Han Zhengchang is a heroic man admired by both Guo Boyan and Guo Xiao. He has a dignified appearance and a heroic spirit. He has been stationed in the frontier with his father all the year round. Now he has married a beautiful lady from the capital, and he naturally likes it. Han Zhengchang treated Tingfang very well, and on the day he returned to the door, he could see that Tingfang was supported by Han Zhengchang's maid like a maid.
The only regret is that after getting married for half a month, Tingfang had to go to the frontier with Han Zhengchang.
On the day the young couple left Beijing, Song Jianing and the other Guo family brothers and sisters went out of the city to say goodbye. Guo Xiao and the twins were okay, Song Jianing, Lan Fang, and Yun Fang were all crying with red eyes, hugging the most gentle sister Tingfang, reluctant to let go, and finally Guo Xiao pulled it away, and then Han Zhengchang supported Tingfang who was sobbing. car.
The carriage went farther and farther, Song Jianing stared blankly, tears falling again. Among all the people in the palace, the first lady she respects is Mrs. Tingfang, and the first one she likes is sister Tingfang. In her previous life, she was very fortunate and was alone. In this life, she has a mother and a good sister. Not a real sister is better than a real sister.
"Go back." Someone whispered in her ear and patted her shoulder lightly.
Song Jianing turned his head and saw Guo Xiao, he said words of comfort to her, his eyes still looking at the direction where Tingfang left. Yu Guangzhong Lanfang and Yunfang had already walked towards the carriage, Song Jianing nodded, wiped his eyes, and walked towards the carriage in despair. When she got to the car, she stepped on the wooden bench and was about to lift her skirt when someone suddenly grabbed her right hand. That palm was warm and too familiar.
Song Jianing's body suddenly stiffened a bit, but she knew that Guo Xiao was simply giving her a hand, so she didn't say anything and went up with a calm expression. Guo Xiao released his hand in time and watched Song Jianing get into the carriage and sit down. He stepped aside and got on his horse, pretending to be his younger sister, but the warmth of his stepsister's hand remained in his palm.
The brothers and sisters returned to the Duke's Mansion. Lanfang gave Song Jianing a hand when they got out of the car, and Song Jianing forgot about the brief contact with Guo Xiao. Brother and sister went to accompany Mrs. Tai for dinner. Mrs. Tai missed her eldest granddaughter who she brought up by herself. She hardly used chopsticks. She also lost her appetite for the next two days, and her spirit was not good.
Lin felt distressed for her mother-in-law and asked Guo Boyan to think of a way, so the next day, when Guo Boyan returned to the house, he brought an imperial doctor with him...
Mrs. Tai is missing her granddaughter. It cannot be cured by an imperial doctor, but the imperial doctor suggested that Mrs. Tai should go to a good place to escape the summer heat. Get better slowly. Guo Boyan thought this was a good idea, and asked Mrs. Tai if she would like to go out. Mrs. Tai glanced at her Changxin Courtyard, where the shadow of her eldest granddaughter was everywhere, so she nodded and agreed.
The Guo family has a summer resort, which is located at the foot of Qingquan Peak. There are springs in the mountains. Many dignitaries have built villas on the mountain.
When there was a place, Guo Boyan asked Yun Fang and Song Jianing, two granddaughters who had not yet been engaged, to accompany Mrs. The twins were overjoyed when they heard it. As long as the grandmother was away from the summer, they could practice martial arts without reading for as long as they wanted. As a result, before the corners of the brothers' mouths opened, Guo Boyan said again, and asked Mr. Wen and Mr. Wu to go with them.
Guo Fu and Guo Shu couldn't laugh immediately. Song Jianing lowered his head and snickered. Mrs. Tai looked at the two identical grandchildren, and finally didn't care so much about her eldest granddaughter who was married far away.
After picking the day to go out, Guo Boyan personally escorted his mother to Qingquan Peak. Mrs. Tai brought her two granddaughters to settle in. Guo Boyan led Guo Fu and Guo Shu to inspect Zhuangzi and arranged for nursing homes. She was on duty during the day and night, and she must ensure that Mrs. Tai waited. The sophistication of people. But this is the mansion of the Duke of Wei, which thief came to take food from the tiger's mouth
Guo Boyan returned to Beijing confidently. Song Jianing followed Mrs. Tai and settled down here with peace of mind.
It was a coincidence that the group came. A big yellow dog raised by Zhuangzi's steward gave birth to a litter of puppies. It was almost two months old. Some were given away, but only two were left. when people like it. Yunfang is a lady born in the capital, and she doesn't like this little dog. Song Jianing likes it very much. The manager wants to please his master, so he wants to send both pups to the four girls.
The little black dog was fierce, Song Jianing didn't want it, just kept the little yellow dog who liked to lick her palms, and took it to her house to raise it. dog. Tired of teasing the dog, Song Jianing would either accompany Mrs. Tai for a walk nearby, or listen to Mrs. Nv's story with Mrs. Tai, or go to see the twins practicing with Yun Fang with a smile, and they lived quite happily.
Every ten-day holiday, Guo Boyan would bring Lin Shi and Brother Mao to visit Mrs. Tai, and then leave here after a long rest. Seeing that Mrs. Tai's complexion was gradually improving, Guo Boyan was finally relieved.
Before I knew it, half a month later, Song Jianing and Yun Fang were playing cards with Madam Tai under the shade of a tree in the second half of the 19th, when there was a sudden sound of hooves outside Zhuangzi. Mrs. Tai glanced at the courtyard wall and said with a smile, "It must be your eldest brother here." The eldest son is occasionally unable to come over for business, and the eldest grandson never leaves, and he arrives the night before the ten-day holiday, so he can stay here for one night.
After Mrs. Tai finished speaking, the effort of a cup of tea was useless, Guo Xiao's tall figure appeared in Zhuangzi's backyard, wearing the official uniform of Ma Jundutou, obviously coming directly from the military camp. The first thing Song Jianing saw was the green-skinned summer melon that Guo Xiao was holding in his hand. It was round and long, bigger than the heads of both of them.
"Where did eldest brother get it?" Yun Fang jumped up in surprise and ran over to look in novelty.
Guo Xiao walked over here and said, "Yesterday, my uncle sent someone to the house, but my mother didn't let me move, and asked me to bring my grandmother to honor her."
Song Jianing smiled, knowing that Guo Xiao's uncle was referring to her uncle Lin Zhengdao, who was a wealthy businessman and could often get some rare things.
"Your mother is really, it's not that we don't have it here. With such a big melon, Brother Mao must be greedy?" Imagining the appearance of the grandson drooling around the melon, Mrs. Tai suddenly wanted to go back to the house.
The two maids took the melon, washed it, cut it into slices, placed it on a white porcelain fruit plate and brought it over. Guo Fu and Guo Shu came upon hearing the news, and the brothers and sisters sat in a circle, eating melons with Mrs. Tai. Guo Shu deliberately spit out the melon seeds far away, and the little yellow dog Mao Mao ran over, not fond of melon seeds, but liked to chase and play. With such indecent behavior, Mrs. Tai gave her grandson a lesson.
"Tomorrow I'm going to the mountains to get some game. Are you two going?" Guo Xiao suddenly asked his two cousins.
Twins kung fu is so-so, but they like to hunt. Hearing this, he immediately nodded.
"I'm going too!" Yun Fang coaxed.
Song Jianing laughed, this third sister, as long as she was playing, she didn't want to go.
Guo Xiao looked at Madam Tai and asked the elders to decide.
Mrs. Tai smiled and nodded: "Go, An An will go too, Lan Fang has made a marriage, and the next one is the two of you, while you are having a good time at Zhuangzi, you have to be obedient when you return to the house, and can't be with children anymore. It's like." He stared at Yun Fang with a meaning.
Yun Fang laughed, knowing that her grandmother was talking about her.
Song Jianing didn't want to go out with Guo Xiao. In her heart, Guo Xiao, who had grown into a big man, was a wolf. The older he got, the more dangerous he was. As the prey that Guo Xiao had eaten for seven years, Song Jianing would rather be a suspicious gentleman. The elder brother's villain did not dare to take a little risk.
"There are many mosquitoes in the mountains, so I won't go. I want to stay with my grandmother at home." Song Jianing leaned over to Mrs. Tai and said coquettishly.
Guo Xiao was eating melons, and when he heard her sweet voice, his long eyelashes moved but did not lift.
"It's just you being squeamish, no, you have to go, brothers go fast, let's be company." Yunfang cried.
Song Jianing still wanted to refuse, but Mrs. Tai patted her little hand and said lovingly, "Go An'an, grandma has mosquito-repellent flower lotion, you can wipe it on your body."
The twins also warmly invited her, but the kindness was hard to resist, Song Jianing was embarrassed to refuse again, and everyone made an appointment to leave after breakfast tomorrow. In the early morning of the next day, Song Jianing changed into a light pink long gown with narrow sleeves and a long white embroidered lotus leaf skirt. Before going out, she deliberately smeared the flower dew sent by Mrs. Tai on her neck and hands.
Leading Shuang'er to the front yard, Guo Xiao and others gathered, Song Jianing looked at Yunfang and asked, "Where's Qiaorong?"
Qiao Rong is Yun Fang's maidservant. When they came to Zhuangzi this time, the two sisters only brought one maid out, and the rest were rough.
Yunfang didn't care much about the tunnel: "She has a stomachache, it's fine, let's go to the mountains to play, and we don't need her to serve anything, but it's a burden to bring."
The two were a little embarrassed to say that.
"Let's go." Guo Xiao said loudly, Song Jianing looked over subconsciously, today Guo Xiao is wearing a rare white brocade robe, which makes his face look like a crown of jade, and he is a little more romantic than usual. But Song Jianing only looked at it once, then withdrew his gaze, took Yun Fang's arm, and made up his mind to stay with Yun Fang on this trip.
However, before entering the mountain, Song Jianing's plan was destroyed.
Guo Shu suggested that the six people be divided into three groups, and an hour later they would meet under the old pine tree on the top of the mountain to see who had the most prey.
Song Jianing's heart tightened.
"Okay, okay, I'm in a group with the eldest brother." Yun Fang rushed to Guo Xiao's side, hugged Guo Xiao's arm and said, the eldest brother is the strongest in martial arts and will definitely win.
Song Jianing's tense heart instantly relaxed.
Guo Fu immediately said, "An An is a group with me." The two younger sisters, the fourth younger sister was quiet and sensible, and the third younger sister was noisier. He was afraid that the third younger sister would scare the prey away.
Guo Shu was not happy anymore, he didn't want to form a group with Shuang'er, a maid, and suggested that the three brothers should start with the back of their hands, the winner would be with Song Jianing, the other two would guess the boxing, then the winner would be with Yunfang, and the rest would be with Shuang'er. . Yun Fang pouted and said glumly, "What do you mean by third brother? How can I not compare to fourth sister?"
"You talk too much!" Guo Shu laughed and said mercilessly: "I'm giving you face, otherwise you'll have to rank behind Shuang'er."
Yun Fang was so angry that she hit him.
"Okay, group up early, and leave early." Guo Xiao stood in front of Guo Shu and motioned Guo Fu to come over with his eyes, his three palms on the back of his hands.
Song Jianing stared at the hands of the three men nervously.
With Guo Shu's "go out", three hands stretched out at the same time, only one of them with the palm facing upwards was... Guo Xiao.
The author has something to say: Don't worry about Guo Xiao's drama, he only has half a year left to frighten Jia Ning, after all, Jia Ning was married at the age of fourteen!
