Ajiu

Chapter 107
In Pei's house, Ajiu was sitting leisurely on the promenade, with delicious refreshments in front of her. While admiring the beautiful scenery in the distance, she tasted delicious refreshments, feeling at ease.Lin Youhui walked over with his maid, and Ajiu hurriedly got up to greet her, "Mother, please sit down, please drink tea." She poured a cup of hot tea with her own hands and handed it to Lin Youhui.Lin Youhui smiled slightly, and told about the Sun family, the Cao family, and the Zhang family, "The Sun family and the Zhang family got married, and the Cao family breathed a sigh of relief. These three families have all died down. Your aunt's concubine's adopted daughter I gave it to the long house, and the long house is fully responsible for her going out of the cabinet."

Ajiu smiled at Mimi, "What a good result." Neither did Cao Huiyin's plan succeed, nor did the Pei family and King Wei confront the Cao family head-on.This conspiracy started with calculating and using the ninth miss of the Pei family, but ended with the eldest miss of the Cao family being bedridden and lingering in the sick bed, and the fifth miss of the Sun family honorably marrying the queen's natal nephew.

Moreover, that Fifth Miss Sun will not only marry the nephew of the queen's natal family, but also marry as the daughter of the grandson's family, which has nothing to do with the eldest aunt's house. "From now on, there won't be a girl who comes over suddenly and wants to call me sister Ajiu, will she be my first cousin?" Ajiu laughed happily.

In fact, Ajiu doesn't dislike highly motivated people, nor does she think that a person with an unsatisfactory family background should keep his own law and let others slaughter him.However, whether you want to make progress or seek benefits for yourself, please take the premise of not infringing on the interests of others, and don't think about using others as stepping stones casually.I really want to step on others to climb up, first to see if I have this ability, and then to see if I have this luck.With neither good background, nor strong ability, and bad luck, it is really a matter of luck and fate, and there is no other way.

Miss Cao, Miss Sun Wu, no matter how miserable they are now, Ajiu will not sympathize with them.Miss Cao jumped down by herself, and no one pushed her. Fifth Miss Sun obviously had the opportunity to marry a young man with a clean family background and good looks.Now that a dude is on the table, I can only say that this is what she deserves.

Lin Youhui glanced at Ajiu with a half-smile, waved his hand, and ordered the maid to stay far away.Ajiu rolled her eyes, mother, are you going to whisper to me?Not like it.She smiled flatteringly at Lin Youhui, "Mother, try this lotus seed paste cake, it's very soft." Lin Youhui looked at her and said slowly, "Mother doesn't care if the cake is not. Ajiu, you were there that day King Wei said something in his ear, but he hasn't told me yet."

Ah Jiu giggled a few times, "No, it's nothing." She picked up a piece of cake and ate it with a sad face, but she didn't know what it tasted like.

Lin Youhui looked at her silently without making a sound.

After eating one piece, Ah Jiu reached out to take it again. Lin Youhui stretched out his hand swiftly and brought the plate in front of him, "Hurry up."

"It's really nothing." Ajiu laughed, "I just told him that I will be with you and my aunt, and I will never act alone anyway. So, if you hear that I am in danger, don't bother, just go his."

Lin Youhui didn't relax, "What else?" I didn't believe you just said this, and nothing else.

Ajiu had no choice but to tell the truth, "I also told him, no matter what, just listen to your majesty, that's right, and don't need to think about anything else. Well, your majesty may want Jinghaihou to fight Beiyuan and fight a tough battle. At this time we You can't let the Cao family's strategy succeed, but you can't have a direct conflict with the Cao family and disrupt His Majesty's deployment. Therefore, it is best to make big things smaller."

Ajiu looked at Lin Youhui sincerely, and she used her body language to express: I'm confessing everything, I didn't hold anything back!

Lin Youhui smiled, and pushed the dessert plate in front of Ajiu again.Ajiu took one and handed it to Lin Youhui obsequiously, "Mother, eat it, it's delicious." Lin Youhui shook his head with a smile, "Ninny, Mother is different from you. At your age, even if you eat too much, you won't lose weight." You will get fat, and if your mother eats a little more, her stomach will become chubby."

"That's true." Ajiu nodded understandingly.

When people reach middle age, they are prone to gain weight.If you want to stay in shape, you must limit your food.

"This person is old, so there are really many inconveniences." Lin Youhui sighed softly, "My daughter eats snacks with great relish, but my mother can only watch here helplessly."

"How do you feel?" Ajiu asked Mimi with a smile.

"Watching my daughter eat is sweeter than eating by myself." Lin Youhui said seriously.

Ajiu laughed happily.

After joking for a while, Ajiu begged softly, "Mother, please tell Dad that if His Majesty wants to summon me, don't refuse, okay? I used to go to the Qianqing Palace often, and now I can't even enter the Forbidden City." , What a shame."

Lin Youhui was silent for a moment, "Ninny, you're grown up."

It's a big girl, compared with when I was a child, it's very different.When I was a child, I entered the palace to play, but now I enter the palace again, what is it?

"Yes, I am older and more sensible." Ajiu smiled happily, "Your Majesty treats me very well. I brought him an ancient painting from Suzhou. It is my heart."

Ancient painting?The corner of Lin Youhui's mouth twitched.Daughter, it’s enough for you to use the tripod from the Zhou Dynasty and the jade from the Han Dynasty to coax your grandparents and grandparents, but you still want to take the ancient painting of the Emperor Meng?
Lin Youhui failed to refuse his precious daughter, "Succeed, I will tell your father." Ajiu then begged Mrs. Fang, and Mrs. Fang, like Lin Youhui, felt that entering the palace was unnecessary, but Ajiu insisted, so she couldn't object, " Okay, baby, when your grandfather comes back, grandma will tell him." Mrs. Fang discussed the matter with Mr. Pei Ge when Mr. Pei came back in the evening. Mess with the elders." Pei Ge thought for a while and nodded, "Okay, follow her."

Mrs. Fang joked: "You are more spoiled than I am. You have agreed to such a big matter." Mr. Pei Ge never hides anything from Mrs. Fang, and told her carefully, "Of course my daughter is not missing your majesty. , There is something wrong. Madam, I also find it strange to meet the Ninghou Mansion. We know the plot of the Cao family. Why would the Cao family dare to have such a plot? They may think that the Jinghai Marquis is about to go to war. At this critical juncture, His Majesty the Emperor will not refute his family's face, and will not let the Marquis of Jinghai feel cold. However, this alone is far from enough, unless they also get hints or even guarantees from Queen Zhang. Madam, this is very important Strange."

The emperor has made it clear that Cao Huiyin will be promised to the ninth prince, and Ajiu is the candidate for the tenth prince.In this case, Empress Zhang would still do this, it was like singing against the emperor.Why?It doesn't make sense.

Ah Jiu wanted to know the real reason for this, and wanted to enter the palace to have a look, so let her do it.

Mrs. Fang felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, "My daughter should stay at home comfortably." Elder Pei Ge felt the same way, "Yes, my daughter should be carefree and don't have to think about such troublesome things." The old couple said, Cao's family, Zhang's family, and Sun's family were all very dissatisfied with the troubled and harmed Ah Jiu.

"The Zhonglang family just returned to the capital, and His Majesty wanted to call Ajiu into the palace, but I refused." Pei Ge frowned, "For this reason, His Majesty was very unhappy."

"You are not the only one who offends His Majesty." Mrs. Fang comforted her ingeniously, "There are people around him who offend him, right?"

What Pei Ge said was brilliant.

Lin Youhui also told Second Master Pei, "I can't do anything with Ajiu." Second Master Pei said, "I can't do anything with her either." The husband and wife looked at each other and smiled, "What a worrying little Ajiu." What she should take care of, and what she shouldn't take care of, she will take care of it.

Second Master Pei is now serving as the General Political Envoy in the Department of General Political Envoys. He is in charge of internal and external chapters and memorials, and he often needs to see the emperor.That day, he was summoned by the emperor, and after the business talk, the emperor asked about family matters, "I heard that Ajiu is getting better and better? Speaking of which, I haven't seen this child since she left Beijing six years ago." Pei Pei The second master said honestly: "She really wants to come to see you, but I don't dare. She is not young, and she still has a childish temper. She bought a tripod from the Zhou Dynasty and jade from the Han Dynasty in an antique shop. Here is a picture of a night tour in Kunshan, insisting that it is an ancient painting, and I want to dedicate it to Your Majesty. I signed it for her, and [-]% of it is fake and deceptive. She just doesn't believe it." The emperor was very happy, a little pale His face was full of smiles, "It doesn't matter if the ancient paintings are not ancient paintings, as long as the child has this kind of heart." Immediately ordered Second Master Pei to bring Ah Jiu here tomorrow, and the ancient paintings must be brought regardless of whether they are real or not. The second master respectfully agreed.

After Second Master Pei left, King Wei ran out from behind the screen, "Father, if the painting by my junior sister is not a real ancient painting, you can see through it, so don't talk about it, okay?" The emperor leaned on the couch On the table, he smiled and said: "Okay, let's not talk bluntly." King Wei's eyebrows brightened, "Father, you are so kind!" Sitting next to the emperor, he worked hard: reading, listening, writing, and tidying up.

The emperor looked at him with a smile, "Xiao Shi, you are much less reluctant than you were a while ago." King Wei raised his head and said happily, "Little sister said, let me just listen to my father, and the other Don’t think too much about it.” The emperor laughed, “Is this what you say to your little junior sister?” King Wei argued, “No. I am a senior brother, she is a junior junior sister, of course she listens to me. However, if what she said is right, It's okay if I listen to her occasionally."

"Oh, I listen to her occasionally." The emperor nodded meaningfully, expressing his understanding and understanding.

King Wei blushed, and asked affectionately: "Father, when will you allow me to have my own palace?" The emperor was amused, and said kindly: "My own palace, wait until you arrive at your own fief. Xiao Ten, when you were in the capital, you lived in the palace."

King Wei was anxious, "How can it be done? Usually it's fine, but if it comes... at that time, how can I make it happen?" He was originally handsome, but when he was anxious, his face flushed and his eyebrows became more vivid. The emperor saw In his eyes, he felt quite interesting, "When did you arrive? Will you marry the princess? What's the matter, you can choose a seat in the palace of the ten kings, just marry it."

Most of the princes who have been named princes but have not yet entered the feudal domain live outside Dong'anmen, living next to each other, which is called the ten princes' mansion.After the feudal clan, the palace will be vacated. At this moment, some of the ten palaces are empty, don't worry.

King Wei was so angry that he stopped working for the emperor, put the memorial aside, and focused on explaining the reason to the emperor, "That's not impressive, I won't do it!" After bargaining for a long time, the emperor agreed to pick another geomantic treasure for him , Build a magnificent Wei Wang Mansion, Wei Wang is satisfied.

King Wei continued to work hard for the emperor, the emperor dictated, and he wrote down every word carefully.As the sun shone into the palace, King Wei's white jade-like face was covered with a layer of light gold, making it more clear, ethereal, and personable.The emperor looked at King Wei with a smile, feeling extremely proud.Look at my little ten, his demeanor is truly unparalleled in the world.Xiao Shi, what kind of girl is worthy of her?It's not a fairy in the sky, but it must be no different from a fairy in the sky.

Holding the ancient painting in his hand, Ah Jiu followed his father Pei Tongzheng into the palace.

The weather is getting hotter, she is wearing a light lake blue dress, elegant and pleasant.Her skin is too fair, faintly translucent, and a sweet smile blooms on her face, like a new lotus after rain, clear and beautiful, with a graceful demeanor.

The emperor watched Ajiu walk in unhurriedly, with a satisfied smile on his chubby face.Only a little girl like Ah Jiu is worthy of my little ten.Xiao Shi and Ajiu are a natural pair, and the earth makes a pair.

Ajiu followed his father Pei Tongzheng to pay respects to the emperor, and the emperor pretended to be unhappy, "Ajiu, you haven't come to see me after returning to Beijing for a long time, you must have forgotten me." Ajiu smiled flatteringly, "I'm here When I was visiting an antique shop in Suzhou, I found an ancient painting for you, and I wanted to dedicate it to you. My father and brother said that the ancient painting was not real, so I was anxious, so I bought a book on ancient painting appraisal, and I Learn to identify. Me, today I think it is real, tomorrow I think it is fake, I can’t get entangled. But now I figured it out, Your Majesty is rich in the world, what things are you rare, just to see It’s all on my mind, so I’m here.”

After she finished her long speech, her voice was clear and sweet, like a yellow oriole coming out of the valley, like pearls falling on a jade plate. The emperor was elated and said with a smile: "It's good when you get your mind." He ordered the servant to take over the ancient painting and unfold it. After carefully looking at it, he asserted, "This is an ancient painting, without a doubt, from the Tang Dynasty!" Ajiu was overjoyed, "Your Majesty, you have such a good eye, you can tell it at a glance! I have read so many ancient painting appraisal books, but I didn't realize that this painting is from the Tang Dynasty. "The two of them talked very happily. Second Master Pei stood aside and said nothing. Your Majesty, if you say it is from the Tang Dynasty, then take it as it is from the Tang Dynasty.

Ding tripods from the Zhou Dynasty, jade from the Han Dynasty, paintings from the Tang Dynasty, Ajiu, your trip to the antique shop was worthwhile and rewarding.

Second Master Pei didn't have much time to stand before he was sent away by the emperor, "Pei Qing, how many petitions have been sent by the Yi people in Southwest China? Go back and sort it out and present it here." Second Master Pei had nothing to say, and bid farewell to the emperor. , go back to work.Before leaving, he told Ah Jiu, "Don't be naughty." Ah Jiu respectfully agreed, "Yes, Daddy." Second Master Pei left with peace of mind.

The emperor smiled and said: "Ajiu, don't be restrained, it's okay to be naughty." As soon as he finished speaking, a slender and beautiful young man walked out from behind the screen, smiling at Ajiu, "Little Junior Sister, you are here." Ajiu smiled Smile, no wonder I'm not restrained, it's okay to be naughty, because there is a naughty child in his family.

Although they are all spoiled and naughty children, girls are more careful than boys.Ajiu was chattering, showing great concern for the emperor, even asking him how many meals he ate a day and how much he ate, which was extremely meticulous.The emperor was very happy to see Ah Jiu caring about him, but how did he know how many times he had meals a day and how much he could eat each time?Then he called the servant who was in charge of meals over and ordered him to tell Ah Jiu.Ajiu listened carefully, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, you should eat more and exercise more, so as to be good for your health."

The emperor had never met a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl discussing dietary issues with him in such a serious manner, and was very moved, "Ajiu, I know." The little girl in front of him was concerned about his body, how could he not know.

"Brother Ten, if my father is like His Majesty, I will personally record the time, frequency, and quantity of his meals every day, and I will not leave it to others. I will also accompany him for a walk three times a day in the morning, noon, and evening. Smell the fragrance of flowers, listen to the singing of birds, take a walk, and refresh your mind." Ajiu said old-fashionedly.

King Wei ordered his servant to take a pen and paper, and wrote down what Ajiu said one by one, "Little sister, I will do it too." King Wei sat very close to the emperor, and the emperor asked him quietly, "Listen occasionally?" King Wei didn't His voice changed, "She's right, just listen." The emperor smiled, "Then, is there anything wrong with her?" King Wei looked calm, "It didn't happen in the past, and I don't think there will be any in the future." .”

The emperor smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Xiao Shi, you and Ajiu go to see what flowers are blooming in the back garden of the palace, and pick a branch to put in a vase." King Wei wrote it down, put down his pen, and behaved He agreed, "Yes, Dad."

The emperor looked at Ajiu gently, "Ajiu is a young girl with good eyesight, please take a look for me, which flower is fresh and pleasing to the eye, let Xiao Shi fold it down." Ajiu smiled Mimi, "Okay, I I will pick the best branch for you!"

King Wei and Ajiu left the palace side by side to fold flowers in the back garden of the palace.The emperor held back, and after they had gone far away, he laughed loudly.
