Ajiu

Chapter 77 Promotion
The team departing from the capital to Tongzhou to pick up Taishou Pei and his party was mighty and mighty. Lin Shangshu and Xiao Ajiu rode in a carriage. Uncle Pei and Second Master Pei usually stayed in the city and rode horses when they left the city.Pei Wei, Pei Jue, and Pei Qi didn't like to ride a car either, they rode a green horse alone. The brothers Xu Qian and Xu Jin from Duke Wei's mansion were ordered to pick up the sixth aunt, and they walked with the Pei family all the way, having a good chat Well, Pei Lang and Pei Yu were not good at riding a horse yet, so the two brothers from the Xu family simply took one of them and brought them on horseback.

Mrs. Xu married to Gusu far away, and has not returned to Ning for many years. Duke Wei and his wife miss him very much.When she came back, Wei Guogong and his wife were overjoyed. Wei Guogong smiled and told, "Six girls go back to Beijing, if the in-laws nod, take them home for a few days." Mrs. Wei Guogong agreed repeatedly, "Of course, of course "It's been a few years since we saw each other, and it's finally back to the capital, so why don't we go home and live here?The Xu family had already reserved an elegant and quiet courtyard in Tongzhou several days ago, and they were waiting for the prefect Pei's family to board the boat to rest.

Big men and little boys were all riding horses, and they were in high spirits. Lin Shangshu and little Ajiu sat leisurely in the carriage, chatting along the way, warm and happy.

Second Master Pei took his children out, and Lin Youhui also left the West Garden and went to Pei's house on Nanheng Street.After Prefect Pei arrives, he will naturally live in Nanheng Street. She will work with her sister-in-law, Mrs. Gu, to prepare the daily necessities used by her father-in-law and mother-in-law.Arriving at Nanheng Street, the two sisters-in-law met each other with smiles on their faces, "The family is about to reunite! I haven't seen each other for a long time, I miss you so much."

Not long after Second Master Pei and Lin Youhui left the West Garden, the sound of majestic horseshoes sounded, and the Jin Yiwei, surrounded by a beautiful boy in the prince's uniform, arrived at the gate of the West Garden with great momentum. "My second master, second mistress, and young master and miss are all not at home." The doorkeeper came up to him with a smile on his face.

Here we go again, you guys, unfortunately, today the Lord is not here!
A leader of Jinyiwei raised his horsewhip and asked, "Aren't you at home? What did you do?" The servant had been explained to him long ago, and even though he felt guilty, he still smiled, "My master is about to enter Beijing. The master took the young masters and ladies to pick up my master. My second grandmother went to Nanheng Street, because when my master arrives, he will live in Nanheng Street..."

The servant really felt relieved as he talked more and more, you come back in such a big way, our Pei family has to welcome you whether we like it or not.This time is good, all the masters are not here, so you guys must be in vain, you must be dumbfounded!Hurry up, turn your horse's head around, go back, go back.

The leader of Jin Yiwei dismounted, strode to the middle of the team, and bowed to report, "Your Majesty, all members of the Pei family are all out. Second Master Pei took his children to Tongzhou to pick them up, and Second Grandma Pei went to Pei's house on Nanheng Street." Alas, such a mobilizing teacher, no one can be seen.

The tenth prince was riding a black pony, wearing a black brocade gown with multicolored gold and gourd patterns all over the place, looking extraordinarily white, delicate, beautiful and solemn.Hearing what the leader of Jin Yiwei said, he thought for a moment, and ordered, "Help me off the horse."

Everyone is not at home, why don't you get off your horse?The leader of Jinyiwei murmured in his heart.

Although he was muttering in his heart, on the surface he was very respectful and obedient, he personally helped the tenth prince off the horse, accompanied him attentively, and the group entered the West Garden with their heads held high.The gatekeeper is so angry, none of my masters is at home, you still want to come in to harass me?Disturbing people.

The tenth prince picked a few peach blossoms in the peach grove, put them in an elegant and unique light purple purse, "Leave it to my little junior sister, and let her make peach blossom porridge." He sat in the study and wrote a letter to Ah Jiu. He wrote a letter, "...beautiful and cute, Brother Ten came to see you specially, but unfortunately you went to pick up your grandfather, and we didn't meet, it's a pity. I will come to see you another day, and I won't be at home next time." , kind and honest." After writing the letter, read it twice, seal it with your own hands, and "give it to my little junior sister."

After leaving the study, the Tenth Prince lingered for a long time in an open space in the corner of the West Garden.How nice it would be if a grill was set up here to barbecue and eat meat with my junior sister!But she's not at home, she's not at home...

The tenth prince returned to the Forbidden City with Jin Yiwei, and told the emperor sullenly, "I didn't see anyone, and my junior sister is not at home, so I went to pick up her grandfather." The emperor pushed away the hill-like memorial, and looked at the tenth prince sympathetically, " What a misfortune." Xiao Shi, Dad originally thought that this would be the last time you could see your junior sister freely, but who knew that you were out of luck and didn't even see this side.

"It's okay, I'll just go later." The tenth prince was depressed for a while, and pulled himself together.

"It's okay, it's okay." The emperor said vaguely.

Xiao Shi, Pei Kai is back, and you still want to rush to his house to meet his precious granddaughter?I'm afraid it won't work, it won't work.

The poor tenth prince was still ignorant, talked with the emperor for a while, and left excitedly.

In the late spring of this year, Pei Kai, the prefect of Suzhou, returned to Beijing to report on his duties.On the day he returned to the capital, the sun was exceptionally bright, the sky was cloudless and there was only a slight breeze, and the weather was very good.

Prefect Pei and his old friend Lin Shangshu were in the same car, chatting and chatting happily. Someone brought up an old story, and the two began to quarrel with each other.Little Ajiu sat between the two of them, smiling and reminding them, "Grandfather, grandfather, please pay attention to your image! Please pay attention to your demeanor!" The two old people laughed, patted each other's shoulders, stopped arguing, and got back together.

"Let's quarrel alone without Xiao Ajiu some other day." Lin Shangshu quietly discussed with Prefect Pei.

"It's done, don't bring little Ajiu, let's have a good fight." Prefect Pei nodded in agreement.

"If you want to quarrel, you should quarrel openly, do you need to be so quiet?" Ajiu asked with wide eyes, dissatisfied.Her skin is fair, her eyes are big, and her eyelashes are long, the long eyelashes are so sweet, even if she squints her eyes, she doesn't look vicious, she just feels funny.

"My little Ajiu likes to worry and meddle in other things, and I'm afraid she won't allow it." The grandfather and grandfather looked at her and liked her, and smiled and teased her.

"It's fine that you two don't fight!" Ajiu said bluntly with a stern face.

Like a small adult, old-fashioned, it looks like an adult is scolding a child.The two grandfathers looked at her small appearance and were very happy. "Grandfather is gentle, no fights, no fights."

Lin Shangshu discussed with Prefect Pei, "My daughter and son-in-law will go back with you, and Aqi and Ayu will go back with you, so let little Ajiu leave it to me. Ajiu likes her grandfather and grandmother, and she also likes uncle." Prefect Pei smiled, "You Daughters and sons-in-law can live wherever they like, and no one cares about them anyway. Ajiu will definitely follow her grandparents. My family is different from yours. Your family has several granddaughters, but mine only has Ajiu."

"But, it's not as fun as little Ajiu." Of course Lin Shangshu also likes sisters Lin Hao, Lin Chan, and Lin Yuan very much, but his granddaughter is not as fun and interesting as his granddaughter when he grows up.

"That is, who can compare to my little Ajiu." Prefect Pei stroked his beard and smiled triumphantly.

Uncle Pei and Second Master Pei stopped riding horses, and accompanied Mrs. Fang in the car.Mrs. Fang had her eldest son on her left and her second son on her right. She looked at Da Lang for a while, and Zhong Lang for a while, and she was very happy.For Mrs. Fang, what could be better than being surrounded by children and grandchildren?there is none left.

The eight brothers of the Pei family reunited after parting, reluctant to part, the eight brothers squeezed into a car.The carriage was originally extremely spacious, but the eight brothers sitting in such a circle suddenly seemed crowded.They don't care about these things, you and I talk, and talk happily, leaving bursts of hearty and brisk laughter wherever the carriage passes.

Mr. Pei and his wife, Mrs. Xu, were sitting in the carriage behind. Hearing the laughter of the children in front of him, he was quite relieved. In the past, he smiled slightly and asked his wife attentively, "I will see my father-in-law and mother-in-law who have been away for a long time, how does my wife feel?" Xu said with a gentle smile on his face, "I added three cute and cute children to my parents. My grandson, I don’t know what my parents will reward me? My husband, think about it for me.” Mr. Pei laughed at her, “I thought you would be timid because of your closeness to the country, but you were thinking about these things!” Mrs. Xu smiled, “How could that be?” Feeling timid? With you and my three sons by my side, do I still need to be emotionally timid?” The husband is gentle and considerate, and the son is handsome, lively and lovely. What could be better than this.

Two brothers Xu Qian and Xu Jin rode beside the car, looking at each other and smiling from time to time.The sixth uncle and the sixth aunt are as good as one person, they don't want to ride a horse, so they must accompany the sixth aunt in the car.When the two got into the car, the sixth aunt carefully supported the sixth aunt, and the sixth aunt turned her head and smiled at him... Those who don't know may think that they are a newly married loving couple.In fact, they both have three sons, and the youngest cousin is six years old.

"When you get home, you have to tell grandma in detail to make her happy." Xu Jin laughed.After the sixth aunt returned to Beijing, she lived in Nanheng Street first, and would return to her mother's house after a day or two. Grandmother couldn't see her daughter that day, so she was worried about it.It is also a consolation to hear such good things.

"Not only grandmother, but also grandfather." Xu Qian also smiled.

Wei Guogong is majestic and seldom speaks, and most of his children and grandchildren are afraid of him.However, Xu Qian, the eldest son and eldest grandson, knew that the sixth aunt was the youngest daughter born out of the first line, and his grandfather felt sorry for her marrying away, and he always felt guilty towards her.Grandfather must be eager to know about the Sixth Aunt.

Xu Jin was very afraid of his grandfather Wei Guogong. He thought for a while, "Brother, why don't you go and tell grandma, and you go tell grandfather." Chong, if you insist on giving it up to your brother, he will not be polite.At that time, if your elder brother gets a reward from your grandfather, don't be jealous, kid.

While talking, they arrived at Fucheng Gate unknowingly, and a group of people entered the capital.After entering the city, Xu Qian and Xu Jin escorted the Sixth Aunt's family to Nanheng Street, but Prefect Pei went directly to the palace without even returning home. see you.

Lin Shangshu kept sending Prefect Pei to the gate of the palace, "Old Pei, when you entered, you were the prefect of Suzhou, but when you came out, you don't know what it was." Prefect Pei glared at him, got out of the car and left.

Prefect Pei went in in the afternoon, and didn't come out until the palace gate was about to be opened.In the twilight, he walked out of the palace slowly and unhurriedly. Although he was tired all day, he was still tall and straight, full of energy.

Pei Kai, the prefect of Gusu, moved to be the Minister of the Household Department, and gave the original Jinxianghou's mansion as his residence.

Jinxiang Hou's Mansion is grand and magnificent, occupying half a street. There are mountains and rivers in the mansion, and the scenery is pleasant.Later, the Marquis of Jinxiang had no sons, and the marquis was removed, so the Marquis' mansion became vacant.From now on, this will be the residence of the Pei family.
