Qin also thought of Xinlanyuan, which was where she wanted to go to a place where she had never been able to enter. Zhao Yunting looked like a treasure, and I don’t know what reason Zhao Chen used to relieve him this time. Thinking of this, the little happiness that Zhao Yunting had created in the morning was gone because of Zhao Yunting’s speech for her. Qin waved his hand irritably, Ziying understood it, took out a piece of broken silver from her purse and rewarded it with the little maid, and signaled her to go down.

The outside quieted down again, looked at the master who closed his eyes, Ziying whispered: "Madam, don't worry, it won't affect anything when the old man comes back. The emperor cannot give the position of prince who was seized by the late emperor to the old man again. The marquis only has the third master, one legitimate son. Even if he feels a little confused now, he will still ask the third master to be the crown prince in two years. The lady is waiting with peace of mind. When the third master becomes a family, will the other ones still have the final say?"

The Marquis always disliked his wife. Now the wife can only rely on the Third Master. As long as the wife does not make mistakes and does not offend the Marquis again, she will not do anything if the Marquis doesn't like her anymore. Only when the wife's status is preserved can these maids who serve each other in person have good results.

Wait with peace of mind?

Qin let go of the dog in his hand, turned sideways, and slowly opened his eyes.

Zhao Chen came back to grab the position of prince. If Han'er was good, of course it would not be Zhao Chen's turn to the position of prince. If something happened to Han'er, there would be only Zhao Chen, the legitimate son of the marquis's mansion, and Zhao Yunting was a celebrity in front of the saint. He insisted that the priest could not be sure of it.

For the sake of the present, she could only tie Zhao Yunting's heart as soon as possible, so that he would care more about Han'er's safety and not give Zhao Chen a chance to frame her. Outside, her father guarded the northwest. Although he had military power, he could not relieve her immediate worries. It would be great if he could find another backer to shock Zhao Chen, or even Zhao Yunting.

It’s a pity that Zhao Yunting’s current status is hard to find a backer that can shock him…

Qin looked at the window and became stunned.

Take your time, as long as she is willing, there will always be a chance.

Outside the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion, Guo Baozhu had been waiting long ago with her personal maid. Mrs. Guo did not come out, but only asked the nanny around her to come out to pick up the girl.

Before I could wait for the Zhao family's carriage, I saw my own carriage turning over.

"It's the second wife." The nanny in charge stood on the side of Guo Baozhu and whispered.

Guo Baozhu looked at the entrance of the alley attentively, as if she didn't hear it.

The carriage slowly stopped. Xu, the second wife of the Guo family, got out of the car, followed a girl of similar age to Guo Baozhu, with a slender eyebrows, a goose face, a light makeup and plain skirt, which complemented the plum blossoms embroidered on her cloak. The two sisters looked at each other, and Guo Baoyan smiled slightly, walked over and asked, "What are you doing when your sister is standing at the door?"

In fact, the difference between the two is only three months.

Guo Baozhu doesn't like this cousin.

The reason is nothing else, just because Guo Baoyan likes plum blossoms like her mother, and most of her jewelry is carved into plum blossoms. Even her behavior looks like her mother, and she only laughs a little more than her mother. In the past, the Guo family invited banquets or went out to visit with her, and others joked whether she and Guo Baoyan were wrong when they were born.

For this reason, Guo Baozhu deliberately restrained her temperament for a while and tried to act like a lady from a family, but within a few days she couldn't hold on and felt uncomfortable all over. Guo Baozhu felt very aggrieved, and she was young at that time, so she couldn't help but run to her mother to cry and ask if she really had the wrong hug Guo Baoyan.

Mrs. Guo only asked her to observe Xu by herself to see if the two were similar.

Guo Baozhu stared at Xu for a few days. Xu was sour and stingy. Many women were polite to her on the surface. When Xu turned around, they sarcastically sarcastically. It is said that even her sister-in-law, Mrs. Hui'an, did not like this sister-in-law.

Guo Baozhu doubted whether Guo Baoyan also despised her biological mother, so she followed her mother everywhere.

At this time, Guo Baoyan asked, but Guo Baozhu didn't want to explain to her, so she casually said, "What are you not doing? Today is the sun. I'm here to bask in the sun. Sister, second aunt, come back to the house."

Guo Baoyan nodded: "Well, then you can stay for a while and go in. In the near future, there are shopkeepers from all the governments to deliver New Year's goods. People come and go on the streets, which makes people look bad. By the way, my aunt gave me a box of beads. It's a new look from Jiangnan. You can go to my place to pick two?"

Hu An Hou only received a false position in Guanglu Temple, but he was very smart. His business was particularly prosperous in several shops at home. Hu An Hou is a prominent family in Jiangnan. Although he does not have a high-ranking official at home, his family is well-off. I heard that the dowry shops are worth thousands of taels every year. The couple is rich.

The things that came out of the Hui'an Hou Mansion must be good things, but unfortunately Guo Baozhu is not interested in it. Her father loves her. She doesn't want anything she wants so that she won't go to other people's house to pick things up.

After dealing with it casually, Guo Baozhu lost the intention to continue talking to her, and her eyes turned to the entrance of the alley again.

When Xu saw this, he moved his mind and gave a wink at his daughter, smiling and said, "What are Baozhu looking at? Are there any sisters coming to play today?"

Guo Baozhu rolled her eyes quietly and was about to send her over casually, but a carriage suddenly turned around at the entrance of the alley in front. As the carriage turned into the alley, the man riding a horse next to the carriage also came into his eyes. He was wearing a jade crown, wearing a blue brocade robe with rain over the sky, and sitting on the horse with black boots. He looked more and more graceful in the cold wind. When he got closer, he had long eyebrows, phoenix eyes, face like a crown, jade lips like a pill, and was actually a rare beauty!

Guo Baozhu widened her eyes and pointed at the man on the horse: "Brother, are you an aunt?" Even though she forgot her childhood memories and had never even seen this aunt, just looking at his face that looked like Marquis Yanping, it was enough for her to be sure.

Zhao Chen tied the reins and smiled at the little girl standing alone in front of the door, "Baozhu?"

With this sound, Guo Baozhu almost jumped up excitedly, ran down happily, stopped in front of the man who had just turned over and got off the horse, looking at him unscrupulously, and couldn't help laughing, "Brother, why are you taller than my brother? You are obviously younger than him, and you, you are better-looking than your brother! That's great, finally someone has compared him! Ah, I'm just talking to you, sister-in-law, please come down and have a look!"

She smiled sincerely and called intimately, exactly like the little girl chattering in her memory. Zhao Chen felt a little confident. If only he came back by himself, he would not care too much about whether his relatives were good or bad. But if he had a wife, he still hoped that his wife would have a good partner. At present, Guo Baozhu should be counted as one.

He didn't look at the mother and daughter staring at them, turned around and walked to the carriage, raised the curtain and said, "Elder Mother, Aji, get off the carriage, Baozhu is here too."

Aji was a little nervous. Ning clapped her hand on the side. Aji nodded, lowered her head and leaned out of the carriage.

In front of the neat and quiet Marquis's house, a woman dressed in a vermilion-red jacket slowly poked out. When she raised her head, there was a circle of snow-white fox fur on her neck, and the ruby ​​earrings swaying in her ears made her cheeks look white and red. When she looked at the man in front of the carriage, the flowing light in her eyes instantly attracted the attention of the bystanders. When she lowered her eyes shyly, the natural delicate style made people look forward to her looking up again. When she put her slender hands on the man's slender and fair big hand and was held back by the man, the strength and weakness naturally fit together, and this man and woman also became a pair made of heaven.

Guo Baozhu looked at it blankly, and a kind of sweetness surged in her heart, sweetness for her aunt.

Guo Baoyan felt a different feeling, just like Yun Poyue's mood was brighter at the beginning, and it was covered in shadow again in a flash. She stared at the man like the moon who made her heart beat faster after just one glance, and then slowly looked at the woman beside him whose beauty was not concealed by his demeanor, and finally lowered her eyes.

The eldest son of Yanping Hou Mansion is like this.

She had never seen the Marquis of Yanping, but only knew that it was the most outstanding handsome man in the capital back then, which made the daughter of the Duke's Mansion go all out to marry. She once thought that Qin's family was superficial, but today she met the Zhao family man, and she suddenly understood Qin's feelings.

Men look so beautiful, like jewelry. It would be fine if they don’t have the ability to get it. If they have it, they will definitely find a way to get it.

Unfortunately, she was neither able to make her family background that she robbed people despite the criticism of the world, nor did she have the best chance of that girl. She met him early and married him. If, if she had met him early, would she have a chance?

Guo Baoyan glanced at the man again and sighed in her heart. Without if, she was destined to be out of reach of this man.

She quietly retreated behind her mother.

Xu walked up in surprise, interrupted Guo Baozhu's admiration for Aju, looked at Zhao Chen and asked, "You, are you Baozhu's aunt?" Zhao Chen's word was raised by Zhao Yunting when he was ten years old. Except for the Zhao family, others did not know about the person who had revealed in the conversation with Zhao Yunting, so Xu could only call him by relationships.

Zhao Chen nodded slightly as a response and introduced to Aji: "This is the second wife of the Yongchang Hou Mansion." He met Xu when he was a child, and even if he had never seen him, he could probably guess it.

Aji had already memorized the identity of a female relative who had been married to the Zhao family, and immediately met someone. Knowing that Xu was the type who did not need a close relationship, he bowed his blessing and greeted him with a smile: "Hello, second wife."

Xu took her hand and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, my niece-in-law was born so good. I can't find a second person in the capital. Baozhu called me second aunt, don't call me second wife, just follow Baozhu to call me second aunt." As he said that, he turned around and called Guo Baoyan over, "This is Sister Baozhu, nickname Baoyan. In the future, my niece-in-law is boring, so call Baoyan sisters over to talk to you." The Zhao family is a newcomer in the capital, and the limelight is in full swing.

"Sister Baoyan." Aji smiled and shouted, turned around and ordered Jinshu to bring the gift that had been prepared for Guo Baoyan, and took the opportunity to withdraw his hand: "If Sister Baoyan doesn't dislike her, she can come to me with Baozhu in the future."

Guo Baoyan smiled softly: "Well, I must go with Baozhu."

Xu immediately told me, "Niece-in-law, you are not from the capital, are you?" I heard that Zhao Chen has been living in the countryside, and she didn't know when he became a relative.

Aji Luoluo said generously: "Yes, I am from Dengzhou." Zhao Chen once lived in Dengzhou and no longer had to hide it from everyone.

After introducing himself, Aju introduced Ning's family.

Xu was shocked by Aji's identity, and was full of curiosity and didn't pay much attention to his mother. He also wanted to find out what Aji's family is doing. Guo Baozhu suddenly squeezed between the two, hugged Aji's arm and turned to Xu and said, "Second Aunt, my mother is still waiting inside. I'll take my aunt and the others in first."

Xu realized that this was not the time to inquire, and hurriedly said, "Go, go, your mother must have been thinking badly. The nephew of his relatives is usually indifferent, but in fact he is still thinking about it. Oh, don't be afraid when his niece-in-law meets your aunt later. She is cold and warm, and she doesn't smile much at Baozhu."

Aji Xiaoxiao did not respond. After accusing him of the crime, he turned around and followed Guo Baozhu into the Marquis' Mansion.

Jinshu followed her immediately, Jinmo stayed behind, staring at the little maids in the car behind him, and lined up in a row, then walked in.

Looking at the backs of the group, Xu said to the eldest maid beside him: "Send someone to find a maid later."

As for what to ask for, I certainly understand what I can do to be her maid.

On the way to the main courtyard, Guo Baozhu was whispering to Aju: "Sister-in-law, you don't have to pay attention to my second aunt. She is the most tragic. There are not many people in the capital who like her. And my sister, Humph, I can't find her fault, but I just don't like her. I will make it clear first. Even if I go to the Hou's Mansion to talk to my sister-in-law, I will not ask her to go with me."

This is considered a kind of self-contained speech. Aji was very happy that this sister liked her, so she whispered to her: "If you don't like it, don't call her, come here yourself." No one would dislike others for no reason. She didn't know what Guo Baoyan was like, at least it was not worth her to make trouble for Guo Baozhu for her.

Guo Baozhu looked up at her in surprise and grinned, a little thief.

The two of them whispered, and Zhao Chen, who was walking side by side with Ning, suddenly turned around and asked Guo Baozhu with a smile: "Who are you talking about bad things?"

Guo Baozhu's eyes were circling on the two of them, and he laughed and said, "I'm asking my sister-in-law why she can be married to you even when she lives in Dengzhou! Brother, what have you done over the years?" It doesn't look like she's going to stay there.

Zhao Chen smiled and said, "I told you together when I saw my aunt."

Guo Baozhu curled her lips, and saw that the woman wearing a hat in front of her also looked back at her, and became more curious about her aunt's experience. My aunt is too brave, so she dares to take her home after she recognizes her adopted mother?

While talking, after passing the Hanghuamen, he walked a while before he arrived at Mrs. Guo's Yuxue Hall.

In the middle of the yard, Mrs. Guo was walking out in a lilac moon dress. When both sides met, she slowly stopped and her eyes fixed on the woman walking side by side with Zhao Chen, looking at her hazy face under her veil, and her familiar figure.

She opened her mouth but failed to make a sound. A trace of confusion flashed in her eyes and tears floated.

Guo Baozhu thought she had read it wrong, so she blinked and even let go of her new sister-in-law's arm and walked in front, and then she really saw tears rolling down her mother's eyes.

When was the last time my mother cried?

It seemed that when she was very young, she woke up from her sleep, opened her eyes, and saw her mother lying beside her, in the dim tent, and her mother looked at the top of the bed, so quiet that she didn't seem to know that there were tears on her face.

Guo Baozhu always remembered that scene because it was the only time she saw her mother crying.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Guo Baozhu walked over quickly, but before she could take out the veil, Mrs. Guo had already taken a step back calmly, wiped her tears with her fingers casually, and said coldly: "It's good to come back, go to the house to sit." Before the voice fell, she had already turned back and walked calmly.

"Mom?" Zhao Chen reminded softly.

Ning came back to his senses, nodded, and followed him as he looked at the back that had not been seen in ten years.

My sister is five years older than her. My sister has been with her for ten years before getting married. Later, the two of them got married and never lived in the same house as before. Now, seeing each other is another ten years in between.

Very long?

That decade felt like it was long, but now I think about it, it seems like a dream.

After entering the room, Mrs. Guo said nothing. The maids had served tea. After receiving the gift from Aji and his wife, they asked their daughter to accompany the guests. She called Ning to the inner room.

"What the hell is going on?" Mrs. Guo asked expressionlessly while sitting on the couch.

Ning took off her hat, put it on the table, and then returned to her sister to sit down. Mrs. Guo still looked ahead, and Ning looked at her silently. When Mrs. Guo finally turned her head, she smiled and pulled her sister's hand and said, "I thought my sister would never want to see me again."

No one has seen such playfulness except the elders of the Ning family.

Mrs. Guo's tears fell again.

Although the Ning family was exiled, she, her husband and even Zhao Yunting secretly handled the matter. Life was harder, but they would not suffer too much. Only this sister disappeared early, and the dream at midnight made people feel heart-wrenching.

Ning handed the handkerchief to his sister, and Mrs. Guo took it and turned to wipe her tears, "You said."

Ning said things softly. Ten years have really become just a few words.

Her voice was calm, as if she was back when her sisters were talking about the people and affairs in the book before marriage. Mrs. Guo quickly stopped crying, listened quietly, and held her sister's hand.
