National Beauty

Song Jianing followed two princes and a princess to the palace and waited in the living room.

Guo Xiao did not go in to wait. One person stood in the courtyard, standing tall and upright like a Zhilan Yushu. The two sides met each other. He walked more than a dozen steps, and finally stopped in front of the King of Chu, bowing and saluting: "Guo Xiao has seen the prince and the princess. , I have seen His Royal Highness Shou Wang. "Neither humble nor overbearing, respectful and polite.

The king of Chu smiled and said, "The elder son is free, come to pick up the four girls?"

Guo Xiao stood up straight, looked at the younger sister who was on the side of Princess Chu, and smiled lightly: "My father has just returned to Beijing, and he is now in the palace. He may return to the house at any time. My mother asked me to pick up my sister. It's impolite. Please forgive me, the princess."

Song Jianing heard this and repeated in surprise: "Father is back?"

Guo Boyan’s stepfather treated her very well, as if he had already been out. The Guo family’s father and son went out for a year. Song Jianing did not think of Guo Xiao, but still missed the stepfather. The main reason was that the mother’s thoughts were almost all written on his face. The stepfather came back earlier and the mother too Will have a good time.

Guo Xiao nodded at her.

Song Jianing felt like an arrow at home, and looked at Feng Zheng not ashamed. He had agreed to eat here before leaving.

Feng Zheng could understand Song Jianing’s current feelings when the family of Weiguo Palace was reunited. He smiled and said, “Master Guo is working for the country, and he finally triumphed today. Sister Jianing, please go back and talk to me again someday.”

Song Jianing hummed, and winked at Guo Xiao, and the brothers and sisters stood together and said goodbye to the two kings and one concubine at the same time.

There is a difference between inferiority and inferiority. Although Feng Zheng wanted to give it away, she now represented the dignity of the King of Chu, so she had to order a big maid to send it away. The two brothers and sisters walked out side by side. The man was tall and tall, and the girl was petite and exquisite. Zhao Heng watched silently, the brilliant spring light fell on his face, and he squinted slightly.

At the front entrance of the palace, Song Jianing walked out briskly. The coachman had already set up the wooden stool. Song Jianing looked at the wooden stool, but Guo Xiao was the only figure left behind. Song Jianing pursed her lower lip, and suddenly remembered something, slowed down, turned and asked the pair who were a few steps behind: "Has the princess sent someone to give you the recipe for peony cake?"

Shuang'er naturally walked to the master, shook his head and said: "The princess should be given to the girl after she is ready to go away..."

Song Jianing suddenly realized that she continued to move forward, and Shuang'er subconsciously followed up, holding on to her girl's soft little hand. The moment she held that hand, Shuang'er had an inexplicable feeling of being stared at. She turned her head blankly, but saw Shizi walking towards the tall horse next to her. The twins blinked, and after a while they forgot the strangeness just now.

Song Jianing got into the carriage and listened to the low voice of Guo Xiao instructing the coachman to set off. She looked at her hand and let out a sigh of relief. Both of them are old, and Guo Xiao is an ardent person. Even though he only regards her as his sister now, Song Jianing still made up his mind to be careful and careful, trying to prevent any physical contact with Guo Xiao.

The wheels rolled, and quickly stopped in front of the Weiguo Palace. As soon as the carriage stopped steadily, Song Jianing immediately poked his head out, and when they saw each other, they hurried to prepare. On the horse back a few steps behind, Guo Xiao frowned imperceptibly as he looked at the conscientious pair, then rolled over and dismounted. When Song Jianing stood firm, Guo Xiao deliberately slowed down and walked side by side with her. As he walked in, he asked casually: "Why the princess invited you and the prince at the same time?"

Song Jianing honestly denied: "No, I went to the palace first. Later, when His Royal Highness Shou Wang learned that the princess had a lack of appetite, he sent a plate of cherries."

A sneer appeared at the corner of Guo Xiao's mouth, his sister-in-law couldn't eat anything, what kind of hospitality did the uncle offer? Don't send it early, don't send it late, but choose to send it when the step-sister goes, so it's obviously not intentional. Guo Xiao wanted to remind her step-sister very much, but remembered the last time her step-sister had been sulking with him for a long time because of his suspicion of King Shou, she didn't even look at him when they met, so Guo Xiao cautiously controlled her mouth.

"The cherries are already ripe?" Guo Xiao picked a topic that his stepsister liked.

Song Jianing couldn't help but laughed, looking at the lady and the others who had gathered in the front hall early to wait for the stepfather's return. She didn't think deeply about it and said, "It should be, maybe I don't know much."

Guo Xiao hummed, looked ahead, and said in a low voice: "Okay, I ask people to pay attention to the market. I bought two baskets of cherries as soon as they came out. Ting Fang also likes to eat them."

He bought it for a family, and Song Jianing just smiled without saying any thanks.

While talking, the siblings had already walked to the front of the hall, Guo Xiao sat on the side of the twins, and Song Jianing walked around behind his mother and chatted with the female relatives. In the palace, Emperor Xuande arranged for Guo Boyan and other meritorious generals to pick up the dust in the evening, and told them to go back to their homes at noon. Guo Boyan wore the armor of the coach and walked towards the palace. After leaving the palace gate and stepping on the steed, Guo Boyan galloped all the way, and in the blink of an eye, he had already arrived at his door, and he slammed the reins, and the steed raised its front hoofs, making a neigh that was forced to stop.

Everyone in the hall was shocked, and after being shocked, there was joy.

The twins and Brother Shang ran out first, followed by Song Jianing and Guo Sanfang. Mrs. Tai missed her son no less than the children, but she was an old lady who couldn't run or could not run, she just walked slowly with a smile. Lin and the second wife are standing on both sides to support their mother-in-law. The third wife and Guo Xiao walked on the outermost side. Guo Xiao held Lin's brother Mao'er who stretched his neck out in a hurry.

In the courtyard, Guo Boyan has been surrounded by his daughters, nephews and nieces. It's all from the Guo family. The girls are blooming and beautiful every year. The nephews have grown taller and stronger. The little nephew, Shang's appearance, has changed the most. Guo Boyan is in a good mood, holding the youngest Shang and touching his head. , Turned around and saw the second wave of relatives.

Guo Boyan's gaze suddenly fell on Lin's body.

The newlyweds have not seen each other in a year, and they are people who have already put them in their hearts. Upon receiving the news that Guo Boyan is about to return to the house, Lin was irritated and relieved. Standing in front of the closet, he was worried. He usually felt that there were too many clothes to wear every season. Endless, but now I don't think I have too few clothes, there is nothing to my heart. Choosing to choose, and worrying about being teased by her mother-in-law, Lin chose only a water-green twill with a plain white dress. Even the second wife and the third wife wore more festive than her.

But it was so colorful, Guo Boyan only saw her watery green, elegant and refined like a fairy grass, just like when he first met in the south of the Yangtze River, and like the fairy in his dream, he asked him to worry about it, thinking about it hundreds of times every night. Fortunately, he was already forty years old, and he was no longer as stunned as his son. Guo Boyan returned to his senses in time, put down Brother Shang and rushed to Madam Tai, and knelt down.

The man who stands upright kneels only to the emperor of heaven and earth, and only his parents and parents.

Lin and the two concubines quickly avoided to the sides. Mrs. Tai was quite calm just now. Seeing her son kneeling again every time he returned from a long distance, tears welled up on her own, and her eldest son was lifted with blurred vision. , Trembling slightly: "I'm back, a few days later, Mao'er will soon marry a wife."

Song Jianing and other juniors all laughed.

Guo Boyan then thought of his youngest son. He turned his head and saw that Brother Mao, leaning on his eldest son's arms, was looking at him ignorantly. His big eyes were his seed. Guo Boyan smiled, no matter whether his son agreed or not, he stepped forward and snatched the boy over and gave him a bitter kiss. Brother Mao, who was so stiff with stubble and tender flesh, was in pain!

Guo Boyan is majestic and mighty. The armor is also unfamiliar to Brother Mao. He was scared at first, but now he was pierced again. Brother Mao looked at his mother next to him, curled his lips, cried with a wow, and stretched out his hand to his mother aggrieved. . The mother and the son were connected, and Lin's eyes, which had been clinging to her husband in secret, finally moved to her son. He came over without thinking, and wanted to take the crying son into his arms.

It's just that she has embraced Brother Mao, but his son and his father refused to let go. Lin looked up questioningly, and Guo Boyan looked down at her, the depressive heat in his eyes almost burning her to fly ashes. With just a look, Lin's body became soft, and he didn't have the strength to hold his son. He blushed and was about to step back.

Mrs. Tai looked funny in her eyes, but she still coughed and coaxed Brother Mao: "This is Daddy, Brother Mao will soon be called Daddy."

Brother Mao didn't call, he still looked for his mother.

Then Lin persuaded softly: "Master Guo, give it to me."

I have already molested him once, this time Guo Boyan honestly let go, but he still chased his wife with fiery eyes. Lin was embarrassed and deliberately stayed away and entered the hall. When Guo Boyan was talking with Mrs. Mao, she kept her head down to coax Brother Mao. The familiar sight of Ruhuo swept her from time to time, causing her to be flustered.

After talking for half an hour, when Mrs. Tai hadn’t said enough with his son, Guo Boyan pulled the heavy armor on his body uncomfortably, and said to his mother with a wry smile: "Mother, this body is tired, so the son first I'll take you back, and wait until I change my clothes to accompany you."

Mrs. Tai cursed the old **** in her heart! Obviously I wanted to hold my wife into the account earlier, but fooled her with this!

But Mrs. Tai nodded in cooperation with her son, and said thoughtfully and honestly: "Forget it, seeing you sweating profusely, first go take a breath and let Pingzhang send me off."

Guo Boyan was thinking about his sleeping daughter-in-law, but he couldn't bear it for a moment and a half, so he personally helped his mother and Lin took the children with him to send it off. After coming out of Changxinyuan, the three rooms left separately. On the side of Dafang, Guo Boyan walked side by side with Mr. Lin, who had already known his father Mao'er. Ting Fang stayed with Mrs. Guo Xiao and Song Jianing behind.

Song Jianing felt the invisible **** between his parents, and Guo Xiao felt the invisible **** for a woman who had memories of past lives, and who had never touched a woman in this life. Song Jianing just didn't know, and turned to look at the flowers and trees beside the road. Guo Xiao looked at the slender back of his stepmother several times for the first time, and then secretly observed the stepsister walking beside him, Guo Xiao was unconsciously lost.

If he was the first to meet the stepsisters and his wife in this life, he would definitely take them to Beijing like his father did, but he would ask them to live in the Lin family. When the stepsisters grow up, he will...

With the thoughts, Guo Xiao suddenly came to his senses as he was struck by lightning, sweating behind his back.

What is he thinking about? That's the stepsister, how could he come up with that idea?

However, watching the father who was quietly approaching the stepmother in front of him, watching the stepmother hide away shyly, the fire in Guo Xiao's chest burned uncontrollably.

He also wanted to have a beautiful and weak woman like a stepmother, and there was one beside him.
