Zhou Gu's cards were evenly matched with Su Rong's. They played against each other for several rounds and ended up in a tie.
Zhou Gu pushed the cards to Ye Guixue and said, "Brother Ye, come here."
Ye Guixue took the card and looked at the opposite side with a smile, "Aren't you tired, Madam?"
"You're not tired, just come." Su Rongjin also drank a lot, but she had been exposed to wine since she was a child. It's not that you won't get drunk after a thousand cups, but you won't get drunk if you drink a few more cups.
Cui Yanjin stood aside and said, "One of you, my cousin will win one."
"Don't talk nonsense." Zhang Yun now just wants to win, "Brother Ye, my brother's private money depends on you."
Ye Guixue nodded, "I'll try my best."
He didn't drink much today, so he was the most sober while sitting.
For three consecutive rounds, Su Rong was one move away from his opponent, while Cui Yanjin remained silent.
Zhang Yun was happy, "Brother Ye, I knew I had to rely on you."
Zhou Gu sneered, "I gave him the card."
"Yes, yes, brother Zhou, you two are my lucky stars." Zhang Yun looked at the private money that came back and smiled happily.
"Don't be too happy too soon." Su Rong also smiled.
Zhang Yun blinked.
Sure enough, in the next game, the next game, and the next four or five games, Ye Guixue lost.
Zhang Yun was speechless, "No way?"
Su Rong looked at him, "If you go to Jiangning County and ask around, you will know that I have been playing with this thing since I was a child. No one is my opponent."
Cui Yanjin got angry again, "In the whole Jiangzhou, my cousin-in-law considers herself second, and no one dares to claim to be number one. When you guys are memorizing your homework, my cousin-in-law plays this every day."
Su Rong put the card into Cui Yanjin's hand and said to everyone in a funny way: "I'll give you a chance for revenge. My little cousin is rich. You can win it back from him."
Zhang Yun geared up and smiled sinisterly at Cui Yanjin, "Cui Yanjin, good on you, just wait."
Cui Yanjin said, "Ah, just wait."
Everyone continued to play together lively, and Su Rong was the one watching the battle. Zhou Gu did not continue to join the battle, but cleaned his hands and peeled grapes for Su Rong to eat.
Under the siege of everyone, Cui Yanjin lost everything Su Rong won, and it was almost dawn.
His head drooped, and he tugged at Su Rong's sleeves again, "Cousin, if you don't help me, I'll lose."
"If you lose, you lose. You are still young and are not in a hurry to get a wife." Su Rong touched his head and yawned, "It's time to relax."
Cui Yanjin was unhappy, "It's all my cousin's fault."
Zhou Gu flicked his forehead, "Why do you blame me?"
Cui Yanjin snorted, "You treat your brother, not your cousin."
"I told you, you are still young." Zhou Gu stopped paying attention to Cui Yanjin, pulled Su Rong, carried her skillfully on his back, and left.
Cui Yanjin pouted.
Zhang Yun patted his shoulder happily and said, "Thank you, little brother, if it weren't for you, my warehouse would be empty today."
Cui Yanjin snorted and turned away.
Everyone knew that the princess had played with people all night, and no one from the clan came to the palace to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year.
Su Rong and Zhou Gu slept until dusk. After dinner, they took Zhou Gu and the King of Nanchu to the city tower to set off fireworks.
The King of Nanchu looked at the grand scene in the sky and sighed, "I never thought that a New Year's Eve could be so interesting."
Yesterday, he took Ye Xiang, Cui Gong, Xie Yuan, Lao Guo Gong and several important officials in the court to drink, and they drank until midnight. Last year was thrilling, but this year it was extremely lively.
"The days ahead will be long." Zhou Gu answered.
King Nan Chu smiled and nodded, "Yes."
The days are indeed long, long enough that he is willing to accompany his daughter and son-in-law to a hundred years, and then he will be smiling.
After the fifth day of the lunar month, the court meeting resumed, and the court opened a new chapter for the new year.
In the blink of an eye, it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and all kinds of palace lanterns were hung in the palace. Aunt Zhao and her people arranged it carefully, but Su Rong felt that it was better to have fun with the people, so she and Zhou Gu went out. The palace, ran into the street.
The King of Nanchu looked at the palace lanterns outside the window and sighed, "It was during the Lantern Festival that year that I met Zhen Min. The lanterns all over the street illuminated her beautifully."
Li He felt distressed, "Your Majesty, you miss the princess again."
"Yes, I miss her." King Nan Chu sighed, "I haven't cultivated enough fate with her in this life, but I hope to achieve perfection with her in the next life."
Li He stopped talking.
The King of Nan Chu added: "In my whole life, I always pray to God, hoping that God will show mercy to me."
On the Lantern Festival night on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the lights in the flower market are as bright as day. Su Rong took Zhou Gu through the market, and saw people gathered around to guess lantern riddles, and the two of them joined in the fun.
Su Rong didn't study hard in terms of writing skills. She was not as quick-thinking as Zhou Gu, a disciple taught by Master Qin. She fell in love with a beautiful phoenix lantern and got stuck at the last level. She couldn't figure it out and kept asking. Zhou Guxiu asked him for help.
Zhou Gu whispered: "My dearest lady, isn't it bad to cheat?"
Su Rong glared, "I want this lantern, will you help me? If not, I'll sleep in the study tonight."
Zhou Gu took a breath, "Help."
He didn't want to sleep in the study. As a newlywed, although he doesn't ask for it every day, he doesn't want to sleep alone.
So Zhou Gu wrote the puzzle on a piece of paper and gave it to Su Rong. Su Rong opened it and was immediately happy and handed it to the shopkeeper.
The shop owner took the puzzle and said "Ouch". Instead of being upset because Bai lost the Phoenix Lantern, he smiled and said, "The girl guessed the puzzle correctly. Please wait a moment. My young master wants to see the person who guessed the puzzle correctly." Man, you can get this phoenix lamp.”
Su Rong didn't expect that there was such a thing, so she nodded happily, "Okay."
So, the shopkeeper went with the puzzle.
Not long after, the shop owner came back, changed his smile and said very respectfully, "Please."
Su Rong and Zhou Gu looked at each other, then followed the owner into the store, went up to the second floor, and came to the door of a private room.
As the two people arrived, the private room door opened from the inside, and a person walked out. Su Rong and Zhou Gu suddenly stopped in their steps. They both knew this person. It was the person who was supposed to stay in the city with Nangong's direct relatives. Nangongzheng of Wei.
They claimed to control the entire Nanchu, but they didn't even get the news of when Nangong Zheng came to the capital of Nanchu.
Su Rong looked at Nangong Zheng, but his expression did not change because of his appearance in the capital of Nanchu.
Zhou Gu did the same, but raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Compared to last year, Nangong Zheng's stature has become a bit slender, and his youthful spirit has faded away. He is wearing a black light fur coat with dark stripes, his eyebrows are calm, and he said calmly: "I know that there are people in the world who can guess my riddle. I can count them on five fingers. In addition to the Prince of Daliang and the Second Young Master of Nan Chuye, they are also Xie Yuan, who was famous all over the world, as well as Grand Tutor Qin who is as famous as Xie Yuan and Young Master Zhou who he personally taught."
The prince Yuan Zhao of the Wei Dynasty was excluded by him. (End of chapter)
