The wedding date between Guo Boyan and Lin is scheduled for the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month. Although it is a bit hasty, three months are enough to prepare.

The Duke's Mansion is now the second wife who is in charge of the inner house. The second wife is from a famous family and is virtuous and generous in dealing with things fairly. She has been in good order for ten years. The grandmother likes her, the third wife obeys her, the younger generations respect her, and the servants even bow their heads and dare not disobey the sun. After so much ease, the second wife is in trouble when she renews the marriage of the Duke's uncle and uncle. After hesitating for a while, she leads the maid to the grandmother's happy residence.

The autumn is clear and the chrysanthemums are blooming in colorful colors. The lady is standing in the flower hall to appreciate the chrysanthemums. A lark with bright fur is hanging on the mahogany bird stand, chirping, which is very nice. Seeing that the daughter-in-law came, the lady waved with a smile and asked her to enjoy the flowers together.

The second lady walked over with a smile, holding the mother-in-law's arm, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were focused on appreciating the flowers. After enjoying the two rows of new chrysanthemums in the house, the grandma turned slowly and walked towards the carved arhat bed with brocade mats, while calmly asking her daughter-in-law: "I came to see me early in the morning, have you encountered any trouble?"

"I want to ask my mother for something." The second wife helped her mother-in-law sit down. She sat tilted on the other side of the low table and leaned forward and said, "Brother's wedding, I looked through the old gift list in our mansion. When we married my sister-in-law, we gave a 128-year betrothal gift. Is it still to follow the old rules this time?"

The grandmother lowered her eyes and pondered. As early as the previous dynasty, the Guo family was a prominent family. Later, they became the Duke of Long Yougong and were granted the title of Duke of the Kingdom, and their prestige rose to a higher level. The three daughters-in-law were all ladies of equal status. The eldest daughter-in-law was the wife of the prince. The betrothal gift was given to 128 pounds, and the two daughters-in-law were reduced by 8 pounds. Now that Lin entered the house, although he was also the wife of the Duke of the Kingdom, a widow with a child was still from a merchant. Not to mention 128 pounds, even 120 pounds, the Tan family and the two daughters-in-law would be depressed.

After turning around the Buddhist beads on his wrist, the lady said leisurely: "In theory, the widow should be simple in remarrying, but Lin accidentally rescued your elder brother. We did it too simple and it was inevitable that the people would be worth it. Let's do it, and the gift will not change. If you give it half a betrothal gift, you will be lifted for 64 times, and the box and cage will be filled as a small amount."

The second wife nodded. The first time an ordinary official family married a wife was only sixty-four, which was already very glorious for a business widow.

The betrothal gift was resolved, and the second wife asked again: "When will we arrange for Jianing to enter the mansion?" It is definitely not possible on the wedding day. They are busy watching the ceremony and have no time to take care of a little girl.

The lady said directly: "I will take it by the day I go back to the door."

Lin's son liked him and tried every means to marry him. She didn't want her son to make things difficult for her and agreed. However, she had to take a closer look at the character of Lin's family. Only then would she consider formally recording the daughter of the Song family in the Guo family's genealogy, if Lin's mud cannot be supported...

The lady rubbed her forehead, too lazy to bother.

When the second wife saw this, she quickly picked a few happy things and said that when the grandmad was in a better mood, she said politely: "Mother, do you want to tell the Duke of the People?"

The lady nodded.

In the evening, Guo Boyan came back from outside and learned that his mother was looking for him, but she had not changed her clothes, so she went to Changxinju first.

The lady told her arrangement truthfully and observed her son's expression casually when she spoke.

Guo Boyan knocked on the table with his index finger, and then said, "Mom, Lin is weak, but she is strong in her bones. If it weren't for her daughter, she wouldn't have followed me. She asked me to marry her in a formal manner, hoping that Jianing would suffer in our family in the future. She could support her daughter with justice. She wouldn't care about the betrothal gifts, but the genealogy matters..."

Lin's identity is there, and the betrothal gift should not be silly, otherwise it would be a harm to her.

The lady frowned and said, "Do you think she will write the child into the genealogy as soon as she enters the door?"

Guo Boyan said, "Yes. Since my son married her, he wanted the couple to be harmonious in the hearts of the house. There is no need to make things difficult for a little girl. Besides, Jianing is well-behaved and sensible, and his son doesn't want her to suffer grievances. In this way, take Jianing over on the day of Yingzhuang and stay with you for two nights. Wait until the bride finishes tea, and let Jianing recognize her relatives while everyone is here."

When the lady took a sip of tea, a little girl with almond eyes and peach cheeks appeared in her mind. Her face was chubby. She obediently lowered her head when she entered the house, and she didn't look at anything. She understood the rules very well. The only thing that made people dislike was that the child was young, and there was a hint of charm at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. As the saying goes, "Lin is really as dignified as it appears on the surface, how could he raise his daughter to be charming?

But the son's words also make sense. If everyone is married, it is the most important thing to live together. As a mother, she must be wary of Lin's scheming and give Lin a reassurance first, so as not to resent Lin's daughter.

"Okay, just do what you said."

The next day, the matchmaker passed on the meaning of the Duke's Mansion to the Lin family.

The Lin family really doesn't care about the amount of betrothal gifts, but the Guo family is actually willing to let their daughter join the Guo family's genealogy and let her be the legitimate fourth girl in the Duke's Mansion. The Lin family is very surprised.

Liu sincerely advised: "The Duke of the Kingdom is treating you sincerely. Since my sister promises to marry, I will follow the Duke of the Kingdom in the future. In fact, it doesn't matter whether you are a member of the genealogy or not. If you make the Duke of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the People of the Guo family will not treat Jianing well, right?"

Lin understood and lowered his head and said, "I have a sense of responsibility."

The husband is dead, and now the daughter is the most important thing. If she wants her daughter to live a good life, she must be a gentle and virtuous wife from Guo Boyan.

The day before the wedding, the man would send someone to welcome the makeup and carry the bride's dowry to his husband's house.

When the first rooster crow came outside the window, it was still dark, but Lin woke up immediately and turned her head to see that her daughter was sleeping soundly. Her daughter was not sleeping well, so she stretched out one arm. Lin turned sideways and gently stuffed her daughter's little arm back into the quilt. Lin slept lightly because she was about to move to the Duke's Mansion. Song Jianing had not slept well these nights. When her mother moved, she woke up and called out vaguely: "Mom..."

Lin smiled and asked softly: "Have you woke up so early?" Today is the first time my daughter has left her side, so she must be nervous, right?

After lifting the quilt, Lin got into his daughter's quilt, hugged her warm little body, and patted her lightly, saying, "Don't be afraid of An'an. You can do whatever they ask you to do. Be obedient. The lady will definitely like you. An'an will see her mother again the morning after tomorrow."

"Mom, do you like the Duke of the Country?" Song Jianing buried in his mother's arms and asked in a low voice. When his mother agreed to propose marriage, Song Jianing thought that his mother fell in love with the tall and mighty Guo Boyan. But after observing these three months, Song Jianing always felt that his mother was unhappy. She was still smiling at her a moment ago. When she turned around, her mother's smile would disappear, as if the previous smile was pretending to be a smile for her to show.

"I like it. With my mother's identity, the Duke of the National People is willing to marry me. Mom is very satisfied." Lin rubbed his daughter's soft hair and said softly, "When I get there, An An also wants to treat Duke of the National People as his father's filial piety, do you know?"

Song Jianing imagined Guo Boyan and Guo Xiao’s cold faces that looked very similar, and always felt it was difficult to say it.

The mother and mother snuggled each other. Lin reminded her daughter a lot. It was dawn and she took care of her daughter washing and dressing up. When she arrived at the dining table, she looked at her cute and innocent look that she would not be affected by anything that happened. Lin shook her head and said with a funny look: "Before my mother went over, the maids would pick up as much An An for you. When you are hungry, go back to your room to eat pastries. Don't let others see that you are not full."

She was afraid that her daughter would eat too much, so the Guo family misunderstood that her daughter was greedy for the food from the Duke's Mansion and was uneducated.

Song Jianing nodded obediently.

The auspicious time has arrived, and the people who welcomed the makeup of the Duke's mansion have arrived. Lin is not good for appearance. Liu takes her niece's fat hand and takes her to the carriage. She puts down the curtain and repeatedly tells her niece to be obedient. Song Jianing absent-mindedly agreed, looking at her uncle's house with big eyes reluctantly. Her uncle and aunt are particularly kind to her in this life. She is carefree at her uncle's house. If she can, she really doesn't want to leave.

"Don't worry, Jianing, you will see your mother later." Quanfuren said kindly and liked this beautiful and innocent little girl very much.

Song Jianing spent almost all his life in the back house. Before getting married, he was locked in the yard by his second uncle's family and was not allowed to go anywhere. When he was a concubine, he was a concubine of Liang Shao and Guo Xiao, the only outsider who could interact with him was his husband, so that he could develop a spirit of recognizing his child and never make any progress in his life.

Faced with the comfort of Quanfu Ren, Song Jianing nodded, lowered his head in a hurry, and clenched his fingers silently.

The carriage left for about three quarters of an hour and finally stopped. The maid with the carriage lifted up the curtain. Song Jianing glanced out and it was the main gate of the Duke's Mansion.

Song Jianing was very nervous and panicked. A tall and majestic figure suddenly turned around outside the car. Seeing her, the man smiled slightly: "Is Jianing here?"

It is Guo Boyan who has sharp eyebrows and starry eyes.

Song Jianing was stunned. Unexpectedly, his stepfather would come to pick her up. He was stunned. Seeing the man reaching out to her, Song Jianing unconsciously put his little hand on. Guo Boyan held the fat hand, and used a little force, then pulled out the new daughter, gently picked it up, and then placed it on the ground.

"I'm sorry for you." Song Jianing blushed inexplicably and thanked him like a mosquito.

Her voice was low, but Guo Boyan didn't hear it. She touched her daughter's little head, held her shoulder and turned forward, and said aloud: "That's your elder brother."

Song Jianing felt a sudden heart. He knew the etiquette, but he didn't dare to look there. A conversation rang out in his ears.

That was the first time Guo Xiao wanted her in his previous life. She felt uncomfortable, her body was swelling, and her heart was sore and bitter. She cried and asked him in a daze: "The prince's status is noble, what kind of beauty does not have? Why should I snatch me over?"

How did Guo Xiao answer?

He pressed her tightly and looked at her eyes coldly: "Because your eyes tell me that you want to be sleeped by me."
