Drunk House

  Chapter 83 Visitors (one update)

   Xie Lin was sleepy at first, but now that he talked about this with Zhou Gu, he suddenly felt relieved.

  He looked at Zhou Gu, "But even if this is the case, isn't it impolite?"

   "How can there be so many etiquettes? We have a marriage contract, so we don't need to avoid it too much." Seeing his fussy expression, Zhou Gu added: "Grandfather said let us cultivate our relationship."

  The implication is that he followed his grandfather's order, not that he was ignorant of etiquette.

  Xie Lin tsk tsk, "When did you listen to your grandfather so politely?"

   "As for the fiancée, I naturally want to listen to my grandfather." Zhou Gu gave him a pointed look.

  Xie Lin: "..."

   Zhou Gu used to look like he didn't care about anything, but now he opens his mouth and shuts up his fiancée, it's really bullying him that he doesn't have a fiancée.

  He was speechless for a while, and whispered to him: "Well, don't you think that this Su family is very strange?"

   "Strange what?"

  Xie Lin looked at him, "Do you really want me to say it clearly? It's just the members of the Su family who are strange everywhere, different from other families."

  Zhou Gu put down the teacup, "Hehemeimei, lively and lively, no conflicts, not so many rules, parents, children, wives and concubines get along naturally and casually, and the atmosphere is harmonious. Are you referring to these?"

   Xie Lin paused, then nodded.

   "What's wrong with this?" Zhou Gu raised his eyebrows.

  Xie Lin shook his head, "Of course there is nothing wrong with it, but this is the first time I have met such a family."

  Zhou Gu stood up and patted Xie Lin on the shoulder, "Since there is nothing wrong, it means that this is very good. The families you have seen before are not like a family. It is the problem of those people. Our Duke Protector's Mansion is also harmonious."

   After he finished speaking, he yawned, "Sleep!"

   Xie Lin opened his mouth, wanting to say, "Your Duke Huguo's Mansion is not like this, and it's not like I haven't been there before. The rules of the Huguo Duke's Mansion are still very strict, and it's not so casual." But obviously Zhou Gu didn't listen to him, so he could only swallow his words, thinking that he had waited for him for an hour, and only got his two words.

  Zhou Gu went back to the room, after a simple wash, just about to lie down, Zhou Xi came over.

  Zhou Xi whispered to Zhou Gu: "Fourth Young Master, those fabrics sent by Jinxiu Pavilion today..."

  Zhou Gu knew what he was going to say, waved his hand, "Su Rong sent it."

   Zhou Xi was shocked.

  Zhou Gu naturally couldn't ask Su Rong for so many valuable things for nothing, but since she gave them away and didn't want him to pay back the money, then he would take all of it, and he couldn't send it back to Jinxiu Pavilion.

  So, he said to Zhou Xi: "I said I would give her back the silver, but she didn't want it, and said it was for me. Keep it for now. I will give it to her later when I have something good."

  Zhou Xi looked at Zhou Gu, "Those fabrics are very precious, if you return the gift in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult to return it..."

   "It's okay, I'll talk about it later, I don't have it, isn't it in my grandfather's private treasury?" Since Zhou Gu accepted it, he stopped entangled and waved his hands indifferently.

   Zhou Xi is right when he thinks about it, if the Duke Huguo’s Mansion can’t come up with good things, where else can they get them? After the fourth son said so, he had nothing to do, so he withdrew.

  The next day, people came to the Su residence one after another.

  Some are distant relatives of the Su family, some are friends of the prefect Su, and some are the family members of the Da Furen. Because of the long distance, they are afraid that they will not be able to make it to the ceremony, so they come one day earlier to give Su Rong the ceremony.

  Early in the morning, the Su residence became lively.

  After Zhou Gu woke up, he heard the bustling voices in front of him, and asked the cleaning boy, "Why is it so lively? Isn't it tomorrow that your seventh lady's wedding ceremony will be held?"

  The little boy replied with a smile, "Back to the young master, he is a relative and friend of the master and his wife. Because of the long distance, he came a day earlier."

  Zhou Gu suddenly realized, "Is the Jiji ceremony of the ladies of the Su family so crowded with so many people?"

   A consecration ceremony is too important! It's not a wedding!

   "No, only our seventh lady's wedding ceremony was so lively. The previous ladies' wedding ceremony didn't have so many people." The boy said in a low voice.

  Zhou Gu raised his eyebrows, "Why?"

  Aren’t concubines the same? Could it be because Su Rongchang is more beautiful and better-looking? More likes?

  The boy approached Zhou Gu, and said in a softer voice, "Because everyone knows that Miss Seven is the lifeblood of Mrs. Madam."

  Zhou Gu: "..."

   Sure enough, it was because I liked Su Rong more.

  He was thinking about the other six young ladies of the Su family. According to him living in the Su mansion these days, he found that they were really well-behaved, and they didn't behave in the slightest. Everyone only did their own things every day. Although they were not very close to Su Rong, they didn't feel any jealousy.

  He sighed in his heart, he didn't know whether he should exaggerate his wife's ability to raise his daughter, or should praise Su Rong for not being jealous.

  He waved his hand at the boy, not wanting to be surrounded by the bustle today, and just leave it to tomorrow to deal with it, so he turned his head and called Xie Lin to the back room, "Are you all right? Master will take you out of the city to play, will you go?"

   "Go, go!" Xie Lin hurriedly responded.

  So, the two packed up and left the city.

  Su Rong was picked up by the eldest lady. Hearing that Zhou Gu and Xie Lin had gone out to play, she was very envious. She didn't want to play with them yesterday, and she couldn't go if she wanted to play today.

  After seeing off another group of people, she secretly sighed.

  The eldest lady glanced back at her, lowered her voice and said, "Why are you sighing? How many people are there? When you marry into the Duke Protector's Mansion, you will be a real noble family, and you will have to deal with really many talents. If you don't take the opportunity to practice now, your scalp will feel numb in the future."

  Su Rong reminded her, "Mother, Zhou Gu Xingsi, welcoming and sending these things are what the grandson-in-law of the Duke Huguo's mansion should do, and have nothing to do with me."

  The lady laughed angrily, "Don't think that way, the eldest grandson Zhou Wei is Zhou Gu's elder brother, once there is a big banquet at home, don't you, sister-in-law, really stand by and not help the elder sister-in-law?"

  Su Rong blinked, "No way!"

  The eldest lady glared at her, "All sensible people should help."

  Su Rong tilted his head, "But I'm not very sensible, can I be lazy?"

  Madam: "..."

  This poor child is so heartbroken, I'm really worried about her future!

  The eldest lady thinks that Su Rong can't teach well, she doesn't have that awareness at all, don't look at her earnestly learning the rules from Zhao Mama and learning the etiquette tricks of being greeted and sent by high-ranking families, but she has been crooked since she was a child, and even if she learns, she just understands it.

  Her greatest expectation for her is to be able to put on a show, and that's not bad.

  The eldest lady sighed, as expected, the bottom line for parents to indulge their children can be lowered again and again.

  Su Rong took the eldest lady's arm, put half of her body against her to save herself some standing strength, and comforted her softly and calmly, "Mother, what are you worried about? Anyway, I am a little concubine, and others will not ask too much of me."

  The eldest lady was angry, "Can't you let others look at you high and make them drop their jaws?"

   "It's not good to be too showy, and shoot the top bird." Su Rong said with a serious face, "Especially if it doesn't match your identity, there is no benefit, only harm."

  Madam: "..."

   This is reasonable, she was almost persuaded by her.

  She stared, "Then how about you set up your own family in the future? Don't you need to welcome and send?"

   "There is Zhou Gu here." Su Rong is very bachelor, "He understands everything."

   "He's a man, and there are things a man should do. Do you want him to worry about backyard chores and diplomacy with your wife every day?" The eldest lady disapproved, "If you weren't my daughter, I really wanted to put you in the water and wash your mind. How dare you say such a thing? What are you thinking about all day long."

   "Then find a powerful nanny in charge." Su Rong was thinking.

  The eldest lady educated her, "Mammy is a nanny, how can you compare to Madam?"

  Su Rong continued to make assumptions, "Then give him a few more concubines, and ask for those who are good enough to be housekeepers."

  The eldest lady was speechless, "The wives walk around and deal with each other, and you let your concubine stand out? Wouldn't it offend a dead person."

  Su Rong continued to make plans, "Then marry Zhou Gu a flat wife, a flat wife is always good enough."

  The eldest lady almost twisted her nose in anger, "Su Rong, you are really good."

   In order to hide from laziness and dislike trouble, he even said the words of marrying Zhou Gu a flat wife. Fortunately, Zhou Gu couldn't hear it, otherwise he didn't know how he felt.

  The doctor was angry and said nothing, lowered her voice and asked angrily: "Are you willing to share Zhou Gu with others?"

  Su Rong: "..."

  This, really reluctant!
