National Beauty

In Linyun Hall, everyone from the Guogong Mansion rushed over. The female relatives went to the Huanyue Residence in the backyard to wait for news. Guo Xiao, Guo Fu, and Guo Shu were in the front yard hall. Guo Xiao sat at the red sandalwood rectangular table with a calm expression. The twins sat opposite him. The two brothers looked at each other, and their moods were a bit complicated.

The eldest brother and the fourth sister, they all like it, but the eldest brother and the new aunt, they must be on the side of the eldest brother. If the new aunt gave birth to a daughter, there is no threat to the eldest brother, they will continue to be a good brother, if that one gives birth to a son, things will not be that simple.

"Brother, are you nervous?" Guo Shu dared, teasing in a low voice.

Guo Xiao glanced at him faintly, and Guo Shu chuckled, turning his head to serve tea.

Guo Xiao looked out the door, there was no ups and downs in his heart. He can trust his father and himself. There is nothing to be nervous about, but his stepsister...

Thinking of Song Jianing's frightened face just now when he ran over, Guo Xiao looked down silently.

backyard.

Mrs. Tai sat on the main seat, holding Song Jianing’s cool little hand, seeing her granddaughter’s pale face, staring at the door curtain of Xi Cijian without moving, the worry in Xing’s eyes was far greater than that of ordinary children, and Mrs. Tai was distressed. Up. This child has lost his father at a young age, and has always depended on his mother for life, so naturally he is more dependent on her mother.

"An An, don't worry, your mother has given birth once, this time it will be very fast, you will be able to see your younger siblings after lunch."

Song Jianing looked at her loving grandmother and nodded obediently, but her little hands were still cold.

She was uneasy. Guo Boyan, who was waiting for his wife to give birth for the first time, did not show anything on his face, but his body under his robe was as tight as a string. Because the two younger siblings were present, he did not stare at the door curtain unabashedly like Song Jianing. , Only when he turned his head to pour the tea, his black eyes secretly glanced over there.

The second wife and the third wife tried to say all kinds of auspicious words to ease the atmosphere. Guo Boyan became more irritable as he listened, holding the tea bowl tightly with his big hands, almost crushing it.

From morning to noon, Lin was still not born, and in the early winter, Guo Boyan's back robe was soaked. He wanted to go in and have a look, so he persuaded Mrs. Tai and other female relatives to go to the front yard to eat first. Mrs. Tai was indeed hungry, and leading his daughter-in-law and granddaughter to leave, Song Jianing had no appetite for the first time, and wanted to stay here.

"An An is obedient, go and eat something." Guo Boyan said solemnly.

Song Jianing didn't dare to act like a baby to his stepfather, and followed his wife with one step and three back.

There was a mess of footsteps outside, and the three Guo Xiao brothers left their seats at the same time to greet him. Guo Xiao took the lead in stepping out. For some reason, the first thing he saw was Song Jianing, who was held by Mrs. Tai. Seeing that the girl who is about to be twelve years old, she has grown taller. She lost weight when she complained that she was tired a while ago. She seemed to have lost weight again recently. She frowned, revealing a bit of sadness that is not suitable for her age, like a woman. The innocent and inexperienced child has grown into a girl with hidden concerns in a blink of an eye.

Guo Xiao couldn't look away for a while.

"Grandma, how is the eldest mother?" Guo Fu asked with concern.

When Guo Xiao heard the sound, he recovered in time.

"Wait, let's eat first." Madam Tai said in a relaxed tone.

The men and women split the table. Today, Mrs. Tai particularly dotes on the little granddaughter, holding Song Jianing to sit next to her, and frequently giving Song Jianing her favorite dishes. Song Jianing really has no appetite, so he lowered his head and forced himself to eat it. It tasted like wax. At the next table, Guo Xiao looked at her several times, and every time he saw a strong smile.

Guo Xiao retracted his gaze. He had no feelings for Lin, and suddenly hoped that Lin would give birth to a child and that the mother and child would be safe.

In the backyard, as soon as the wife left, Guo Boyan immediately went into the delivery room eagerly, ignoring the opposition of Lin's maid. Lin was lying on the couch with a screen in front of her. She closed her eyes and went down hard. She didn't hear anyone coming in. One of the three midwives saw Guo Boyan and was shocked, panicking and blocking one side of the screen. Nervously said: "Duke Guo, you can't come in..."

Lin opened his eyes in shock and saw a familiar tall figure through the gauze screen.

At the moment, Guo Boyan wanted to see how Lin gave birth. When he was persuaded by the midwife, he felt inexplicable and didn’t want to watch it, but he didn’t want to go out. So he hid behind the screen and asked Lin in a mute voice: "Yes. Isn't it painful?"

Before Lin could answer, the midwife next to him quietly made a "hush" gesture, and then respectfully explained to the man: "Master Guo, Madam must work hard now. What do you want to say to Madam? Just say it. Okay, Madam can hear it, but it's not convenient to answer you. I hope Grandpa will be considerate."

Guo Boyan immediately said: "Okay, okay, don't let her talk."

Two consecutive "good" words revealed his nervousness.

Lin looked at the figure while enduring the pain, and his memory suddenly became messy. She seemed to have returned to the time when she gave birth to her daughter, when her mother-in-law was still alive and her ex-husband wanted to come in to accompany her, but she was stopped by her mother-in-law. She was lying in bed, because it was the first time she was born, and the conditions of the Song family were not as good as those in the Guogong Mansion. She was dying of pain and wanted to see her husband. But she waited until her daughter was born and the delivery room was cleaned. Come in and visit.

Lin did not blame her husband, but at that time, he was a little wronged in his heart.

Now, the ex-husband failed to give it to her, Guo Boyan, a man who bullied her and forced her to remarry, gave it to her.

The ex-husband’s figure faded away, and only Guo Boyan was left in his mind. It was on Peach Blossom Island. He took off his robe to cover her body. It was the back house of the Song family. He forced her to be his woman. It was the day of his wedding. He was dressed in a happy robe and had handsome eyes, dozens of nights after he was pregnant, while calling her to be late in her ear, he did it by himself, preferring to be less happy than touching those maids.

This man treats her very well, isn't he?

"Master Guo, you can go outside and wait, I'll be fine." Regardless of the midwife's objection, Lin said intermittently. He came in to see her, she was very content, but he was a dignified father-in-law, and could not break the rules, besides having children, the smell in the house was unpleasant.

"Okay, I'll go out and wait, don't talk." Guo Boyan remembered the instructions of the midwife, fearing that Lin was wasting his energy here, staring at the shadow on the bed for a few times, and then hurriedly left.

Lin smiled, tears rolling down his face.

The midwife whispered enviously: "Madam, the grandpa is really kind to you."

Just as Lin was about to smile, a strong impulse suddenly came from underneath, Lin immediately clenched his hand and tried his best to use it down.

"Wow…"

The hall where only the slight chewing sound was heard suddenly broke into a loud child crying. Song Jianing just picked up a fish ball and delivered it to her mouth. When she heard the cry, her chopsticks were loosened, and the milky white fish ball fell into her bowl. The cry continued. Song Jianing looked up at Mrs. Tai. Seeing that Mrs. Tai laughed, Song Jianing finally made sure that she had not misheard, and forgot the rules and lost the chopsticks. The first one rushed out, her red lips curled up. When she got up, Xing's eyes were bright, and she swept away her previous depression.

Guo Xiao could see clearly, and his chest became smooth.

The crowd rushed to the backyard in a swarm, and the three young men also went. When they walked to the door of the hall, they heard the midwife inside shouted and congratulated: "Congratulations, Mrs. Guo, Madam has added a young son to you! Mother and son are safe!"

Behind the curtain, Guo Boyan raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "Okay! Everyone has a reward today!"

Anyone can feel his ecstasy.

There was another grandson, and the wife couldn't help laughing. Suddenly, her smile froze. She secretly observed the grandson, and saw that there was a slight smile on the grandson's face, the wife continued to smile.

A quarter of an hour later, the midwife came out holding the cleaned up boy and handed it to the wife first. The wife hugged steadily, and Song Jianing and the three sisters squeezed over to look. The baby boy in the swaddling clothes closed his eyes, and the little one was surprising, his face wrinkled and ugly, it was his sister Song Jianing, who unconsciously stepped back.

Mrs. Tai laughed: "Children are just like this when they are born. Brother Shang is even more ugly. Isn't he beautiful now? You dislike it right now, and you will be fighting for your fifth brother in a month."

Song Jianing thought about Brother Shang, the little cousin of Sanfang, and finally did not dislike his brother, and looked down.

The son was born and his wife was safe. Guo Boyan once again returned to his usual majesty and stability in front of his family. He waited until the juniors had finished watching the child before he took over his son. Holding his son, who is only five kilograms in weight, he and Lin's son, Guo Boyan, suddenly had pride in their chests.

The surname Song failed to give birth to a son after six years with her, so he embraced it only a year ago. With time, he won't be able to get into her heart.

In the afternoon, Guo Boyan stayed with Lin for a long while. Lin had fallen asleep long ago. Guo Boyan stood by silently, looking back and forth on Lin and the youngest son, not seeing enough. I ate dinner with Lin in the evening, and when Lin fell asleep again, Guo Boyan walked out of the hall, closed his eyes and felt the cold wind in the early winter night, and the agitation slowly calmed down.

No need to get off the lights, he went to the eldest son's Yihexuan alone.

Guo Xiao hadn't slept yet, he heard that his father was here, and he immediately came out to welcome him.

The seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy was just when his head was suddenly jumping, Guo Boyan squeezed his son's stronger shoulders, and said with satisfaction: "In two years, Pingzhang will catch up with his father."

Father and son are so close, Guo Xiao smiled lightly: "Maybe higher than father."

Guo Boyan was taken aback, then laughed, and patted his son hard: "Okay, wait for that day for my father."

Guo Xiao asked his father to sit down.

Guo Boyan waved his hand: "No, just say a few words for my father and leave."

Guo Xiao looked at his father with calm eyes.

Guo Boyan glanced at his son who was about to catch up with his shoulders, and said with emotion: "When you catch up with you as your father, your father will be old too. This family should be supported by you. Pingzhang, the affairs of Chaotang will be the next for the father. I will teach you slowly about the things in the house. For my father, I hope you will be a good brother. Just like me, your second and third uncles, and the Guo brothers, you can live forever."

Black eyes looked at his son expectantly.

Guo Xiao understood his father's deep meaning, and assured him in a deep voice: "Father, don't worry, sons understand."

Guo Boyan believed this and asked his son to go to bed early, and he returned to Linyun Hall.

A month later, the Guogong's Mansion was filled with full moon wine. At the end of the same month, the Shouwang moved to the Shouwang Mansion next door.
