The Road to Doting Wife

Chapter 174 The old cow eats the tender grass

At the northwest border, when Zhao Chen was about to arrive in Zhangye, Guo Zijing's big day in the capital arrived.

As a big celebrity by the emperor's side, Guo Zijing got married, and the emperor rewarded him with many good things.Starting with the emperor, the former King Jing, the current prince, King An, King Kang and other county kings, etc., all sent gifts to celebrate.

Guo Zijing took a special look at the gift from the fourth prince Kang Wangfu.

A letter of 800 taels, just like King An, was 200 taels less than what the crown prince gave, and the other gold, silver, silk and satin were nothing special, and it was even more ingenious than the monkey picking peach wood carvings sent by the third prince Qingjun Wang who was thinking behind closed doors.

Did he really forget about Lin Zhu, or did he deliberately not show up on the gift list for Lin Zhu so as not to cause him to misunderstand?

Whether intentionally or not, after today, Lin Zhu will be his wife.King Kang was well-behaved, and he still respected him as a prince. King Qing still wanted to jump, and he was willing to accompany him until he couldn't turn himself over.

After bidding farewell to his parents and guests, Guo Zijing got on his horse in a red wedding gown and went to the Lin family to marry his bride.

The Lin family was extremely lively at this time.

Lin Xian had also worked as a post at the Imperial Academy for two years, and of course he would invite his colleagues over for a wedding banquet when there was a happy event at home. When the wives and wives came, the backyard of the Lin family suddenly became crowded.Liu's Aju is busy entertaining guests, Ning's is coaxing her two grandchildren in the side room, Cancan can run and dance now, wearing a red dress, running around here and there, tossing Cuiyu enough.

"My aunt is so pretty!" Having had enough fun outside, Cancan ran to her aunt's boudoir where she had lived for several months, and boasted while lying on her lap.

"Is it prettier than your mother?" Lin Zhu stroked his niece's flushed face, teasing her softly, with reluctance in his eyes.

Cancan couldn't see the sadness hidden in her aunt's eyes, her face was pressed against her aunt's lap, she just smiled and didn't speak, and still refused to say that her aunt was prettier than her mother.Lin Zhu knew she would be like this a long time ago, and pinched her face pretending to be angry.Cancan smiled and stood up, kneeling in front of her like my aunt, pointing to the pearl tassels hanging from her phoenix crown, "Auntie's hat is so pretty, can I touch it?"

Lin Zhu nodded with a smile.

Cancan was very happy, and raised her little hand to touch it.

Ah Ju came in from the outside, seeing this, she hurriedly hugged her daughter into her arms, "Don't mess with the things on my aunt's head, my uncle will pick up my aunt soon."

Cancan looked at his aunt aggrievedly, Lin Zhu snatched his niece into his lap again and hugged her, angrily said to the eldest sister: "It won't break if you touch it twice, I let Cancan touch it, our mothers talk, eldest sister You should do whatever you want, Cancan said, right?"

The mother stared, Cancan leaned against her aunt's arms and smiled, cleverly keeping silent.

There is Liu Shi looking after her outside, Ah Ju is fine now, looking at her sister and daughter who are so close in front of her, she suddenly feels very reluctant.I slept with my sister on the kang last night, and I have said everything that should be said. Although my sister was shy and didn't want to listen to some things, she didn't talk to her mother. Anyway, that kind of thing mainly depends on men.After babbling a few more words, Ah Ju reached out to her daughter, and Cancan obediently returned to her mother's arms.

Aju kissed her, "My aunt is getting married, has Cancan congratulated her?"

Cancan nodded.

Ah Ju asked her to congratulate again.

Cancan leaned in her mother's arms, and said to her aunt seriously: "I wish my aunt and uncle will have a son soon and grow old together."

The sweet childish voice of the little girl made Lin Zhu's eyes wet all of a sudden. Just as he was about to say something, there was a deafening sound of firecrackers outside.

The bridegroom has arrived.

Ah Ju hurriedly took the hijab to put on for her younger sister, and her own wife came to help Lin Zhuxia Kang, and went to the hall to bid farewell to her parents with the groom.Cancan was in a hurry to go, Ah Ju put on shoes for her daughter with tears in her eyes, and led her to follow behind the crowd.

As night fell, Guo Zijing finished toasting the last glass of wine, stayed with the guests for a while, and pretended to be drunk to leave.

He is the commander of the guards, so of course a lot of his subordinates were invited for such a big event as marriage. Seeing that he wanted to slip away, the guards, who usually dare not make fun of the commander, immediately booed him and dragged him to continue drinking.As the commander-in-chief's brother-in-law, Ji Zhao immediately seized the opportunity to show off, stood in front of his brother-in-law and said, "Okay, okay, the commander-in-chief finally married a wife, do you have the heart to spoil his good deeds?" kick.

One sentence caused a roar of laughter, and all kinds of nasty words came up one after another.

Guo Zijing shook his head, and went down to the backyard with the help of the servants, leaving a group of men with wives or bachelors behind.

Compared with the hustle and bustle in the front yard, the new house is extremely quiet.

The moonlight was like water, reflecting the lights in the yard, and the cool breeze blew away the drunkenness. Guo Zijing sent the boy away, and stood at the gate of the yard by himself for a while before going in.

The maids saluted one after another, Guo Zijing left two of them waiting for the summons under the eaves, and sent the rest away.

After drinking tea outside and rinsing his mouth, Guo Zijing walked unhurriedly into the inner room. When he entered the room, he saw Lin Zhu sitting on the edge of the kang facing him. Soft-soled embroidered shoes, a red skirt and a red blouse, with a red neckline wrapped around a white neck, above is a rosy face reflected by the soft light, and rosy lips.

Guo Zijing didn't continue to look up, but returned to his wife's chest.

The 16-year-old girl has long since lost the youthfulness she had when she first met her.

When a fire ignited somewhere in his body, Guo Zijing slowly raised his eyes, looked into his wife's eyes and said, "I'm back."

His voice was slightly hoarse, but he still maintained his usual coolness and calmness, which could only be heard by those who often deal with him.

Lin Zhu didn't hear it, and saw the man standing there motionless from the corner of his vision, Lin Zhu bit his lip, got up and asked, "I asked them to prepare water for you to take a bath?" He looked at the man's belt while speaking.Now that they are married, they will be husband and wife in the future. No matter what, she will do what a wife should do.

"Need a bath? It's cold now, and I don't seem to be sweating much." Guo Zijing didn't approach her, just staring at her.He is a big man who is used to doing things in his own way. He didn't take a bath every day after autumn, but when he saw Lin Zhu frowning unrecognizably, he smiled silently, "Forget it, let them prepare water. They smell of alcohol and really need to be washed. .”

Lin Zhu immediately went out.Although she didn't look up, she knew that Guo Zijing was looking at her all the time, and that gaze made her feel awkward.

After all, he is a man, no matter why he married her, at this moment, he must be thinking about that, even though he is nine years older than her, even though she is two years younger than Guo Baozhu.

The water was quickly prepared, and the maids were sent out again by Guo Zijing. Guo Zijing looked at his wife with drooping eyes and said nothing, but he didn't ask her to help.

The sound of water soon came from the side room.

Lin Zhu stared at the door of the inner room in a daze for a while, thought for a while, and quickly blew out all the lights in the room, as well as the dragon and phoenix wedding candles. Just after the blowing, he heard the sound of Guo Zijing stepping out of the bathtub, obviously not doing well. Washing, she frowned in disgust, and before the man came over, she quickly took off her shoes, got on the kang and got into bed.

Isn't it just to be a husband and wife? Just let it pass.

Guo Zijing finished wiping himself in the side room, hesitated for a moment before facing the screen with pajamas on it, and finally just pulled another clean towel around his waist.Anyway, he's going to take off soon, what to do with clothes, he doesn't want to give her the illusion that he might not touch her, he wants her to understand what it means to marry him.

Didn't realize it was pitch black inside.

Guo Zijing went outside to get a lamp, lit the dragon and phoenix candle again, glanced at the girl pretending to be sleeping on the kang, and said to himself, "This is going to burn until dawn, don't you know?"

No one answered him.

Guo Zijing didn't take it seriously, blew out the lamp in his hand, and strode towards the kang.

Guo Zijing touched her face, it was full of tears, he didn't know if it was because he was afraid of crying or why.He sighed helplessly, didn't want her immediately, and didn't want to be so rude to her.While wiping her tears, he spoke to her in a low voice: "Azhu, you hate me, don't you? Then tell me, besides not handing you over to him that day, what else did I do to make you unhappy?" thing?"

Lin Zhu paused for a while.

In fact, Guo Zijing didn't feel sorry for her at all.

At first, she was annoyed about King Kang's matter, but later she figured it out, not to mention the flaws in the clothes, just looking at the daughter of the emperor's selection department Shangshu Jia's family, she also knew that the emperor could not be interested in her identity.After Kang Wang got married, Concubine Kang became pregnant with a maid beside Kang Wang. Because Kang Wang loved that maid too much, Kang Wang was so angry that she went back to her mother's house.

Maybe Kang Wang really had nothing to do with that maid when he proposed to marry him, but now that the two of them can get together, it is impossible to be so innocent. Obviously Guo Zijing is right, Kang Wang is indeed not the lover she wants.

She just doesn't want to talk to him.

He had seen all her ugliness. She didn't want to see the contempt in his eyes, or the charity in his eyes. It was he who offered to take responsibility for her, and she didn't force him.

"No, you saved me, I'm grateful to you." Lin Zhu persuaded himself not to be afraid, and said calmly when his body stopped shaking so much.

Guo Zijing didn't feel better than her, so he asked her out of breath, "Why are you ignoring me? Tell me, I'll go out right away."

Lin Zhu didn't say anything, but continued to inhale.

Guo Zijing continued.

"You look down on me!"

Lin Zhu yelled and said it, full of grievances and seemed to find an outlet, crying and scolding: "You look down on me, I like King Rui, you look down on me, I want to marry the fourth prince, you look down on me, but I am you My relative, no matter how much you look down on me, you still want to take care of me for the sake of my brother-in-law... I know you feel wronged, do you think I want to wrong you! You said you wanted to marry me, I didn’t force you, so Don't think I owe you anything! I don't owe you anything!"

She cried heart-rendingly, crying convulsively.

Guo Zijing just felt baffled and didn't understand why she was crying.

After a few words of persuasion, she didn't seem to hear her at all, Guo Zijing leaned over and kissed her everywhere.Her crying gradually changed, Guo Zijing took the opportunity to move forward a little more, Lin Zhu instinctively pushed him, and then he grabbed her tube top and wiped her tears, "Who said I despised you?"

The candlelight illuminated his eyes, even though his eyes were dim with tears, Lin Zhu could see the tenderness in the man's eyes.

what does he mean?Could it be...

Lin Zhu couldn't believe his guess.

Guo Zijing turned his eyes away, pulled the quilt up to cover the tops of their heads, and kissed her ear: "If I only treat you as a relative or a sister, I won't go ashore at all that day. I will swim to the other side and keep this matter safe." People know."

"then you……"

"Because you have provoked too many people, and holding you ashore is the fastest way to make you agree to marry me."

Lin Zhu was dumbfounded.

"Stop thinking about it, just live with me. I am much older than you. Marrying me is wronging you, but I will treat you well." Guo Zijing wiped away the remaining tears on her face, tentatively coaxing her: " Are you not angry anymore?"

Lin Zhu turned his head, feeling a little confused.
