Drunk House

  Chapter 90 Satisfaction (two more)

  The eldest lady glared at Su Rong, temporarily suppressing her doubts, and then told Su Rong about today's gift list.

  Her eyebrows and eyes are full of smiles, "Your gifts, everyone gave you more than your sisters' gifts, some are twice as thick, and some are two or three times thicker."

   "It has nothing to do with me." Su Rong smiled, "It's all aimed at Duke Huguo's Mansion and Zhou Gu."

  The eldest lady reprimanded her dissatisfiedly, "It's not all. Even if there is no such marriage, your gift will be thicker than that of your sisters. Your father, me, and your elder brother's face, isn't it called face?"

   Who in Jiangning County doesn't know that everyone in the whole family dotes on Su Rong.

  Su Rong smiled, and took Da Furen's arm, "I was wrong, what mother said was very true."

   Anyway, it wasn't for her, she was not likable since she was a child.

   "These gifts, since they are gifts for you, I will have them put into your treasury." The eldest lady pushed her away, "As for the gift money on the account, I will help you collect it first, lest you spend it indiscriminately."

  Su Rong has no objection, "OK."

  The eldest lady looked at her curiously, "You used to pick up two taels of silver from me, but now you have such tens of thousands of taels of silver, why don't you say you have it yourself?"

  Su Rong naturally would not say that he is not short of money now, but instead asked, "If I tell you that I want to keep it myself, will you allow me?"

   "No, absolutely not for you." The eldest lady is really afraid that she will be ruined, and she will be wiped out in a blink of an eye.

   "Isn't that enough? It's useless if I say it, why bother." Su Rong shrugged.

  The eldest lady lost her doubts in an instant, and muttered, "Yes."

   Zhou Gu walked into Dongkua courtyard, heard footsteps, Wang Ma glanced out, and immediately smiled and said: "Madam, Miss Seven, Young Master Zhou is here."

  The eldest lady was taken aback, "Why didn't he go to rest?"

   As he spoke, he looked at Su Rong.

  How could Su Rong know, shaking his head.

  The eldest lady saw that she was not sitting properly and her hair was a little messy, so she whispered, "Go and tidy up, I'll go out and have a look."

  Su Rong nodded.

  The eldest lady stood up, walked out of the back room, and came to the painting hall.

  Zhou Gu stepped up to the threshold, bowed his hands to the eldest lady, "Auntie."

  The eldest lady smiled kindly, "I was tired all day, and you drank a lot of wine, why didn't you go to rest? Come talk to Xiao Qi?"

  There are a lot of guests today, and Zhou Gu and Xie Lin are the princes and grandsons of the Gaomen mansion, they are distinguished guests, many people gathered around them to toast, and they both drank a lot.

  Zhou Gu shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not too tired. I found a book of travel notes from the study in the morning. I didn't read two pages. It was very interesting. I really missed it, so I came here to look for it."

   After he finished speaking, he saw the travel book on the table, and reached out to pick it up, "This is it."

  The eldest lady smiled, "I'm almost done here, are you watching at Xiao Qi's place? I just happen to have something to tell you."

  Zhou Gu originally planned to take the travel notes and leave, but upon hearing this, he said, "Auntie, please tell me."

  The eldest lady motioned him to sit down, and she sat down too, "That's right, the congratulatory gift from Jiangzhou Governor's Mansion is very rich." She said what she had given, and said: "There is a gift for you in it, and you confiscated it last time. Jiang Sheng and his wife sent it together as a gift with Xiaoqi and Ji, and I accepted it unceremoniously. Nephew, look at your apology..."

  Zhou Gu refused, "Since it's a congratulatory gift, Auntie just accepts it. You don't need to give it to me."

  The eldest lady looked at him, "But this gift is really too generous. Even if a family gives their daughter a dowry, it is not so rich. Although I accepted it for Xiao Qi, I also know in my heart that it is because of you that Jiangzhou Governor's Mansion is bleeding so much."

  Zhou Gu didn't care, "Auntie doesn't have to feel uneasy, just accept it in a down-to-earth manner, Jiangzhou Governor's Mansion is nothing to be afraid of."

  The eldest lady looked at Zhou Gu's expression and saw that he was talking about the Jiangzhou Governor's Mansion with a serious face and ignored it. She was relieved, "Since you don't want it, then I will put it all in the treasury for Xiaoqi, and it will be her dowry in the future."

  The implication is that the prefect's mansion doesn't want it either. The Jiji ceremony that is said to be for Su Rong is for Su Rong.

  Zhou Gu coughed in a low voice, "Auntie will make arrangements."

   "It's just this matter, there's nothing else, I'll call Xiaoqi out." The eldest lady smiled and stood up.

   Zhou Gu also stood up and stopped the eldest lady, "Auntie doesn't need to call her, she has been tired for a day, let her rest, I will go back and read this book."

  The eldest lady looked at the book in his hand, "Alright."

  Zhou Gu took the travel notes and left Dongkuayuan.

  The eldest lady went back to the back room and saw Su Rong sitting on the chair and didn't even get up to clean up. She gave Su Rong a look, "Forget about being lazy."

  With such a nonchalant temperament, she really doubts whether she will be able to please her husband in the future? Zhou Gu has been here for nearly a month, and although Su Xing deliberately kept them at a distance, after dinner they also left time for the two of them to take a walk, talk and cultivate their relationship. If it wasn't for the fact that the two of them got along quite harmoniously, Zhou Gu asked her twice to ask her to be more lenient towards Su Rong because Su Rong was tired of being the head of the house and learning the rules.

  Written in those drawing books, one look makes love at first sight, one sight, one word makes one nervous and shy for a long time, she has never seen it from Su Rong and Zhou Gu.

   Is it because she is old, or is it that young people are not obsessed with love anymore? In her opinion, neither. I'm afraid that these two children are not enlightened at all.

  Su Rong explained, "I was going to get up and tidy up, but when I heard that he was here to pick up the books, I knew he didn't plan to stay. I guess he was tired all day and wanted to go back and read in bed. After all, I stayed here and had to sit on a chair to read. How tired I am."

  The lady suddenly realized, "That's the reason."

   Several people continued to check the gift account.

   After checking for more than an hour, the check was completed. Seeing that it was dark, the eldest lady slumped her shoulders. Although she was tired, she was satisfied in her heart, "I don't worry about your dowry this time. With these gifts, it is enough to make your dowry look better."

  Su Rong reminded her, "Mother, except for the gift from Jiangzhou governor's mansion, you will have to return the gift from now on."

  The implication is that these gifts will be stored in the treasury for her. In the future, if the family returns the gifts to others, if they want to leave the grandpa, they still have to pay for it.

   "You don't need to worry about this." The eldest lady was very happy anyway, "When your eldest brother is in high school, you will receive another gift, and then you and your sisters will marry one after another. Although you have to prepare a dowry, you will also receive a dowry. Our family will continue to have happy events in the next few years."

   That is to say, in the next few years, there will be gains and losses, and no matter what, it will be equal.

   Su Rong thought about it, and immediately admired it.

  In the evening, the kitchen made porridge and made a few side dishes. The eldest lady knew that everyone was tired, so she told them not to go to the front hall to have dinner together, and asked the kitchen to send them to their respective yards.

  The eldest lady didn't leave, but stayed with Su Rong. When the kitchen brought food, the prefect Su also came to find her.

  Prefect Su drank a lot at noon, but he had a good capacity for alcohol. He sobered up before dinner and entered the Dongkua courtyard. Seeing Su Rong sitting there lazily, he looked at her with a smile, "Xiaoqi has finally grown up. Your mother must be very happy."

  Su Rong looked at the smile on Prefect Su's face, and really wanted to ask him, "Since I've grown up, should you tell me something?", but glanced at Mrs. Su from the corner of her eye, and swallowed the words back.

  Prefect Su was very happy today, turned his head and smiled at the eldest lady and asked: "Madam, is there a "Wushan Picture" in the gift received today?"

  The eldest lady nodded, "Yeah."

  Prefect Su looked at her, "Have you taken away the warehouse?"

  The eldest lady knew the elegant meaning when she heard the strings, and immediately said with a straight face: "You have taken away Xiaoqi's private treasury, so don't worry about it. It will be her dowry in the future and will be taken away by her."

  Prefect Su had no choice but to say, "Oh, she's a child, she doesn't know how to appreciate, she only spoils good things, what can I do for her?"

  The doctor doesn't care about this, "It doesn't matter whether you appreciate a good thing that is valuable, as long as it is worth money."

  Prefect Su: "..."

  He felt very itchy, and turned to Su Rong, "Xiaoqi, you can give that picture to Dad!"

  Su Rong smiled at Prefect Su, "Okay, but if father wants something from me, he has to exchange it for something of equal value."

  Prefect Su stared, "Unfilial."

  Su Rong shrugged, "I want to be a good child who listens to my mother."

  Prefect Su: "..."

  The eldest lady was very satisfied, she reached out and touched Su Rong's head, and boasted: "This year is better than previous years."

  Prefect Su looked anxiously, "I don't have any good things in the warehouse, you give it to me first, and I will exchange it with you when I have good things."

   "No." Su Rong flatly refused.

  Prefect Su was annoyed, and turned to the eldest lady, "Look at the good daughter you have raised!"

  The eldest lady glared at him, "The daughter I raised is very good, you don't need to tell me."

  Prefect Su: "..."

   This one or two, he really has no status at home.

   Happy weekend, see you tomorrow~
