After breakfast and continuing on the road, Yu Mingzhi collected a few books from the bookstall next to the inn to pass the boring time on the road, and after ignoring Qin Ji beside her, she found that the time passed much faster.

Just a few days later, the carriage entered the capital.

Yu Mingzhi heard the soldiers guarding the city asking as usual, Qin Ji slightly lifted the corner of the curtain, and the people outside immediately let him go. The carriage did not go to the Qin Mansion, but turned directly to the Guo Mansion in the other direction. Guo Chang, who learned the news in advance, stood in front of his house with tears in his eyes, and when he saw the carriage of the Qin family, he excitedly greeted him, and kept calling "Baozhi" in his mouth.

Yu Mingzhi had almost brewed his feelings in the car, but after hearing Guo Chang's voice, he couldn't help but think of his biological father, and his tears suddenly couldn't be contained.

"Daddy. She almost rushed out of the carriage and threw herself into the arms of Guo Chang, who opened his arms.

In her mind, the person in front of her transformed into a real father, holding her as before, smiling and calling "Mingzhi".

She closed her eyes, cried and laughed, and when Guo Chang cried in the street, the onlookers were touched, and wiped the corners of their eyes from time to time after talking. Two sharp-eyed young men glanced at Qin Ji, who was standing behind the eldest lady of the Guo family, and left quietly.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back. Guo Chang took out a handkerchief to wipe away the tears of his long-lost "daughter", and forced a smile, "Come, go home with Daddy, your yard, Daddy has always kept it." ”

"Hmm. Yu Mingzhi nodded obediently, like a virtuous and gentle lady in the boudoir, hanging her head slightly, following behind Guo Chang with small steps, and walking up the steps in front of Guo's house.

"Treasure Branch. A beautiful and kind smile appeared in front of her, took her other hand affectionately, rubbed it carefully, and then said with a look of pity: "Look at our thin branches, we have to make up for it when we come home." ”

Yu Mingzhi had never seen this woman, but he had heard Qin Ji mention that after the death of Guo Baozhi's biological mother, Guo Chang married a stepfamily surnamed Yao and had a fifteen-year-old daughter Baoyun and a seven-year-old son Baoqian, so he was deeply favored by Guo Chang, and even refused to take a concubine for her. The husband and wife run the house together, Qin Se and Ming, which makes relatives and friends envious.

It is said that after the disappearance of her eldest daughter, it was also Yao's who had been encouraging and supporting Guo Chang, a positive ordinary daughter, and her relatives and neighbors praised her virtuous and kind.

From this point of view, she is really a kind and kind stepmother.

But—

"Daddy, why do I think she doesn't look like her sister at all?"

A delicate voice suddenly interjected at this time.

Guo Chang's eyes flashed with anger, and he couldn't help but clench the hand of this fake daughter, and shouted: "Baoyun, don't talk nonsense!

Guo Baoyun was smiling, and under the gaze of her mother, she stepped forward and grabbed her father's other arm, "Look at Daddy's nervousness, my daughter is just teasing you." She beckoned to Yu Mingzhi again, "Sister, you are finally back, and our sisters can be companions again in the future." ”

"Okay. Yu Mingzhi smiled and agreed, playing the role of the eldest lady of the Guo family in a proper manner.

Guo Chang breathed a sigh of relief and said: "How can you joke like this, don't mess around in the future!"

"Okay, okay. Guo Baoyun shook his father's arm, and with this movement, his gaze naturally drifted behind him and landed on Qin Ji's body.

After a tiring journey, the dusty people stood there, still handsome and graceful, like a pearl in the world, making it difficult to take their eyes off.

She glanced at it greedily twice, but Qin Ji noticed it instantly and glanced at it lightly.

This glance seems ordinary, but there is a murderous aura.

Guo Baoyun was startled, and hurriedly turned his head, thinking that Qin Ji was worthy of being an important minister in the court, and his momentum was more than ordinary people.

But those slender eyes are really beautiful.

The thoughts of the youngest daughter's family made her cheeks stain a hint of crimson, and she bit her lip lightly, and endured the joy that welled up in her heart.

This small gesture happened to fall in the eyes of Yu Mingzhi, who glanced at him inadvertently, and sighed slightly.

"Daddy, you forgot the Qin Sheren outside the door. Guo Baoyun reminded softly.

Guo Chang paused, hurriedly let go of the second daughter's hand, and took Yu Mingzhi back to ask Qin Ji to enter the door together.

Guo Baoyun glanced at his empty hands, then looked at the three people standing in one place, and lowered his head in disappointment. Yao stepped forward to take her hand, and said with a soft smile: "Baoyun, why don't you welcome the benefactor into the house with your father and sister?"

She tugged lightly, and then returned to her face with a smile and came to Xianggong's side, and bowed to Qin Ji together.

"Bao Yun has seen the people of Qin She. ”

"No need to be polite. Qin Ji said politely, his eyes always falling on Yu Mingzhi's body.

Guo Baoyun said with a smile: "My sister and my future brother-in-law have a deep affection, which makes my sister envious." ”

Guo Chang secretly observed the words and deeds of the second daughter, and saw that she was no longer abnormal, thinking that he was too careful, after all, a person of their status had only a dead end in front of the Qin Sheren.

He said respectfully to Qin Ji: "Qin Sheren go into the house to have a cup of tea before leaving?"

Qin Ji shook his head, "The son-in-law still has official business, and after he finishes it, he will come to greet his father-in-law." ”

Guo Chang saw that he was humble and polite, and thought that this time the help was really worth it.

Qin Ji took Yu Mingzhi's hand, "Wait until I come to see you again, Zhizhi." ”

Guo Baoyun glanced at her "sister", and a trace of resentment flashed from her apricot eyes.

Guo Chang sent Qin Ji away, and a family of four happily entered the door and sat down. Yao sent someone to prepare tea and pastries, and asked kindly: "It's all made according to the taste of Baozhi when he was a child, I wonder if Baozhi still likes it after so many years?"

"Thank you mother, I like it. Yu Mingzhi obediently picked up a piece of hibiscus cake, even though he didn't like the taste, he still ate it one bite at a time.

Guo Chang smiled and nodded, although this daughter is fake, but according to the meaning of Qin Sheren, family harmony is the most important, and now his wife thinks about the eldest daughter everywhere, and the eldest daughter is well-behaved and obedient, so she can rest assured. He said to Yao: "You bothered. ”

Yao covered his mouth with a handkerchief, his eyes full of smiles, "I have raised Baozhi for several years before, and I have long been in love with my own mother and daughter." Worrying about Baozhi is what a mother should do. ”

Yu Mingzhi glanced at the Guo couple who were loving and laughing, silently ate the hibiscus cake, and then drank half a cup of Pu'er.

According to Qin Ji, only Guo Chang knows the truth, and Yao's mother and son don't know it, but there are many people in the house, so they still have to continue to play the scene of the father-daughter reunion.

"Daddy, how have you been doing lately?" she rubbed her already red eyes.

"Good, all right. Guo Chang held Yao's hand and sighed with emotion, "Fortunately, your mother takes care of you." Now that you're back, we're happy and reunited. ”

Yao said: "It's a pity that Baozhi will get married soon after he comes back." She sighed and asked her father-in-law, "Can't you marry again in half a year and a year?" I want to accompany Baozhi more to make up for the shortcomings of these years. ”
