Ajiu

Chapter 182

The emperor was overjoyed, his eyes became a line, "Look, Zhonglang, Xiaozheng is crawling Doriso, how beautiful it is!" Seeing that Xiaozheng was picking up the small album and looking at it seriously, he was even more satisfied, " Little scholar. At such an age, Xiao Zhengzheng is going to learn the principles of reading and writing!"

In the eyes of the emperor, there is really nothing wrong with Xiaozheng, and there is nothing not cute about him.Every time the aged emperor saw his good grandson, his heart would melt into a puddle of water, and he didn't even notice that the album that Xiao Zhengzheng was holding was upside down.

Second Master Pei knew that the emperor favored Xiao Zhengzheng to the extreme, so he watched Xiao Zhengzheng hold the small picture album upside down and looked at it very seriously with a sullen face, he just endured it and didn't make a sound.Just look backwards, Xiao Zhengzheng, as long as you are happy.

Xiao Zhengzheng sat and looked at it for a long time, then suddenly turned the album upside down, and then looked through it carefully.Only then did the emperor notice that Xiao Zhengzheng had been holding the album upside down just now, and happily pushed Erye Pei, "Zhonglang, look at how smart Xiao Zhengzheng is! If he took it upside down and no one told him, he would understand it by himself." Already!"

Second Master Pei smiled and agreed, "Yes, the grandson of the emperor is really a smart boy."

The servant came to report, "Long Live Lord, Mr. Yang and Mr. Yu have arrived and are waiting to be summoned."

Seeing that Xiaozheng couldn't move his eyes, the emperor casually ordered, "Let them wait." The servant agreed and went out again.

Xiao Zhengzheng looked at the picture album for a while, then raised his head and smiled at Second Master Pei, with a hint of goodwill in his smile.Second Master Pei agreed with him, walked up to him and sat down, said with a smile, "Grandfather will tell you, okay?" His eyes stared at him earnestly, as if urging, "Tell me, tell me, tell me quickly."

"Zhonglang is the one who plays with Xiao Zhengzheng, and I is the one who handles the government affairs." The emperor sighed.

The emperor resigned to his fate and summoned his ministers.When he was about to go out, he looked back, Xiao Zheng was leaning comfortably on his grandfather, listening to what his grandfather was talking about, his fair and lovely face was full of concentration.

The heartless little Zhengzheng, the happy Zhonglang.

In addition to summoning Yang Shoufu and Yu Cifu, the emperor also summoned Mr. Pei Ge to discuss how to prepare military rations and other matters.After discussing the business, Pei Ge always saw that the emperor seemed to be in a good mood, so he mentioned the marriage between Pei Jing and Princess Antai, "Your Majesty, my grandson is not young, and he is eagerly looking forward to marrying a wife to come in. It's so pitiful."

Pei Jing is indeed pitiful.Although he and Princess Antai hadn't met a few times, but he was yearning for Princess Antai's elegance and extraordinaryness.

The emperor originally planned to agree, but remembering that Second Master Pei could calmly coax Xiao Zhengzheng, but he had to work hard for state affairs, it was unbalanced again, "Pei Qing, An Tai is still young, why rush for a while." The emperor said darkly. said the face.

Old Weiwei Pei Ge said, "Yes, I am impatient, I am impatient."

Poor Ah Jing, you continue to wait.

Seeing that Mr. Pei Ge looked disappointed and did not dare to raise objections, the emperor felt very relieved.He kindly comforted Mr. Pei Ge, and then let Mr. Pei go away.

"All the memorials delivered yesterday will be sent to the Wenhua Palace." The emperor gave the order with a smile.Leave it to Xiao Ten, I don't care.Where there are young people, the elders should rest.

The emperor relaxed and went back to see his precious grandson.Xiaozheng was very happy to see him come in, and stretched out his small hand to pat the empty space beside him, motioning him to sit down. "Xiao Zhengzheng is still closer to his grandfather." The emperor smiled.

After the emperor sat down, Xiao Zhengzheng handed him a small picture album, and said enthusiastically, probably signaling him to tell a story according to the picture album.The emperor cheerfully took it over and opened it, "Zhonglang, Xiaozhengzheng must be tired of listening to you, so I want to tell you." Second Master Pei smiled, "Your Majesty spoke well, so the emperor's grandson loves it." listen."

The emperor was very proud.Alas, Pei Qing, if you bring up the matter of marriage at this moment, maybe I will agree, or maybe.

You mentioned it at the wrong time.

A rare visitor came to Pei's residence on Jiuning Street today, the famous Wei Guogong, the father of the third wife, Mrs. Xu.Wei Guogong can be regarded as the most respected guest of the Pei family. As soon as he came, Mrs. Fang, Mrs. Gu, and Lin Youhui began to talk: Pei Wei and other brothers have mostly gone out, only the seventh Pei Jing and the eighth Pei Lin are at home. They first sat with Wei Guogong; the rest of the brothers sent people to look for them everywhere; they also sent servants to the cabinet yamen, Hanlin Academy and other places to inform Mr. Pei Ge, Mr. Pei and Mr. Pei, and ask them to come back as soon as possible. .Only Erye Pei couldn't tell. He should be in the Qianqing Palace at the moment, and he couldn't go to the Qianqing Palace to ask someone to go.

Mrs. Xu smiled, "Mother, my father is from my own family, so you don't need to be polite. According to me, I don't need anything else. I just go out and sit with the old man for a while." Mrs. Fang is not willing to agree, "That's not possible, your father-in-law I will definitely blame you when I come back." Lin Youhui reminded with a smile, "Uncle in-law has always lived in seclusion, this time, I should discuss something with you when I come back. Brothers and sisters, the old man is old, so it is not good to keep him waiting." Xu listened, Standing up hurriedly, "Mother, I'll go and have a cup of tea with the old man." What the second sister-in-law said was that Dad must be here for something, so I hurried to ask.

Mrs. Fang said lovingly: "Go quickly. My in-laws haven't seen you for a long time, maybe I miss you, so I'll come and see for myself." Mrs. Xu shook her hand and smiled, "That's not true. Mother, you don't know, my father and daughter have always been together. He is not close, he only cares about children and grandchildren. My family has a lot of daughters, and I am ranked sixth, but it is not like our family. There is only one little Ajiu, and the whole family is not good." As he spoke, Mrs. Xu bid farewell Mrs. Fang, Mrs. Gu and Lin Youhui came out and went to the outer courtyard.

Pei Jing and Pei Lin were sitting and talking with their grandfather, when they saw Mrs. Xu come in, they hurriedly stood up, "Mother, you are here." Mrs. Xu smiled, "Xiao Qi, Xiao Ba, mother is afraid that your two children will be separated from each other." Being ignorant makes your grandfather angry, so I came here to take a look." Both Pei Jing and Pei Lin complained, "How can someone like us be ignorant?"

The tall and taciturn Wei Guogong sat at the head, with a faint smile on his majestic face.Liu Yaer, why do you become more lively as you get older?When you were sixteen or seventeen years old, before you left the pavilion, you didn't seem to be so joking.

Daughter, it is so correct that Dad married you into Pei's family.

Xu saw her father with a smile, and asked playfully, "Father, you must have missed me and came to see me, right?" Pei Jing and Pei Lin both objected, "Grandfather clearly misses our brother Three, just to see my grandson!" Wei Guogong, who has always been majestic, laughed amused by Xu Shi, Pei Jing, and Pei Lin, "Neither of them. Don't be too sentimental, I'm here to see my in-laws."

"Oh, that's it." Xu Shi, Pei Jing, and Pei Lin had a tacit understanding and lowered their heads in frustration at the same time.

"By the way to see you." Wei Guogong added calmly.

"Oh, that's it." Xu, Pei Jing, and Pei Lin raised their heads at the same time, with happy smiles on their faces.

"These three live treasures." Wei Guogong couldn't help laughing.

Mrs. Xu asked Wei Guogong attentively, "You and my father-in-law, do you have something to discuss?" Wei Guogong smiled, "No. It's just that I haven't seen him for a long time and I miss him. Come and meet me." Mrs. Xu and Pei Jing, Pei Lin nodded together, "Oh, that's how it is."

Pei Wei and other brothers went home one after another, and they all came to accompany their grandfather.Wei Guogong looked at the eight brothers of the Pei family, feeling a little envious in his heart.In-laws, I have more grandchildren than you, and there are a few outstanding ones, but they are not as neat as your eight children.

Uncle Pei originally invited his colleagues to have a drink together, and Third Master Pei planned to visit antique shops after get off work, but canceled the original plan and returned home early to accompany the guests.

Second Master Pei came out of the palace and arrived at the gate of the mansion. He happened to meet Mr. Pei Ge, and he couldn't help being a little surprised, "Father, you came back so early?" Mr. Pei Ge was always busy with business and came home very late.It is really rare to see his old man on Jiuning Street at this time.

Pei Ge always laughed, "Zhonglang, there are guests at home. Come on in with Dad, don't keep your Uncle Xu waiting." Second Master Pei knew Wei Guogong was coming, so he hurriedly followed his father, "A rare visitor is here, what? Can neglect."

When Mr. Pei Ge met Wei Guogong, he apologized again and again, "I'm tired of waiting for a long time. I'm sorry." Wei Guogong smiled, "I'm really an unexpected visitor. I didn't even say hello, so I went straight to the door. In-laws, don't blame me for being reckless." After saying a few polite words, Mr. Pei Ge asked Wei Guogong to go to the study to appreciate an ancient painting of the Tang Dynasty. Wei Guogong stood up happily and said, "That's exactly what I mean, please." Looking back at Second Master Pei, "If Zhonglang is interested Why don't you go together." Second Master Pei hurriedly said, "Uncle is interested, and Zhong Lang will definitely accompany him."

Elder Pei Ge and Second Master Pei accompanied Wei Guogong to the study, and Third Master Pei touched his chin, "Brother, what will my father-in-law have to discuss with Dad and Second Brother?" Uncle Pei shook his head, "Brother can't guess .”

When they arrived at the study, the three of them sat down as guest and host.The servant brought tea, Mr. Pei Ge waved his hand, ordering them all to retreat, Second Master Pei personally poured tea for Duke Wei and Mr. Pei Ge, and offered it with both hands.

Wei Guogong opened his mouth slowly, "In-laws, Zhonglang, there is a marriage, I want to discuss it with you. The Tai Furen of Linjiang Hou's Mansion is Zhuo Jing's younger sister. She is a relative of the same mother, and she is always tolerant to her. Now she is seriously ill in bed, and I am afraid that she will not have many days..."

Second Master Pei vaguely guessed what was going on, and listened respectfully, showing no sign of dissimilarity.

Wei Guogong frowned, and then said: "Zhuo Jing went to visit her, and she held Zhuo Jing's hand and cried, entrusting her grandson's future and granddaughter's marriage. Zhuo Jing was kind and couldn't bear to let her go unsteadily, so he agreed Meaning. I wasn’t very happy at first, but I have many grandchildren, including two or three aged seventeen or eighteen, so it’s not difficult to marry her granddaughter.”

Second Master Pei bowed, "Uncle, you are kind-hearted. It is really rare that you are willing to marry an orphaned girl for your grandson."

Without her father, Chen Lingwei is an orphan.Even if she has a aunt and an older brother, she is still an orphan.

Mr. Pei Ge was very polite, "Dear family, even though the wife of the Linjiang Hou Mansion is seriously ill, I still want to congratulate you. You are going to have a granddaughter-in-law, and it is a happy event."

Chen Lingwei once intended to enter the East Palace, and she belonged to someone who almost made the Pei family an enemy.Wei Guogong now wants to appoint her as his grandson-in-law due to the favor of his relatives, but he made a special trip to discuss with Pei Ge's father and son solemnly, because he was afraid that the Pei family would be overwhelmed. How could Pei Ge not understand Wei Guogong's meaning?Wei Guogong was his savior, but he never regarded himself as a benefactor, and was always concerned about the thoughts of the Pei family. Mr. Pei Ge was very moved.

Wei Guogong saw that Mr. Pei Ge and Second Master Pei were the same, sincere and sincere, and felt relieved in his heart. He said gently: "I have been a soldier for half my life, and my family is completely run by my wife. She only has this younger sister. If she is not allowed to take care of her , how can I bear it."

Both Pei Ge and his son expressed their understanding, and Wei Guogong smiled.

After coming out of the study, all three of them felt refreshed.This evening, Pei's family hosted a banquet for Wei Guogong, and they drank happily. Wei Guogong was very good at drinking, and he seemed to be drinking water after drinking, which made Pei Wei and others dumbfounded.

"Ah Jing, when will you marry a daughter-in-law and come in?" Wei Guogong, feeling drunk, grabbed Pei Jing and asked.

"Next year." Pei Jing said uncertainly.

Antai's uncle is like that, and no one can do anything about him.

Wei Guogong patted him on the shoulder, and then pulled Pei Heng, "Ah Heng, when will I give my grandfather a little great-grandson?" Pei Heng smiled embarrassedly, "Next year?" Wei Guogong thumped him vigorously, "Success, that's it It's a deal! Ah Heng, it doesn't count if you don't speak!"

Wei Guogong looked around, Pei Lin knew that she couldn't hide, she smiled at him wisely, "Grandfather." Wei Guogong stretched out his arm and pulled him, and asked with a smile: "I heard that you want to choose your own young wife? Arlene, it's okay for you to choose one for a year or so, but after a long time, grandpa won't stick to it." Pei Lin's scalp tingled, "Yes, grandpa, my son understands." Not only you don't stick to it, if I can't choose again, maybe Grandparents, parents, uncles and uncles, all of them are against each other.

Wei Guogong was very happy, drank a lot of wine, and returned home happily.

Wei Guogong's No. 20 grandson, Xu Lu, made a marriage with Chen Lingwei, the second lady of Linjiang Houfu and the head of Qingbo County.

Chen Lingwei was reluctant, "Cousin Lu is from a concubine." If it was my original identity, it would be fine, but now I am the head of the county, marrying the grandson of my aunt's family?How embarrassing.

Chen Lingyun smiled wryly, "Ah Wei, we are also from concubines. Duke Wei's mansion is the most prominent mansion in the whole capital. Wouldn't it be enough for you to marry into Duke Wei's mansion?" Sister, if grandma wasn't confused, pull Seeing my aunt weeping and begging, do you think my aunt and uncle are willing to marry our family?Wei Guogong's mansion is so well-organized, but our family is so chaotic. You are very lucky to marry into Wei Guogong's mansion from a messy Hou's mansion.

Chen Lingwei peeked at her elder brother, and said timidly: "She said, I was born so beautiful that I should go to the palace. I am born beautiful and cannot give up on myself. If I marry an ordinary person with my beauty, wouldn't it be buried..."

Chen Lingyun blushed angrily, and slapped the table, "I've said so much, but you just ignored it! You want to enter the palace, is it because you want to kill me? Ah Wei, take a knife and stab me to death." .”

Chen Lingwei flinched, "She said hers, but I didn't take it to heart. I just thought that I could marry someone better..."

"Better?" Chen Lingyun sneered, "You have been the county lord for several months, have you met someone better than Xu Lu? Awei, if you really don't like it, my brother won't force you, so let's go." Make amends to uncle and aunt, and resign this family."

"That's it, okay?" Chen Lingwei hesitated when she heard that she was going to divorce.

"After retiring from this family, I don't care about your affairs anymore." Chen Lingyun's face was full of exhaustion, "Awei, I'm useless, I can't control you. In the future, you can ask for more blessings."

Wei Guogong's mansion still thinks it's not good, where do you want to marry?I can't help it.

"No, please don't." Chen Lingwei panicked, "Brother, I'll listen to you, I'll listen to you!" She expressed her determination repeatedly.

If her brother doesn't care about her, she will really be alone.Over the years, her greatest reliance has been her brother.

"That's right." Chen Lingyun patted her in relief.

Because the wife of the Linjiang Hou Mansion was ill in bed, Xu Lu married Chen Lingwei very quickly to make her happy.After getting married, before the full moon, Wei Guogong sent the young couple to leave the capital and go to the northwest.Chen Lingwei's eyes were red and swollen from crying, "It's good to be in the capital, cousin, I don't want to go to the Northwest. The Northwest is too bitter." Xu Lu was very happy to go to make contributions, and he said with a smile: "Don't be stupid, grandfather We have to go. Awei, my family is different from yours. My grandfather has the final say in my family, and the children and grandchildren dare not say anything." When my family is as unruly as yours, by fooling around with you.

Chen Lingwei sent someone back to her natal home to ask her brother for help, but Chen Lingyun didn't see her, and only ordered someone to bring her a sentence, "Listen to your uncle and aunt, and don't be self-willed." Chen Lingwei wanted to cry but had no tears.The water splashed by the married girl, this marriage, my brother actually doesn't care about her life or death.What the hell is the northwest, how can it compare with the capital, his only sister is about to be dispatched there, and he is indifferent.

Chen Lingwei bid farewell to her relatives and started on the road helplessly.

Second Master Pei told Ajiu about Wei Guogong's special visit to Pei's house. Ajiu smiled and said, "Grandfather Xu's grandfather is very polite." Thinking of love, let his grandson marry Chen Lingwei.

"Father, I don't take these little things to heart." Ajiu smiled, "As long as I see Xiao Zhengzheng every day, all my troubles will disappear."

Xiao Zhengzheng was sitting by himself, but after hearing what Ajiu said, he made two ahhh, turned over by himself, and slowly stood up.Ajiu raised her heart, "Son, can you stand up by yourself? Really capable!"

Second Master Pei also held his breath.

Xiaozheng smiled enthusiastically at Ajiu, raised his leg, and took a step forward.

Ah Jiu burst into tears.No one is helping him, he can walk by himself!
When the emperor's grandson was nine months old, he would occasionally walk a few steps by himself.When he was almost one year old, he often waddled around and walked around very well.

When he is one year old, he will often pop out a few words, "father", "mother", "grandfather", "bring it", and so on.Once when his seventh uncle Pei Jing came to see him, he took Pei Jing's hand and walked up to the emperor with a serious face.

He didn't say anything, but at this moment, silence speaks louder than words.

"Yes!" The emperor was glared at by his precious grandson, and his heart was full of joy, "Qilang, I will change my name to uncle in the future."

Marry away, marry away, my niece, I promise you to marry away.
