Chapter 35
In the evening, Tian Wenru and his eldest son Tian Yuqiao entered the house one after another.
Ah Bao and his cousin Tian Yushi helped Mrs. Tian to greet each other, and after greeting each other, Mrs. Tian sat in the first place, looked at her son and eldest grandson happily, and said: "You have all worked hard today, I haven't seen Brother Qiao for a long time, Brother Qiao is good?" Brother Qiao's daughter-in-law is good? Two kids are so ......."
After the old lady asked one by one, Tian Yuqiao replied calmly: "It's all good." Tian Yuqiao returned to Beijing to report on his work, but his wife and children were not brought back.
Mrs. Tian is an old lady who is very easy to satisfy, as long as her children and grandchildren are safe and healthy, everything is smooth. Everyone also knows this, so when facing the old lady, if there is no other major matter, say anything, the old lady listens to it and laughs, her mood is open, and her body is also healthy.
Ah Bao hadn't seen his eldest cousin for a long time, and he greeted him with a well-behaved and gentle face.
Ah Bao secretly observed the two cousins who had not seen him for a long time, the Tian brothers were all scholarly men, with good genetics, handsome appearance, a talent, and a temperament that was polite, modest and polite, not like King Jin who was imposing and breathless when he stood in front of him. Of course, although the second cousin Tian Yunan looks handsome and modest, he really can't have any illusions when he thinks of the scene when he naughtily pulled his braids when he was a child, and then was thrown away by her, crying with two snots and running to the adults to complain. The eldest cousin has been away from Beijing for a few years, and he has been sharpened more and more calm, and he seems to be a reliable man.
In Bao's heart, his eldest cousin, who is seven years older than him, is like a brother, much better than his second cousin, who only bullied him like a naughty little boy when he was a child.
Tian Yuqiao smiled affectionately at Bao: "Bao has grown up, is my uncle okay?" ”
"Daddy is fine, Xie Lu and Cousin Xie are concerned."
After a few words of greeting, Ah Bao sat back in his place and listened to the family chatting happily about family affairs.
Po secretly observes the two cousins, and the two cousins also secretly observe her. Tian Yuqiao remembered that this cousin was now in a situation like a fragrant dumpling, frowned secretly, glanced at his father and younger brother, and finally didn't say anything.
Tian Yuqiao still has some impressions of his deceased aunt, and he also regrets his aunt's early death, and he can't help but care more about this little cousin. He was very different in age from his little cousin, and treated her as if she were his sister. In his opinion, his cousin will be in this situation now, and Li Jiyao's status has risen too fast in recent years, and several princes want to win over Li Jiyao for their own selfishness, so they will aim at Li Jiyao's only daughter regardless of it.
After talking for a while, Tian Wenru suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said, "Mother, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will come to visit you tomorrow." ”
After hearing this, Mrs. Tian was taken aback and hurriedly said, "Where did my old wife bother His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to visit in person?" But what's the matter? ”
When the prince was young, Tian Wenru was awarded the post of Taifu by the emperor to teach the prince, and the prince had a teacher-student friendship, the prince has always respected him, and he also respected the old lady Tian and his wife. It's just that no matter how familiar they are, he is also the prince of the dignified East Palace, the future son of heaven, the Tian family never dares to be complacent, acts carefully and prudently, and never presumptuously because of the prince's courtesy.
Tian Wenru said helplessly: "I don't know, the prince only said that he would come over tomorrow, mother, you have a preparation in your heart, and the family will trouble you when the lady arrives." ”
Chen was busy.
Mrs. Tian thought about it, but she didn't know the prince's intentions, and said with a smile: "The prince is a good prince, if he comes, you will be entertained." ”
The Tian family should be the same, but they thought in their hearts, they will naturally be entertained, that is the prince, who dares to be slow?
After dinner, we chatted for a while, and when we saw that it was getting dark, Ah Bao helped my grandmother back to rest.
Tian Wenru took his two sons to the study and asked about the eldest son's entry into the palace to report on his work.
After Tian Yuqiao finished answering his father's words, he changed his words and said, "Dad, Ah Bao ...... now"
"It is difficult for the Marquis of Weiyuan to ride a tiger now, and I don't know what will happen to Ah Bao in the future." Tian Wenru said worriedly: "I know what you want to say, Ah Bao is the only child left by your aunt, I am also distressed, I heard that when King Qi and King Ning asked the emperor to marry Ah Bao, I asked to see the emperor alone the next day, I wanted to show the emperor that your aunt had married Ah Bao and Yu Nan, so that Yu Nan married Ah Bao, and also saved the emperor from embarrassment, but who knew that the emperor spoke directly, so that I don't have to worry about it, Ah Bao's marriage He has already asserted. ”
Hearing this, Tian Yuqiao frowned, and Tian Yunan secretly patted his chest, great, he didn't have to marry a murderous cousin.
"Dad, is it ...... Does the emperor really want Ah Bao to marry the prince as a concubine? ”
Tian Wenru sighed, nodded and said, "The emperor probably means this." "Emperor Zhengde is now reusing Li Jiyao, and he is afraid that Li Jiyao's only daughter has already had his own calculations, so it seems that King Ning of Qi tossed this experience, but it just made the emperor more and more attentive.
Tian Yuqiao pondered for a long time and said: "Daddy, do you know which prince the emperor wants to take Abao?" Thinking about several princes who did not marry wives, the fifth prince, the sixth prince, the seventh prince, and the eighth prince, Tian Yuqiao felt that the eighth prince, King Chen Liujun, was a good candidate.
Tian Wenru touched the beard on his chin and said: "The holy will is unpredictable, the left and right are just those unmarried princes, and the other married and young ones are not considered." ”
By the time the Tian Yuqiao brothers left their father's study, it had already risen at the beginning of the month.
The brothers walked side by side, the little guy holding a lantern to light the way, and the two chatted as they walked.
"Big brother, I don't want to marry my cousin, don't push my cousin to me." Tian Yunan expressed his determination with his brother.
Tian Yuqiao glared at him amusefully and asked, "What's wrong with Bao?" "One is a younger brother, the other is a younger sister, in Tian Yuqiao's heart, both of them are good, especially the two childhood sweethearts grew up together, if they get married, it is not bad in his opinion, but unfortunately the world is unpredictable.
Tian Yuqiao said exaggeratedly: "As long as I remember that when my cousin pulled my arm when I was a child, she fell out of the jaw and swallowed out one of my front teeth, and I couldn't afford to marry her." ”
"Poof, I'm afraid I feel ashamed." Tian Yuqiao couldn't help laughing, "Who made you so naughty when you were a child, always pulling Bao's braids, messing up her hair and dirty clothes, and bullying little girls, isn't it fun?" You also deserve it, you just reached the age of changing your teeth, and you bully the little girl with your mouth with missing front teeth every day...... Tut! ”
"Big brother!" Tian Yunan was ashamed and indignant to death, and he didn't bring such a knife.
Tian Yuqiao patted his younger brother's head and sighed that time flies so fast, and his younger brothers and sisters have grown up.
*******
On the other side, Ah Bao wo talked to his grandmother on the bed about his life on the border in the past few years, and he picked out some pleasant words, downplaying the bloody war and other matters, and also made the old lady listen to it happily.
"My grandmother has really grown up, and she knows how to grow vegetables for your grandfather to eat, and my grandmother has never tasted it." Mrs. Tian touched her granddaughter's black hair and said happily.
Ah Bao wrinkled his nose and said: "Grandmother, you don't know what to do, Daddy has a bad habit, he doesn't like to eat vegetarian dishes, and he often secretly asks his subordinates to help eat vegetarian dishes in the military camp. I learned to grow vegetables with a few aunts at the border, and my father saw that under my filial piety, it was not easy to pour it out, so I could only eat it with a bitter face, and the combination of meat and vegetables would be nutritious, and the body would be healthy and long-lived. ”
"I know so much." Mrs. Tian said very cooperatively.
“……”
Po quickly corrected his embarrassed expression and discussed nutritious food with his simple-minded grandmother.
The maid and grandmother who were waiting outside couldn't help but purse their lips when they heard the embarrassing conversation between the grandmothers and grandmothers.
As the night deepened, Lehe's grandparents and grandchildren stopped talking and rested.
Early the next morning, Ah Bao got up with his grandmother, washed and changed clothes, and Chen brought his daughter over to say goodbye.
Because the prince was going to come to the mansion to visit Mrs. Tian today, after the Chen family asked for peace, he quickly went to get busy, and mobilized all the people in the mansion to clean up. Tian Yushi stayed to accompany Mrs. Tian and Ah Bao to have breakfast together, after the meal, Mrs. Tian drove the two little girls to the yard to play, without the adults, Tian Yushi inevitably quarreled with Ah Bao, and the blank feelings after a few years were quickly closer.
The day passed very quickly, and soon it was nearly dusk.
Everyone in the Tian family was ready, and when they heard that the next person had come to report that the master had returned, everyone got up and walked to the door, wanting to greet the prince who had been coming with Tian Wenru.
Ah Bao and Tian Yushi helped Mrs. Tian to the door together, and soon saw Tian Wenru, Tian Yuqiao and others, when they saw the man next to the prince walking into Tian's house together, Ah Bao's expression was blank for a moment, and when the man glanced over, he was clever, and hurriedly lowered his face, feeling as if his waist hurt again.
In fact, when they saw the King of Jin beside the prince, the people of the Tian family were all surprised, and they couldn't figure out what the prince was doing today, so they couldn't help but aim at the eldest patriarch Tian Wenru. Tian Wenru smiled bitterly in his heart, how did he know what the prince of Lu Dao was doing with his terrifying younger brother in the mansion? Facing the awe-inspiring King of Jin, he was also under a lot of pressure!
Although they didn't understand, the Tian family still came over to salute and greet them meticulously.
The prince was wearing a regular dress today, smiling warmly at people, and when he saw that Mrs. Tian was about to kneel down to say goodbye, he hurriedly said that he was going to visit Mrs. Tian in the Taifu Mansion as a student today, so that they didn't have to be too polite.
Soon, everyone went to the main hall and took their seats.
The crown prince sat in the first place, the king of Jin followed, Mrs. Tian sat closer to the two, and the others also sat according to their generation.
The prince seemed to want to show that he really came to visit Mrs. Tian who had returned to Beijing today, not only bringing gifts, but also patiently asking Mrs. Tian about her health and what she had seen on the way back to her hometown, which made Mrs. Tian panic and moved.
After asking Mrs. Tian, the prince chatted with the three fathers and sons of the Tian family, and the others listened quietly.
Ah Bao lowered his eyebrows and sat in the corner with Tian Yushi, Tian Yushi was very nervous, desperately wringing her handkerchief, and maintaining the appearance of a lady. Ah Bao was also very nervous, always felt a stab on his face, as if he had been gouged by a sharp gaze again and again, and when he thought of who the owner of the sight was, he wanted to reach out and rub his waist again - obviously the back injury had already healed, but when he saw that person, the shadow in his heart came again.
When the conversation between the prince and the Tian family's father and son came to an end, and Ah Bao thought that the matter was finally over and it was time for them to retreat, the prince took a sip of tea and suddenly said: "I didn't expect Ming Jin to be here today, you were injured in the palace last time, your sister was very worried, now I see that you are fine, and Ming Zheng can rest assured." ”
Ah Bao soon realized who the "sister" the prince was talking about, and when he heard him call himself "Ming Jin", he felt really weird, and quickly got up and said: "Thank you big sister for your concern, Ming Jin is fine, let the prince and big sister worry, is it Ming Jin." ”
The prince's gaze looked at the girl with low eyebrows without a trace, and still said gently: "Ming Jin's words are serious, it is still your brother-in-law, you don't have to be so restrained." ”
“……”
What kind of fuss is this prince?!
Ah Bao roared in his heart, complaining that he would affectionately call himself "Ming Jin", it turned out that he was a brother-in-law, which was not appropriate, right? The crown princess knows that she can't die of depression? Thinking in his heart, he smiled appropriately shyly on his face.
"Speaking of which, it was Xiao Qi's fault that you were injured in the palace before, my father has already punished Xiao Qi, and those subordinates who are unfavorable to the guardian have also been punished, but I pity you for being in bed to recuperate, and I am alone here to accompany you on behalf of Xiao Qi."
Ah Bao hurriedly said that he didn't dare, and sighed in his heart that the prince's family card was played so well, and this was really artistic, which made people feel that the prince was a good person when he heard it, and he would definitely be a Ming Jun in the future, if anyone wanted to oppose him, it was really unreasonable. The crown prince looks gentle but not cowardly, because there is an emperor above, and he can't be too capable or too strong, this degree has to be delicately handled, so that the emperor's father will not have a sense of crisis that his son is worried about the position under his ass.
This is a very successful prince!
And now, the successful prince is busy for his dear fifth brother and wife, although he is talking to Ah Bao seriously, but the corner of his eye has been looking at the younger brother sitting next to him, seeing that he still has a cold and hard look, sitting straight and straight, his hair has not moved, it looks like a sculpture, but the prince knows him very well, when he began to learn to speak and read at the age of ten and other things he taught him by himself, and he still can see his mood from some very subtle small movements.
For example, when Li Mingjin spoke, his eyes would move slightly, and he listened attentively to the girl's voice, not as careless as when he listened to others before.
After the prince had enough of observing his future siblings and his younger brother, he finally let Po go.
Ah Bao wiped the sweat in his heart, and when he sat back in his place, he had a jealous expression on his cousin, and he was speechless and choked, he always felt that the prince had some conspiracy to bring King Jin to the door today, and the sense of crisis like being targeted by a poisonous snake made her scalp numb - Ah Bao thought, maybe because King Jin was here, she was a little overreacting.
When the time was about to come, when it was time for dinner, the Tian family had already prepared a banquet, Tian Wenru and his two sons accompanied the prince and the king of Jin to the outside for dinner, and the ladies went to the inside for dinner.
Ah Bao and Tian Yushi sat together, looking at her with a relieved look, and couldn't help but ask with concern, "What's wrong with my cousin?" ”
Tian Yushi glanced outside, and whispered to Ah Bao: "Don't you think King Jin's eyes are so scary?" When he walked by just now, he glanced at us, it was so terrible, it was the same as the rumors outside, and I heard that he had killed many people, and the methods were cruel, and the children were scared to cry. ”
The corners of Ah Bao's mouth twitched, he thought for a while, and said, "I heard that he killed all bad people." ”
"Bad guys are people too!" Tian Yu Shiyi was stern, and then looked at Ah Bao's eyes quite accusatory.
The cousin's moral character is too noble, so that Bao, a person with not very noble morality, didn't know what to say for a while so as not to cause her fierce backlash, so he closed his mouth and ate.
Tian Yushi didn't let her go, her spirit was highly tense before, but now there is no pressure, she wants to find someone to talk to, otherwise she will suffocate to death, Ah Bao is naturally a good candidate.
Next, Tian Yushi began to harass Ah Bao, until the meal was presented, Chen interrupted and asked them to eat well, Tian Yushi reluctantly shut up, but Ah Bao thought, after eating, it is estimated that Tian Yushi will pull her to continue, this is some of Tian Yushi's habits. Well, although Tian Yushi often has a temper with Po, in the end, they grew up together, and the cousins once squeezed through a bed to whisper about girls' homes with deep feelings.
After the ladies finished eating, the men outside were still eating, and they also drank wine - naturally they drank a little, and while drinking, they assessed the literature of the Tian brothers, and the hard-pressed brothers had to play on the spot.
The Tian brothers are hard, Ah Bao is also very hard, after the meal, they can leave the girls who have not left the pavilion, Tian Yushi pulled Ah Bao to her yard without saying a word, and continued what she said just now.
The maid made tea, put melons and fruits on the snack, and then retreated.
Ah Bao drank tea, listened to the chatter beside him casually, thinking about the intention of the prince coming to the door today, and was suddenly heard by Tian Yushi in his ear: "His Royal Highness the prince seems to appreciate his cousin very much, what do you say this is for?" ”
"yes, for what?" Po looked at her very innocently.
Tian Yushi sighed, holding her head and thinking hard, Ah Bao was happy to see her entangled, and then said evilly: "My cousin's appearance is too unladylike!" Be careful, my aunt is going to preach again! Frightened, the little girl quickly sat upright, twisted her handkerchief and continued to meditate.
Sure enough, the little girls are all cute!
When Ah Baole teased his cousin, he soon heard someone report that the prince and the king of Jin had left.
Ah Bao and Tian Yushi both secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as if the tight spell hanging over their heads was finally gone. After sending the maid away, Tian Yushi said to Bao: "Okay, it's getting late, cousin should go back too." ”
Ah Bao smiled and asked, "Is my cousin so afraid of King Jin?" Thinking in my heart, it seems that it is indeed quite terrifying, that person always has a fishy aura on his body, without the noble aura of several other princes, as if he was fighting in the dark.
Tian Yushi told her with an affirmative expression that King Jin was indeed terrible, and said in a low voice: "I can't complain that he is so old, and he is not a princess, he feels terrible at a glance, which girl dares to marry him?" ”
Ah Bao's eyes rolled and joked: "He is the prince, if you want the princess and the emperor to marry directly, he doesn't need to worry at all." ”
Tian Yushi pursed her lips, and felt that Ah Bao was quite right, and then said: "Also, I don't know who would be so unlucky to be selected by the emperor for marriage." After speaking, he shook his head again, "Forget it, it has nothing to do with us anyway." ”
Ah Bao felt that this sentence was very pleasant, and agreed to say: "That's true." ”
The cousins spoke very happily at this moment, quite a sense of heroism, and their relationship was a little closer, until three days later, when the Marquis of Weiyuan received the holy decree of marriage, everyone was dumbfounded, and Ah Bao's first reaction was: his back hurt again.
