My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

When the words great-grandson were mentioned, the eyes of the two aunts of the Gu family darkened.

Once upon a time, they also had the opportunity to be grandmothers, but now, they can only live their lives guarding the bones and tablets, hoping that their husbands and sons can meet them in their dreams.

It's quite sad to think about it.

The excitement only lasted for two days, so the whole family got together all the time, talking and laughing, but this night, Xing Zhao went out alone.

He still has many brothers in Sui'an City. When he learned that he was leaving to return to Jinling City, he naturally had to put it into practice.

The leader is naturally Sanlang of the Yan family. He has a cheerful temperament, so he makes many friends, and he is never polite, so everyone who gets along well with him is like this.

At the wine table, several people began to change glasses.

It is rare to find someone who can drink as well as his fourth aunt, so Xing Zhao, who is still very shy in front of his fourth aunt, is quite good at drinking in front of his brothers.

The wine bowls were emptied one by one, and there was not much drunkenness on his face.

The others were still busy, but Sanlang of the Yan family came to the window with his arms around Xing Zhao and said.

I don't know when your kid will come back this time. Alas, we brothers have to be separated again.

What are you afraid of? If I don't come, you can't go?

You think I'm willing to listen to my old man's scolding here every day? Huh, from morning to night, from top to bottom, I didn't find that there was anything he liked.

Hearing Sanlang Yan's complaints, Xing Zhao thought of his mother.

However, the difference between the two is that Uncle Wei Yuan is sincere in his dislike, while Mrs. Xing is more of a hater.

Thinking of this, the two clinked their glasses and drank the bitter wine in their hands.

Xing Zhao was a little more concerned about his family than Sanlang of the Yan family, so after drinking and feeling sad, he said to his brother.

It's useless to think too much. If you are really determined to do something in front of your father to show him, don't put it off any longer. Look at my cousin, when we were so old, he was always planning The state has been struggling for many years.

The cousin mentioned by Xing Zhao is naturally Shang Ji.

As someone who also wanted to join the army, Sanlang Yan was naturally convinced. However, even though he had this dream, he was unable to do so.

At first, because he wanted to join the army, he secretly went to the recruitment office. Who knew that when Uncle Wei Yuan found out, he sent someone to catch him and beat him so hard that his right arm was broken.

Although he was cured later, only Sanlang Yanjia knew that the pain he felt every time it was windy or rainy meant that he would never have the opportunity to practice martial arts again in his life.

That's why he let himself go like this. Since he couldn't do what he wanted to do, he would go against the father who harmed him and do whatever it takes to make him look ashamed.

Xing Zhao was one of the few people who knew the inside story, so he lamented that this brother had cut off his career for many years out of anger at such a young age. He always thought that it would be great if he could bring back the high-spirited Sanlang of the Yan family from many years ago.

There was some pain in Sanlang Yan's eyes, but it was quickly digested by him.

When he raised his eyes again, he said to Xing Zhao with that cynical look again.

I'm a useless person. There's no point in trying hard. Let's not talk about this. You have this little time to persuade me. Why don't you set up a game for me before leaving? Ask Miss Gu to come out and meet her. She has rejected the post from the Earl's Mansion three times. , I just can’t invite you once.”

After hearing his words, Xing Zhao shook his head and said.

Don't think about it, Lang'er is not your lover. When I set out the day after tomorrow, I will take her away with my third aunt. Even though we are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, there is no deep affection between you two. It’s useful, not to mention that she has no interest in you.”

She's leaving too? To avoid me?

Yan Shaoyi, you are too thick-skinned. Why are you hiding from me? They don't owe you money, but they have been out for a long enough time, so it's time to go back. It just so happens that I have to go back too, so I'll escort you too. Be safer.”

Hearing this, the expression on Yanjia Sanlang's face was uncertain. I don't know what he was thinking, but he suddenly fell silent.

Xing Zhao knew that it was impossible for the two of them, especially at this time, so he couldn't bear to let his brother get stuck in it and reminded him.

You'd better take a good look at the noble ladies in Sui'an City. With your status, there are many women who want to get closer. Choose the right one and just live with it.

After hearing what he said, Sanlang of the Yan family snorted coldly and said.

You are good at persuading people, but why don't you find a noble girl and make do with it when you are too old?

When this matter was suddenly mentioned, Xing Zhao's face showed a little bit of discomfort, but he quickly got over it and turned coldly towards San Lang of the Yan family.

You're talking about your business, what are you doing to me?

But Sanlang of the Yan family knew a lot of inside stories, so he came up and asked.

Still thinking about that person?

Suddenly his thoughts were revealed, Xing Zhao became a little angry, glared fiercely and said.

Don't try to slander her here. She is married and now has a child. Don't ruin her reputation.

What are you afraid of? It's just marriage and having children. You can still get divorced. If you like it, you should go for it. No matter what these worldly prejudices do, you two are destined to be mandarin ducks. Why do you insist on playing a miserable love drama with me here!

Hearing this, it was Xing Zhao's turn to be silent this time.

Thinking of the past, my eyes were no longer as free and natural as they were in the General's Mansion or in front of outsiders, but were filled with regret and sigh.

If time could go back four years, would he make the same choice?

He wasn't sure, but the only thing he knew now was that she was doing well, so he shouldn't bother her anymore.

Thinking of this, he poured another bowl of wine into the bowl and said to Sanlang Yanjia.

I won't come home until I get drunk today!

drink!

Sui'an City was quiet at night, but there was more noise than this where noble gentlemen like them lived.

oppressive rule.

It's true that they have the same face in every dynasty, and there has been no change due to the establishment of a curfew.

Also not bound by the curfew is the East Palace.

Tonight, after the prince, Prime Minister Guo and Mr. Wen agreed on some things, he walked out of the study a little tired.

Originally, he wanted to go see the Crown Princess, but Zong Liangdi stopped him halfway.

Another night of indulging in music and music, causing no peace everywhere.

Early in the morning, before the Crown Princess had even gotten up, she heard the nanny waiting beside her say that the four concubines had arrived and were waiting to pay their respects to the Crown Princess.

In the past, they were not so diligent, so what happened?
