The Road to Doting Wife

Chapter 76
In front of the tidy and quiet gate of the Hou Mansion, a woman dressed as a woman in a scarlet jacket slowly poked out.When she raised her head, there was snow-white fox fur around her neckline, and the ruby ​​earrings fluttering around her ears made her cheeks rosy.When she looked at the man in front of the carriage, the brilliance in her eyes instantly attracted the attention of onlookers. When she lowered her eyes shyly, people couldn't help but look forward to her looking up again with her natural softness. When she put her slender hand on the man's slender and big white hand, and was held by the man, strength and weakness naturally fit together incomparably, and this man and woman became a match made in heaven.

Guo Baozhu stared blankly, a kind of sweetness unconsciously surged up in her heart, sweetness for her uncle.

However, Guo Baoyan had a different feeling, just like when the cloud breaks the beginning of the month, his mood becomes clear, and then it casts a shadow in an instant.She stared blankly at the moon-like man who made her heart beat faster after just one glance, then slowly looked at the woman beside him who was not concealed by his demeanor, and finally lowered her eyes.

The eldest son of the Yanping Marquis Mansion turned out to be like this.

She had never met Marquis Yanping before, but she only knew that he was the most outstanding handsome man in the capital at that time, which made the daughter of the Duke's mansion do everything possible to marry him.She used to think that Qin Shi was superficial, but after seeing the Zhao family man today, she suddenly understood Qin Shi's feelings.

A man looks like this, just like jewelry, it's nothing if he doesn't have the ability to get it, but if he has it, he will definitely find a way to get it.

It's a pity that she neither has a family background that allows her to steal people regardless of the world's criticism, nor is it as lucky as that girl who met him early and married him.If, if she met earlier, is there also a chance?

Guo Baoyan glanced at the man again, and sighed in his heart, if nothing else, she was doomed to miss this man.

She quietly retreated behind her mother.

Mrs. Xu walked up in surprise, interrupted Guo Baozhu's admiration for Ah Ju, looked at Zhao Chen and asked, "You, are you Baozhu's uncle?" Except for the Zhao family, no one else knew the person whom Zhao Yunting had disclosed in the conversation, so Xu could only call him by relationship.

Zhao Chen nodded slightly as a response, and introduced to Ah Ju: "This is the second lady of the Yongchang Houfu." He had seen Xu when he was a child, and even if he hadn't, he could probably guess it.

Ah Ju had already known by heart the identities of the female family members who were related to Zhao's family, and immediately met her, knowing that the Xu family belonged to the type that did not need close friendship, so she bowed to her body and greeted with a smile: "Second Madam, hello."

Mrs. Xu took her hand and nodded again and again, "That's right, my niece and daughter-in-law gave birth so well, I can't find another one in the whole capital, Baozhu calls me Second Aunt, you don't want to call me Second Madam, just follow Baozhu's name." Second aunt." Then she turned around and called Guo Baoyan over, "This is Sister Baozhu, her nickname is Baoyan, from now on my niece and daughter-in-law are bored, so call Sister Baoyan over to talk with you." The Zhao family is the upstart in the capital , the limelight is in full swing.

"Sister Baoyan." Aju shouted with a smile, turned around and ordered Jinshu to bring over the gift that he had prepared for Guo Baoyan, and took the opportunity to withdraw his hand: "If Sister Baoyan doesn't mind, you can talk to Baozhu in the future." Come and find me together."

Guo Baoyan smiled softly: "Well, I will definitely go with Baozhu."

Mrs. Xu immediately interjected, "Nephew and daughter-in-law, you are not from the capital, are you?" She heard that Zhao Chen had been living in the country, and she did not know when he got married.

Ah Ju said generously: "Yes, I am from Dengzhou." Zhao Chen once avoided living in Dengzhou and no longer has to hide it from everyone.

After introducing himself, Ah Ju introduced Ning's.

Mrs. Xu was startled by Aju's identity, she was so curious that she didn't pay much attention to the foster mother, and wanted to find out what Aju's family was like. Guo Baozhu suddenly squeezed between the two of them, hugged Aju's arm and turned to face each other. Xu said: "Second aunt, my mother is still waiting inside, I will lead my uncle and the others in first."

Only then did Mrs. Xu realize that this was not the time to inquire, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Go, go, your mother must be thinking badly. No matter how indifferent the nephew of the direct relative is, she is still thinking about it in her heart. Sigh, niece and daughter-in-law Don't be afraid to see your aunt in a while, she has a cold face and a warm heart, even she doesn't smile much at Baozhu."

Ah Ju smiled and didn't answer, turned around after pleading guilty, and followed Guo Baozhu into the Hou Mansion.

Jin Shu followed her closely, while Jin Mo stayed behind, staring at the little maids in the rear car lined up with gifts, and then walked in.

Looking at the backs of the group of people, Xu said to the big servant girl beside him: "Send someone to find a servant girl to inquire about it later."

As for what to ask, of course she understands that she can do it.

On the way to the main courtyard, Guo Baozhu was complaining to Ah Ju in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, you don't need to talk to my second aunt, she is the most talkative, and not many people in the capital like her. And my sister, hmph, I can't pick her." It's her fault, but I just don't like her, let me make it clear first, even if I go to the Hou Mansion to talk to my sister-in-law, I won't ask her to go with her. "

This is her own words, Ah Ju was very happy that this sister liked her, so she whispered to her: "If you don't like it, don't call her, come here by yourself." No one would dislike others for no reason, she didn't know what Guo Baoyan was like Anyway, at least it's definitely not worth her embarrassing Guo Baozhu because of her.

Guo Baozhu looked up at her in surprise, and grinned a little bit.

The two of them whispered, Zhao Chen who was walking side by side with Ning suddenly turned around and asked Guo Baozhu with a smile: "Who are you talking bad about?"

Guo Baozhu looked at the two of them, and said with a smile: "I'm asking my sister-in-law why you can marry her even when she lives in Dengzhou! Uncle, what have you been up to these years?" It doesn't look like I will stay where I am.

Zhao Chen smiled: "Let's talk together after seeing my aunt."

Guo Baozhu curled her lips, seeing the woman wearing a veiled hat in front of her also looked back at her, and became more and more curious about her uncle's experience.My uncle is too courageous, he dares to take it to her house after recognizing his adoptive mother?

While talking, I passed the Chuihua Gate, and after walking for a while, I arrived at Mrs. Guo's Yuxue Hall.

In the middle of the courtyard, Mrs. Guo was walking out in a lilac-colored moonflower dress. As soon as the two met, she stopped slowly and fixed her eyes on the woman who was walking side by side with Zhao Chen in front, looking at her hazy face under the veil. Look at her familiar figure.

She opened her mouth, but she couldn't make a sound, a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes, and tears floated.

Guo Baozhu thought she was wrong, she blinked her eyes, and even let go of her new sister-in-law's arm and walked to the front, and then she really saw tears rolling down her mother's eyes.

When was the last time my mother cried?
It seems that when she was very young, she woke up from her sleep, opened her eyes, and saw her mother lying beside her, in the dim tent, her mother was quietly looking at the top of the bed, so quiet, as if she didn't know her face Tears hung on his face.

Guo Baozhu always remembered that scene, because it was the only time she saw her mother cry.

"Mother, what's the matter with you?" Guo Baozhu walked over quickly, but before she could take out the handkerchief, Mrs. Guo had already taken a step back indifferently, casually wiped her tears with her fingertips, and said coldly: "When you come back, you will be happy." Alright, go sit in the room." Before the voice fell, she had already turned back, walking calmly.

"Mother?" Zhao Chen reminded softly.

Ning returned to her senses, nodded, and followed the figure she hadn't seen in ten years.

My sister is five years older than her. My sister got married after being with her for ten years. Later, the two got married and never lived in the same house as before. Goodbye now, another ten years in between.

Is it long?
Those ten years felt like a long time, but looking back now, it seems like a dream.

After entering the house, Mrs. Guo didn't say anything, the maids served tea, and after receiving the gift from Ah Ju and his wife, they asked their daughter to accompany the guests, and she called Ning to the inner room.

"What's going on?" Mrs. Guo sat on the couch and asked expressionlessly.

Ning took off her hat, put it on the table, and sat down beside her sister.Mrs. Guo was still looking ahead, and Ning looked at her silently. When Mrs. Guo finally turned her head, she smiled, took her sister's hand and said, "I thought my sister would never want to see me again."

No one has ever seen this kind of playfulness except for Ning's family members.

Mrs. Guo burst into tears again.

Although the Ning family was exiled, she, her husband and even Zhao Yunting had managed it secretly, and their life was a bit more difficult, but they would not bear the heavy suffering. Only this sister died early, and the midnight dream was heart-wrenching pain.

Ning handed the handkerchief to her sister, Mrs. Guo took it, and turned to wipe away her tears, "Say it."

Ning shi then briefly explained the matter in a soft voice, ten years, it was really just a few paragraphs.

Her voice was calm, as if she had returned to the time when the sisters talked about the people in the book before they got married.Mrs. Guo stopped crying soon, and listened quietly, holding her sister's hand.

"Sister, apart from being ashamed of the Ning family, I have lived a good life these years. Chengyuan is filial and promising, and I have a good daughter-in-law who is one in a hundred. As for Zijing, I heard from Chengyuan that he is not married yet, but he doesn't want to marry. , or is there no suitable girl?" Not wanting to talk about her own affairs, Ning changed the topic.

Mrs. Guo looked at her sister.

In fact, she still has a lot to ask, for example, is my sister planning to live with Zhao Yunting like this?But so what if I ask, the sisters both have their own ideas, and the things they decide will not change, and the younger sister is the same.Now that she's back, she must have her own plans. Whether it's for her son or Zhao Yunting, she has made choices.

Mrs. Guo felt uncomfortable. She felt that it was not worth it, but her sister was still alive, and that was enough.

What did my sister say just now?

Oh, her son.

Mrs. Guo smiled slightly: "He doesn't want to marry himself, and he doesn't know what kind of girl he wants to marry. I don't bother to care about him."

Ning understood this feeling, and asked her niece again, "Isn't Baozhu about fifteen? Has anyone chosen?"

Mrs. Guo's rare smile immediately froze, and she said to the outside: "You have seen it too, what kind of family can you find if you have the same eccentric temper as him? The poet and book family look down on her, and there are no rules in the family. I'm not at ease. Let's see, anyway, your brother-in-law said, stay until eighteen, and if you haven't married after eighteen, pick a few good hydrangeas from his hands."

Ning couldn't help laughing, "Brother-in-law really hasn't changed at all."

Mrs. Guo shook her head: "Unfortunately, both of them are on duty today. Lan Rong, let's eat here tonight. Let Chengyuan meet them. They are all practicing martial arts. They should be able to talk together. "My husband is in Wucheng Bingma Division. When the capital is the busiest, it is also the busiest time for them. The son works as a bodyguard by the emperor's side. Except for rotating duty, there is no such thing as a big rest.

Ning nodded: "Okay. Alright, let's go out, you haven't talked to Ah Ju well yet, don't let her be afraid of you."

"I'm afraid she's timid, but I didn't scold her." Mrs. Guo stood up and whispered.I didn't realize that I talked a lot more today.
