Ajiu

Chapter 24 Thank You
The Marquis of Linjiang finished setting up his house and rested for two days before going to Pei's house to deliver a post and visit Mrs. Fang.He brought his eldest son, Chen Lingyun, with him. Both father and son were dressed in sapphire blue robes, and they were as beautiful as pearls and jade.

Chen Lingyun probably found his biological mother, let go of his worries, and his expression eased up a lot, the violent aura of the previous few days almost disappeared.He obediently followed his father Lin Jianghou, at first glance, he was really a handsome, gentle and polite young man.

This pair of father and son walked on the quiet corridor of the back house of the government office, attracting the envious eyes of the servants and maids, "The cousin of the third grandma, I heard that he is a marquis in the capital, with extraordinary bearing, extraordinary bearing."

Linjiang Hou walked calmly and elegantly, he inadvertently lowered his head, and saw Aizi walking solemnly, with a rare tranquility and serenity on his immature face, and he felt sore in his heart.What was Ling'er like when Ah Zhen was not found?With Ah Zhen, what would Ling'er look like?Children, you can't live without your mother.

The Marquis of Linjiang stretched out his fair and slender fingers to caress Aizi's temple hair.Chen Lingyun raised his head and smiled at him, the smile was extremely pure.

Who would believe that this gentle little boy in front of him is the same person who swiped a knife and slashed at Mrs. Linjiang Hou not long ago.

Marquis Linjiang sighed softly, took Chen Lingyun's little hand, and walked slowly towards the hall.

Third Master Pei came out with his youngest son, Pei Lin, "Uncle, I'm so far away!" Seeing Marquis Linjiang, Third Master Pei smiled heartily.

Linjiang Hou and Pei Sanye are both good-looking, but Linjiang Hou is a few years older than Pei Sanye, calm and dignified, showing the nobility of the Hou family.Mr. Pei has a bright temperament, a handsome smile on his face, and is amiable to watch.

"I married a Hedong lion, but she married...a young son who has no intentions." Lin Jianghou and Pei Sanye exchanged polite and thoughtful greetings, feeling depressed in their hearts.

When he hurried out of Beijing to find someone, he didn't care about his cousin or not.At this moment, people were looking for it, and it stopped. Master Chen began to reminisce about the past, full of emotion.

If my uncle and aunt hadn't played mandarin ducks with sticks back then, Mrs. Linjiang Hou should be Xu's cousin.The cousin is gentle and gentle, and has been trained by the court since childhood. She will never be jealous like Qiu's and do such evil deeds.

If my uncle and aunt hadn't played mandarin ducks, I wouldn't have married a vicious or jealous woman, and my cousin wouldn't have married a white dress and become the little-known daughter-in-law of the Pei family.

My cousin and I were born of the same parent, we are married to someone who is not a person, and what we marry is not a person.

Linjiang Hou sighed deeply.

"Hello, Uncle, and my little cousin." Chen Lingyun politely greeted Mr. Pei and Pei Lin.Third Master Pei smiled at Mimi, "I haven't seen you for a few days, Brother Ling has become more and more refined." That's right, this kid still had a face of not getting close to strangers a few days ago, but today he looks more friendly.

Pei Lin was not yet two years old, she smiled shyly, and had seen her uncle and cousin.

Pei Lin's appearance was just like her father's, she was as handsome and beautiful as a powder carved jade.He loves to smile very much, and smiled at Chen Lingyun with a small mouth that has not yet grown all teeth. He is cute and called "Biao's", very cute.Heartbroken, Chen Lingyun reached out and took down a small saber from his waist, "Little cousin, it's for you." This saber was only an inch long and exquisitely carved, and it was just a child's toy.

Boys are naturally interested in swords. Pei Lin's eyes lit up when she saw the little saber, and she was very excited.However, he didn't reach out to take it, but raised his eyes to look at his father, probably wanting to ask for advice, "Can you accept it?"

The corners of Mr. Pei's mouth twitched.Well, dare this kid never leave his body with a sword, even when he comes to a relative's house as a guest, he can untie a small and exquisite saber from his waist!Are you naturally warlike?

Chen Lingyun's expression was very sincere and childish. He must like Pei Lin, so he would give a small saber as soon as they met.Third Master Pei squatted down with a smile, took the small saber for Pei Lin, and hung it on his waist, "My cousin gave Liner a meeting gift, and Liner should return it, right?" He untied it from Pei Lin's waist. Put a sapphire pendant on for Chen Lingyun, "Brother Ling, this is something to ward off evil spirits, do you like it?"

It is a small fish, carved very beautifully, even the whiskers are vivid.

Pei Lin pointed at Xiao Yu attentively, "Resist evil spirits, ward off evil spirits." He didn't know what it meant to ward off evil spirits, but it must be good and useful if his father said it so carefully.

Chen Lingyun looked at Mr. Pei's bright smile, and nodded involuntarily, "I like it."

He doesn't know if his uncle treats him with dignity or not.However, my uncle has always been very gentle to him, never smiling or talking, making people feel like a spring breeze.Even face-saving is rare.

Chen Lingyun accepted the sapphire pendant and took Pei Lin's little hand. The two children walked forward together happily.

Marquis Linjiang also came back to his senses, walked side by side with Mr. Pei, and said politely, "...I am grateful for Brother Duomeng's help. Sister-in-law, today I want to thank you face to face."

During the time when he was looking for someone, Second Master Pei helped him a lot.

Third Master Pei smiled, "My relatives should be, brother-in-law, you don't have to be polite. The second brother went to Taicang the day before yesterday, and I'm afraid he won't be able to come back today."

The ocean-going fleet is about to set sail, and Second Master Pei took Lin Youhui, Pei Qi, Pei Zhen, and Xiao Ajiu to see what's new.Of course, he's not just looking at novelties, he has a lot of official business to deal with.It was Lin Youhui and his three children who were purely watching the fun.

Marquis Linjiang knew that Second Master Pei had gone to Liujiagang with his family, and he was taken aback, "Brother Ling is very free and easy." In addition to official duties, he also took his wife and children to watch the ocean-going fleet set sail, which is really leisurely.

Mr. Pei is happy.What is the second brother being free and easy, it is the second sister-in-law who is free and easy, and it is the little Ajiu who is free and easy.The second sister-in-law wanted to open her eyes, but Xiao Ajiu was booing from the side, so there was nothing he could do.Alas, if my cousin wasn't coming, I could actually bring my wife, Heng'er, Jing'er, and Lin'er to join in the fun.

"I didn't see Heng'er or Jing'er." Lin Jianghou only remembered now that Mr. Pei only had one child with him.

Mr. Pei smiled, "Going to school. Children have to go to school when they reach their age, and they are not allowed to take leave easily."

The Marquis of Linjiang nodded, "That's right."

Unknowingly, I arrived at the living room.In the middle of the living room is an old mahogany couch with three screens inlaid with marble. Sitting on the couch is a woman in her fifties. .The Marquis of Linjiang hurriedly took his son forward to salute and say hello, "My nephew has been in Suzhou for many days, and I have been busy with mundane affairs. I have only come to visit Aunt Shi today. I am impolite, please ask Aunt Shi Haihan." Mrs. Fang smiled, "Uncle is outrageous, my family will be the same any day."

Beside the Arhat couch stood a beautiful young woman wearing a red beige and a long emerald dress. She stood gracefully beside Mrs. Fang with a respectful and affectionate expression.

The Marquis of Linjiang met Mrs. Fang, and she came over to salute with a smile on her face, "Big cousin, I haven't seen you for a long time. How is Auntie, the old man? I haven't been back to Beijing for many years, and I feel ashamed for neglecting greetings in front of my elders."

Mrs. Xu didn't pay much attention to the current situation of Marquis Linjiang, and only greeted her aunt, Mrs. Marquis Linjiang graciously.

Marquis Linjiang smiled, "Thank you cousin for thinking about it, my mother's body is as strong as it was seven years ago."

Linjianghou and Xu's cousins ​​haven't seen each other for seven years.Xu and her good aunt also haven't seen each other for seven years.

Xu smiled faintly, "That's very good."

Chen Lingyun went up to meet Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Fang cheerfully helped him up, and praised him a lot, "Ge Ling is gentle and gentle, he is really a thoughtful and polite boy!" Mrs. Fang gave him a small mahogany fan. The inkstone screen is a meeting ceremony, and the small inkstone screen is carved with war pictures, and the scene is magnificent.What Mrs. Xu sent was a small bridge and flowing water family pen stand, which has a unique shape and a profound artistic conception.

Chen Lingyun thanked him politely and thoughtfully. He looked like a prince of the Hou family, how could he have a trace of arrogance?
Mrs. Fang saw it, thought of the rumors, and wondered.This kid is fine, how can he look like a master who can cut people with a knife?

Mrs. Xu looked at Chen Lingyun with a smile, her eyes were flat.

It was this child in front of him who changed his life.Without him, I would have married into the Marquis of Linjiang's mansion and become my cousin's wife and aunt's daughter-in-law, right?Cousin will not be too bad to himself, but he will not be too good either. In short, he will not be like a husband-in-law, who will be devoted and loving to his wife.As for my aunt, she is even more incomparable with her mother-in-law. She won't be generous to herself, she definitely won't.

Uncle incurred a lot of romantic debts during his lifetime, he was having a romantic relationship outside, and aunt lived in Hou's mansion guarding her only son.The aunt herself is unfortunate, how can she make the daughter-in-law happy.

The mother-in-law is different, she and the father-in-law have the same eyebrows, and the husband and wife are deeply affectionate.In the eyes of the mother-in-law, it is only natural for a husband and wife to be harmonious and beautiful, and to stay together for life.What she would like to see the most is that her son and daughter-in-law respect and love each other, and understand and give in to each other.

It is a blessing to have such a mother-in-law.

Thank you, Chen Lingyun.Mrs. Xu smiled lightly, thank you for preventing me from jumping into the fire pit, and for allowing me to marry into Pei's family and live so comfortably.

Mrs. Xu was very gentle and polite to Chen Lingyun.Seeing this, Marquis Linjiang regretted even more. If he married his cousin, how could he be reduced to where he is today!The cousin is so educated, but Qiu's...

Marquis of Linjiang laughed and said, "My nephew was wounded by a gun in the early years, and now the old injury has recurred, so I will slowly raise him in Suzhou, a beautiful place with beautiful mountains and rivers. Therefore, we set up a house in the south of the city and plan to live there for a while. The scenery of the garden is still pretty good, I invite my aunt, sister-in-law, and cousin to show their respects, and take the children there to relax."

Mrs. Fang smiled and pushed, "Forgive me for being old and frail and lazy to go out. But San Lang and the third daughter-in-law should take the children there and recognize Uncle's door."

When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law go out together, the daughter-in-law must set rules and serve the mother-in-law, and she cannot let herself go.Mrs. Fang's words were meant to be considerate of Mrs. Xu.

How can Mrs. Xu not understand, thank you gratefully.

The Marquis of Linjiang smiled and begged again, "I beg my second elder brother and second sister-in-law to give me a favor too." Mrs. Fang readily agreed.

Mrs. Xu covered her mouth with a smile, "My cousin didn't bring any family members, so I went with my second sister-in-law, can't I greet myself?" Her tone was relaxed, as if she was joking.

Marquis Linjiang was stunned, but Mrs. Fang said kindly: "Silly boy, you and uncle are close relatives, so why should you pay attention to this? Uncle is a decent person, and when the time comes, he will let the nanny in charge come forward. What's the matter?" Woolen cloth."

Mrs. Xu smiled sweetly, and the Marquis of Linjiang secretly called out "ashamed", and hurriedly agreed, "It should be so."

Chen Lingyun, who was originally gentle, lowered his face.

My father clearly took my mother with her, but my mother will never see anyone.

Chen Lingyun clenched his lips, his eyes stubborn.

After Pei Heng and Pei Jing left school, the cousins ​​met and immediately became lively.Pei Heng was polite and thoughtful, Pei Jing was lively, Pei Lin was innocent, and the three brothers did their best to treat Chen Lingyun very well.

Chen Lingyun's eyes softened, "My father just set up a garden, it's so beautiful! The lakes and mountains, the mist and the vastness, are full of beautiful scenery. Cousin, when you come to my house, I will take you to row boats and climb mountains!"

South Park has mountains and water.

The three brothers of the Pei family clapped and applauded for their face, and the four of them chatted happily.

"Cousins ​​from your second uncle's family, please join us." Chen Lingyun warmly invited.

Pei Jing was very happy, "Really, that's great!" He and his sixth elder brother Pei Yu had always been close, so it was a wish for him to play with him.

Pei Heng smiled, "At that time, I will hold my sister's hand and not allow her to run around."

Ah Jiu's walking became more and more stable, and she wandered around all day long.She walks very fast, and often adults and brothers can't see her at a glance, and she disappears.

Both Pei Jing and Pei Lin nodded hurriedly, "Yes, you have to watch out for my sister, she runs too fast."

Ah Jiu's speed gave the brothers a headache.
