Ajiu

Chapter 56
Ah Jiu had a pair of beautiful almond-shaped eyes, which were originally big, but now she stared angrily, making her eyes even bigger and rounder.The pink face, the big black eyes, and the look of wanting to quarrel with others, like a kitten with its teeth and claws, not vicious, but interesting.

"Little Junior Sister, what's wrong with you? The tenth brother just came, how did he offend you?" Seeing Ajiu like this, the tenth prince was puzzled.

He was accompanied by a servant, carefully holding the box containing the strange stone.

The tenth prince took the box from the servant, and held it in front of Ajiu as if offering a treasure, "Two strange stones, one in the shape of a watermelon, and one in the shape of an eagle, are the same as the real thing. Take a look, Junior Sister, do you like it?"

Come to give a gift.Although it was a bit fierce, but it was a gift... Ajiu thought weakly.

The box was opened, and two strange stones with bright colors and realistic shapes appeared in front of Ajiu, and Ajiu was quickly attracted.These two pieces are also beautiful!Although it's not as valuable as a chick breaking its shell, it shouldn't be worth much, right?Ajiu looked at the strange stone with nostalgia, and estimated the price in her heart.

There seemed to be soft sister coins fluttering in front of her eyes one after another, and Ajiu's eyes were gentle and blurred.

It is one of the most useful things in the world, a lot of convenience and a lot of enjoyment can be bought.

When the tenth prince talked to her again, she was embarrassed to put on a small face, which made people look bad.

"Little junior sister, what happened to you just now?" The tenth prince asked her softly.

"I was scared by Jin Yiwei." Ajiu smiled sweetly, "I was having fun, so many Jin Yiwei rushed in at once, scaring people."

The tenth prince frowned, turned his head, and looked at Commander Cheng with dissatisfaction.Commander Cheng shuddered in his heart, and hurriedly laughed and said: "Jin Yiwei has always acted like this when traveling with escorts, but Miss Nine is young and afraid of being frightened, I should think about this and be flexible. Dereliction of duty, dereliction of duty."

This process of command makes being an official very smooth.Obviously what he did was in accordance with Jin Yiwei's old rules, and there was nothing wrong with it, but before the Tenth Prince could reprimand him, he insisted on finding out something wrong with him with a wink.

"It cannot be like this in the future." The Tenth Prince ordered coldly.

"Yes!" Commander Cheng respectfully agreed.

Are you still coming?In fact, there is no need to bother so much, you can just ask the servant to give it to me.Ajiu had a headache when she heard the Tenth Prince's sentence "This cannot be done in the future".

It is not a good thing that Jin Yiwei often visits the house.

"Mu Mansion, which is across the street, was ransacked by Jin Yiwei a few days ago." Ajiu whispered, "Brother Ten, I was scared when I saw Jin Yiwei..."

You guys don't come, okay?This battle is really overwhelming.

"Junior Sister, don't be afraid." Seeing her face turn white, the Tenth Prince comforted him distressedly, "As long as Brother Ten is still alive, your family will definitely be born in An An, don't be afraid."

Ajiu looked up at him, with tears in her big eyes.Junior brother, you are obviously not too stupid, why can't you understand what I say, am I being too reserved?
Seeing that her tears were about to fall, the tenth prince felt embarrassed, his face flushed slightly, "Well, junior sister, let's go to see the teacher's wife." Holding Ajiu's little hand, he walked inside.

Lin Youhui came out to greet her, and saw that Ajiu seemed to be about to cry, she was taken aback, "What's wrong with Nannie?" She bowed and saw the Tenth Prince, she knelt down and asked her precious daughter softly.

Ajiu didn't speak, and threw herself into her arms, her little head resting on her chest weakly.

I took a hit, I took a hit...

Ah Jiu's life has always been smooth, but she feels frustrated in front of the very unsympathetic Tenth Prince.

Lin Youhui was very distressed, and tried his best to coax her, "Is it okay to eat fruit? Is it okay to read the picture book? Is it okay to kick the shuttlecock? I don't like it. Then, how about a picnic? Set up a small stove, put on a grill, Build a fire..."

"I'm going to make honey sauce ribs!" Ajiu raised her face and said with sparkling eyes.

It turns out that the little junior sister doesn't like it, but likes to have a picnic!The tenth prince looked at it worriedly for a long time, and finally understood.

Lin Youhui ordered the maid to prepare the ingredients, set up a small stove in an open space in the corner of the garden, set up the grill, lit a fire, wrapped two cleaned chickens and two clay pots containing ribs in mud, and buried them Get under the fire.He threw in a dozen pieces of sweet potatoes and baked them together.

Ajiu stared eagerly at the fire, "That pork ribs are made with a lot of stone honey. After they are cooked, they will be fragrant." In fact, it would be better to wrap them in tin foil, but Ajiu couldn't find high-temperature-resistant paper in this era, so he had to Used clay pots.

Peel off the yellow mud, revealing the tinfoil; peel off the tinfoil, a smell of meat and honey overflows, making your index finger move and your appetite whetted.

Ajiu was so slanderous that she was about to drool, the tenth prince looked at her gluttonous little appearance, shook his head and sighed funnyly, "After all, I'm still a child, I only want to eat." Junior sister, you are such a child.

Ajiu giggled, "The ancients have said, 'Only eat and forget worries'. Eating is a big deal. My grandfather said that if he is the governor of the county, if everyone under his rule can have food Eating, even if the merit is immeasurable."

There were obviously tables and chairs next to them, but the two of them didn't sit down. They squatted by the fire and waited for the ribs to be cooked.

"My third and sixth brothers are about to leave school, and so are my cousins. When they come back, it's just in time to eat meat." Ajiu's eyebrows were crooked with a smile.

"They really have good food." The tenth prince complained, "We have waited for so long, and they will have something to eat when they get home."

The little junior sister has been looking forward to a beautiful event for a long time, but they don't have to wait for a moment.

"I don't need to go to school." Ajiu smiled happily, "Brothers and sisters have to go to school, it's very hard."

I am a preschooler!Ah Jiu felt so happy, so don't mention it.

Being so small, I don’t need to go to work or go to school. My parents dote on me, my brothers and sisters let me in, my grandparents take good care of me, and there’s even a younger brother who brings delicious and fun food from a distant palace... How much Good life.

"Little junior sister doesn't like going to school?" The tenth prince laughed.Little lazy melon, you don't even want to go to school, you are more carefree than me.When I grow up, I will be the king of wealth and leisure, but I have to go to school and study.

"I don't love it." Ajiu giggled and shook her head.

Who loves to go to school? I think I went to school for more than 20 or [-] years, and I haven’t gone to school enough.

"Little lazy melon." The tenth prince laughed at her.

"Not only that, I'm still a little slander cat." Ajiu made a face at him.

The younger junior sister is slanderous, gluttonous, and loves to have picnics, and the tenth prince firmly remembered this when he saw Ajiu's flower-like smiling face.

Ah Jiu's hexagram was very accurate, as expected, when the chicken and ribs were almost cooked, Pei Qi and Pei Yu happened to be home from school.The two of them came back with their cousins. They went to see their grandmother and aunt first, and then went back to the West Garden through the lane.Before reaching the end of the lane, two Jinyi guards with knives appeared and asked sharply, "Who are they?"

"Pei Qi."

"Pei Xuan."

The two brothers bowed their hands politely and clearly stated their names.

"It's the young master of the Pei family." Jin Yiwei stepped aside and made way for him.

They have knives, dare to go forward?Pei Qi and Pei Yuan glanced at each other.

Gathering their courage, the two walked forward with their heads held high.It's a blessing, not a curse, and a disaster can't be avoided. No matter what happens, stay calm, stay calm!

Out of the lane, Jin Yiwei, who looked like a leader, greeted them with a smile, and led them to the fire.

"Third Brother, Sixth Brother!" Seeing the brothers coming back, Ajiu jumped up happily and ran towards them cheering.

"Is my sister okay?" Pei Qi pulled her up and down to look her up and down, her eyes were full of worry.Pei Xuan circled around Ajiu, seeing that her sister was normal except for some dirt on her skirt, so she squatted down and reached out to pat the dirt off her skirt.

The tenth prince smiled and waved, "Come here, brothers, you are familiar with me." When Pei Qi and Pei Yu saw him, they understood what Jin Yiwei was here for, and greeted them politely. Sit down on the small stool, "Third Brother, Sixth Brother, sit down quickly." While greeting the two of them, he ordered someone to invite his cousin.

The cousins ​​of the Lin family arrived, and the meat was cooked, and they were placed on the table one after another.Beggar chicken, pork ribs in honey sauce, and roasted sweet potatoes are attractive in appearance and full of aroma.

"Keep half of it, and send the other half to my grandmother, aunt, and mother." Ajiu distributed it like a little adult, in an orderly manner.

The brothers and sisters all smiled when they saw this little Ajiu.The tenth prince is also happy, the young junior sister Ganqing is not only unreasonable and bragging, she can really work.

Ah Jiu finished her business and greeted everyone enthusiastically, "Start! Meat is scarce and there are many people, basically relying on robbing, everyone, don't be polite!" She picked up a piece of honey sauce ribs, sniffed it first, then took a bite carefully, stretched out Thumbs up, "Delicious!"

The tenth prince smiled and said: "Want to grab it? Then I will do as the Romans do, so you are not welcome." He also ate a piece of honey sauce pork ribs, and even praised it as delicious.

Eating meat and drinking fruit wine, everyone was in high spirits.

The tenth prince called Ajiu "little sister", but he refused to call Pei Qi and Pei Yu "senior brother", "I have officially become a teacher, and the junior sister was also enlightened by the teacher, the two brothers are not, the teacher is someone else .”

Both Pei Qi and Pei Yuan were not enlightened by their father, Second Master Pei.

"Teacher's students, there are only me and my junior sister!" The tenth prince said proudly.

Ajiu put down her chopsticks and stared, "Originally, I would be my father's only student, I would be unique! Because of you, I am no longer the only student!"

Pei Xuan sat beside her, and took a handkerchief to wipe the oil from the corners of her mouth.The tenth prince offered sincere comfort, "You are the only one, how lonely you are! Junior sister, wouldn't it be nice for me to be your companion?"

Ah Jiu rolled his eyes at him, picked up the chopsticks, and continued to deal with her favorite beggar's chicken and spare ribs.It's better to eat meat, it's better to eat meat.

The tenth prince stayed at Pei's house for a long time, finished his meat and wine, and left happily.

After leaving Pei's house, he went straight back to the palace without visiting the Yinding Bridge.

"This piece of honey sauce ribs and this chicken leg are reserved for you." The tenth prince went to thank the emperor, and also sent a piece of ribs and a chicken leg as a token of his affection.

The emperor was very happy, "It smells delicious!"

The emperor took out a piece of paper with the words "Wei, Liang, Huai, Teng, Xiang, Jing" written on it, "Which title does Xiao Shi like? Come and pick one. You pick the rest, and I will give you three younger brothers." .”

The tenth prince wondered, "Father, I'm not yet ten years old."

It is customary in this dynasty that the prince is granted the title of prince at the age of ten, and only then will he be given the title.The ten princes are all under age, and the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth princes are even younger, let alone the age to become kings.

The emperor smiled slightly, "Two years earlier, two years later, it doesn't matter. Your brothers already have titles, and only you and your three younger brothers are left. It's good to be crowned king as soon as possible, and my father has settled his mind."

The ten princes refused to choose, "The most noble titles, Qin, Jin, Qi, Chu, Zhao, and Yan, have already been conferred on the sons of the emperor, the ancestors, and the rest, I think they are similar."

The emperor smiled with a good temper, "If you don't pick one, dad will make one for you."

The tenth prince said casually: "Father, it's up to you."
