When her mother and her stepfather were discussing the marriage of Tingfang's sister, Song Jianing was envious while secretly looking forward to the day when her parents chose a good son-in-law for her, but she never thought that this day would come so early, she was only thirteen years old. what. Unprepared, Song Jianing blinked her eyes and looked at her smiling mother beside her. It took her a while to react, then her face slowly turned red, she lowered her head shyly, and whispered, "Mother, how old am I... "
Her face is really shy, and her heart is indescribably happy. Her biggest wish in her life is that her mother will always accompany her in peace, and the second place is to wear a phoenix crown and a robe, and look upright and beautiful. Marrying a man who sincerely treats her, now, her parents have begun to plan for her, and she finally looks forward to this day.
Lin looked at her daughter's flushed face, and said with a smile: "You are not big, but Lu Zhen is old. I heard that he was born with supernatural power, and he kicked over a copper basin full of water when he was born. Picking up a fifteen-pound stone, he can drag a pig at the age of seven..."
Song Jianing burst out laughing and said with a blushing face, "Why is he dragging a pig?"
It is not unusual for children to play with stones. Although most of them play with small stones, who would go to drag pigs to play
Lin Shi himself laughed, and when he was done laughing, he poked his daughter's forehead: "I've told you so, I'll tell you so, what to do with so many questions, anyway, he is very strong, and now he can kill a horse with one punch. , on the battlefield, no one will be able to match. Before, because of filial piety to his mother, he never got married, but now that he is filial piety, what if we didn't arrange it for you sooner, what would happen if someone took it away?"
Song Jianing lowered his head shyly, his almond eyes were moist, what would a man with natural power look like? Must be very burly, right
Lin Shi was also curious about what Lu Zhen looked like, rubbed her daughter's head, and said with emotion: "Your father will call him over in the evening, let's go to his study in advance and wait, if we get our eyes on it, the marriage will be settled years ago. ."
Song Jianing's eyes were like water, thinking about her identity, she was a little worried, and said dully: "Even if I like him, their family may not like me." Lu Zhen's father was a fourth-rank official, and her biological father was just an early deceased. Juren, the Guo family, after all, is not her real family. Song Jianing lived a very satisfied day, but she knew that many ladies in the capital looked down on her.
"Don't be arrogant, don't mention your father's goodness to you, just like you, Lu Zhen's marriage to you is a blessing he has cultivated in three lifetimes." Lin hugged her daughter and gently encouraged.
Song Jianing touched her face, her eyes lit up again, as long as Lu Zhen treats her well, she will try to be a good wife.
At dusk, Lin Shi left Mao's brother to play at Mrs. Tai's place, and she led her daughter back to Guo Boyan's study early. Song Jianing was very nervous, and Lin was also nervous. The mother and two stood by the window and spoke softly. When Guo Boyan's energetic voice came from the yard, Lin immediately pulled her daughter to hide behind the landscape screen on one side.
Song Jianing clutched the placket in one hand and stared at the door closely.
Guo Boyan walked in first, followed by a young man about the same height as him. His complexion was slightly dark, and he looked very strong and strong. Song Jianing's heart was beating wildly. After reading the man's body, he mustered up the courage to raise his head. Then he was surprised to find that Lu Zhen was tall and burly, but he looked a little bookish. Said, revealing a simple and honest energy.
Across the screen, Song Jianing stared at each other intently, and the more he looked, the more satisfied he became. The romantic and suave, she has experienced Liang Shao, the cold and dignified, she has also accompanied Guo Xiao for seven years. Either learn to be rich or occupy a high position, or be gentle like water or domineering, once bitten by snakes for ten years and afraid of the rope, now seeing people like Liang Shao and Guo Xiao, Song Jianing instinctively resists, Lu Zhen is tall and burly Honestly, thinking of marrying such a man, she felt very at ease.
"Sir, you asked your subordinates to come here, do you have any orders?" Lu Zhen asked in confusion on the other side of the screen. Duke Wei is the commander of the front guard of the palace. He is just an ordinary bodyguard of the front guard of the palace. He was suddenly called by Duke Wei. Lu Zhen is always worried about whether he has made a mistake. I don’t know why. From that moment on, he felt like he was being watched.
Just as he was about to look left and right, the mysterious and unpredictable Grandpa finally spoke. He took out a military book from the bookshelf and handed it to Lu Zhen: "This book is good, take it back and read it, after reading it, you will have all your insights. Write it down and give it to me in five days."
Lu Zhen was stunned, and dared to ask him to come over, just to give him a military book
Instinctively took over the military book, the moment the military book started, Lu Zhen felt extremely heavy, and he was the least fond of reading...
"Go home." Guo Boyan patted Lu Zhen on the shoulder, his voice calm and authentic.
Lu Zhen bent down and saluted, and walked away holding the book in a confused manner.
As soon as he left, Guo Boyan immediately looked at the screen. Lin motioned her daughter to go out, Song Jianing was embarrassed, and hid behind the screen and was shy. Lin Shi understood when she saw her daughter's blushing face. She didn't force her daughter to see her stepfather immediately. She walked around the screen and said to Guo Boyan with a smile, "Master Guo really knows how to look at people, and An An and I are very satisfied."
Guo Boyan breathed a sigh of relief.
Over there, Lu Zhen honestly followed the little servant and walked out, bypassing the shadow wall, and suddenly saw a man in the official uniform of the Ma Jundu headed in with a cold face. Lu Zhen, who had just entered the hall at the beginning of the year, didn't know Guo Xiao, and when he heard the servant call the other party's prince, he suddenly realized that he stood behind the servant and bowed his head in salute.
"Who are you?" Guo Xiao slowed down and asked casually when he saw the military book in his hand.
Lu Zhen said respectfully: "My subordinate Lu Zhen is a bodyguard of the front office of the palace. Just now, the grandfather of the country asked his subordinate to come here."
Guo Xiao glanced at the main courtyard, first went back to his Yihexuan to bathe and change clothes, and then he came to Linyuntang. Song Jianing had already hid in the backyard. Guo Boyan and Lin Shi had just picked up Brother Mao from Mrs. Tai's place and sat in the hall to discuss their daughter's marriage. Guo Xiaoxing went to the door and vaguely heard the word "discussing relatives", he paused and continued on.
"My son has seen his father and mother." Entering the main room, Guo Xiao saluted respectfully.
Guo Boyan hummed.
"Big brother!" Brother Mao happily climbed down from his father's lap and ran to his brother.
Guo Xiao carried the boy's armpit and picked him up. After sitting down, he chatted with his younger brother for a while. After answering a few childish questions, he looked at the man in the main seat and asked, "Father, when I came back, I met him. A guard in front of the palace, you asked him to come?"
Guo Boyan laughed. Before, he couldn't guarantee that his wife and daughter would fall in love with Lu Zhen, so everyone else had to hide it. Now he just waits for him to send someone to talk to the Lu family. The marriage is basically settled, and naturally there is no need to hide and choke. Looking at his son, Guo Boyan said happily: "Exactly, what does Pingzhang think of that person?"
Guo Xiao's eyes changed slightly, he recalled for a moment, and said, "Looking at his strong arms, he should be a powerful person."
Lin's admiration is incomparable, he is indeed a military general, and he is really accurate.
Guo Boyan didn't take this little vision seriously, and continued to ask: "Then what do you think, he will be your brother-in-law?"
Guo Xiao breathed a suffocation, and it took a while for his heart to resume beating again, showing a look of surprise, and a somewhat surprised smile: "I don't know if my father chose a good son-in-law for Yun Fang, or Jia Ning?"
Guo Boyan raised his chin at his wife opposite, and laughed in his heart and scolded his son for being stupid. His niece has her own parents and mother, so how can I use his uncle to bother.
After the warning just now, after confirming that his father had found a good husband for his stepsister, Guo Xiao managed to keep calm on his face, but his chest was still like a block of gravel. He heard his own voice, but he couldn't hear what he said at all. What: "Father's choice is naturally good, but asked Jia Ning to see it?"
"Well, your sister is also very satisfied..."
For the rest, Guo Xiao couldn't hear a word, and the gravel on his chest instantly turned into a raging rage.
The stepsister actually fell in love with the man named Lu Zhen? A mediocre man who has nothing to offer but a burly body
Guo Xiao is not reconciled, but his father is the only one who can decide the marriage of his stepsister. He, who is a stepbrother, is not qualified to object. If there is no sufficient reason, his father may suspect...
Reason gradually returned, Guo Xiao put down those thoughts for a while, talked with his father for a while, and went to Changxinyuan to see Mrs. Tai.
This night, Song Jianing tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. Her mind was full of honest men chosen for her by her step-parents. She was obviously not a handsome man, but the more she thought about it, the more she liked it, but she fell asleep while thinking about it, and the distance was not far away. In the distant Yihexuan, Guo Xiao stayed up all night, lying on his back on the bed, his black eyes staring at the pitch-black roof until dawn.
Before leaving the next day, Guo Xiao whispered to Ah Shun, asking him to inquire about all the news about Lu Zhen.
At the same time, in the Shouwang Mansion next door, Shouwang stood in front of the desk with a pen, looking at the word "Palace" that he had just written, the god-like brow of Shouwang, who was easily undisturbed by mundane affairs, the deeper he wrinkled. He still couldn't figure out why Duke Wei, who rarely brought court affairs back to his house, brought a small guard in front of the palace with him, and inexplicably gave him a book.
He scribbled: "Come on."
Eunuch Fu, who was waiting outside, hurried in, bent over and said, "What is your order?" When he spoke, he glanced at the master nervously. When he reported the matter to Luzhen last night, the master did not say anything, but this morning, Eunuch Fu can see that the master is not very happy, and when he is not happy, he likes to be alone in the study.
Zhao Heng didn't look at him and continued to write.
Eunuch Fu understood, and ran out in despair. After a while, Zong Ze, the prince's bodyguard, came in.
"My subordinates meet the prince." Zong Ze saluted Su Rong.
Zhao Heng nodded, turned the four words he just wrote, and motioned him to read.
Zong Ze raised his eyes and saw that on the rice paper, "Guo, Lu" was written on the right side, and "Stare, Check" on the left.
A layer of cold sweat broke out from Zong Ze's back. Although he is the guard next to the prince, the king of Shou is leisurely and has not sent him to check anything for so many years. The master and servant rarely communicate directly. He thinks that he has guessed the meaning of the four words right in front of him, but what if it is not
"My subordinates take orders." Hesitating in his heart, Zong Ze agreed happily, not wanting to ask the prince to question his ability.
"Go." Zhao Heng said lightly, and continued to write.
Zong Ze bowed his head and retired, and went out to find Eunuch Fu to confirm.
