The Road to Doting Wife

Chapter 154

Guo Baozhu got married on the sixth day of the lunar new year, and on the fifth day of the fifth day, all relatives and friends would go to Guo's house to add boxes.

Ah Ju got up early to dress up her daughter.

After the year, Cancan grows up quickly, taller, her eyebrows and eyes widened, her small mouth talks more and more, and she becomes more and more mischievous, especially after the spring warms up, the little girl can't wait to see her every day. Running in the garden, seeing everything is novel, never tired of it, sometimes playing too crazy during the day, and snoring at night.

While putting on a small skirt for her daughter, Ah Ju asked her with a smile, "Cancan, where are we going today?"

Cancan was lowering her head to touch her new clothes. Hearing this, she raised her head and said happily, "Go to my aunt's house!"

"Then Cancan, what do you want to give to aunt?" After putting on her skirt, Aju pulled her daughter up and let her sit in front of the kang, and she continued to put on her shoes.

Cancan immediately looked on the table and saw that the pink orchid she picked from her grandmother yesterday was still in the vase, and said with a smile: "Give the orchid to my aunt!"

Ah Ju picked up her daughter and kissed her rewardingly, "Okay, let's go to have dinner with grandma first, and then go to see my aunt after dinner. My aunt is going to be a bride, she must be very beautiful." She didn't tell her daughter that she won it yesterday. It has wilted, and the one in the vase was picked by her servant girl.

Cancan originally wanted to go down to the ground by herself, but when she heard this, she hugged her mother and kissed her neck, and asked curiously what a bride was.

Tong Yan was innocent, Ah Ju felt as if she had been warmed by the bright sunshine outside, and she walked towards Xinlan Garden while talking to her daughter: "Bride, my aunt will wear a very beautiful red dress tomorrow, and your uncle will come to pick her up. She is the bride, and as a bride, she will give Cancan a little cousin next year to play with Cancan."

Cancan is curious about everything now, so she asks who is her uncle and where is her little cousin.

Her daughter's questions came one after another, and Ah Ju sometimes didn't know how to explain them, but hearing her daughter's soft and sweet voice, she couldn't bear to fool her, so she explained patiently, even though after explaining, there would be more questions for adults to see. Questions that don't need explanation at all.

Arriving at Xinlanyuan, seeing her daughter running towards her grandmother, Ah Ju was really relieved.

The older the daughter, the more tiring it is to coax.

Watching the servants put all the boxes and gifts into the carriage, the three generations of grandparents also boarded the carriage and headed to Guo's mansion together.

On the way, Cancan kept leaning towards the car window. Aju wanted to teach her daughter to be more honest, so Cancan ran to her grandmother's arms and asked her to hug her.Ning loved the little girl more than her daughter-in-law, so she opened a curtain for her. Chancan tilted her head and wanted to tear the curtain completely, but Ning coaxed her seriously, "There are bad people outside, and the bad people will arrest Cancan when they see Cancan. Let's go, let's watch secretly like this, so as not to let the bad guys see Cancan."

Cancan immediately retracted her hand, shaking her head like a little adult: "Don't let me, don't let me catch Cancan!"

"Cancan is so good." Ning boasted solemnly.

Ah Ju couldn't help laughing at the side, seeing her daughter looking back at her, she hurriedly put away her smile.The daughter is as smart as her father, if she sees her smiling, she will doubt her grandmother's words, just like last month when Cancan played late and refused to sleep. She will see a lot of rubies, she glared at him, Zhao Chen also winked at her, was seen by Cancan, guessed that her father was lying to her, and refused to sleep even more...

Cancan stared at her mother for a while, then moved to the window to look out curiously.

With such a lively and lovely little girl accompanying him, it seemed that the carriage arrived in front of Guo's residence not long after.

Guo Zijing asked for a three-day leave to marry his younger sister, and today he greeted the guests at the front, as soon as the Zhao family's carriage came, he immediately went to the front of the carriage.The curtain of the car was opened, and Cancan turned her head to look out curiously. At this time, Ning Shi had already put on her veiled hat, and asked her granddaughter with a smile, "Does Cancan still recognize Uncle?"

Cancan blinked and looked at the tall man in front of the car.

There was only such a little girl among the relatives, and Guo Zijing liked it very much, so he smiled at his little niece.

Cancan followed suit with a smile, and opened her hands towards Uncle, "Hug Uncle."

Guo Zijing easily carried his little niece down.

Ah Ju got out of the carriage with her mother-in-law.Looking at the entrance of the alley, Ah Ju casually asked Guo Zijing, "Have Cancan's grandma and the others come?"

"It's not here yet, you go ahead and sit down, Baozhu has been looking forward to it for a long time." Guo Zijing handed Cancan to Ning, and called for a servant girl to lead the way.

Ah Ju nodded, and walked towards the inner courtyard with her mother-in-law.

Cancan was lying on her grandmother's shoulder, still looking back at her uncle, her pair of peach blossom eyes were dark and watery like the girls of the Lin family.

Guo Zijing watched his little niece off with a smile, and wanted to go back, but his little niece kept staring at him. It was rare for a child to like him so much. Guo Zijing couldn't bear to turn around first, and just stood there smiling, waiting for Cancan to be attracted by the scenery in the yard. Elsewhere, he just lifted his foot.

The boy who was in charge of running errands at the door ran over, "Master, Master Lin's carriage has arrived."

In February, Lin Xian was specially promoted by the emperor. He was promoted from Shujishi to be a minister of the Imperial Academy, and he was the sixth rank.

Guo Zijing strode out.

When he went out, he saw Lin Zhu jumped down from the carriage, the two looked at each other, Lin Zhu smiled brightly at him: "Brother Guo."

The lavender beanie embroidered with magnolia flowers, and the long white skirt, stood pretty in the spring light, smiling like a flower, making people unable to move their eyes away.

Guo Zijing was in a daze for a moment.

Compared with the previous year, Lin Zhu was taller, with a more graceful figure, and more lively eyebrows and eyes.If Lin Zhu stood in front of the eldest sister at that time as a foil, at the age of 15 she was no worse than the eldest sister who had become a mother, but because of the agility in her eyes, she was even more eye-catching.

At least in Guo Zijing's opinion, Lin Zhu is prettier than his younger siblings, because he has never looked at his younger siblings in awe.

Although Guo Zijing quickly restrained the surprise in his eyes, Lin Zhu, who has always been sensitive to it, still noticed it. Thinking that he had lost face in front of Guo Zijing twice, and now men were attracted by her beauty, Lin Zhu was a little proud, Taking one last look at Guo Zijing, he turned to help his mother.

The corners of the girl's mouth turned up, and although the smugness in her eyes was not obvious, he could see who Guo Zijing was.

Guo Zijing wanted to laugh, he just looked at her one more time, what is the little girl proud of?He was nine years older than her, did she think that he was moved by looking at her more?
Not wanting to cause the little girl to misunderstand, when greeting Liu, Guo Zijing told himself not to look at Lin Zhu.

But when he found that Lin Zhu didn't look at him all the time, but kept looking inside excitedly, as if he couldn't wait to see his sister soon, Guo Zijing felt uncomfortable somewhere in his body.Lin Zhu's ignorance or turning a blind eye made it even more obvious that it was unnecessary for him to prove that he had no special thoughts about her.

He looked at her, Lin Zhu was proud, but she didn't care if he had any thoughts in his mind.

Seeing Lin Zhu walking towards the inner courtyard holding his mother's arm without looking back, Guo Zijing seemed to be caught by something.

He wanted to tell her not to think too much, there was nothing to be proud of, but Lin Zhu had clearly decided that the way she ignored it was more like a general who had won a battle, and he was just a pawn who lost. I'm not interested in what I think.

Guo Zijing had never been so ignored before.

When Lin Zhu's figure disappeared completely, Guo Zijing suddenly realized a problem.

When Lin Zhu first met King Rui at the woodcarving shop, King Rui smiled at her, and Lin Zhu blushed, and the girl fell in love for the first time.

As for him, when he met Lin Zhu for the first time, Lin Zhu seemed to call out Brother Guo sweetly?

Does this mean that he is inferior to King Rui?So Lin Zhu would be tempted by King Rui, and treat him like an ordinary relative?

Guo Zijing frowned.

In terms of age, he was not much different from King Rui. In terms of appearance, he thought he could not lose to King Rui. In terms of status, for a girl who came from the countryside at that time, he was a third-rank official. When I first met Lin Zhu, I didn't give him extra thought, which shows that he is indeed not as good as King Rui.

Guo Zijing doesn't care about Lin Zhu's girlish thoughts, but he wants to know where he lost to King Rui.

When I was absent-minded, another guest arrived.

Guo Zijing went out to meet the guests, and it was Mrs. Jing Zhaoyin's wife and daughter who came, and when he noticed that Miss Lu glanced at him quietly, Guo Zijing's chest became more and more stuffy.

The concierge watched from the side and nodded secretly. Sure enough, the relatives are different. Just now the mother and daughter of the Lin family came, but the uncle accompanied them for a long way inside.

Guo Baozhu's boudoir.

Cancan was the first to give her orchid to her aunt, and insisted on wearing it for her right away.It was rare to be valued so much by the little girl, Guo Baozhu was so happy, he squatted down and asked Cancan to wear flowers for her.Cancan is a small person, after fiddling with her for a long time, she inserted the orchid into her aunt's bun crookedly, took two steps back, and her apprentice praised her and nodded like that, "Pretty, aunt is so pretty!"

"Cancan looks better!" Guo Baozhu's heart melted, and he picked up the little girl and kissed her twice.

Cancan looked down at the red dress on her body, then at her mother, and asked expectantly, "Where is my brother?"

Guo Baozhu was puzzled, and looked at his sister-in-law blankly.

Ah Ju couldn't help laughing, since there was no outsider in the room anyway, she joked: "Cancan asked when you will add a little cousin to her!"

Cancan then called out to his cousin.

Guo Baozhu blushed immediately, just as Liu's Lin Zhu walked in, she immediately stuffed Cancan into Lin Zhu's arms: "Ask your aunt for a younger brother!"

"What brother?" Lin Zhu asked doubtfully as he embraced his niece and kissed her.

Guo Baozhu wanted to explain, but Mrs. Guo grabbed her and said, "I'm going to get married soon, so don't hold back your words." Her daughter is about to get married, and Ah Ju's sister-in-law's jokes are nothing, Lin Zhu hasn't said anything yet, How can you tease her with such a thing?

Ah Ju also smiled and changed the subject.

But Lin Zhu knew that Guo Baozhu was definitely trying to tease her, so after playing with her niece for a while, she secretly tickled Guo Baozhu while the elders were not paying attention, and immediately dodged behind Mrs. Guo after scratching, Guo Baozhu didn't dare to fight in front of her mother , glared at her threateningly.

The guests came one after another, and there were more and more people in the room. Ah Ju called her mother and sister, and went to the side courtyard to talk to her mother-in-law.The mother-in-law would not show up at such a lively occasion. If it wasn't for the big event of Guo Baozhu getting married, the mother-in-law would not come.

On the way, I met Xu, the second wife of the Guo family.

Mrs. Xu lost a lot of weight and looked old. When she saw them, she hurriedly greeted them and led the maid away. She didn't take the initiative to chat with them like before.

Lin Zhu couldn't help asking his eldest sister, "After Guo Baoyan went to Cangzhou, is there any news?"

Ah Ju really heard Mrs. Ji mention it once, it seems that Guo Baoyan was quite favored by her husband when he arrived in Cangzhou, and even the wife of the wife had to give her three points, full of noble concubine style.It's just so much to be favored, being a concubine, and not even being able to return to her mother's house during the holidays, for Guo Baoyan's kind of serious lady of the Houfu, there is probably nothing more uncomfortable than this.

Who is to blame, she didn't have Ji Zhao's idea at the beginning, so she wouldn't have ended up like this.

The path is chosen by oneself, if Guo Baoyan can catch her husband's heart, there will always be something to look forward to in the rest of her life.

Just like her, if she refused to accept Zhao Chen's favor when she married Zhao Chen, it might be a different situation today.

When we arrived at the side courtyard, a figure in front of us was admiring the flowers, Ah Ju smiled and put his daughter on the ground, "Cancan, let's go to grandma."

Cancan grinned and ran towards her grandmother unsteadily.
