Su Rong understood what Nanny Zhao meant and asked her to rely on the prince to fight against the Queen of Nanchu. She has a life-saving grace for Yan Huisheng, and Yan Huisheng also wants to protect each other. Logically speaking, it is beneficial to her and she should not refuse. However, Su Rong always has to truly understand his identity before he can know what to do next. You shouldn't step into it.
After all, accepting Yan Huisheng's kindness and continuing to interact with him would be equivalent to being tied to the same boat with him. And Yan Huisheng's own status is now stuck in a difficult situation. The princes around him are ambitious and eyeing her, trying to pull him down. His situation is actually not much better than hers.
She looked at Aunt Zhao and finally said, "I understand what Auntie means. Thank you for your kindness. Auntie is getting older and she has returned to her hometown to enjoy her old age. You don't have to worry about my affairs. As for His Highness, the Prince , let me think about it.”
Aunt Zhao immediately said: "Before I came here today, I had already thought about it. I have already enjoyed the blessings I should have enjoyed at my old age. I have served the Queen Mother for many years. After returning to my hometown, I suddenly became idle and was very uncomfortable. Although I am filial to my nieces and nephews, I always feel out of place. I have been taking on some tasks of teaching boudoir etiquette. This is why the eldest son sent someone to inquire about me and found me to teach the seventh lady. So. , I want to lick my face and ask Miss Qi, can you take me in and keep me by your side to serve you?"
Su Rong was stunned, "Mom, you want to follow me?"
Aunt Zhao nodded, "I have a good temperament with Miss Seven, and I feel quite comfortable staying by your side. This is one of the reasons. Since His Highness the Crown Prince's people have found me, they have passed the message on my behalf, and since I already know about this matter, It is no longer possible to stay out of the matter, which is the second one. In addition, I have served the Queen Mother all my life. No matter where the Seventh Miss goes in the future, whether she lives in a corner, or sits in a high hall or a high door, I will be of some use by your side. This is the third one. With these three points, Miss Qi, you might as well accept me."
Su Rong looked at Aunt Zhao seriously, "It's very dangerous to stay by my side. I seem to have told you that after my mother passed away, I was often assassinated. I'm afraid it will be even more bloody in the future."
Aunt Zhao shook her head, "I'm not afraid. I've been with the Queen Mother all my life. What storms have I not seen?"
Su Rong said again: "But aren't you afraid of involving your nephew and niece?"
Aunt Zhao said: "I have already thought about it. If I follow the Seventh Miss, I will sign a contract of sale with you, and I will also sever ties with my nephew and my nephew-in-law. I will only say to the outside world that I can't bear to live in glory and wealth. Miss Qi. My nephew is filial, I am determined to follow you, and my nephew will definitely agree."
Su Rong didn't expect that Aunt Zhao had already thought about it, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
Aunt Zhao looked at Su Rong, "Miss Qi, please accept me! The value of my life is to know some survival rules in the palace and high-level mansions. You will definitely use them. The moon beside you, I simply have little experience and cannot handle that. Even if the eldest lady will arrange a dowry for you, there is no suitable person like me in the entire Jiangning County."
Su Rong smiled and rubbed her eyebrows, then agreed, "Okay!"
Aunt Zhao immediately smiled and said, "Thank you Miss Qi, I will be yours from now on. I will write a personal deed right now."
"There's no rush." Su Rong stretched out his hand to stop her, "Mommy, please go back first and come back when Zhou Gu returns to Beijing. Then we will find Uncle Xie and my father together to confirm my identity first."
Aunt Zhao nodded, "Yesterday at your haircut ceremony, I saw Mr. Xie. He seemed to recognize me."
Su Rong said she understood, "Mom, go ahead. We can talk about these things after Zhou Gu leaves."
Since the old protector didn't tell Zhou Gu her identity, he probably had his own considerations, and she naturally wouldn't destroy it.
After Nanny Zhao left, Su Rong sat quietly in the room for a while, then got up to look for Zhou Gu. As soon as she walked to the door, she saw that Zhou Gu had arrived, so she stopped and looked at Zhou Gu.
The red sun was rising, the sun was shining all over her body, and she was walking towards her. Su Rong squinted her eyes, and it seemed like a tomorrow was coming towards her.
The young man has a pure color and elegant style, like a pine and a bamboo, and the sun and the moon are heart-broken when he sees him.
Su Rong wanted to cover her eyes with her hands, but was reluctant, so she looked straight at Zhou Gu.
Zhou Gu walked closer and glanced at Su Rong doubtfully, "Are you going out?"
Su Rong came back to her senses and shook her head, "I planned to find you. You are going back to Beijing soon. I wanted to ask you if there is anywhere you want to go today."
Zhou Gu looked apologetic for a moment when he heard this, pursed his lips, and sighed, "Su Rong, I'm leaving today."
Su Rong was stunned, "Why so fast? You didn't say anything yesterday?"
Zhou Gu said: "Early this morning, I received a letter from His Highness the Crown Prince. Tomorrow the imperial edict to punish Jiang Sheng will be sent to Jiangzhou. The Jiang family has been entrenched in Jiangzhou for more than ten years. There are many things involved behind the scenes, including one conspiracy. The private matter involves the Nanping Marquis Mansion. His Royal Highness means that he does not intend to let Jiang Sheng interfere with the Nanping Marquis Mansion. The case will be settled here with Jiang Sheng. The first is to leave the Nanping Marquis Mansion to Ningchi for future use. The second is to involve Jiang Sheng. The Marquis of Nanping's Mansion is equivalent to involving the First Prince's Mansion. If this case is involved too much, it will change its nature. Your Majesty will definitely not be happy to see it. By then, it will be detrimental to His Highness the Crown Prince."
Su Rong understood, "So, you want to leave early and go to Jiangzhou first?"
"Yes, I will go back to Beijing directly then." There is no time to go back to Jiangning County to say goodbye.
Su Rong nodded, "Are you leaving immediately? Then my eldest brother..."
"Your eldest brother will leave with Xie Lin in a few days. If I am still staying in Jiangzhou at that time, we can go to Beijing together. If I have left, he and Xie Lin will go to Beijing together. Xie Lin has just arrived in Jiangning County and doesn't want to leave yet. Zhou Gu nodded, "Let's set off immediately."
"Then I'll take you out of the city now?"
Zhou Gu nodded and didn't say anything about not letting Su Rong give it away.
So Su Rong sent Zhou Gu away.
Zhou Gu's troops and luggage were all ready. Due to the rush, neither Su Taishou nor the eldest lady had any preparations. The eldest lady apologized to Zhou Gu and said: "The return gifts to the Duke Protector's Palace are all stored in the warehouse. What are you doing?" Are you leaving in such a hurry? Can you give me some time until I have someone sort out the gifts and put them in the car before I leave?"
"The matter is urgent and we need to leave immediately. Why don't we give the return gift prepared by my aunt to Brother Su?" Zhou Gu looked apologetic, "I have something important to do, so I have to travel lightly, which is really inconvenient."
The eldest lady gave up after hearing this, "Okay, let Xiao Qi take you out of the city?"
Zhou Gu nodded, "Okay."
So Zhou Gu bid farewell to Prefect Su and his wife, and Su Rong escorted him out of the city.
Su Rong rode a horse and walked beside Zhou Gu all the way to the outside of the city. At Shili Pavilion, Zhou Gu reined in the horse and said, "Send it here!"
Su Rong nodded.
Seeing that she didn't say anything all the way, Zhou Gu pretended to be relaxed and asked, "What? You can't bear to leave me?"
Su Rong smiled and said, "Yes!"
It’s true that I feel a bit reluctant to leave. I don’t know when we will see each other again.
Zhou Gu didn't expect that she would admit it so easily. He took a careful look at Su Rong and couldn't see anything on her face. The reluctance to leave his daughter's family, the shyness and timidity in the face of him, and the reluctant farewell, these were all he knew. She didn't have any of the emotions that a daughter's family should have, and he couldn't tell whether Su Rong's words were true or false. After all, her temperament was really different from all the daughters' families.
He could only ask again: "Really?"
Su Rong looked serious, "Really."
Zhou Gu nodded, believing what she said this time to be true, and said to her seriously: "I'm also a little reluctant to leave."
Su Rong smiled again.
Zhou Gu thought for a moment and asked her, "Su Rong, do you want to get married as soon as possible?"
Su Rong paused.
Zhou Gu stopped looking at her and looked at the blue sky ahead. There were two birds chasing each other. He thought that if Su Rongruo said yes, he would not go out to travel, but would take part in this year's scientific examination and enter the court step by step. The worst thing is, after marrying Su Rong, he will find a way to go abroad. Then he can take Su Rong with him and benefit the people. It is not necessary to travel all over the world to truly understand the people's livelihood. He can choose another way.
Su Rong looked at Zhou Gu. The young man was sitting upright on the horse, full of vigor. After getting along with her for a month, she already knew a lot about him. He was a piece of diamond cultivated by the Duke Protector's Palace and the East Palace. It has always been smooth and smooth. Even if there is any mess, it will not really happen to him. If nothing happens, he will definitely be able to go to high school in the Jinqiu Science Examination with his talent. Plus, he will be the lintel of the Duke Protector's Palace. The future will be smooth and prosperous, and maybe even be remembered in history.
At this moment, she vaguely seemed to understand the old Protector's intention in asking him to serve as a civil servant. The military achievements of the Protector's Palace had been accumulated to the end. If he went to higher places, in addition to rebelling and seizing the world and becoming the emperor, he would have nothing more to do. It was impossible to award higher rewards, and the Duke Protector's Office would not act like a rebellious minister or traitor, and would not tarnish the reputation of loyal ministers and good generals in history, and Zhou Gu had to take another path.
This is what the old protector of the country expected of him, to be a civil servant who would add a lot of color to the country of Later Liang.
She didn’t know if Zhou Gu was sent to the East Palace to study with the prince. Behind the scenes, there was the push from the old protector. But if Prince Yan Huihui was the master whom the old protector valued, then Zhou Gu would be with him in the future. There is a monarch and a minister, one is in charge of the country and the other is assisting the country, so why worry about the failure of the beam?
What about her?
Have a nice weekend, see you tomorrow~
