VI - Ho Fu
Guo Yingyue walked over, held her hand, and looked at it carefully: "Sister, I must have suffered a lot when I was alone all these years, right?" When you get married in the future, you will have to move around more, and our sisters will be close and close! Guo Yingyue is fourteen years old, and her family is already choosing a husband for her. Guo Jia looked at her with a smile: "My sister is about to get married, but I don't know who has such a good blessing!" Guo Yingyue let go of her hand and blushed a little embarrassedly: "Mother, you see that my sister is also teasing me!" Seeing that the two sisters had such a good relationship as soon as they met, Xu nodded silently. Guo Jiao pinched the handkerchief and watched coldly from the sidelines.
Aunt Jiang picked up the cup and covered the disdain in her eyes: "No matter how noble it is, you don't want to stammer us?" It's not as good as our concubines! ”
Xu listened to the two little girls talk for a while, and interjected: "Jia'er, you are a good boy. ”
Guo Jia didn't know why she suddenly said this, and asked, "Why did my aunt say this?" ”
Xu thought she was polite, and then said, "I know you're worried about Yu'er and Sheng'er. Look, you're going to get married in a short time. The two of them are small, and they have to take care of your father and eat and wear in the house. Don't worry, when you go out, I will send some people to your house to serve your father, and then take your younger siblings over, and send Yue'er to study at Mr. If you find a good family for Sheng'er, you can also give an explanation to your uncle, and you can rest assured! This is what your uncle commanded. You can rest assured! ”
Guo Jia understood, Xu must have thought that he had come this time to beg her to raise Guo Yue and Guo Sheng under Guo Min's door. She stood up and saluted: "My niece is grateful for the kindness of her uncle and aunt, and Jia'er understands it, but she can't do it." Jia'er came this time because she had something to present. After speaking, she took out the recommendation book in her sleeve.
"What is this?" Guo Qi was curious, stepped forward, helped Guo Jia up, took the recommendation book and unfolded it, and called out in surprise: "Mother, this, this is the recommendation!" Aunt Jiang didn't know what a recommendation was, she just pricked up her ears and looked around her neck.
Xu stood up in shock: "Take it quickly!" Guo Qi showed her, Xu looked at Guo Jia's sister and brother, and saw that the two of them had calm faces, without the slightest expression.
"Uncle, he..." Xu thought that Guo Wangzhi was asking for himself, but it turned out that he was narrow-minded, and he felt a little guilty in his heart, "This doesn't look like uncle's handwriting?" ”
Guo Yue stepped forward and saluted: "Back to my aunt, this is dictated by my father and ghostwritten by my nephew." Daddy thinks that Toshi's uncle is a rare talent, and if he takes the position of patriarch, he can make Daddy feel at ease. I also asked my aunt to accept it, which can be regarded as fulfilling my father's wish! ”
Xu Shi looked at him with some gratitude: "Okay! Good! Since the uncle looks up to your uncle Minzhi so much, my aunt will accept it on my behalf! ”
Guo Jia slowly spoke: "Daddy said that Uncle Minzhi is very courageous, and most importantly, he values affection and righteousness!" She bit the three words "love and righteousness" very hard, Xu Shi paused for a moment, looked at her, and saw that she was also looking at herself, with a pair of eyes that seemed to be smiling.
Xu's heart was shocked, all along, the old man has made many achievements in political affairs, and he can be regarded as a rare figure in the clan. It's just that those brothers talk about Guo Min's identity everywhere, and they don't know how many stumbling blocks they have made in the open. If she becomes the patriarch, not to mention suppressing them, she can at least raise her eyebrows, she is reminding herself to repay her kindness. It seems that this girl is not comparable to ordinary vulgar fans!
Guo Jia said that, and Ying Ying bowed at the moment: "There is still something at home for my niece, so I will leave." ”
Xu Shi stopped her: "Wait a minute, I'll ask the people below to prepare something, can you bring it back?" ”
Guo Jia bowed and excused herself: "Auntie, don't bother, you have prepared a lot of things." The niece will have a place to please the aunt in the future, but I hope that the aunt will not kick the niece out of the door, and the niece will be grateful! After speaking, Guo Jia slowly retreated. Everyone looked at her stumbling back, and they felt different emotions in their hearts.
The housekeeper respectfully guided the two out of the door, and the scene in front of him surprised Guo Yue: "Oh, sister, why are there so many things, when did my aunt prepare it, why didn't I pay attention?" Guo Jia touched his head and laughed softly: "As soon as I entered the door, Aunt Chen went to prepare." You, for these little things, you have to pay more attention in the future! Guo Yue smiled wryly. The housekeeper saw the two of them get into the carriage and go away, and then they entered the house and closed the door.
Steward Liu drove the carriage, and he was also very happy in his heart: "Miss, Madame has given us so many things, but we can compare to the one just now!" ”
Guo Jia scolded softly: "Steward Liu, don't discuss people's rights and wrongs." ”
Steward Liu didn't care, laughed, but stopped. However, he was still in a good mood, and even his steps with the horses were brisk.
Guo Jia hesitated for a while and ordered, "Steward Liu, let's change the route, let's go to He's house." Steward Liu wanted to speak and stopped, but he still went.
After walking for half an hour, the He family arrived.
Steward Liu stepped forward to call the door, and a servant came out to ask, Guo Jia said politely: "Please report, Guo's Ah Jia asks to see Mrs. He." ”
As soon as the servant announced, a stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the whole house exploded, and they all wanted to know what this future young lady of the He family looked like.
Mrs. He thought for a long time before ordering, "That's it, let her in." ”
He Tong'an, the eldest son of the He family, got the news and hurried from the inner courtyard. In a panic, he was afraid that he would surprise the beauty, so he had to hide behind the pillar and peek at his future wife.
The little guy poked his head at the door, and suddenly shouted: "Childe, someone is here!" People are coming! Seeing what he was doing, He Tongan hurriedly dragged him over and hid him behind him. Gradually, a pretty figure from far to near, only to see her shirt swaying lightly, slender hands, green silk half-pulled, pale green figure into the scenery after the rain. The lotus under the feet is like a painting. He Tong'an's position could only see her side face, her skin was like condensed fat, small cherry lips, and a pair of moist eyes, which made him unprecedentedly intoxicated.
"Young master, Miss Guo is already far away!"
"Wonderful! Wonderful! I'm ashamed of myself! He Tongan stood dumbfounded, secretly rejoicing that his name was really deserved, and his mouth was chattering freely, and the little guy couldn't bear to look at him so stupidly, so he took him back to the room half-pulled and half-coaxed.
"Guo Jia, meet Mrs. He." Guo Jia Yingying bowed.
"No need to be polite, please get up." Mrs. He knew that she was a beauty, and now she has the opportunity to look at her carefully, and the rumors outside her heart are true!
"Guo girl, let me ask you, what is your identity when you came here today? What about your eldest daughter, Guo Jiayan, or my daughter-in-law who has not passed through the door? ”
Guo Jia raised her head and looked at Mrs. He with a calm face: "Today, Ah Jia is not only the identity of my Guo family's eldest daughter, but also the identity of the He family's daughter-in-law. ”
Mrs. He's expression was grim: "Oh? Tell me about it. ”
Guo Jia bowed again, and her voice was choked: "Mrs. He, Guo Jia really can't hold on!" She raised her head, tears flashed in her eyes: "There have been too many changes in the family, Guo Jia is a little woman, she can withstand it for a while, and now she is indeed exhausted!" And please, my future mother-in-law, help us for my sake! ”
Mrs. He sneered: "This hasn't passed the door yet, even my mother-in-law has called out such words!" I also said how good the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion was, and now it seems that she is really a good girl who grew up in a nunnery! ”
Guo Jia's face was stunned, and she looked at her stupidly.
Mrs. He ignored her face and continued to speak leisurely: "There are some things that you have to explain clearly to your father. Anyway, now that Guo Mansion is in charge, although it is a little unreasonable, I can only tell you. Our He family is so glorious, and we will definitely not marry the daughter of a declining prime minister! ”
When the second aunt of the He family who rushed to the door after hearing the news, she happened to hear this sentence, and she was shocked in her heart, and she heard Guo Jia ask: "Madam, we have a marriage contract..."
"Naturally, the marriage contract is numbered. However, a slight change is required. Guo Shi Jia, now I will give you two choices. ”
"What, what?"
"The first one, you marry An'er as a noble concubine."
Guo Jia's heart trembled: This He family! How to use a wife as a concubine!
The second aunt of the He family was also frightened, and whispered: "Madam, this... is a little unruly, right?" ”
Mrs. He glanced at the second aunt, and then said: "The second way, marry Liang'er as a wife." "He Tongliang is the second son of He Fu, but he is from the second aunt. The second aunt's eyes lit up: I didn't expect Liang'er to have the opportunity to marry the noble eldest daughter, such good luck, Mrs. is not treated lightly! Thinking in his heart, he looked at Guo Jia carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became, and he only hoped that she would choose the second path.
