Ajiu

Chapter 16 Wei Guogong

Uncle Pei was naturally full of joy after being named on the Gold List, and it was inevitable that he would invite a group of fellow teachers to visit him in the same year.Although he is busy, he is willing to be busy, and he is very busy.

Uncle Pei was busy, and Third Master Pei was not idle either. Writing letters to his family to announce the good news, rewarding servants, and socializing with relatives and friends were all in his charge.Duke Wei's mansion sent congratulatory gifts, and Mr. Pei came to express his thanks.

When Mr. Pei arrived at Duke Wei's mansion, the concierge let him in with a nod and bowed his head, "Mr. Guo is at home, please come and see Mr. Six in the study." When Mr. Pei heard that he was going to see his father-in-law, he couldn't help feeling afraid.

Wei Guogong came from the general family, and he spent most of his life in the army.Mr. Pei was a little in awe of this father-in-law, and he was not only respectful, but also very reserved in front of him.Seeing his father-in-law is a hard job for Mr. Pei.

"The old man is always too busy to go home, why did he meet me today?" Third Master Pei wondered secretly.

I thought it would be enough to thank my mother-in-law and gossip with my mother-in-law, but who would have met my father-in-law!This is really unprepared.

Third Master Pei bit the bullet and went to Wei Guogong's study.

Although Wei Guogong is a military general, the study room is very simple and elegant, with pianos, tables, stoves, and statues well arranged and well placed.In the middle of the study is a large huanghuali table inlaid with marble. Behind the table sits an old man in a brocade robe.

This one, of course, is Wei Guogong.

Mr. Pei stepped forward to salute respectfully, "Father-in-law is well." Wei Guogong smiled, "Sanlang don't need to be polite." Mr. Pei sat down on the stiff chair, feeling uneasy, not knowing that his always majestic father-in-law would tell him What.

Wei Guogong smiled and said, "How is Sixth Sister? This child has been spoiled by your mother-in-law since she was a child, and she has a very delicate temper. Your mother-in-law and I are always worried that she will be rude in front of her parents-in-law and husband-in-law."

Mr. Pei hurriedly stood up with a smile all over his face, "Father-in-law, my wife is very kind and virtuous. My parents like her very much. The whole family is full of praise for her."

Wei Guogong raised his hand to signal for Mr. Pei to sit down and talk, with a smile on his face, "Don't praise her. I don't know her temperament, she is the most spoiled and savage."

Although he spoke so modestly, Wei Guogong's smile spread to the corners of his eyes and brows.Obviously, Mr. Pei's words made him very happy.

Mr. Pei was a little nervous at first, but at this moment, he felt that his heart could be put back in his stomach, so he didn't need to worry too much.Daring father-in-law is worried about my wife, I can't see that he is so powerful and doting on his daughter, but he is just like an ordinary father.

Wei Guogong entrusted in a gentle voice, "Sanlang, the sixth sister is a woman with long hair and short knowledge. If she is not considerate in any way, you can take care of her for the sake of me and your mother-in-law."

Third Master Pei hurriedly said: "Miss, everything is in order, father-in-law, I have nothing to worry about!"

Wei Guogong smiled slightly, the smile was very peaceful, and there was a bit of amiability.Mr. Pei was originally afraid of him. Seeing him like this, he became more courageous and spoke freely, "Father-in-law, my lady doesn't have long hair and short knowledge, but she has long hair and long knowledge! She is very knowledgeable, really , both the elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law praised her so much."

"My father said that knowledge is divided into long and short, regardless of gender. Women may not necessarily have short knowledge." Mr. Pei laughed.

Prefect Pei is upright, but not pedantic.He once mentioned in disapproval, "What does it mean to have long hair and short knowledge? What is the relationship between short hair and short knowledge? Knowledge is divided into long and short, regardless of gender."

There are many stupid women in the world, but there are also many smart women.

It's the same with men, some are farsighted and some are short-sighted.

Prefect Pei and Mrs. Fang are deeply in love with each other, and they will never scold their wives like some self-righteous men, "What do women know?" He and Mrs. Fang have always had discussions, respected and loved each other.

Of course, the way parents get along can affect their children. The three brothers of the Pei family do not despise their wives for their knowledge. It is their common habit to discuss with their wives when they encounter problems.

"However, the lady seems to be...always a little absent-minded." Mr. Pei thought vaguely.

Wei Guogong nodded with satisfaction, and said with emotion: "Sanlang, your mother-in-law and I can rest assured that the sixth sister will marry into your family, rest assured for a hundred, and rest assured for a thousand!"

A person like Pei Kai will not change his face.The Xu family is rich, and he treats his sixth sister and daughter-in-law generously and peacefully. If the Xu family loses one day, he will remain the same as before.

"I'm afraid I'm going to go to Mobei soon." Wei Guogong's voice was calm and desolate, "The Beiyuan Royal Court now has a new owner, who is very arrogant and frequently provokes the border of our Celestial Dynasty. The Holy One is furious and has decided to send troops .”

Mr. Pei was taken aback, "Father-in-law, are you going to lead the army again?" Wei Guogong is a veteran in the battlefield, and fighting is a common occurrence for him, but he is almost sixty.

There are so many young generals in the DPRK, why must the old general be father-in-law?

Wei Guogong saw that his expression was full of concern, and his heart warmed up, "Liu Yatou, this little son-in-law, is a sincere child." He is a commander who has led thousands of troops. He has seen countless blood and killings in his life, and his heart has long been hardened. such as iron.However, facing relatives is different.

"It's just an ordinary battle, not worth mentioning." Wei Guogong smiled lightly, "Sanlang, when you see Sixth Sister, tell her not to worry about Daddy."

Third Master Pei hurriedly agreed, "Yes, father-in-law."

Duke Wei asked Pei Heng, Pei Jing, and Pei Lin in detail, "Are you naughty? Are you strong? Well, among my grandsons and grandchildren, there are only three children, Heng'er, Jing'er, and Lin'er. I haven't seen them yet." face to face."

The rest of Wei Guogong's daughters were all married in the capital, and only the youngest daughter was married far away.Moreover, after the youngest daughter married far away, she never returned to Ning.

Third Master Pei laughed and said, "It's nothing! Father-in-law, when you come back triumphantly, my wife and I will take the children back to Beijing and let the children meet their grandfather and grandmother."

Wei Guogong is a veteran who has been on the battlefield for decades, and he looks very confident. Mr. Pei didn't think that he would win the battle.

Wei Guogong smiled, "That's very good."

It was only now that Mr. Pei remembered his reason for coming, and hurriedly stood up to thank him, "My brother and I are inexplicably grateful for your generous gift." Wei Guogong shook his head with a smile, "It's what should be done between close relatives."

While talking, Mrs. Wei Guogong sent a maid to invite her.Wei Guogong smirked, I just talked to the sixth son-in-law for a while, madam, are you worried?I'm not a tiger, and I don't eat people.

Wei Guogong waved his hand and let Mr. Pei go.

Although Mr. Pei had a good conversation with him, he was still afraid of him in his heart. Seeing him let go, he hurriedly left happily.

Mrs. Wei Guogong has always treated him kindly and affectionately. He is very happy to see Mrs. Wei Guogong.

"I'm so happy to be named on the Dalang Gold List!" After meeting Li and saying hello, the rich and fair Mrs. Wei Guogong congratulated her with a charming smile.

"Thanks to you, we are happy together!" Mr. Pei thanked with a smile.

"I won the first test, Da Lang is really amazing." Mrs. Wei Guogong tsk tsk, "Sanlang, your eldest brother must be very happy now, right?"

"Not very happy." Mr. Pei smiled, "He already knew!"

Mr. Pei gave an exaggerated account of little Ajiu's heroic deeds.Look, little Ajiu nodded and turned her head twice, and the elder brother passed the provincial and general examinations without a hitch!Little Ajiu stretched out two fingers, and the eldest brother won the top two!
"Oh, this is amazing!" Mrs. Wei Guogong smiled from ear to ear, "Your precious little girl is really rare."

Mr. Pei liked to hear these words, and nodded triumphantly in agreement, "Isn't that right, my little Ajiu is so rare!"

He praised little Ajiu like a hype.

Mrs. Wei Guogong smiled and Mimi listened, nodding knowingly from time to time.

The back house of the government office in Suzhou was full of guests, relatives and friends gathered to watch Miss Pei Jiajiu catch Zhou.

Ah Jiu is one year old.

She has been able to walk a few steps in a staggering manner, and can also call "Father" and "Mother" indistinctly.However, the pronunciation of "grandfather" and "grandmother" is still temporarily difficult for her, let alone "aunt" and "aunt".

On the other hand, the eight brothers, because of the large number of people, you teach today, and I will teach tomorrow. After teaching a lot, little Ajiu actually called out "de's".

She was indeed calling her brother, but the pronunciation was not accurate, and it became "De's".

The day little Ajiu just learned to call her brother, Pei Wei and the older children cheered, "Little Ajiu is really capable, she can call you brother!" Somersault, "My sister can finally call me brother, it's hard to come by, let's celebrate!"

The eighth child, Pei Lin, is only over one year old, and she is still a chubby little meatball.He followed behind his brothers very attentively. Seeing them somersaulting, he wanted to follow suit, but unfortunately he couldn't learn, so he stamped his feet anxiously.

The eight older brothers surrounded little Ajiu and kept asking, "Good sister, call me brother!" Ajiu looked at the eager faces in front of her, and couldn't bear to refuse so kindly, she yelled "yes" over and over again. .

If a person wants to be kind and treat those around him kindly, he has to pay a price.No, Ajiu's little mouth was going numb, and the brothers didn't get tired of listening to it, and they cheerfully asked, "Sister, call me brother again!"

I'm tired of it, but you haven't heard it yet? !Ah Jiu really wanted to cry up to the sky.

Brothers seem a bit boring to do this, but they don't blame them when it comes to it.Ajiu is only one year old, with fair skin, big eyes, long eyelashes, and a sweet smile, not to mention how attractive she is.How could they not love to hear such a little girl giggling and calling "De's"?
No matter how many times you listen to it, you won't get bored.

Knowing that Ah Jiu was going to catch Zhou, the brothers contributed their housekeeping treasures one after another.Some brought out precious rare copies, and some took out expensive inkstones, pens and inks, brush washers, and inkstone screens. Pei Yu was the most generous and brought a small and lovely jade abacus.This jade abacus is made of high-quality pineapple wood, and the abacus beads on it are all clear green jade.

There are elegant books, pens and inks, paper and inkstones, qin, chess, etc. in front of little Ajiu waiting for her to choose, as well as makeup, dowry, famous and colorful jewelry that girls like, as well as spinning wheels, needles and threads, etc.

When Ajiu walked over with staggering steps, Gu Shi glanced at her with a smile, and his eyes fell on a small spinning wheel.

Ajiu, the spinning wheel Auntie made for you is very beautiful, do you like it?Pick this one, the girl picks the spinning wheel, she will be a little lady when she grows up.

Women must be virtuous.

Ah Jiu, who is usually very smart and understanding, ignored her.

Ajiu's big eyes were round and round, and she looked at the items in front of her one by one.

Her stern, serious and thoughtful expression caught everyone's eyes, making her very interesting.
