Lu family's daughter-in-law

Chapter 216
Standing in the main room, Ningxiang saw the children coming back from a distance, Ananguoer walked side by side, Amu hugged Maogeer, and Ronggeer walked among them.The sun was shining brightly in August, shining on the children. Brother Rong and Brother Mao were alright. Seeing the other three children gathered together again, Ning Xiang was filled with emotion.

Time flies so fast, and in the blink of an eye, the children are all grown up.

"Why did you bring so many things?" The servants behind were carrying several boxes, Ning Xiang had no choice but to scold her younger brother with a frown: "Amu, didn't I tell you to persuade the prince to order?"

"Amu..." Brother Mao looked at his uncle and smiled, "My uncle's name is Amu."

An imperceptible blush appeared on Xu Mu's fair face, and she looked at her sister complaining.He is 20 years old, why does my sister still call him by his nickname?He would be partial to Xiao Nan, calling Prince in front of his nephews, and only calling Anan when talking alone in private.Anan, Amu, he is very poor, but now his nephew only laughs at him.

"Mother, there are so many things that are worthless." Looking at his adoptive mother whom he hadn't seen for several months, Xiao Nan's expression became much gentler. After people opened the boxes, he walked up to a box of furs and said with a smile: "Mother, these are all We beat the wolf skins ourselves, and later you ask your servants to make them into mattresses, and it will be very warm when you sleep at night."

The child was filial, and Ning Xiang was very pleased. She touched the wolf's fur, and slightly raised her head to look at the young man who had already surpassed her. Be sure to bring a few more guards with you, these beasts are too ferocious, so be careful."

Xiao Nan nodded, with a smile in his phoenix eyes, "Don't worry, mother, I know all about it."

"I want this!" Mao Geer likes gifts the most, looking at boxes one by one, suddenly saw a piece of red fox fur, and another one underneath, Mao Geer was so happy, forgot that he hated the prince brother yesterday Regarding the matter, he said loudly to Xiao Nan, "Brother Prince, give this to me!"

Xiao Nan remained calm, his eyes fell on Guo'er's face, which he specially prepared for Guo'er.

Guo'er also likes these two fox skins. She turned her almond-shaped eyes and bent over to smile at her younger brother, "Mr. Mao likes red foxes? But the cloaks made of red fox skins are worn by girls, so when Mr. Mao wears them, You will be laughed at by your friends."

Brother Mao opened his mouth wide, looked at the fox fur in his hand, suddenly didn't like it, threw it into the box, and continued to rummage through the gifts on the side.

Guo'er picked up two pieces of fox skins, fondled them again and again, and realized that Xiao Nan was looking at her, so she smiled sweetly.

This smile bloomed like a flower, and Xiao Nan's fatigue from the long journey disappeared.

After talking with the elders, Xiao Nan and Xu Mu led Brother Rong and Brother Mao to play in the garden, and of course Guoer followed.

Brother Mao was very active, pestered his uncle to take him around, and refused to stay in one place.Compared with the taciturn Xiao Nan, Brother Rong is more used to getting along with his uncle and chooses to follow him.Guo'er asked Xiao Nan to go there together, Xiao Nan pointed to the nearby hexagonal pavilion and said, "Sit down, I'm tired all the way, and I haven't rested enough yet."

"Why isn't uncle tired?" Guo'er gave him a disgusted look, but followed him to the pavilion.

There was a stone table in the center of the pavilion, Guo'er sat facing out, looking at his younger brother who was being carried by his uncle on his shoulders, Xiao Nan chose the seat diagonally opposite her, so that he wouldn't look too strange looking at Guo'er. The 14-year-old Guoer has delicate and fair skin, moist and bright almond eyes, and even more beautiful lips like cherries. He is fascinated by every frown and smile.

Xiao Nan stared intently.

"What have you been looking at me for?" Guo'er felt it, touched her face, thinking that there was something on her face.

"Guo'er looks better." Xiao Nan stared at Guo'er, his eyes shining like stars.

Guo'er was stunned, she didn't expect Xiao Nan to praise her beauty so directly.The relatives in Tai'an Mansion would praise her every year when they saw her, but as she grew up year by year, her cousins ​​and cousins ​​who were similar in age stopped saying such things, including the prince in front of her.

She looked at Xiao Nan blankly, her eyes met, there seemed to be something more in Xiao Nan's bright black eyes, Guo'er didn't understand it very well, but she felt flustered for no reason.

"You are not allowed to look at me like this." She was not used to this strange feeling, she lowered her head and said in a low voice.

"Why not?" The little girl's fair face gradually turned red, making her even more beautiful. Xiao Nan spoke calmly, but his heart beat fast, and his palms were sweating.As early as the year he entered the palace, he decided to marry Sister Guo'er in the future. Year after year, he finally hoped that she would grow up.Most of the girls get married at the age of 15, so this year he has to settle the marriage. Before seeking the consent of his adoptive parents, Xiao Nan wanted to find out her attitude first.

Guo'er blushed and looked up, seeing that he was still staring at her like that, she lowered her head again, and hummed: "I don't know, it's not allowed anyway."

"Okay, I won't read it, I'll tell you a story, I heard it on the way." Xiao Nan left his seat, turned to Guo'er, and sat down next to her.

"What story?" Guo'er asked curiously, her almond eyes raised, and the handsome face of the young man Lang was reflected in them.

In the distance, Brother Mao was still harming his uncle, Xiao Nan glanced over there, and made sure that one or two children would not come over to make trouble in a short time, then he lowered his head and looked at Guo'er's blushing face, with an indescribable tenderness in his eyes , "It's a story about a childhood sweetheart. The girl's name is Hua'er, and she is the jewel in the palm of her parents. One day, their family took in an orphan. They thought it was their adopted son and named him Abei.

Ah Bei is three years older than Hua'er, he doesn't like anyone, he only likes to play with his sister.When Ah Bei was six years old, Ah Bei's father came to him and wanted to take him home, but Ah Bei was unwilling.His father said, if you don't come with me, you will always be Hua'er's elder brother. When you grow up, older brothers and sisters cannot get married.Ah Bei likes Hua'er, he wants to marry her, so he left with his biological father, Hua'er kept crying, but they separated. "

Guo'er was moved, and murmured, "What happened next?"

"Later, Ah Bei grew up to be a big man. He went back to look for Hua'er. Hua'er was just fourteen, the age to marry, but she didn't remember Ah Bei anymore. She was going to marry someone else, and Ah Bei pestered her to marry him. When she talked about her childhood, Hua'er refused to listen and insisted on getting married. Ah Bei's father was a high-ranking official, and he wanted to force Hua'er to marry him. Hua'er kept crying, just like when she was a child. Ah Bei couldn't bear it and made Hua'er happy Hua'er and her fiancé. In the end, Hua'er and her husband grew old together, and Ah Bei was depressed and lonely all his life. Hua'er was alive, but Ah Bei couldn't bear to force his sweetheart. Hua'er died, and Ah Bei finally snatched her coffin. He was buried together, so that in the next life he can find Hua'er and be a husband and wife with her."

Tears rolled in Guo'er Xing's eyes, "Abei likes Hua'er so much, why doesn't Hua'er like him?"

A 14-year-old girl who doesn't know how to feel affection can't be forced, is more likely to be moved by the poor man who has been infatuated all her life, and complains about it. After all, in this story, the emphasis is on Abei's infatuation, and Hua'er's husband is not described in a single word .

Xiao Nan handed the handkerchief to Guo'er, never leaving her eyes, "So, you are Hua'er, will you marry Ah Bei?"

Guo'er nodded while wiping her tears, there really is a man who likes her so much, she will definitely marry.

Xiao Nan smiled, raised his hand, held her left hand on the table, and moved it to his side, using the table to cover it, and covered it with both hands.

The boy's palms were warm, Guo'er raised his head in shock, with tears still in his eyes.

Xiao Nan squeezed her soft and boneless little hand, his eyes were like water, "Silly, what is my nickname, what is your name?"

Guoer replied blankly, "Your name is Anan..."

As soon as "A'nan" came out, Guo'er suddenly realized.Huaer Anbei and Guoer Anan are both adopted children, only with different endings...

"Guo'er, I like you. If it wasn't for growing up and marrying you, I wouldn't enter the palace to be a prince." Now that she understood, Xiao Nan calmly told her what was in his heart, and stared blankly at Guo'er. Under his gaze, he continued: "Guo'er, if you like me, marry me, and I will love you like our father loves our mother in this life. You are the only one, and I don't even look at other women. If you don't like me, you must not If you are willing to marry me, Ah Bei is my end, I will continue to be the prince, protect you and your husband, and when you die, I will..."

"Shut up, who wants to listen to you saying that you are dead or alive!" Guo'er was so upset that she broke away from his hand and ran away without looking back.

Anan had already stood up, took a step after her, pursed his lips, and stopped in place to watch her back.

He has said everything that should be said, and he hopes that Guo'er will like him as she said when she was crying, otherwise, even if he robs, he will not just watch Guo'er, whom he has loved since childhood, marry someone else .But Xiao Nan will not make her sad, he will watch Guo'er closely, not giving her a chance to like others, he will try his best to treat her well until Guo'er is moved.

But, thinking so, Xiao Nan still suffered from insomnia when he returned to the palace at night.

Does Guo'er like him?
Xiao Nan hoped that she would like it, and hoped that she would marry willingly, because he liked her so much.

In the Hou Mansion, Guo'er was lying on the bed in her middle coat, turned over and over, and also suffered from insomnia. Her mind was filled with the bright phoenix eyes of the young man in the pavilion, his calm but firm voice, and the infatuated man named A Bei. .

So Xiao Nan likes himself so much?
But she has always regarded him as her elder brother, and she didn't think about that at all before, but now he suddenly said that he wanted to marry her...

Guo'er couldn't bear to let Xiao Nan end up like Ah Bei, but, obviously being an elder brother, she didn't like it whenever she wanted.

Unwilling to refuse and not knowing how to like her, Guo'er tossed and turned, and didn't sleep well all night.Because of her impatience, the little girl stretched out her arms for a while, and exposed her feet for a while, and she didn't know when she fell asleep.In the morning, she heard the servant girl calling her in a daze, and Guo'er whimpered and turned inward, staying out of bed.

The servant girl heard that the girl was blushing, and felt that something was wrong, so she reached for her hand...it was really hot.

Tingque hurriedly went to report to his wife.

Lu Chengtian went to work before dawn, and Ningxiang was walking in the yard with her stomach supported. When she heard that her daughter was sick, she was in a hurry, and while rushing to her boudoir, she ordered the servant girl to invite the doctor.

Half an hour later, the doctor told Ningxiang with a relaxed expression that Guo'er just had a slight cold, and it would be fine to take a few medicines, and it would be fine.

Ning Xiang breathed a sigh of relief.

Guo'er blushed, and smiled weakly at her mother, "Mother, go back, don't get sick."

Good and sensible.

Ningxiang felt sorry for her daughter, felt healthy, and was not afraid of any illness, so she stayed by the bed and talked with her daughter.Guo'er looked at her gentle mother, and really wanted to ask her what to do, but the words were on the verge of her mouth, and she was afraid that her mother would not agree to the marriage because of her relationship with Xiao Nan. What about dealings?
Guo'er couldn't bear Xiao Nan's sadness.She remembered when she was a child, Xiao Nan really only played with her, even now, once she had a banquet at home with the sisters who had made friends, Xiao Nan and his uncle came suddenly, the little girls were looking forward to seeing the prince, Seeing that there were so many people in the garden, Xiao Nan immediately went to another place with his uncle, and only came to talk to her after the guests had left.

The love affair has just begun, and the little girl who was originally happy and carefree has more worries overnight.

The Langzhong invited by the Hou Mansion in the morning, not long after the Langzhong left, Xiao Nan got the letter and immediately ran to ask his father for instructions.

He is going to visit the palace.
