Drunk House

  Chapter 337 Young Love (Part 1)

  The mansion in Dongsi Hutong is not big, the lively voices in the front yard can be heard clearly in the backyard.

  Su Rong yawned amidst the loud voices, "I'm sleepy."

  Duanhua was infected by her, and also yawned, "I'm sleepy too."

  Then the two of them stopped talking in a tacit understanding and closed their eyes together. Not long after, both of them fell asleep.

  The servant girl glanced at the crack of the door, then retracted her head, and whispered to the maid brought by Duanhua: "My lady and your princess are both asleep."

  The maid Qingzhi brought by Duanhua nodded, thinking that since she met Miss Su Qi, her princess’ temper has been abducted by her to make peace with her. She came to play with Miss Su Qi. Unexpectedly, when she couldn’t get out of bed, she also ran to other people’s bed and fell asleep with him in broad daylight.

  Qingzhi quietly waved to the maidservant, the maidservant understood and moved aside to talk to her.

  The two hid in the corner, Qingzhi lowered his voice and said: "You are here to guard your lady and my princess, don't let outside men come in, I will go to the front yard to order the guards, and let someone go back to the mansion to send a message to the housekeeper of the princess mansion to send some people over for a few days. The princess is right, there are too few people serving in this courtyard."

  The servant girl nodded.

   Qingzhi went immediately.

  In the front yard, Su Xing had just finished making the medicine and was about to send someone to buy it. Jiangzhou students headed by Chen Zhou and Jiang Xing all came to the door, and there were more than a dozen people who came together. Since coming to Beijing, Su Xing lived in Dongsi Hutong for a few days, and then went to Shen Mansion. After the announcement, he went out to play with a group of students for two days. Later, he accompanied Zhou Gu every day and never saw him again. Now that he heard that the announcement was about to be released, these people were too nervous and wanted to meet him together.

  Su Xing could only send someone to inform Su Rong, and he would greet the students in Jiangzhou first.

   All the students chatted noisyly for a while, and what they said was nothing more than hearing about the announcement of the rankings tomorrow. Only Chen Zhou, who pulled Su Xing, asked, "Is Su Rong in the mansion today?"

  Su Xing nodded, "Seventh Sister is indeed in the mansion, but she is receiving Princess Duanhua."

  Chen Zhou was a little disappointed, "I thought I could see her today, but it seems she has no time to see us."

  Su Xing looked at him and asked, "What do you want with Seventh Sister?"

  Chen Zhou scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment: "When Zhou Gu went to Jiangning County, I said a lot of bad things about her in front of Zhou Gu, which made her very angry. At that time, I had selfish intentions and didn't want her to marry Zhou Gu. It was also because I suddenly learned that she had an engagement. I just finished fighting with her at that time. It was out of anger... I didn't expect that she would come to Beijing to divorce Zhou Gu on my own initiative, and I didn't really want to destroy her marriage."

  Su Xing heard the words and asked, "Do you want to apologize to Seventh Sister?"

  Chen Zhou nodded.

  Su Xing nodded. Although he knew that the root cause of Su Rong and Zhou Gu's divorce was not because of Chen Zhou, he still didn't make a decision for Su Rong whether to forgive him, "She can't get away today, but she should be able to do so some other day. Just come back another day."

  Chen Zhou nodded, "That's the only way."

  He looked at Su Xingze, hesitant to speak.

   "Do you have anything to say?" Su Xing also saw that Chen Zhou liked to play with Su Rong since he was a child, and was always bullied by Su Rong.

  Su Xing lowered his voice and asked: "I heard people say that Su Rong is the princess of Southern Chu? Is this... true?"

  Su Xing nodded.

  Chen Zhou was shocked, and after a while, he asked again: "I also heard that after she divorced Zhou Gu's marriage, she made a marriage contract with the second son of Nanchu Yexiangfu?"

  Su Xing nodded again.

  Chen Zhou was startled for a moment, then asked again: "Have you exchanged Geng posts?"

  Su Xing shook his head, "Never."

  However, Su Rong has already accepted the Tiger Talisman of Ye Guixue's 100,000 soldiers, and also gave Ye Guixue his hairpin, which is equivalent to exchanging tokens.

  So, he added, "The token has been exchanged."

  Chen Zhou was shocked for a long time before he said, "So it's all true."

  Su Xing looked at him and stopped talking. He knew very well that a girl like Su Rong was not valued by the wives of the various prefectures in Jiangning County, and felt that she did not have the rules that a daughter's family should have, and was not a good candidate for a daughter-in-law, but many of the young men of the various prefectures liked her openly and secretly.

  Young and loving, such a lively and playful little girl, even if she has a bad temper, it will not delay the love of many people.

  Chenzhou is one of them, and so is Jiang Xing.

  Su Xing turned his head to glance at Jiang Xing, and saw that he was sitting not far away, and he didn't ask him about Su Rong like Chen Zhou did, but obviously, he had heard about these things a long time ago, and he should be clear that they are all true.

  He suddenly remembered what Duan Hua had said to him, reached out and patted Chen Zhou on the shoulder, reminding him, "It is said that arresting a son-in-law in Beijing is very brutal. You and Jiang Xing are both included in the arrest list. The list will be released tomorrow. If you don't want to be arrested, be careful!"

  Chen Zhou: "..."

  Jiang Xing: "..."

  They all looked at Su Xingze, shouldn't he be the one who should be caught the most?

  Su Xing smiled, "Because of my sister, there are various governments covering me, so no one dares to arrest me now."

  Chen Zhou's face suddenly showed envy, and he muttered in a low voice, "She is your sister, how nice."

  When he was young, he wanted his mother to give him a younger sister like Su Rong, but her mother angrily said that she couldn't have one. Later, he wanted to steal Su Rong away, but Su Rong beat him up, and since then he has never dared to steal her back home.

  The steward of the Princess Mansion quickly sent a group of people, including cooks, maids, sweepers, shoppers, etc., with complete equipment. These people were brought to Xie Mansion in Dongxi Hutong by the steward of the Princess Mansion.

  Su Xing heard about it and hurried out to meet people.

  The housekeeper of the princess mansion smiled and bowed to Su Xing, "The old slave was ordered by my princess to dispatch a group of manpower, and first lend it to the mansion for a few days. You don't need to be courteous, Mr. Su, just give orders at will."

  Su Xing knew that this was agreed by Su Rong, so he didn't refuse, and thanked him.

  The housekeeper saw that Su Xingze wanted to entertain the students from Jiangzhou, so he suggested with a smile, "These people brought by the old slave are all old people who can be used by the princess's mansion. They work quickly and act neatly. It's still early today. If Mr. Su keeps the guests for lunch, they can keep them busy. It's not a problem for them to make a table or two."

  Su Xing originally wanted to take the students from Jiangzhou to a restaurant on the street, but considering that Su Rong and Duanhua were in the mansion, he left and no one would take care of them. Now the group of people sent by the housekeeper of the Princess Mansion happened to be needed, so he solved this problem for him, so he simply nodded, "Okay, let's make two tables, thank you uncle for thinking about it for me."

   "No thanks, Mr. Su first entertain the guests, you are here, the old slave will make arrangements for you before you go back." The butler smiled and waved his hands, and led them to the inner courtyard.

   After the group left, Chen Zhou opened his eyes wide, and asked Su Xing, "Is this the housekeeper of Princess Qingping's Mansion?"

  The seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's gate, and the butler of the princess mansion are also of high rank.

  Su Xing nodded. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, everyone was surprised. He simply explained, "Mother and six younger sisters came in a hurry, and the servants were not with them. Aunt Shen wanted to borrow someone. Mother saw that there were not many servants in the Shen residence, so she shirked it. I didn't want Princess Duanhua to come today. After learning about the situation in the mansion, I sent people back to the mansion to dispatch these people."

   After he finished speaking, he looked at the stunned expressions of everyone and smiled, "You all stay in the mansion for lunch today!"
