Chapter 609: Xiao Yan's Love for the House and His Dogs
When the young master of the He family was protecting Zhou Yuchang down the stairs, his eyes were always on the girl beside him. After going down the stairs, there were many people in the hall, and he also protected the person next to him to block possible collisions with others.
He was very tall, but he subconsciously shortened his stride when walking. Zhou Yuchang looked particularly petite but not hurried next to him. When the two of them left Xijue Tower and got into the carriage, Zhou Yuchang's skirt got caught on the side of the shaft. The young man from the He family didn't feel embarrassed at all. He naturally bent down to lift the hem of her skirt and carefully helped her into the carriage.
When Tang Ning and the others arrived at the door, they happened to see Zhou Yuchang in the carriage looking shyly at the smiling man opposite her.
The friendship between the two of them is so sweet to watch.
Wang Yuzhen sighed with emotion, "Young Master He treats Sister Zhou so well. In the past, I've seen engaged men, whether from ordinary or wealthy families, showing some respect to women was already a rare achievement. This is the first time I've seen someone as considerate and attentive as Young Master He."
Qian Qiyue nodded: "Yuchang has found a good husband."
"My father said that with the young master of the He family's literary talent and character, it is only a matter of time before he becomes an official and rises to prominence in the court. He values Yuchang so much, so it's no wonder that the wife of Marquis Wenxin agreed to let Yuchang marry into the He family so quickly."
After a pause, she turned her head and touched Tang Ning's shoulder:
"This He Jin is one in a million, but he's still not as good as your Xiao Yan."
Tang Ning glanced at her with a smile when she heard this: "Don't think I'm the same as Sister Zhou. If you tease her, she's too shy to do it. But if you tease me, be careful or I'll make my aunt punish you by making you copy the Diamond Sutra."
Qian Qiyue gave a cheeky laugh: "You are the one who can't bear to do it."
Fu Jinrou looked at the two people laughing and joking intimately, feeling particularly annoyed. She had come out to relax today, but who knew that everything would go wrong after meeting Song Tangning and the others. She said, "Sister Zhou is gone, so where are we going next?"
Tang Ning smiled and said, "What I just said is true. A'ru and I have agreed with my aunt to go to the Rong residence."
She turned her head and looked at Qian Qiyue:
"Weren't you envious of the chef's cooking skills sent by the Gu family? The lotus wine that my aunt buried earlier can be opened in the next few days. Do you want to go with me?"
Qian Qiyue was stunned. When did she become greedy for the Gu family's chef?
Seeing Tang Ning looking at her with a smile, Qian Qiyue, although a little confused, still followed her words and said, "Of course I have to go. I haven't seen my aunt for a long time. It's a good opportunity to go over and ask for some wine. I've been envious of the cooking skills of the Gu family chef for a long time."
When Fu Jinrou heard the word "Gu family", she thought of the head of the Gu family who was so rich that he could rival a country.
It is said that he owns Zuozhou, has a huge fortune, and is extraordinarily handsome, but he has not married or taken a concubine for many years. There are only rumors that he has a close relationship with the Lady of Rongguo.
Many people in the capital wanted to deal with the head of the Gu family, but after he came to the capital, he either stayed in the Tang Mansion in Jiyun Lane or in the mansion of Mrs. Rongguo. Except for occasionally visiting the Gu's Trading Company, he never saw outsiders at other times.
Fu Jinrou's eyes flashed. She had never seen the richest man in the world before.
"I……"
Fu Jinrou just opened her mouth to say that she and Tang Ning would go to visit Mrs. Rongguo together, but Tang Ning seemed to suddenly remember something and looked apologetic.
"Sister Fu, I should have invited you and Yuzhen to the Rong residence, but my aunt hasn't been very fond of meeting outsiders since some things happened in the past. I didn't discuss this with her in advance, so I won't invite you and Yuzhen over. I'll have someone send you lotus wine later to apologize."
What Fu Jinrou wanted to say was immediately blocked.
Wang Yuzhen said quickly, "What's the point of apologizing? It's already a nuisance to come here rashly. I'll send a visiting card next time I have the chance and then go to see Mrs. Rong."
Tang Ning looked up at Fu Jinrou: "Sister Fu, don't you mind?"
Fu Jinrou was pinching her palms, her smile still soft. "Of course not. I can't go even if you don't mention it. I've been out for so long today and I should go back. If I'm too late, my aunt and the others will be worried."
Tang Ning heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that. "That's good. I was worried you'd blame me." She smiled and said, "There are so many people here, and it looks messy. How about I have someone take you back?"
Wang Yuzhen said hurriedly, "No need. My carriage is following behind us, and I want to buy some rouge. Sister Tang, go do yours."
"Okay, let's get together again next time we have a chance."
Yue Jian went ahead to drive the carriage over. After Tang Ning led Xue Ru and Qian Qiyue into the carriage, Yue Jian drove away.
Although Fu Jinrou had a smile on her face, she felt as if she wanted to pinch her palms to bleed as she watched the carriage go away.
This Song Tangning is just as hateful as that Xiao Yan!
She said that Madam Rongguo didn't see outsiders. She was clearly flattering the powerful and looking down on her and Wang Yuzhen. Otherwise, why would she bring Qian Qiyue with her and leave her and Wang Yuzhen alone? Besides, after Madam Rongguo and Prince Cheng divorced, she still held a banquet and attended despite so many people's criticism.
There was no trace of timidity or shadow in that radiant look of his.
Song Tangning looks aloof, but in fact, it is because Qian Qiyue's father is the powerful Minister of Revenue, and the other two of them have inferior family backgrounds to hers!
"Sister Fu, Sister Fu?"
The voice beside her brought Fu Jinrou back to her senses: "What's wrong?"
Wang Yuzhen said, "I just saw you staring over there, lost in thought. I called you several times but you didn't hear me." She was curious: "Sister Tang and the others have gone far away, what are you looking at?"
Fu Jinrou retracted her gaze: "Nothing, I just think Tang Ning and A Yue have a really good relationship."
"Of course they want to be good."
Wang Yuzhen laughed when she heard this: "Sister Tang is a princess of noble status, Sister Qian is also from a high-ranking family, and Sister Zhou is the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family. The relationship between the three of them is very close."
"Back when Duke Dingguo's status was still unknown and he was still Governor Xiao, Jiyun Lane was a forbidden area for the rich and powerful. No one dared to disturb it easily. However, Sister Qian and Sister Zhou were exceptions. Not only could they come and go freely in the Tang Mansion, but Duke Dingguo was also very kind to them."
Fu Jinrou paused for a moment. "I've heard that Duke Dingguo is a cold and aloof person. Does he have a warm side?"
"Of course. You haven't seen how considerate he is to Sister Tang. He's even more considerate than Young Master He is to Sister Zhou. And I've seen him talk to Sister Qian and Sister Zhou. While not as gentle as a spring breeze, he's certainly different from others. Maybe it's because of Sister Tang that he loves her and her family too?"
After Wang Yuzhen finished speaking, she waved to the maid in the distance:
"Sister Fu, the rouge shop in Fo'anfang has a lot of new rouge and powder. My carriage is coming. Do you want to go with me to take a look?"
Fu Jinrou collected her thoughts and said, "Okay."
