Xu Guogong's Mansion.
The night was dark, and lanterns and oil lamps were lit inside and outside the house, but they could not brighten Xu Guogong's gloomy face.
Mrs. Xu Guogong sat at the table and quietly observed her husband's expression while drinking tea.
he is very angry.
Mrs. Xu Guogong sighed secretly and said bravely: "If it were another family, I would also think about whether something went wrong, but that is Uncle Chengyi's house..."
Regret the marriage?
impossible.
"How is it impossible?" Xu Guogong sat down, "You don't know what Ke'er looks like?"
Mrs. Xu Guogong smiled coquettishly: "Ke'er is young, and there are always a group of unmotivated people around him. It will be fine when he gets married."
"I'm afraid he won't be able to get his wife back!" Xu Guogong scolded.
The Duke's wife shut up.
It has been two quarters of an hour before and after, and after talking and talking, I am still walking in circles.
Even if you don't believe in your own son, you should believe in Uncle Chengyi.
How could such a respectable family as the uncle deny the marriage just because Ke'er loved to drink and hang out?
Who doesn’t drink wine?
It’s Mr. Xu Guogong...
She rolled her eyes behind her husband's back, Xu Guogong himself was an alcoholic!
Duke Xu asked, "Ke'er hasn't returned home yet?"
The nanny on the side came up and replied: "Not yet, I just said I went to have a drink."
"Go to the concierge and tell him to stay in my study when he comes back," Xu Guogong finished, then scolded his wife, "A loving mother often loses her son! Sooner or later, she will be spoiled and become lawless!"
The Duke's wife couldn't hear this: "Am I the only one who is used to it? The Duke is not used to it? The old lady is not used to it?"
Not enough words to speculate.
Xu Guogong was not in the mood to argue, so he simply strode to the front study.
The Duke's wife murmured a few words with a sullen face, and asked her grandma: "Is it possible that Uncle Chengyi really has some evil intentions? I went over today and didn't notice it!"
"How is that possible! Her old lady is so thin-skinned!" Mammy tried to persuade her, "Our third master has a dignified appearance, a gentle temper, and he couldn't be more considerate. If he regrets his marriage, he won't be able to find such a good family even if he holds a lantern. My uncle!"
The Duke's wife nodded in agreement.
In the front, Xu Guogong waited until halfway through the fourth watch, when everyone was dozing off on the imperial chair, and then waited until Su Ke came back.
"You don't look like someone getting married!" Xu Guogong pointed to the sky and said, "Look, look, it's almost dawn!"
Su Ke shrank his neck: "Isn't it true that we haven't gotten married yet..."
"You are still reasonable! Uncle Chengcheng's house has changed the wedding date to next year, you kid!" Still not satisfied with the scolding, Xu Guogong took two steps forward and slapped his son on the back with his big palm, "What are you talking about!"
Su Ke let out an ouch, lost his balance and stumbled.
The dawn wind blows in my face, carrying a sweet fragrance of rouge.
Xu Guogong's nose moved and he was stunned for a moment. Then he reacted, grabbed Su Ke's collar, leaned over and took a deep breath.
The vulgar aroma made his forehead buzz.
What kind of person would use such a tacky scent?
How close do two people have to be to get such a strong smell?
Xu Guogong gritted his teeth: "Your boy actually slept with a prostitute?"
Su Ke was discovered by his father and said hurriedly: "No, no! I didn't drink flower wine, no! It's just a little lady, you and I are willing to..."
"What the hell!" Xu Guogong cursed in anger.
After scolding Su Ke and seeing Su Ke admitting his mistake, Xu Guogong let him go.
At a young age and with no hidden diseases, it is normal for him to want to be close to a woman.
There's no one in the house, so go look outside, that's all.
"You want a woman? Don't you have a woman after you get married?" Xu Guogong said, "Cut off that end before there is more than half a year! Don't let your mother know about this."
"More than half a year?" Su Ke realized later, "Isn't her family urging the end of the year?"
"Didn't I just tell you that I will go next year instead!" Xu Guogong snorted, "You have a tighter skin. Uncle Chengcheng's house seems to be nothing fancy in the court, and he has to ask me to support him, but he has a good reputation, and he has a good reputation. There is a favored princess, if this marriage goes bad, I will skin you!"
Su Ke was full of dissatisfaction: "Then why don't you propose marriage to the princess?"
Xu Guogong laughed angrily: "You dare to think about Princess Ning'an? She is the sweetheart of Cining Palace, and her mother died with the late empress to save His Highness the Crown Prince. Who do you think you are?"
Su Ke didn't talk back, only felt disgusted in his heart.
Being a kid is nothing, but being a father is not a big deal.
In order to scold him, his father scolded himself.
Xu Guogong lectured a few more words, and when he was about to wash up and prepare to go to court, he finally said: "Cut it off cleanly, do you understand?"
Su Ke responded well. After Xu Guogong left, he went back to the house and took a nap.
He slept until noon, then got up, took a bath, changed clothes, and went out again.
At noon when the building is full of gold, business is booming.
The Liumingxuan Tea House next door is not yet lively, and preparations are being made in the lobby.
Chen Gui walked in quickly, without asking the waiter to guide him, and went straight to the second floor and opened the door of the Dizi Room.
The person entered and the door was closed again. Chen Gui walked around the screen and saw the person sitting at the table, doubts crossing his face.
The person who called him here was the boy who delivered the message for the third lady last time.
But how could the person sitting here now be the princess?
Still puzzled, Chen Gui's etiquette was still in place: "I've kept you waiting for a long time."
Lin Yunyan saw his confusion and said, "I have something else to ask you about, and I can't let my uncle know about it, so I asked my aunt for help."
When Chen Gui heard this, he hurriedly said: "If you have anything to do, just give me my instructions."
"You move around the capital a lot. Do you recognize the third young master of Duke Xu's residence?" Lin Yunyan asked, "The one who wants to marry my eldest sister."
"I do recognize him," Chen Gui thought for a moment and added, "He doesn't recognize me."
"It's best if he doesn't recognize you." Lin Yunyan took out a piece of paper from her sleeve and handed it to Chen Gui.
Chen Gui took it and looked at it. There were four addresses written on it. They were all in the west part of the city, and they were still some distance away from each other.
"People need to take a look at these houses. Mr. Su seems to show up often," Lin Yunyan said. "We need to find out who lives in them."
At Chen Gui's age, he is well-informed. How could he not know the meaning behind these words?
Young Master Su San is raising people, and he is raising people all over the place!
This side is still discussing marriage with the eldest daughter of the uncle's house, but the other side is so ridiculous.
"Don't worry," Chen Gui said angrily, "Once we find out his whereabouts, we will go find him and see what he says!"
"We're not going," Lin Yunyan sighed, "You also know my grandmother's temperament. She can't bear to do anything in a big way, so I came to you quietly. I'll think of a solution after I understand the situation."
Upon hearing this, Chen Gui's shoulders couldn't help but sink.
He has a heavy burden and great responsibility!
