Drunk House

  Chapter 27 Shocked (plus more)

  Su Rong followed Zhou Gu to the bow.

  She rolled up her sleeves, picked up the unused bamboo poles on the boat, and set up three bamboo poles. The horizontal pole was in front and the fish pocket was behind. She sprinkled a handful of fish food, and then many fish came rushing in. Seeing that the timing was almost right, she stirred the water so vigorously, and immediately several big fish entered the net pocket. Then, she took another bamboo pole and plunged it into the water quickly and accurately, several times in a row. Except for the small fish she skipped, all the other big fish were inserted into the bamboo pole in a row.

  In such a short period of time, not only did she catch five or six big fish, but she also strung five or six big fish on the bamboo pole.

  Zhou Gu opened his eyes wide in shock, staring at Su Rong's operation in a daze, and remained silent for a long while.

  Su Rong silently put away the net bag, poured the fish in the net bag into the wooden bucket, and silently picked up the fish on the bamboo pole one by one, and threw them into the wooden bucket, then looked at Zhou Gu silently.

  Zhou Gu pointed at her, "You, you, you..."

  He talked to you for a long time, but didn't say a word from you. It was really shocking.

  Su Rong sighed, "If I fish for a living, the fishermen will probably lose their jobs. That's what you want to say, right?"

  Zhou Gu wanted to say, "Who wants to say this? I want to say, you are a little girl, weak and weak, where do you have such great skills?", but he didn't say it. At this moment, he finally knew the saying that people should not be judged by appearances. His first impression of Su Rong was that she looked too weak, so that it was only at this moment that he felt such subversive cognition.

  She isn't weak at all, it's because he has bad eyesight and preconceived it.

  He squeezed his chin, but fortunately, the chin grew firmly on his face and didn't fall to the ground. He put away his stupid and stunned look, and nodded to her with complicated emotions, "Yes, so, in the future, don't easily compete with others for this matter."

  According to her fishing method, the fish in a river are scared to death, right?

   Seeing that he was not scared away, Su Rong thought that this fiancé would be able to get along with her, so she pursed her lips and smiled and nodded, "Okay."

  She was happy, and said to him sweetly: "Let's go, let's go back, and let the cook in the mansion make a whole fish feast for you tonight. The freshly caught fish are the freshest and most delicious."

  Zhou Gu also had enough of the view of the Maple Leaf River, nodded, "Let's go!"

  So, on the carriage back to the city, a bucket of fish was tied to the back of the carriage. Zhou Gu glanced back occasionally, feeling more complicated.

  Back in the mansion, it was still early, and it was time for the kitchen to prepare dinner.

  Su Rong ordered the housekeeper, "Uncle Li, ask someone to send this bucket of fish to the kitchen, and make a whole fish feast tonight."

  Uncle Li was shocked, "Miss Qi, Miss Qi, are you... the fish you bought?"

  Su Rong paused for a moment, and from the corner of the eye, Zhou Gu's expression had returned to calm. She lied in front of him without blushing, "Yes, I bought it."

  Uncle Li heaved a sigh of relief, and asked someone to take the fish away, and then asked Zhou Gu tentatively: "Young master, this old slave will take you to your yard to tidy up and rest for a while?"

   "Okay, please trouble Uncle Li." Zhou Gu nodded, no longer resisting.

  So Uncle Li enthusiastically took Zhou Gu away.

  Su Rong and Yue Wan walked into their yard.

  Yuewan whispered: "Miss, it's over, you have revealed your secrets, wait for the lady to scold you?"

   "Cheating marriage is immoral." Su Rong said solemnly: "Our family is a decent family, how can we do such a thing? Are you right?"

  Moon bend: "..."

  It’s obviously that you can’t even pretend for a day, but you still say something serious or not. If you are serious, there will be no dishonest people in the world.

  Su Rong looked at her, "Don't forget, you are also responsible for this. You are sleepy and confused, and you have cheated me. Haven't you forgotten?"

  Yue Wan made a bitter face, and was very aware of current affairs, and said righteously: "Miss, it's all to blame for that boatman. It has nothing to do with you. You are right. It is not right to cheat the marriage. How can Mrs. Madam lie to others to hide your true nature in order to marry you? You have to speak to them severely in a while, and correct their crooked ways. Our family is a serious family."

  Su Rong was satisfied, "Well, it is."

  So, the master and the servant returned to the Xikua courtyard without any burden, and hurriedly took a bath like thieves to wash off the fishy smell.

  Su Rong had just finished taking a bath when the eldest lady broke in and asked her, "Are you going to catch fish again?"

"No!"

   "The answer is so fast, it must be to catch fish." The eldest lady raised her voice and called her name, "Su Rong, you actually took Mr. Zhou to catch fish? Are you worthy of the good image I have put in so much effort to make for you?"

  She didn't give Su Rong a chance to distinguish, and scolded her, "You can just pretend for a few more days? It's only been less than a day, and you've revealed your secrets. Which man likes a wild girl? It's useless. If he doesn't marry you, I will marry you to an old fisherman and let you catch fish every day."

  Su Rong: "..."

  She touched her nose, "Mother, I don't blame me for this."

   "Why don't you blame me? You tell me about it." The eldest lady was aggressive.

  Su Rong calmly chatted with the boatman and Zhou Gu, saying that she knew how to fish, and then Zhou Gu was curious and insisted on letting her fish. She had no choice but to do it.

  The eldest lady also remembered at this time, she blocked the mouths of the people in the prefect's mansion, and she couldn't stop the traces that Su Rong had left outside the Jiangning mansion these years. She pointed at her and was so angry that she couldn't speak.

   "Mother, Zhou Gu didn't say he regretted the marriage." Su Rong was afraid of making the lady angry, "Well, he still praised me for being amazing."

  The lady was so angry that her heart ached, "Praise you for being great, what kind of good words are these? You are a lady from the prefect's mansion, and you can fish. If you say this, you will be laughed at by others."

  Su Rong immediately reminded her, "Mother is the concubine of the prefect's mansion."

  The eldest lady was angry: "What's wrong with the concubine? Isn't she a young lady?"

  Su Rong felt right, so she shut up.

  The eldest lady covered her heart, "He didn't say he regretted the marriage right away, it's because he is educated, maybe he has already thought about it in his heart now."

  Su Rong recalled Zhou Gu's stunned stupefied look and then his complicated expression. He was also uncertain, and sighed, "Hey, mother, it's always wrong to lie. Also, marriage can't be forced, let's let it be, shall we?"

  Seeing that the eldest lady's complexion was extremely bad, she stepped forward to comfort her, "Besides, even if I pretend for a few more days, it won't work. Sooner or later, I will reveal my truth."

  The eldest lady hates iron but not steel, "Then when he likes you, you can show it."

   "Isn't that okay? Wouldn't he feel cheated even more? What if he becomes angry?" Su Rong shook her head, "He doesn't seem to have a good temper."

  The eldest lady gave her a white look, "I seem to have a good temper. I'm not annoyed at forcing him to live in the mansion."

   Happy holidays, my dears, this is today’s update, see you tomorrow~
