The little boy perked up, tilted his head back, lifted his chin, snorted, and said proudly, "I will beat the bad guy."
It was a rare sight to see such an interesting baby. Guo Wenqing was very curious and walked over to sit next to the old lady with a chuckle.
He stretched out a finger and poked Chu Xiaoxiao's face: "Who is the bad guy you are talking about? Can you point it out to me?"
Milk ball shook his head and told her seriously: "Not yet."
"Oh! Not here yet?" Guo Wenqing was overjoyed. This doll was really interesting, much more fun than his nephews and nieces at home. "Do you know when it will come?"
"Hmm..." Naituanzi stretched out his right hand, calculated in a serious manner, and then told her seriously, "Half an hour later."
"Hahaha! This is really funny." Guo Wenqing laughed so hard, "What if he doesn't come in half an hour? Or what if he doesn't come as a bad guy? What will you do?"
The Duke of Zhenguo could not bear it any longer and glared at his daughter: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could the Imperial Master's calculations be wrong? She said the bad guys would come in half an hour, and they would definitely come. Do you think the Imperial Master is just fooling you?
But forget it! Every word of the Imperial Master is true, there is no such thing as fooling people. She will only lie to you if you tease her."
The old lady frowned slightly, secretly surprised. Is the person who will come in half an hour definitely a bad person? I remember that the day before yesterday, my sister sent someone to post a message saying that she would come to visit me at noon today.
But the national teacher said that the people who came today were bad guys. Was she overly suspicious, or was the national teacher wrong?
My sister and brother-in-law were officials in other places. Later, through the help of her old man, they were transferred back to the capital and became the fourth-rank Taichang Shaoqing.
He has been staying in that position all these years without moving. The last time my sister came, she wanted the old man to help again and get my brother-in-law promoted.
At that time, the old man refused outright: "Don't even think about it. I'm a military commander and I'm not familiar with the civil officials. It's enough for you to help once. Why do you have to ask me for help every time?
My brother-in-law has been in office for so many years, hasn't he accumulated some connections? If you want to get promoted and make money, find a way yourself."
My sister looked unhappy, and she forced a smile to explain, "Brother-in-law! My husband has always been a taciturn person, and he can't say a word even if you hit him with three sticks. If you expect him to accumulate connections, he will never be able to do so in his lifetime.
We are all relatives, so if we can help each other, please do so. If we can’t, I won’t blame you.”
The old man was furious: "Since you know that you are a relative, you can't make requests again and again. Don't you have any face? If you ask someone to do something for you, you have to pay some favors, not to mention giving them gold and silver."
Your family is so stingy. They helped me put in money a few years ago, but they haven't even got a penny back yet. Now they are licking their faces and saying they want to help me, treating me, Guo, as a sucker.
Whenever money is mentioned, my sister becomes silent.
She didn't want to say much. It was right for sisters to help each other, but if one person always made the sacrifices while the other took advantage without saying anything, no one would feel good.
Later, her sister didn't come to see her for many years. At most, she would send servants to bring her some New Year gifts during the holidays, but they had no contact at other times.
She didn't care. After all, she was a grandmother. It didn't matter whether her relatives from her mother's side came to visit or not. As long as she lived a peaceful and happy life, it was fine.
Marrying an old man in this life, she lived a peaceful and contented life. There were not so many concubines and illegitimate children in the family, and there were no vicious and calculating methods in the backyard.
The only concubine was her chief maid, who was of the same mind as her. She gave birth to two daughters, both of whom got married.
She gave birth to two sons and finally a daughter, Guo Wenqing. There were a total of five children in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, and they were all raised by her.
The daughters born to her aunt were also very close to her, and she brought them up by herself. The old man was a military commander, not interested in women, and after marrying her, he never thought of other women.
Her eldest maid was forced upon him. At that time, she was pregnant with her eldest son and he happened to be at home. She was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and go out to fool around, so she gave the maid to him.
The brother-in-law my sister married was just the opposite. He had five concubines, three maids, and seven or eight illegitimate sons and daughters. Originally, this marriage was for my sister, but I don't know why it was changed to mine.
Before she got married, her elder sister said that she would marry in her place. At that time, she thought her elder sister was joking with her, because she was the younger sister, how could she marry in her place?
Later, her sister told her, "I'm in love with someone else, and we've had physical contact. You should marry her for me!"
"Sister! How could you do such a shameless thing?" She was so frightened at the time, "If this gets out, how can our family face people?
You have met your brother-in-law. If she finds out that the bride has been replaced, won’t she be furious? "
"That's his business, why are you so anxious?" The elder sister said, "I don't care, I'm your elder sister, if I ask you to marry for him, you have to marry for him.
If you don't agree, I will tell my parents that I was deflowered, and then they will definitely force you to marry me."
"Impossible, my parents won't force me to do that."
Her sister glared at her fiercely and left.
Later, when her sister and brother-in-law got married, she accompanied her sister and waited for the bride to come and pick her up.
Her sister handed her a bowl of tea and said, "You've been with me for so long, you must be thirsty! Come, have a sip first, I won't be able to accompany you from now on. This is the last time I'll pour you a cup of water before I get married, you won't be disrespectful, right?"
She didn't care, took it and took a sip, then she felt dizzy, her eyes went dark, and she lost consciousness.
When I woke up, I found myself in the bridal chamber with the veil lifted.
When the old man saw her, instead of getting furious, he burst into laughter: "Hahaha! Hahaha! I got what I asked for. That's great! God has finally treated me well."
She was stunned: "Brother-in-law! Look carefully, it's me, it's me, not my sister."
The old man stretched out his hand and pinched her face: "Of course I know it's you. Originally, the matchmaker was talking about you, but I don't know why she later changed it to your sister.
I didn’t expect that the wedding ceremony would be changed back, hahaha! It seems that we are destined to be husband and wife for life. "
"is that so?"
Her mind was in a mess. Her brother-in-law becoming her husband was quite shocking to her. But she clearly remembered that the matchmaker had been talking to her about her sister. Could it be that the two sides had misspoken?
How could someone who has been a matchmaker for years make such a mistake?
After getting married, she followed the old man to the frontier and stayed there for more than ten years. Her sister and brother-in-law also went to work in other places. When they came back from the frontier, the old man was conferred the title of Duke of Zhenguo, and they were still in other places.
What happened back then was like a tangled mess that no one could untie. Later, we hadn't seen each other for too long and couldn't bear to talk about those sad topics, so when we met occasionally, we talked about happy things.
