Drunk House

  Chapter 44 Taohuaxi

  Zhou Gu drank two jars of wine at night, so that he slept until the sun was high the next day before waking up.

  He walked out of the room, and saw Su Rong sitting in the lobby downstairs, holding a pair of scissors and a piece of colored paper, cutting something, while Zi Ye sat aside, looking at her curiously, with amazed expressions in his eyes from time to time.

  Zhou Gu leaned on the railing and looked down for a while, but the two of them didn't notice him, so he turned back to the room and went to wash himself.

  After a while, he came out and saw that Su Rong had put down the scissors, and Ziye was holding the paper-cuts she had cut out, and was praising her repeatedly, "Miss Seven, you are so amazing, can you set up a stall with your craft? I see that the lady who sells paper-cuts in the market is not as good as you. Many people are queuing up to buy in front of her stall."

   "I just learned from her." Su Rong laughed, and when she heard the footsteps, she turned her head to look at her, and smiled at Zhou Gu, "Zhou Gu, you're finally awake."

  Zhou Gu had cleaned up, nodded to Su Rong, and glanced at Zi Ye, "How did you find it?"

   "This subordinate is ready, so I came here, son, you can't do without me." Ziye said immediately.

   "Who said I can't leave you? Yesterday you were away for a day, didn't you live well?" Zhou Gu reached for the paper-cut in his hand, "What are you cutting? Show me."

   "It's a picture of you and Miss Seven roasting chicken in Phoenix Mountain." Ziye regretted, "It's a pity that I had a stomachache yesterday and I didn't eat Miss Seven's roast chicken. I heard from the guards that Miss Seven's roast chicken was delicious. The whole Phoenix Mountain was filled with the smell of roast chicken yesterday, which made them crave. The pheasant they roasted by themselves was so unpalatable."

  Su Rongxiao.

  Zhou Gu Wenyan nodded, recalled yesterday's delicacy, "It's very good." He hit Ziye unceremoniously, "Even if you were here yesterday, you don't have a share."

  Midnight: "..."

  The love we grew up with is as thin as paper.

   Zhou Gu sat down and asked Su Rong, "Have you had breakfast?"

   "No, waiting for you."

   Zhou Gu frowned, "What are you waiting for? Are you not hungry?"

   "Hungry, I didn't expect you to sleep so late." Su Rong said, beckoning to the boy, "Bring the food!"

  The little guy responded and went immediately.

  Zhou Gu muttered, "I drank the two jugs of wine you brought back last night, and I didn't get up today. I just said drinking was a mistake."

   Su Rong guessed that this was the reason, and said with a smile, "It's okay, I added two pieces of snacks, and I'm not that hungry. Now you wake up just right, and it's the same for lunch."

   Zhou Gu nodded.

  The little boy brought the food quickly, and Zhou Gu was also hungry, so he picked up his chopsticks and stopped talking.

   After dinner, Su Rong asked, "Should we continue to go out to play? Or go back to the city?"

"Play."

  Su Rong blinked, "How many days do you plan to hang Jiang Sheng?"

   "I don't want to see him at all."

  Su Rong was surprised, "Is this okay?"

   "Why not?" Zhou Gu dismissively said, "If you are dissatisfied with me, you can go to my grandpa if you have the ability!"

  Su Rong couldn't help laughing, she was really confident because of her status, "Okay, then I will take you to play, and when you want to go back, go back."

   Zhou Gu nodded.

  Su Rong thought for a while, "Let's go to Taohuaxi! Today there are students from Jiangning who are playing with water cups. Although there are no peach blossoms falling, Taohuaxi is still worth seeing, especially the fish in Taohuaxi, which are very plump and tender. I can grill them for you."

  Zhou Gu readily agreed, "Success."

  So, Su Rong took Zhou Gu to Taohuaxi.

  Taohuaxi has a beautiful scenery and clear water. When Su Rong and Zhou Gu arrived, many people had already gathered in Taohuaxi. There were men and women. Many people were playing with water cups, and there were also many people watching and applauding. It was very lively.

  Zhou Gu is not very interested in games such as Qushui Liushang. After all, such elegant games are more popular in Beijing. He watched Su Rong for a while, then approached her and said, "People play such elegant games here. Is it not good for you to catch fish and roast it to eat?"

  Su Rong nodded, "Anyway, we just finished lunch, so we're not in a hurry to grill fish. When they're gone, we'll catch fish to grill again, so that they won't be in the way."

   Zhou Gu thought that she had plans, so he nodded.

  There was no commotion when the two came. After watching for a while, someone finally found Su Rong, "Miss Su Qi?"

   This man was a young man, elegant and delicate, his eyes lit up, and after shouting, many people immediately looked at Su Rong. For a moment, the place where Su Rong and Zhou Gu were located suddenly became the focus of the crowd, but the most focused one was Zhou Gu next to Su Rong. Some were amazed, some were puzzled, and some were stunned.

  Zhou Gu didn't expect Su Rong to attract so much attention, and even led him to be surrounded by people. He paused, turned his head to Su Rong and said in a low voice: "What's the matter with you? Wherever you go, why don't you feel uneasy?"

  Su Rong also tilted her head and said in a low voice to him, "About half of the people here have fought with me."

   Zhou Gu was speechless.

  The person who called out Su Rong's name first was Jiang Xing, a branch of Jiang Sheng's clan, the governor of Jiangzhou. He was chased by a vicious dog once, and Su Rong rescued him. Since then, he has a good impression of Su Rong. He got up and walked towards Su Rong with a surprised face, "Miss Seven, I haven't seen you for a long time, do you want to come and play together?"

   "I don't play, you guys play, I just watch." Su Rong shook his head, smiling at this man, "It's rare that the academy has a holiday, you have fun."

  Jiang Xing nodded, as if he had just discovered Zhou Gu, "This brother is..."

   "My fiance, Zhou Gu."

  Jiang Xing was startled, his face changed slightly, and he blurted out, "For the past two days, it has been rumored that you have a fiancé, yes, yes...So it is, is it true?"

   "Well, it's true." Su Rong nodded.

  Jiang Xing took a step back, as if he had realized that he was being rude, and hurriedly cupped his hands to Zhou Gu, "I'm rude, Zhou, Brother Zhou, don't blame me."

  Zhou Gu glanced at Jiang Xing, and then glanced at the many shocked eyes, thinking that it seems that his fiancee is very attractive.

  He shook his head with his hands behind his back, "Brother Jiang, you are so polite."

  He turned his head and said to Su Rong: "Let's go, go somewhere else, don't disturb others to have fun."

   The implication is, look at you, bring me here to show off, and scare away your peach blossoms.

  Although Su Rong felt that this was not quite right, she didn't understand what she meant. She waved her hand to Jiang Xing, "Go ahead and play, we won't bother you anymore."

  After the two left, it was quiet for a while.

  Jiang Xing stood where he was, without moving for a long time, when someone came over and patted him on the shoulder, and sighed, "Young Master Zhou Gu of Duke Huguo's Mansion is not something we can compare to, Brother Jiang, put your thoughts away!"

  Someone also came over and said: "I told you that this woman Su Rong should not be messed with. You must listen. If she doesn't have a marriage contract, it's fine. Maybe you have a chance based on your family background, but who knows, she has a fiancé who has been engaged since childhood, and is the youngest son of the Duke of Huguo. Isn't that staring at you?"

   "What kind of family is the Duke Huguo's mansion? How could he order Su Rong for Young Master Zhou? It's really amazing." One person also came together and said: "Could it be a concubine?"

  Jiang Xing glared at this person angrily, "Didn't you hear that? He's his fiancé. The marriage contract I made since childhood, how could it be a concubine? Do concubines need a marriage contract?"

   "That's right, I was wrong." The man quickly apologized, "Brother Jiang, don't be upset."

  Jiang Xing has always been gentle and elegant, and rarely turns against others. Since this person has lost his money, he will not say anything again, just say: "Let's continue playing!"

  Everyone looked at each other and nodded in unison. But everyone knew in their hearts that Jiang Xing liked Su Rong. As we all know, if the governor of Jiangzhou and his wife hadn't had a problem with the prefect's mansion because Jiang Yunying's marriage contract was withdrawn, Jiang Xing would have asked people to go to the door of the prefect of Su to propose marriage.

  It's doing well now, after a long time of trouble, Su Rong already has a marriage contract.

   See you tomorrow~
