Drunk House

  Chapter 82 Heart (Second update)

  Prefect Su liked Xie Lin very much, and felt that he and Zhou Gu were good boys. At least his unmarried daughters of Yunying were sitting there, and he didn't stare at any of them.

  Although Xie Lin doesn't drink much, his eyes are always clear, which is very rare.

   I don’t know why he and Zhou Gu fought so violently just to grab a woman.

   Prefect Su maintained his love for young talents, and said to Xie Lin after the meal, "Why don't you live in the mansion? Don't go back to that inn. Although our mansion is not big, if you squeeze in, there is still room for you."

  The eldest lady also likes Xie Lin very much, "That's right, let's stay here! We still have a place for you to live in."

  Xie Linwen said that he didn't want to leave, but is it appropriate to just stay like this? He looked at Zhou Gu, "I'll stay?"

   Zhou Gu felt that after Xie Lin came, he was about to fall out of favor in front of the prefect Su and the eldest lady, "You can live here if you like."

   Xie Lin made a decisive decision, "Then thank you, uncle and aunt, I will stay here unceremoniously." After finishing speaking, he quickly said: "Don't deliberately arrange a yard for me, I just live in the same yard as Zhou Gu."

  The eldest lady laughed, "It doesn't have to be so crowded."

  Zhou Gu had no objection, "Okay, Auntie doesn't need to arrange it deliberately, just let him live in the same yard as me."

  The eldest lady gave up after hearing the words, and nodded with a smile, "That's fine."

  So, after dinner, Su Xing sent Xie Lin to the guest house where Zhou Gu lived. Xie Lin took two steps, but Zhou Gu didn't follow him, so he couldn't help asking Su Xingze, "Brother Su, why isn't Brother Zhou with us?"

   "He and my sister have something to say." Su Xing said: "I'll send Brother Xie to rest first."

  Xie Lin nodded, wondering if Zhou Gu is so clingy? Do you still have to talk to your fiancee after dinner at night? What an eye-opener.

  Zhou Gu was used to taking a walk after dinner with Su Rong, so he didn't feel anything.

   Su Rong found the opportunity to ask Zhou Gu, "You and Xie Lin have a good relationship?"

  Zhou Gu shook his head, "Who has a good relationship with him?"

  Su Rong was stunned, "You seem to have a good relationship, if this is not a good relationship, then what is a good relationship?"

  Zhou Gu opened his mouth. He thought that Xiao Jiujiu, who dug a hole for Xie Lin, naturally couldn't tell Su Rong, otherwise he would look bad. He touched his nose and found a reason, "Well, we didn't have a good relationship before. We didn't like each other, and we didn't play with each other. Now, isn't it because I robbed him that day and snatched Qin Luan, who he likes? It's also a bad thing for him, and I feel a little sorry for him."

   Su Rong suddenly realized, "So that's the case, no wonder."

  Su Rong really believed it. After all, this reason was impeccable. Zhou Gu had already told her that he was entrusted by someone to rob someone, and he regretted it afterwards, and Xie Lin, if he couldn't rob him, he could only admit that he was unlucky.

   Zhou Gu, since he regrets it and feels that he did something wrong, it is not surprising that he should compensate the victim.

  Seeing that she believed it, Zhou Gu heaved a sigh of relief, and quickly changed the subject, "Well, I took Xie Lin to Zuihualou today. You have a lot of face, and they even gave me face. When I left, I wanted to leave money, but Yu Niang was not here. Someone sent me a message, saying that I just go."

  Su Rong blinked, smiled and nodded, deliberately misinterpreting his meaning, "Congratulations, brother Zhou finally learned to go there by himself to have fun."

   Zhou Gu blushed and stared at her, "What are you talking about?"

  He coughed and turned his face away unnaturally, "I just thought it wouldn't be a mess there, so I took Xie Lin there to learn more about it. After all, he hasn't been there before. By the way, let me set him up to see why he came to Jiangning. I didn't expect that he really came to Jiangning because he was bored."

  He naturally didn't mention that Xie Lin came after Duanhua to watch the fun, and he didn't even want to mention Duanhua's name.

  Su Rong nodded, "No one came to Jiangning before, but this year there are indeed many distinguished guests, one after another."

  Zhou Gu Wenyan turned around, "Aside from Ning Chi and Xie Lin, who else is there?"

  Su Rong wanted to say that there is still a prince, but when the words came to his lips, he smiled and said: "There is also you, is that not enough? Anyway, I don't know, there should be some people. I always feel that this year is more lively than previous years, and there are more people coming and going every day."

  Zhou Gudao: "This is a good thing. More people should know about your father's political achievements, and the place should be moved. After getting in touch with my uncle these days, I feel that the court needs someone like uncle. He can do a lot. It's a pity that he has been nesting in Jiangning."

  Su Rong smiled, "Yes."

  Anyway, she has grown up, and her father and Uncle Xie have protected her for so many years, which is enough.

  The two walked for a while, and then sat in the gazebo of the waterside pavilion. Zhou Gu told Su Rong what he had been thinking about all along, "The clothes you gave me today, I will ask Zhou Xi to calculate the price and return them to you."

  Su Rong paused when he reached out to take the teacup, "What do you mean?"

  Zhou Gu looked at her, "It's too much, too expensive, I can't take it."

  Su Rong understood, and said seriously: "I said it was given to you, so it was given to you. Since I gave it to you, there is absolutely no reason for you to pay me back. If you ask you to pay me back, wouldn't I be selling you something? After all, Jinxiufang has my shares."

   "I have never taken anything from others, let alone such a valuable one." Zhou Gu said.

  Su Rongxiao, "Is that so, can the fiancée be someone else?"

  Zhou Gu choked, wanting to say that his fiancée is indeed not someone else, but our marriage contract is still just a paper marriage contract. But when the words came to his lips, he still didn't say them.

  Su Rong poured two cups of tea, pushed one to Zhou Gu, and said slowly: "Brother Zhou, don't worry, it's really nothing, I want to give it, you just take it."

   Zhou Gu opened his mouth, wanting to say that you gave me such a valuable thing, what should I give you in return, as Xie Lin said, his private money is far worse than the clothes she gave.

  Seeing his expression, Su Rong knew what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Gold and silver have a price, clothes also have a price, and a heart is priceless, isn't it?"

  Zhou Gu's heart skipped a beat suddenly, the tips of his ears turned red, and he didn't know whether he should say "yes" or not.

   "Drink tea!" Su Rong picked up the teacup by herself.

  Zhou Gu also picked up the teacup, feeling that today's tea seemed to be hotter than usual, he reached his mouth, put it down again, and suddenly said: "Then you have a lot of private money?"

   "Well, quite a few."

  Zhou Gu looked at her, wondering, "Since you obviously have a lot of private money, why are you still stealing fifty taels of silver from your elder brother? How can you bear it?"

  Su Rong: "..."

  She coughed, "He's my big brother!"

  Zhou Gu was puzzled, "What's wrong with the elder brother?"

  Su Rong confidently said, "What does the elder brother do? He was born to be exploited by his younger sister. Otherwise, if his younger sister does not exploit her, he will be exploited by other women in the future."

  Zhou Gu: "..."

  This, what you said is indeed very reasonable. As his eldest brother, Su Xingze was also very unlucky.

  He was speechless for a moment, looked around, no one was near this water pavilion, he asked: "Then did you give Brother Su any good things?"

   "Stir-fried chestnuts in sugar, roast goose, roast duck, and grilled fish, I will give them all." Su Rong counted a lot of food on her fingers.

  Zhou Gu: "..."

  He emphasized, "I said precious."

   "Isn't the fish I caught and grilled with my own hands precious?" Su Rong looked at him, "The other ones were also brought back to the house with my own hands, aren't they precious?"

  Zhou Gu couldn't say anything worthless, so he was speechless for a while.

  Su Rong Dale, "I understand what you mean, no."

  Zhou Gu didn't know whether he should be happy for himself or feel aggrieved for Su Xing, but his mood at this time was extremely complicated.

   The two drank tea for a while, and then went back to their respective yards.

   Zhou Gu returned to the guest house, Xie Lin was not asleep, he was sitting in the painting hall drinking tea and waiting for him, when he saw Zhou Gu came back, he asked him: "Why did you come back so late?"

   Zhou Gu glanced at him, sat down, poured a cup of tea, took a sip and said, "I'm taking a walk with my fiancee."

  Xie Lin: "..."

  It's late at night, and you took a walk for an hour? What happened to the Su family? They haven't got married yet, so why don't they pay attention to the defense of men and women? So relieved to let the two of them stay together at night? He thought that if Su Xingze had something to say, it would only take a cup of tea, but who knew it would take an hour to wait.

  He was shocked, "Does the Su family not care?"

  Zhou Gu stopped drinking tea, "What do you care? We are just walking along the waterside pavilion in the mansion. There are people everywhere in the mansion. Even at night, there are lights everywhere, so there is no dark place. What's wrong with staying together?"

  They don't do anything inappropriate for children, Su Rong asked him to hug him that day, but he didn't dare to hug him.

   See you tomorrow~
