Chapter 231 Helping others, helping oneself

Xiao Pingping took the flowers and thanked them with a smile, "Xiao Shenshen, thank you, this flower is bright and beautiful, and my brother likes it very much." He hugged his younger siblings and kissed them one by one to express his love and gratitude.

Xiao Shenshen and Xiao Xie Xie saw that the flowers they sent were so popular with their brothers, they raised their heads, puffed out their small chests, giggled, and were extremely proud.

Second Master Pei, Xiao Pingping, and Aruo Ayi were all amused when they saw their small appearances.

"A child is a child." Xiao Pingping said old-fashioned.

"That's right." Both A Ruo and A Yi nodded with a smile, expressing their strong agreement.

Second Master Pei smiled.

Xiao Pingping is a good brother. He intended to encourage Xiao Shenshen and Xiao Xie, and praised a few words, "The flowers are so well picked, not only looks good, but also smells good!" Stretched out his nose and sniffed the refreshing fragrance of flowers, Close your eyes intoxicated.

Xiao Shenshen and Xiao Xie Xie were even more proud.

"My brother likes flowers so much, so grandpa will like them too, right?" The pair of twins still have a tacit understanding. They glanced at each other with a tacit understanding, and ran to the flower basket to pick a flower each, and they were very flattering and gave it to Pei Pei. Second Master, "Hua Hua, Hua Hua." He smiled flatteringly and stuffed the flowers into his grandfather's hand.

A Ruo and A Yi laughed at them, "Grandfather didn't memorize the book of war, and he didn't do anything, Xiaoshen, thank you, why did you two present flowers to grandfather? Are you trying to flatter him? It's really flattering."

The dragon and phoenix twins can't even say a whole sentence, and of course they can't reason with their brothers, they can only laugh.

Second Master Pei pulled up a small stool and sat down, holding Xiao Shenshen in one hand, and Xiao Xie in the other, with a warm smile, like a spring breeze blowing on his face, "The hand that gives someone flowers has a lingering fragrance after a long time. Xiao Shenshen, Xiao Xie Smell your own hands, is there a fragrance?" The twins understood their grandfather's words, and hurriedly stretched out their little hands to smell it carefully. After smelling it, the two children cheered, "Smell, smell!" They stretched out their little hands to show to their brothers. , repeatedly confessed, "fragrant, fragrant."

Xiao Shenshen and Xiao Xie were extremely proud.

Ah Ruo asked his grandfather with a spirit of learning and questioning, "The hand that gives someone flowers will still have a lingering fragrance after a long time. Who said this, it makes sense." Ah Yi nodded slowly, and said in agreement: "Well, it makes sense."

Xiao Pingping glanced at his two younger brothers, feeling very proud in his heart.Ah Ruo, Ah Yi, you two don't know the origin of this sentence, alas, you two are really too young and have too little experience.

Second Master Pei smiled, "Your mother said it. She knew when she was very young, 'Give someone a rose, and the hand will have a lingering fragrance', 'The hand that gives someone a flower, will have a lingering fragrance'."

She is smart, cute and calm. When she was only a little bit older, she understood that it is convenient for others and convenient for herself. Helping others is helping oneself.

Born with wisdom.

A Ruo and A Yi admiringly said, "Mother is so amazing."

Xiao Shenshen and Xiao Xie Xie didn't understand the conversation between grandfather and brother at all, but stomped their feet, admiring with great effort, "Amazing, amazing!" They looked very emotional, making grandfather and brothers all laugh up.Xiao Shenshen, Xiao Xie, you two are so cheerful, where there are you two, there is laughter.

"Who is amazing?" The voice of the fat emperor sounded.

Second Master Pei and the five children all turned their eyes to the door, and saw the fat emperor standing in front of the door in a blue dragon robe, followed by dozens of maids, with a kind smile on his face. "Grandfather!" Xiao Shenshen and Xiao Xie Xie ran towards him first, their eyes lit up when they saw their grandfather.A Ruo and A Yi followed closely behind, "Grandfather, why are you here?" "Grandfather, I miss you." Xiao Pingping became serious, unhurriedly, followed behind his siblings, and said seriously: "Don't run too fast, be careful of falling, do you hear me?"

It's a pity, it's rare for Xiao Pingping to have a sense of responsibility. A Ruo Ayi, Xiao Shenshen and Xie Xie only have their grandfather in their hearts, they didn't hear his words at all, and just ran forward.

"Slow down, slow down." The fat emperor saw that Xiao Shenshen and Xiao Xie Xie were still a little unsteady in their gait, so he rushed over at a slant, worried that they would fall, and said in one voice.

What are the two silly children anxious to do, and the grandfather can't run away.

Xiaoshen Shen and Xiao Xiexie performed supernormally today, and neither of them fell down. They arrived in front of the fat emperor smoothly, raised their faces, and shouted happily: "Grandpa!" Touching their little cheeks, "You are so good, you are really capable." A Ruoyi and Xiao Pingping also came over, calling "grandfather" in a crisp voice, and the fat emperor laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, "Good grandson."

"Why is Your Majesty so busy today?" Second Master Pei came over to salute the emperor and asked with a smile.

"I came here specially to see if you, Zhonglang, have treated my good grandson and granddaughter harshly." The fat emperor joked with great interest.

"How could it be? One of the ministers dare not, and the other is really reluctant." Second Master Pei laughed.

Talking and laughing, a group of people walked into the house.The fat emperor was obviously in a good mood today, so he specially told Erye Pei, "Zhonglang, don't be polite and polite with me. You are the principal of this kindergarten, and I am the parent of the children. Treat me like a guest." Second Master Pei smiled and agreed, "Yes, Your Majesty."

There is only one large nanmu Taishi chair in this room, which is usually used by Erye Pei when he is giving lectures.Except for this big chair, the rest are small chairs or stools, which are used by children.Everyone walked in, and when it was time to sit down, Xiao Xie graciously pulled the fat emperor to the big chair, patted the chair, "Grandfather, sit down." Second Master Pei laughed beside him, "This is the biggest and most spacious chair in the kindergarten." Please take a seat, Your Majesty." The fat emperor looked at his four clever grandsons, thanked them like snow balls, and said jokingly, "How can this be done? Zhonglang is the head of the garden, and I It's the parents, how can there be a reason for the parents to sit in the grand teacher's chair, but let the principal sit in the small chair? It's impossible to disrespect the teacher and respect the way. Zhonglang, my little ten, is the most respectful of the teacher and the way Yes, don't you think so?"

The Crown Prince is a student of Second Master Pei. His respect for Teacher Pei and his spirit of respecting teachers are highly praised by the world, and the emperor was deeply moved.

Although Erye Pei was cautious by nature, he had been with the emperor for a long time, knew the emperor's temperament and preferences, and knew what jokes could and couldn't be joked with the emperor, so he wanted to have a few jokes with the emperor.Unexpectedly, before he could open his mouth, Xiao Xie already said surprisingly, "Grandfather, fat, sit down." He stretched out his hand and patted the large nanmu chair.

Little thank you, it turns out that grandfather has to sit on a big chair because he is fat?The fat emperor stroked his chin.

Little Xie Xie turned his head, smiled flatteringly at Second Master Pei, and patted a small rose chair, "Grandfather, thin, sit down."

You are so slim, sit here.My grandfather is so fat, he insists on a big chair.

The fat emperor was delighted, "Zhonglang, no wonder your family has such a precious little girl. This little girl is really different from a kid when she becomes mischievous." Xiao Xie is so smart, knowing that his grandfather is fat and his grandfather is thin, so he arranged the seat like this .Fat people sit on big chairs, and thin people sit on small chairs. How reasonable it is, no one has anything to say.

Second Master Pei smiled slightly, "Yes, Your Majesty, the little girl is much more interesting than the kid." Looking at the cute little Xie Xie, thinking of Ah Jiu's childish words when he was young, his heart softened.

The fat emperor and Second Master Pei really sat down according to Xiao Xie's arrangement, and Xiao Xie was very proud.She looked at her brothers showing off. Xiao Pingping and A Ruo Ai gave her a thumbs up in a gracious manner to express her praise. Xiaoshen followed suit and gave her thumbs up too. Thank you for getting four Brother's affirmation, smiling.

The fat emperor happily played with the children for a while, and asked Second Master Pei, "Zhonglang, how is your father doing at home after begging for a rest?" Second Master Pei said honestly, "If you don't go out to meet friends, then I want to invite the minister's father-in-law to come to the door, and the two old people play chess and quarrel together. If the father-in-law does not come, the old man will order his great-grandson to clean the courtyard and tidy up the study. When he is in a good mood, he will also give advice on homework." After hearing this, the emperor was not kind. Have fun.Pei Kai, you insisted on begging for a rest, but after returning home with nothing to do, you actually commanded your great-grandson?
The fat emperor watched Xiao Pingping's endorsement in the kindergarten, and A Ruo and A Yi doodled graffiti casually, admiring them greatly, "Good grandson, you are so talented." He looked at Xiao Pingping and A Ruo Yi, thinking that they were all geniuses.

As for Xiao Shenshen and Xiao Xie Xie, they know nothing and don't need to know anything.As long as the two of them smile, they can get a lot of compliments; as long as they keep their mouths open, they will get endless sympathy.

The fat emperor played happily with his grandchildren for a long time that day, and did not drive back to the palace until Shen Shi.

Until parting, he and Second Master Pei did not mention the rebellion of Lingwu County King, as if it was not worth mentioning at all.

Second Master Pei never took the initiative to bring up government affairs. The fat emperor, he really didn't take this matter to heart, "Such matters can be dealt with by Xiao Shi, and I don't need to worry about my old man."

The king of Lingwu County rebelled, and the outcome is bound to be lost; Wen Chongli led an army to put down the rebellion, it may take a month or two, or even three or two months, or he may be able to return to Beijing triumphantly in less than a month.The emperor had no time to pay attention to such a war.

"In a war, who dares to say that he will win." Chen Lingyun came home on duty, and knew that Chen Lingfeng had set off with the army, his face was ashen, "Ah Feng has never been on the battlefield, and usually practiced at home, but it is just a beautiful fist and embroidered legs."

An'er looked at A Zhao tenderly, "Look, brother, how sweet A Zhao slept."

Don't think about your younger brother, it's serious to see our daughter.You have been in the army for many years, so you don't have to join in the fun in countering the rebellion this time. You, An Ansheng, led the Jinwu Guard to command Tongzhi's mission, so you can guard me and Ah Zhao, that's all.

Chen Lingfeng sat down in front of the bed with a dazed expression, "He followed Xu's cousin. Although Xu's cousin is the eldest grandson of Wei Guogong's mansion, he was strictly controlled by his uncle since he was a child, and he has no dandyism. If Ah Feng is afraid of suffering , timid, fleeing before the battle, cousin Xu will look down on him, will not forgive him, will not protect him..."

Hearing what he said, An'er suddenly panicked.Him, wouldn't he want to...?
"Brother, Ah Zhao is so young, she can't leave you." An'er grabbed Chen Lingyun's hand, and looked at him pleadingly, "And me, I can't leave you too, brother, I can't leave you... ..."

Don't go, you don't go.

Chen Lingyun was silent for a moment, took her little hand and kissed it, and said softly: "An'er, good sister, your elder brother and I have experienced many battles, no matter what, nothing will happen."

His eyes changed from hesitation and hesitation to determination.It seems that he has made up his mind.

Anger couldn't help but rise in An'er's heart.He said such nonsense, his daughter was still in her infancy, he said such nonsense!
The wife and daughter are more important than the ignorant half-brother!
"If you leave, don't come back to see me!" An'er turned her head and said stubbornly.

"How can it be?" Chen Lingyun's voice was gentle but firm, "An'er, I will definitely come back, and I will definitely come back unscathed. You wait for me, and I will be back soon!"

An'er's eyes were full of tears, and she didn't look back.

Chen Lingyun hugged her from behind, and said in a deep voice: "Wait for me, I will be back soon, and I will never leave you and Ah Zhao again!"

He took a deep look at the infant girl, turned around, and strode out the door.

A month later, Chen Lingyun brought the seriously injured Chen Lingfeng back to the capital.
