Chapter 94 094
When Mr. Song was enjoying the service of the two maids with a sensation, Guo Boyan first returned to Linyun Hall, entered the yard, and ran into the eldest son who had arrived after hearing the news.
"Father, I heard that the Song family has entered Beijing?" Guo Xiao asked frowned.
Guo Boyan nodded and signaled the servant to go to take the water. He said without caring much: "I have a solution to stop them."
Guo Xiao was not worried about this. Who was his father? How could he ask two troublemakers to steal his step-sister? Guo Xiao only cared about one thing. Looking at the direction of the backyard, he cared about: "Mother and the others..."
A trace of sorrow finally flashed across Guo Boyan's face. The Song family was easy to get rid of, but when the couple got together, their family would definitely be criticized by the people in the capital. The fact that his wife's widow's remarried identity and the fact that his daughter was originally a member of the Song family would be revealed. He didn't care, but the royal family valued face the most.
"They are fine, they are just on King Shou..."
Halfway through the talk, the servant came back with water. Guo Boyan went to wash his hands first. Song Kuo was covered in dirty clothes, and he was very disgusted.
Guo Xiao stood by silently.
Guo Boyan washed his hands, looked at his son, and sighed, "Let's wait for news from the palace." It would be useless to think about it any more.
Guo Xiao said nothing.
Guo Boyan asked his eldest son to go back to Yihexuan first, and he went to deal with Song Kuo and his wife alone. Hu was tied to the side room, and Song Erye had already put the medicine on it. Somehow, his pale face turned red before, and he was full of spring breeze. Guo Boyan moved a chair to the edge of the bed, and said politely, he said with emotion: "Jianning has been raising her in our mansion for four years. My wife and I regard her as a legitimate girl. I really can't bear to send her back to the mansion. Moreover, the emperor has given her a marriage to King Shou. As long as Jianing continues to be the girl of the Guo family, she can be the princess and enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth. If your brother really loves Jianing, he should have her long-term plan, right?"
Mr. Song hoped that his niece would be good in his heart. He really agreed with Guo Boyan's words. He just thought of the fierce wife at home, and he didn't dare to make decisions.
When Guo Boyan saw him, he looked upset and continued, "Of course, our Guo family cannot rob Ling's only blood. If my brother doesn't dislike me, I want to donate the two maids just now to my brother as concubines, so that they can give them more children for the Song family. If there are more children, I hope my brother will choose one to adopt me to the name of Ling and inherit the incense for Brother Ling. This is a thousand taels of silver notes. My brother will keep it and invite a good teacher for a few children in the future to teach them to study and imperial examinations. When they arrive in the capital, they can come to join me. I will do my best to find a future for them."
As he said that, he stuffed the silver notes into the hands of Master Song.
Master Song Er held the silver note and was reluctant to let go, but he still swallowed and wanted to return the silver note.
Guo Boyan persuaded him before he spoke, and looked him in the eyes and said, "What do you think of brother?"
Of course, Master Song Er is willing! He went to Beijing and got 1,000 taels of silver bills and two beautiful relatives for free, and also got a promise of the Duke of the Kingdom to take care of the descendants of the Song family. It was a three-kill to kill him! Regardless of this, even if there was no Guo family, his niece became the Princess of Shou, he could be considered a relative of the royal family. Who would dare to laugh at him in Jiangnan?
"My dear brother has not responded for a long time. Could it be that he is afraid of the evil woman?" Guo Boyan's voice suddenly turned cold and said in a stern manner: "My dear family affairs, I should not be talking too much, but my dear second uncle of Jianing. For Jianing, I also want to advise me. The evil woman instigated you to sue the emperor, which clearly wanted to put Jianing in a desperate situation. Fortunately, the emperor is discerning right and wrong and did not take back the marriage order. Otherwise, it will harm Jianing and cut off the in-laws of the brother and the Tian family. It is because of the family harmony and everything will be prosperous. Such an unvirtuous person, why don't you give up her and marry Wen Wan's wife? With her current identity, you are still worried that there will be no better marriage?"
One bad wife and one marriage, one by one, Master Song Er advised him as a friend, and his dislike of Hu was like a weed after the rain, growing wildly. Yes, all the fault was caused by Hu. It was Hu who took him back to his parents' home for nothing, which caused him to be imprisoned for three years and had no children. It was Hu who caused him to be beaten twice in vain and also made his niece feel cold. Otherwise, he would come to Beijing to recognize his relatives with gifts. How could a gentle person like his sister-in-law and niece not recognize him?
Fortunately, the Duke's mansion is broad-minded, not only does he not blame him, but he is also determined to plan for him.
Then why did he hesitate? As long as Hu divorces, he can have two more beautiful concubines and marry a young and gentle wife. He is just in his early thirties and is strong and healthy. The old man of Hu can't give birth to children. The new wife will definitely be the descendant of the Song family. He can even push all the mistakes on Hu in exchange for the forgiveness of the princess' niece!
"What the Duke of the State said is, I'll leave her now!" Mr. Song said excitedly, and his butt seemed to hurt.
Guo Boyan smiled with relief, suddenly shook his head and sighed: "She is a woman, now she is injured. She has nowhere to go. She should let her rest in the mansion for a few days and wait until her injury is healed. Then I will give her some money and send someone to send her back to Jiangnan. My brother is rare to come here. It is better to stay in the capital for a while and drink Jianing's wedding wine before leaving."
He actually kept him for the wedding banquet of his niece?
Mr. Song was overjoyed and sighed from the bottom of his heart: "The Duke of the Kingdom is a generous man, he is such a great charity!"
Guo Boyan smiled humbly.
Manager Qian coughed and said in embarrassment: "Dude, the fourth girl, the emperor is still waiting for the news, you see..."
Guo Boyan suddenly realized and said to Mr. Song helplessly: "It is related to the marriage between Jianing and the prince. I have to trouble my brother to come to the palace with me, so that the emperor can know that our two families have shaken hands and make peace and no more grudges."
Mr. Song smiled all over his face: "It should be, it should be."
Guo Boyan asked someone to carry Song Erye and take him into the palace to meet the saint. Emperor Xuande didn't have the intention to care about such trivial matters. He drove both of them away after perfunctory. Although he agreed to his son, Guo Boyan made the royal family lose face. Emperor Xuande was very disliked at him now. But after a while, Emperor Xuande still gave the eunuch Wang En a wink.
Wang Ensui chased Guo Boyan out of the hall and said with a smile: "Grandpa, please feel at ease, the fourth girl's marriage will be the same."
Guo Boyan's heart finally fell to the ground.
When he returned to the Duke's Mansion, he asked his servant to carry Mr. Song to the guest yard. Guo Boyan washed his hands and changed his clothes, and went to the backyard to announce the good news first.
Lin was overjoyed and rushed to tell her daughter. Guo Boyan hugged her, raised her chin like teasing, and said hoarsely: "My Duke has spent so much on you, how do you thank me?"
Lin couldn't stand his unfair appearance and said with a blushing face: "I'll go see An An first, you, let me go."
Guo Boyan refused to let go and wanted to ask her for one more time. Today, Hu said in the hall that Lin had cried and wanted to die with the short-lived ghost surnamed Song. He always remembered it and was a little resentful. Moreover, Guo Boyan vaguely saw the shadow of the short-lived ghost from Song Kuo, and felt even more unhappy.
Jealousy turned into lust. Guo Boyan held Lin's slender waist with one hand and flirted with her skirt with the other.
Lin struggled. Just as the couple breathed harder and heavier, Lin was about to obey him, Qiu Yue suddenly reported to him: "Dude, Prince, Prince, Prince, Prince just sent someone to pass the message, please come over."
Guo Boyan was slightly stunned. It has been a few years since King Shou moved to the royal palace, and this is the first time he has been looking for him.
Lin took the opportunity to escape from his arms, and panted while facing his back to his half-disappeared clothes and said lightly: "It must be for the sake of peace. The emperor will not blame us. It must be the prince's contribution. Thank you very much on behalf of us, both of us."
Guo Boyanqi said: "Why is his contribution?"
Lin turned around and saw that his clothes were still in chaos, so she walked over to help the man smooth out the wrinkles on his body, and by the way, the four words that King Shou said in front of the Duke's Mansion. Guo Boyan then realized that King Shou was so concerned about his daughter. After packing up, Guo Boyan hugged his wife and kissed her again. When he stepped out of the inner room, he had become a majestic and steady prince.
"Dad is going out?" Guo Xiao learned that his father had returned home and immediately came over to inquire about the news. When he saw his father walking out, he asked in surprise.
Guo Boyan raised his chin to the east: "Prince announces me."
Guo Xiao's expression changed slightly.
Guo Boyan mistakenly thought his son was worried about his sister's marriage and smiled and said, "Don't worry, the emperor said, the marriage will be the same."
After hearing this, Guo Xiao smiled subconsciously, but his heart fell to the bottom in an instant.
Guo Boyan was anxious to go to the next door to see King Shou, but he didn't pay attention to his son's strangeness. He stepped out of the Duke's Mansion and turned left to the Shou's Mansion. A little eunuch had been waiting in front of the door, and he bowed and led him. Guo Boyan walked with big strides, without looking sideways, and walked for a while, and finally stopped in front of King Shou's study.
At this point, the young eunuch who led the way successfully retired, and Eunuch Fu invited him into the room with an expressionless face.
Guo Boyan's eyes turned around the face of Master Fu, and he vaguely guessed that it was probably not a good thing for King Shou to see him this time.
"I pay homage to the prince." After entering the study, Guo Boyan saluted to the slender figure standing in front of the desk without being humble.
Zhao Heng held the brush in his hand, looked at Guo Boyan with a tilted look, and said indifferently: "Get up."
Guo Boyan stood up straight and took the initiative to say, "Today's affairs are all blamed for the inadequate thoughts that have implicated the prince. I hope the prince will forgive me."
"Small things are fine." Zhao Heng continued to paint.
Eunuch Fu picked up two secret letters on the table and respectfully delivered them to Guo Boyan. He lowered his eyes and said, "What the prince wants to say is in these two letters. The prince will know after reading them."
The master and servant were having a puzzle. Guo Boyan suppressed his confusion, took the letter paper, and first opened the first letter, and saw that it read: Someone used ten-money to roast chicken and encouraged the stone to push the two girls into the water.
Guo Boyan was shocked. Could it be that the two girls fell into the water? Shi Tou was the boatman's son? After the incident, Guo Boyan once suspected that Lu Zhen had made some moves, but the eldest son said that the boatman's son was young and hit him accidentally. Guo Boyan believed in the eldest son's judgment and did not think much about it. Now it seems that it was the Lu family's method?
Guo Boyan opened the second letter: Before Tan Xiangyu entered the palace, the prince brought the gift to the Tan family.
Guo Boyan looked at these two lines and thought of another letter, and his mind suddenly became blank.
For two things, the ones who were wronged were all their daughters. The Lu family might have been involved in the incident of falling into the water, but the only thing that both of them were mixed up...
His eldest son, Guo Xiao.
