Drunk House

  Chapter 5 Regret

  The old protector of the country was furious when he heard the words.

   Angry, he pointed at Zhou Gu and scolded, "You bastard, you learned how to **** women, and learn to look down on people? Your grandfather and I were born with mud legs, and you are used to treating yourself as rich and precious? What happened to the little concubine in Jiangning County? You despise others, and maybe others will despise you for being an **** and not knowing what to do."

  Zhou Guzheng was happy, "That's better, just regret the marriage."

   "How dare you!" The old Huguogong slapped the table vigorously, "I tell you, this marriage contract was made by your grandfather and I personally. If you dare to say the word "repentant marriage", you will get out of the Huguogong's mansion. From now on, you will not be a descendant of my Huguogong's mansion."

  Zhou Gu was taken aback.

  The old protector had a sullen face and warned sternly, "Let me tell you, if your third brother hadn't been born prematurely and weak, I was afraid that he would die early. This marriage would not be your turn."

   Zhou Gu thought of the third brother who is now in good health, and had an idea, "Then change it now?"

  The old Hu Guogong glared at him, "Since you have been engaged, it is you. The marriage letter with the date of birth has been fixed, and your name is written on it. How can it be changed again? What is it like?"

  Zhou Gu felt restless, "Grandfather, I don't understand. Jiangning is thousands of miles away from the capital, and our family has nothing to do with the prefect of Jiangning. Why did you order me a concubine from his family?"

  The old Huguogong didn't want to say more, "His family is kind to me, and you don't care about the rest."

  Zhou Gu was unconvinced, "Repay your kindness, what will you do with me?"

  "You are the only one suitable for our family. I have raised you for many years, so you shouldn't pay me back?" Seeing Zhou Gu's resistance in every possible way, the old Huguogong warned again and again, "There is no need to discuss this matter. Unless you are not a descendant of the Duke Huguo's family, as long as you are a descendant of the Duke Huguo's mansion, you have to listen to me."

  So domineering, just like when he was not sent to the army but sent to the study.

   Zhou Gu was furious, "Then don't order me a little concubine!", but when he thought about it, the Su family seemed to have no prostitutes, they were all concubines, and he was speechless.

  The old Huguogong looked at him and made a decision, "Su Rong, the daughter of Taishou Su, was ranked seventh. Her biological mother died of illness eight years ago, and she still has one month to marry. You went to Jiangning to attend her wedding ceremony in person, which also shows that our Huguogong Mansion will keep the promise to get married."

   Zhou Gu didn't even want to refuse, "I won't go!"

  The old Hu Guogong glared, "We must go!"

  Zhou Gu stared at Duke Hu Guo.

  Master Hu Guo ignored his resistance and made arrangements, "You will leave Beijing with the Su family's guards in two days. I will prepare a gift for you. You go early and stay in Jiangning for a few more days. You are young and not in control. I am a little worried. You take a steward and bring more guards. You will come back after the little girl and the ceremony. At that time, I will arrange for your mother to go to Jiangning with the official media to discuss marriage."

  Zhou Gu was upset, "Her gift is just a gift, even if it's a marriage, can't it be enough to send a steward to give the gift? Why do I have to go in person?"

   "Going by yourself is to represent the importance that the Huguo Mansion attaches to this matter, to show your attitude, and to reassure the Su family. After all, there has been no contact for so many years." The old Huguo Gong said: "Our Huguo Mansion has been standing on a high place, with a big tree attracting the wind, and there are many people staring at it. Get up."

  Zhou Gu was very puzzled, "What kind of favor is it? You don't hesitate to sell your grandson, and you still value it so much?"

  The old Huguogong wanted to slap him, "Why sell grandson? It sounds so ugly. It's good to have two surnames." Seeing Zhou Gu's unhappy face, he said angrily again: "If you followed the family's view, your grandmother was a princess back then, and she wouldn't have married me. I wouldn't have your father and you. What happened to the concubine? Our Huguogong's mansion doesn't pay attention to the family, put away your displeased look, and make me bored."

  Zhou Gu wanted to say that you are tired of me, but I am still tired of you. Seeing that the old Hu Guogong was determined and his face showed no resistance, he simply shut up and stopped arguing with him, "All right, all right! Just go!"

  He wanted to see who made his grandfather pay so much attention to someone who even said the words to drive him out of the house.

   Seeing that he agreed to come down, the old protector was satisfied, and waved to him, "Go away!"

   Zhou Gu turned and left without saying a word.

   Coming out of the old Huguo Gong's study, he got an errand that he didn't like. Zhou Gu was upset and lost the interest to go out for horse racing, so he simply went back to his own Shuanglin Garden.

  Ziye, the personal bodyguard who grew up with him since he was a child, saw his gloomy expression, and felt that he was obliged to solve his master's worries, so he asked, "Master, what's wrong with you? The old man specially trained you again because of Miss Qin?"

"no."

  Zi Ye looked at him, "Is that because I heard that you are going to go out for a horse race, and you are not allowed to go?"

   "Neither."

  Zi Ye was puzzled, "That's..."

  Zhou Gu was angry, "If Xie Lin knew that I was going to marry a concubine, he would laugh at me to death."

  Zi Ye was startled, "Is your marriage going to be put on the agenda?"

   "Yeah." Zhou Gu was so annoyed that he was about to die, "The little concubine in Jiangning County is about to pass away, my grandfather asked me to attend her ceremony in person, and I will leave in two days."

  He lay down on the bed, covered his face with a book, and said in a low voice, "It's so annoying, my grandfather said that if I dare to regret my marriage, he will drive me out of the house."

  Ziye took a deep breath and felt that he couldn't solve this worry. Seeing that Zhou Gu was about to be annoyed, he carefully suggested, "The Eldest Princess loves you the most, and Madam, if you don't like it, can you ask the Eldest Princess and Madam to make the decision for you?"

   "If my grandmother didn't agree with this marriage, my grandfather wouldn't have made an appointment for me back then. Not to mention my mother, she has always followed my grandfather's lead. It's useless to find them. This family is my grandfather's words."

  Zi Ye sighed, "There is no other way, it seems that you can only marry."

   Can't really be kicked out of the house, right? In that case, Xie Xiaowang should read the young master's jokes even more.

  He felt strange, "Did the old man say the reason? Why did you insist on marrying a little concubine from Jiangning County?"

   "It is said that the Su family is kind to him, but what kind of kindness is specific, don't let me inquire." Zhou Gu didn't bother to inquire, "It seems that I can only be laughed at by Xie Lin."

  Zi Ye thought about the scene of the young prince Xie laughing at the son, held back for a while, and could only suggest, "If the young prince laughs at you, there is no other way, you can only beat him."

  Zhou Gu removed the book on his face, looked at Zi Ye, "Why are you so violent?"

  Zi Ye was serious, "Didn't you say since you were a child that you can do it, don't talk nonsense?"

  Zhou Gu was speechless, "If I hit him again, my grandfather will probably hit me again. I will lie in bed for another seven days because of him. It's not worth it."

  He sat up, and thought maliciously, "Tell me, Xie Lin hasn't engaged yet, if he also arranges a bad marriage, won't he just have the same relationship with me, and don't even think about laughing at me in the future?"

  Midnight: "..."

  He scratched his head, "Really?"

   "Then I have to think about it and think of a way to let Xie Lin marry a little concubine." Zhou Gu lay down again and thought to himself, "Xie Lin likes a gentle, scheming and beautiful woman like Qin Luan, but such a girl can't be cultivated by ordinary small families. Where can I find him to seduce him?"

  He regretted a little, "If I had known that my grandfather insisted on fulfilling the marriage contract, I would not have robbed Xie Lin. Now that Qin Luan has entered the East Palace, it is impossible to return it to Xie Lin."

  He knocked himself on the head with remorse, "Hey, if Xie Lin got Qin Luan, as he likes Qin Luan, maybe he would really fight against King Rui and Princess Wang for her. It would be a good home for Qin Luan, and so would I... I didn't think of it at the time, I'm so stupid."

  He looked depressed, "Most of the people from small families have a petty air in them. Xie Lin's eyes are higher than the top, so he must look down on them."

  Midnight saw Zhou Gu sincerely regretting it, and used his worry-relieving function to give him advice, "In the brothel?"

   "What brothel?" Zhou Gu was confused.

  Zi Ye was serious, "Girls like Ms. Qin can be found in brothels. The old bustards in brothels have cultivated beauties since childhood, and they have everything they want."

  Zhou Gu was shocked, and sat up again, "Isn't this too wicked? If Lord Rui knew that I had induced Xie Lin to marry a woman in the brothel, he would definitely come to him. My grandfather would also break my leg, right? No, it might be worse than breaking my leg."

  He had a face of "Why are you so bad? Who did you learn from?" He looked at Ziye, "Ziye, you have learned badly. Did you learn from those three-legged cat guards around Xie Lin? If you don't learn well, you only learn bad ideas?"

  Zi Ye coughed, and said honestly: "It's not that my subordinates are bad, but you said you want to be good-looking, gentle, scheming, and low-born. Refer to Miss Qin's search. Isn't it only the girls in the brothel who meet the requirements?"

  Zhou Gu was stunned for a moment, "You have never been to a brothel, how do you know?"

   "I have never eaten pork, but I have always seen pigs run away. A few days ago, the King of Cheng County redeemed a woman from the brothel. Our wife also commented that she was indeed a foxy son who was born in the brothel. She only entered the Palace of the King of Cheng County for three days, and gave birth to a powerful person like the princess of the county."

  Zhou Gu's attention wandered, "Princess Chengjun isn't amazing, is she? If she is really powerful, then the brothel girls won't be able to enter the palace of Chengjun Prince at all."

   "Oh, what this subordinate said is powerful. It's not that Princess Chengjun can't control King Chengjun, but that she has a way of dealing with women in the backyard." Ziye said cryptically.

  Zhou Gu understood, scratched his head, "Isn't that okay?" He lay down again, irritated, "Although I don't like Xie Lin, I can't hurt him like this, at least she must be innocent."

  Zi Ye also felt that he had come up with a bad idea, "Then we can only find it slowly, anyway, the world is so big, if the young master wants not to be ridiculed by Xie Xiaowang, and wants him to marry a girl who is just like your fiancée, he will always meet him."

   Zhou Gu thought about it, so he simply put the matter aside, and said in a bad mood: "Pack up your things! Go to Jiangning in two days."

  Zi Ye nodded.

   Thank you dears, see you tomorrow~
