The Road to Doting Wife

Chapter 121
Guo Baozhu's tough refusal surprised the Guo family.

After Guo Zijing was sure that his younger sister really didn't like Ji Zhao, he went to the palace to work as a errand without any worries, as if the Ji family had never proposed a marriage.

Guo Yi is different from him. It is rare for his daughter to have a man from a simple family background who obviously does not care about the Guo family to propose marriage. He is still very excited. First, he went to talk to Ji Zhao twice. The word "uncle" is friendly and natural, not as fearful and timid as the children of the same age family, so the temper is right for the appetite.As for kung fu, Guo Yi and Ji Zhao tried two tricks, half satisfied and half dissatisfied.Satisfied because Ji Zhao's skill is not as good as her daughter's, and she is not afraid of her daughter's disadvantages when she gets married in the future, but dissatisfied because Ji Zhao can't even beat her daughter, what if her daughter is bullied by outsiders in the future?
But Guo Yi quickly figured it out, who would dare to bully his daughter?

So five points of satisfaction turned into eight points, and Guo Yi went to talk to his daughter with a smile, wondering why her daughter didn't want to marry.It's a pity that no matter how kind he smiled, Guo Baozhu just insisted that Ji Zhao was not pleasing to the eye, but didn't change his mind.Not only said this to Guo Yi, but also in front of Mrs. Guo.Mrs. Guo had no choice but to force her daughter to marry someone she didn't like, so she had to go back to Aju. The Ji family must be looking forward to the letter. Can they give an answer as soon as possible, so as not to hurt their friendship.

"Why didn't Baozhu say so?" Ning asked curiously, she was still very concerned about her niece's marriage.

Ah Ju also looked at Mrs. Guo in confusion.Although Zhao Chen didn't say it clearly, Ah Ju could feel that Zhao Chen had a good impression of Ji Zhao. She originally thought that this marriage would probably be successful, but how could Guo Baozhu be unwilling?
Mrs. Guo nodded at Cancan's small face, and sighed: "It is said that Ji Zhao scolded her at Long'en Temple that time, and she didn't like Ji Zhao... Forget it, she has been stubborn since she was a child." , let her go, Ah Ju, when you returned to Mrs. Ji, you said that I wanted to keep Baozhu for another year or so, and I have no intention of arranging her marriage for the time being."

we can only do this.

Mrs. Guo left in the morning. Taking advantage of the good weather, Ah Ju went to Ji's house in the afternoon, and politely declined the marriage.

The old lady Ji seemed to have nothing to do with it. When the guests left, her face was covered with dark clouds, and she went to Ji Zhao with a sad face to reprimand: "It's all your fault that you didn't live up to your expectations. You don't want to marry your daughter to you!"

But she knew in her heart that she was to blame for her grandson, because in those two years, her grandson had just lost his mother, so poor, she couldn't see him suffer a little bit, and she accidentally protected him like this.

The old lady Ji regretted her past, and sat down on the couch dejectedly.Either the grandson doesn't like the girl, and he picks a difficult one when he looks at it. She is over 50, and she doesn't know if she can hug her great-grandson before she dies.

Ji Zhao usually had a playful smile on his face, but now seeing his grandmother so worried, he felt uncomfortable. He stood behind the old man and pinched her shoulders skillfully: "The Guo family rejected it?" In fact, he had already guessed the result based on what his grandmother said just now. , just unwilling to ask again.

The old lady Ji glared at him: "I refused, saying that Mrs. Guo wanted to keep her daughter at home to learn more rules, but in fact she didn't want to? Guo Baozhu is now sixteen, it's a good time to talk about kissing."

Learn the rules?
Thinking of that pretty face of Yi Chen Yi Xi, Ji Zhao said with a chuckle: "Grandmother, what are you worried about? Since Bao Zhu has to learn the rules, I will wait for her to learn the rules before I propose marriage. Sooner or later, she will be our daughter-in-law, and grandma will wait Hug your great-grandson. Grandma, look, I’m not good enough on my own, after all, it’s Ji Jiaerlang, and Baozhu’s father and elder brother are both generals, how can the son I have born with her be any worse?”

He was so shameless and shameless, the old lady Ji was angry and laughed, and stretched out her hand to slap her grandson: "Stop talking, if the Guo family hears you, be careful to beat you into meat sauce, and the good girl is arranged for you? Tell you Learning the rules is a word of polite refusal, maybe the Guo family will make a marriage for her later, you fool."

Ji Zhao didn't answer, and looked out the window while pinching his grandmother's shoulders.

Guo Yi has already flattered him. The reason for the failure of the marriage must be because Guo Baozhu didn't want to. A vicious girl, after he coaxed her well, wouldn't she be willing to coax her to be happy?His good wife called out, and she obediently listened. If she doesn't marry, who will he marry?Dare to promise others, if he promises one thing, he will do another one!
Yanping Hou Mansion.

Zeng Xuerou brought a branch of tender yellow wintersweet into the Rongshou Hall, and said to the wife who was sitting on the couch with a smile: "Grandmother, I saw that the wintersweet is blooming well outside, so I specially chose the most beautiful one and brought it here for you, look how?"

Mrs. Tai looked at her hand with interest.

The goose yellow plain wintersweet is fresh and tender.

Mrs. Tai signaled the maid Shaoyao to put the flowers in the vase, raised her hand to let Zeng Xuerou sit beside her, held her hand and boasted: "No matter how beautiful Lamei is, it's not as good-looking as our Xuerou. How about it, go to your cousin twice Sit over there, have you ever seen him?"

Zeng Xuerou lowered her head shyly: "My cousin leaves early and returns late. I only met him once. I didn't dare to look at him, but my cousin told me to walk slowly."

"Well, your cousin has always been reticent. If he is willing to talk to you, he is interested. He will take a big rest in the future. If you spend more time at home, you will have more chances to meet your cousins." Mrs. Tai said with satisfaction. , some things are well known to each other, and she doesn't want to play riddles in secret.

Zeng Xuerou lowered her head, twisting the handkerchief embarrassingly.

Mrs. Tai winked at the maids who were serving her, and when the maids retreated, she took out a small paper bag from her cuff and quickly stuffed it into Zeng Xuerou's hand, and said in a low voice: "When you go there today, Gently dip some of the medicine powder inside and put it into Cancan's mouth..."

Zeng Xuerou shook her hands, hurriedly got up and knelt down, and said with a pale face: "Grandmother, Cancan, this..."

Why is this old woman so cruel?

"What are you afraid of? Get up!" Madam Tai glared at her, and quickly explained: "Don't think about it, Cancan is my great-granddaughter, how could I harm her, and it's all because of you. This medicine Cancan took the most There is no harm in having a stomachache twice, but since Mrs. Lin can't take care of her daughter well, grandma has a reason to bring Cancan to the Rongshou Hall, and your cousin will definitely despise Mrs. Lin because of this, and wait for him to come here When you are watching Cancan, you should behave well..."

She thought about it for a long time, this is the safest way, before her son's eldest grandson rests, she can erase the traces and prevent them from suspecting her, it's like killing two birds with one stone.

The old man's cloudy eyes looked particularly permeating at this time, Zeng Xuerou shuddered, knowing that Mrs. Tai had said something, she must do it, so she pretended to be both excited and worried, looked at the small paper bag and asked: "Grandmother, is it safe to eat this Cancan? What if, what if someone finds out that I did it?"

"Nothing will happen to Cancan, don't worry." Mrs. Tai promised in a low voice, "As long as you don't let people see you when you strike, who will guess you? She dares to accuse you, you won't Because she slandered you? When the time comes, your cousin and I will support you. Her slandering good people will only make your cousin hate you. Okay, go back and think about it. Do it this afternoon, be careful, and don’t let your aunt Disappointed on you."

He patted Zeng Xuerou's hand holding the small paper bag meaningfully.

Zeng Xuerou's face changed again and again, finally she bit her lip, took a deep look at Mrs. Tai, got up and left.

After lunch, she went to Wangzhuxuan.

Ah Ju was coaxing her daughter to play, and asked Cancan to lie on the bed to see if she could raise her head.When Zeng Xuerou came in, Cancan was smiling at her with her head tilted. When she heard the movement at the door, she let out an ah, twisted her little neck and turned around, and lifted it up a little. The big black eyes seemed to see directly into people's hearts.

Zeng Xuerou's eyes felt hot, and she quickly walked a few steps over, hugged Cancan and kissed her.

Such a cute child is only so old, and she likes it from the bottom of her heart after several relationships. How can Mrs. Tai use such means?

Ah Ju saw that her expression was wrong, and slowly put away her smile. After Zeng Xuerou put down her daughter, she was sure that her eyes were really red. Ah Ju winked at Mother Jiang at the side, and then asked in doubt: "What's wrong?"

Zeng Xuerou looked at Cancan who was playing by herself again, took out the paper bag, and whispered Mrs. Tai's plan.

Ah Ju took the paper bag stiffly, feeling chills all over her body.

Twice tummy trouble?My daughter cried twice at night, both she and Zhao Chen feel distressed...

"Sister-in-law, what should we do? She asked me to do it now. If news of Wangzhuxuan's safety spreads, she will definitely suspect me, but we can't really feed Cancan." Zeng Xuerou asked in disbelief. At the age of 14, he had never experienced this kind of poisoning in Zeng's family.

Her tone was uneasy, but Ah Ju gradually calmed down.

She doesn't like Mrs. Tai, but Mrs. Tai's identity is there, she has to deal with Mrs. Tai no matter how she doesn't like it, even Zhao Chen is the same.But it's different now. Mrs. Tai has her eyes on her daughter who is only one and a half months old. Ah Ju is not afraid of being wronged, but afraid of her daughter. Taking this pack of medicine as an example, is it really just two stomach troubles, or...

Ah Ju didn't dare to continue thinking about it.

She didn't dare to carry Cancan to Rongshoutang to pay her respects anymore. As long as she still respected Mrs. Tai as her grandmother, she couldn't stop Mrs. Tai from approaching Cancan.This time Madam Tai wanted to use Zeng Xuerou, but next time, who knows if she will do it herself?
Look at the well-behaved and lovely daughter, Ah Ju doesn't want to explore Mrs. Tai's purpose, she only knows that she can't take half the risk.

The superficial harmony between Wangzhuxuan and Rongshoutang should be broken.

If Zhao Chen was at home, would he agree with her?
Ah Ju settled down and looked at Zeng Xuerou: "Cousin, I have an idea, but I'm afraid it will cause you to suffer some grievances in front of Mrs. Tai. But don't worry, your cousin and I will not let you have any accidents, you can still If you stay in the Hou Mansion, Mrs. Tai will not completely dislike you."

She usually speaks softly and seems to have no temper at all, but her calmness at this moment stunned Zeng Xuerou for a moment, then quickly calmed down, and smiled softly: "It's okay for cousin, Xuerou will do everything, cousin Sister-in-law doesn't need to miss me, Xuerou grows up so big, the last thing she fears is being wronged."

The grievances suffered in Liaodong were for the sake of making the siblings live comfortably, and the grievances they suffered now were for the sake of getting ahead in the future.

As long as there is hope, what is a little grievance?
