When Erye Song was enjoying the service of the two maids, Guo Boyan first returned to Linyuntang, entered the courtyard, and bumped into the eldest son who had heard the news.
"Father, I heard that the Song family has entered Beijing?" Guo Xiao asked with a frown.
Guo Boyan snorted, and motioned for the servant to bring the water. He didn't pay much attention to the tunnel: "The people are in the guest room, and I have a plan to make them stop."
Guo Xiao was not worried about this. Who is the father, why would he ask two bad guys to snatch his stepsister? Guo Xiao only cares about one thing. Looking at the direction of the backyard, he cares: "Mother, they..."
A trace of sadness finally flashed across Guo Boyan's face. The Song family is good to go, but if the husband and wife are so mixed up, their family will definitely be criticized by the people of the capital. The identity of the wife and the widow who remarried, and the fact that the daughter was originally the Song family will all be revealed. He didn't care, but the royal family valued face the most.
"They're fine, it's just King Shou..."
Halfway through, the servant came back with water, Guo Boyan went to wash his hands first, Song Kuo was dirty, and he disliked it very much.
Guo Xiao stood silently by the side.
Guo Boyan washed his hands, looked at his son, and sighed, "Wait for the news from the palace." It was useless to think more.
Guo Xiao said nothing.
Guo Boyan asked the eldest son to return to Yihexuan first, and he would deal with Song Kuo and his wife alone. Hu Shi was tied up in the side room. Second Master Song had already taken the medicine. I don't know how. Anyway, the pale face turned red before, and it was a spring breeze. Guo Boyan moved the chair to sit by the bed, and said a few polite words, he said with emotion: "Jianning has been raised in our house for four years, and Mrs. Tai and I both regard her as a daughter-in-law, and I really can't bear to send her back to your house. As long as Jia Ning continues to be the girl of the Guo family, she will be able to be a princess and enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth. If the virtuous brother truly loves Jia Ning, he should have a long-term plan for her. no?"
Song Erye hoped that his niece would be well, and really agreed with Guo Boyan's words. He just thought of the sturdy wife at home, and he didn't dare to call the shots.
Guo Boyan saw that his face was embarrassed, and continued: "Of course, our Guo family can't rob your brother's only blood in vain. If the virtuous brother does not dislike it, I want to give the two maids just now to the virtuous brother as concubines, so that they can be more The Song family has several children, and there are many children. I hope that the wise brother will choose one to adopt the name of the elder brother and inherit the incense for the elder brother. This is one thousand taels of silver, which the wise brother will collect, and will invite a good gentleman for several children in the future. , teach them to read the imperial examinations, and when they arrive in the capital, they can come to join me, and I will do my best to help them secure a future."
Saying that, he shoved the silver note into Song Erye's hands.
Song Erye was holding the silver note and was a little reluctant to let it go, but he still swallowed and wanted to return the silver note.
Guo Boyan persuaded him to stop before he could speak, and looked him in the eye and said, "What do you think, Brother Xian?"
Second Master Song is of course willing! When I went to Beijing, I got a thousand taels of silver notes and two beautiful family members for nothing. I also got a promise from the grandfather of the country to take care of the sons of the Song family. Regardless of this, even if there is no Guo family and his niece becomes Princess Shou, he can be regarded as a relative of the royal family. Who would dare to laugh at him in those neighborhoods in Jiangnan
"Brother Xian has been slow to respond, is it because he is afraid of that evil woman?" Guo Boyan's voice suddenly turned cold, and said solemnly: "Brother Xian, I should not talk much about family affairs, but Brother Xian is Jia Ning's second uncle, for the sake of Jia Ning, I would also like to advise my virtuous brother. That wicked woman instigated you to file a lawsuit against the imperial court, she clearly wanted to save Jia Ning from redemption. Fortunately, the current emperor clearly discerned right from wrong and did not withdraw the marriage decree, otherwise it would not only harm Jia Ning, but also break The in-laws between the virtuous brother and the heavenly family. It is the family and all things prosper, such an unvirtuous person, why does the virtuous brother continue to let her go and marry a gentle woman as his wife? A good marriage?"
One wicked woman and one marriage, Song Erye looked at the grandfather who persuaded him like a friend, and his dislike for the Hu family grew like wild grass after the rain. Yes, all the faults were caused by the Hu family. It was the Hu family who dragged him back to his parents' house for nothing. He was imprisoned for three years, and he didn't have a pair of children. It also chilled his niece's heart, otherwise he would bring a gift to Beijing to recognize his relatives. How could a gentle person like a sister-in-law and niece not recognize him
Thanks to the broad-mindedness of the government, not only did he not blame him, but he also planned for him wholeheartedly.
Then why is he hesitating? As long as the Hu family is divorced, he will be able to have two more concubines and marry another young and gentle husband. He is just in his early thirties and is in good health. The old Zhuhuang from the Hu family will not be able to give birth to children. The new wife will definitely be the son of the Song family for him, and even he can put the blame on the Hu family in exchange for the forgiveness of the princess and niece. !
"What the grandfather said is, I'll leave her now!" Erye Song said excitedly, his buttocks didn't seem to hurt anymore.
Guo Boyan smiled with relief, suddenly shook his head again, and sighed: "She is a woman, and now she is injured, so let her rest at this time, she has nowhere to go, let her rest in the mansion for a few days, wait for her I will give her some trouble and send someone to take her back to Jiangnan. It is rare for a virtuous brother to come here, so it is better to stay in the capital for a while longer and drink Jia Ning's wedding wine before leaving."
Actually let him drink the wedding wine of the princess and niece
Song Erye was overjoyed, and said with emotion from the bottom of his heart: "Grandpa Guo is a generous man, he is really a kind man!"
Guo Boyan smiled humbly.
Qian Guanshi coughed, and said with some embarrassment: "Grandpa Guo, on the fourth girl's side, the emperor is still waiting for news, you see..."
Guo Boyan suddenly realized, and reluctantly said to Song Erye: "It's about the marriage between Jia Ning and the prince, and I have to trouble my virtuous brother to come to the palace with me, so that the emperor knows that the two of us have shaken hands and made peace, and there will be no more grudges."
Song Erye smiled all over his face: "It should be, it should be."
Guo Boyan asked people to carry Song Erye and take him into the palace to face the Holy Spirit. Emperor Xuande didn't have the mind to pay attention to such trivial matters, so he expelled them both perfunctorily. Although he agreed to his son, Guo Boyan hurt him. The royal family lost face, and Emperor Xuande looked at him very unpleasantly at the moment. But when his anger returned, Emperor Xuande gave Wang En, the great eunuch, a wink.
Wang Ensui followed Guo Boyan out of the hall and said with a smile, "Your Highness, don't worry, the four girls' marriages are still as usual."
Guo Boyan's heart finally fell to the ground.
Back at the Guogong's mansion, let the servants carry Song Erye to the guest house. Guo Boyan washed his hands and changed his clothes, and went to the backyard to announce the good news.
Lin Shi was overjoyed and hurried to tell her daughter. Guo Boyan hugged her, raised her chin in a flirtatious way, and said in a hoarse voice, "My father has spent so much time on your behalf, how can you thank me?"
Lin Shi couldn't stand his indecent appearance, and said with a blushing face, "I'll go see An An first, you, let me go."
Guo Boyan didn't let go, and wanted to ask her first. Today, Mrs. Hu said in the main hall that Mrs. Lin once cried and wanted to die together with the short-lived ghost surnamed Song. He always remembered it, and he was a little worried. Moreover, Guo Boyan faintly saw the shadow of the short-lived ghost from Song Kuo. My heart is getting more and more unhappy.
Jealousy turned into lust, Guo Boyan clasped Lin's slender waist with one hand and lifted her skirt with the other.
Lin's struggle, just when the couple's breath was getting heavier and heavier, Lin's was about to obey him, and Qiuyue outside suddenly said: "The prince, the prince, the prince has just sent someone to send a message, please come over."
Guo Boyan was stunned. It had been a few years since King Shou moved to the palace, and this was the first time he was looking for him.
Lin shi took the opportunity to escape from his arms, panting lightly while turning his back to his half-fading clothes: "It must be for An'an's business, the emperor doesn't blame us, there must be the emperor's credit, you take care of our mothers. Thank you lord."
Guo Boyan asked curiously, "Why is he credited?"
Lin turned around and saw that his robe was still messed up, so she walked over to help the man smooth the wrinkles on his body, and by the way said the four words that King Shou said in front of the Duke's Mansion. Only then did Guo Boyan understand that King Shou cared so much about his daughter. After packing up, Guo Boyan hugged his sweet wife and kissed him again. When he stepped out of the inner room, he had become a dignified and stable grandfather.
"Father is going out?" Guo Xiao learned that his father had returned, and immediately came over to inquire about the news. Seeing his father walking out, he asked in surprise.
Guo Boyan raised his chin toward the east: "Your Highness announces me."
Guo Xiao's expression changed slightly.
Guo Boyan mistakenly thought that his son was worried about his sister's marriage, and smiled: "Don't worry, the emperor said, the marriage will continue as usual."
Guo Xiao listened and smiled subconsciously, but his heart fell to the bottom in an instant.
Guo Boyan was in a hurry to see King Shou next door, but he didn't pay attention to his son's strangeness. After stepping out of the Guogong Mansion, turn left and you will see the Shouwang Mansion. A little eunuch was already waiting in front of the door, saluting and guiding him. Guo Boyan strode forward without looking sideways, walked for a while, and finally stopped in front of King Shou's study.
At this point, the little eunuch who led the way successfully retired, and Duke Fu invited him in with a blank expression.
Guo Boyan rolled his eyes around Eunuch Fu's face, and vaguely guessed that it was probably not a good thing for King Shou to see him this time.
"Wei Chen pays respects to the prince." Entering the study, Guo Boyan saluted the slender figure standing in front of the desk without being humble or arrogant.
Zhao Heng held a paintbrush, glanced sideways at Guo Boyan, and said indifferently, "Get up."
Guo Boyan stood up straight and took the initiative to say: "Today's affairs are entirely blamed for Wei Chen's ill-consideration and implicated the prince, and I hope the prince forgives his sins."
"Small things, no problem." Zhao Heng continued to paint.
Eunuch Fu picked up the two secret letters on the table and sent them to Guo Boyan respectfully. He lowered his eyes and said, "What the lord wants to say is in these two letters, and Eunuch Guo will know after reading it."
The master and servant were playing dumb puzzles, Guo Boyan suppressed his doubts, took the letter, and opened the first letter first, and saw that it was written: Some people used ten words, roast chicken, and encouraged the stone to push the two girls into the water.
Guo Boyan was startled, the two girls fell into the water, could it be the niece and daughter? Is the stone the son of the boatman? After the incident, Guo Boyan once suspected that Lu Zhen had done something, but the eldest son said that the boatman’s son was young and he accidentally bumped into it. Guo Boyan believed the judgment of the eldest son and didn’t think much about it. Now it seems that it is still the method of the Lu family
Guo Boyan opened the second letter: Before Tan Xiangyu entered the palace, the prince brought gifts to the Tan family.
Guo Boyan looked at these two lines, and then thought of the previous one, his mind suddenly went blank.
In both cases, it was the daughter who was aggrieved. The Lu family might have been involved in the incident of falling into the water, but the two things were mixed in, and only...
His eldest son, Guo Xiao.
