The house in Dongsi Hutong is not big, and the bustling people in the front yard can be heard clearly in the back yard.
Su Rong yawned amid the noisy crowd, "I'm sleepy."
Duan Hua was affected by her and yawned, "I'm sleepy too."
Then the two of them stopped talking in a tacit agreement and closed their eyes together. After a while, they both fell asleep.
The maid glanced along the crack of the door, then retracted her head and whispered to the maid brought by Duan Hua: "Both my young lady and your princess are asleep."
Qingzhi, the maid brought by Duan Hua, nodded, thinking that ever since she met Miss Su Qi, her princess had become a happy-go-lucky person. She came here to play with Miss Su Qi. Unexpectedly, When she couldn't get out of bed, she went to someone else's bed and fell asleep with them in broad daylight.
Qingzhi quietly waved to the maid, the maid. The maid, the maid, understood and went aside to talk to her.
The two of them hid in the corner. Qingzhi lowered his voice and said: "You are here to guard your young lady and my princess. Don't let the foreign man come in. I will go to the front yard and order the guards to send someone back to the house to send a message to the housekeeper of the princess house." Send some people here on secondment for a few days. The princess is right, there are too few people to serve in this courtyard."
The maidservant nodded.
Qingzhi went immediately.
In the front yard, Su Xingze had just finished taking the medicine and was about to send someone to buy it. Students from Jiangzhou, led by Chen Zhou and Jiang Xing, all came to the door, with more than a dozen people coming together. After coming to Beijing, Su Xingze lived in Dongsi Hutong for a few days, and then moved to Shen Mansion. After the results were released, he went out with a group of students for two days. After that, he accompanied Zhou Zhou every day and never saw each other again. Now that they heard that the results were about to be released, these people were so nervous that they wanted to come together to meet him.
Su Xingze could only send someone to inform Su Rong, and he would first greet the students in Jiangzhou.
All the students chatted noisily for a while, and they were all talking about what they had heard about tomorrow's results. Only Chen Zhou pulled Su Xingze and asked, "Is Su Rong in the mansion today?"
Su Xingze nodded, "Seventh sister is indeed in the mansion, but she is receiving Princess Duanhua."
Chen Zhou was a little disappointed, "I thought I could see her today, but it seems she doesn't have time to see us."
Su Xingze looked at him and asked, "What do you want from Qimei?"
Chen Zhou scratched his head and said with some difficulty: "When Zhou Gu went to Jiangning County, I said a lot of bad things about her in front of Zhou Gu, which made her very angry. At that time, I had selfish motives and didn't want her to marry. To Zhou Gu, it was also because I suddenly learned that she was engaged, and I had just finished fighting with her at that time. There was an element of anger... I didn't expect that she would take the initiative to come to Beijing to break off the engagement with Zhou Gu later, and I didn't really think about it. Destroy her marriage."
Su Xingze heard this and asked, "Do you want to apologize to Qimei?"
Chen Zhou nodded.
Su Xingze nodded. Although he knew that the fundamental reason why Su Rong and Zhou Gu broke off their engagement was not because of Chen Zhou, he still did not decide for Su Rong whether to forgive him. "She can't get away today, but she should be able to get away some other time. Just come again."
Chen Zhou nodded, "That's all we can do."
He looked at Su Xingze and hesitated to speak.
"Do you have anything to say?" Su Xingze also saw that Chen Zhou liked to play with Su Rong since he was a child and was always bullied by Su Rong.
Su Xingze lowered his voice and asked: "I heard someone said that Su Rong is the princess of Nanchu? Is this... true?"
Su Xing nodded.
Chen Zhou was shocked. After a while, he asked again: "I also heard that after she broke off Zhou Gu's marriage, she entered into an engagement with the second son of Nanchu Ye Prime Minister's Mansion?"
Su Xingze nodded again.
Chen Zhou was shocked for a moment and then asked: "Have the Geng Tie been exchanged?"
Su Xingze shook his head, "Never."
However, Su Rong had already accepted Ye Guixue's tiger talisman of one hundred thousand troops, and also gave her hairpin to Ye Guixue, which was equivalent to an exchange of tokens.
So, he added, "The tokens have been exchanged."
Chen Zhou was shocked for a long time before he said: "It turns out it's all true."
Su Xingze looked at him and stopped talking. He knew very well that in Jiangning County, girls like Su Rong were not valued by the ladies of various prefectures and felt that they did not have the rules that a daughter's family should have, so she was not a good candidate for a daughter-in-law. However, many young masters from various prefectures But they all like her secretly.
I have been in love with her since I was young. She is such a lively, lovable and playful little girl. Even if she has a bad temper, she will be liked by many people.
Chenzhou is one of them, and Jiang Xing is also one of them.
Su Xingze turned his head and glanced at Jiang Xing and saw that he was sitting not far away. He did not ask him about Su Rong like Chen Zhou did, but it was obvious that he had heard about these things and should be aware of them. Nine is inseparable from ten, it should all be true.
He suddenly remembered what Duan Hua said to him, reached out and patted Chen Zhou on the shoulder, reminding him, "It is said that it is very cruel to catch your son-in-law under the ranking list in Beijing. You and Jiang Xing are both among those who will be arrested. The ranking list will be released tomorrow. If you don't want to If you get caught, be careful!”
Chen Zhou: "..."
Jiang Xing: "..."
They all looked at Su Xingze. Wasn't he the one who deserved to be caught the most?
Su Xingze smiled and said, "Because of my sister, all the governments are protecting me, so no one dares to catch me now."
Chen Zhou's face suddenly showed an expression of envy, and he murmured softly, "She is your sister, it's great."
When he was a child, he wanted his mother to give him a sister like Su Rong, but his mother said angrily that she couldn't have one. Later, he tried to steal Su Rong away, but unfortunately Su Rong punched and kicked her. From then on, I didn't dare to think of stealing her home again.
The housekeeper of the Princess Mansion quickly sent a group of people, including cooks, maids, sweepers, purchasers, etc. The equipment was very complete. These people were personally brought to Dongxi Hutong by the housekeeper of the Princess Mansion. Xie Mansion.
After Su Xingze heard about it, he quickly went out to meet people.
The butler of the Princess Mansion smiled and handed over to Su Xingze, "Old slave, on the order of my princess, I have dispatched a group of people to lend them to the mansion for a few days. There is no need to be polite, Mr. Su. You can give them whatever you want."
Su Xingze knew that Su Rong agreed to this, so he did not refuse and thanked him.
When the housekeeper saw that Su Xingze wanted to entertain the students from Jiangzhou, he suggested with a smile, "These people brought by the old slave are all old people who can be used by the princess's house. They work quickly and act neatly. The weather is bright today." It's still early. If Mr. Su keeps the guests for lunch, he can keep them busy. It's easy for them to prepare one or two tables."
Su Xingze originally wanted to take the students from Jiangzhou to a restaurant on the street for dinner, but considering that Su Rong and Duan Hua were in the mansion, he left and there would be no one to take care of them. Now the housekeeper of the princess mansion has sent them This group of people happened to be useful and solved this problem for him, so he simply nodded and said, "Okay, let's make two tables. Thank you uncle for thinking about it for me."
"No thanks, Mr. Su, let's entertain the guests first. I'll make arrangements for you here before I go back." The butler smiled, waved his hand, and led the people to the inner courtyard.
After the group left, Chen Zhou opened his eyes wide and asked Su Xingze, "Is this the housekeeper of Princess Qingping's mansion?"
There are seven-rank officials in front of the prime minister, and the housekeeper of the princess's house also has a rank.
Su Xingze nodded and saw that everyone was looking at him. Everyone was surprised. He simply explained, "Mother and six sisters came in a hurry, and none of the waiters were with them. Aunt Shen wanted to borrow someone, and mother looked at the Shen Mansion. There weren't many people waiting on me, so I declined. I didn't expect Princess Duanhua to come today. After learning about the situation in the mansion, she sent people back to the mansion to dispatch these people."
After he finished speaking, he looked at everyone's stunned expressions and smiled, "You all can stay in the house for lunch today!"
