Drunk House

  Chapter 12 Storage

  Prefect Su thought to himself, he was actually worried too.

  But in front of his wife, he still wanted to support his daughter, so he quickly pulled out the letter and gift list, coughed, and pretended to be calm, "I always believe that Xiaoqi can find a good husband."

   After all, that face is there.

  The eldest lady rolled her eyes, "Gaomen mansions all pay attention to marrying wives and virtuous people. Look at your good daughter, how can she be virtuous at all?"

  Prefect Su is not too worried about this, "She has a good face, she doesn't need to be virtuous."

  The eldest lady was angry, "She is a wife, not a concubine, so why doesn't she need to be virtuous?"

  Prefect Su rubbed his nose, "Well, ma'am, Xiao Qi grew up beside you, you are so virtuous, maybe she will be just as virtuous after she gets married in the future."

  The eldest lady was not in a good mood, "Every time you bring a concubine into the mansion, I will scratch your face once. If this is considered virtuous, then you really understand the meaning of virtuous."

  Prefect Su was embarrassed, "That's not true, but Ma'am, didn't you make a bowl of water level?"

  The eldest lady has no energy to argue with this poor man, "All these years, I have asked you to work hard to climb up, but you have been living in such a small poor place if you didn't work hard. If you had worked hard earlier and raised the lintel of our house, I would still have to worry about Xiaoqi not being able to walk sideways in her husband's house in the future? If Zhou Gu takes a concubine in the future, will she dare to scratch his face?"

  Prefect Su was shocked, as if meeting his wife for the first time, "Well, madam, do you have any misunderstandings about me? Even if I work hard day and night and don't eat or drink, I will never be able to climb to the position of Duke Protector's Mansion until I die!"

  The implication is, what are you dreaming of in Spring and Autumn, you still want Xiao Qi to dare to scratch Zhou Gu's face one day in the future? Our family has never relied on this in our entire life.

  The Duke Huguo's Mansion is the founding meritorious service accumulated over three generations.

  The eldest lady sighed, "But your good daughter, look at her temperament, she is very bad-tempered, can she be a person who can bear wronged? She is in Jiangning, it is because you are the prefect, she can get out, but she will marry into the Duke Huguo's mansion in the future. If she still does not restrain her temper and continue to be abusive, will she get out?"

   "This..." Prefect Su also felt a little worried, "Teach her more, let her change her temper."

  The eldest lady snorted, snatched the gift slip, and waved at Prefect Su in disgust, "If I could change her temper, she would have done so long ago. I'll go check the gift slip, and you should get out!"

  Prefect Su smiled flatteringly, "Madam, I will go with you to check the gift list."

  He doesn’t search for people’s fat and people’s cream, but only relies on his small income and his own salary. He has never seen these good things, and he has thought about them.

   Seeing his virtue, the eldest lady was speechless for a while, so she could only take him with her.

   Wang Ma is the neatest in doing things, so the eldest lady asked Wang Ma to count and check together. And asked Yue Wan to copy a copy of the gift list.

  Prefect Su was speechless when he saw the gift list, but now he saw the real thing, he was even more dumbfounded, and he kept muttering, "Oh, this good rosin inkstone, it's a waste for that little thing, and she doesn't often write. And this good Langhao pen, it's a waste for her, and it must be put away. And this brook flower rice paper, she doesn't like painting, if she paints and scribbles, it will be a waste..."

  The eldest lady saw that he wished she could take it away and put it into her private treasury to cherish it, but she didn't see it, she wished she could kick him, "Go away!"

  Prefect Su was aggrieved, "Madam, I'll just take a look, I won't take it."

  The eldest lady rolled her eyes and told Yue Wan, "Yue Wan, keep an eye on it. If the master sneaks along, I will deduct your monthly payment."

  Yue Wan suddenly cheered up, opened her eyes wide, stared at Prefect Su, and said loudly, "Madam, don't worry."

  Prefect Su: "..."

  He is not a thief.

  He turned his head angrily, and asked the eldest lady, "Madam, let me ask you, do I still have status in this family?"

  The eldest lady gave him a gentle smile, "Yes, all of us follow your surname Su."

  Prefect Su: "..."

   It took an hour to count the gifts from the Duke Protector's Mansion, and the Da Furen ordered Yuewan again, "Go and ask Xiao Qi, if she wants to come and see for herself the gifts from the Duke Protector's Mansion?"

  Yuewan had never seen so many good things before, so she responded happily and ran back to the courtyard.

  Su Rong was lying on the bed and fell asleep.

  Yuewan pushed her to wake her up, "Miss, Da Furen asked if you would like to go over and see the gifts that the Duke Protector's Mansion gave you. There are many, many, a car and a half full, all for you."

  Su Rong slept in a daze, not very interested, "Don't look at it, let mother put it in the warehouse, just give me the gift list."

  Anyway, she is not worried that the eldest lady will detain her. Over the years, the eldest lady has helped her save the dowry, fearing that she will waste money. Indeed, if the eldest lady didn't watch over her, she would have already lost the dowry she had accumulated over the years.

  Yue Wan was very excited, "There are so many good things."

  Su Rong couldn't open his eyes, and stretched out his hand to pat Yuewan's face accurately, "Why are you excited? In the future, if I marry into the Duke Huguo's mansion, won't there be more good things? What is so little now?"

  Yue Wan suddenly calmed down, "Miss said yes, don't worry about it!"

  The eldest lady heard Yuewan said that Su Rong didn't read it, and just took the gift list. She handed the original gift list from the Duke Huguo's mansion to Yuewan, leaving only the copy that Yuewan copied, and commented, "This is a big heart." Then she turned to Taishou Su and said, "Like your daughter, she is getting old, why are you so excited?"

  Prefect Su: "..."

   Even if he was given a hundred years to learn this skill, he would not be able to learn it.

  He watched the eldest lady seal all the gifts into Su Rong's private treasury, and put the key on him, he sighed deeply.

  Su Rong didn't read the gift list that Yuewan took back until she woke up the next day. After reading the long gift list from beginning to end, she thought to herself, the Duke Huguo's mansion is really rich.

  She heard the noise ahead, and asked, "What's the noise in front?"

  Yuewan immediately said: "The madam ordered people to repair the mansion. Didn't Mr. Zhou come to Jiangning? He said he would come to the door some other day. I don't know when he will come to the door. Our mansion has not been repaired for many years. Madam said to clean it up quickly. And Miss, we have been living in this small dilapidated courtyard. We used to be able to live casually. The broken yard, even if you can’t take it out, wouldn’t it stain his eyes? Madame asked someone to vacate the west side of her yard and let us live in.”

   "I don't want it." Su Rong objected.

  Yuewan looked at her, "Miss, it will be inconvenient for you to climb over the wall again under Madam's nose, but our small broken courtyard is really not suitable for Young Master Zhou to see, otherwise I would think that Master and Madam have been treating you harshly all these years."

   "Why did he visit my yard?" Su Rong was puzzled, "Does every fiancé visit the fiancée's yard for the first time?"

"Well…"

  Yue Wan was also asked.

   See you tomorrow~
