Halfway through the team, Su Xingze's family letter arrived and was delivered to the eldest lady.
The eldest lady looked at the two letters from home, one was addressed to her mother, and the other was addressed to her seventh sister. She weighed the weight, and it was obvious that the letter addressed to her was not as thick and substantial as the one addressed to Su Rong. She said angrily: "This is my biological son! He was born to be angry with me, right?"
Wang Ma smiled, "Don't be angry, madam. Most of the letters home from the eldest son to the seventh lady are words of instruction. Every time, the seventh lady wishes that the eldest son would not mention her because she dislikes him for talking too much."
The eldest lady snorted, "Anyway, in his eyes, ever since he was little, he only has eyes for this younger sister, not his biological mother."
"There are still some." Wang Ma said very considerately: "Compared to our master, you have a letter home. Unless necessary, the master never writes a family letter to the master. For this reason, the master is very jealous of you and Miss Seven."
The eldest lady was indeed relieved, "That's right, I, the mother, was the one who gave birth to him in ten months of pregnancy. The master, who only provided a seed, still has to step aside."
Wang Ma: "..."
That’s what I said!
Sure enough, there is no harm if there is no comparison!
The eldest lady handed Su Rong's letter to Wang Ma, "Go and have someone bring it to her and tell her that she must reply. Don't be lazy and not reply. It will be in vain for his brother to prepare for the exam and still care about her."
Wang Ma nodded and called someone to deliver the letter to Su Rong.
Su Rong was listening boredly as Aunt Zhao told her about the palace fights that happened when she served the Queen Mother in those years. One after another, it was really eye-opening for her to think about the women in the palace. As long as you don't die, you will fight to the death.
These are Mammy Zhao's personal experiences. Compared with the thrills and intrigues described by the storyteller, a general who is good at fighting on the battlefield will probably not survive a night if thrown into the harem.
Su Rong deeply felt that all the women in the harem should be sent to fight on the battlefield. This endless variety of methods was really amazing. What is even more admirable is that the emperor is worthy of being the Supreme Emperor of the Dragon Emperor. There were intrigues in the previous dynasty, and intrigues in the harem. Day by day, the emperor can still enjoy it, and it is really his destiny.
While she was discussing with Aunt Zhao, someone sent a letter from Su Xingze. She stopped talking, took the letter lazily, weighed it, and without reading the letter, she couldn't help but complain, "I am a big brother, He is a man of few words with others, but why does he talk so much in front of me? He is so nagging and worried. Hey, this letter is so thick, I don’t know what he said.”
Aunt Zhao smiled, "The eldest son is a good brother."
Su Rong was noncommittal and tore open the letter to see what he had written in it.
This letter was written by Su Xingze when he first arrived in the capital. He wrote that Zhou Gu was specially waiting for him and Xie Lin in Jiangzhou. The three of them were traveling together. On the way to the capital, they encountered someone who was intercepted by someone sent by Zhou Gu. Princess Duanhua, who was halfway through, then recounted in detail how Duanhua went crazy and threatened Zhou Gu, how Zhou Gu was not threatened by her, and in turn kidnapped people and continued on his way, and so on.
Su Rong was stunned and asked Aunt Zhao, "Is this Princess Duanhua so wild?"
Su Rong read the letter and did not avoid Aunt Zhao. Naturally Aunt Zhao also saw it and was surprised, "When the old slave left the capital, Princess Duanhua was not like this. She was a bit unruly at that time, but her identity, It's okay to be arrogant. After all, Princess Qingping is your favorite, His Majesty is your favorite, His Majesty only has his niece, isn't he spoiled? But it's far from such a crazy level."
Su Rong nodded and continued to read the letter. She learned that Su Xingze lived in Xie's Mansion in Dongsi Hutong. He also told her that a room had been tidied up for her. Next, he asked her about her injuries and told her to take good care of her injuries. , you must listen to what Aunt Zhao said.
Su Rong glanced over these words and went straight to the end. Then she folded the letter and threw it into the mailbox in the car. She yawned and said to Aunt Zhao, "Mommy, please answer a letter to Big Brother on my behalf." , just say that I am recovering well from my injury, so that he does not need to worry about me and can prepare well for the exam."
Grandma said: "Don't you write a letter to the eldest son in your own hand?"
"I'm recovering from my injuries. My elder brother will understand." After Su Rong finished speaking, she closed her eyes and planned to sleep.
Aunt Zhao smiled helplessly. Miss Qi just replied to His Highness the Crown Prince with a handwritten letter early this morning. She nodded, "Okay, I will ghostwrite it for you this time. You have to write it yourself next time."
She has also heard from Mother Wang these days that Miss Seven dislikes writing letters the most.
Su Rong said "Yeah".
Not long after she fell asleep, someone came with another letter, "Miss Seven, a letter from Young Master Zhou."
Su Rong was in a daze, "Let's leave it alone for now!"
Aunt Zhao took the letter and put it on the mailbox aside.
The carriage traveled for a day, and Su Rong also slept for a day. During this period, he didn't even get up to eat, and he slept very soundly. In the evening, the motorcade entered Jiangzhou City and she woke up on time.
Aunt Zhao smiled and asked: "Are you hungry? We have already entered the city. Madam has sent someone to send a message to you in advance. The cook in the house must have prepared dinner. How about you have a snack first to make up for it?" "
Su Rong nodded.
Aunt Zhao took out the snacks from the food box, put them on a plate, and handed them to Su Rong. At the same time, she reminded her, "Young Master Zhou's letter, are you going to read it now or later?"
Su Rong tilted her head and saw the letter placed on the mailbox. She reached out to pick it up, tore open the envelope and dropped out a thin piece of paper. She held the letter in one hand and pinched a snack in the other. She read it while eating and ate a piece of snack. That’s it, I’ve read the letter.
What Zhou Gu asked in the letter was about the clothes and fabrics she gave him. When he received them, he didn't know their true value. After returning home, he learned that they were twice as expensive as the gifts he brought her from home to celebrate her hairpin. , asked her what she meant? Is it because he is his fiancé that makes her so generous? Or do you actually want to return the gift to him in this roundabout way? Or do you still want to buy him directly for the rest of your life?
Su Rong's eyes fell on the words "buy him for life", and she always felt that Zhou Gu's words were menacing.
She picked up another piece of snack, thinking that it would be great if she could really use those things to buy him for the rest of his life. If a problem can be solved with money, is it still a problem?
When Chu Yuewan went back with the gift list given by the Protector's Palace, when she saw it, she calculated that it was worth about 100,000 taels. She thought that the Duke's proposal for her marriage seemed pretty good. After all, she couldn't bear to give so many things as a gift. She naturally wondered at that time why she returned it quietly before Zhou Gu left. Before she could figure out the reason, she met Zhou Xi who asked about making clothes for Zhou Gu, and she had an idea. , thinking it was a coincidence, he simply took over the matter.
She didn't expect that when she met Xie Lin, Zhou Gu readily agreed, but even if Xie Lin wasn't around at the time, she still had a way to get Zhou Gu to accept it.
Although Zhou Gu and Xie Lin both know the goods, for young masters like them, everything they need is handled by others. Even if they know the goods, they probably don't know the specific value. As for finding out after returning to the Protector's Mansion, they will give it away anyway. .
Now that Zhou Gu came to ask, Su Rong actually had nothing to say. She collected the letter, threw it into the mailbox, and said to Aunt Zhao: "Auntie, please ghostwrite another letter and just mention the congratulatory gift from the Protectorate. It was too heavy, I deserved it, and I returned it to him. I felt at ease and had no other intentions."
Aunt Zhao looked at Su Rong and wanted to say something, but she still nodded, "Okay, the eldest son's letter hasn't been sent yet, and this letter happened to be here."
In fact, after she ghostwritten the letter to Su Xingze, before she could send it out, Zhou Gu's letter came. She wanted to wait for the seventh lady to wake up, read the letter, and reply to Young Master Zhou to send it off together. Who knew? Once she fell asleep, she slept and dragged on all day.
Su Rong nodded, "Yeah."
In the evening, Jiangzhou City was not as lively as Jiangning County. The streets were not bustling with people, and it was very quiet with pedestrians in twos and threes.
The carriage entered the city, and a servant came to deliver the message, "Miss Qi, the gentleman said that he has returned to his hometown. You haven't seen Mr. Su for a few days, and your injuries are almost healed. Please follow the eldest lady back to the Governor's Mansion. !」
Su Rong had no objection, "Okay."
When the carriage arrived at the Governor's Mansion, the eldest lady got off the carriage first, ordered someone to bring a soft sedan, and placed it directly in front of Su Rong's carriage.
Aunt Zhao immediately smiled and whispered to Su Rong: "Madam's love for you is truly genuine.
. "
Su Rong curled her lips and smiled, then got into the sedan chair.
After the sedan was carried away, Su Rong heard Miss Six mutter in a low voice, "Mom prefers one to another. Sister Seven has a sedan to sit on, so we have to walk on two legs, eh."
The eldest lady had sharp ears and could hear clearly. She said angrily: "Xiao Liu, what do you want me to do? Your seventh sister got into a fight again and injured her arms and legs. If you also injured your arms and legs and can't walk, then you can't walk either." Take a sedan chair."
Miss Sixth suddenly understood, "I was just wondering why Seventh Sister has been hiding in Mr. Xie's house for many days and hasn't shown up. It turns out she was injured again." She shook her head indifferently, "This kind of blessing should be given to Seventh Sister! I Don’t like to fight.”
