Taihu Lake stone, chicken broken shell, eagle, watermelon, all kinds of novel fruits, food ...... Counting the gifts he gave him, his heart became even more empty. This, the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation, is to be courteous, the little brother celebrates his birthday, what should he give?

"Brother Ten, you're going to have a birthday? Congratulations. He smiled flatteringly, revealing a mouthful of small white teeth like braided shells.

Seeing her smile sweetly, the corners of the Ten Prince's lips hooked, "Strange, it's obviously in the courtyard, how can it be so warm?" "Little junior sister, your cold color like a cold wind has finally disappeared.

"How can it be warm in the yard? Brother Ten, let's go to the house and make a fire. Stretching out his white fat little hand, he greeted the Ten Princes warmly.

She wanted to make a "please" posture, but the tenth prince smiled lightly, and grabbed her little fat hand, "Okay, little junior sister, let's go to the house to bake the fire." He took her by the hand and walked slowly into the house.

Thinking about that big problem, with a well-behaved smile, he followed him into the house. In the middle of the room, there is a royal blue background decorated with flowers and rich patterns three-legged cloisonné enamel brazier, the fire is burning, and the room is very warm.

The big kang near the window was covered with a black fox skin mattress, with a big red brocade backrest pillow, and instructed the maid to remove the cloak for the ten princes and pat the black fox skin mattress, "Ten brothers, please sit." He also took off the crane and sat down on the kang.

There is a small kang table between the two, on which are placed peanuts, melon seeds, chestnuts, walnuts and other dried fruits, freshly washed winter dates, pinpo fruits, grapes and other new fruits, a few favorite snacks, small teapots, fine porcelain teacups.

Earnestly reached out to lift the small teapot, and wanted to pour tea for the little junior brother in person, "Yunnan black tea, it tastes very good." The soup is bright red in color, has a high and long-lasting aroma, and is most suitable for winter. "This small teapot was specially placed for her by Pei Erye, the pot is not big, the handle is small, she can grasp it.

The Ten Princes hurriedly stopped her, "Little junior sister, you put it down." The little waiter who followed him had a look at him, and was busy holding the pot and pouring tea. The sweet and mellow aroma of black tea ripples, fresh and long, and lasts for a long time.

"Good tea!" The Ten Princes took a sip and praised with a smile.

was very proud, and let him eat fruits and snacks, "Brother Ten, I'm very hospitable." Seeing that she was now learning and selling, the tenth prince was happy, and sure enough, he picked up a piece of water chestnut cake and ate it, "Little junior sister, your dim sum tastes very good." ”

"Of course, I'll tell the cook to do it." Boast.

Eating snacks and drinking tea, he asked diligently, "Brother Shi, what kind of birthday gift do you like?" The Tenth Prince smiled, "Little junior sister, you can just enter the palace to have fun, you don't have to give me a gift." Or if you really want to send it, give me a picture, feel free to paint, I like anything. ”

"That's not going to happen." Shaking his head seriously, "It's too simple." ”

If I draw well, I can do it, but the problem is that I draw chickens like ducks, wolves like dogs, and peonies like wild flowers.

The tenth prince played with the fine porcelain teacup in his hand, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "During my mother's Qianqiu Festival, the painting drawn by the little junior sister was very good, so it is better to draw one for the tenth brother." ”

"No." The little face was full of distress, "I have no contact with Ling Tang, I don't care about anything, just get my mind there." However, my friendship with you is extraordinary. ”

When the tenth prince heard that he said, "I have nothing to do with Ling Tang", his brows furrowed, and he wanted to reason with him. However, when he heard "My friendship with you is extraordinary", he was radiant, and he forgot what he had just thought about, and said softly: "Of course our friendship is not ordinary, little junior sister, we are from the same door." ”

The teacher only accepted two of us, just you and me.

The two of them laughed twice with each other, as if they were both happy.

Smiled sweetly and asked hopefully, "Brother Ten, do you like pearls?" If you like pearls, great. Although the Ten Princes were a little confused, seeing her longing look, they couldn't help but nod, "I like it, little junior sister, I like pearls very much." ”

Happily, his eyebrows fluttered, "Brother Ten, you like pearls, that's great!" When I make a pearl belt, I will make one for you, keep the pearl shining, and look forward to the brilliance! ”

Little brother, I'm not stingy, make a pearl belt and give it to you, it's very beautiful!

The tenth prince said, "Okay, I and my little sister have one each." ”

happily set a birthday gift, the two of them peeled peanuts, knocked melon seeds, and chatted about the whole world, very happy. After chatting, the Ten Princes went to see Lin Youhui and sent an invitation in person. Lin Youhui smiled, "I must celebrate the birthday of His Royal Highness the Ten." The Ten Princes politely thanked him, "There is Master Lao's wife." "After inviting the guests, I got up and said goodbye. Lin Youhui sent him to the courtyard, and the brocade guards and the chamberlain hugged him and left.

Su Su said about Fang Cai, showing off his cleverness, "Mother, what a good birthday gift." Lin Youhui patted her little face and smiled at Mimi, "Extremely, this birthday gift is beautiful and practical, and it doesn't cost anything, it's the best of all three." ”

In fact, pearls are also very expensive, but there are pearls in the West Garden at this time.

After Pei Erye went home, he heard that his students came to send the invitation sticker, and said in a deep voice: "The tenth prince is celebrating his eighth birthday, he has not yet been crowned king, it will not be too grand, except for the emperor, the queen, the prince's family, and the prince and county king in Beijing, that is, the eldest princess, the princess and the Jinxiang Marquis Mansion will enter the palace to congratulate, and the rest of the people are very few." ”

To put it bluntly, I am still a child, and my birthday can't be too shocking, and my relatives are just lively for a day. On this occasion, Pei Erye felt that it was very unnecessary. However, it is also said that in the past, "Heaven and Earth Jun is a teacher", and Pei Erye is a "teacher".

This is a great thing for those who are enthusiastic about their careers. As the prince's teacher, he is valued by the royal family, and the prince's birthday banquet is fortunate to receive an invitation sticker, and he can toast with the most noble family in the world. However, Pei Erye and Lin Youhui looked at the flowers and bones, and they couldn't wait to turn down the invitation.

It's their heart and liver baby, and it's the heart and liver baby of the entire Pei family, so she doesn't want to go to the palace that is extremely noble, she wants to be free and carefree.

In the Pei family, from the grandfather, no one does not love and does not let it. But when she arrived at the palace, she was just the daughter of a Hanlin Academy editor, which was too inconspicuous.

Lin Youhui told him how to entertain the Ten Princes again, and Second Master Pei smiled, "This naughty child." "Zhilu said that our family has pearls, so he tempted the ten princes to say that he likes pearls, little naughty.

"Kim is here, I didn't see her." Lin Youhui told Pei Er Ye about the day. Second Master Pei nodded, "This kind of person, it's okay if you don't see it." "In a good girl's family, how many young men who are not married can't get married, and they have to rob their father with three children? Back then, he almost didn't force the Wu family to death, he was too bullying, and the Jin family's actions were despicable.

The next day, Pei Erye went to work as usual and got off work as usual. He just got out of the Hanlin Courtyard, and a person got out of a long-waiting carriage at the entrance of the alley, greeting him with a smile, "Pei Xiu, I haven't seen you for a long time." Pei Erye is used to following Mrs. Pei to keep office work, and he has an excellent memory, and people who have seen it will hardly forget it, he looked at the person twice, and politely arched his hand, "Master Lin is good." ”

This person is the husband snatched by the Kim family, and Lin is in charge.

Director Lin greeted him a few words, and warmly invited Pei Erye to sit in the teahouse, Pei Erye smiled and shook his head, "I'm sorry, I have to go home immediately." The little girl has fallen in love with the sugar-fried chestnuts on the street for the past two days, and looks forward to my early return. "I'm waiting for me, how can I have time to drink tea with you.

Second Master Pei politely declined, but Director Lin refused to retreat in spite of the difficulty, and begged softly, "Just sit down for a while, just sit for a while." "Again and again.

Didn't the Jin family go to the Silver Ingot Bridge yesterday, not only did they run in vain, but they also lost people in the Jin family and made a fool of themselves. After she left the Silver Ingot Bridge, she went to a few shops on the street, and then went to Jin's house to wait for Jin Yuan's foreign man to go home. Jin Yuanwailang's wife, Lu Shi, has never been waiting to see her, and when she comes back, she naturally doesn't have a good face.

It's no wonder that Lu's. The Jin family is a foreign daughter, and she was raised until she was fourteen or fifteen years old before she was taken back to the Jin family, and she came out with such a "daughter", and she had to bother to choose someone else, and she had to give up her old money to do a dowry for her, who would be happy. What's more, the Jin family was picky, and after the end, he married a married man, which made the Lu family faceless.

The Jin family was not raised by the Lu family, and they were not close to her. Besides, whether it was her dowry or her marriage, the Lu family didn't help at all, and it all depended on her father. In this way, the Jin family does not take the Lu family seriously. Seeing that the Lu family was cold, the Jin family was also angry.

"This person, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, I don't know what will happen to the road in the future." Jin said in a strange tone: "I went to the West Garden of Silver Ingot Bridge on my father's orders today to visit Grandma Pei. When I went, she was still a six-rank Anren, and when I came out, she was no longer in the know. ”

are all surrounded by brocade guards, what good do you say can be? It's not a raid, it's also a prison arrest, and it's hard to see the light of day.

Lu Shi was also surprised when he heard this, "Second Master Pei is a noble Hanlin, what can he do?" "Although the Lu family has no relationship with the Pei family, Pei Er Ye is a role model and a person who has been in the limelight. He has just entered the Hanlin Academy to edit and repair, and he is also the teacher of the Ten Princes, how can the Lu family not know the way.

The Jin family triumphantly told the West Garden about the siege of Jinyi Guard, "...... It's all here, what else can I do? Lu Shi listened and nodded. That's right, surrounded by the Jinyi Guards, the family is miserable.

When Jin Yuan Wailang came home, Jin Xing rushed forward and said, Jin Yuan Wailang's face turned white and he smacked her hard, "I don't know anything!" If the emperor and the prince travel, they will also be surrounded by the Jinyi Guard, do you understand? ”

You went there in the morning, if something happened to the Pei family, could I not know what happened?

Pei Xiu was the teacher of the Ten Princes. The ten princes respect the teacher, and only as soon as they apprentice to the West Garden, they will send Taihu Lake Stone, who in the capital does not know, who does not know? Only you, an ignorant woman, will see Jinyiwei and conclude that the Pei family is not good.

Seeing that her father was really angry, Jin didn't dare to be wronged, so she knelt down and kowtowed to admit her mistake, "Dad, my daughter is useless." Jin Yuan Wailang saw that this useless daughter was so annoyed that he kicked her, "Get out!" ”

In fact, Jin Yuanwailang usually dotes on this daughter very much, but when she visited Pei's second grandmother, she didn't even see anyone and didn't say anything, and she said these things out of tune. Jin Yuan Wailang was in a hurry, so he moved with her—no, no, he moved his feet.

Jin Yuanwailang drank and ordered Jin to go back and let Director Lin come to see him.

No, Director Lin was ordered by his father-in-law to block Second Master Pei. Director Lin himself is a weak person and has no ideas, so as soon as the Jin family's father and daughter are forced to marry, he will be confused. If he is a successful person, he will not be able to turn his back on the Wu family and marry the Jin family.

According to Lin Chief's temperament, Pei Erye refused to go to the appointment, so it was inconvenient to force it. But he obeyed his father-in-law's strict orders, but he couldn't care about anything else, no matter how clear Pei Erye's refusal was, he just blindly pestered.

Pei Erye smiled, "If Director Lin has anything to say, just ask clearly, Pei knows everything, and he has nothing to say." "Your appearance is obviously something, just say it, don't hide it.

Director Lin was really not tactful, seeing that he couldn't invite Pei Erye, he was afraid that he would not be able to deal with his father-in-law, so he panicked and revealed his bottom, "The day before yesterday, you were rewarded by the emperor, did you deal with the order?" This is the envy of the dead. ”

Saying this, Director Lin himself felt rude, and his face turned red. If someone has a friendship with him, it is just ordinary; But if you don't have a relationship, and you don't have so many people, you ask people why they will be rewarded by His Majesty the Emperor, it's very taboo. His Majesty's preferences and tastes, can you inquire about them like this?

Pei Erye smiled slightly, "Pei doesn't like to be public, big things are small, and small things are turned into small things." In case of housework disputes, education comes first, and punishment is supplemented. "A few words without a head and no brains, it seems that they have nothing to do with what Director Lin asked.

In the middle of winter, Lin was sweating on his forehead, said a few kind words vaguely, and left in a panic.

Pei Erye looked at his panicked back and shook his head.

brought fragrant and glutinous sugar fried chestnuts home, and the family sat around peeling food, warm and sweet. The idea was to bury a few small sweet potatoes in a charcoal brazier that was about to be extinguished, and after half an hour, the small sweet potatoes were pulled out of the ashes.

"It's not a bad idea." The brothers were very happy, and while eating sweet potatoes, they praised their sisters.

"That's a lot of great ideas." Lin Youhui smiled, "She also came up with ideas for the birthday gift of the Ten Princes, which is not bad." I estimate that our family's birthday gift should be ingenious. ”

Smelling the aroma of small sweet potatoes, he smiled proudly.

When Lin Youhui made a pearl belt, he also made one for the Ten Princes. The two belts are made of Suzhou Song brocade, the ten princes are the light bean paste group dragon unicorn Tianhua brocade, and the pink ground double lion ball road pattern brocade. The soft texture of Song brocade is inlaid with four rows of round pearls, which are shining, gorgeous but elegant.

This birthday gift is a good shot! After reading it, he clapped his small palms and smiled all over his face.

Before he could enter the palace, another annoying guest came to the West Garden. Mrs. Jinghaihou ordered someone to hand over a post to the West Garden, and on a snowy winter day, she took her only daughter Cao Ying to visit.

The Marquis of Jinghai Mansion was the lord of the founding of the country, and it has been standing tall, and it can be regarded as a tree with deep roots in the capital. Jinghai Hou Cao Wuxian is a powerful figure, since the age of ten to fight to kill the enemy, made countless military achievements, and is now the governor of the Chinese army, and the designated envoy of Jin Wuwei.

The Marquis of Jinghai Mansion is a minister, and the Pei family is a civil official, and the two families have never had any contact. Lin Youhui felt very strange when he received the post, but it is not easy to offend such a noble, of course, he must be polite and thoughtful.

Mrs. Jinghaihou is not young, she is in her early forties, white and beautiful, and she is gentle when she speaks. Cao Ying's little girl is about the same age, with white skin and thin eyebrows, but there is an indescribable arrogance on her face.

It's no wonder that she has such a family background, and she is arrogant, which is understandable.

She is not the only girl in the Cao family, but the rest of the girls belong to her uncle's family. Jinghai Hou Cao is unharmed, only she has a biological daughter, and she loves her like a palm bead.

Lin Youhui smiled and opened the refreshments and accompanied the guests to greet them, but he couldn't guess the intention of the mother and daughter.

It's too general to guess.

A well-behaved appearance, she sat with Cao Ying's little girl, invited Cao Ying's little girl to drink tea and eat snacks, and accompanied Cao Ying's little girl to talk and chat, like the most obedient little girl.

The tea was changed three times, and the two sides politely talked about the weather and clothing and fat powder, and Mrs. Jinghai Hou seemed to mention it casually, "On the birthday of the tenth prince, I will also take the little girl there." I don't know what your daughter will dress up when she arrives? I won't tell you the truth, the little girl is very popular, and on that day, she will wear a red shirt and dress, but don't be heavy with your daughter. ”

Mrs. Jinghaihou's tone was very gentle and polite, but Lin Youhui felt angry when he heard it. Your daughter is delicate, if you want to wear red, my daughter will have to change the color.

Lin Youhui steadied his mind, and said gently: "The little girl is usually willing to wear any color, but when she goes out, she must be red." She said that the big red was the most impressive, and I would not force her to replace it. Don't hide from Mrs. said, in winter, whether you don't enjoy plums or go to banquets, you can see a big red feather gauze cloak of one color, and many of the big clothes are big red, red, and really red jackets, what is this. ”

Isn't it the most common thing to wear red when you go out in winter?

Mrs. Jinghaihou was a little displeased, and said with a smile: "On that day, the little girls of the same age are only the daughter of your mansion and the little girl. ”

Lin Youhui also smiled faintly, polite and distant, "The little girl is the daughter of the civil official family, but Ling Ai is the daughter of the Xungui family, the two of them will not sit at the same table, and there will never be a need to compare." Madam, in the minds of my grandson and me, the little girl is unique and precious. ”

Mrs. Jinghaihou looked up at Lin Youhui, and a hint of fierceness flashed in her slender eyes. She has always been polite, and at this time, it was revealed that she was the wife of a military general, and she was not only gentle and docile.

Lin Youhui calmly met her gaze, "Madam, Ling Ai and the little girl just met occasionally when they went out as guests." ”

Mrs. Jinghaihou and Lin Youhui looked at each other for a long time, stood up, and said lightly: "Farewell." ”

Lin Youhui bowed, "Go slowly." ”

Little girl Cao Ying stood up with a disgusted face and smiled, "Miss Cao, go slowly." ”

After the mother and daughter of Xihan said goodbye, Lin Youhui was a little angry. Running around and playing in the house, "just boring passers-by, don't think about her, don't be in a bad mood for her." ”

The corners of Lin Youhui's mouth curled.

On the birthday of the tenth prince, he put on a big red silk jacket and a white fox cloak with a big red feather veil, and happily entered the palace. "Brother Ten, I gave you a birthday gift, do you like it?" I met the Ten Princes and asked busily.

The eyes of the Ten Princes were full of smiles, "Brother Ten likes it so much!" "Little junior sister, do you have exactly the same, it's good.

On this day, I ate longevity noodles in the palace, played for a while, and went home early. The tenth prince was not very happy, "When these people are gone, the tenth brother will take you to have a good time." "Although it is not too grand, but the emperor, queen, prince, princess, prince of the royal family, county king, plus several eldest princesses, princesses, Jinxiang Marquis Mansion, there are many guests, and he can't help but accompany him.

"No, Brother Ten." Giggled, "You're busy today, I'd better go home early." I made an appointment with my cousins to roast chicken and charcoal-grilled pork together. ”

The tenth prince drooled when he heard it, but seeing that he was very persistent, he still sent her away early, "Little junior sister, the tenth brother really can't help you." The Ten Princes said helplessly.

The author has something to say: put it on first, and there is another paragraph, and I will finish writing about the day.

It's time for school tomorrow.
