Chapter 271: Gifts
Shen Jiahe was a little reluctant to leave when she came back from the hot spring pool, she lay on the bed and discussed with Pei Yuan: "Let's stay here for two more days, there are many things I am curious about this Yiluo Pavilion." ”
Pei Yuan nodded: "If I go to the hot spring once or twice every day, I think it doesn't matter how long I stay." ”
Shen Jiahe's face turned red, and as soon as Shangguan Yue left, Pei Yuan dragged her directly into the hot spring and took a good "mandarin duck bath". Rao is a soul from the twenty-first century who thinks it is too bold, and this pervert actually wants to come a few more times.
Shen Jiahe angrily threw a pillow over: "Ignore you, I'll go talk to Yue'er." ”
Liuyu looked at Shen Jiahe who walked out strangely, scratched her head and asked, "When did Madam have such a good relationship with Miss Shangguan?" ”
Pei Yuan threw the pillow in his arms back on the bed, and said with a smile: "Your lady is so good and beautiful, naturally everyone loves her, how can there be a bad relationship with her." ”
Liuyu felt that he really shouldn't ask this, he lifted his eyelids, he really didn't want to see the smug smile on his master's face, he still went to help Bai Ying do something.
Shen Jiahe went to Shangguan Yue's room, and when he saw that Shangguan Ning was also there, he hurriedly asked, "Is Yue'er's body better today?" ”
"It's all right." Shangguan Ning patted her daughter's hand and thanked Shen Jiahe again, "Thank you, thanks to you." ”
"Madam Shangguan, you have thanked you many times, if you continue to thank you like this, I will be embarrassed to stay here." Shen Jiahe said with a smile, and then chatted with Shangguan Ning, "Seriously, I'm actually very curious about your Gu poison, and I really want to know what the mystery is here, but if there is any secret that you can't tell, then Mrs. Shangguan has never asked." ”
Madam Shangguan shook her head: "Actually, there is nothing that can't be said, there is no difference between Gu and poison, we also need to have direct contact with people, use some water, food and other media, in short, there is no way to make people fall into Gu out of thin air." ”
It didn't sound as exaggerated as the description once seemed to be, Shen Jiahe poked his chin and asked, "Is that kind of putting all kinds of poisonous insects together, letting them fight each other, and finally getting the Gu King, is it apocryphal?" ”
"It's not a fabrication, the toxins extracted by this method are toxins that collect all the poisons you have collected, and they are naturally the most powerful, just like if you feed a scorpion and give it poisonous food all the time, the toxins in its body will always change, and finally become new toxins, and then refine them." Shangguan Ning explained.
In this way, Shen Jiahe felt that he could also practice Gu, but in order to take care of their belief in Gu poison in Southern Xinjiang, it was better not to say these words.
Shangguan Yue pulled Shen Jiahe and said to her: "I raised a silkworm when I was very young, that is, I fed poisonous mulberry leaves from a very young age, and finally refined it into a golden silkworm, killing one of our elder-like poisonous scorpions. ”
Shangguan Ning looked at her daughter fondly, and said with Shen Jiahe and said: "My daughter is also very talented in this, because of this, those people don't have too much objection to her inheriting Yiluo Pavilion in the future, she has been reading the information of this year since she was very young, and she can tell you everything you want to know." ”
With her mother's affirmation, the more Shangguan Yue spoke, the more excited she became, she told Shen Jiahe all the Gu poisons she had refined in the past few years, and later wanted to show it to Shen Jiahe, but Shen Jiahe was worried about her body, so she refused with a smile.
Shangguan Yue blinked his eyes and asked Shen Jiahe, "How did you and the Pavilion Master meet?" ”
"Our two families live very closely, so we have known each other for a long time, and later it was also the words of the matchmaker, and we were together at the behest of our parents." Shen Jiahe said simply, as for the complexities of the past, she was not ready to explain it to this little ancestor.
Shangguan Yue pouted: "It's not thrilling at all." ”
Shen Jiahe smiled: "Well, it's quite bland, the most thrilling thing is almost that we climbed over each other's walls in the middle of the night, so that we could talk at night, or he watched me sleep." ”
"It turns out that the pavilion master is such a boring person, but he doesn't look like you say he is at all." Shangguan Yue felt that what Shen Jiahe said and what he saw were completely two people.
Shen Jiahe also smiled: "Then what do you think he should look like?" ”
Shangguan Yue thought about the scene when he saw Pei Yuan for the first time, he led his subordinates through the miasma forest and walked to their stockade, he stood in the crowd and watched everyone, he could only be seen in the crowd, handsome and extraordinary, and had the momentum of an unbeatable king.
"A chivalrous man who walks the world with a sword," Shangguan Yue thought for a moment, "or a general who leads the Quartet." ”
Shen Jiahe snickered in her heart, but there was a regretful expression on her face: "But life is so peaceful, we all have children, and he will be a good father who will watch his children write and learn martial arts at home in the future." ”
It doesn't seem to be the love he wants, but there is a little yearning for that kind of life, Shangguan Yue felt that he was a little contradictory, so he had to look at Shen Jiahe and smile.
The two were talking and laughing, when they heard Pei Yuan's voice talking outside: "Jiahe, are you done?" Don't come back and rest yet. ”
Shangguan Yue winked at Shen Jiahe: "Your good father is looking for you, don't go back quickly." ”
Shen Jiahe helped Shangguan Yue tuck the quilt, said goodnight to her, and put down the bed tent before walking out with a smile, Pei Yuan saw her with a smile on her face, a little delicious: "It seems that I have a very happy chat with Miss Shangguan." ”
"It's so obvious, it's easy to tell!" Shen Jiahe said proudly.
The two days passed quickly, and Liuyu and Bai Ying were following their orders to pack up the things they wanted to take away in the house.
Pei Yuan took Shen Jiahe to say goodbye to Shangguan Ning, "There have been many disturbances in the past few days, and today we are ready to go back to the capital, and Mrs. Shangguan, please take care." ”
Mrs. Shangguan said regretfully: "I wanted you to stay here for a few more days, but knowing that you still have children to take care of at home, it is not good for me to stay any longer." ”
Shen Jiahe stepped forward to hold Shangguan Ning's hand and said, "Please also ask Mrs. Shangguan to have time to go to the capital for a walk, so that we can give us a chance to entertain you." ”
Shangguan Yue had just gotten up at this time, and he was going to come to his mother to say goodbye, but he didn't want to know the news that they were leaving, "Why did you leave so quickly, I still haven't talked to you about it!" ”
When Shen Jiahe saw Shangguan Yue coming in, he hurriedly pulled her over and said with a smile: "Maybe one day it's okay, I'll bother me again, I must be worried about my family after coming out for a long time, we can't stay longer." ”
Shangguan Yue remembered something, and hurriedly shouted: "Then you wait, I'll go get something." ”
Seeing Shangguan Yue running out in a hurry, Shangguan Ning shook her head helplessly: "My daughter has always been so reckless, then let's go to the door and wait for her." ”
The things had all been packed and put in the carriage, Liuyu and Bai Ying had been waiting there for a long time, Shen Jiahe and Shangguan Ning stood by the carriage and said goodbye, Shangguan Yue hurriedly ran over with something.
She stuffed a metal-like thing into Shen Jiahe's hand, bit her ear and said, "I did it myself, don't dislike it." ”
Shen Jiahe looked down and saw that it was a golden bracelet, but it didn't look like it was made of gold, but it was also well tucked away in his sleeve: "Thank you, I must come to the capital if I have the opportunity in the future." ”
The carriage roared out of the mountains and forests, and Shangguan Ning looked at his daughter's stupid gaze, and was really a little surprised: "I thought you didn't like Mrs. Shen, why did you think of giving her a gift?" ”
Shangguan Yue retracted his gaze, twisted his fingers and said, "I don't dislike her, it's just what you think." When she saw Shen Jiahe for the first time, she felt that only she could be worthy of someone like Pei Yuan.
The beautiful temperament at first sight, the bravery and intelligence that she found later, all made her want to be such a woman, although her love story is really plain, but it is very likely that she lied to herself, how can she only climb the wall as the pavilion master of the Yuanyuan Pavilion!
Shen Jiahe sat in the carriage and played with the bracelet sent by Shangguan Yue, the pattern on it was carved very simply, and he looked like a novice, but he was still very happy to be able to make a gift for himself.
However, this bracelet seems to have something inside, Shen Jiahe groped for a while, and found that the bracelet could be opened in half, and there was a blade in the front section of the straight back, like a small dagger.
Shen Jiahe took out an apple from the cage, halved it with a dagger, and sent it to Pei Yuan: "Do you want to eat it, it looks sweet." ”
Pei Yuan turned his head and kissed the corner of Shen Jiahe's mouth: "No need, you already feel sweet and lose your teeth when you eat it." As he spoke, he exaggerated the left side of his face.
Shen Jiahe glared at Pei Yuan with disgust, and the carriage outflow and Bai Ying glanced at each other, and immediately turned their faces away, the tips of their ears were red, and they really felt that their teeth were sore.
The two are on their way back to the capital, and Pei Shu has been in charge of the country for a long time, and recently he has begun to revise the system of officials, which of course will touch the interests of many people.
The ministers of the early dynasty had already quarreled about this matter, Pei Shu stood on the side of the dragon chair and calmly watched the noise below, and did not speak, and not long after the ministers saw that Pei Shu did not speak for a long time, so they recommended an old minister to come out and express his opinion.
"This matter is very important, we still have to wait for the emperor to come back to make a decision, if the prince feels that the time has dragged on for too long, he can naturally write to the emperor, if the emperor thinks this matter is feasible, the ministers have no second words."
Pei Shu was not angry, he just smiled and said to the man: "Zhang Aiqing is going to be honored in two years, he was pushed out at this time, and the palace looked cold, you can rest assured, your old salary will not move, for this court, for the courtiers who have contributed to the Pei family, the court will naturally not treat you badly, and the salary will be determined by political performance, just to let you do a good job for the court and the people." ”
He paused, glanced at the people below, and asked word by word, "Or do you want to fish in troubled waters?" Want to hold on to your position and not do anything? ”
Without waiting for the people below to refute, Pei Shu continued: "I know that you all say no, and you will all show your loyalty, since this is the case, then why should you be afraid of this set of salary reform system formulated by this palace?" The emperor handed over the power of supervising the country to the palace, if the palace went to consult on everything, how could the emperor feel at ease to observe the people's feelings outside. ”
Pei Hao looked at the ministers speechless, and nodded at Pei Shu with relief, this kid is growing up very fast! It seems that it won't be long before Pei Yuan will be able to live a life of a wife and children on a hot kang.
But before that, he still had to help Pei Yuan and support Pei Shu, and he came out at this time and said: "What the prince said is very reasonable, you who let the prince write a letter to the emperor, are you tired outside, you want the emperor to mess up outside, and you can't properly mention the people's feelings!" ”
"Lord Ling, what do you mean by this, it's just a matter of facts, don't just button your hat casually!"
Pei Hao glanced at him: "Lord Lin, I didn't say anything about you, why are you in a hurry!" ”
Lord Lin was choked for a moment, and could only retreat indignantly, so no one dared to answer again, Pei Hao said loudly: "This time the prince's plan has been read by the king, and the king suggests that you should also take a good look, the prince said that he wants to reduce the salary, and the reduction is the salary of people who have not made political achievements in the past few years since he took the throne, if you are all good officials, why are you afraid of this newly reformed system." ”
There were constantly whispers in the court, but no one dared to come out to refute Pei Hao's words, Pei Shu smiled gratefully at Pei Hao, and then said with a straight face: "Since this is the case, then this matter is so decided, and this palace will have someone to improve the system this time." ”
