Drunk House

  Chapter 379 is different (one more)

  Night after day and midnight, the medicine that Su Rong prepared for Zhou Gu was completely finished.

  She put a label on it, put it in a jade bottle that Feng Ling bought in advance, sealed it with wax, and it lasted for several hours. Then I packed them in sachets, seven or eight sachets were fully filled, and handed them to Zhou Gu together, yawning and waving to him, "Let's go, I won't see you off tomorrow."

  Zhou Gu: "..."

  Although he wanted Su Rong to send it to him, but seeing her tired face, he was too embarrassed to say so. He took a series of sachets and asked her in a low voice: "Is there nothing you want to tell me?"

  Su Rong yawned and thought about it, "No."

  Zhou Gu had no choice but to say, "I heard from Brother Su that he will go to Northern Hebei after he was appointed as an official in Qionglin Banquet. You plan to go too. I will go to Nanping first. As for Northern Hebei... I will not go. I will go directly to Southern Chu."

  He felt that he still had to find out the specific situation inside Nanchu for her in advance, after all, there would be discrepancies depending on the dossiers included by the prince alone. The people he sent out checked the news from the Ye Xiang Mansion and said that there seemed to be no problem, but because the time was too short, it was better for him to check it himself in advance and rest assured.

  Su Rong nodded, "OK."

  Zhou Gu looked at her and asked: "Everywhere I go, can I send you a letter?"

  Su Rong has no objection, "Yes."

  Zhou Gu was a little bit reluctant, "Then I'm leaving?"

  Su Rong waved his hand, "Let's go!"

  Zhou Gu sighed silently, turned around and left with the sachet in hand.

  Su Rong leaned against the door frame and watched him dawdling out of her yard, a little amused in her heart, rubbed her sleepy eyes, turned and went back to the house.

  Feng Ling poked her head out quietly, and asked Su Rong at the door, "Sister, will you wake me up tomorrow morning to see you off?"

   "No need." Su Rong said if she didn't send him off, she wouldn't send him off. She still has things to do tomorrow.

  Feng Ling retracted her head, "All right!"

   It was past midnight when Zhou Gu returned to Duke Huguo's mansion. His wife was waiting for him in his room. As soon as he stepped into the threshold, he asked, "Mother, why didn't you go to bed? Are you still waiting for me so late?"

   "I can't sleep anyway, so I'll wait for you." Mrs. Guo looked at him, her clothes were wrinkled, her body smelled like medicine, her eyes and eyebrows were tired, but she was very energetic, she asked him with a smile: "You also followed the medicine?"

   "Yes." Zhou Gu nodded, took off the sachet, and handed it to Mrs. Guo, "Mother, look, these medicines are made by Su Rong for me."

   Mrs. Guo was surprised, "So many? Are they all made by herself?"

  She picked up one of the bottles, saw the label on it, and was taken aback, "This medicine... is the creamy jade satin ointment sold in the medicine hall?"

   "Yes, it is the creamy jade satin cream you know."

   Mrs. Guo asked: "How could she have the prescription for this ointment? Could it be that her business has entered the medicine hall?"

   Zhou Gu shook his head, "I don't know either."

  Of course he would not say that Su Rong borrowed this prescription from the Great Buddha Temple with his eyes for five thousand taels of silver.

   "Your grandmother bought you two bottles, and I bought you two bottles, which are already in your luggage, but here you are..." Mrs. Guo counted, "Five bottles?"

  Zhou Gu curled the corner of his mouth, "Five bottles are enough. You and grandma prepared it for me, so don't take it with you, just keep it at home!"

   "It's enough. But poor family and rich road, you bring more, we feel at ease." Mrs. Guogong looked at the smile on her son's face. After such a long time, the smile on his face was rare and rare. She looked at the medicine bottles and labels on the table one by one. Except for the creamy jade satin ointment, they were all rare and good medicines that were hard to find in the Duke of Huguo. In this comparison, the medicines prepared by Princess Sheng'an and her preparations were compared, except for the creamy jade satin In addition to ointments, other medicines for bruises and so on should be very common.

   Mrs. Guogong's heart was touched. She lived a long time, so she naturally knew that looking at a person, you can't look at what she said, but what she did. Looking at it now, how can Su Rong be ruthless to her son? Clearly you care a lot? These precious medicines are handmade, not to mention priceless, even this kind of heart is really invaluable.

  She tentatively asked Zhou Gu, "Since that day when you went to Dongsi Hutong, have you been making medicine with her?"

  Zhou Gu nodded and shook his head, "She went to the palace to visit His Majesty during the day, and stayed in the palace for half a day. The rest of the time, she was giving me medicine."

   Mrs. Duke nodded, "What did she say to you these two days?"

  Zhou Gu thought for a while, and what Su Rong talked about the most was to explain to him the medicinal materials and the secrets and methods of making medicines, and let him carry the prescriptions in the medical books with him. The rest didn't seem to say anything, she treated him casually, she seemed to have returned to the past, but she didn't seem to have returned. When she was in Jiangning County, she was more cautious and tempted and tricked everywhere. Later, she was mostly distant and silent when facing him. Now she speaks casually and treats him no closer than Feng Ling Su Xingze, but it seems that there is no alienation or alienation.

  He shook his head, "Taught me medicine, and the rest is gone."

   Mrs. Guo nodded, "You must be careful when you go out. If you have any difficulties, write a letter and don't hold back. Our family is not an ordinary family. There is no reason for you to make it difficult for you to walk outside. This is what your grandfather and grandmother meant."

   "I see." Zhou Gu smiled, "Don't worry, mother, I'm not stupid."

   Mrs. Guo also smiled, "Yes, you have been the most obedient since you were young."

  If it weren't for his appearance and temperament, I'm afraid that little girl Su Rong wouldn't treat him like this. A pleasant person can be warmed up when he meets a cold person.

  She felt relieved and stood up, "You don't have to get up too early tomorrow, and leave after getting enough sleep. Anyway, it's not a hurry. Put away these medicines carefully, and rest earlier!"

  Zhou Gu nodded in agreement, and sent her out of the room, "Mom, go and rest, my son will sleep right away."

  The Duke’s wife nodded, and left Zhou Gu’s house, and the servant girl carried the lamp, and returned to her yard.

  After Mrs. Guo left, Zhou Gu carefully put away the sachet containing the medicine bottle, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

   On the second day, after dawn, he got up, had an early meal, packed up, and went to the yard of Princess Sheng'an.

  All the people from the Duke Huguo's mansion had already waited in the courtyard of the Grand Princess Sheng'an, even the old Duke Huguo was there.

  Zhou Gu bid farewell to the old Huguogong, Princess Sheng'an, Mrs. Guogong and others. They sent them to the gate of the mansion, hugged the red-eyed Princess Sheng'an and Mrs. Guogong one by one, and waved to everyone.
