Chapter 70 070
When her mother and stepfather discussed the marriage of Ting Fang’s sister, Song Jianing was envious, and secretly longing for the day when her parents would choose a good son-in-law for her, but she never thought that this day would come so early, she was just thirteen years old. what. Unprepared, Song Jianing blinked and looked at the smiling mother beside her. It took a long time for her to react, and then her face turned red slowly, she lowered her head shyly, and whispered: “Mother, how old am I… …”
Her face is really shy, and her heart is unspeakably joyful. The biggest thought in her life is that her mother has been with her peacefully. The second place is to put on the phoenix crown and the hazel, which is upright and beautiful. Married to a man who treated her sincerely, and now her parents began to plan for her, and she finally looked forward to this day.
Lin looked at her daughter’s red face and smiled and said: “You are not big, but Lu Zhen is big. I heard that he was born with supernatural power. He kicked the copper basin full of water when he was born. Picking up fifteen catties of stones, you can drag a pig at the age of seven…”
Song Jianing smiled, blushing and said: “Why is he going to drag the pig?”
It’s nothing unusual for children to play with rocks. Although most of them play with rocks, who would drag pigs to play with?
Lin himself laughed, laughed enough and poked his daughter’s forehead: “I’ll tell you what others told me, and ask so much what to do. Anyway, he is very strong, and now one punch can kill a horse. , On the battlefield, no one will be able to beat him. Before because of his mother’s filial piety, there was no marriage relationship. Now that filial piety is out, we don’t make arrangements for you earlier.
Song Jianing lowered her head in shame, her apricot eyes were moisturized, what would a man with supernatural power look like? Must be very burly, right?
Lin was also curious about what Lu Zhen looked like, touched her daughter’s head, and said with emotion: “Your father will call him in the evening. Let’s go to his study and wait in advance. If we close our eyes, the marriage will be settled years ago. .”
Song Jianing’s eyes were like water, thinking about her identity, she was a little worried and bored: “Even if I look at him, their family may not look at me.” Lu Zhen’s father is a fourth-rank official, and her biological father is just an early death. Juren, the Guo family, after all, is not her real natal family, Song Jianing has been very content all day, but she knows that many ladies in Beijing look down on her.
“Don’t belittle yourself, don’t mention your father’s kindness to you, just like you, Lu Zhen can marry you, it is his three lifetime blessings.” Lin embraced his daughter and gently encouraged.
Song Jianing touched her face and her eyes lit up again. As long as Lu Zhen treats her well, she will try to be a good wife.
At dusk, Lin’s Liumao brother played with Mrs. Tai. She led her daughter back to Guo Boyan’s study early. Song Jianing was very nervous, and Lin was also nervous. The wife stood by the window and spoke softly. When Guo Boyan’s energetic voice came from the yard, Lin immediately took her daughter to hide behind the landscape screen on one side.
Song Jianing clenched the placket with one hand and stared at the door closely.
Guo Boyan walked in first, and behind him was a young man who was about the same height as him. He had a dark complexion and a tiger-backed waist. He looked very strong, and he was very powerful at first glance. Song Jianing’s heart was pounding. After reading the man’s body, he had the courage to raise his head. Then he was surprised to find that Lu Zhen was a burly body, but he was a little bookish, not so handsome, but his facial features, especially his eyes, really looked like a mother. Said, revealing a kind of honest and honest energy.
Across the screen, Song Jianing stared at each other intently, and the more he looked, the more satisfied he became. Romantic and suave, she has experienced Liang Shao, and she has also been with Guo Xiao for seven years. Either learning to be rich or in a high position, or gentle as water or domineering and strong, once bitten by a snake for ten years and afraid of well ropes, now when I see people like Liang Shao and Guo Xiao, Song Jianing instinctively resists, and the town of Lu grows burly. Honestly, thinking of marrying such a man, she feels very at ease.
“My lord, you call your subordinates over, do you have anything to order?” Lu Zhen asked puzzledly on the other side of the screen. Wei Guogong is the commander of the Dianqianwei. He is just an ordinary guard of the Dianqianwei. Suddenly, he was called by the Dianqianwei. Lu Zhen always worried whether he had made any mistakes. I don’t know why. He was the first to step into this study. From the moment, he has a feeling of being stared at.
Just about to look around, the mysterious Lord Guo finally spoke. He pulled out a military book from the bookshelf and handed it to Lu Zhen: “This book is not bad. Take it back and have a look. After reading it, you can understand everything. Write it down and give it to me in five days.”
Lu Zhen was stunned, and he dared to call his father-in-law to come over, just to give him a military book?
At the moment when he instinctively took over the military book, Lu Zhen felt very heavy and he didn’t like reading…
“Let’s go home.” Guo Boyan patted Lu Zhen on the shoulder, his voice was calm and authentic.
Lu Zhen bends down and salutes, holding the book in a muddle and walks away.
As soon as he left, Guo Boyan immediately looked at the screen. Lin motioned her daughter to go out, Song Jianing was embarrassed, hiding behind the screen and shy. Lin immediately understood her daughter’s blushing face. She didn’t force her daughter to see her stepfather. She went around the screen and said to Guo Bo with a smile: “Guogongye really knows how to look at people, and I and An An are very satisfied.”
Guo Boyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Over there, Lu Zhen honestly followed the young man and walked around the shadow wall. Suddenly, he saw a man in Ma Jundu’s official uniform walking in with a grim face. Lu Zhen, who had just entered the palace at the beginning of the year, didn’t know Guo Xiao. He suddenly realized that he stood behind him and bowed his head to salute.
“Are you?” Guo Xiao slowed down and asked casually when he caught a glimpse of the military book in his hand.
Lu Zhen respectfully said: “Subordinate Lu Zhen is a guard from the front office of the palace, and the Duke of the country just asked his subordinates to come over.”
Guo Xiao looked at the main courtyard, first went back to his Yihexuan to bathe and change clothes, cleaned up, and then came to Linyuntang. Song Jianing had hid back in the backyard a long time ago. Guo Boyan and Lin had just picked up Brother Mao from his wife and sat in the hall to discuss their daughter’s marriage. When Guo Xiao walked to the door, he faintly heard the word “talking about marriage”, he paused and moved on.
“The son has seen his father and mother.” After entering the hall, Guo Xiao saluted respectfully.
Guo Boyan grumbled.
“Big brother!” Brother Mao happily climbed off his father’s lap and ran to his elder brother.
Guo Xiao picked up the boy in the armpits of the boy. 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, I met him when I came back. A guard in front of the palace, you called him?”
Guo Boyan laughed. Before, he could not guarantee that his wife and daughter would see Luzhen, so everyone else had concealed it first. Now he only waits for him to send someone to talk to the Lu family. At most, the Lu family’s daughters will look at their daughters. The marriage is basically set, and naturally there is no need to hide and choke. Looking at his son, Guo Boyan said cheerfully, “Exactly, what does Pingzhang think of that person?”
Guo Xiao’s eyes changed slightly, thinking about it for a moment, and said: “Seeing that he has strong arms, he should be a strong man.”
Lin’s admiration is extremely high, and he is indeed a military commander.
Guo Boyan didn’t take this little insight seriously, and continued to ask: “Then what do you think, how about he be your brother-in-law?”
Guo Xiao choked his breath, and after a while, his heart resumed beating again, showing a look of surprise, with a slightly surprised smile: “I wonder if his father chose Yunfang’s son-in-law, or Jianing?”
Guo Boyan raised his chin to his wife opposite, laughing and scolding his son for being stupid. His niece had his own father and mother, so he was bothered by his uncle.
After the just warning, after confirming that his father had found Ruyi Langjun for his stepsister, Guo Xiao succeeded in maintaining a calm face, but his chest was still like a block of sand. He heard his own voice, but he could not hear what he said. What happened: “Father chose it naturally, but can I ask Jianing 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 raging anger.
The stepsister actually fell in love with the man named Lu Zhen? A mediocre man who has nothing to gain except for a burly body?
Guo Xiao is not reconciled, but his father is the only one who can take charge of the marriage of his stepsister. He, the stepbrother, is not qualified to oppose. If there is no sufficient reason, his father may doubt…
Reason gradually returned, Guo Xiao suppressed those thoughts for the time being, talked with his father for a while, and went to Changxinyuan to see his wife.
This night, Song Jianing could not fall asleep over and over. Her mind was full of honest men picked for her by her stepparents. She was obviously not a handsome person, but she liked it more and more, but she fell asleep as she thought about it. In the far Yihexuan, Guo Xiao stayed up all night, lying on his back on the bed, his black eyes staring at the lacquered ceiling until dawn.
Before leaving the next day, Guo Xiao whispered to Ashun to inquire about all the news about Luzhen.
At the same time, next door Shouwang Mansion, Shouwang stood in front of the desk holding a pen, looking at the word “Dian” that he had just written, Shouwangye’s brows, which were easily disturbed by mundane things, frowned deeper and deeper. He still couldn’t figure out why Wei Guogong, who rarely brought the affairs of the court back to the mansion, would bring a small guard at the front of the palace with him back home, and inexplicably gave him a book.
He scribbled: “Come here.”
Father Fu, who was waiting outside, rushed in and bent over and said: “What is the Lord’s order?” When he was speaking, he glanced at the master nervously. When he returned to Luzhen last night, the master didn’t say anything, but this morning, Father Fu could see that the master was not too happy. When he was upset, he liked to sit alone in the study.
Zhao Heng didn’t look at him and continued to write.
Father Fu understood, and ran out in a desperate manner. After a while, he changed the prince and came in with his guard Zongze.
“Subordinates pay homage to the prince.” Zong Zesu Rong saluted.
Zhao Heng nodded, turned the four words just written, motioned him to read.
Zong Ze raised his eyes and saw the rice paper with “Guo, Lu” on the right and “Staring, Cha” on the left.
There was a cold sweat behind Zong Ze. Although he is the guard next to the prince, the king of life is leisurely. He has not been sent to check anything for so many years. The master and servant rarely communicate directly. He feels that he has guessed the meaning of these four words correctly, but what if it is not?
“Subordinates take the orders.” Hesitating in his heart, Zong Ze agreed very gladly, unwilling to ask the prince to question his ability.
“Go ahead.” Zhao Heng said lightly, continuing to scribble.
Zong Ze bowed his head and retired, and went to see Father Fu for confirmation when he went out.
