Guo Boyan and Lin's wedding date is set for the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month. Although it is a bit rushed, three months are enough to prepare.
The second lady is currently in charge of the inner house. The second lady is from a famous family, she is virtuous, generous, and fair. She has managed the house in an orderly manner for ten years. Bow your head and listen to your ears, and never dare to violate yin and yang. After being at ease for so long, when it comes to the re-marriage of the grandfather's uncle, the second lady had a hard time, hesitating for a while, and led the maid to Mrs. Tai's Changxin residence.
The autumn is high and the air is fresh, and the chrysanthemums are blooming colorfully. Mrs. Tai is standing in the flower hall to enjoy the chrysanthemum. There is a brightly colored lark hanging on the mahogany bird stand, chirping and chirping, very nice. Seeing her daughter-in-law coming, Mrs. Tai waved her hand with a smile and asked her to enjoy the flowers together.
The second lady came over with a smile and supported her mother-in-law's arm, while the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law concentrated on enjoying the flowers. After enjoying the two rows of new chrysanthemums in the house, Mrs. Tai slowly turned around and walked towards the carved Arhat bed covered with brocade cushions, and asked her daughter-in-law calmly, "Seeing me early in the morning, did something happen? ?"
"I have something I want to ask my mother." The second lady helped her mother-in-law to sit down, she sat crookedly on the other side of the low table, leaned over and said, "Eldest brother's marriage, I turned over the old gift list in our mansion. To marry my sister-in-law, we have given one hundred and twenty-eight betrothal gifts, this time, are we still following the old rules?"
Mrs. Tai lowered her eyes in thought. As early as the previous dynasty, the Guo family was a famous family. Later, from Long Gonggong, he was awarded the title of duke of the country, and his prestige increased to a higher level. The three daughters-in-law are all well-matched family ladies, the eldest daughter-in-law is the wife of the first son, and the dowry was given 128 ti, and the latter two daughters-in-law both lost 8 ti. Now that Mrs. Lin entered the door, although she was also the wife of the country's father, a widow with a baby was born in a businessman, not to mention one hundred and twenty-eight, or even one hundred and twenty, the Tan family and their two daughters-in-law would feel aggrieved.
Turning the Buddha beads on her wrist, Mrs. Tai said leisurely: "It stands to reason that a widow's remarriage should be simple, but Lin's mistakenly rescued your eldest brother once. It's too simple for us to avoid it. Let's do it. The gift money remains the same, the betrothal gift is halved, and it will be carried by the sixty-four, and the cages will be filled to the brim."
The second lady nodded, and the first time an ordinary official married a daughter-in-law, he only offered a betrothal gift at sixty-four. For a business widow, it was already very beautiful.
After the dowry was settled, the second lady asked again, "Then when will we arrange for Jia Ning to enter the manor?" It was definitely not possible on the day of the big wedding. They were busy watching the ceremony and had no time to take care of a little girl.
Mrs. Tai said directly: "I will pick it up on the day I go back."
Lin was attracted to her son and tried every means to get married. She didn't want her son to be embarrassed and agreed, but she had to take a closer look at how Lin's character was. If Lin was truly worthy of the name of the lady of the country, she would Considering to officially record the daughter of the Song family on the family tree of the Guo family, Ruo Lin's mud can't support the wall...
Mrs. Tai rubbed her forehead, too lazy to bother.
When the second lady saw it, she quickly picked a few happy things and said that when the lady was in a better mood, she euphemistically said: "Mother, do you want to tell the grandfather of this?"
Mrs. Tai nodded.
Guo Boyan came back from outside in the evening and learned that his mother was looking for him, but he didn't change his clothes, so he went to Changxinju first.
Mrs. Tai told the truth about her arrangements, and casually observed her son's expression when she spoke.
Guo Boyan tapped his index finger on the table, buckled it three times, and said, "Mother, Lin is weak, but she has a strong temperament in her bones. If it wasn't for her daughter, she wouldn't marry me. She asked me to get married, and the intention is that Jia Ning will be with us in the future. The family has been wronged, she can justifiably support her daughter, and she doesn't care how much the bride price is, but the genealogy..."
Lin's identity is there, and the dowry should not be ostentatious, otherwise it will harm her.
Mrs. Tai frowned and said, "Do you want to record the child on the family tree as soon as she enters the door?"
Guo Boyan said: "Yes. Since my son has married her, he wants the husband and wife to be together and live in harmony. There is no need to block her because of a little girl. Besides, Jia Ning is well-behaved and sensible, and his son does not want her to be wronged. In this way, Jia Ning will be treated first on the day of makeup. Ning will take it over, stay here for two nights, wait for the bride to finish serving tea, and let Jia Ning recognize her relatives while everyone is there."
Mrs. Tai took a sip of tea, and a little girl with almond eyes and peach cheeks appeared in her mind. She had a chubby face. When she entered the room, she kept her head down obediently. She didn't look anywhere. She knew the rules very well. It was the child's young age, and there was a glamorous look at the corners of his eyes and brows. As the saying goes, Taoism is born from the heart, if the Lin family is as dignified as she looks on the surface, how can she raise her daughter to be charming
But the son's words also make sense. Everyone is married, and it is the most important thing to be able to live together. As a mother, she must beware of Lin's tricks, and she must first give Lin a reassurance, lest Lin's daughter be born because of her daughter. blame.
"Okay, just do as you say."
On the second day, the matchmaker relayed the meaning of the government to the Lin family.
The Lin family really didn't care about the amount of the betrothal gift, but the Guo family was actually willing to let their daughter be listed on the Guo family's genealogy and let her be the fourth daughter of the Duke's government.
The Liu family sincerely persuaded: "The grandfather of the country has been sincere enough to treat you. Since my sister has promised to marry, she will follow the grandfather wholeheartedly in the future. In fact, it has nothing to do with the genealogy. You have made the grandfather happy. , He loves Wu Jiwu and will naturally support Jia Ning, otherwise you will make the prince angry every three days, even if Jia Ning is on the genealogy, everyone in the Guo family will not treat Jia Ning kindly when they see the wind, right?"
Lin Shi understood, bowed his head and said, "I have my senses."
The husband is dead, and now the daughter is the most important thing. If she wants her daughter to live well, she must be a gentle and virtuous wife with Guo Boyan.

The day before the big wedding, the man will send someone to greet the bride and carry the bride's dowry to her husband's house.
When the first rooster crowing came from outside the window, it was still dark, but Lin immediately woke up and turned to see that the daughter next to her was soundly asleep. The daughter didn't sleep well, one arm stretched out, Lin turned sideways, and gently tucked her daughter's small arm back into the bed. Lin slept lightly, because she was about to move to the Duke's Mansion, and Song Jianing had not slept well these past few nights. When her mother moved, she also woke up and called out vaguely, "Mother..."
Lin Shi smiled and asked softly, "Wake up so early?" Today is the first time her daughter has left her side, so she must be nervous, right
Lifting the quilt, Mrs Lin got into her daughter's bed, hugged her daughter's warm body, and patted her while saying, "Don't be afraid, when you get there, you can do whatever they ask you to do, you are obedient, Mrs. I will definitely like you, and I will see my mother again in the morning the day after tomorrow."
"Mother, do you like Grandpa Guo?" Song Jianing asked in a low voice, buried in her mother's arms. When her mother agreed to propose marriage, Song Jianing thought her mother fell in love with the tall and mighty Guo Boyan, but after observing for the past three months, Song Jianing always felt that her mother was not happy. She was still smiling at her a moment ago. It will disappear, as if the previous smiles were all pretended to be for her to see.
"I like it, my mother is still willing to marry me. My mother is very satisfied." Lin rubbed her daughter's soft hair and said softly, "When we get there, An An will also honor the father as a father. ,do you know?"
Song Jianing imagined the stern faces of Guo Boyan and Guo Xiao, and always found it hard to say.
The two mothers cuddled with each other, and Lin told her daughter a lot. At dawn, she took care of her daughter's washing and dressing with her own hands. When they got to the dinner table, seeing her daughter's charming appearance, who would not be affected no matter what happened, Lin shook his head and said with a smile, "Before you go, the maids will eat as much An'an as they give you, and go back to the room when you are hungry. When eating pastries, don't let others see that you are not full."
She was afraid that her daughter would eat too much.
Song Jianing nodded obediently.
The auspicious time has come, and the people who welcome the makeup from the government's palace are here, and Lin's face is not easy to show. Liu's holding his niece's little fat hand, sent them all the way to the carriage, and before the curtain was lowered, he repeatedly asked his niece to be obedient. Song Jianing agreed absentmindedly, looking at his uncle's house with big eyes reluctantly. Her uncle and aunt have been very kind to her in this life. She is carefree at her uncle's house. If she can, she really doesn't want to leave.
"Jianing, don't worry, I'll see your mother later." Quan Furen said lovingly, and liked this pretty and charming little girl very much.
Song Jianing spent most of her last life in the back house. Before she got married, she was locked in the courtyard by her second uncle's family. Lord, in order to develop the temperament of recognizing life, there is no growth in this life.
Facing the comfort of Quan Furen, Song Jianing just hummed, lowered his head crampedly, and clenched his fingers silently.
The carriage walked for about three quarters of an hour, and finally stopped, the maid raised the curtain, Song Jianing glanced outside, it was the main entrance of the Duke's Mansion.
Song Jianing was very nervous and was panicking when a tall and majestic figure suddenly turned around outside the car. Seeing her, the man smiled slightly: "Jianing is here?"
Sword eyebrows and star eyes, outstanding, it is Guo Boyan.
Song Jianing was stunned. He didn't expect that his prospective stepfather would come to pick her up. He was stunned. Seeing the man reaching out to her, Song Jianing unconsciously put his little hand on it. Guo Boyan held the little fat hand, and with a little force, he pulled the new daughter out, picked it up gently, and put it on the ground.
"Excuse me." Song Jianing blushed inexplicably and thanked him like a mosquito.
Her voice was low, and Guo Boyan didn't hear it. He patted his daughter's head, supported her shoulders and turned forward, and said loudly, "That's your eldest brother."
Song Jianing felt a sudden shock. He knew the etiquette, but he didn't dare to look over there, and a strange conversation sounded in his ears.
That was in a previous life, when Guo Xiao asked her for the first time, she was uncomfortable, her body was swollen, her heart was sour and bitter, she cried and asked him in a daze: "The prince has a noble status, what kind of beauty does not have, why do you want to rob me over here? ?"
How did Guo Xiao answer
He pressed her tightly and looked into her eyes coldly: "because your eyes tell me that you want to be slept with by me."
Song Jianing died of grievances. He was obviously lustful, but he had to rely on her instead. Well, she should not look at him in the eyes of her in this life.
