After the banquet, everyone dispersed.
Zhou Gu and Su Rong walked to their residence. Halfway there, Zhou Gu saw that no one was there, so he reached for Su Rong's hand and said, "I saw you and Mrs. Hou talking all night. When did you have so much to say?" ?What did you say?"
Su Rong glanced at him and said, "Drunk?"
Zhou Gu shook his head, "No."
Su Rong saw that he spoke clearly and walked smoothly. Although he smelled of alcohol, it didn't look like he was drunk. She said, "I see your third brother is drunk."
"Yes, he is drunk. His ability to drink is not as good as mine." Zhou Gu pestered her and asked, "You haven't answered me yet?"
Su Rong glanced around and saw that there was indeed no one, so she lowered her voice and said to him: "When Mrs. Hou saw you two brothers, she remembered that there was a fifth lady in the Duke Protector's mansion, who seemed to be waiting for marriage, so she came up with an idea. Say goodbye to Ning Chi and ask me if that’s okay.”
Zhou Gu: "..."
He stopped and looked Su Rong up and down.
Su Rong looked at him inexplicably and strangely, "Why do you look at me like this?"
Zhou Gu told the truth, "I'm wondering how Mrs. Hou thinks that a little girl like you can be a matchmaker."
Su Rong: "..."
She coughed and said, "They just asked me for my opinion and didn't ask me to be a matchmaker."
"Since she's asking you, she means to let you set the line." Zhou Gu took her hand and continued walking forward, muttering: "My fifth sister was actually reserved by my grandmother for the prince. If the East Palace doesn't care, Then choose someone else for her."
Su Rong blinked her eyes. She was indeed right. Miss Friday was one of the candidates for the future crown princess. She whispered: "I also said this. Mrs. Hou said that she was interested in the young lady in the capital who was waiting for a marriage. We are not familiar with each other, so I suggested that we help build a bridge between them and let Aunt Shen help with the search, and then we can make a decision after Ningchi comes to Beijing and we meet each other."
She added, "Just like my sisters."
Zhou Gu said: "Now she is doing her best for Ning Chi."
Su Ronxiao said, "On the day when the Northern Hebei Army attacked the city, Ning Chi saved Ning Ze. For Mrs. Hou, it was equivalent to Ning Chi saving her life."
Zhou Gu commented, "From now on, there will be no internal fighting in the Nanping Marquis Mansion, which is beneficial to Ningchi and is also a good thing for the prince."
Su Rong nodded.
Zhou Gu walked a few steps and suddenly said: "What about me?"
"What you?"
Zhou Gu stopped again, turned to look at her, his eyes were very serious and solemn, "Although the words of the matchmaker ordered by your parents are of little use to you, you can't let me just get a marriage certificate and that's it." So sneaky, right?"
Su Rong: "..."
By the way, when did she start sneaking around with him?
She looked back at him, "You're not sneaking around. When we set off tomorrow, won't you be with me? Let's go to Beijing together? I'll take you to see my mother?"
Zhou Gu pondered and shook his head, "Zhang Ping, I need to go to Nanchu first to clear some obstacles for you. I won't go back to Beijing with you."
Su Rong looked at him, "Then there's nothing we can do. Can I let you know?"
She still plans to go to Beijing.
Zhou Gu was not very satisfied, "Not only your mother, but you also need to go to the gate of the Protector's Palace in person to inform my grandfather, grandmother, and mother."
Su Rong: "..."
She looked at Zhou Gu, "Do you think this is appropriate?"
It seemed like she was going to propose marriage.
"Why is it inappropriate? When you broke off my engagement, didn't you come to the door yourself?" Zhou Gu raised his eyebrows.
Su Rong choked.
Zhou Gu looked at her, "What? Don't you dare? Just dare to sneak around with me."
Su Rong stretched out her hand to hold him, "Who was sneaking around with you? You're drunk, hurry up and go back."
Zhou Gu was dragged hard by her hands and was very dissatisfied. He muttered, "Su Rong, even though I have a marriage certificate, I still want my parents to order a matchmaker."
Su Rong laughed angrily. Only then did she realize that Zhou Gu was not drunk at all. He was a little drunk. After all, he was a little more clumsy than before. "Okay, okay, I promise you these two points you said." , not only that, but also tell the world in the future, right?"
Zhou Gu was finally satisfied when he heard this, "Okay."
There was clear snow in the sky, and a thin layer fell on the ground. The cold wind rolled up the clothes of the two people, and the sleeves were entangled together.
Back at his residence, Zhou Gu did not take a bath next door as usual, but pulled Su Rong and lay directly on the bed. He didn't do anything bad, he just held her and pressed her, muttering something like "It's mine." "And so on, and then fell asleep.
It was the first time Su Rong saw him like this and it was a little funny, so she simply slept with him.
The next day, Su Rong and Zhou Gu left Nanping with the 150,000 soldiers and horses they had conquered, and the 100,000 soldiers and horses brought by Zhou Che.
Ning Ze, Jiang Zhu, brothers from the Eighteenth Village, and Zhang Mao sat in the carriage and left with them.
Ning Chi saw them off, ten miles outside the city, and handed over to Zhou Gu and Su Rong, "Brother Zhou, Miss Seven, take care of yourself along the way."
Zhou Gu nodded, "Don't worry."
She looked at him again and said, "You should take good care of your injuries. When Zhang Ping's matter comes to an end, the prince will definitely summon you to the capital."
Ning Chi nodded.
Su Rong thought for a while and decided to talk to him, "Yesterday Mrs. Hou asked me to make some suggestions for the prince's marriage. I think it is best to entrust this matter to Aunt Shen of the Ministry of Official Affairs to find someone for the prince. Hou Madam is very kind-hearted, if the prince already has a girl he likes, he might as well tell her earlier, so as not to suffer an injustice in vain."
Ning Chi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I don't have a girl I like right now. Thank you very much, Miss Seven, for taking the trouble."
As soon as he said this, he agreed.
Su Rong nodded, "Okay, that's it, let's go."
Ning Chi handed over his hand again, "Take care along the way."
The 250,000-strong army left Nanping City. As if the tide receded, Nanping City returned to peace.
Ning Chi stood there and watched for a long time, until he could no longer see the shadow of the soldiers and horses, and then turned back to the city.
Marquis Nanping did not send him that far outside the city, but waited in the study. When he saw Ning Chi coming back, he asked him, "Everyone is gone?"
"gone."
The Marquis of Nanping lamented, "Miss Su Qi's trip to Nanping, in total, she probably gained more than His Highness the Crown Prince."
Ning Chi looked at Marquis Nanping.
Marquis Nanping said: "Jiang Zhu, Zhang Mao, and if Zhang Yun can really join her, these three are not just ordinary people. They were originally talented people from Daliang, but they all went to Nanchu. If she were the king, Nanchu’s future is limitless.”
Ning Chi reminded with a faint smile, "You forgot, there is a second brother."
"Ze'er." Marquis Nanping also smiled, "He has surrendered to Miss Su Qi, and he seems to have been reborn. You don't have to worry about him in the future."
He sighed softly, "Although his mother is a woman, she is more far-sighted than my father."
Ning Chi doesn't comment on Mrs. Hou. He has had no mother since he was a child. Many times, he envies Ning Ze. He doesn't say how Mrs. Hou did things in the past or how she does things now. But there is only one thing. She is a good mother. There is no doubt that she is a good mother. .
Dear babies, monthly pass, okay?
