After dinner, Taishou Su and the eldest lady did not leave immediately. Taishou Su was still thinking about the "Picture of Wushan" and wanted to spend some time with Su Rong, while the eldest lady still had something to say to Su Rong.
"When did Zhou Guke say we would set off?" the eldest lady asked Su Rong.
"Just these two days!" Su Rong said.
The eldest lady originally thought that Zhou Gu could stay for a few more days, but she didn't expect that he would leave immediately after Su Rong and his hairpin ceremony. She thought about what the ladies said to each other today, and asked tentatively: "You and me Zhou Gu, I think you two get along well, are you satisfied with this marriage?"
Although she already knew in her heart that if she was dissatisfied with Zhou Gu, given her temperament, she would not have the patience to play with him or take a walk with him, but she still wanted to confirm.
"Yeah." Su Rong nodded.
The eldest lady was happy, "What is Zhou Gu thinking? Can you ask?"
"I didn't ask." Su Rong shook his head.
Su Taishou said from the side: "Oh, madam, you are worrying too much. What can Zhou Gu think? If he didn't like Xiao Qi, he wouldn't care about him, let alone give her a hairpin today."
On such an important day, what does the hairpin ceremony mean? Although Zhou Gu is young, he is not ignorant.
The eldest lady nodded, "Although that's what I said, I also see that Zhou Gu treats Xiaoqi well, but for such a big matter, it's better to explain it clearly, lest we get the wrong idea."
Su Taishou thought about it and looked at Su Rong, "How about we ask Zhou Gu?"
Su Rong shook his head, "You don't have to ask him. When he returns to Beijing, what will the Protector's Palace say? Anyway, the eldest brother is going to Beijing, and he will also meet people from the Protector's Palace."
"Yes." The eldest lady nodded, "Then, young prince Xie has just come to Jiangning, will he also go back with Zhou Gu?"
Su Rong didn't know this and shook his head.
The eldest lady said: "Young Prince Xie seems to be a good boy, but it's a pity that his status is too high. None of the girls in our house are worthy of him in terms of status. Otherwise, you would have to choose one of your sisters to marry him." alright."
Su Rong also thinks Xie Lin is good, at least his character is not bad.
The eldest lady looked pityful, "Although I think your sisters will all marry well, we can't expect a marriage that is beyond our reach. It only needs to be a bit higher than our family's family. If it's too high and we can't reach it, we will die." It's not a good thing for them to climb up. Mr. Xie's status is too high, but fortunately, your sisters all know their status. Even if Mr. Xie lives in our house, none of them will think about it. I’m very relieved.”
After all, even if the daughters of the Su family were concubines, she decided to make them all wives and not concubines.
Su Rong smiled and said, "Mother, you taught me well."
If there is anyone in this house who wants them to marry well the most, it is the eldest lady. Her sisters are afraid that she will lose the family business and their dowries in a fight. Therefore, there are not high requirements for what kind of husband they want to marry. In other words, for them, as long as they can have a dowry to marry a decent man.
I don't blame them for being low-demanding, it's because she has always fought to pay for medical expenses since she was a child, which makes them feel sad. Only the eldest lady insisted on choosing a good husband and in-laws for each of them.
The eldest lady felt that Su Rong was sincerely praising her, and her back straightened instantly, with a look of pride on her face, "That's right."
Su Taishou smiled and said, "Madam, your horizons are too high. If you are a female high school student, you won't be able to stay. If you stay, you will become enemies. You can just marry a similar family."
After all, aren't all his daughters like Su Rong with golden bumps? If there is one Zhou Gu, then there are six more like him? That's just a fool's errand.
"I know. We're not just waiting for Xiao Qi's marriage to be finalized. We still have Xingzhi High School. When the time comes, there will be girls from all over the house, so it won't be difficult." The eldest lady was very confident and stood up, " Okay, let's go! Let Xiao Qi go to bed early."
Su Taishou didn't want to leave and looked at Su Rong, "That "Wushan Picture"..."
Su Rong was ruthless, "I won't give it to you."
Su Taishou: "..."
He stared at Su Rong for a long time. Seeing that Su Rong was unmoved, he could only hold back his breath and cursed "unfilial" again, and then followed the eldest lady with a groan.
The two walked out of the door, and when they were far away, you could still hear him muttering, "Oh, little thing, it's no use hurting her."
The eldest lady scolded him, "You deserve it. After I gave it to you, did you let you play with it enough and then sell it to pay for the women in the house?"
Su Taishou suddenly fell silent.
Su Rong was so funny that she turned off the light, got up and went back to the inner room.
The next day, early in the morning, Nanny Zhao came to the house on time.
The eldest lady slapped her forehead after seeing Aunt Zhao, "Mom, I forgot to tell you yesterday to let Xiao Qi rest for two days. Don't you want to learn the rules in these two days?"
Aunt Zhao was stunned, "It seems that Madam didn't say anything yesterday."
The eldest lady said "Ouch", "That's because I was busy and forgot. Zhou Gu will return to Beijing in the near future. I thought about giving Xiao Qi a two-day holiday so that she can accompany him."
Aunt Zhao immediately smiled and said, "That's okay. I'll give Miss Seven a greeting, say a few words, and then go back."
The eldest lady looked apologetic, "I was busy and forgot, so my visit was in vain."
"It's okay." Aunt Zhao smiled and went to Dongkua Courtyard.
Su Rong woke up early in the morning and planned to go to Zhou Gu after dinner. As soon as the food was put on the table, she saw Aunt Zhao coming. Although the eldest lady did not tell Aunt Zhao that she would not be allowed to come today, she But as he said, Nanny Zhao came today, and she came so early, so she must have something else to do.
Su Rong thought of what she asked Aunt Zhao to pass on a few days ago. Could it be that there was news? She asked Aunt Zhao to sit down, "Are you ready for breakfast?"
"I've used it." Aunt Zhao lowered her voice, "Miss Seventh will have breakfast first. I'm here today to answer the question for Miss Seventh."
Su Rong nodded, not in a hurry to ask Aunt Zhao, and lowered her head to eat.
After eating, Yue Wan packed up her things, and Su Rong motioned to Aunt Zhao to follow her to the inner room.
After closing the door, Aunt Zhao handed Su Rong a letter, "Read it yourself. This is a letter from His Highness the Crown Prince."
Su Rong reached out and took it.
Opening Prince Yan's letter from Hui Hui, he first thanked Su Rong for saving her life and said that he had been looking for her. He also said that an answer and a dagger were not enough to repay her for saving her life. She only wanted something. , you can find him, and you will do your best.
He also said in the letter that the person who wanted to kill her was the Queen of Nanchu. For some unknown reason, Queen Nanchu managed to find Queen Daliang, his mother, not long ago. She said that as long as the queen agreed to help Queen Nanchu kill her, she would persuade King Nanchu to support his ascension to the throne. The queen was very moved by the condition of Nanchu State supporting him, so she agreed. So, they sent someone to kill her, but unexpectedly, the person who came to kill her recognized that she was carrying his dagger and stopped in time. It was precisely because of this that he knew her identity. He said that the queen knew that she was his savior, so she would naturally not do anything to her again. He had sent people to find out why Queen Nanchu wanted to kill her, and would temporarily stabilize Queen Nanchu's side. He also said that since Queen Nanchu went to such great lengths to kill her, she might not give up. If she agrees, he will keep Yun An by her side to protect her.
Su Rong thought that this life-saving grace was really beneficial. After giving her a dagger that could cut iron as well as clay, there would be subsequent benefits. She put away the letter and asked Aunt Zhao: "Yun'an must be used by His Highness the Crown Prince." Human right?"
Aunt Zhao waited for her to read the letter and nodded, "He is the first bodyguard of His Royal Highness."
Su Rong nodded, "I understand His Highness the Crown Prince's desire to protect you, and tell him it's no need."
After all, she is not helpless.
Aunt Zhao didn't trust her, "Miss Qi, don't worry. If you don't accept Yun An, why not ask His Highness to send someone else? Even though Yun An is not as good at martial arts, the guards from the East Palace are all first-rate. I guess. , you are probably really the daughter of Princess Zhenmin and King Nanchu, otherwise Queen Nanchu would not have traveled thousands of miles to kill you. Queen Nanchu is a powerful character and has always had a ruthless reputation. She has the backing of Nanchu Di The Nangong family, a large family, controls half of the royal power of Southern Chu. Now she still has scruples for some reason, so she goes out of her way to kill you. If she loses scruples and goes crazy to kill you, you will definitely not be able to do it alone. Can be dealt with."
Seeing that Su Rong was silent, Aunt Zhao looked solemn and said, "The small country of Southern Chu, although it has not paid tribute for many years, is still a vassal state of Daliang. Although His Highness the Crown Prince is currently in a difficult situation, as a Crown Prince since he was a child, he still has a strong foundation. Yes, most of the courtiers also support orthodoxy. His Royal Highness is willing to help you because of the grace of saving his life, why should you refuse?"
Aunt Zhao sighed and added: "Although the Protector's Mansion has a big tree with deep roots and a splendid lintel, in the past, the Queen of Southern Chu would naturally be a little afraid of the Protector's Mansion, but now His Majesty has become more powerful, and Protector has become more powerful." The three descendants of the Duke of Guo have grown up and are able to take charge of their own duties in the army. The old Duke Protector has seen His Majesty's fearful thoughts. He has become more and more low-key in recent years and has been constrained. It is impossible for the Queen of Nan Chu to be unaware of the Daliang Dynasty. Because of the insider information, I am afraid that the Duke Protector's Office will no longer take notice of him. But His Highness the Crown Prince is different. After all, he is a prince who is loved by the courtiers."
