Drunk House

  Chapter 63 Xie Yuan

  After Su Rong returned to the yard, Yue Wan came out of the house sleepily.

  While rubbing her eyes, she said, "Miss, why did you take so long for a walk with Young Master Zhou today? I'm tired of waiting."

  Su Rong glanced at her and patted her on the head, "Sleep when you are sleepy, what are you waiting for me? When did I make you wait?"

  Yue Wan nodded and sighed, "You never let me wait, but now Da Furen said that I also have to learn the rules? In the future, I will marry you into the Duke Protector's Mansion. If my rules are too bad, I won't be able to stand."

  Over the years, Miss You has such an unruly master, and her maidservant has no rules.

  Su Rong reached out and pinched her face, "Other rules can be learned, but I don't have to learn this one when I go to sleep. I have the final say."

  Yue Wan nodded sleepily, and asked curiously: "Miss, what did you do with Young Master Zhou today? It's almost one o'clock before you come back."

   "I took him to the night market." Su Rong felt that it was better not to scare her, and waved her hand, "Go to sleep!"

  Yuewan let out an "oh", turned around and took two steps, then suddenly turned around and said sadly: "Miss, you used to bring me food when you left the house."

  Su Rong spread her hands, "It's late at night, aren't you afraid of growing fat?"

   "That's right." Yue Wan muttered and went back to her room.

  Su Rong was funny, entered the room, like every time he came back from the outside, took off his coat, threw himself on the bed, and fell asleep directly.

  She was heartless and fell asleep very quickly. After Zhou Gu returned to the guest hospital, he couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

  He was angry when he thought that Su Rong would take him to the Qingguan Building, but he was a little worried that Su Xing would take care of her, but Ziye, who was a high-skilled martial artist, was sent away by him.

  He tossed and turned in bed, and didn't fall asleep until it was almost dawn.

   On the second day, Su Xingze invited the teaching nanny to arrive, but Su Rong didn't resist, and followed the nanny to learn the rules. These years, she has not behaved very well, and she herself knows that it is one thing whether she can obey the rules in the future, but it is another matter whether she understands the rules. So, I learned it seriously, at the very least, as Da Furen said, when it's time to put on a show, you have to put on a show, so as not to be laughed at when you go to the capital in the future.

   Zhou Gu slept until almost noon. When he woke up, he learned that Su Xing was waiting for him outside. He felt a little embarrassed and walked out, "Brother Su, sorry for keeping you waiting."

   "No problem." Su Xing shook his head, knowing that he probably didn't sleep well last night, and didn't ask him why, he just said: "Didn't you always want to see Mr. Xie? Mr. Xie came back last night, and I will take you to see him today."

  Zhou Gu's eyes lit up, "Good!"

  He was just about to step up and drag Su Xingze out, but he stopped immediately, scratched his head, and said embarrassedly: "Well, Brother Su, I have to clean up. Please wait a moment."

   "No rush." ​​Su Xing nodded.

  Zhou Gu immediately went back to the room, washed and changed clothes, and after tidying up, he walked out again, already refreshed.

  Xie Yuan is about the same age as Su Xu, but it is probably because he has not been hollowed out by wine and sex, he is very clean, has been alone for many years, and lives a regular life, so he looks younger than Su Xu, and he has not gained weight in middle age, handsome and elegant.

   Zhou Gu was taken aback when he saw Xie Yuan for the first time. The legendary Xie Yuan looked so young. One must know that Qin Taifu of the East Palace respected Xie Yuan very much, and Qin Taifu had a big beard. He thought that Xie Yuan was similar.

  He followed the rules and said, "Junior Zhou Gu, pay my respects to Mr. Xie."

   Xie Yuan looked at Zhou Gu, and was also surprised that the rumored Young Master Zhou of the Huguo Gongfu was so polite. He smiled and waved his hands, "Young Master Zhou is not polite, you don't need to be polite."

  Zhou Gu straightened up, "This junior has admired Mr.'s name for a long time. It is a great honor to meet you today."

  Xie Yuan smiled, "Is the old man still in good health? I haven't seen the old man for more than ten years."

   "Grandfather is in good health, and he once mentioned Mr. Yan to the juniors. It is a pity that Mr. Yan did not stay in the court." Zhou Gu said.

  Xie Yuan shook his head with a smile, "Those who serve the people of the country do not stick to the court. I stayed in Jiangning. Although I was far away from the court, I never left the people's livelihood. I don't regret it."

  Zhou Gu nodded, "Jiangning County is under the governance of Uncle Su and you. The people are happy and prosperous. It is really a good place. The doors are not closed at night, the roads are not picked up, there are no riots, no refugees, no beggars, and the people are rich in food and clothing. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have imagined that there is such a happy place in the world. The gentleman said so."

   "No beggar, I don't dare to take the credit." Xie Yuan signaled Zhou Gu to sit, "It's Old Su who manages well."

  Zhou Gu admired it very much, "I also discussed it with Uncle Su, but Uncle Su said that it was Mr. Xie's credit. You two are really humble."

  Xie Yuan laughed loudly, "This old Su!"

  He turned to Su Xing and asked, "What is Xiao Qi doing recently?"

  Su Xing glanced at Zhou Gu, "Learn to be a master, learn the rules."

   Xie Yuan nodded, and smiled again, "It's rare for her to settle down and study steadily. Over the years, she has learned a lot of other miscellaneous things, except for the word "rules", and she always doesn't want to learn or obey."

  Su Xing was noncommittal. In the past, she didn't want to learn, because she didn't think that the Huguogongfu would not regret her marriage, but now he hired her a teaching nun, and she didn't resist learning in a proper manner, which shows that she cares a little about Zhou Gu and marrying into the Huguogongfu.

  Xie Yuan looked at Zhou Gu again, "For many years, I haven't seen anyone from the Duke Huguo's mansion. I thought that the marriage contract between you and Xiaoqi was something to be counted."

  Zhou Gu's face was unnatural, "Although this junior has always known about this marriage contract, but because of his young age, he never thought about it. Grandpa always kept his promises, so he did it. It's just that the time didn't come. He said that he was afraid that the Huguogong's house would attract wind, so he moved too early and disturbed the cleanliness of Jiangning County."

  Xie Yuan nodded with a smile, "The old man thought very well, but we misunderstood."

  He laughed again: "Xiao Qi has been out of temper since she was a child, and she was very different from ordinary daughters when she was born. She doesn't like to be confined to the boudoir to learn to read, embroider and paint, but only loves the people's livelihood outside the high wall. Lao Su and his wife can't restrain her. Only I can say a few words to her. As her teacher, I can't bear to restrain her most of the time. It's getting worse and she won't be able to come back. So, I think the Duke Huguo's mansion has a high family, if this marriage contract is voided, it may not be a bad thing for her, after all, there are many rules in the high mansion."

  Zhou Gu immediately said: "Compared to the other mansions in central Beijing, the Duke Huguo's mansion is not too strict in rules." He paused, and then added shamefully, "When I am in the mansion, I am often taught by my grandfather that I have no rules."

  Xie Yuan smiled, "Now I know, the old man made a promise, since he sent you here, he wants to keep the promise."

   Zhou Gu breathed a sigh of relief.

   See you tomorrow~
