National Beauty

Chapter 7 007

After Guo Boyan left, he sent a guard named Dou Yi, who was calm and steady, and was responsible for protecting Lin’s mother and daughter from going to Beijing.

Lin didn’t tell her daughter to let Dou Yi change clothes and pretend to be his family for the time being. She understood what Guo Boyan meant, but last night Lin asked to be the wife of Guo Gong, in fact, there were two purposes. She sincerely hoped that Guo Boyan was annoyed by her wishful thinking, and became annoyed with her and stopped pestering their mother and daughter, but obviously, Guo Boyan coveted her more than the reason of a country’s grandfather.

The first road has been blocked. Now, Lin’s hope of getting rid of Guo Boyan is pinned on Mrs. Weiguo. Not to mention the dignified father-in-law, he is just an ordinary little sesame official. How many will marry a widow as his heir? Guo Boyan was dazzled by desire, and Mrs. Tai will definitely try to dispel Guo Boyan’s thoughts. Then she will be moved with love and reason, and may be able to persuade Guo Boyan to let her go.

With this idea, Lin certainly wouldn’t reveal it to her daughter. In the end, she couldn’t hide it. Before remarrying, it would not be too late for her to tell her daughter.

“Mother, uncle is not happy, what should we do if we go back?”

This time, Song Jianing lay by the window on the waterway where the family walked north, while enjoying the scenery of the shore with little interest, while asking his mother listlessly. For two lifetimes, her last impression of her uncle was that her mother died of illness, and her uncle came to express condolences on that day. Uncle knelt at his mother’s tomb, crying very sadly, and said a lot of things he was sorry for his mother, and afterwards asked her if she wanted to go with him to the capital.

Song Jianing knew that his aunt didn’t like him, but at that time the second uncle and aunt tried their best to stay, but Song Jianing did not agree. Song Jianing thought that her uncle liked her at that time, but when she recognized the true face of her second uncle’s family and wrote to Beijing for help, her uncle didn’t even write a word by herself. It was all the handwriting of her aunt. In the following years, her uncle did not come. When Jiang Nan visited her niece, Song Jianing completely stopped relying on her uncle.

When Guo Xiao was a concubine for Guo Xiao, Guo Xiao once asked her if she wanted to know the current situation of her uncle’s family. Song Jianing shook her head and refused. They didn’t recognize her as a niece, so why should she ask? Whether her life is good or bad has nothing to do with her.

“No, we An An is well-behaved and sensible. Uncle likes you the most.” Lin called her daughter to his side and coaxed softly. She was telling the truth. The elder brother liked this niece very much and would send a bunch of gifts every year, but the elder brother had a shortcoming of fear. It just so happened that the sister-in-law didn’t want to see her, so the elder brother didn’t dare to treat them well.

Song Jianing pursed her mouth, thinking of her uncle and aunt who could hardly remember her appearance, and thinking of Guo Xiao and Princess Duanhui who lived in the capital, she was worried that she wouldn’t even have a good meal.

After drifting on the river for more than a month, at the end of April, the passenger ship finally arrived at Tongzhou Wharf.

The sun was poisonous outside. Lin put on the drapery hat and helped his daughter to put on too. The two of them got off the boat holding hands.

“Sister!” someone shouted, a surprised woman’s voice.

Lin raised his head unexpectedly when he heard the words, and saw his brother-in-law in the distance walking quickly toward this side. The elder brother smiled sincerely, Lin is not surprised, but why is his sister-in-law Liu smiling so close? When we met before, Liu’s family was not even willing to give her a good face, and wished she didn’t have her sister-in-law.

“Sister, you can count it. Your elder brother and I have been looking forward to it since we received your letter, and we have been looking forward to it for a month.” When we came to the front, the Liu clan said excitedly, looking at the Lin clan, she praised. After finishing complimenting Song Jianing’s little head, she continued to praise Song Jianing: “The longer Jianing, the better it looks. If she is thinner, she will definitely be more beautiful than your mother.”

Song Jianing stared at the strange woman blankly, so enthusiastic, was she still the aunt in her memory?

The mother and daughter didn’t react. Next to Lin Zhengdao, looking at the beautiful and beautiful sister on the opposite side, the joy of reuniting after a long time was gradually overwhelmed by worry. At the end of March, he arrived at Lin’s house at the same time as his sister’s letter, and there was also a young man next to Wei Guogong. The young man said that he had a fancy to his sister and told them to take good care of their husband and wife. No negligence is allowed. They were told to be strict with their mouths and not to pass a word out before the grandfather of the country returned to Beijing.

The younger sister and Wei Guogong are unclear. Lin Zhengdao is extremely worried, but his wife Liu is very happy. He sees her younger sister as her way of making friends with powerful and powerful people, so she changed her disgusting sister’s face and followed bluntly. He came to the dock to pick up people.

His wife is snobbish, and sees the wind at the rudder. Lin Zhengdao doesn’t like this, but he was very fond of his beautiful and intelligent wife, and he married back happily. Now his children are all grown up. He can only turn a blind eye on some things. Only eye. Before my sister lived in Jiangnan, the two aunts couldn’t see each other a few times a year. Now the wife is eager to treat her sister. He is happy to see it happen. The only thing he can’t let go of is the relationship between the sister and Wei Guogong.

Leaving the pier, Lin Zhengdao rode a horse, and Lin’s aunts took Song Jianing into the carriage.

The Liu family is indeed snobbish, but most of the time she is measured. Both Lin and Liu are wealthy businessmen in the capital. In terms of their status, they are evenly matched. I think she and Lin were also two famous flowers in the business circle of Beijing, but Lin was good at poetry and poetry, and was hailed as a noble orchid. Liu Shizhi was nicknamed a tigress in the business abacus. The so-called one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, the Liu family was still the one who was mocked and joked. Naturally, she felt that the Lin family, who was held up as a fairy, was not pleasing to her eyes, and it was inevitable that there would be bumps when getting along with each other.

But Liu’s heart is not bad. After Lin’s widowhood, she also persuaded her husband to take her sister-in-law back. However, her sister-in-law stayed in Song’s house with all her heart, so she couldn’t say much. Say what? The widow is bitter at home, but she has a good reputation. She persuades too much as a sister-in-law, and people in the neighborhood will definitely tell her that she is deliberately cheating her sister-in-law, making it inhumane.

Now the sister-in-law has returned by herself, and has climbed to the top dignitaries in the capital, Wei Guogong. Under the surprise of Liu’s, even the little bit of grudge before marrying was forgotten, and he just wanted to ask the sister-in-law quickly. But there are some things that cannot be asked in front of the child. On the way back to Beijing, the Liu family only inquired about the situation of the mother and daughter in Song’s house.

Lin explained calmly, you ask one sentence and I answer one sentence, the aunt-in-law’s conversation is pretty good.

Song Jianing sat next to her mother and looked at her aunt secretly. When she saw her aunt’s eyes were bright, her expression was quite sincere when she comforted her mother. She became more and more confused, feeling like she was using her aunt as a hedgehog. But it became a ray of spring breeze, treating their wives thoughtfully and enthusiastically, enthusiastically making people confused.

“What did Jianing peek at his aunt? Just say it if you think about it.” He noticed his niece’s peeping twice, timidly like a timid rabbit. Liu was pleased, and affectionately pulled his niece to his side. Sitting, holding Song Jianing and touching his head, he said with joy: “Our Jianing face is blessed at first glance. If you want me to say, the girl’s house is still fat and good-looking, and she is distressed when she looks thin.”

Song Jianing’s big eyes turned around, and finally noticed the plump cheeks of his aunt’s full moon, with a bright red look, and she was indeed a beauty with a different charm from her mother.

There was such an aunt. When the carriage arrived at Lin’s house, when Song Jianing saw a chubby cousin and a cousin who was fatter than her, she was only a little surprised, and soon accepted that the cousin and cousin were all small and fat. reality.

Cousin Lin Wanshan, fourteen years old this year, is fat to fat, but he is very fat, and when he calls his cousin, he narrows his eyes with a smile and is amiable. The cousin Lin Xiuxiu is twelve this year. She is half a head taller than Song Jianing. She is also a bit fatter. She has an oval face and phoenix eyes. Gu Pan reveals a bit of awe-inspiring aura, just like the Liu family.

“Auntie, the boat ride is very hard, right? You look thin.” Naturally, she pulled her little cousin to her side and stood with her shoulders on her shoulders. Lin Xiuxiu cared for her aunt affectionately.

Lin’s and Liu’s didn’t get along well, but she really liked the pair of children under her brother’s knees, and smiled: “Fortunately, it’s okay, Xiuxiu grows so fast, and she has become a big girl.”

Lin Xiuxiu smiled generously.

Liu clan said: “You two take Jianing to stroll around the garden. You are not allowed to bully Jianing.”

“Our sister just met, what am I doing to bully her? Niangjing is so worried.” Lin Xiuxiu snorted, and before her mother scolded her, she took Song Jianing’s little hand and walked away. Song Jianing was dizzy, and instinctively turned around to find his mother. Lin misunderstood her daughter’s admission, and laughed and coaxed: “Go, uncle’s garden is big.”

Song Jianing had to obediently cultivate relationships with his cousin and cousin.

Lin’s brother and sister-in-law invited them to the upper room and arranged for their confidants to guard outside, and they began to discuss business matters.

Lin Zhengdao is his own brother, but he is not suitable for this kind of thing to take the initiative, so Liu clan asked Lin in a low voice: “You and Wei Guogong…”

Lin suddenly felt bright, no wonder his sister-in-law changed her attitude, it turned out that Guo Boyan had said hello.

Everyone has his own temperament. Lin doesn’t like his sister-in-law’s aggressiveness towards her elder brother, but she also admires her sister-in-law’s ability as a housekeeper. Now she takes her daughter back to Beijing, and her brother-in-law is her backer. After explaining clearly, she explained the circumstances of her encounter with Guo Boyan, including Guo Boyan’s bullying, including her request that the Ming media is getting married, and only concealed her thoughts about not wanting to marry Guo Boyan.

Liu took a deep breath and looked at his fragile sister-in-law like a stranger.

Lin Zhengdao felt sorry for his sister, and sighed, “I blame my brother for not being able to protect you.”

Lin does not blame his elder brother at all, a merchant with a small family wealth, even if he has some contacts in the officialdom, how can he fight Wei Guogong?

Liu looked at their brothers and sisters, and after a while, he said: “Now that those are useless, it’s not that I want to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, but the grandfather of the country has spent so much effort and said hello to us. Obviously, he is bound to win the younger sister. Let me say, since it can’t be changed, I can marry it with peace of mind. The grandfather of the country is willing to marry his younger sister as a heir. This shows that he has moved a little bit sincerely with his sister. After getting along for a long time, it may not be a good marriage.”

Lin Zhengdao was not so optimistic: “Duke Guo is willing, and Mrs. Tai can agree? I am afraid that the Duke will not be able to persuade Mrs. Tai, and he will not be able to leave his sister and force her to be a concubine.”

Liu thought to himself that a widow would not be a disadvantage if she could be a concubine for the grandfather of the country, but she didn’t say that. Seeing her husband’s sad face and her sister-in-law, Liu’s eyebrows were sorrowful, and Liu’s witty relief said: “It’s nothing, wait for the grandfather of the country to return to Beijing, let him go and deal with his old wife, let’s just act accordingly. Sister, don’t think too much, first. Stay in peace and take care of your bones, see if you are thin…”

Lin nodded, got up and bowed sincerely to Liu’s: “I’m causing trouble to my sister-in-law.”

Liu’s hurriedly stepped forward to help, and glanced at the appearance and figure of my sister-in-law’s fairy-like figure, but he could understand the thoughts of Wei Guogong.

Such a pretty widow, married and loved every night in the name of the royal family, who would dare to say that Guo Boyan was a loss?

Settling in, my sister-in-law and niece, the Liu family specially sent people to pay attention to the news of the Guardian Palace. Starting from April, I have been looking forward to the end of August. Finally, I am looking forward to Guo Boyan’s return to Beijing!
