Ajiu

Chapter 187 Talent
In the autumn of this year, Pei Lin, who was frustrated in love, worked hard and performed exceptionally in the examination room, and won the No. 1 in the provincial examination, Xie Yuan.So far, Pei Ge's eight grandsons have all won the election.He has three sons, all three of whom are Jinshi; eight grandsons, all of whom are Juren, "How did he raise his children and grandchildren?" This achievement of Mr. Pei Ge is really enviable and hateful.

"It's not uncommon to have one or two, but it's rare to see all eight of them." The emperor also tut tut.

There was a beautifully carved old mahogany table on the ground in front of him. This table was different from the usual ones. The legs of the table were very short, just as tall as Xiao Zhengzheng.On the long table was spread a large sheet of rice paper with various paints on it. Xiaozheng was standing by the table, holding a small lake brush with a Xiangfei bamboo pen in his hand, painting in a serious manner.No one can understand what he draws, but he draws very seriously, with a focused face.

"It's so small that you can paint!" The emperor was very proud.

In fact, the emperor also knew that the things that Xiao Zhengzheng drew were disorderly. He opened his eyes and pondered for a long time, but he didn't understand what Xiao Zhengzheng was painting.However, this did not affect his sense of pride when he saw Xiao Zhengzheng "painting".

"Xiao Zhengzheng, your eight uncles are all very talented." The emperor said with a smile.

Xiaozheng was putting down the paintbrush in his hand, and ran up to the emperor on short legs, looking at him with bright eyes.The emperor was overjoyed, "My dear grandson, do you have something important to say to your grandfather?" Look at his little appearance, as if he was about to make a grand speech, how imposing he is!This is what a royal grandson should look like.

"Talent, what is it?" Xiao Zhengzheng asked modestly.

"Talent is ability, ability, and the expression of talent and beauty outside." The emperor told him cheerfully.

Xiaozheng was frowning, "Where is it?" He asked bluntly.

What is talent, you can just show me.I can't understand you talking so much.

Xiao Zhengzheng's complexion is fair and delicate, crystal clear like the finest jade, his facial features are very delicate, his dark and vivid eyes are very energetic, not to mention how good-looking they are.The emperor was heartbroken, and when he saw him asking where his talent was, he pointed to his big belly with a wink smile, "Here it is. Good grandson, talent is in your belly and in your heart."

Xiao Zhengzheng grinned, stretched out his palm and patted the emperor's belly curiously, "Here, it's fun." The emperor laughed happily, "Xiao Zhengzheng thinks it's fun? Let's play, let's play." It is very generous to contribute the stomach and let the grandchildren play.

"Talent." Xiaozheng nodded in satisfaction.

Well, I know what talent is.

Xiaozheng was running back to the painting table, picked up the brush with great interest, and drew a big, big semicircle, saying it was a semicircle, but it was not round, it was crooked.However, it is vaguely visible, as if roughly, a semicircle.

The emperor walked over slowly, and asked kindly: "Xiao Zhengzheng, what is this painting you painted?" Xiao Zhengzheng raised his head, his eyes sparkled, and told him loudly, "Talent!"

The emperor specially summoned Mr. Pei Ge, "Pei Qing, there are now eight juren in your family. Except for Ajiu's two brothers, the other six children, let's become officials. They will be released next spring. However, they An official belongs to an official, and the official position cannot exceed four grades. If you are idle and have no real power, it is another matter."

Elder Pei Ge respectfully replied: "Minister, accept the order."

The emperor was in a good mood, "As for Ajiu's two older brothers, let's be idle for now. In the future, a title will be indispensable. Xiao Shi will not treat them badly, and Xiao Zhengzheng will not."

When Xiao Shi ascends the throne in the future, Ah Jiu's two older brothers can be made first-class uncles.It was also reasonable for Xiao Zhengzheng to sit in the highest seat and confer Marquis titles on his two uncles.

"Aqi and Ayu, this is a reward for nothing." Pei Ge was always humble for his two grandsons.

"What kind of reward is this for nothing." The emperor smiled, "One, they are Xiao Zhengzheng's relatives' uncles, which is credit; compensated."

Mr. Pei Ge thanked his grandsons, and the emperor joked with a smile, "Thank you for nothing. If you don't complain about me secretly, it's considered good. Your grandsons are all talented, but I stipulate that they can only be officials to the fourth rank. What a grievance. "

Elder Pei Ge never lied to the emperor. He told the truth, "They really are not wronged. Your Majesty, among the three sons of my ministers, only Zhonglang can achieve the official position above the fourth rank. Dalang doesn't know how to be flexible, and Sanlang has no ambitions. They are not self-motivated. Father Xiao, the children of Dalang and Sanlang, are either honest or playful, and none of them are particularly outstanding. According to Yichen, if they can achieve the fourth grade based on their aptitude, they are very lucky. .”

The emperor sighed greatly, "Pei Qing, to whom have you passed on your intelligence?"

It is difficult for the grandchildren to reach the fourth rank with their own abilities, which is far behind you.

"It's passed to Ajiu." Pei Ge smiled, "The nine grandchildren of my minister are all kind-hearted and good children, and the most clever and clever among them is Ajiu. Enjoy peace and contentment, but when encountering troubles, she is calm, alert and decisive. Your Majesty, Ajiu is better than her brothers."

The emperor is happy.Xiao Shi is my most beloved son. I gave Xiao Shi all of my wisdom and wisdom, and of course all of Xiao Ten's wisdom and wisdom were given to Xiao Zhengzheng; the same is true for the Pei family. Wisdom was given to Xiao Zhengzheng.Xiaozheng is really a good boy who is blessed by nature, the grandson of the emperor who is destined to be born!
The emperor happily praised Mr. Pei Ge for his great efforts, and rewarded him with gold, silver and treasures before letting him go.

Pei Ge always returned to Wenyuan Pavilion, sat down to do business as usual, without any sign of difference.However, this day he got off work early and returned home early.Seeing that he came back so early, Mrs. Fang couldn't help but be surprised, "Master, is there nothing wrong with the court today?" Mr. Pei Ge waved back the maidservant, and excitedly held Mrs. Fang's hand, "Madam, Ah Wei and the others can finally come back." I have become an official!" Mrs. Fang was very pleasantly surprised, "Has His Majesty got a will? This is really great."

Ever since her eldest grandson Pei Wei won the Juren, Mrs. Fang has been looking forward to them taking part in the examination one by one.However, at the beginning, Pei Wei Huohou was not available, and then Pei Ge was ordered to be the president of the examination. Then go out of office; if His Majesty doesn't speak, they will spend their days leisurely."

After so many years of anticipation, the grandchildren were finally able to participate in the test, and Mrs. Fang was so happy that she almost shed tears.

"Talk to the children and make them happy too." Mrs. Fang urged, "Except for Lin'er who hasn't come back, everyone is at home right now."

Pei Lin went back to her hometown to take the rural examination, and the result of the examination was sent back to the capital, but his Xieyuan has not returned for a long time.

Pei Ge coughed, "Madam, let me rest for a while before I tell the children."

Mrs. Fang was surprised, "What, are you tired?"

Since he was young, he has been full of energy, busy from morning to night, as if never tired.What's the matter today, there are so many important things in the court, and he is tired?
Old Pei Ge smiled a little embarrassedly, "Ma'am, I'm not tired, but... a little excited."

I am very excited after finally waiting for His Majesty's decree. I will not be calm when I see the children now.

Mrs. Fang leaned back and laughed.

Old Pei Ge also smiled heartily.

Pei Ge went to his study and ordered his grandsons to be called to him.Pei Wei, Pei Jue and other seven brothers heard that their grandfather summoned them, and they all came out soon. The seven brothers stood in a row neatly.

Pei Ge looked at his young, handsome and gentle grandchildren, and smiled with satisfaction.

"Ah Wei, Ah Jue, Ah Lang, you three are not allowed to wander around these days, and study behind closed doors." Mr. Pei Ge ordered the eldest Pei Wei, the second Pei Jue, and the fourth Pei Lang to work hard and take part in the examination next spring. .

"Aheng and Ajing, you two are waiting for the next subject just like Arlene. In the past three years, you will take one day off every ten days, three days off every month, holidays for holidays, and the rest of the time, you have to study hard." The fifth child Pei Heng, the seventh Pei Jing, and the eighth Pei Lin are still young, and Mr. Pei Ge thinks that they are not ready for fire, so they are not allowed to end next year, and they are required to work hard for another three years.

Pei Wei and the others respectfully agreed, "Yes, grandfather."

There was joy in the eyes of several young people.Grandpa finally spoke, it wasn't easy, it wasn't easy.Finally, you don't have to stay at home anymore, and the hero will have a role to play!
After the joy was over, Pei Jing noticed that his grandfather didn't mention Pei Qi and Pei Yu, and asked suspiciously, "Grandfather, where are the third and sixth brothers?"

Pei Qi and her younger brother Pei Yu stood side by side, with a calm expression on their faces, "The two of us teach the children at home. The eldest brother, the second brother, the younger brothers, no matter who lives in the same room, will be enlightened by me and Ah Yu."

Pei Xuan was serious, "Really, we two discipline the children, and we don't stop at school!"

There was sympathy in the eyes of Pei Wei and the others, and Mr. Pei Ge looked at them gently and lovingly, "Aqi, Ayu, you two brothers will have a bright future." Both brothers laughed, "Isn't it? , the two of us will definitely have official positions, and we can't be lower."

They will have higher officials than their elder brothers and younger brothers, but they will only have false titles and will not have real power in their hands.There is no way to do this, who made them the brothers of the princess and the uncle of the grandson of the emperor.

"While you are studying hard, the two of us are embracing the bright moon and the breeze." Pei Yu has always been mischievous, proudly showing off to her brothers.

"What about the bright moon and the breeze." Pei Wei and the others were not happy, "Hold the child. Ah Yuan, my brother will hand over the child to you tomorrow, so you can coax the child to play."

"Is there anything more interesting in this world than coaxing children?" Pei Xuan continued to be proud.

"When you were going to the academy or the yamen, I was playing with little Qianqian." Pei Qi, who was always rigid, also smiled slightly, showing off.

These two are annoying!Pei Wei and the others rolled their eyes.

"When Arlene returns to the capital, let's get together as a family." Pei Ge said with a smile.

"Yes, wait for Arlene to come back." Pei Wei and the others agreed with a smile.

Just wait for the old eighth Pei Lin to come back, then the whole family can reunite and have a good time.

Pei Lin did not return for a long time.

Mr. Concierge accompanied him on his trip, so there shouldn't be any safety issues.

"Why haven't you come back?" Pei's family was puzzled.

"Could it be that Xiao Ba met a beautiful and virtuous girl so much that he lingered so much?" Mr. Pei had a sweet dream.
