National Beauty

Chapter 10 010

In the side hall of the Guogong Mansion, Lin sits stiffly on a chair, puts his ten-year-old daughter in his arms, and touches her pale face. Lin whispered: “An’an, don’t be afraid, if you see someone in a while, you will follow. Mother salutes, unless someone asks, you don’t have to say anything, just stay with your mother.”

Song Jianing nodded unwillingly, resting his head on his mother’s shoulders, and glanced at the majestic and majestic furnishings around him. In the seven years of Sheng Chong, Guo Xiao never mentioned taking her back to the mansion. Song Jianing didn’t care, but Mother Li was afraid that she would be sad, so she said that Guo Gong Mansion has many rules. It is better to live in Zhuangzi with Xiaoyao and Guo Xiao. I don’t want her to be wronged.

Song Jianing didn’t believe it. There were three guesses in his heart. One is that the female family of the Guogong Mansion does not like her concubine that Guo Xiao snatched from her, and the other is that Guo Xiao feels that she is not worthy of entering the Guogong Mansion, which symbolizes power and sacred favor. The last one is that Guo Xiao doesn’t want his princess cousin to be sad. Princess Duanhui will probably feel better if his concubine is raised outside.

But now, she was actually “invited” by Guo Xiao’s father.

As if she was dreaming, she just persuaded her mother to take good care of her body. A few words actually caused such a big change?

She had something on her mind, Lin unconsciously rubbed her daughter’s back, staring at the ground in a trance. By now, she has no retreat. Since there is no retreat, she has to make preparations for her future life in the government office. The aunt has no status, and being the lady of the country does not mean that she can sit back and relax. What will the maidservants in the house think of her, and will the maids behave badly?

“Madam, girl, our wife invites you over.”

Song Jianing heard the words and squeezed his mother’s hand nervously. Mrs. Tai must be by the side of the grandfather of the country now. If there is an accident with his father, can Guo Xiao not do his filial piety? To be honest, Guo Xiao really loves her enough. Anything delicious and fun will be sent to Zhuangzi. He will accompany her to go out and play with her after his errands, but Guo Xiao’s love is even more manifested in the fact that he is in bed. The enthusiasm for the matter of Li, then, in the previous life Guo Xiao could fancy her body, and did not care about relatives to get her from Liang Shao, who can guarantee that he will not play tricks in this life?

The meat is still that piece of meat, neither thin nor ugly, and the wolf is still that wolf. The only change is that everyone is several years younger than when they first met…

With a move in her heart, Song Jianing lowered her head and looked at her flat skirt, she suddenly became less afraid. The ten-year-old herself is just a little girl who hasn’t grown up. No matter how lustful Guo Xiao is, she can’t have that kind of thought at this time, right? As far as Song Jianing knows, Guo Xiao has no habit of playing with children.

Thinking of this, Song Jianing finally dared to lift his head and walk.

The maid led the way, and the wife turned around along the corridor and soon arrived at Zhenghetang. Song Jianing quickly looked around for a week, and there was no Guo Xiao in the courtyard. When he arrived at the door, he quickly looked inside. Only Guo Boyan and a kind-eyed and good-looking woman in Chinese clothes in her 50s were naturally the wife.

“The ladies have seen the wife, and the grandpa of the country.” Standing in front of the hall, Lin let go of her daughter’s hand, and respectfully gave the wife a blessing that could not fault her. Song Jianing next to him has everything to learn, but Lin’s figure is slender and exquisite, like a green lotus, Song Jianing is short and has round cheeks, and all his gestures reveal a bit of childishness.

Guo Boyan’s gaze swept over his favorite woman and cute prospective daughter one after another, and then slowly turned to his mother.

The wife took a deep look at Lin, and then squinted at her son. Then she politely said: “The grandfather of the country was attacked on the road and ran into your mother and daughter in a hurry. This is a little bit of my heart. Go back and buy some delicious food. , To shock the child.”

Own maid sent a bulging purse.

Lin did not look at his purse, stepped back two steps, bowed his head down and declined: “The grandfather of the country is a court hero. It is an honor for the ladies to help. The wife is kindly rewarded, but the ladies are ashamed. This is a million dollars. Can’t accept it.”

Mrs. Tai smiled and said, “That’s what I said, but you have helped us a lot, so why do we have to thank you.”

Lin raised his head, glanced at Mrs. Tai, and said with a little embarrassment: “Mrs. Tai really wants to thank her. The women begged Mrs. Tai to talk to the steward of the house. I should bother him to return the carriage to our house. Such a big event happened today. I want to go home early so that my family won’t worry about it.”

The solemn hall suddenly heard a pleasant chuckle.

Lin’s lips pressed.

Mrs. Tai stared at her son, Guo Boyan didn’t care, touched his chin with his intact right hand, and stared at Lin unabashedly.

Mrs. Tai was irritable, and since Lin was about to leave, she asked the maid to send the wife out.

“Mother, look at this fairy, not only does she look good, she is also quite talkative, which suits my appetite.”

Only their mother and son were left in the hall, and the wife angrily rebuked: “Making a fool, you have become a mother without seeing others? Is it possible that you want to rob civilian women?”

Guo Boyan leaned back in his chair and looked frivolously at the door: “Since Huiyuan said she can prosper me, I will fix her. Don’t worry, mother, I will send someone to persuade her husband, and wait for them to leave me. .”

Madam Tai frowned. Just now Lin came in and found that Lin really looked like Tiangong Xianshu, which is the most beautiful she has seen in her life. Mrs. Tai immediately suspected her son’s remarks were nonsense, but she also understood her own son, if there was no special reason. , The son is by no means a man who beats a mandarin duck for lust.

It seems that Master Huiyuan really took care of his son? But even if Lin is the destined marriage of his son, his son can’t bully others.

“No, you…”

Mrs. Tai wanted to reason with her son, but Guo Boyan suddenly got up and said with a serious face: “Mother, the news should be in the palace, I have to face the holy to report this matter, and wait until I come back to discuss it.”

It is important to capture the assassin, the wife can only let her son go.

Guo Boyan walked into the imperial palace violently. As soon as he entered the Chongzheng Hall, he immediately knelt down to Emperor Xuande who had been waiting for a long time, and bowed his head and said: “Weichen is guilty, please punish the emperor.”

An assassin actually appeared at the feet of the emperor, and it was his right-hand man who murdered him. Emperor Xuande had already fired a fire at the commander of the guard. He heard that Guo Boyan had come, and he had compiled all his comforting words, but he did not expect Guo Boyan to come such a thing. Out. Leaving the dragon chair, Emperor Xuande walked up to Guo Boyan and asked in doubt: “What is your sin?”

Guo Boyan lowered his head and recruited all the reasons and consequences of his false claim that he was assassinated: “The emperor, if you don’t make this deed, Mrs. wife will never agree to marry a widow from a business man to be a royal court. The minister can’t help it. If he alarms the emperor, the minister is unforgivable. The emperor can punish him anyway. Just ask the emperor to keep the secret for the minister, don’t let Mrs.

Emperor Xuande looked at his confidant who was kneeling on the ground, did not speak for a long time, turned around for a long time, slowly sat back on the dragon chair, and said in a moody manner: “The Lin family is so beautiful, so my love is so complicated?”

Lin was curled up and sobbing desperately in his mind. Guo Boyan said half-truth and half-truth: “The beauty is beautiful, but what kind of beauty the minister has never seen? At first, the minister only wanted to accept her as a concubine. Who knew she would rather die? From then on, the minister could not do the overlord’s hard work, and was unwilling to be persuaded by her in a few words, so he had to agree to marry her as his wife.”

He didn’t dare to praise the Lin family too beautifully, what if he aroused the emperor’s interest? Men are lustful, and the emperor is no exception.

There were so many concubines in the Emperor Xuande’s imperial palace, and they were not so lustful that even the widows whom the confidants wanted to worry about, and said displeased: “For your merits in the southern tour, I will not pursue this this time, but I will not take it as an example. I will dare to fool around. You go to the barracks and you must not touch a woman for three years.”

Guo Boyan said loudly: “The minister would like to follow the emperor’s teachings.”

Emperor Xuande opened the memorial and said lightly: “You brought the assassins. You are restricted to arrest all the assassins before it gets dark.”

Guo Boyan smiled and took the order to leave. Emperor Xuande glanced at the back of his officials and shook his head helplessly. Guo Boyan has a high position, and many people want to become relatives with Guo Gongfu after losing their wives, and often fawn. Out of selfishness, Emperor Xuande hoped that Guo Boyan would marry a low-level continuation string, but he did not expect that the status of Guo Boyan’s successor would be so low.

An assassin appeared in the suburbs of the capital, and Guo Boyan personally led people to hunt down. An hour later, he arrested more than a dozen “martial arts assassins” back to the city and handed them to the Criminal Ministry for interrogation. The people clapped their hands and cheered, but they didn’t know that the assassins were prisoners in the prison of the Ministry of Justice, and they were just carried out by the imposing grandfather of the country.

As night fell, Guo Boyan returned to the official mansion.

Mrs. Tai has been waiting, watching her son gobble up two bowls of noodles, she calmly said: “I’ve asked, your fairy is a girl from the Lin family of Jinxiufang, and the queen married a Suzhou surnamed Song Juren. Song Juren died of illness. Lin stayed as a widow for four years. He returned to her family in April this year. Bo Yan, it’s not surprising that you said she returned to Beijing in April and has not been out once in the past few months. How so coincidental, you As soon as she came back, she went to Anguo Temple on the same day as you?”

At the end, Mrs. Tai’s eyes turned cold, and she stared at her son inquisitively.

For decades as his mother’s housekeeper, Guo Boyan had been prepared to be dismantled by his mother, and said with a smile: “Sure enough, I can’t hide anything from you.”

After laughing, Guo Boyan moved to his mother and knelt down and explained his relationship with Lin in a low voice: “…Mother, I know what you are thinking, but Lin really didn’t seduce me. It was me who forced her to obey. I, if she is a dragon-climbing phoenix, I won’t be able to stab myself to show you.”

The wife sneered: “If you want to welcome or refuse, how can you guys see through women’s methods?”

Guo Boyan doesn’t like to hear: “In my mother’s eyes, the son is the kind of faint person?”

The wife sullen her face and turned her head and said, “Whatever you say, I don’t agree.” It is a joke to let a widow be the mistress of the government office.

Guo Boyan sighed and said tiredly: “Mother, my son has been in love with Lin for so many years. You know my temper. As long as one hangs me there, I won’t look down on other vulgar fans. Mother really wants to My son will be alone for the rest of his life. Isn’t there a woman around him who asks for help?”

Mrs. Tai moved slightly.

Guo Boyan continued to work harder and continued: “Yes, the Lin family is low in status and is not worthy of our family, but mother, have you ever thought about it, I marry a widow as a wife, and my colleagues might joke secretly, how about the emperor? Xi Quanchen married each other. Five years ago, Li Wentang, the official secretary of the Ministry of War, and Liu Shuo, the official book of the Ministry of War, married their children. It didn’t take long for Liu Shuo to be transferred to Yongzhou as a Jiedu envoy by the emperor. Do you remember this?”

Mrs. Tai understood what her son meant, and said: “It is good to be an emperor and being cautious, but you don’t have to wrong yourself so much…”

“The son is not wronged at all.” Guo Boyan interrupted, and his black eyes looked at his mother sincerely: “Mother, I really like her. She didn’t show her face on the boat that day, and I felt so sad just listening to the voice…”

Mrs. Tai raised her eyebrows, and Guo Boyan obediently shut up.

The wife looked at her son’s left shoulder injury, and said sadly: “You are not afraid of turning into a laughing stock, and I don’t bother to care about you, but have you ever thought about Pingzhang? Pingzhang is young and impulsive, it is the age of good face, you find him a Widow and stepmother, he was angry outside, and when he comes back, he will sprinkle it on Lin? Who are you going to?”

Guo Boyan pondered for a moment, and said in a low voice: “Don’t worry, mother, I will explain clearly to Pingzhang.”
