Drunk House

  Chapter 324 As promised (second update)

   On the second day, after breakfast, Ye Guixue went to the Xie Mansion in Dongsi Hutong as scheduled.

  The eldest lady got up on time, and after tidying up, she went to look for her in Su Rong's yard. Before Su Rong got up, she rushed into the house and picked her up from the bed.

  Su Rong lost the eldest lady to grab the bed with her, and slept well, even though she felt a little early, she was not sleepy anymore, so she obediently dressed and went to the ground.

  After she was done washing up, she and the eldest lady went to the front hall.

  In the front hall, Su Xing and the six young ladies from the Su Mansion were already waiting for them.

  The eldest lady pointed at the six young ladies to teach Su Rong, "Look at your sisters and then at you, you have never seen you being so lazy before. When you were in Jiangning County, didn't you get up on time? Why are you so lazy now?"

  Su Rong has a good reason, "When I was in Jiangning County, I didn't need to waste my brain. When I came to the capital, I spent my brain every day, so I need more rest."

  The eldest lady choked, thinking it made sense, she stopped preaching to her.

  Su Rong sat next to the eldest lady, turned her head to Su Xing and asked, "Brother, do you want to go shopping with us today?"

  Su Xing nodded, "You can't just let Mr. Ye Er accompany you, I should be with you."

  Su Rong nodded.

  The eldest lady was very satisfied, "Your elder brother is much more sensible than you."

  Su Rong did not refute this.

  Su Xing laughed, "It's rare to hear my mother praise me, I almost thought my son wasn't my own."

  After all, the night before last, he heard that Concubine Zhengui had sent someone to kidnap them, and then he hurried out of the Shen residence to meet her. She sat in the carriage without even showing her face.

  The eldest lady snorted, "If you had married earlier..."

   "Mother." Su Xing hurriedly cut her off, "Get the younger sisters' marriages done first, and my son is not in a hurry."

  The eldest lady also knows that there is no rush. His son has a promising future. The more he goes up, the better he will be able to match his family background. A man who is thirty can marry eighteen, but the daughters of the family can't wait.

  Su Rong also felt that Su Xing was not in a hurry, and said to the eldest lady: "Mother, when the list is released, it is better to send the guards in the house to watch the list. Brother can't go in person, so as not to be caught by the list, and you have to marry if you don't want to."

  The eldest lady has also heard this. Every three years when the results of the scientific examination are released, there are guards sent by major mansions under the rankings in the capital. When they see a handsome student who has been named on the gold list, they will **** them home like robbers and force them to marry their own girls.

  However, students of scientific examinations, who have studied hard for ten years and are waiting for the results to be released, how can they resist not going to see the results in person? Could it be that those who waited for a rabbit were caught?

  The eldest lady felt that it was reasonable, "You don't need to let the guards go, we will go and see when the time comes, if you don't want to marry a wife early, you can listen to it at home."

  Su Xing helped his forehead, "Where is it as serious as you said?"

  Su Rong tut-tsk, "Brother, do you have any misunderstandings about your appearance and knowledge? How many people want you to be the son-in-law of Chenglong Kuai. Several major casinos in the capital have gambled, and at least half of them bet on you to win the championship. It is said that there are many young ladies with servants and guards who personally go into battle to rob people. If you don't take it seriously, if you are caught, we will have a sister-in-law."

  Su Xing coughed lightly, "Okay, I'm not going out of the house when the list is released, so hurry up and have a meal, and it's time for Master Ye to come to the door later."

   Sure enough, Ye Guixue came to Xie's mansion shortly after eating breakfast.

  The concierge came to report that Young Master Ye was waiting at the gate of the mansion, and the eldest lady, Su Xingze, Su Rong, and the six ladies left Xie's mansion together.

  Ye Guixue had already got off the carriage, and stood tall at the gate of the Xie Mansion, with Ye Qiuying by his side. When the two of them saw the eldest lady and others coming out, Ye Guixue bowed her hands to salute one by one, and then introduced Ye Qiuying to the eldest lady, and let Ye Qiuying see the ceremony.

  The eldest lady smiled and looked at the little girl, she liked it very much, "Oh, this little girl is carved with jade, her eyes are really big, she is as cute as our little seven when she was a child."

  She took out a square box and handed it to Ye Qiuying, "Come, Grandma Su will make up for your birthday gift."

  Ye Qiuying looked at Ye Guixue, saw Ye Guixue nodding to him with a smile, she stretched out her hand to take it, and thanked sweetly, "Thank you, Grandma Su."

  The eldest lady touched Ye Qiuying's little face with a smile, her face was full of kindness, "You are such a cute little girl, grandma likes you." Then, she took Ye Qiuying's little hand, "Come on, how about riding in my car with Grandma Su?"

  Ye Qiuying nodded obediently.

  The eldest lady led Ye Qiuying into the car prepared by the government, then waved to Su Rong, "Xiao Qi, sit with Gui Xue."

  Su Rong didn't want to squeeze in with the elder ladies and sisters at first, so he got into Ye Guixue's carriage naturally. Seeing Su Xing, he wanted to go to his own carriage, and waved to him, "Brother, come up, let's go together."

  Su Xing took a look at Ye Guixue and Su Rong, and got into the carriage with them.

  Three carriages left Dongsi Hutong and drove towards the most prosperous market in the capital.

  In the carriage, Su Xing chatted with Ye Guixue for a few words, and then talked about learning. Su Rong was listening, and suddenly regretted sitting with the two of them. She would rather listen to her sisters talking about what rouge and gouache they like, than listen to the two discussing the past and the present.

   But she didn't interrupt them unwisely after all.

   After a while, Ye Guixue found that Su Rong hadn't spoken since getting in the car, and she was rather drowsy. She tilted her head and asked her softly, "Did you sleep well last night?"

   "Sleep well."

  Ye Guixue was extremely intelligent, and asked with a smile: "That's why we talk about learning, are you bored?"

  Su Rong rubbed his nose, "It's okay, you say your own."

  Su Xingze said at this time: "Don't worry about her, she didn't like to read when she was a child, and she didn't like to listen to articles even more when she grew up. If she hadn't been forced to do so, she would never see her taking literature and history books."

  Ye Guixue laughed, "Xiaoqi is smart and has a photographic memory. It doesn't matter if you don't learn it, and it doesn't matter if you don't like it."

  Su Xing nodded, "That's true. Fortunately, she has this innate ability, otherwise she would be really ignorant."

  Su Rong propped her chin, wanting to refute that ignorance is used to describe a dude. If she is a daughter, if she is not a princess, what would she need so much knowledge for? And you can't seal the marquis and pay homage to the prime minister. But the **** things she has done since she was a child can also be regarded as a dude's evaluation, so she didn't refute.

  Su Xing asked Ye Guixue, "It is said that there are women's schools in Southern Chu?"

  Ye Guixue nodded, "It is a royal women's school that our king insisted on running five years ago. Girls who are eager to learn in junior high school can pass the exam and enter the school. In fact, it is also to train useful people for the queen. After all, the princess is going to take over the throne. Because she is a daughter, it is more convenient to have her family by her side."

  Su Xingze also had to admit at this time that the King of Southern Chu had really done a lot for Su Rong, and praised: "The King of Southern Chu really has a far-reaching plan. It must have been very difficult to advance at the beginning, and he suffered a lot of obstacles, right?"

  Ye Guixue nodded, "Indeed."

  After all, the status of women is not high. Although there is a precedent in Southern Chu where women are kings, the status of women is higher than that of Wei and Daliang women, but it is only relatively speaking. Especially the establishment of women's schools in Southern Chu is a precedent, which has been opposed by some scholar-bureaucrats.
