National Beauty

After seeing the king of Chu welcoming his relatives once, Song Jianing was full of emotion, envious of other brides, pitying his past life, and then had a good dream that night. Song Jianing dreamed that she was growing up, and her mother and stepfather chose a good man for her. The embroidered ladies gathered around her to sew her wedding gown. The big red wedding gown could be worn in a blink of an eye, and Xiba dressed her up. Pretty bright, covered her with a red hijab. The sound of firecrackers made her stepfather carry her on the sedan chair all the time.

Song Jianing in the dream was so beautiful, the sedan chair was bumping up and down, and the honey in her heart was tumbling. Just as beautiful, the sedan chair was suddenly stopped by someone. She lifted her hijab in confusion and saw Guo Xiao Tieqing's face. He was standing in front of the sedan chair in silver armor. He pulled her out with a big hand and pinched her neck severely. , The eye canthus is about to split: "Who does the cheap concubine want to marry!"

Song Jianing's neck hurts so much. She desperately grabbed his hand, but touched her neck, her eyes opened and she woke up.

It was dark in the tent, Song Jianing was sweaty, tilted his head and glanced, only the light outside the window, and the birds hadn't even flown over and chattered. Song Jianing lay blankly for a while, touching Khan Da Da's neck, thinking of the situation in his dream, Song Jianing smiled helplessly. Although the back of this dream is scary, the front is really beautiful. The only regret is that she never heard anyone mention the name of the bridegroom in her dream from beginning to end, nor did she see her face.

Song Jianing blinked and suddenly became very curious about what kind of man she would marry in this life.

At dawn, Song Jianing went to the front yard to find his mother. Guo Boyan had already gone to the court, and the mother and daughter took Brother Mao for breakfast together. The family of Chu Wangcheng’s family was full of joy. Song Jianing was just a spectator. After watching, he continued to live his own plain and warm little life. First, he went to read and practice flute. During class, he heard Yunfang talk to his second sister Lan Fang about yesterday’s situation, so he accompanied his wife after class. Madam and sister Ting Fang sat for a while, and Song Jianing couldn't wait to rush back to Linyun Hall to coax her younger brother.

In the evening, Guo Boyan came back, changed his clothes in the front yard, and came to Huanyueju, and said to Lin when he walked in, "Have a few more dishes in the kitchen. Ping Zhang and Ting Fang will use them here tonight."

When Lin heard it, he smiled and told Qiuyue to order a few dishes that Guo Xiao and Ting Fang liked to eat.

Guo Boyan listened to his ears, and his heart was as if he was soaking in a pool of Tangquan, very ironed.

"Father, my brother is looking for you." Song Jianing moved to the couch holding Brother Mao. In his arms, Brother Mao was struggling towards his father, looking at the tall man above his head with big dark eyes. It has been another month, and Brother Mao is a lap heavier than in February, and Song Jianing almost can't hold him.

Fearing that his daughter would fall off his younger brother, Guo Boyan hurriedly took over his son and held up a kiss.

Brother Maoer grinned and stretched out Chubby's hand to catch Daddy.

Guo Boyan lowered his head and touched it to his son. Looking at his son's innocent smiling face, Guo Boyan couldn't help but said with emotion: "It's like Ping Zhang, exactly the same as when Ping Zhang was a child."

He was unintentional, both of his own sons. He looked really alike. It was natural to say a few words. Lin's smile faded when he heard it. In his mind, Guo Boyan was holding a few months old rare son. , The late Tan was just like she is now, standing aside and smiling.

The slight sourness is fleeting, and the widow marries the widower, and she really has to care about those things.

Since the Guo Xiao brothers and sisters were coming, the family of three went to the front yard and waited first. Ting Fang arrived first, and Guo Xiao returned from Ma Jun camp soon after dark. Knowing that his father told him to go to Linyuntang for food, Guo Xiao walked back to Yihexuan quickly. He didn’t have time to take a shower. He simply wiped his face and changed into a home-made robe. Then he hurried to Linyuntang and bent over when he entered the house. The two of them apologized: "There was a delay in the camp, and my father and mother had been waiting for a long time."

Guo Boyan did wait for a long time. It didn't matter if he waited alone, his wife and daughter also waited, his face was not very good.

Lin said softly: "Business matters, my son doesn't need to be guilty, see you are hot, hurry up and sit down and have a sip of tea."

"Thank my mother for caring." Guo Xiao calmly said, looking up at his father, then walked to Guo Boyan's lower left seat, Ting Fang just poured tea for his brother, Guo Xiao nodded to his sister again, and drank half a bowl in one breath. Putting down the tea bowl, and inadvertently swept his gaze over his father's side, he saw Brother Mao looking at him with his little head tilted. He was a little silly with his small mouth open. His eyes were facing each other. The little guy suddenly grinned and turned his head and dived into his father's arms. , As if someone was teasing him.

When Guo Xiao was about to look away, the boy looked at him with his head tilted, his eyes matched, and the little guy turned his head and smiled again.

Guo Xiao was a little at a loss. If he didn't look at his brother, the boy would be disappointed if he didn't have to play. Look, it's so stupid.

"Brother and elder brother are playing with each other." Ting Fang said amusedly.

Guo Xiao glanced at his sister, then moved his gaze away. Guo Boyan looked at his eldest son and said, "Brother Mao loves you, you hold me for a while."

Deliberately want to bring the two sons close.

When his father spoke, Guo Xiao immediately got up and walked over to pick up Brother Mao. Brother Mao is now the most favored among the grandchildren of the Guogong Mansion. The elders like him, and the older brothers and sisters rarely tease him. Only Guo Xiao hugs him the least. Ting Fang forced the past. But Brother Mao didn't recognize the birth. His brother was still a few steps away from him, so he raised his little arm, waiting for his brother to hold him, his watery eyes were full of love.

Compared with his younger brother's rich and abundant feelings, Guo Xiao looked as usual, only when he hugged his younger brother, he held the boy's back with one hand in time.

If you hold less, it doesn't mean you won't.

Then this hug got into trouble. Brother Mao liked her brother so much that he refused to ask the nurse to take him away while eating. It didn't work for Lin to pick him up personally, so he asked his brother to hold him. Guo Boyan smiled and said, "Let Pingzhang hold and eat, Brother Mao is light, and nothing can be delayed."

Lin took his seat uneasy.

Song Jianing and Ting Fang sat across from Guo Xiao. When eating, she couldn't help but pay attention to the big and small on the opposite side. Guo Xiao held Brother Mao'er in one hand and chopsticks in his other hand. Brother Mao'er was very honest at first, and soon became naughty. He stood up straight and threw forward to grab his brother's chopsticks and bowl. Guo Xiao held Brother Mao's chest with one hand to avoid hitting, and moved the bowl forward with one hand. Brother Mao raised his head and said "Ah" to his brother, and a very rich saliva dripped from the corner of his mouth.

The nursing mother was watching by the side, and quickly wiped it off with the kerchief. After finishing the wipe, he tried to pick it up, and then he immediately shrank into his brother's arms.

No one can help.

Guo Xiao glanced at the table and scooped a little rice paste specially prepared for him for Brother Mao. Brother Mao opened his mouth and waited early, so that his brother would wait on him. Guo Xiao took a bite by himself and fed his brother two bites. Guo Boyan and others stared at them, but Guo Xiao only looked at his brother and didn't look at the expressions of the family members.

Guo Boyan was gratified. Lin was very touched. For the first time, he felt that his stepson was not as cold as he showed.

Song Jianing looked down and lowered her head because she remembered that Guo Xiao had fed her like this in her previous life. Once she was ill and sickly and weak. Guo Xiao personally fed her several times. The feeding was the same as now, without any expression on his face. Silent gentleness. In fact, Song Jianing has been moved. When he is not moving deeply, he feeds the fish once and looks at the lonely little red carp in the tank. No matter how happy he eats, he can't swim out of the cage-like tank. , Song Jianing suddenly woke up.

Guo Xiao is raising her as a red carp, she is his plaything, a red carp he likes very much, she is good, he just teases and enjoys, she is sick and has no energy to serve him, of course he has to take care of it carefully. , Raise her well, he can continue to enjoy. All the good, after all, is to be happy for himself.

Since then, Song Jianing has never dreamed anymore. Dreaming Guo Xiao might really like herself, so later Guo Xiao said that he was going to marry Princess Duanhui. She had already seen through, so she didn’t feel a little sad and only hoped for Guo Xiao. It hurts Princess Duanhui so much so that Princess Duanhui will not trouble her.

"An An?"

When someone called her, Song Jianing suddenly regained consciousness, Lin was funny, and repeated Guo Boyan's words: "Tomorrow, you will take a rest, your father will take us to Zhuangzi."

Song Jianing was overjoyed. This year, sister Tingfang decided to kiss. In early March, Yunfang urged everyone to go out to play. Song Jianing was quite moved. However, the two cousins ​​of Guo Fu and Guo Shu refused to go for some reason. Without the company of their elder brothers, the girls would not be able to travel, so the spring was full, and Song Jianing could only walk around in the back garden of the Guogong Mansion. No matter how beautiful the garden was, he would be tired of walking around every day.

"Father is really nice." Song Jianing said sweetly.

Guo Boyan smiled and his eyes fell on the eldest daughter's face. The eldest daughter was going to get married at the end of the year. He mainly wanted to accompany the eldest daughter on the tour this time. In the past ten years, he was busy serving the emperor and had no chance to spend time with his children. Ting Fang understands her father's intentions, and her heart is warm and sour. His father finally has free time, but she has grown up and has little chance to be filial by his father's side.

Early the next morning, Lin carried Brother Mao in a carriage. Song Jianing and Ting Fang sat in the back. Guo Boyan, Guo Xiao and his son rode on horses. The family of six went out for the first time on the road out of the city, attracting the attention of hundreds of people. There are those who remember the status of Mrs. Guo, even Daolin's fate is good, he is loved by a man, and his son is close to him. The daughter brought into the mansion from the Song family has also risen to the sky and became famous ladies.

Lin was busy taking care of his naughty son, Song Jianing happily talked to her sister, and no one heard the gossip outside the car.

An hour later, the carriage stopped in front of a village surrounded by mountains and rivers.

The outskirts have a wide view, and the green mountains and green waters are full of vitality. Song Jianing dragged Ting Fang to fly a kite, and Guo Xiao took turns to help his sisters lift high. The kite was flying, and the sisters walked far away side by side. Guo Xiao's stalwart father and beautiful stepmother, sitting on the floor, stood alone by the stream with their hands on their hands, staring at the kite in the sky, occasionally passing by the two girls holding the kite. .

The spring was beautiful, and the family of six had fun, but a rush of horseshoes approached quickly in the distance.

Guo Xiao tilted his head, lying on the grass holding his youngest son to step on his chest, Guo Boyan's expression changed slightly, and he sat up slowly.

The guard who reported the news had already approached, and Ma Wei stopped steadily and jumped down. He staggered a few steps and finally came to Guo Boyan. He bowed his head and reported: "Master Guo, the northwest has sent 800 li to expedite. The Liao soldiers attacked the spirit yesterday. The state, Lingzhou is lost, the emperor announced that you will enter the palace immediately!"

Guo Boyan immediately stuffed his youngest son with his wife, stood up, snatched the horse that had reported to the guard, and left.
