Pei Lin blushed and thanked him, "Grandfather, you are so good." ”

This night, the Pei family reunited and set up two tables of wine in the small flower hall, not only to welcome Pei Lin home, but also to congratulate him on Zhongxiyuan. The Pei brothers raised their glasses and drank freely, and the children laughed and played on the ground.

"Xiaoba, if you marry another daughter-in-law, our family will be perfect." Pei Sanye tasted the mellow wine and sighed.

"Yes." Everyone agreed.

In view of the fact that the Pei family is likely to have three sons per house, no one is worried about the matter of the heirs, as long as the daughter-in-law is married, it will be completed. The child, when it is time to come, it will always come - the child's mother has married home, will the child be far away?

"The child must do his best, do his best." Pei Lin hurriedly expressed her determination.

"There is no hurry to marry a daughter-in-law." Pei Ge opened his mouth slowly, "Lin'er, you first go to Mingshui County to be a staff member for Lord Tao, this is the important thing." ”

"Dad, you're so right. Men, it is the right thing to increase knowledge, hone body and mind, make meritorious contributions, and become famous. "Pei Sanye is a serious attachment.

Pei Lin probably drank too much, obviously drunk, and her face was flushed, like a big red cloth.

After this night, all the people in the Pei family knew that there was a small county called Mingshui, and the county order of Mingshui was Tao Ming, Master Tao. Master Tao is a good official who is honest and loves the people, and his political achievements are outstanding, and Xiaoba admires him so much that he wants to join him as a staff member in the county government, so that he can learn a thing or two......

The county order, Pei Sanye has not done it. On Jiuning Street, there is Pei Ge Lao, who is a scholar of the household department and a scholar of Dongge University, a senior attendant of the Hanlin Academy, Pei Erye, who has served as the Taishou of Gusu and is deeply loved by the people like his father, and Pei Sanye, who has been a magistrate for many years, but Pei Lin has to learn from the county commander of a remote county, the reason for this is really thought-provoking.

"This Master Tao must be too good." Pei Lin's brothers all thought so.

"Otherwise, this Lord Tao has a baby daughter, and the daughter is really outstanding." They silently added in their hearts.

The brothers were very curious about what Xiaoba had encountered in Mingshui, but whether they asked openly or knocked on the side, Pei Lin just laughed and refused to tell the truth. Not to mention the brothers, even Pei Sanye and Xu wanted to ask for the details of Mingshui, but Pei Lin gritted her teeth and resolutely did not say it.

"Hachi is probably embarrassed in Mingshui." Xu made a decision.

"Shame on people, I don't know what to do. Anyway, I lost my soul. Pei Sanye expressed disdain for his youngest son.

Mr. Concierge traveled with Pei Lin all the way, and Pei Lin also brought two servants who served personally. Pei Sanye wanted to ask them what happened in Mingshui, but Xu scoffed, "Our son's business, I can't ask my son about it, I lose face if I ask others." Pei Sanye stretched out a thumbs up to his wife, "What the lady said is very right, we can't be so embarrassed!" ”

Zhilu Dao starling went home and ordered Xiao Nei to send fresh fruits, fish and shrimp, aged wine, delicious snacks and other Jiuning Street, "Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess said that these are all the eight masters' favorite foods, and it is her heart." If the eighth master is empty, please go to the East Palace to sit and see the little nephew. The little waiter said with a smile on his face.

Sending off the little waiter, Xu smiled and said, "Mother is just going to talk to your sister, so I'll take you with me." Pei Lin weakly protested, "How old am I, do I want you to take it?" Mother, rest at home, I'll go see my sister alone. Xu Shi was happy, "Cheng, you have grown up, you don't need to be taken by your mother, go by yourself." Generously agreed.

"We're going to know the truth." Xu Shi winked at Pei Sanye.

Pei Sanye smiled knowingly, "That's nature." ”

Is there something that the Pei family can't ask? Of course not. Xiaoba has a hard mouth in front of his parents and brothers, and when his sister asks, he will definitely not be able to resist it, and he will explain it 1510.

“…… Starling, is she pretty? What type of pretty? In the side hall of the East Palace, sitting on the big kang near the window, he asked Pei Lin curiously while eating small walnuts sweetly.

Pei Lin took a small tongs to open the walnut, peeled it carefully, and put it on a small plate in front of her, "She doesn't apply fat powder, her face is smooth and smooth, she is the kind of natural beauty who doesn't need to be carved." The day the starling saw her, the autumn light was shining, the scenery was pleasant, she was wearing a light yellow shirt and standing in front of the flower garden, she was really as light as a chrysanthemum......"

Mingshui County is like a paradise, where not only ordinary people live and work in peace and contentment, but also have a solum and a Salesian bureau to house the elderly and orphans. When Pei Lin first arrived in Mingshui, she was surprised by the simplicity and simplicity of the local folk customs, and visited the nursing home and the Salesian Bureau, and donated money and property - there are a large number of elderly people and children in the nursing home and the Salesian Bureau, and it is very difficult to raise them with the financial resources of Mingshui County, and accept donations from the outside world.

Pei Lin saw dozens of elderly people basking in the sun in the nursing home, some of them were still conscious, and some of them were confused. They were taken care of by a few sturdy peasant women, who had to cook and wash for them every day, which was very dedicated and very hard. "Who doesn't have an old age? Besides, the county ordered the lord to pay the salary. The peasant woman's black and red face was full of honest smiles.

"Xanadu, Xanadu." Pei Lin was greatly moved.

At that time, Pei Lin heard a pleasant sound in her ears, as sweet and clear as the spring water flowing happily in the mountains. The voice was heard in his ears, and Pei Lin was drunk.

He involuntarily followed the voice. Passing through a moon gate, I walked to the Salesian Bureau next to the almshouse, where orphans were adopted. A fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl is holding a little girl in one hand to look at the flowers, the little girl is only two or three years old, obviously an orphan girl adopted in the Salesian Bureau, the girl Jing Hai cloth skirt, her face is picturesque, so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off it.

Pei Lin stood there in a daze, not realizing that she had seen a strange girl, and she should avoid suspicion. It took a while for the girl to realize that something was wrong, and turned her head to look at Pei Lin. Her eyes were as bright as cold stars, as bright as jewels, and Pei Lin was stupid when she saw those beautiful eyes, and she wouldn't move......

"And then?" asked with relish.

Then, the starling stayed in Mingshui and refused to leave. Because the starling donated all his belongings and had no money to stay in the inn, he asked Tao for help, and Tao left me to live in the county government for a while. Pei Lin blushed when she mentioned her rogue behavior.

"Grandpa the porter didn't bring any money?" Very ignorant.

"Yes, I won't let him show it." Pei Lin whispered to her sister.

looked at Pei Lin with adoring and enthusiastic eyes, "Starling, you are so smart and cunning!" ”

If you have determination and action, you will definitely be able to hold the beauty. Starling, I have faith in you!

"And then?" Then he asked.

"Then, I looked at the days, and I didn't dare not return to Beijing for the New Year, so I reluctantly said goodbye to Master Tao and went on the road." Pei Lin said in frustration.

Laughing merrily. Starling, if you dare not return to Beijing for the New Year, your grandfather will not smoke you? You're smart!

"Brother Starling, are you really going to be a staff member for Master Tao?" asked about Pei Lin's future plans.

Pei Lin was quite hesitant, "Master Tao only has a son and a daughter, and they are all very precious." Our family has never had anything to do with him, and the starling brother is afraid of being reckless and losing his marriage, and Master Tao will not agree. You said, the starling has been a staff member for Lord Tao, and after a long time, Lord Tao knows the character of the starling brother, and then we will propose marriage, is it more graspable? ”

Nodding seriously, "Starling is very thoughtful!" ”

Pei Lin was very pleased, "When my sister says this, the starling brother has more confidence in his heart." I will go to Mingshui next year, and after a good performance for a year and a half, I will ask my father and mother to propose. ”

Pei Lin walked away with a radiant face.

Leaning on the kang, smiling like a flower. Starling, the first seven brothers combined, it is not as bothersome for you to marry a daughter-in-law, you have to rush to Mingshui to be a staff member for Master Tao!

Fu Mu reminded softly, "Your Highness, you don't want to laugh loudly, you are pregnant with the little emperor's grandson." Xiao Mimi nodded, "Zhi Lu said, if it weren't for being pregnant with him, my stomach would hurt from my early smile. ”

Starling, you're such a coke.

"What are you so happy about?" The crown prince came back with Xiao Zhengzheng in his arms and asked her with a smile.

The father and son wore the same color and style of cyan embroidered nine flying dragon robes, one large and one small, contrasting with each other.

Xiao Zhengzheng looked at it aggrievedly, looking like he was going to sue. Hurriedly patted his side, "Son, sit next to my mother." The crown prince put Xiao Zhengzheng down as he said, and smiled proudly, "Didn't he say that he was tired of walking?" Ten brothers went to pick him up, and they came back with him. "Xiao Zhengzheng, you didn't complain now, did you?

Xiao Zheng was sitting next to him, pointing at his father accusingly, "You have to walk, you are not allowed to walk." He asked him gently, "Is it because you want to walk, and Daddy won't let you walk?" Son, Daddy is afraid that you will be tired. Xiao Zhengzheng was even more aggrieved, "No, you have to walk." ”

The crown prince sat down beside him, smiled and coaxed him, "Good, let you go by yourself tomorrow, Dad said that he wouldn't hug you anymore." While coaxing his son, he stretched out his palm, bypassed his son, and shook his wife's small hand.

Holding hands with him, looking at each other, full of tenderness.

Xiao Zhengzheng was even more unhappy, and insisted more, "You have to walk." The crown prince was helpless, "Son, dad will take you down, and you will walk around the ground twice, okay?" Xiao Zhengzheng shook his head resolutely.

Still knows Xiao Zhengzheng better, she asked softly, "Son, let your father carry you out, get in the car again, get off the car again, and walk back by yourself, okay?" Xiao Zhengzheng nodded reluctantly, "Hmm." ”

"This stinky boy." The crown prince fainted.

In the end, the crown prince carried him out of the car again, got into the car, and then picked him up from the car, and let him walk all the way back, so that he was satisfied.

When he returned to his side again, his little face was much softer, and he smiled happily from time to time. However, if his father sits too close, he will not follow, and will definitely use all his strength to push his father away and sit down by himself.

The crown prince snorted, "Xiao Zhengzheng, when you reach the age of six, your father will separate you, and you go to live in your own East Palace, don't bother your father and mother." ”

The palace where the emperor's grandson lives is also called the East Palace, and Xiao Zheng has been canonized, and he can live alone in the East Palace at any time, and he can have his own subordinates.

"No, no." Xiao Zheng was sitting beside him and told his father calmly.

"When you reach the age of six, you have to go, and you can't go if you don't." The crown prince laughed and fooled him.

Xiao Zhengzheng lowered his eyes and thought about something seriously. His eyelashes are very long, black and curved, slightly upturned, very **, looking at the thoughtful Xiao Zhengzheng, I think it's really cute. Son, what are you thinking, are you trying to refute your father?

"Don't grow up!" Xiao Zhengzheng thought about it and said simply.

When you get old, you have to move out, right? Then I'm not going to grow up—

Son, you're so cute! and the crown prince's heart was crisp, looking at Xiao Zhengzheng gently, tears flashing in his eyes-

Asked the crown prince to inquire about Tao Ming, the commander of Mingshui County, family, fame, career, children, wife, no matter how big or small, you must know the way. The crown prince readily agreed, "The matter of the little junior sister is the matter of the tenth brother, and the tenth brother will inquire clearly for you." ”

Tao Ming doesn't seem to have much to inquire about. His own parents died early, and he was sponsored by his father's friend to complete his studies, and at the age of twenty, he was admitted to the Jinshi, and then went to the small Mingshui County to become a county magistrate, until now. At that time, Mingshui belonged to a small county because of the lack of taxes, and he was from the seventh grade, and now Mingshui is rich in taxes and belongs to a large county, and he is the seventh grade.

His wife, Chu, was a member of the Jingshi family, and he had promised to marry since he got the Zhongjin Shi, and then followed him to this remote place, and had not returned to the capital for more than 20 years. I usually have no contact with the capital, and my mother's family should have no relatives.

Son Tao Song, eighteen years old, has a gentle temperament, loves to read, and has no habit of being a gentleman. Daughter Tao Ke, fifteen years old, lively and cheerful, is the pearl of her parents' palm.

Tao Ming's appearance is only delicate, but his wife Chu is extremely beautiful. The Tao family's sons and daughters are all like mothers, the sons are handsome, and the daughters are beautiful.

"Fabulous." After listening to this, I was very satisfied.

Starling is the youngest son, and his wife is enough as long as she is innocent and compatible with him, and she does not need a prominent family background.

In March of the following year, Tongzhou Wharf. An inconspicuous official ship docked at the dock, and from the boat stepped down a middle-aged couple, a handsome young man, a slender girl, and a servant, a mother-in-law, and two maidservants. This group of people is plainly dressed and walks on the Tongzhou wharf where people come and go, and they are not noticeable at all. However, the lady and the girl are both beautiful and flawless.

A young man with a tall figure and a gentle face greeted him and spoke politely for a long time. After that, the group of young people got into the car together, and when they arrived at a quiet and elegant courtyard, the car stopped, and the people in the car got out of the car one by one.

A middle-aged man with a smile stood in front of the courtyard and greeted him, "Is it Lord Tao?" When the dog is in the bright water, I am grateful to you for taking care of it. This is a coincidence, two people went to Beijing in the same year to report on their work, and they specially came to greet them, so they chartered this courtyard. They didn't bring their families, and they couldn't live in this courtyard, if Lord Tao didn't dislike it, please deign for one night, everyone was lively. ”

The author has something to say: continue in the evening.
