Drunk House

  Chapter 86 and Ji (two more)

  People who came to watch the ceremony gathered inside and outside the front hall today. In addition to the Su family and the eldest lady's natal family, they are the wives from various prefectures in Jiangning, as well as the famous Confucian gentleman in Jiangzhou.

  Su Rong stepped into the front yard, and was dazzled by the crowd of people. She paused and turned to look at Wang Ma.

  Wang Ma whispered cheerfully: "Master and Madam, as well as the son and the aunts and ladies in the mansion have all posted posts to the people they have made friends with. There are more people coming, but the Master and Madam said that the crowd is very lively." Seeing Su Rong's face was stiff, Wang Ma quickly added, "You are the youngest lady in our mansion. This is the last wedding ceremony left in our mansion. Everyone said that we can make it more lively. Madam said, there is nothing you need to do today, hairpin ceremony After that, you just follow her to meet people, and then go back and rest."

  Su Rong breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this is okay, she almost couldn't hold back and turned back.

  All the juniors gathered outside the hall. When they saw Su Rong coming, they all looked together, and many of them showed amazed expressions.

  Su Rong actually saw Chen Zhou from a group of people. She really wanted to give Chen Zhou a look, but with so many people looking at her, she could only turn her eyes away and enter the front hall as if nothing had happened.

  In the hall, all the people gathered were close relatives, respected people, and people of high status. For example, Xie Lin who happened to come to Jiangning County also had a place.

  Su Rong saw Zhou Gu at a glance. He was wearing a new dress that Jinxiu Pavilion rushed to make yesterday. He was dressed in a lake blue brocade with flowers and flowers.

  Su Rong could hardly move his eyes from being dazzled, thinking about it, he knew that colored clothes would look great as long as he put them on.

  She tried to look away, and looked around again, and saw Jiangzhou Governor Jiang Sheng and Mrs. Jiang. Now the imperial edict to punish Jiang Sheng has not yet arrived in Jiangzhou, and Jiang Sheng still doesn't know that he is about to suffer a catastrophe, so he is sitting here firmly.

  Su Rong thought about it, he must have brought generous gifts when he came to watch the ceremony. Zhou Gu confiscated his gifts last time, but now with her gift of honor, he can take all those generous gifts as a matter of course, and no one can make a mistake.

  Everyone was talking, when Su Rong came and saw her, the room fell silent.

  In the area of ​​Jiangning, everyone knows that Miss Su Qi of Su Taishou's Mansion is good-looking, but since she was a child, Su Rong has never paid attention to dressing, and loves to cause trouble and fight with others. She often hurts here or there. Therefore, even though she has a good-looking face, she still doesn't make people feel that she is unmatched in beauty. But today, she walked into the hall slowly, with a slender waist, graceful and graceful, with a clear and beautiful complexion, and her whole body shines like the sun and the moon.

   Xie Lin was suffocating for breathing, and stretched out his hand to push Zhou Gu slightly.

  Zhou Gu narrowed his eyes slightly, and turned to look at Xie Lin.

   Xie Lin approached him and whispered in his ear, "This is Miss Su Qi? Your fiancee? That's right?"

  Zhou Gubai took a look at Xie Lin, then turned back, his eyes fell on Su Rong, and he frowned slightly, thinking that she was too gorgeous, and after the hairpin ceremony was completed, let her change this outfit, and wash off the makeup on her face, the little girl should be clean and fresh, what kind of makeup should she wear?

   "What? Look at your expression, you don't know him anymore?" Xie Lin lowered his voice again.

  Zhou Gu finally spoke, and whispered back to him, "Shut up."

   Xie Lin shut his mouth, thinking that Zhou Gu is really blessed, if he had such a fiancée, he would... no, he still likes Qin Luan.

  The eldest lady was also stunned for a while before she came back to her senses, approached Su Rong with a smile, and introduced to everyone. The prefect Su was on the sidelines with a look of relief that my family had a girl who had grown up. Xie Yuan looked through Su Rong and seemed to see Yan Ruzhen. There was also a girl back then. He also lived up to her trust.

  The eldest lady invited a highly respected old lady Shiquan to give Su Rong a hairpin gift. Su Rong quietly let her fiddle with her and listened to the congratulatory speech.

  When the hairpin ceremony was about to be completed, Zhou Gu got up suddenly, took a mahogany hairpin in his hand, walked towards Su Rong, and said to the eldest lady, "Auntie, can this junior give this to Xiao Qi?"

  The eldest lady looked at the mahogany hairpin in Zhou Gu's hand. It wasn't gold, silver, or jade, nor pearls, agate, or emerald, but a rough wooden hairpin that didn't look very well carved. She was stunned for a moment, and then thought that it was probably carved by Zhou Gu himself. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to give it to Su Rong on such a day. It's really worth more than all the hairpins.

  Zhou Gu held the peach-wood hairpin, bent close to Su Rong, looked at her bun for a long time, and then slowly inserted the peach-wood hairpin into her hair, with a soft voice, "I wish Miss Su Qi a smooth life, all wishes come true, all wishes come true, long-lasting blessings, and peace every year."

  Su Rong tilted her head and looked at Zhou Gu, she was extremely surprised, but joyful.

  She pursed her lips and said softly, "Okay! I wish myself, as you wish."

   and Yan Licheng, the guests did not know who said hello, and the inside and outside of the hall suddenly became lively, and the atmosphere was festive.

  Su Rong was dragged by the lady to socialize for a while. After everyone was arranged and waiting for the banquet, the lady let Su Rong go.

  Su Rong immediately left the hall and turned back to his yard.

  She hadn't gone far when Zhou Gu caught up. Su Rong looked back and saw that it was Zhou Gu. Before she could speak, Zhou Gu said, "I'll take you back."

  Su Rong nodded, reached out to touch the hairpin, and asked Zhou Gu with a smile: "This hairpin..."

   Zhou Gu looked unnatural for a moment, but he still replied, "Peach wood wards off evil spirits."

  Su Rong laughed, "I'm not asking you this, what I want to say is that you carved this hairpin yourself?"

  Zhou Gu nodded, "It's the first time to carve this kind of thing. It's a raw hand. If you don't do it well, you just settle for it."

  Su Rong blinked, "You mean, will you carve better ones for me in the future?"

  Zhou Gu paused, "Well, there will be a better one at that time, and I will exchange it with you."

  Su Rong wanted to say, "Even if you get a better engraved one, I won't exchange this with you." But she was afraid that if she said it, she would not see a better one in the future, so she nodded, "Okay, then I will wait for you to exchange it with a better one."

   Zhou Gu nodded.

  Su Rong looked back at the bustling front yard behind him, "You don't need to see it off, the banquet is going to start soon, you are a guest, you should stay in the front yard to eat."

  Zhou Gu shook his head, "Send you back."

   "Even if you send me back, my father will send someone to invite you later." Su Rong thought that at least half of the people came here today because of Zhou Gu and Xie Lin, especially many officials in Jiangzhou. This is a rare opportunity to curry favor with Duke Huguo and Rui'an.

   "It's a moment to delay." Zhou Gu had already been surrounded by people several times before the hairpin ceremony, and now that Su Rong was able to escape, he felt that it would be good to hide for a while. Although he didn't dislike dealing with people, he was also impatient with dealing with so many people.

  Su Rongxiao said, "Then Xie Xiaowang will have to work hard."

   "He deserves it!"

   Zhou Gu sent Su Rong back to Dongkua Courtyard, the moment he sat in the main room, away from the noise, Zhou Gu felt extremely comfortable.

  Seeing Su Rong making tea for him, he reached out to stop her, "I'll do it myself, you go and change your clothes, and wash off the makeup on your face."

  Su Rong was taken aback, "Why?"

  This clothes and this makeup, but she was tossed out by someone for an hour and a half in the morning.

  Zhou Gu naturally wouldn't say, "You're too gorgeous, I don't like how many people are staring at your face." Instead, he asked her in a normal tone, "I'm tired from seeing you, your clothes are mopping the floor, layer upon layer, and the makeup on your face can't be easily touched, so it's comfortable to stay here?"

  Su Rong waved his hand immediately, pushing all the teapots and cups of tea to him, "It's uncomfortable, I'm going to change it now."

  After she finished speaking, she turned around decisively and entered the back room.

  Zhou Gu was satisfied, and slowly made tea by himself.

  Yuewan chased back to Dongkua courtyard, entered the main room, saw Zhou Gu, "Master Zhou, where is my lady?"

   "I went inside to change my laundry."

  Yuewan was startled, rushed into the back room, and exclaimed to Su Rong who was washing her face, "Oh, miss, why did you wash it off so quickly? How beautiful, I haven't seen enough."

  Su Rong kept washing his face, took a basin of clean water, closed his eyes and told Yuewan, "Go and change a basin of water."

  Yuewan pouted her mouth, her face full of displeasure, "Why did you wash it off? This is the makeup that Zhao Momo spent a long time on to make up for you. You only stayed on your face for half an hour. It's too bad."

   "Go!" Su Rong urged her.

  Yue Wan was angry, "I don't want to go."

  Su Rong pinched her face with her wet hands, "Anyway, it's been washed, who told you not to come back early."

  Yue Wan hurriedly avoided Su Rong's wet hands, snorted, picked up the basin, turned around and went out, seeing Zhou Gu, couldn't help complaining, "Young Master Zhou, you didn't stop Miss, what a beautiful makeup, just washed it off like this."

  Zhou Gu looked calm, not guilty at all, "It's beautiful."

   Never mentioning that he asked him to wash it off.

   See you tomorrow~
