Chapter 119: Windfall
Pei Hao couldn't cry or laugh when he heard Pei Niting's words, he took out his free hand and pushed the golden hairpin around his neck to the side before explaining: "This is my sister's child, your misunderstanding is too big." ”
Jintai half-convinced took the golden hairpin in his hand, reinserted it back into his head, looked at Pei Niting and asked softly, "Little girl, what do you call this person?" ”
"This is uncle," Pei Niting replied crisply, and then looked at Jintai and asked curiously, "What is an illegitimate daughter?" Do you still want to go to the palace to complain to your uncle? ”
Jintai blushed, and thought that he was really teaching bad children, so he snorted twice: "Sister said the wrong thing, there is no illegitimate daughter, don't forget to remember in your heart, my sister will not go to sue the emperor." ”
Pei Hao looked at Jintai helplessly and said, "What sister, she should call you aunt." ”
Pei Niting blinked, smiled and shouted to Jintai Aunt, and then leaned on Pei Hao's shoulder and whispered: "It turns out that she is your princess, but this bride is not the same as Tingting before." ”
Jintai wears the traditional costumes of Northern Burma, which is naturally different from the wedding clothes in the capital, Pei Niting has never seen it before, and it is normal not to recognize it for a while.
Jintai also laughed when he heard her words, and reached out to hold her in his arms: "My aunt was a little fierce just now, are you angry?" ”
"Don't be angry," Pei Niting put her arms around Jintai's neck, "It's because Tingting didn't tell her aunt who Tingting is, so she was regarded as a bad person by her aunt." ”
Pei Niting snorted and laughed, Pei Hao listened to the movement outside and gradually decreased, so he coaxed Tingting and said, "Uncle will send you to grandma, and when you wake up tomorrow, you will come to play with your aunt." ”
Pei Hao took Pei Niting out, and then turned around and instructed: "You let the maids wait for you to wash up first, and I'll come back as soon as I send Tingting." ”
The next day was the day when the lord of Northern Burma left with his envoys, Pei Hao took Jintai to see him off early in the morning, all the way to the official road outside Beijing, and the lord of Northern Burma reluctantly said: "Go back, here is the official road, no need to send it again." ”
Jintai stepped forward and hugged his father, although he was very reluctant in his heart, he still forced a smile: "Father, my daughter will go back to see you when she has the opportunity." ”
The lord of the country nodded, but he looked past Jintai and looked at Pei Hao behind him, Pei Hao hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "Father." ”
"I handed over my daughter to you, you must take good care of her, don't think that her maiden home is far away and you can act recklessly." The lord of the country spoke to him half-entrusting, half-threatening.
Pei Hao hurriedly lowered his head and replied: "Erchen doesn't dare, Erchen will definitely take good care of Jintai and never let his father worry." ”
The lord of the country nodded, and then took out a short knife from his arms, he sent the short knife to Pei Hao, and said to him solemnly: "This knife is a treasure that I have treasured for many years, and now that my precious daughter is married to you, I will give you this treasure knife as well, you must take it." ”
"Son-in-law, thank your father!" Pei Hao took it with both hands.
The lord of Northern Burma took the envoy to the official road and disappeared without a trace, Pei Hao held Jintai in his arms, and after a long time, he suddenly found that his chest was a little wet.
Jin Tai's unshed tears finally began to break after her father left, and she buried her face in Pei Hao's chest, trying not to make a sound, but the loneliness of being in a foreign land made her breathless.
She took two big breaths before she asked with a crying voice, "Pei Hao, you will always be with me." ”
Pei Hao gently patted her back, put his chin on the top of her hair, and promised her in a low voice: "Yes, I will always accompany you, and when I have time, I will take you back to Northern Burma." ”
After that day, two days passed and it was the 100th day of Yao Xinrou's child, Yao Xinrou's previous schedule was to invite Yiming in every possible way, but Yao's mother temporarily regretted that she would not let Yao Xinrou go back, and let Yao Xinrou live in her mother's house for a while.
At that time, the Yao family felt that the full moon wine was a little unpleasant in their mother's house, so they waited until the child was almost 100 days old to take it back to the Cheng family, and then postponed the full moon wine to a 100-day wine.
Shen Jiahe rushed over with Bai Ying early in the morning, and when she saw Cheng Yiming at the gate of the house, she just nodded her head, after that incident, Shen Jiahe always felt a little uncomfortable, but fortunately, she and Cheng Yiming didn't have to come and go often.
Cheng Yiming also responded politely, and did not deliberately warm up, but made Shen Jiahe feel a lot more comfortable.
Shen Jiahe gave their child a golden lock and put it in a small box: "Now that the child is too young, it is better to bring it older." ”
Yao Xinrou instructed Chunhe to put the box away, and then said to Shen Jiahe: "Let you break the bank, you will send it when I am just pregnant." ”
Shen Jiahe touched the child's exposed little fingers, and his eyes were full of love: "How can it be the same, every birthday in the future will be a gift." ”
She raised her head again and looked at Yao Xinrou and smiled: "Okay, it's not worth much, it's just an auspicious picture." ”
Yao Xinrou saw that she was teasing the child again, and the gentleness in her eyes seemed to be about to melt into water, so she smiled and quipped: "You hurry up and marry King Xian, and give birth to one, you and King Xian are so handsome and beautiful, and the child born must be very good-looking." Thinking about it like this, I can't wait to drink your wine. ”
Shen Jiahe's fingers were held in the child's hand, she shook it from side to side, and saw that he was clenching tighter, and heard Yao Xinrou's voice in her ears again, she raised her head and smiled: "My days are coming soon, you don't have to worry, now it's better to take care of your own body, I see that you are thinner than before after giving birth." ”
The two talked intermittently, during which they also went into the house to watch the children, and after a lively morning, Shen Jiahe was about to say goodbye and leave, when he saw Chunhe at the door come in and say: "Miss Shen, King Xian came to pick you up, and the housekeeper left the prince in the outer hall to drink tea." ”
Yao Xinrou stretched out her hand and pushed her: "Don't go quickly, it's just to come out to eat a happy noodle, and you want to pick it up in person, Jiahe, you are really a blessing." ”
Shen Jiahe smiled and nodded goodbye to her, and then took Bai Ying to follow Chunhe to the outer hall, and when he got there, he saw Pei Yuan sitting aside with a tea cup, but he didn't mean to send it to his mouth.
Seeing her come out of the room, Pei Yuan hurriedly got up and greeted her, faintly feeling relieved, Shen Jiahe smiled and whispered to him: "But the tea here is not the right appetite." ”
Pei Yuan shook his head, and took Shen Jiahe to say goodbye to everyone in the outer hall first, and after the two of them walked out with the maid, Pei Yuan whispered back to her: "It's not that the tea tastes wrong, it's that the people who sat just now are really a headache, it's obviously a child's hundred-day banquet, but it made them a place to climb and make friends, I am really impatient to deal with them." ”
Shen Jiahe followed him into the carriage and comforted helplessly: "It's rare to have such a fair and honest banquet, they always have to seize the opportunity, if you don't like it and don't come in the future, I also took the maid and the little maid out, so you don't have to pick it up every time." ”
The two were talking in the carriage, and when the carriage was about to arrive at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Liuyu, who was sitting outside, saw a man wandering at the gate at the door, and was about to ask out loud, when he raised his head, it turned out to be Cheng Yifeng.
"Brother Cheng, why are you here?" Liuyu jumped out of the carriage first, ran to his side, reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
Cheng Yifeng turned around and saw that it was Liuyu, and immediately smiled: "Come and send something to Miss Shen." ”
At this time, Shen Jiahe had already been helped out of the carriage by Pei Yuan, and he was very surprised to see Cheng Yifeng: "Didn't Bai Wei come along?" ”
Cheng Yifeng shook his head, with a happy expression on his face: "She is now a month old, so it is not convenient for her to go out, Miss Shen, I have something to hand over to you this time." ”
Shen Jiahe took Cheng Yifeng to the living room, and was a little curious about the things he sent: "What else do you need to run in person?" ”
Cheng Yifeng untied the burden on his body, opened the layer of old blue cloth, and put a sword inside: "This was found in the mine, originally we thought that this mine was mined by no one, but we didn't expect that there would be a secret passage inside, which was found from the dark passage, but we couldn't tell whether it was good or bad, and we couldn't use it, so I brought it over to the girl." ”
Shen Jiahe took the sword in his hand and looked at it, but he couldn't tell whether it was good or bad, so he handed it to Pei Yuan again, and then said with Cheng Yifeng and said with a smile: "Since it was delivered, I will accept it, if you need help in the future, you don't have to be polite to me." ”
Cheng Yifeng thanked him with a smile, and then asked Pei Yuan: "What does the prince think?" Is it a good weapon? ”
"It's okay, it should be made of fine iron, and the pattern on the hilt of the sword is also very chic, you have a heart." Pei Yuan said with a smile, and casually put the sword on the desk, "I'm more interested in that secret passage, and I have time to go over and take a look." ”
Cheng Yifeng was worried that Bai Wei was at home alone, and he didn't want to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion to eat, so Shen Jiahe had to send someone to send him out, and after the people dispersed, Shen Jiahe asked Pei Yuan: "It seems that this sword is not good?" ”
Pei Yuan nodded, just now he didn't want Cheng Yifeng to be embarrassed, he pointed to the sword and explained to Shen Jiahe: "This sword is actually just good-looking, and it is just a vain appearance for us martial arts practitioners."
Shen Jiahe smiled clearly, and was about to tell Bai Ying to put things away, when he saw Shen Jiajue walking in from outside, he looked at the sword at a glance, and asked with a smile: "Hey, this looks good, where did you get it?" ”
Shen Jiahe was still worried that this thing would be put away and take up space, so he had to send it out first: "Cheng Yifeng sent it, but we don't need it, if the eldest brother likes it, keep it." ”
Shen Jiajue returned to the study with a happy heart holding the sword, and what Shen Jiahe didn't know was that this sword Shen Jiajue was also very uncomfortable to use, just like Pei Yuan said, if it was used for two strokes, it would be very cumbersome to use.
It was useless for him to keep it, and it was a pity to abandon it, and as soon as he turned around, he presented this sword to the emperor in the early dynasty.
But I don't know what the emperor thinks in his heart, he took the sword and watched half a cup of tea before he smiled with Shen Jiajue: "Shen Aiqing really has a heart, I saw the gorgeous appearance of this sword, and I thought that it must not be suitable for real fighting, but just now I took it out and looked at it, and found that this sword blade is actually extremely sharp, it is really a good sword." ”
"The sword that knows how to hide its strength is very unusual, and the person who wants to make this sword is also a master, King Xian, do you say yes?" The emperor glanced at Pei Yuan very meaningfully.
Pei Yuan immediately bowed down and replied: "The younger brother saw this sword in the Prime Minister's Mansion yesterday, and he really didn't have the discerning eye to discern the mystery, thank you to the emperor for solving your doubts today." ”
"Really?" A sneer appeared on the corner of the emperor's mouth, and then he continued, "I give this sword the name and shadow of the sword, and give it to King Xian, and I hope that King Xian will one day be able to kill the enemy and defend the territory for me." ”
As soon as these words came out, I was surprised, Pei Yuan's scholar Wang Ye's name has been around for a long time, this ...... If you can go into battle to kill the enemy? Did the emperor mean something or did he have other plans?
Pei Yuan didn't have a trace of expression on his face, and continued to bow his head and said: "The emperor pins his hopes on his younger brother, and the younger brother will not dare to live up to the trust. ”
"King Xian is too modest, I really believe that with your strength, even if you are a general now, you are fully competent." The emperor didn't want him to continue to hide his strength under the pretext of doing so.
Pei Yuan raised his head after hearing this, and just took a deep breath at the emperor's eyes that seemed to be smiling, and then tried his best to suppress the breath in his heart.
