The Road to Doting Wife

Chapter 111 King Rui's side concubine target (1)
At the end of October, it was already very cold, even with a warm hand stove in his hand, Lin Zhu couldn't help leaning closer to his mother.

Mrs. Liu looked down at her daughter, and reminded her again: "You can do whatever you want in private. When you arrive at your brother-in-law's house in a while, you must stand upright and sit upright. Don't embarrass your elder sister."

"I know, I know, mother, you are just worrying about it, I will let you take care of it when I go out?" Lin Zhu muttered dissatisfiedly, "Besides, I just hang around in the yard of the eldest sister, and the most I can see is my aunt and fourth girl. Get along with each other." Ning had met in Dengzhou as early as, the little girl Zhao Yi.

Mrs. Liu solemnly reminded her: "Today, someone from the Guo family is also coming, and that is your brother-in-law's aunt, please behave yourself and don't cause trouble."

"En", Lin Zhu absent-mindedly replied.Aunt Guo's face is cold and warm-hearted, Guo Baozhu is bright and generous, and the eldest sister has told her that as long as the other party does not dislike her low status, Lin Zhu is confident that she can get along well.However, people also pay attention to fate when dealing with people. Guo Baozhu likes the elder sister, but he may not like her...

The distance between the two houses was not too far, and the carriage soon stopped at the gate of Zhao's house. Lin Zhu got out of the carriage before his mother, and after standing still, he gathered his cloak and turned back to wait for his mother. He didn't want to turn around and saw a carriage turning into the alley.Next to the carriage are two tall horses running side by side. The man sitting on the horse slightly in front is about forty years old, with thick and black eyebrows, majestic. They are father and son, but their eyebrows are much more delicate, less rough and more handsome.

Could it be from the Guo family?
Lin Zhu looked away silently, saw his mother coming down, and stood beside her without making a fuss.

At this time, Zhao Chen got the communication and came out quickly, seeing that the Guo family happened to be here too, he had to introduce each other for the two families.

Guo Yi is a rough man, and he is not good at dealing with scholars. He grinned and said a few words to Lin Xian, but he was very interested in the boy who was staring at him curiously. He touched Lin Chongjiu's head and said: " You are Chengyuan’s brother-in-law, right? You have sharp eyes, do you want to study like your father, or learn from your brother-in-law to practice Wudang general?” The guard is just a temporary arrangement for the nephew to win the emperor’s trust. With the Qin family in the northwest, the nephew will sooner or later They have to lead soldiers to fight.

"I want to be a general!" Lin Chongjiu looked at him with a crisp voice.

Guo Yi laughed, and was about to speak when he caught a glimpse of his wife frowning, quickly shut his mouth, turned his head and pretended to look at the Zhao residence.

Guo Zijing and Lin Xian and his wife avoided the ceremony after seeing the ceremony. Mrs. Guo also said little, only Guo Baozhu was lively. After calling her uncle and aunt sweetly, she hugged Lin Zhu's arm with a smile, and said as she walked in, "Azhu I've heard my sister-in-law talk about you a long time ago, and I've been looking forward to playing with you, I'm two years older than you, but you can call me Baozhu, you don't need to call me sister."

"Baby Pearl." Lin Zhu followed the good advice.

Guo Baozhu was very happy, and chattered, and asked Lin Zhu if he had visited the capital since he came to the capital. Hearing that Lin Zhu said that he had never been there, he immediately made an appointment to go out together on another day.Lin Zhuben likes to be lively, so he forgot his mother's advice after hearing this, and happily complied.

Mrs. Liu listened behind, and said to Madam Guo with some embarrassment: "A Zhu is playful, Madam laughed."

Mrs. Guo comforted her sincerely: "It's Baozhu who is stubborn, and I'm worried that she will lead Azhu to pieces."

The two didn't hide their words. Guo Baozhu heard it in front of her, and she turned her head in dissatisfaction and said: "Mother, you and your aunt are really wronged. Ah Zhu is new here, so what's wrong with me getting her familiar with the capital? Sister-in-law and my brother-in-law are still going out." I’ve been shopping, brother, don’t you think so?”

Zhao Chen responded calmly: "If someone is with you, it's fine to go out for a stroll, but you two girls, who do you want to accompany you when you go out?"

Guo Baozhu rolled his eyes and looked at the people behind him one by one.My own mother definitely can't do it, take it out to take care of things, and Aunt Lin seems to like to take care of things, so she can't take it with her, so the only thing left is...

Guo Baozhu smiled brightly: "I will let my brother accompany me when I have a rest next time, what do you think, brother?"

Guo Zijing still dotes on this younger sister very much, so he nodded slightly.

Mrs. Guo then said to Liu Shi: "See? Baozhu's temper is a result of her father and elder brother's habit. Zijing usually knows how to tell his sister to behave, but every time Baozhu asks him for something, he immediately forgets the rules. , same as now."

Speaking of this, the Liu family can answer the question, "Our family is similar. When Aju was not married, there was an elder sister who took care of her. Ah Zhu was more honest. When the elder sister married someone, she would be lawless... "

The talking and laughing group arrived at Wangzhuxuan, because Aju was weak and the child was young, Xisan was in Wangzhuxuan.

Zhao Yunting was already waiting here, and Zhao Qing was standing beside him. Zhao Han asked for leave in front of Zhao Yunting two days ago because he was unwell, so as to save everyone from embarrassment.So the men stayed in the front yard, and Mrs. Liu Shiguo went to the back.

Ah Ju is coaxing the child with Ning Shi. In the past two days, except for walking around the ground occasionally, she mostly stays on the kang, with a simple slanted bun on her head, quiet and gentle.Seeing Mrs. Guo and the others coming in, he quickly invited them to sit on the kang.

The room is as warm as spring, with a faint smell of milk, the little girls may not be used to the smell, Mrs. Guo Liu's are all experienced, so they are used to it.Ning Shi was sitting opposite Ah Ju, holding the swaddle in her hand, because Liu Shi often came here these days, she nodded to her mother-in-law, and first handed the swaddle to Madam Guo, "Look, does Cancan's eyebrows look like Cheng Yuan? "

Zhao Chen's eyebrows were drawn into his temples, full of heroism.

Mrs. Guo curiously took the swaddle, and saw that the little girl's face inside was delicate and tender, and she could already tell that she was six to seven points like her mother, but her mother had slender bamboo-leaf eyebrows. Shallow, it seems that he really followed his father.After looking at the little girl's big black eyes for a while, Mrs. Guo smiled and boasted: "The eyebrows are like Chengyuan, but they are exactly the same as Ah Ju in other places. She must be a beauty when she grows up."

As she spoke, she took out the gold-encrusted and jade-encrusted longevity lock. There was a small bell hanging under the longevity lock. Mrs. Guo shook it lightly, and the bell sounded crisp and sweet.Cancan let out a cry similar to surprise, her big eyes stared unblinkingly at the longevity lock in front of her, and her small mouth seemed to be exerting force one by one.

Guo Baozhu liked it when she saw it, and stretched out her hand to hug her. Mrs. Guo thought her daughter was messy, so she handed Cancan to Mrs. Liu.

Everyone took turns to wonder, Cancan was always smiling, and finally when she returned to her mother's arms after the three rites, the little doll opened her mouth as if she was tired, blinked her eyes and fell asleep.

Ning Shi led Mrs. Liu Shi Guo to the outside room to talk, and asked the two little girls to accompany Ah Ju to relieve boredom.

"Sister, Baozhu said that she would take me to a shop in the capital, and I want to choose a full moon gift for Cancan." Lin Zhu sat cross-legged on the kang, whispering.

"What can Cancan do at such a young age? You can embroider her a small dress yourself." Aju helped her daughter cover the quilt, then turned her head and looked at the two girls in front of her meaningfully. Two of them embroider each other, and let me see who is better at embroidery." Both of them are naughty, but if they get together now, if she doesn't care about it, there will be no chaos.

Guo Baozhu didn't expect that he was also being talked about, so he couldn't help being dumbfounded. Lin Zhu had been prepared for a long time, and said with a smile: "The things I embroider are too ugly, and Cancan won't like it. I'd better buy her something nice. It's a pity that you I still have to stay in confinement, how about we go out together and have a lot of fun."

Guo Baozhu quickly echoed: "That's right, Cancan's clothes are made with the help of my aunt and sister-in-law, so why should we do it?"

Ah Ju couldn't agree with the two of them, so she had to tell them to be careful when they went out and not to fight with others.

In the afternoon, when the Lin family was about to leave, Aju called Lin Zhu into the room alone, and handed her a purse, "Here, it's rare to come to the capital, so you can buy whatever you like, but you have to save some flowers, lest mother Talk about you." Things are expensive in the capital, my sister and Guo Baozhu probably go to the same place, if my sister can't afford something, what a disappointment.

Lin Zhu knew that the eldest sister wanted to give her money, so she accepted it with a smile without being polite, but when she found out that there were five hundred taels of silver bills in her purse besides some silver ingots, she couldn't help being stunned, more shocked than happy, no Xie asked, "Sister, why are you giving me so much?" She thought there were only a dozen or twenty taels, so she didn't take it seriously.

"See if you will spend money recklessly. If you can save it, it means you have grown up." Aju held her sister's hand and said without telling her sister her worries.Lin Zhu liked beautiful clothes and beautiful jewelry since he was a child. Even if Lin Zhu didn't say anything about the marriage, Ah Ju knew that his sister wanted to marry a rich man just like his aunt.Now in the capital, based on the relationship between the Lin family and the Zhao family, Ah Ju felt that her younger sister was very attractive. Even if some wives from aristocratic families looked down on her, there must be ordinary officials who wanted to marry her.Ah Ju was worried that her younger sister would marry her in a muddle because she saw that the other party's family was rich, so she would rather raise her for her parents. Anyway, she had a lot of money in her hand and didn't worry about spending money. As for Zhao Chen, she discussed with him last night, Zhao Chen also felt that 500 taels was too little.

Lin Zhu didn't really believe in the elder sister's reason, but she couldn't think of any other reason. After thinking about it in her purse, she took out the bank note and returned it to Ah Ju, saying, "Elder sister, I have money, I have been rich since I was a child. The New Year's money given by my aunt and grandmother has been saved so much, do you think I have spent it indiscriminately? You should keep this for yourself. "

The eldest sister gave the broken silver as pocket money, and she gave so much for no reason. Even if her brother-in-law had no grudges in her heart, Lin Zhu didn't want it. She remembered the way Mrs. Zhao Jiatai looked at their family.Last year, she was happy that her eldest sister could enjoy the blessings after marrying her brother-in-law, but she didn't expect to be in the light of her elder sister.

No matter what Ah Ju said, Lin Zhu refused to take it, and finally ran away.

Ah Ju stared at the door curtain in a daze. My sister doesn't want her money. Does this mean she doesn't like money anymore, or is she too embarrassed to accept it?

Zhao Chen sent the guest back, saw her sitting there in a daze, walked to the edge of the kang, hugged her and kissed her, "What are you thinking?"

Aju looked at her daughter who was still asleep, and told the story.

Zhao Chen didn't know his sister-in-law very well either, so he could only comfort him: "Don't worry, Azhu, you don't have to think too much, Azhu is only thirteen, and her father-in-law and mother-in-law won't marry her too early. I will definitely mention it to you. When the time comes, you tell me that I will help my father-in-law to see people, and if I can't do it, I will refuse. How can A Zhu know in the backyard? Besides, A Zhu has always had a good eye, and she won't just fall in love with anyone."

"How do you know she has good eyesight?" Ah Ju curiously looked away from her daughter.

Zhao Chen held her face and smiled, "When you didn't wait to see me, Ah Zhu had already taken a fancy to my brother-in-law, do you think she has good eyesight?"

Ah Ju lowered her head and snickered, thinking that if he was a young master from a rich family at first glance, my sister would have taken a fancy to him?

"Ah, Cancan seems to have peed!" Seeing her daughter wrinkled her face from the corner of the eye, Ah Ju hurriedly reached over to touch it, and the diaper was indeed hot and wet.Just when he wanted to find the clean diaper prepared under the quilt, Zhao Chen had already taken it out, knelt there and helped his daughter put it on himself, with a very focused expression.

My sister has a good eye, Ah Ju thought with a smile.
