West Lake, goodbye!

Lin Zhao said goodbye to Hangzhou, where he stayed for a year and a half, and embarked on the road back to the north! Since his rebirth, he has been running around all over the world, but he has been in Hangzhou for the longest time, and he has developed a different kind of affection for this place.

From Hangzhou to Jiangning, it is very convenient to pass by water, and the voyage does not take too long, and it will return to Jiangning in a few days.

It had been almost a year and a half since he saw his uncle, and Lin Zhao really missed them, so after getting off the boat from the dock, he went straight to Mengfu. As for the unpleasantness in Hangzhou, he left it all behind.

Knowing that Lin Zhao had returned, Mrs. Meng and Gu Qi and his wife were very excited, and the Meng family had a rare reunion, even more lively than the New Year. Maybe for him, it's the New Year!

"Old lady, uncle!" When he came back, Lin Zhao found that the old people in the family were waiting at the door and looking forward to it, this feeling of being cared for was so good, it couldn't help but make people's hearts move, and their noses couldn't help but feel a little sour.

"Zhao'er, just come back!" Gu Qi looked at his nephew, and couldn't help but burst into tears, he hadn't seen his nephew for a long time, and he really missed it.

Lin Zhao saw that his uncle was not yet forty years old, but his sideburns had already had a little more gray hair, and he didn't know if it was because he was working hard or because he missed himself. All in all, Lin Zhao's heart was even more sour.

Mrs. Meng can fully understand this mood, but she is overjoyed, and her tears are inevitably a little disappointing, and she immediately said: "It's good to come back, we are happy today!" ”

Only then did everyone stop their tears of longing and excitement, and burst into laughter. At this time, Aunt Liu and a maid walked up with two children in their arms.

After Lin Zhao saw it, he immediately smiled and said, "Ah, the two little guys are already so big!" ”

Wanyan Aguta, that is, Xiao Yan Gu was born on the first day of August in the first year of Xining, and he is almost two years old. may be because he inherited the genes of his father's Wanyan impeachment, and he was born extraordinarily thick since he was a child, and he looks no different from ordinary three or four-year-old children.

Gu Dongping is just one and a half years old, and he looks relatively thinner, but he looks whiter and fatter, and his small eyes keep rolling, looking even cuter!

"Brother......

"Brother......

The two guys were babbling, and they didn't know much about life, and they had a natural affinity for Lin Zhao. In addition, in Pingyue, adults often mention Lin Zhao, the two little guys seem to know each other, and they shout with their teeth and claws when they meet.

Lin Zhao smiled when he saw this, and immediately stretched out his hand, and the two little guys rushed to come over, and Lin Zhao picked up the two children with one left and one right.

The two little guys seemed to be very curious about this cousin, and their little hands kept groping on Lin Zhao's body, which was very intimate. Such a harmonious scene was full of joy, and everyone's faces were full of smiles.

After meeting, several elders saw the beautiful woman behind Lin Zhao!

Mrs. Meng is an understanding person, and said with a smile: "Let's go in and talk about it, it's hot outside!" ”

In the hall, after several old people sat down, Lin Zhaocai smiled and said, "Old lady, uncle, aunt, this is Sihong!" ”

Mu Sihong immediately stepped forward and bowed down, and said, "Mu Sihong has seen the old lady, uncle, and aunt!" ”

The ugly daughter-in-law wants to see her in-laws after all, Mu Sihong is both nervous and excited! However, the emotions have been well controlled, and the performance is dignified and generous, and it is very decent!

Several old people had already heard Meng Ruoying talk about it before, and they knew that the person in front of them was Lin Zhao's concubine Mu Sihong in Hangzhou. A woman with outstanding looks and beautiful feelings. Although it is from the land of wind and dust, it gives people a very upright and polite feeling when they meet, and the demeanor is down-to-earth and generous, and the first impression is very good. In addition, he sacrificed his life to save Lin Zhao, and it seems that he is also affectionate and sweet, so he will naturally not be rejected in his heart.

Lin Zhao sneered and said, "Uncle, aunt, Sihong is my ...... in Hangzhou." I never had a chance to come back to see you, and without your permission, I made my own decisions! ”

Aunt Liu didn't speak, but the smile on her face was already a clear answer. Mrs. Meng is also kind and smiling, this person is comparable to her granddaughter in terms of talent and appearance. However, birth is a major limitation, and the status in the future is always inferior to that of granddaughters. The most important thing is that Mrs. Meng can see that the relationship between Mu Sihong and her granddaughter seems to be very harmonious, which is naturally the best.

Gu Qi smiled and nodded: "Okay, as long as you are good, just love each other in the future!" ”

"Thank you, uncle!" Mu Sihong knew very well that Gu Qi was at this point, and he would officially enter the Lin family.

Subsequently, Mu Sihong served tea to several old people and officially became a good daughter-in-law! Of course, her identity is doomed, and she can only be a concubine. The background is there, and it is impossible to become a regular wife or a flat wife.

But Mu Sihong doesn't care, as long as she can stay with Lin Zhi, her reputation doesn't matter.

Seeing this situation, Meng Ruoying couldn't help but look up at Lin Zhao, full of hints, and at the same time couldn't help but be a little shy.

Lin Zhao coughed, cleared his throat and said, "Old lady, my uncle and aunt are here, and I have something to say today...... I'll get straight to the point! ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it!" Old Madam Meng seemed to know what to expect.

Lin Zhao said: "In the past two years, Ruoying and I have been running a business together for a long time...... I have been in love for a long time, so I want to implore the old lady to marry Ruoying to me......"

Talking about the affair in person and proposing to the other party's parents, Lin Zhao is also doing it for the first time, and he is somewhat embarrassed. Actually, he didn't notice that Meng Ruoying was even more shy and shy!

Although it is not very clear, the meaning has been well expressed!

It was completely expected, Old Madam Meng smiled, turned to look at Gu Qidao, "Ah Qi, how do you think my family Ruoying is your nephew and daughter-in-law?" ”

"As long as the old lady agrees, she naturally can't ask for it!" Gu Qi's face was also full of smiles, there were two more "daughters-in-law" in one day, not to mention that they were both talented and beautiful, beautiful and moving women, such a blessing, Gu Qi was really happy.

Mrs. Meng looked at her granddaughter intently and asked, "Ruoying, what do you mean?" ”

When it comes to her marriage, Meng Ruoying is already shy, and her pretty face will be even more crimson! Said shyly: "I can't ...... until the expiration of the filial piety period for my brother."

Although it is not explicitly stated, the implication is clear.

Mrs. Meng still doesn't understand her granddaughter's thoughts, and the two of them together can be regarded as a talented and beautiful woman, a match made in heaven.

More importantly, he knows Lin Zhao well, and the relationship between his granddaughter and him is also very affectionate. Lin Zhao is young and promising, so he will not insult the lintel of the Meng family, and his granddaughter can be happy!

Old Madam Meng said: "In this way, I will hand over Ruoying to you!" After his brother's mourning, you will be married. ”

"Thank you, Grandmother!"

Meng Ruoying pondered for a moment and said: "Ruogu has gone, there is no male in the Meng family, I originally wanted to recruit a son-in-law for Ruoying and continue the incense...... Now it seems that there is no need, I will have a child for Wakaya from the clan, but I still need your teaching and help! ”

Before this, Mrs. Meng did have such thoughts, maybe before, Lin Zhao's status was low, and letting him join the Meng family was also a kind of promotion. But now, Lin Zhao is already a dignified county magistrate, which is a glorious status that the ancestors of the Meng family have never had. What's more, Lin Zhao's family suffered a flood in the early years, and several brothers died, and he was the only son in the family, where could he get involved casually?

Even if one of Lin Zhao and Meng Ruoying's child is surnamed Meng, it is not appropriate, you must know that it is a great taboo for children to follow their mother's surname in ancient times. What's more, according to the current trend, Meng Ruoying is Lin Zhao's wife, and it is impossible to give her sister-in-law a surname. After thinking about it, Mrs. Meng thought of such a compromise!

Lin Zhao smiled: "Grandmother, don't worry, everything is with us!" ”

Mrs. Meng smiled: "Yes, with you here, I can rest assured, even if I die, I can be blinded!" This idea is absolutely true, since the death of her grandson, all the hopes of Mrs. Meng's life have been placed on her granddaughter Meng Ruoying. Now that her granddaughter has a good home, Mrs. Meng can be said to have no worries.

Meng Ruoying immediately said: "Grandmother, what are you talking about......

"yes!" Lin Zhao immediately said: "Your body is still very strong, take good care of your body, at least wait to hold your great-grandson and watch him grow up!" ”

One sentence immediately made Mrs. Meng laugh, hugging her great-grandson, this is the joy of old family! Mrs. Meng said: "Since this is the case, then I will wait for the good news!" ”

Gu Qi also laughed, Meng Ruoying's face was crimson, and she was shy. Inadvertently, Mu Sihong's expression on the side was also slightly unnatural, it has been more than half a year, and her stomach still hasn't moved, she is really in a hurry, this time I must find a famous doctor to take a good look at Bianjing.

Gu Yuelun said with a smile: "Okay, this time it's really a family!" ”

This is a very festive day for the Lin family and the Meng family.

The marriage between Lin Zhao and Meng Ruoying was thus decided, and Mu Sihong's status was also confirmed.

Of course, the Meng family was full of lights and celebrations, and a real reunion family banquet was held.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After the feast, Lin Zhao first placed a few beauties to rest, and then came to Gu Qi's courtyard.

I haven't talked to my uncle for a long time, Lin Zhao feels guilty, this stay in Jiangning is only a very short time, it is always good to spend more time with my uncle, and it can be regarded as a filial piety.

The summer nights are a little hot, and occasionally a gust of evening breeze blows, bringing a little coolness. Aunt Liu went to the room to coax the two children to sleep, while Gu Qi stood in the courtyard to enjoy the coolness!

Lin Zhao entered the courtyard, only to see Gu Qi looking up at the starry sky, and he was leisurely distracted.

"Uncle!"

"Zhao'er, you're here!" Only then did Gu Qi come back to his senses and look at Lin Zhao with loving eyes.

"What is my uncle looking at?" Lin Zhao asked with a smile.

Gu Qidao: "You have grown up, you have started a family, your parents have spirits in the sky, you will be very happy to see it!" ”

At the mention of his parents, Lin Zhao couldn't help but move slightly, and couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart. At the same time, I remembered Cai Jing's words when I left Hangzhou!

Lin Zhao asked, "Uncle, what kind of people are my parents?" ”

"Your father is very kind, and your mother is virtuous and virtuous......" Gu Qi was still repeating his past rhetoric!

"Do I look like my father or my mother?" Lin Zhao had a flash of inspiration in his mind and asked softly.

Gu Qidao: "Your body is slightly stronger than your father, and as for your appearance, your eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to your mother!" ”

Lin Zhao's appearance is plump and handsome, and between his eyebrows and eyes vaguely reveals a bit of beauty similar to that of a woman, and his appearance is certain with his mother.

"It's a bit similar, uncle!" Lin Zhao didn't seem to give up and continued to ask.

Gu Qidao: "There are five or six points of similarity between the eyebrows and eyes...... In fact, it's not how close the appearance is, but it looks like there is that sense of déjà vu! ”

"Oh......" Lin Zhao began to be silent, Cai Jing saw a layman in Yingtianfu, could it be ...... But my uncle once clearly said that his parents died!

Lin Zhao asked, "Uncle, when did my mother pass away?" Does she have any other sisters alive? ”

"When you were only a few months old, your mother died, and there were no other sisters...... Gu Qi said, starting to be a little vigilant, why did the nephew ask about this again?

Lin Zhao thought for a moment and said bluntly: "A friend told me that he had seen a layman in a nunnery outside Yingtianfu, and his appearance was somewhat similar to mine......

"What?" Gu Qi was taken aback, and immediately asked, "Where did you say?" ”

"Ying Tianfu!" Lin Zhao repeated.

Ying Tianfu? Gu Qi muttered to himself, his expression suddenly changed! Back then, I was in Yingtianfu, watching my sister fall into the water, and in such a turbulent water, there was no reason to live. But the appearance is somewhat similar to Lin Zhao, and the place is such a coincidence, it is inevitable that people will be suspicious!

Lin Zhao obviously noticed the change in his uncle's expression, and immediately asked, "Uncle, could it be that there is something ...... this?"

Gu Qidao: "Back then, your mother fled south with me, it was in Yingtianfu, and your mother died in an accident...... He knew that paper couldn't hold the fire, since Lin Zhao already knew, he definitely couldn't hide it, maybe he would go to visit, so it was better to tell him directly. Moreover, this in itself may be a rare piece of good news......

"Really?" Lin Zhao is also keenly aware of what this coincidence means, could it be that his mother is still alive in the world?

Gu Qidao: "I know what you're thinking, according to what you say, maybe it's a coincidence, maybe your mother really survived!" ”

This news made Lin Zhao and Gu Qi both in a kind of hopeful joy. I really don't know how to describe the feeling of a loved one who has been dead for many years to get the news again......

"Uncle, is it possible that it is a mother?" Lin Zhao felt that this incident was too coincidental, and it sounded a little unreal!

Gu Qi was originally in a state of excitement, but when he heard this, his heart suddenly tightened, and a strong worry suddenly surfaced in his heart.

Oh, yes! My sister has been dead for many years, why is there sudden news of her resurrection? Maybe it's really pitiful and survived. But it is entirely possible that it was a trap set up on purpose, why did this news happen to fall into Lin Zhao's ears?

Especially after hearing about Cai Jing's identity, Gu Qi's doubts in his heart became even stronger, there were really too many coincidences behind this matter. Could it be that someone has already found out...... Is it deliberately tempting?

Thinking of this, Gu Qi couldn't help but shudder, if this was the case, the consequences would really be a little terrifying! Although subconsciously, Gu Qi hoped that this was true, but for the safety of his nephew, he still had to be more cautious!

Lin Zhao saw his uncle's expression flickering, and his heart was full of doubts, could it be that his life experience was really so mysterious?

Gu Qidao: "Maybe it may be your mother, but I think it may be a very small surname, maybe it's just a coincidence......

Coincidental? Is it really just a coincidence? Seeing Gu Qi's eyes, Lin Zhao couldn't believe it, guessing that there might indeed be a lot of cattiness in it!

Lin Zhao said: "Anyway, I will return to Bianjing in a few days, and when I pass by Ying Tianfu, I will visit this layman!" ”

Gu Qi's expression suddenly tightened, and he said: "It's okay to visit, but you can't be rude, especially if the other party is a layman in the nunnery, you need to be more cautious!" "What if...... If it were really your mother, she wouldn't have recognized you, but as for you...... Don't act rashly!

Isn't it just to see a layman? Is it necessary to make such tension? Lin Zhao didn't think too much about it. I just want to go to Yingtianfu as soon as possible to find out if it is my long-lost mother......

"Zhao'er, you just listen to me, be careful in everything!" Gu Qi said something serious, and Lin Zhao was not easy to refute, so he immediately agreed.

As long as there is a chance to find a mother, it is always good news......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lin Zhao stayed in Jiangning for a few days, and because of the emperor's summons, he left and continued to go north, returning to Bianjing to report on his work!

As for Meng Ruoying, she could only say goodbye and continue to go south to Hangzhou to preside over the business of the Lin and Meng families in Jiangning. Inevitably separated, a few young people still seem to be a little sad......

Lin Zhao smiled: "Don't worry, after dealing with the things over there, you can come to Bianjing as soon as possible." ”

"Well, after the matter in the south is dealt with, I will go to you......" Meng Ruoying knew that it was important to look good, but the overall situation was important, and the business of the Lin and Meng families in Hangzhou was really important.

"Well, then be careful yourself, I've already greeted them in Hangzhou, everything will be fine!"

"Hmm!" Meng Ruoying said in a low voice: "I've gone to Bianjing, don't be asked away by those expensive and gorgeous celebrities!" Although she has not yet married, Miss Meng has begun to learn to get vaccinated.

"Don't worry, it won't!" While speaking, Lin Zhao took off the jade pendant of Xiangyun Xu Dongsheng from his neck, hung it on Meng Ruoying's chest, and said, "This is the only relic of my parents, and now I will hand it over to you for safekeeping!" ”

Meng Ruoying's nose immediately soured, and it couldn't be clearer what Lin Zhao's move meant! (To be continued.) )
