Ajiu

Chapter 78 Naming
Uncle Pei and Second Master Pei had been waiting outside the palace gate for a long time. When they saw their father coming out, they hurried up to meet him and helped him into the carriage, "Father, are you tired?" He took off the teapot from the board, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to his father.

Prefect Pei, no, he should be called Pei Shangshu at this moment. He sipped his tea comfortably and smiled, "Father will not go back to Gusu. He will stay in the capital and serve as Minister of the Household Department." "Oh," said, "Father, you have been promoted, congratulations!"

Pei Shangshu looked at the two sons with some puzzlement, "Why do you two seem not surprised at all, there is no surprise on your face at all?" Member, the head of a book, you two are so neither salty nor dull, it makes me feel very unfulfilling to be a father.

Uncle Pei smiled a little embarrassedly, "Father, Zhonglang and I have heard of it a long time ago." It's not that we were not surprised or surprised, mainly because we had heard of it a long time ago.

Second Master Pei refilled the green tea for his father, and said with a smile: "When Ajiu headed back into the palace, the Tenth Prince took her to the Qianqing Palace to meet His Majesty the Emperor, and Ajiu remembered what His Majesty said, and went home. Learn from us." Second Master Pei's mouth is very tight, and he won't show it to people who have nothing to do with it, but with Uncle Pei, he will naturally not hide it.

Pei Shangshu's face darkened, and he raised his head to look at Second Master Pei with sharp eyes, "The Tenth Prince took little Ajiu to Qianqing Palace? Zhonglang, what's going on?" He used an excuse to go out to play in the palace, and ended up meeting little Ajiu in the West Garden, "...Father, he treats Ajiu as a junior sister, and he looks like a senior brother."

Pei Shangshu's expression was indifferent, "My little Ajiu has a grandfather, three fathers, and eight elder brothers, so I don't need the senior brother Tenth Highness to take care of me." Second Master Pei quickly and respectfully agreed, "Yes, father, you are right, This is the reason. The son is just thinking, Ajiu is only five years old, and it is not yet time to avoid suspicion. After a few years, when Ajiu grows up, the son will find a way out..."

"Why wait a few more years." Pei Shangshu shook his head disapprovingly, "Is my little Ajiu a man with a foreign surname who can see him whenever he wants? Even if he is over five years old. His Majesty gave me the original Jinxiang Hou Mansion, this mansion It occupies a vast area, and the main inner room is particularly magnificent and unique. Zhonglang, after our family moved there, little Ajiu lived in the main inner room with her grandparents. No matter who wants to see her, I must be my grandfather. Just nod your head."

Second Master Pei was taken aback, "Live with you and mother? Dad, this kid is very naughty, don't tire the old man..." He and Lin Youhui have always taken Ajiu as their sweetheart, and now they suddenly want to follow Grandparents live, really can not accept.

Uncle Pei was concerned about another matter, and asked in disbelief: "Father, Your Majesty really gave you the original Jinxiang Hou Mansion as your residence? My son has heard of that place, and there are so many flowers." In the capital In such a place where rice pearls pay off, the Pei family can only afford the small yard on Nanheng Street, and it is really unexpected that they can live in the rich and luxurious Hou Mansion.

Pei Shangshu looked at the second son quietly, not angry but awe-inspiring, "Your mother and I don't think little Ajiu is naughty, we are not old, we can take care of our little granddaughter!" Second Master Pei's scalp became numb from his father's sight, and he dared not say any more What, "Yes, you and mother can take care of it, you can take care of it." He complained in his heart, lady, what should I do?Seeing Dad like this, there is no room for change.

The father and son returned to Nanheng Street, and the family reunited, which was very lively.In the small Pei house on Nanheng Street, there were laughter and cheers from time to time, "So, we can move to the new house tomorrow? Very good, very good." Uncle Pei joked with his younger brother in a good mood, "Zhong Lang , we will live next to each other in the future, we will go out early and return late, and we can travel all the way, and we can save a car." The two brothers, both of them worked in the Imperial Academy, stopped by.

Mr. Pei coughed lightly, and whispered to Mrs. Xu, "Lady, I'm guilty. The elder brother and the second elder brother have both won Jinshi, but I haven't found a place yet. Will you lose face when you compare with the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law?" Mrs. Xu chuckled, "What's the point? Mr. Mrs., you are the younger brother, and of course you are the youngest brother." Mr. Pei muttered in a low voice, "No, I'm even more guilty. Have the guts to accompany you back to your mother's house." Xu laughed uncontrollably, "What about it? My father and mother don't like this."

Ah Jiu already knew that my grandfather was going to be the Minister of the Household Department, but the emperor also gave a Marquis Mansion as his residence, which was a surprise.Ajiu's face is pink, and her big eyes are shining with joy. She is moving, to a very luxurious place!
Ajiu Xing Didi ran to her grandparents, "Our family is big, isn't it? Grandpa, grandma, can I live in a yard by myself? I'm almost six years old!"

At the age of five or six, many boys would move out of the inner house, away from their mother's sight, and live in the outer courtyard.At this age, although I can't be independent, I can still leave my mother.

Pei Shangshu smiled warmly, "Little Ajiu is only so young, how can she live in a courtyard alone? Live with grandparents, okay?" Mrs. Fang has always been generous. Although she loves little Ajiu, she never thought about it. She took over her little granddaughter from her daughter-in-law to raise her, but she knew that Pei Shangshu would not bring up this matter for no reason, so she smiled kindly, "Young niece, follow grandma."

Second Master Pei looked at his wife uneasily, but he saw Lin Youhui congratulating the elder with a serious face, "Ah Jiu is a bit naughty, the elder is bothering you." He agreed without hesitation, without objection at all.

While Erye Pei was relieved, he also felt strange, why did the lady suddenly give up?
Ajiu looked at her grandparents, then at her parents, and smiled sweetly, "I was a little naughty at first, but my grandparents are old and can't stand the trouble, I'll be a good boy in the future, listen I heard it said, don't let grandparents worry about it."

Mrs. Fang's heart was broken, she took little Ajiu over, and smiled Mimi, "My dear girl, don't hold back, if you want to be naughty, then be naughty. Grandma is tough, don't be afraid!" Pei Shangshu laughed, "Anyway Grandpa is usually not at home, so if you want to make trouble, little Ajiu, you can only make trouble with your grandmother. Grandma doesn't dislike you, and grandfather doesn't care." Ajiu leaned on Mrs. Fang's lap, playfully pretending to be grandpa A grimace made everyone laugh.

The next day, Ajiu didn't even go to school, she asked for leave, and was busy with moving.Lin Youhui had reasoned with her, "Daughter, your mother will take care of you when you move, so you can go to school, it's okay." Ajiu firmly disagreed, "How can I not be present for such a big matter?" Lin Youhui couldn't help her, I had no choice but to send someone to the school to ask for leave, and let her make trouble at home.

We are moving!Ajiu was busier than adults, turning around like a small spinning top, taking all her personal belongings, starting from small teapots and teacups, to books, paper, clothes and jewelry, and watching the little girls tidy up. "Mother, have you put away the chick's broken shell? Don't lose it." Lin Youhui was afraid that Lin Youhui would cause chaos in his busy schedule and neglect her strange stone worth nine figures.Lin Youhui pursed his lips and smiled, and handed the red sandalwood box containing the broken chicken shell to her hand, "My dear girl, can you hold it? If you can hold it, then go to the car with it. Let's go to Jinning Street." The Pei family will move to the original Jinxiang Hou's Mansion, there are two families on this street, one is the original Jinxiang Hou's Mansion, and the other is Ningyuan Hou's Mansion, hence the name Jinning Street.

The temptation of the nine-digit number to Ajiu was too great. She struggled for a while, and she picked up the rosewood box, "Mom, I can carry it." Lin Youhui smiled, took her little hand, and held the chicken bag for her. Shell, go out and get in the car.

"Shouldn't the name of Jinning Street be changed? Our family moved here and changed it to Peining Street." Ajiu sat comfortably in the carriage and discussed the rationality of the street name with Lin Youhui.You see, it used to be that Jinxiang Hou's Mansion lived here, and the street name was Jinning Street; now that Jinxiang Hou's Mansion has been changed to Pei's Mansion, the street name should naturally be changed to Peining Street, to be more realistic.

Lin Youhui teased her, "The most precious thing in Pei's family is little Ajiu, how about changing it to Jiuning Street?" Ajiu was leaning on the backrest a little lazily. After listening to this for a while, she sat up straight and opened her eyes Zhongman was full of longing, and asked attentively: "Is it possible? Mom, can it really be changed to Jiuning Street?"

Really? Really, a street will be named after me?
Lin Youhui was just teasing her casually, but she didn't expect her to show a strong interest in it, so she asked for a moment, "Well, my dear girl, I'll answer you after Mommy consults an expert, okay? "Ajiu nodded her head again and again, "Okay, okay, mother, please ask, please ask."

Lin Youhui fainted.Little Ajiu, good girl, mother doesn't know that you are so... self-motivated.

Street name, which department is in charge of this?Lin Youhui thought for a while, and it is said that the capital is under the jurisdiction of the Shuntian Prefecture, but in fact, only the rural areas are under the jurisdiction of the Shuntian Prefecture, and the streets and ditches in the city are under the management of the Ministry of Industry.Well, the matter of changing the street name has to be asked by the Ministry of Industry to find a competent person.

"Little Ajiu, since mother has promised you, then she must keep her promise." Lin Youhui thought with a smile while touching his daughter's little head.

Ajiu didn't know what she was thinking, she raised her face and giggled.

If Ajiu knew that Lin Youhui was planning to change the street name, he would be even more elated.

The mother and daughter drove to the front of Pei's Mansion on Jinning Street, and the doorkeeper greeted them with a smile, "Second Grandma and Miss Nine are here, Madam, Eldest Grandma, and Third Grandma are waiting." The carriage entered the mansion through the side door , along a straight and clean Yonglu to the front of the Chuihua Gate.

Moving house, everywhere is a mess.Mr. Pei is busy in the outer courtyard. Inside the inner house, Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Xu are reluctant to bear Mrs. Fang's hard work, "Mother, you can take command, what is wrong with us, you tell me, we will make changes." Mrs. Fang smiled reproachfully. She said, "Although I'm old, I'm not too old to move!" Seeing Lin Youhui dragging Ajiu in, Mrs. Fang hurriedly beckoned to Ajiu, "Daughter to judge, your aunt and third aunt actually dislike your grandmother's old age. It's gone." Gu and Xu laughed and called "injustice", Lin Youhui pursed his lips and smiled, Madam Fang couldn't help but also laughed, the mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and sister-in-law were very happy.

Ajiu stood in front of her grandma in a dignified manner, "Grandma, I have a good idea. Let's keep my mother, auntie, and auntie busy. When they finish their work, I will accompany you. Let's walk over one by one, picking faults! Even if we pick the bones in the egg, the two of us, grandparents and grandchildren, must be speechless by what the three sisters-in-law say! At that time, you will avenge all your revenge... ..."

Before Ajiu finished speaking, her grandmother, aunt, mother, and third aunt all laughed softly, "Little Ajiu, you are getting more and more naughty!"

Everyone in the Pei family moved and cleaned up happily. Although they were busy, the family reunion was such a happy event, they were not too tiring, and they were very busy.Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Wei Guogong knew that Pei Shangshu had only arrived in the capital not long ago, and there were not enough manpower, so they sent maids, mothers-in-law and servants to help.There are many people and strength is great, but within a day or two, the move has been roughly completed and people can live there.

Mrs. Fang called Mrs. Xu, "You haven't returned to Ning for many years, and your in-laws and their wives don't know what to worry about. Tomorrow, the family affairs will be left to your sister-in-law and second sister-in-law. You take the children and go back to your mother's house."

Mrs. Xu said a few words modestly, seeing that Mrs. Fang's meaning was very clear, she didn't insist anymore, "The family affairs are too much for the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law, so I have to worry about it. I will bring the children tomorrow and go back to my mother's house to say hello to my parents. .”

Mr. Pei happened to open the door curtain and came in, and said with a smile, "No, no, it's okay to take only three sons, and I'm still there. Ma'am, am I really helpless? You didn't take me when you went back to your mother's house." Mrs. Xu was troubled by him. She blushed and complained in a low voice, "In front of mother, you are still glib." Mrs. Fang cheerfully said, "Take it with you, let alone whether he is good or not, without him, you really don't look the same. "Xu's face became even redder, like the morning glow, bright red.

Mrs. Fang prepared gifts for Mrs. Xu, including tonics and medicinal materials for Mrs. Wei Guogong, Suzhou Song Brocade for Mrs. Wei Guogong, and clothing materials and toys for Mrs. Xu's brothers and sisters-in-law, nephews and nieces. .On the next day, Mrs. Xu and Mr. Pei went out side by side affectionately, and took their three sons, Pei Heng, Pei Jing, and Pei Lin, to Duke Wei's mansion.
