Chapter 5: Names and Gifts
Now there is a lot of noise between the Tang Dynasty and the Arab Empire.
But it's not time to actually get started.
It's like playing chess.
Both sides are carrying out the opening layout, as long as the opportunity comes, it is the beginning of the real fight.
Therefore, no matter how tense the situation between the two sides is, Pei Min is leisurely here.
Anyway, if Gaochang Cang is not successfully built in one day, and the food in the cabin is not saved in one day, Pei Min has no intention of doing it.
Ancient battles are no better than modern hot weapons.
In particular, the decisive battle related to the fate of the East and the West cannot be decided in a day or two.
It's normal to fight for a year or two, and even three or five years is unknown.
Just like the Battle of Changping in history, it was only the first stage, and the two sides of Qin and Zhao fought for three years.
If it weren't for King Zhao's stupidity, he changed generals on the spot and replaced Lian Po with Zhao Kuo, God knows how long he would fight. You must know that Bai Qi is in the hands of Lian Po and did not take advantage.
Without enough logistical food and grass support, Pei Min really didn't have the courage to open the prelude to the East-West Armageddon.
Therefore, Pei Min has enough time to accompany his mother, wife and children at home.
Little Seven and Little Eight have reached the age of starting to learn knowledge.
In addition to teaching his children to read and write, Pei Min also began to pay attention to the specialties of his son and daughter.
Pei Min found that Xiao Qi likes to doodle, and whenever he is bored after finishing his homework, he will use his pen to describe the things in front of him, and he can see what he is drawing.
Unlike Pei Min, who used gunpowder to draw a bear's big face and turned it into a dog face.
As for Xiaoba, he is also becoming more and more introverted, he likes to read, and he has the feeling of never leaving his hand when he is young.
Pei Min also paid special attention to the details: compared with the orthodox anthology, Xiaoba likes essays more, and all kinds of essays also make Pei Min completely unaware of how to cultivate his own child.
Pei Min went to the backyard to talk to his mother.
Pei Mu happened to say Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba, and said: "It would be nice if Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba's temperaments were changed." Xiao Qi is getting wilder and wilder, and it seems that such a big Governor's Mansion can't trap her. On the contrary, it is Xiaoba, who is quiet, with a book in his hand, and can stay for an hour when he squats in a place. ”
The old man didn't mean anything else.
Although she was born in poverty, she grew up in a family since she was a child, and her vision is far from that of ordinary women.
The Pei family is also a family of gate valves, as long as it is a family of gate valves, there is a common problem: political marriage of gate valves.
The family is worthy of the cultivation of women in the clan, what three from the four virtues, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, are all required to learn the project.
A well-read woman has naturally become the target of public readers.
Therefore, most scholars are keen to marry the "five surname women" of famous families as pride, and take Jinshi and marrying five surname women as the two major goals in life.
Pei's mother naturally hopes that her granddaughter is a sought-after commodity and can marry a good family.
In the future, you will have no worries about food and clothing, food and housing.
Jiao Chen smiled awkwardly and did not speak.
Pei Min happened to hear it and said, "Don't change it, don't change it, that's it, it's just right." When a daughter-in-law marries into the door, we can watch, but when a daughter marries out, we can't see it. What should I do if I am too quiet and bullied? The daughter of our Pei family, how can there be a reason to bully others. When she's older, I'll teach her martial arts. ”
Pei Mu said angrily: "Talking nonsense again, I think Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba are for you to spoil." ”
Pei Min smiled and said: "What's the matter, the child really thinks that Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba are already very good." Xiao Qi likes to paint and paint, and the child plans to take a look at this convenient training. The best painter of this era painted for His Majesty in Chang'an, and I couldn't invite him. But the second best is in Guzang, you can be a teacher for Xiaoqi, and it is not necessary to cultivate a famous painter. As a famous painter, it is indispensable to travel all over the world, and it is normal to yearn for the outside world. ”
He was naturally Wang Wei.
"The poems of Maha, there are paintings in the poems, look at the paintings of the poems, there are poems in the paintings" Su Dongpo praised it greatly, and it was naturally not bad.
"As for Hachi, this kid hasn't seen it yet. But a child who likes to read books is naturally smart, and where can he get there in the future? Maybe it's a great writer, maybe it's Xiao He, Guan Zhong and other talents, and it's more likely that Zhang Liang, Zhuge , Wang Meng and other Wang Zuo. ”
It doesn't matter if it's true or not, anyway, Pei Min has high hopes for his son.
This is also the voice of every parent.
Jiao Chen also looked yearning when he heard it.
Gongsun You on the side was even more envious, and it had been more than half a year since he passed the door. Pei Min is also very fond of him, but for some reason, his stomach just doesn't react at all.
Pei Mu was also happy, and said with a smile: "What you say is true, you really have to have achievements." My mother will wake up laughing in her dreams......"
Pei Min immediately answered: "That's not good, mother, I can't sleep tonight." ”
Pei Mu laughed for a while and said, "Okay, don't make trouble." Xiaoqi and Xiaoba are not small this year. You can't always call Xiaoqi and Xiaoba, it's time to name them, and I don't know how you became a father. Other people's children have their own names when they are two or three years old. Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba have not given them until now. ”
Pei Min said with a smile: "Isn't this a smooth call for Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba, in fact, the name has been thought of a long time ago, and I didn't say it." ”
Jiao Chen has also been caring about this, but she didn't open her mouth to urge, and looked at her husband in a daze.
Pei Mu also said eagerly: "What's it called?" ”
"Pei Muyu, Pei Yanfeng, what do you think?" Pei Min said the two names he had been thinking about for a long, long, long time.
Don't ask why six is a long time.
"Pei Muyu, Pei Yanfeng!"
Pei's mother and grandson read the name and didn't understand the meaning for a while.
Jiao Chen, as the first person in Chang'an, was brilliant, and reacted immediately, saying: "This is from "Zhuangzi"? ”
Pei Min said: ""Zhuangzi Tianxia" said: The flood of the annihilation of Xiyu broke the river and led to Siyi Kyushu. There are 300 famous mountains, 3,000 branches, and countless small ones. Yu personally manipulated the rivers of the world. The philip has no girdles, the shin has no hair, the rain is very strong, and the wind is fierce, and it puts all the nations. ”
"I hope that no matter what the future holds, even if it is raining rains and braving strong winds, they can still forge ahead. The so-called great responsibility from heaven is also for the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skin, and empty their bodies. Primary 7 and 8 have never tasted the warmth and coldness of the world, but I hope that I can have the opportunity to let them experience some ups and downs and help them grow. ”
Pei's mother immediately said: "How can you be a father like this?" It's enough for the name to be exposed to the wind and rain, and you really want them to suffer? Mother doesn't agree! ”
Pei Min smiled and said, "The child will talk about it." ”
It's easy to say, and the names of Xiaoqi and Xiaoba have finally been decided.
However, Xiaoqi and Xiaoba are a little cold about their new names.
Although Pei Muyu and Pei Yanfeng are not unpleasant, they are far less straightforward than Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba.
The two little guys still like to get used to the names Little Seven and Little Eight.
Originally, all the internal things of Pei Mansion were handled by Jiao Chen alone.
Jiao Chen handled no matter how big or small, and there was no mistake all the time.
But due to the complexity of everything, there are seven and eight children who need to be taken care of, and they are quite tired. So much so that the three workshops in Taozhou, the inn wine store in Chang'an and the Taoshi shop have not been asked for many years.
Only check the accounts once in a while, make sure that there are no major problems with the accounts, and let it go.
Originally, the status of the richest man in Taozhou once again surpassed the Long family.
Although Pei Min and Jiao Chen don't care about this, they also prove a truth from the side, sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat.
It doesn't matter what the industry is, if you don't move forward, someone will immediately surpass you.
Gongsun You's entry into the house solved the problem here.
Gongsun You traveled south and north, and also had to take care of a troublesome sister, who was tactful and resourceful, rigid and soft, and had a better way of dealing with people than Jiao Chen, who was born in Qinglou, and shared a lot of work for Jiao Chen.
Especially the external affairs of the house, Gongsun You is responsible.
Gongsun You found Pei Min on this day and said, "Pei Lang, it will be the birthday of the loyal heir in a short time, what gifts should I prepare to send them?" ”
In ancient times, birthdays were not said here, and the people who usually celebrated birthdays were old people, so it was called birthdays.
A person of Wang Zhongsi's age is not a birthday.
But this year is different, this year Wang Zhongsi is twenty years old.
The ancients regarded twenty as a weak crown, and men in twenty years generally had to be crowned by their elders, and only men who performed the crown ceremony could be regarded as adults.
But there are exceptions.
Wang Zhonghei is young and old, in order to go into battle as soon as possible, his daughter-in-law has taken it, and the crown ceremony is naturally exempted.
This represents the age of an adult, and it is natural for Pei Min to give a big gift as a brother.
Pei Min smiled and turned around and hugged Gongsun You's small waist, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this big gift, the gift for the husband started to prepare eight years ago." ”
In this broad daylight, Pei Min was so intimate, and Gongsun You's face inevitably showed a little shame.
Pei Min smiled and said, "Old husband and wife, what is there to be shy, I'll go to your room later." ”
There was a little envy in Gongsun You's eyes, and Pei Min also saw it in his eyes.
As a husband, Pei Min naturally wants to fulfill his wife's wishes and do his best for it.
Gongsun Youben wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he agreed again.
*********
Don't leave the post!
Wang Zhongsi lay on the grass of Qinghai Lake, the breeze gently brushing his face, faintly bringing the fragrance of earth and grass.
Lying on the grass, closing my eyes, and the silence in my ears, there is really a feeling of isolation from the world.
It has been more than a year since Lai Mo left the post to take office.
In the past year or so, Wang Zhonghe's official position has changed from the military envoy of the Xuanfeng Army to General Zuo Weiwei, the governor of Mo Liyi, and the county governor of Qingyuan, and his status has risen by four steps.
His achievements have nothing to do with Pei Min, every appointment is directly issued by Li Longji.
Pei Min gave Wang Zhongsi the right to fight independently, which made Wang Zhongsi like a fish in water.
Wang Zhongsi was brave and belligerent, and the others had already begun to plan an attack before they arrived at Mo Liyi.
When he led the soldiers captured by Ziting to Moliyi, he secretly picked up five hundred soldiers from Longyou's servant Gu Huai'en, and let these five hundred soldiers pretend to be himself.
He himself personally led the king to a rare group of brothers, day and night, without any contact with Mo Liyi's guards, and rushed directly into Qinghai Lake.
Even Mo Liyi's guards didn't know whether Wang Zhongsi's army was an enemy or a friend, let alone the Tubo soldiers in Qinghai Lake?
With a calculating intention or not, Wang Zhonghe's new official took office and killed 1,300 Tubo soldiers and captured thousands of sheep and horses.
directly ignited the first fire of his new official taking office.
When this battle reached Chang'an, Li Longji was so happy that he had immunity to Pei Min's brilliant achievements.
Now that another person has achieved such an achievement, Li Longji is extremely happy, just like Zhang Shouqi in the northeast of Fengchan, so that Wang Zhonghei will climb steadily.
Wang Zhongsi is in Mo Liyi, sometimes three battles in January, sometimes no war in March, but all the troops must be successful in every battle, thirteen small battles with Tubo in a year, a total of more than 10,000 enemies annihilated, the Tubo army of Qinghai Lake killed is a rumor, grass and trees are soldiers.
Wang Zhonghe's status naturally rose with the tide and became the county magistrate of Qingyuan.
There was a slight but rhythmic vibration on the ground, and Wang Zhongji frowned, discerning that a war horse was galloping in this direction.
Before he could get up, he had already heard the voice of the rider, "Big brother, how come you have free time to bask in the sun here!" ”
It is his most profitable subordinate Wang is rare.
Wang Zhongsi smiled: "If you are bored and don't bask in the sun, what else can you do?" ”
"Kill Tibet!"
Wang had a rare serious face, compared to the aimless defense in Ziting, here in Mo Liyi, he was happy to kill.
"Killing Tibet" has directly become a slogan.
Wang Zhongsi shook his head and said, "If you want to go, I won't send you to death!" ”
Wang rarely dared to lead the team, and shouted uncomfortably: "It's been so long, and there is no chance?" ”
He remembers that it had been more than three months since he last played.
Wang Zhongsi said: "Dazaru Gong is not a fool, he has suffered so many losses, how dare he relax his vigilance." And their military parade is imminent, this is the head, give Dazarugon ten dares, and he doesn't dare to make any mistakes. I'm not going to touch this brow......"
Wang said with disdain: "Qinghai Lake has disturbed us unpeacefully, and it is said that on the southern side, Nanzhao also won the battle. They are still in vain at this time, and they are also powerful. ”
"You know what?" Wang Zhongsi sat up and said solemnly: "The more this is the case, the more we must stabilize the morale of the army." When the situation in the Western Regions is turbulent, it depends on when Tubo will be able to take a free time. This time, Tubo Zampu personally went down to the plateau to Qinghai Lake for a military parade, which was the mind of Sima Lao Thief, and it was obvious. ”
He pinched his chin and said, "Brother Min said that if he dragged Tubo, he was dragging the situation in the Western Regions. Tubo is unwilling to let us hold ......"
Wang was confused.
He is a simple tiger general, he is a good hand at charging into battle, but he doesn't have the ability to use his brain.
Suddenly, he remembered what was going on and said, "Big brother, today is your birthday?" ”
Wang Zhongsi patted his head and said with a smile: "If you don't say it, I still forgot." Okay, it's rare, I can remember my birthday, I remember it myself. ”
Wang rarely smiled embarrassedly and said: "I really don't have this ability, it's Pei Shuai, he sent a gift." Say it's for you......"
"Brother Min?"
Wang Zhongsi's eyes suddenly lit up, he cheered happily, and went directly to the horse.
