao Qi's marriage been completely settled? What did the Protector's Palace say?"
After all, everyone saw Zhou Gu giving a hairpin to Su Rong today. Everyone sitting there at that time had sharp eyes. The hairpin Mr. Zhou took out was not bought somewhere. It was very rough. It looked like he had made it himself. This kind of heart is rare when you do it.
The eldest lady smiled and said: "It has not been completely decided yet. For such a big matter, we need to discuss it with the old Duke in detail."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
The eldest lady glanced at Su Rong, changed her words, and said with a smile: "Although the lintel of the Protector's Mansion is high, our family is not one that likes to cling to others. Although the engagement has been made long ago, now we still have to look at Xiao Qi. My own wishes. Her father and I both follow her wishes."
The implication is that if Xiao Qi is not happy with it, the marriage will not be possible, and it is not the whole point of protecting the Duke's palace.
An old lady sighed after hearing this, "It's always been the parents who ordered the matchmaker. Both you and her father dote on the child too much."
The eldest lady smiled and said: "How can you not love your own children?"
Everyone sitting here looked at the eldest lady. As a eldest lady, no one could compare to her aunt. She is really famous in Jiangning County for doting on Su Rong. Not only Su Rong, but also other concubines in the Su family, she had never treated harshly.
Someone asked in a low voice: "Xiao Qi is the youngest and has already reached hair extensions. Has the marriage of the eldest brother been finalized?"
“There’s no rush if you do it.”
"Oh, I'm not talking about Xingzhi, I'm talking about your eldest daughter."
The eldest lady shook her head, "There's no rush."
"You're already seventeen, right? How can you not be in a hurry?" The lady didn't know why the eldest lady had not made any plans to choose a marriage for the concubine. Most people would start discussing marriage at the age of thirteen or four.
Naturally, the eldest lady would not say anything about her plans and blame Su Taishou, "My master said that after the scientific examination of the rules, we will start choosing a bride."
As soon as these words came out, everyone understood. Su Xingze has a great talent. If he enters high school this year, the threshold of the Su family will have to be raised a level higher. Naturally, the marriages of his sisters will also rise with the tide.
"That makes sense. You won't be afraid if you stay for two more years. Marriage is a major matter for your daughter's family. Naturally, you have to be more cautious." An old lady was well-informed and nodded repeatedly.
The ladies then talked about the Golden Autumn Scientific Examination on this topic.
Someone asked: "When will Xingze come to Beijing?"
"They say they plan to leave with Nephew Zhou Xian. It won't be more than three to five days after Xiao Qi and Hairpin Ceremony!" said the eldest lady.
The old lady nodded, "There are still two months of scientific examinations. Many candidates have already started their journeys last month, so it's time to leave. Go early and adapt to the climate of the capital."
The eldest lady nodded, "Exactly."
On this day, the entire Su Mansion was lively until the last minute, when everyone dispersed and the Su Mansion became quiet.
Xie Lin drank too much and was helped back to the courtyard. Zhou Gu also drank a lot, but he was thinking about the travel book he had left in Su Rongtang's room, so he came to Dongkua Yard to get it.
The eldest lady was holding the gift account in Su Rong's room and grabbing her to check the gift list with her. Wang Ma and Yue Wan were responsible for reading it out and copying it.
Because Su Rong was forced to practice calligraphy by Su Xingze since she was a child, she followed her master's will and Yue Wan also became good at calligraphy.
The eldest lady smiled from ear to ear and said to Su Rong: "Your haircut gift was well done. Jiang Sheng alone gave me a large gift, five thousand taels, plus three shops and a village in Nanshan. There are also fifty acres of orchard. The apology that was confiscated last time is sent as a congratulatory gift this time. I will accept it for you without any courtesy. "
Su Rong was very satisfied and leaned lazily on the chair, "Fortunately, my hairpin gift was in front of me, so I had something to collect. If my hairpin gift was postponed for another two days, I might not be able to receive these things. It can be seen that I Have wealth."
If it's two days later, then the Jiang family will be executed by the Nine Clan and their property will be confiscated, won't they not be able to collect it?
"Why?" The eldest lady was confused. She didn't know that the Jiang family was going to be dealt with by the prince.
Su Rong thought it was not appropriate to say anything now, so she smiled at the eldest lady and said, "You will know in a few days."
