Ajiu

Chapter 45 Big right and wrong
After the Taihu stone was sent to the West Garden, it was placed by the lotus pond.The water in the pool is clear, with sparkling blue waves, lotus flowers are planted in the water, strange stones stand beside the pool, and flowers, plants, pines and bamboos are dotted in it, elegant and elegant, with a special flavor.

Ajiu appraised it very carefully, "The stone shape is peculiar, vigorous and powerful, rough and simple, with one peak containing the beauty of thousands of rocks; exquisitely carved, with multiple mountains and mountains, three mountains and five mountains, hundreds of caves and thousands of valleys, all in it."

Gave a very high evaluation.

Second Master Pei told the truth to the Tenth Prince, and conveyed Ajiu's thanks, "The little girl said, thank you for the generous gift from His Majesty the Tenth Prince, I am ashamed to receive it."

The weather was hot, and the tenth prince's white jade-like face was flushed with pink, and he smiled politely, "As long as the little junior sister likes it."

Second Master Pei gave lectures as usual, and when he finished, he ordered his attendants to pack up the desk and prepare to leave after class.

After all, the tenth prince was young and couldn't hide his thoughts, so he couldn't help asking: "Is my junior sister very savage? Not like that, she looks very obedient, not spoiled."

Second Master Pei was speechless.She still doesn't let go of the question of whether it is the ninth or the top ten. You gave the Taihu Stone and she also refused to call you the tenth brother. Which eye of yours sees her obedient?
"My little girl is just like ordinary little girls. She is sometimes unruly and sometimes obedient. To be the companion of the Ninth Princess, she must always be obedient and sensible. My little girl is not worthy." Second Master Pei said gently.

A trace of disappointment flashed in the beautiful phoenix eyes of the tenth prince, "It seems that I can't go to school with my junior sister." What a pity, a clever and interesting little girl like my junior sister is not suitable to be a princess.

Second Master Pei smiled, "Your Highness should go to school with the children of famous families."

The tenth prince cheered up, "Teacher, Zhang Song, the youngest grandson of Duke Ying, and I have always hit it off. Lu Gelao's youngest son, Lu Yikang, seems to be well-mannered. I will choose them as companions, okay?"

The Duke of England is an important minister in the court. Not only does his family have a hereditary title of duke, but also there will be generals who control the military power in every generation, and they are extremely loyal to the emperor and never discuss government affairs indiscriminately.Which emperor doesn't like such a courtier?The British government has stood firm and has always been the most prominent government in Benming.

The youngest daughter of the Duke of England is still a concubine in the palace. Although she has not given birth to a child, she is also named a concubine.Concubine Duan has no favors, but no one in the palace dares to look down on her. Her natal family is really not to be underestimated.

Lu Ge is always a scholar of Jinshen Palace, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and an important figure in the cabinet.He is a Jinshi of the Bingchen Division. He is not only knowledgeable, upright, but also beautiful and dignified. Lu Yikang's family background is very similar to him. He speaks elegantly and is elegant.

The two companions chosen by the Tenth Prince are very reliable.

Second Master Pei nodded with a smile, "Your Highness the Tenth Highness has good eyes."

Seeing his approval, the Tenth Prince rejoiced, "I want to practice martial arts to strengthen my body. Your Majesty has agreed, and ordered Commander Cheng to teach me martial arts. Didn't the Ministry of Rites announce ten candidates? Add Chen Lingyun from the Marquis of Linjiang to accompany me to practice martial arts."

Second Master Pei was startled, "Your Highness admires Chen Lingyun very much?" Why did you add him on purpose.Chen Lingyun is the concubine son of Marquis Linjiang, and was not on the list reported by the Ministry of Rites.

In this dynasty, there is a clear distinction between concubine and concubine, and the Ministry of Rites has always been cautious in doing things, choosing companions for the ten princes to study, and would not rashly report a concubine of the Hou family to go up.Even if there is Concubine Qiu behind this concubine of the Hou family, it will not work.

What's more, Chen Lingyun was at odds with his aunt, Mrs. Linjianghou, Qiu, and Concubine Qiu and Mrs. Linjianghou were sisters.

The tenth prince smiled indifferently, "When we met him on the road that day, didn't he call you 'Uncle'? After you left, I left him to say a few words, and his words and deeds were also generous and straightforward. .”

Second Master Pei was silent.

When Chen Lingyun was mentioned, a smile flashed across the beautiful phoenix eyes of the Tenth Prince, "Teacher, I heard from Chen Lingyun that the little junior sister was able to appreciate Taihu stones when she was just over one year old! Taihu Stone yelled 'thin, thin!'”

How interesting.Only a little bit big, you know that the beauty of Taihu stone is thin.

That mischievous and clever little girl was still innocent and innocent when she was four years and four months old. I don't know how cute she will be when she is more than one year old?The tenth prince imagined how the younger junior sister would look excitedly on his brother's back, and was fascinated leisurely.

Second Master Pei was silent for a moment, took his leave and left.

The emperor quickly decided that Zhang Song from the British government and Lu Yikang from Luge's hometown would accompany the Tenth Prince as students, and the remaining eight people, plus Chen Lingyun from the Linjiang Marquis's Mansion, would accompany the Tenth Prince to learn swords every other day. , guns, sticks, sticks, practice martial arts to strengthen your body.

Second Master Pei couldn't help wondering, "My lady, has Madam Linjiang Hou changed her original intention? How did she support the concubine?" According to Linjiang Marquis, his wife has always hated Chen Lingyun, the eldest son of the concubine. Another reason?

Lin Youhui smiled lightly, "Master, I have seen her several times when Mrs. Linjianghou was not out of the court. She is the daughter of the Duke of Xingguo's mansion. Although the mansion of Xingguo was a bit down at that time, she was still a lady of a famous family, very elegant. But , her concubine, namely Concubine Qiu Gui, has never shown her face in front of everyone."

Even if they are sisters of the same mother, there are some disagreements, and some turn against each other, not to mention the two sisters are half-brothers, not to mention that Concubine Qiu Gui was quite neglected when she was a girl.

"Perhaps Concubine Qiu Gui wants to show some flair to my sister-in-law, or Concubine Qiu thinks that Chen Lingyun is very similar to her situation back then, and wants to give him a hand, who knows." Lin Youhui said casually.

With an identity like Chen Lingyun's, it was reasonable for him to be able to enter the palace and meet the tenth prince on his way, and to be picked up by the tenth prince with Second Master Pei as his "uncle".

However, this is not an important matter and has nothing to do with the Pei family.

"Chen Lingyun told the Tenth Prince about Ajiu's childhood." Second Master Pei frowned, "That's why the Tenth Prince thought of giving Ajiu the Taihu Stone."

Lin Youhui's voice was flat, "What happened to my daughter when she was more than one year old, if her relatives and friends knew about it, what's the point? She's still so young."

"If in the future..." Second Master Pei, a loving father, was worried.

"There is no future." Lin Youhui said coldly: "From now on, Chen Lingyun will never see my daughter."

In order to choose a reading companion for the nine princesses, Concubine Xian summoned many girls from official families to meet with the palace and ask them in person.Lin Yuan, the youngest girl of the Lin family, was also on the list. Mrs. Lin was worried, "You won't choose us, A Yuan, right?" Lin Shangshu didn't take it seriously, "Probably not. , too petite and scheming."

Unexpectedly, Qiu Mei from Xingguo Duke's Mansion and Lin Yuan, granddaughter of Lin Shangshu, were finally chosen as companions of the nine princesses.Qiu Mei and Lin Yuan are both six or seven years old. Qiu Mei's eyebrows and eyes are alive, and she is very clever at first glance, but Lin Yuan is charming and naive.

Xingguo Duke's Mansion, that is Concubine Qiu's natal family.Concubine Xian was able to choose a girl from the Qiu family to choose a companion for the nine princesses, which is really meaningful.As for the other one, A Yuan from the Lin family, she is a little girl without a city mansion. Before, no one was optimistic about her.

After Mrs. Lin found out, she was so worried that she couldn't sit still, "It's okay if it's Ah Hao or Ah Chan, both of them are steady and knowledgeable. A Yuan is the youngest, and she is treated like a child at home."

Is it easy to study with the princess? You have to be extra winking.

Lin Shangshu comforted her, "What's the matter, just act according to the etiquette. Whether it is a princess, a teacher, or someone else, you must act according to the etiquette."

Mrs. Lin disagreed with him, "The son-in-law knows to push this matter away, why are you not as good as a young man?" Ah Jiu was almost sent to accompany the princess to read, Lin Youhui naturally would not hide from his parents, Lin Shangshu and Lin Shangshu Madam knows.

Lin Shangshu was a little embarrassed, "Madam, I really didn't expect that A Yuan would be elected."

Lin Yuan's family background, appearance, and talent are all good, but she is too naive. Normally, she should not be selected when choosing a companion.Lin Shangshu had to admit that he was careless.

Lin Yuan herself was very excited, "As a companion to the princess, it is very valuable! Grandfather, grandmother, I am willing to go, don't worry, you two elders, I will definitely listen to what I heard, and act according to the etiquette. Win glory, don't cause trouble for our family."

"This sensible child!" Mrs. Lin couldn't hold back the tears anymore, and burst out of her eyes.

Lin Yuan's father was in the northwest, and although her mother, Mrs. Wu, was a little worried, she was still happy.Accompanying reading to the princess, no matter how many people ask for it.It is an honor to enter the palace.

"Little cousin, I'm going to the palace." Lin Yuan proudly showed off to Ah Jiu.

Ajiu's big and round eyes were full of curiosity, "Third Cousin, do you like going to the palace very much?"

Lin Yuan nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, I like it very much! My little cousin, the palace is resplendent and magnificent, and everything is beautiful. There are also many books in the palace. The teacher is very knowledgeable. I am willing to go to open my eyes!"

Ajiu gave her a thumbs up, "Third cousin, great job!"

What a curious little girl, she is so eager to learn!
Lin Yuan cupped her little cheek and kissed her, "Little cousin, when I have a chance in the future, my cousin will take you into the palace to have fun, okay?"

Ajiu shook her head again and again, "No, no, third cousin, really don't."

This is not a trip to the Forbidden City!If I go sightseeing, no matter how many people and how crowded it is, I would like to join in the fun and enjoy the most magnificent palace in the world.But now I'm going, it's not for sightseeing at all, okay, I'm not in the mood.

Me, I'd better play freely under the wings of my parents!Ah Jiu thought very ambitiously.

Lin Yuan was overjoyed and seduced her again and again, "Little cousin, the palace is really fun and fun, go, go." However, Ajiu is a firm child, no matter how she coaxes her, just shake her head again and again.

"Funny little cousin!" Lin Yuan hugged Ajiu and kissed her, and left happily.

Although Ajiu refused to enter the palace, there were always gifts for her in the palace.There are fruits tributed by foreign countries, as well as toys from Persia and Dashi, which are novel and interesting. "Daddy, your student is not in vain, and the training is very rich!" Ajiu is a little money fan, and she smiled like a flower when she received the gift.

Once, Ah Jiu saw a long-lost fruit at home, couldn't help cheering, stepped forward to hold it up, and kissed it excitedly.Mangosteen, mangosteen, I actually saw you here!
Lin Youhui looked at her like this, and felt amused, "Ajiu, this is a mangosteen tribute from Fanbang. It is very fruity, sweet and sour. Would you like to try it?"

Ajiu nodded again and again, yes, yes, right away!
Ah Jiu washed her hands, sat on the small stool and waited for Lin Youhui to peel the fruit for her, almost drooling.

Peeling off the red and black skin, revealing the white and tender flesh, Lin Youhui fed the flesh into Ajiu's mouth.Ajiu tasted the delicacy, and closed her eyes enjoying it, it was so delicious, she deserves to be the queen of fruits!
"This is from you... my junior brother." Lin Youhui pursed his lips and smiled.

The tenth prince always called himself senior brother, but Ah Jiu refused to admit it.If Ajiu mentions the Tenth Prince, he has always been "my junior brother".

"He said, it seems that Junior Sister should write him a letter of thanks." Lin Youhui was even happier.

Second Master Pei once told her amusedly: Although the tenth prince is two years older than Ajiu, he is still very childish, because Ajiu refuses to call him senior brother, and has always been bitter about it.

Lin Youhui was in a good mood today, her lips were pink, and she was joking with Ajiu, "Good girl, baby, if you call him senior brother, you can eat mangosteen; if you don't, you won't have anything to eat, then Are you calling or not?"

Ajiu, this is too serious a question for you, right?In the face of such big right and wrong, what will you do?
