Cai nodded: "It's okay." Let's take a break. ”

So the men in the carriage got off their horses one after another, and walked to the tea soup shop on the side to eat snacks. The ladies stayed quietly in the carriage, waiting for the servants to come forward and serve.

A carriage pulled out of the city, but when it came to Xu's convoy, it slowly stopped. Seeing this, Cai's heart couldn't help but wonder who would pick up his group, and he didn't react for a while that it would be Guo Jia's third sister and brother.

Guo Jia lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage first, and then Guo Sheng and Guo Yue also got out of the carriage one after another. The third sibling respectfully walked up to Cai and looked at her with a smile.

Guo Jia led the two of them to salute, and said happily: "Niece Guo Jia, Guo Sheng, nephew Guo Yue, I have seen my aunt!" ”

Cai Shi was overjoyed, hurriedly helped the three of them up, and said, "You just wait in the city, why do you need to come outside the city to greet you in person?" Hurry, hurry up! ”

After that, she looked at them one by one, and she couldn't hide her joy in her mouth: "This is Yue'er, right?" I haven't seen you for a few years, and I've grown into a big guy! Sheng'er too, you used to have to be hugged by your aunt, but now you are more and more beautiful! She turned to look at Guo Jia, looked Guo Jia up and down, and was also amazed in her heart, but it's a pity, it's already so big, but there is no personal home!

Cai Shi put all the pity in his eyes, still with a smile on his face, and said, "This is Jia'er, right?" You are so similar to your mother! ”

Guo Jia smiled: "Uncle said the same!" ”

At this time, with a bang, the curtain of Cai's carriage was slammed open, and Guo Jia looked back, only to see a fourteen or fifteen-year-old, neatly dressed girl looking at herself curiously.

The girl asked Guo Jia, "Have you seen my father?" ”

Guo Jia said with a smile: "I saw it a few days ago. ”

The girl sighed: "What a pity! Why is Daddy in such a hurry, his daughter hasn't seen him for two years......"

Cai smiled and said to her: "Quick, Jiao'er come over and say hello to your sister!" ”

"Okay!" Xu Jiao jumped out of the carriage and walked over to Guo Jia and the others generously. Only then did the three sisters and brothers see that Xu Jiao was playing with a long horsewhip in her hand!

Xu Jiao clenched her hands into fists like a man. said to Guo Jia: "Little sister Xu Jiao, I've seen my cousin!" Met my cousin! I've seen my cousin! ”

Cai's soft reprimand: "Why don't you look like a girl!" ”

Xu Jiao smiled coquettishly: "The children of the Xu family must be eclectic!" Cousin, did you say yes? ”

The corners of Guo Yue's mouth twitched. Said: "Yes! Cousin is really ...... Eclectic! ”

Guo Jia glanced at the carriage behind him and asked Cai, "Where is the grandfather?" "My grandfather is Xu Guogong.

Cai's face darkened, and she said, "We have only been out of Beijing for a short time, and your grandfather has been sick for half a year. He passed away, but he was worried that your father was not good, and I didn't know which uncle you were with, so I didn't give you any news. ”

Guo Jia listened and said: "Uncle Xu has just returned to Beijing and has never known that our three sisters and brothers still live in the old mansion and have never followed any uncle. ”

Cai Shi was a little surprised, but then she figured out something and said, "It's okay like this, it's okay like this!" ”

At this time. The rest of the carriages also came down to meet the three sisters and brothers when they heard the movement, and when they saw them one by one, they talked about the old days, and more than half an hour had passed.

Guo Jia couldn't remember so many people for a while, so she said to Cai: "My aunt must be tired after a long journey, right?" It's better to go into town early and make plans again! ”

Cai nodded in approval. So the group got into the carriage again, and each entered Beijing with different moods. Guo Jia's three sisters and brothers rode in their own carriage and followed the end of the carriage not far away.

Xu Song had asked the servants to clean up the courtyard earlier, and the Xu family had just arrived home. Seeing that there was no clutter in the courtyard, even Cai's room was restored to its original state, which made Cai's eyes red.

Guo Jia silently praised Xu Song in his heart: Thinking about it so carefully, it is really an iron man and tenderness!

The saint is a gesture of condolences to the families of the generals on the front line. A special palace banquet was held, and the Xu family was invited to the palace early in the morning of the second day, and the families of many other ministers were also invited to accompany them.

The last time the prime minister's wife had a birthday party, Guo Jia was able to attend it only because of the Xu family's favor. But this time it is different, with the name of the eldest daughter of the "Faithful Marquis", Guo Jia can take Guo Sheng and Guo Yue to any banquet venue generously. You don't have to travel with anyone.

Guo Jia actually didn't want to participate in these banquets from the bottom of her heart, she was staggered, you came and went, but she didn't know what dirty eyes she was playing with in private.

However, in the past, I might have been able to do things willfully, but now it is different. She wants to take advantage of the opportunity she can get to earn a good future for Guo Yue and Guo Sheng!

The next day, Cai invited Guo Jia to go with him, but Guo Jia politely refused.

Cai is the protagonist of the palace banquet, although he bears the name of Guo Wangzhi's "loyal marquis", but he can't really be so ignorant!

When the Xu family came to invite her, Guo Jia took Guo Sheng and Guo Yue and went happily with Guo Yingyue.

The saint can be regarded as giving enough face to the Xu family, and there is a palace banquet, but there are also high and low levels. This time, it was presided over by the queen herself, and the specifications of the palace banquet were also the highest.

Therefore, when Cai and Ma led all the Xu juniors on the long red carpet paved road, the two looked at each other and were a little flattered. On the other hand, Xu Jiao and her two brothers didn't have any expressions. Xu Jiao is even more so, under the solemn palace walls, she can smile innocently. Cai gently tugged at her several times, but Xu Jiao just didn't notice it.

The banquet was still divided between men and women. However, because the children of the Xu family were the children of meritorious heroes, they followed the Cai family to accept the reward in front of the queen, and did not avoid suspicion.

Guo Jia's three sisters and brothers are very low-key. is also because of the low status of the three - although Guo Wangzhi was posthumously sealed, he was only a deposed minister after all, so Guo Jia and Guo Sheng's positions were arranged in the corner, which was not eye-catching. The same is true for Guo Yue. He sat in the corner on the side of the man, and suffered all kinds of snubs from other nobles. But he doesn't care, anyway, he has never liked these boring occasions, and he is used to seeing the faces of these people.

Later, when the queen saw that the table was deserted, she suddenly changed her mind. She instructed her grandmother beside her to go down, added many more seats, and invited all the male guests over. (To be continued.) )

PS: Haha, I'm staying up late for you!
