Drunk House

 Chapter 801 Not Cute (1st update)

The King of Nanchu sniffed and stood up, asking Xie Yuan, "What about you? Are you committed to her for the rest of your life?"

Xie Yuan was speechless and said expressionlessly: "No."

 “Really?”

Xie Yuan was not angry, "I don't like it in this life anymore, what else do I want from the next life?"

The King of Nanchu suddenly smiled, "Then will she be waiting for Gu in her next life?"

 “Maybe!” Xie Yuan didn’t want to talk to him anymore.

The King of Nanchu went to Su Rong and asked for the account book, "Show me what good things she has left for you."

 Su Rong handed him the account book.

The King of Nanchu turned over the lamp for a long time and whispered: "What Bigu gave you is as good as the inferior."

"My mother gave me a secret guard. One against a hundred." Su Rong emphasized.

The king of Nanchu lost his face, "Because of Gu, almost half of your secret guards were lost."

Su Rong had never seen such a fragile Wang. Fortunately, this was her biological father, otherwise she would have gone far away. She reminded him, "Aren't you going to make longevity noodles for me with your own hands? Can I still eat them?" Up?"

"Ah? How did you know?" King Nan Chu immediately looked at Su Rong, then, thinking of something, he looked at Zhou Gu again, dissatisfied with him, "How did you tell her?"

Zhou Gu paused for a moment and then took Su Rong for the blame. "Forgive me, father-in-law. It was she who forced me to ask. I can't disobey the queen's order."

Su Rong stared, when did she force him to question him?

 The King of Southern Chu is speechless.

Xie Yuan glanced at Su Rong and said with a straight face, "You bullied Zhou Gu again."

Su Rong: “…”

She really felt that she was wronged. She glared at Zhou Gu again. Zhou Gu looked at the sky and the earth but not at her. Su Rong was happy, "Okay, Uncle Xie, with you watching, do I still dare to bully him?"

She turned to urge King Nan Chu, "Father, I happen to be hungry. Let's go. How are your cooking skills? Cook four bowls of noodles. Uncle Xie will eat with us."

The King of Nanchu nodded happily, "Okay, let's go."

So the four of them went to the imperial dining room together.

The chef in the imperial dining room has been standing ready, waiting for the king to come up. Now that he saw not only the king coming, but also the queen, the queen's husband, and Mr. Xie, he immediately became 800 times more energetic.

The King of Nanchu rolled up his sleeves and took action himself, while the imperial chef quickly stood aside.

Su Rong had no idea of ​​helping first. Zhou Gu wanted to go to work and found that he had no idea where to start. Xie Yuan found a low stool and sat down, and asked Su Rong: "I heard that you said in front of the clan today that you want the clan's children to do this this year." End too?"

"Not only the clan members, but also the girl's family." Su Rong nodded, "I never knew that the clan of Nanchu could not participate in the imperial examination. Thinking that raising so many people in vain would cost the national treasury a lot, this is not okay. I don’t want to raise idle people.”

 Xie Yuan nodded, "Okay."

After hearing this, the King of Nanchu said while kneading the noodles: "Do you want to make an exception to our ancestors' rules?"

"Isn't it possible?" Su Rong looked at King Nan Chu, "Father, if you want to support idle people, use your private treasury. I don't want to support him anyway."

The King of Nanchu coughed slightly, "Where do I have any private treasury? Aren't they all given to you? If you want to make an exception, just make an exception. Anyway, the old system of Nanchu has been there for many generations, and it is time to change."

Su Rong was satisfied, and then asked Zhou Gu, "Today you test Chu Duan, how does he do?"

"Excellent. He is a talented scholar. He has some experience in the clan clan studies and his family's poor family background." Zhou Gu said: "If he takes part in the scientific examination, he will definitely be on the list."

Su Rong nodded, "Then let him join the household department! Give him a sixth-grade official first. Even with Cui Xingzhi and Ning Ze, isn't your household department still short of people?"

Zhou Guxiao looked at him and whispered: "Do you feel sorry for me so much? Are people going to the household department?"

Su Rong said in a serious tone, "The Ministry of Revenue holds the money bag. If you have money, you can make a fool of yourself. But if you don't have money, it's difficult to move forward. I also hope that the Ministry of Finance will fill the money bag so that I can use it to renovate weapons and raise soldiers and horses. It is used in water conservancy projects of the Ministry of Industry, building dams, strengthening city wall protection, etc.”

 She sighed, “It all costs money!”

Zhou Gu was speechless, "Okay, don't worry!"

 He also sighed, there was still a lot to do.

With the cooperation of the imperial chef, the King of Nanchu prepared four bowls of noodles. As soon as they were taken out of the pot, the noodles were fragrant and fragrant. Su Rong sniffed and said in surprise, "Dad, your craftsmanship is quite good. It smells very good."

The King of Nanchu said proudly: "Really? I have talent alone."

The imperial chef was sweating in his heart. The king had been practicing for more than a month and finally remembered the steps correctly. He didn't even want to accept this kind of talent as a disciple.

The four of them didn’t move anywhere, they just sat at the kitchen table and ate noodles together.

 Having drunk a lot of wine during the dinner, now a bowl of noodles makes my stomach feel better.

The King of Nanchu saw that Su Rong was eating well and said to her: "On your birthday next year, I will make noodles for you."

 “Okay.” Su Rong nodded.

The King of Nan Chu also said to Zhou Gu: "Next year when you celebrate your birthday, Gu Ye will make noodles for you with your own hands."

 “Thank you, father-in-law.” Zhou Gu also nodded.

After King Nan Chu finished speaking, he looked at Xie Yuan again and paused, "Brother Xie celebrates his birthday..."

"You don't have to do it." Xie Yuan stopped him.

 The king of Nanchu choked.

Su Rong smiled and said, "I cook with my own hands and make noodles for Uncle Xie."

　　Xie Yuan smiled, "Okay, I'm waiting to eat the noodles you made by yourself."

 The King of Nanchu looked at Su Rong.

Zhou Gu immediately said: "Father-in-law, on your birthday, I will make noodles for you with my own hands."

The King of Nanchu was happy, "Okay, okay, one son-in-law and one son."

After eating the noodles, King Nan Chu ran back to look at Zhen Min’s things.

Xie Yuan left the palace and returned to Xie Mansion.

Su Rong held Zhou Gu's arm, smiled at him and asked, "Zhou Gu, what birthday gift did you give me?"

 Zhou Gu glanced at her, "Can you still remember that I haven't given you a birthday gift? It's rare."

"Of course, how could I not remember it." Su Rong said very seriously, "I will be happy with whatever you give me. As long as it is from you."

Zhou Gu snorted lightly, obviously thinking of Cui Yanjin again.

Su Rong asked him, "Are you going to give me the entire arsenal?"

Zhou Gu immediately said: "That was given to me by my father-in-law. You don't have to worry about it. No matter how many birthdays you celebrate, I will never give you this."

Su Rong: “…”

It's really not cute.

She let go of her hand holding his arm dejectedly and said angrily to him, "Zhou Gu, you don't love me."

 Zhou Gu: “…”

He almost laughed angrily. If he didn't give her the arsenal given to him by his father-in-law, he just didn't love her. When did she become so childish?

 He ignored Su Rong and continued walking forward.

Su Rong was shocked. He actually left her alone. She quickly chased after him, hugged him again, and stamped her feet, "Look around."

 Zhou Gu could only stop.

Su Rong hummed, "Today is my birthday."

"Yes, it's your birthday. You are the birthday girl and you are the oldest." Zhou Gu had no choice but to smile and put her on his back, coaxing her, "Let's go, I will take you to get the birthday gift."
