Drunk House

  Chapter 16 Visiting the door

  Seeing the young master calling him, Zhou Xi immediately leaned his head over.

  Zhou Gu whispered to Zhou Xi, "From now on, find someone for me. That person is a woman, probably a farm fisherman, with the crown prince's dagger on her body. That dagger is the work of the master sculptor Zhang Chengming to seal the mountain. It is very special. The handle is full of auspicious cloud patterns. When it is baked with fire, the crown prince's small characters will be reflected. It is not difficult to recognize."

  Zhou Xi immediately asked: "Are there any other features? Like portraits or something?"

   Zhou Gu shook his head, "No."

   Zhou Xi was in a dilemma, "I'm afraid this is hard to find."

   "Then I have to look for it, I promised the prince."

  Zhou Xi nodded, okay, it turns out that the prince is looking for someone.

  Zhou Gu instructed again, "Act in secret, don't make it public."

   Zhou Xi should be.

  So, after dinner, Zhou Gu took Zi Ye for a stroll around the city, while Zhou Xi went back to arrange staff to find someone.

  For three days in a row, after Zhou Gu walked around the city, he called Zhou Xi and told him, "Send someone to post a message to the prefect's mansion in a while, saying that I will visit the mansion tomorrow."

  Zhou Xi nodded, and took the initiative to report to Zhou Gu, "I have sent people to search for two days. There are not many people in Jiangning who make a living by fishing. I have already ordered people to search those people quietly."

  Zhou Gu nodded.

  Zhou Xi immediately sent someone to post a post to the prefect's mansion. The prefect's wife was overjoyed. After accepting the post, she gave Su Rong an order, "I tell you, you look so good, so don't waste it. You have to put on a pretense for me. Don't show your true nature when you first meet to scare people and scare them away."

  Su Rong had no choice but to ask, "Mother, do I worry you that much?"

  The eldest lady said bluntly: "You have."

  Su Rong thought that it was her fault for having too many criminal records, and now she no longer has credibility in front of the eldest lady.

  The eldest lady reached out and tapped her forehead, "I tell you, don't take it seriously. I went quietly to the street with your father last night, and I saw the young man Zhou. He is really good-looking. As soon as he walks by, the big girls and daughters-in-law on the street all look at him, but he doesn't change his face. He has been here for three days, and he didn't go to the Red House Winery.

  Su Rong was shocked, "Mother, what are you and father doing? Is it necessary?"

   Actually ran to the street to peek at people? If someone finds out, where will you put your face?

  The eldest lady met Su Rong's gaze, feeling a little uneasy, "Isn't your father and I also doing this for you?"

   "I thank you all." Su Rong was speechless, "He didn't notice you, did you?"

   "No, the two of us put on people's clothes, looked at him from a distance, and didn't approach him. There were many people on the street, and he didn't notice us."

  Su Rong breathed a sigh of relief, "That's fine, otherwise, if you are found out, I will blush for you."

  The eldest lady stared, "You still blush for such an advanced thing?"

  Su Rong: "..."

  I can't talk today!

   On the second day, after breakfast, Zhou Gu took Zi Ye alone and went to the gate of Prefect Su.

  The doorman of the prefect’s mansion opened the door, and saw two young men standing outside the door. One was very good-looking, with clear eyebrows and eyes, and the other was dressed as a bodyguard, and was also very handsome. Both of them were very young. He tentatively asked: "Are you two..."

   "Zhou Gu of Duke Huguo's Mansion, come to see Su Taishou and Mrs. Su." Zhou Gu reported his name.

  The doorman was pleasantly surprised, and blurted out, "Seventh uncle?"

  Zhou Gu's face froze, what the **** is Seventh Young Master? He wanted to turn around and leave for a moment, but he held back after all.

  The doorman was also startled and lost his composure, and repeatedly pleaded guilty, "Young Master Zhou, forgive me, the villain is so excited to see you, the master and madam have already told you that if you come to the door, you don't need to report, please, please come in."

  The doorman opened the door wide, happily asked Zhou Gu to go in, and at the same time shouted to the inside: "Young Master Zhou is here!"

  Zhou Gu: "..."

   Is this the way of hospitality in the prefect's mansion?

  As the doorman yelled, the quiet Taishou mansion became lively in an instant, but everyone who heard it shouted one after another, "Master, Madam, Young Master Zhou is here!"

   There was no need for anyone to run errands to report. In just a moment, a series of shouts from different people passed from the gate of the mansion to the front yard and then to the back yard.

  Zhou Gu's forehead twitched, it was the first time he had entered someone's house and encountered such a battle. It made him feel in a trance that he was the emperor's father, and he only shouted loudly, and moved all over the house.

   "Young master, please hurry up!" Seeing Zhou Gu not moving for a long time, the doorman almost stepped forward to drag him.

   Zhou Gu gritted his teeth, barely calmed down, and walked in.

  He hadn't walked a few steps before the butler Li Fu greeted him, smiling happily, and slapped him a thousand times, "Young Master Zhou, this old slave is the housekeeper Li Fu, please come inside."

  Zhou Gu nodded and said reservedly: "Hello, Uncle Li!"

   "Oh, I can't afford it, I can't afford it. The old slave is in charge of the big and small affairs of the house, so he dare not be called the young master. The young master can just call the old slave Li Fu." The housekeeper thought that the young master Zhou was not the same as the rumors, and he was not arrogant. How could he be so polite? He was really taken aback.

  He greeted Zhou Gu all the way to the living room, and arranged for someone to serve tea, "Young master, wait a moment, the master and madam will be here soon."

  Zhou Gu nodded, walked in this way, and found that although the prefect's mansion was clean and tidy, it was not very elegant and exquisite, and the living room was also very simple. I heard people say that Prefect Su is not greedy and that Jiang Ning is very rich, but he doesn't pay much tax every year. His Majesty once sent inspectors to investigate and thoroughly investigated Prefect Su, but he really didn't find out that he was greedy for a tael of silver.

  Your Majesty didn't seem to have expected that there is really an official in this world who is not corrupt.

  Prefect Su was in the study room, and the eldest lady was teaching housekeeper Su Rong. Neither of them expected Zhou Gu to come to the door so early. When they heard someone shout, the husband and wife put down what they were doing at the same time, and hurried to the front hall from two directions.

  Before the lady stepped out of the threshold, she turned her head again, and solemnly confessed to Su Rong, "Go and dress up, I'll call someone to call you later." After she finished speaking, she didn't quite believe Su Rong, and ordered, "Mother Wang, groom her and make sure she looks good."

   Wang Ma responded with a smile, "Madam, don't worry."

  The eldest lady went with peace of mind.

See you tomorrow!
