Ajiu

Chapter 115 Love
The emperor knew that he took the master to Jiuning Street, and he actually sat and drank tea in the outer courtyard after arriving at Pei's house. Don’t dare to break in. Father, if I do break in, I don’t know what countermeasures Mr. Pei Ge will have, and how he will punish me in the future.”

The emperor stared at him speechlessly for a while, closed his eyes and rested his mind.

King Wei was very worried, and murmured by himself, "My junior sister doesn't like to break in; let's be a serious guest, Mr. Pei Ge doesn't want to see me; I want to do what he likes to please Mr. Pei, but my father said he didn't like it... ..." The emperor sounded pitiful, opened his eyes, and asked with a smile: "Then, what are you going to do?"

King Wei cheered up, "Can you give me two people who are good at currying favor with my boss? Let them obey my orders and give me advice at any time." The emperor readily agreed, "Success, I will give you two servants. They will live their lives What I have learned is how to look at people and how to please them." King Wei quickly waved his hands, "Not a servant! Dad, they have never married, how do they know how to please the Yue family?" The emperor looked at Xiao Shi with a serious face. , smiled and said: "There is a pedestrian named Xia in the Pedestrian Department, who can be said to be a good dancer with long sleeves. There is a doctor named Jia in the Ministry of Industry, who is good at water management..."

Wei Wang opened his eyes wide.I want to be good at flattering people, you say you are good at water control, you... are you kidding me?The emperor smiled kindly, "...you are good at flattering me for a moment. Xiao Shi, I will lend you these two for the time being."

"This Xia Xingren and Jia Langzhong have both married wives, right?" King Wei hurriedly confirmed with the emperor.

The emperor rubbed his nose, "One is in his 20s and the other is in his 30s. I guess they are married. Xiao Shi, there are many men who marry at the age of [-] or [-], and very few of them marry after their [-]s."

"Thank you." King Wei thanked happily.

After thanking him, King Wei suddenly remembered, "I don't know if Xia Xingren and Jia Langzhong are close to their Yue family? Dad, think about it carefully, it's useless for me to curry favor with my boss, I should be able to please the Yue family. "

King Wei said it as a serious matter, and the emperor didn't want to laugh at him, and said in a soothing tone: "It doesn't matter whether you are the boss or the Yue family, the truth is the same."

"Yes." King Wei nodded.

King Wei was very grateful to his considerate emperor's father, and flattered him graciously, "You are an emperor, but you can clearly understand the talents of a pedestrian in the pedestrian department and a doctor in the Ministry of Industry. You are so wise. Already!" the emperor laughed, "Jia Xian used to work in the Pedestrian Division."

Pedestrians are in charge of edicts, canonization, etc., but they are responsible for issuing imperial edicts, canonizing clans, appeasing the Quartet, recruiting talents, etc., so they can often see the emperor.The grade of pedestrians is not high, and there is no oil or water, but because they can get in close contact with the emperor, it is not considered hard work, and some people rush to do it.For example, the doctor surnamed Jia, named Jia Xian, was appreciated by the emperor when he was a pedestrian, and was soon promoted to the head of the Ministry of Industry, and then he was promoted all the way to a doctor.

The emperor sent a very winking servant to summon Xia Xingren and Jia Langzhong.This servant is called Huang Xian, and he has been with the emperor for more than ten years. How does the emperor love King Wei, can he not know?Xia Xingren and Jia Langzhong were summoned into the palace, and along the way they had already told what His Royal Highness King Wei needed.Xia Xingren was in his early twenties, he had just won the Jinshi, and he was very clever. Jia Langzhong had been an official for many years and was well versed in the art of flattering horses, both of them knew it well.

The emperor did not see them.Huang Xian led them to wait in the corridor for a while, and a servant came out and let them go to the west wing.Jia Langzhong and Xia Xingren followed Huang Xian to the West Wing, but they didn't dare to sit down and stood upright.Huang Xian explained a few words to the two of them in a low voice, and both of them nodded with a smile, "Understood, I've written it down, thank you father-in-law for reminding me."

Waiting until the shadow of the sun slanted to the west, the door opened, and a slender young man stood at the door.He was wearing the uniform of Prince Long embroidered with red nine groups, and blue satin court boots. There seemed to be a trace of displeasure on his beautiful face.Seeing him, Jia and Xia quickly knelt down and saluted, "Jia Xian (Xia Yu) pays his respects to His Royal Highness King Wei."

According to the etiquette system of this dynasty, courtiers must kneel and worship the prince when they see the prince, but they don't proclaim themselves courtiers by signing their names.King Wei is a prince who is very favored by the emperor. When he was only six or seven years old, he once severely reprimanded someone who professed himself a minister in front of him.Now that he is older, no one dares to cross the line in front of him.

King Wei glanced at the two of them, and said calmly: "Get up." He went straight to the official hat chair at the top and sat down, expressionless.

He came alone, without the maid of honor.Xia Xingren followed him winkingly, poured a cup of tea and handed it over with both hands, "Your Highness, please use tea." King Wei looked him up and down, thanked him, and reached out to take the tea. He was about to ask something, but his expression Distressed, unable to ask.

Xia Xingren was in his 20s, tall and handsome, and he looked really handsome. An employee of a pedestrian company, he always paid attention to his appearance.If the image is not good enough, don't do it at all.Xia Xingren can enter this key department, and his appearance can naturally stand up to scrutiny.

Xia Xingren put on a flattering smile, asked questions in front of King Wei, and was very attentive. "...Your Highness, I feel kind to you as soon as I see you. No, I have brought out my ability to curry favor with Lao Taishan back then. Your Highness, don't think I'm too loud." Xia Xingren said with a smile.

King Wei was puzzled, "Is this your housekeeping skill to curry favor with Lao Taishan?"

Xia Xingren smiled all over his face, "Your Highness, you don't know that my old Taishan doesn't love money, doesn't greedy for drinks, and even less lustful! He has no hobbies at all. If I want to curry favor with him, I just can't start. After thinking about it, There is no other way, so I have to be courteous carefully, there is no other way."

King Wei pondered for a moment, "How did you get married back then, let me tell you about it."

Xia Xingren smiled, "I fell in love with a distant cousin at first sight, and I wanted to marry her. However, her father, my distant cousin, didn't like me very much, so he refused to agree. The cousin is a deep-seated woman. If I want to get married back home, I can only ask her parents to agree. My cousin is an upright man, and there is really no room for me to take advantage of it. I have to go to his old man and serve him carefully whenever I have the opportunity..."

King Wei listened very carefully.

Xia Xingren took a sneak peek at his expression, and became more determined in his heart, "...So, after a year, the old man finally showed kindness and nodded. Your Highness, I have been married for three years now, and my son can walk."

King Wei hesitated, "Can't it be another way? He is a scholar. He always likes calligraphy, paintings, and rare books. He collected more and offered them with both hands. Maybe he wants a learned son-in-law. You can study hard. Be erudite, let him know how talented you are..."

Is there any other way besides flattering you in a low voice?
Xia Xingren said euphemistically: "Your Highness is right. It's just that my old Taishan loves his daughter too much. No matter what kind of rare book, it is not worth mentioning compared with his precious girl."

King Wei was thoughtful.

Jia Langzhong used to work in the Department of Pedestrians. Although he is in his 30s now, he is still graceful and elegant.He smiled and looked at the side for a long time, and gave a free and easy bow, "Like Xia Xingren, it's not bad. You are old Taishan and don't agree. As long as you are willing to work hard, the old man will be moved by you one day. I am miserable. Well, when I discussed marriage back then, everything else went smoothly, except for one thing, my mother didn't like it, so she insisted on sticking to it."

King Wei's heart moved, and he heard Jia Langzhong continue: "...Because my mother is not happy, Lao Taishan's family is worried about her mother-in-law's dislike, and the daughter will not have a good life even after marrying, so she is also cold. Alas, at that time I It was so painful that I couldn't sleep at night."

King Wei looked at Jia Langzhong eagerly, and really wanted to say to him, "To each other, to each other."

King Wei's problem seems to come from Mr. Pei Ge, but it actually comes from Queen Zhang.If Empress Zhang is willing to be very kind to Ajiu, all these problems will disappear.

"How did you do it?" Wei Wang unconsciously leaned forward and asked eagerly.

"If my mother is the head of my family, I can only reluctantly give up my love." Jia Langzhong mused: "But, the head of my family is my father. My father is very much in favor of it. Therefore, this marriage is finally It's done. After marriage, my wife stays with me in the capital, and my mother stays in my hometown, so everything will be fine."

Jia Langzhong's words were not constructive to King Wei at all, and King Wei showed a disappointed look.

Jia Langzhong changed the subject, "My old Taishan was also very reluctant back then, and the marriage could not be discussed. I was so anxious and had no other choice, so I had to go to Lao Taishan and my brother-in-law to flatter me every chance I had..."

This is it again.King Wei heard it very well.

"There is no other way." Jia Langzhong said softly.

Xia Xingren nodded hurriedly.

King Wei sat down for a while, then stood up and left.

Jia Langzhong and Xia Xingren were also taken out by Huang Xian later.After leaving the palace, Jia Langzhong saw no one around, and asked softly, "Who is your teacher?" Xia Xingren smiled and cupped his hands at him, "You don't know me, but I know you. Senior, I and The same as you, the teacher is Mr. Pei Ge. I have seen you at Pei's house, but you may not have seen me. "

Among them, Jinshi was much later and had just stepped into the official career, while Jia Langzhong had been an official for many years.

Jia Langzhong smiled all over his face, "Disrespect, disrespect." The two walked and talked all the way, becoming a lot closer.

King Wei used to be famous for respecting his teachers, but since the summer of this year, he has become even more serious.Not only is he respectful to his teacher Pei Tongzheng, but also his teacher's father, son, and nephew are also unusual.Collect rare and rare books to honor the teacher, and often come and go with the seniors, chatting and being very affectionate.

To his teacher's father, Mr. Pei Ge, he just didn't know how to express his respect.If they met each other normally, they would definitely treat him like an elder, without putting on airs like a prince at all.If Mr. Pei Ge was on duty at Wenyuan Pavilion, he would personally deliver snacks and tea, showing his utmost care.

"I'm on business, Your Highness, please come back." Mr. Pei Ge always pushed him away mercilessly.

He was submissive, with the appearance of a docile junior.

After King Wei left, Mr. Liang Ge, who was on duty with Mr. Pei, smiled, "Mr. Pei, this grandson-in-law, please admit it. To tell you the truth, my grandson-in-law is just dressed in white, not as respectful and polite as this one. "

Mr. Pei Ge put down the military newspaper in his hand and groaned angrily, "My family has eight grandchildren! If they married an ordinary family, who would dare to give my daughter a little bit of anger? I have nothing to say. But this..."

He is not someone who can be reprimanded casually.

"What's so difficult about it." Old Liang Ge joked, "He will go to Weidi to become a vassal. At that time, two of Mr. Pei's grandsons will be officials in Weidi, so don't worry about it."

If King Wei and Concubine Wei quarreled, her natal brother would come to the door at any time to persuade them to fight.

"Inappropriate." Pei Ge shook his head, "In my opinion, it is better for me to ask for the post of Chief History of the Palace."

Elder Liang Ge didn't know what to say.Mr. Pei Ge, Minister of the Ministry of Households and cabinet minister, is the pinnacle of civil servants; the governor of the palace is the helpless choice of civil servants who have no ambitions; this... can these be compared together.

King Wei didn't dare to speak in front of Mr. Pei Ge, but he was much more at ease when he was in front of his teacher, Second Master Pei.He took out the planning map of the palace and showed it to Second Master Pei, and described in detail his happy life after marriage in serious detail.

"Teacher, I will treat her well, she will be unique!" King Wei vowed.

Second Master Pei said gently: "His Royal Highness, she not only wants to be unique, but also to be happy."

It's not that she doesn't have a concubine, it's as simple as only her.She has always been carefree in Pei's family, and she will be happy when she gets married in the future.Ah Jiu, her life should be full of laughter.

"This, I can do it without hard work." Wei Wang smiled shyly, "She is always very happy with me."

This can't be regarded as this brat's bragging.Ah Jiu was really in high spirits when he was with him.Second Master Pei thought about his thoughts silently, and then looked at King Wei, his eyes softened a lot.

"You are kind and honest, you are dating my grandfather and my father." Of course, what King Wei did can't be hidden from Ajiu, Ajiu has all the ups and downs in his heart, and he can't tell what it feels like.

The atmosphere of this era is conservative, he can't pursue himself openly, so he saves the country, trying to get close to his grandfather, father and brothers.This kind of pursuit is very touching. He has a special liking for himself, even if he is not deeply in love with him.

There is tenderness between Ajiu's brows and heart.

Before I knew it, summer had passed.In September, sweet-scented osmanthus is fragrant, and autumn is refreshing.Pei Mansion on Jiuning Street was decorated with lanterns and festoons, Pei Ge's third grandson, Pei Qi, married his wife Yuan Shi, and entered the door.It turned out that the third girl married the third son of the Pei family, and they had a happy marriage.

"The third sister-in-law is so beautiful, she is almost catching up with me!" This was Ah Jiu's evaluation of her direct sister-in-law, Yuan Shi.

Second Master Pei and Lin Youhui were parents-in-law for the first time in their lives, and they were extremely proud and happy.The innocent young man Pei Qi married a gentle and sweet wife who was like a fairy, and he was happy like a fool every day, and was often laughed at by his younger siblings.

There is joy everywhere in Pei's house.

The good news came frequently from the front line, and the emperor felt very happy.He thought smugly, defeating Bei Yuan in one fell swoop, the world is at peace, the younger sons have grown up, next year Xiao Shi will marry and become a feudal clan, then Xiao Eleven, Xiao Twelve, Xiao Thirteen...

The more the emperor thought about this wonderful prospect, the more he didn't want to die.The more you don't want to die, the more you pay attention to health preservation.He often summoned the imperial physician and asked how to prolong his life. He would actively follow what the imperial physician said.

The older I get, the more I miss the world.

The older I get, the more anxious I am when I look at my son who should be married but has not.The emperor specially summoned Elder Pei Ge, "This month will be the third child, winter will be the fourth child, and next spring will be the fifth child and sixth child. Ah Jiu's marriage can be arranged in autumn and winter next year."

Elder Pei Ge was not very happy, "Your Majesty, the minister's little granddaughter is still young. Besides, her seventh brother and eighth brother are not engaged yet."

The emperor sacrificed his mourning soldiers, "Pei Qing, I am getting old, if I wait another two years, I'm afraid..." The emperor's chubby face was full of exhaustion and sadness that could not be concealed.

Elder Pei Ge fell to his knees with tears in his eyes, "Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven, and you will surely live forever!"

He has been with the emperor and his ministers for many years, and sincerely hopes that the emperor will live a long life, live 1000 years, 1 years, and live forever.

The emperor smiled bitterly, "Pei Qing, there have been many holy emperors throughout the ages, which one can live forever?"

It has been rare since ancient times for people to reach seventy, but the number of emperors who can live past seventy can be counted.Longevity is not strong, one is not.

Old Pei Ge wiped away his tears, "Minister, obey the order."
