Extra-four, Qian Yijing (2)
In mid-July, in a boudoir, Qian Yijing was reclining on a beauty couch and worried. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 On the round table in the center of the room, the plate of golden peaches wilted again. Not today, these peaches will go bad again.
The peaches on the peach tree were gone half a month ago, except for the plate in front of her, all the peaches she picked were rotten. My mother and sister still kept some, but she felt that those peaches were too green, and even if they turned golden and ripe in the future, they would not be too delicious. The peaches she left behind were all a little golden and red, but they were all spoiled in less than ten days.
She curled her mouth and kept tearing the handkerchief in her hand. Brother Ji's mouth is very tricky, and if it tastes bad, he won't like it......
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps in the yard, as well as the voice of the little girl Qingxing, "Second girl, second girl......"
Wanhe scolded, "Why don't you have any rules, what are you doing yelling!" ”
Qingxing immediately said, "I heard from the sisters of the Xiyue Pavilion that the prince of Yonghe sent someone to deliver a letter, and the prince of Yonghe will arrive in Beijing in two days." ”
When Qian Yijing heard this, he turned over, put on embroidered shoes, and walked briskly towards Xiyue Pavilion.
Pan Yue was looking at a letter, she had read it several times, but she still couldn't read enough. Seeing his daughter coming, he beckoned and smiled, "Jing'er, come quickly, this is Ji'er's letter, they will be able to arrive in Beijing in two days." ”
Qian Yijing took the letter in the past, and the words on the letter were fresh and elegant, beautiful and long, and it was indeed Zhu Suji's words.
Pan Yue's eyes were red with excitement, and she said, "It's been nearly two and a half years, and Ji'er has finally come back safely." I don't know how many sins he has suffered these days. "I hurriedly asked people to go to Liangfu, Wanfu and Qian Manduo's house to tell the three aunts and grandmothers that Yonghe Wang Ye was coming back.
Qian Manduo's family bought a three-entry courtyard in the capital three years ago and made a home here. Li Acai, as a petty official under the Ministry of Industry, also followed Yonghe to the West.
A few years ago, after the glass square was presented to the imperial court, several employees of the glass factory were assigned to the Ministry of Engineering to help make glass. Because Li Acai has a disciple, he was also introduced as a "central enterprise" by the Ministry of Industry as a talent, became a nine-grade petty official, and two years later was promoted to an eight-grade official. When I come back from this study, I may be promoted again.
Two days later, that is, at noon on July 19, Zhu Suji, the prince of Yonghe, led the people from the West to return to Beijing, although only some officials, merchants, soldiers, and students from Fanguo entered Beijing, there were more than 5,000 people, and the image was magnificent.
Emperor Zhu Sujin of Mingle led his ministers out of the city to greet him, and walked into the city gate hand in hand with Zhu Suji, the prince of Yonghe, to show the great joy of the dragon's heart and his satisfaction with the achievements of the king of Yonghe in the West this time.
This trip to the West was an unprecedented feat, and its far-reaching significance was no less than any major battle of the Great Qian Dynasty to defend the homeland and defend the country, and they were welcomed like heroes in triumph. Although the Fanguo students in the team were not prisoners of war, their golden hair, big noses, white faces like rice paper and long golden hairs still opened the eyes of the common people and pointed their fingers and discussed.
In the evening, the emperor set up a palace banquet for Yonghe and Wang Ye and others to receive the wind and wash the dust, in addition to the ministers of the court, he also invited Mrs. Pan and Pan Yuma, because among the 100 foreign students, 20 people will be sent to Songpan Academy.
After the meal, Prince Yonghe stayed in the palace to make a report, and even the Emperor Taishang, who almost didn't care about state affairs, attended and listened to the report. There were also several important ministers who accompanied the audience, including Qian Manjiang and Liang Jinzhao. These two are military generals and should not participate in this kind of meeting, but because the prince of Yonghe is related to them, he made an exception to leave them.
The emperor and the emperor were very happy, and until the second half of the night, the courtiers stayed in the palace to rest.
Among the merchants who followed the fleet to the West, there were also some stewards of the Qian family, the Liang family, the Wan family, the Fu family, the Changfeng eldest princess's mansion and other big families, and these stewards went directly back to the lord's house to make a report. While they made a lot of money for the lord's family, they also earned thousands of taels of silver for their own family.
This trip to the West not only demonstrated the prestige of the Great Qian, but also established diplomatic relations with several Western countries, filled the treasury a lot, and also allowed many ministers and businessmen to earn a lot of money.
Qian Yixiu and others had the name of foresight to open shops in Quanzhou, Gzhou and other cities that were open to the outside world, so as to facilitate doing business with Fanren.
The next day, the main courtyard of the Qian family was bustling. Qian Yixiu's mother and son and Qian Manxia's family came to Qian's house early, eagerly looking forward to Zhu Suji's coming back soon.
Brother Monkey's family is also here, and Brother Monkey and Sister Monkey also think very much about the original owner. And the later generations of the dog's family are far less familiar with Zhu Suji's relationship with Dashan and Ben Ben Hopping, so they stayed in the palace and didn't come to join in the fun.
Pan Yue and Qian Yixiuniang were even more restless, looking up at the window from time to time, or going to the yard to take a look. Qian Yijing's heart flew out of this courtyard, but she resisted the excitement in her heart and sat there chatting with Fang'er and Sisi.
At about the beginning of noon, I finally heard the noise in the courtyard, except for Qian Sangui and Wu, everyone poured out of the house, and Pan Yuechong was at the front.
I saw Zhu Suji enter the main courtyard accompanied by Qian Manjiang and Liang Jinzhao. He wore an ice-blue brocade robe with a round neck and arrow sleeves, a white jade belt tied around his waist, and his inky hair was tied around the top of his head with a hosta. When he came to Qian's house, he never wore the python robe that the prince should wear.
He was much darker than he had been before, and he looked thinner, but he was stronger, and his shoulders were broader. His eyes were as calm as ever, and the corners of his mouth still had a warm smile on his lips. However, when he saw a group of relatives going out to pick him up, tears of excitement overflowed in his eyes, and he walked a few steps briskly, hugging Pan Yue and crying.
Zhu Suji choked up and said, "Mother, I miss you so much." ”
Pan Yue cried, "Ji'er, you're finally back." The taste of waiting is uncomfortable, my mother is restless, and I look forward to you every day......"
Qian Yixiu and other women also wiped their tears.
When Qian Manjiang heard his wife say that "the taste of waiting is not pleasant", his eyes were also red.
Zhu Suji said goodbye to Pan Yue, and took a deep look at the bright and delicate face in the crowd, and the reddish bright eyes were looking at him admiringly. He thought about her day and night, but he couldn't tell this lovesickness in front of everyone, so he only nodded at her slightly and smiled.
He came to Qian Yixiu again, and said with red eyes, "Sister, do you miss your brother?" ”
Qian Yixiu actually wanted to hug Zhu Suji and cry twice and confide in her, but she, the godsister, really couldn't challenge the rules of this era too much. So he raised his hand and wiped his eyes with a handkerchief, choked up and said, "Yes, my sister thinks about my brother every day." ”
Brother Monkey saw that the two masters had finished speaking, and he rushed up as a matter of course, hugging Zhu Suji and talking about monkeys, and Zhu Suji happily said a few words to it.
After entering the house, Zhu Suji went to see Qian Sangui and his wife again, but the old couple didn't dare to accept it all, so they got up and returned the gift.
The table is mostly vegetarian, with a few meat dishes as well. Zhu Suji doesn't eat meat even if it's still vulgar, but he doesn't mind that there are meat dishes eaten by others on the table.
Zhu Suji looked at his favorite dishes on the table and said with a smile, "Thank you, mother, my son is dreaming about these dishes." ”
Everyone laughed when they said this, but Pan Yue's eyes were red again, and she pulled him and said, "Poor Ji'er, you have suffered for such a long time. I've heard that most of those people eat raw meat, what do you eat when you go there? ”
Zhu Suji shook his head and smiled, "That's not the case, Fanguo not only has a lot of food, vegetables and vegetables, but also food that we don't have. This time we brought back a lot of tomato seeds, and they were very delicious. ”
Aren't tomatoes just tomatoes? She had been thinking about that for a long time. Money is also embroidered with dark music.
Today, Pan Yue also sat at the main table, sitting next to Zhu Suji, and kept sandwiching the dishes he liked to eat.
When a girl put a white jade bowl with emerald green rice porridge in front of Zhu Suji, Pan Yue pointed to the bowl of porridge and said, "This is the golden lotus leaf japonica rice porridge that Jing'er specially boiled for you, and it has been boiling for more than an hour." ”
Zhu Ji glanced at Qian Yijing at the other table and said with a smile, "Thank you, Sister Jing." ”
Qian Yijing blushed and whispered, "I don't know if Brother Ji likes this taste or not." ”
Zhu Suji scooped a bite with a jade spoon and ate it into his mouth, nodded and smiled, "Smooth and soft, full of fragrant, excellent." ”
Qian Yijing couldn't hold back her joy when she heard this, pursed her lips and smiled, "Brother Ji likes it, I'll boil it for you in the future." ”
Zhu Suji nodded with a smile and ate the bowl of porridge in one go.
After the meal, everyone listened to Zhu Suji talk about what they had seen and heard, and they were very interested, and they couldn't wait to go there in person.
Zhu Suji said, "The saint said that he would establish diplomatic relations with them in the future, and he would send merchant ships there every year. ”
Zhu Suji took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, took off the clam shell necklace between the necks and returned it to Qian Yixiu, and said, "Thank you, sister, the pearl baby has helped us a lot." ”
As soon as Qian Yixiu hung the necklace around his neck, he heard the voice of the pearl baby, "Mother, people miss you, people miss you so much, woo woo woo woo ......"
Hearing this voice, Qian Yixiu couldn't sit still anymore, and under the pretext that he didn't sleep well last night, he went back to Xiangxue Courtyard with Brother Monkey's family. Liang Jinzhao also wanted to pearl the baby, so he went with him. But they didn't dare to tell the children about it, so they continued to play in the main courtyard.
As soon as the two of them and Brother Monkey's family entered the bedroom, they plugged in the door, lowered the curtains, and quickly took off the clam shell necklace. The clam shell necklace became a crystal house, and as soon as the door opened, the pearl baby ran out with the squirrel girl in her arms.
Qian Yixiu picked them up, kissed them a few times, and said, "You are finally back, my mother misses you so much." ”
The pearl baby also hugged Qian Yixiu and kissed non-stop, saying, "We also want to be a mother, and we want to play with our mother for a few more days." ”
This is also what Qian Yixiu thought, hearing him say this, he felt sad again.
Liang Jinzhao saw that his wife's eyes were red, and persuaded, "Don't be sad, there is still so much time, cherish the time together." ”
In the evening, seeing off the guests, Pan Yue asked Qian Yijing to send Zhu Suji back to Xiaoyao Courtyard.
Qian Manjiang whispered, "Jing'er is a big girl now, isn't that appropriate?" ”
Pan Yue smiled, "We don't know Ji'er and Jing'er's temperament yet?" There's something wrong with that. Look at the two of them, they seem to have a thousand words, but they can only say two words through a bowl of porridge. ”
Qian Manjiang thought that before he and his wife got married, although they were poor, they could say whatever they wanted, and they didn't need any scruples, so they didn't say anything more.
The night sky at the end of summer is long and deep, full of stars. The clear light is sprinkled on the world, and all things are bright. The evening breeze blows slowly, blowing the leaves and blowing very pleasantly.
Zhu Sujin and Qian Yijing walked in front, and the two girls followed behind with interest.
The two walked speechlessly for a while, and Zhu Suji broke the silence and said with a smile, "When I was on the ship, I liked to sit on the deck and watch the stars. Thinking about the same starry sky, Master, Sister Jing, Mother, Sister, what are you doing. ”
Qian Yijing smiled, "Really? I'm the same as Brother Ji, I also like to look at the stars and the moon at night, imagining that Brother Ji must be blowing the sea breeze at that time, thinking about us in the distance. ”
After speaking, he lowered his head shyly again.
At this time, just passing by a few big trees with dense foliage, Zhu Suji plucked up her courage and held her left hand with her hanging right hand. The little hands are longer and thinner than before, but they are still smooth and soft. When did he stop holding her little hand, and she didn't lean on herself and hold herself like she did when she was a child? It seems that after she was eight years old, Xiao Nizi was shy. Although I still like "Brother Ji, Brother Ji" in front of my eyes, I am embarrassed to be as affectionate as when I was a child.
Qian Yijing let her little hand be pulled by Zhu Suji, without struggling, and her heart was indescribably sweet.
Zhu Suji said again, "I brought a gift for Sister Jing, you must like it." ”
"Didn't you give us all your gifts?" Qian Yijing asked.
Zhu Suji smiled, "I still have one for my sister." ”
A few days later, Emperor Mingle married Zhu Suji, the king of Yonghe, and Qian Yijing, the second girl of the Xiangenhou Mansion. Wang Fu and Qian Fu went through the motions according to the process, and they are scheduled to get married in February next year.
A month later, Master Beikong came to Baoguo Temple, and Zhu Suji happily went to see him.
He waved at Master Grief and said with a smile, "Master, the apprentice has brought you something delicious." Then, bring a pot of tomatoes. When he was on the boat, he planted a few pots of tomatoes and sprinkled some blue springs, and when he reached the dry land, there was only this one pot left. The reason why he planted these pots of tomato seedlings that grabbed fresh water from others was so that he could plant some tomatoes for the master of Sadness, who likes food, to eat for the first time.
Master Sorrow looked red with excitement, and laughed, "Good apprentice, the master didn't hurt you in vain." This tomato, Lao Na hasn't eaten it for years. ”
Zhu Suji said with a smile, "The master is wrong, it's not called tomatoes, we call it tomatoes." ”
The old monk ignored Zhu Suji's chewing words, picked up a tomato and rubbed it on the monk's robe, and ate it anxiously.
After he ate three large tomatoes, Zhu Suji blushed and said about his marriage.
Master Grief said, "Amitabha, you have become a family, and someone will accompany you through your life, so you can rest assured as a teacher." He sighed again, "There is a feast in the world, before the end of July next year, you will take the pearl baby and the little squirrel to Daci Temple and hand them over to the teacher." On the first day of August, it was the day when Lao Na brought them back. ”
