Chapter 97

On the day when the Guo family was inviting guests on the 8th day of the lunar month, Ning came to Wangzhuxuan early to pick up his granddaughter: "You go, Cancan is still young, stay at home with me, and then go to visit relatives when the spring is warm."

Aji was very surprised, "Why don't you go?" The Guo family did not post a post to their father-in-law, but invited their mother-in-law.

Ning looked at his son and daughter-in-law who had already packed up and smiled softly: "Chengyuan knows that I have never liked the excitement. Usually, it's nothing for our family to visit each other. Today's day, I'm lazy. You guys go quickly, I'll take Cancan to my side."

The child is urinating too much, and it is indeed inconvenient to take him over. Aji helped Ning wrap his daughter with a scrambler. When the grandparents and grandchildren took the wet nurse away, Aji looked at Zhao Chen with some concern: "If my mother doesn't go, will my aunt be unhappy?"

"No, my aunt might have expected that she knows her mother better than us." Zhao Chen took the cloak handed over by Madam Jiang and tied it for his wife himself. "I couldn't imagine it before. Seeing you and Azhu getting along, I guess my aunt and mother are almost the same in private."

When talking about his sister, Aji thought of something, "Why don't we go to our house first and we go together?" His own door is too low, and it is inevitable that he will be guided by others when he is a guest. It would be better if he is with them, but this will obviously benefit from the Zhao family. If Aji had just gotten married, he would definitely not have such an idea. Now...

She looked at Zhao Chen with a smile, knowing that he would agree.

His wife no longer treats him as an outsider. Zhao Chen couldn't ask for it and lowered his head and kissed her.

When the couple passed by, the four of the Lin family were about to set off. When they met, they exchanged a few simple greetings and went to the Guo Mansion together. When they arrived at the Guo Mansion, Zhao Chen was behind Lin Xian and accompanied him to the main courtyard. Lin Chongjiu followed him obediently, while Aji took his mother and sister to the back.

They were their relatives, and they were the first to come. There were not many customers. Guo Baozhu was checking how the dried fruits of desserts were placed everywhere. Seeing them, she immediately came over happily and greeted them one by one.

Liu's Aji gave her a Feng Hong respectively.

Guo Baozhu smiled and thanked her, and handed it to the little maid Jin Gui to collect it. She led the three of them to see her mother.

Not long after, the guests arrived one after another. Because it was cold in winter, there was no beautiful scenery in the garden. Both the ladies and the girls of each province chose to sit in the warm pavilion and taste tea and chat with each other.

The two sisters Aji sat next to Liu. Liu was a little restrained, but her appearance was quite beautiful. She had a simple jade hairpin on her head and a autumn-scented jacket. She was gentle and dignified, and her eyebrows and eyes were very friendly. Needless to say, everyone here knew Aji, and Lin Zhu, who was sitting next to her, was very lively and smart, and she was no less than her sister!

Just looking at the appearance, you can guess the relationship between the three.

The far-far ladies whispered, and the closest ones praised Liu directly: "Mrs. Lin is so lucky. It is really enviable to have such two fairy-like daughters. The eldest girl was taken first by Lord Zhao early. Could the second girl say that she was? If not, I would like to make a name for my nephew..."

Several ladies said such words frankly or tactfully.

In fact, they were all polite words. Liu did not take it too seriously. He humbly belittled his daughter and then praised the girl around him.

Mrs. Guo Er listened at a distance, but her heart felt like she was jealous.

She secretly looked at the three Liu family mother and daughter, sour and jealous, and her eyes looked particularly complicated at Lin Zhu. Isn’t a country girl just her brother-in-law a higher status? How could she compare to her daughter in her whole body? But the wives were blind and were all thinking about hiking over there, leaving her baby cigarettes.

Thinking of his daughter, Xu felt sad again.

My daughter is sixteen years old. Not that no one has mentioned it in the past two years, but they are all small officials, or even a family of titles that are strong outside and middle-aged. She has seen it personally and is not very satisfied with it. She doesn't ask for a promising son-in-law like the eldest son of the Yanping Marquis' Mansion, but it can't be too bad, right?

Xu looked around and saw that Mrs. Guo was called outside by a maid. She turned her eyes and got up and chased her out, "Sister-in-law, where are you going? If you need any help, just say that they are all a family, don't be polite to me."

Mrs. Guo didn't want to pay attention. After walking a few steps, she saw Xu following her side constantly, so she stopped and asked her coldly: "What do you want to say?" The two of them have been sisters-in-law for so many years, and their relationship has long been broken. Xu is so passionate, and it is obvious that she has no other intentions.

Xu was a little embarrassed, but she was also used to Mrs. Guo’s straightforwardness. She looked back at the direction of the warm pavilion and whispered: “Today those ladies are praising the second girl of the Lin family. My sister-in-law felt uncomfortable when she heard it? Baozhu is sixteen, so my sister-in-law would rather ask the Lin family less in the future. The second girl looks too outstanding. The female family just cared about watching her and forgot about our Baozhu’s goodness.”

He looked sincere, as if he was sincere for his niece's goodness.

Mrs. Guo only found it funny. This sister-in-law really regarded others as a fool. Who wouldn't see that little thoughts?

Mrs. Guo was lazy to be polite to her, and said as she walked forward: "Baozhu is a stubborn person. I wanted to stay with her for two more years. She can get along with Azhu, and maybe she can make a better change. The marriage is not urgent. Besides, Baoyan is the eldest, Baoyan hasn't said he is kissing yet, so Baozhu is not good to make a decision first. Brothers and sisters should pay more attention to Baoyan's candidates."

A few words hit Xu's sore spot.

"I can't get married in my whole life. I see if you're anxious at that time!" Xu spat at Mrs. Guo who was walking away. He grabbed the handkerchief with hatred and walked towards the garden. Guo Baoyan took two friends to play in the garden. She had to find the people and show up in front of the guests. Only when those people arranged marriages for their nephews would they think of her.

Unexpectedly, when I was about to walk to the path leading to the garden, I met Lin Zhu pulling Guo Baozhu towards the rockery. What was rare is that Guo Baozhu's face turned red!

That girl was shameless, when did she blush?

Xu's heart moved, and he used the trees beside the road to hide his body and slowly moved towards the other direction of the rockery.

"Have you ever met Ji Zhao again when you went out these days?" Lin Zhu held Guo Baozhu's arm and asked with a low smile, "We are the only one here, don't pretend in front of me. If you don't have any thoughts about Ji Zhao, why are you blushing? I want me to say that Ji Zhao is not bad, life is good and courageous..."

Hearing this, Guo Baozhu couldn't help but sneer: "He is also brave. He ran away when he saw my brother. I have never seen him so useless. It's really embarrassing his father!"

"Your brother looks fierce. Isn't Ji Zhao running away and waiting for the beating? Besides, he is so timid that he dares not call you Baozhu in front of your brother." Lin Zhu spoke for Ji Zhao. Seeing that Guo Baozhu was a little distracted, she covered her lips and smiled secretly, and walked away two steps: "'Eat more Baozhu, order whatever you like,' how intimate you shout..."

"Let's talk about it!" Guo Baozhu was so angry that she chased after her and wanted to hit her. Of course, Lin Zhu didn't want to be beaten, so she ran away while laughing.

The laughter and noise gradually faded away, and the rockery returned to tranquility.

Xu was still hiding behind a rock, looking at a plum tree in front of him and became stunned.

It seems that Guo Baozhu was actually attracted to?

Ji Zhao... Could it be the crown prince of the Zhongyi Marquis' Mansion?

The Marquis of Ji's family was the general of Fujian, and he was an important official. The Marquis's mansion was small and it was a rare good marriage. Why did he fall in love with Guo Baozhu? Judging from what Guo Baozhu meant, he actually disliked Ji Zhao's bad luck?

"Mom, what are you doing standing there?"

With a familiar voice, Xu came to his senses and saw his daughter Guo Baoyan standing on the path over there, with a plum-red jacket and a plain-colored pleated skirt, just like a flower bud blooming in the early twelfth lunar month of winter, beautiful and vivid, and looks a bit similar to Guo Baozhu.

A thought suddenly appeared in Xu's mind. I wonder if Prince Ji would be moved when he saw his daughter?

How could she not be moved? Her Baoyan is much more popular than that crazy girl.
