Chapter 70: Chibako
There is a courtyard in the backyard of the palace, called Cuiyun Pavilion, it is a place for several women to gather and chat, Cuiyun Pavilion is still the name given by Yelu Chun Wei Wangfu, from the north window of Cuiyun Pavilion, it is a bamboo forest, if it is spring and summer, the north courtyard is verdant and crystal clear, like a green cloud, Jin Lian feels that the name is also appropriate, and it has been inherited.
Early in the morning of this day, Boss Pan hurriedly came to the palace to see Jin Lian, and after receiving him from Gong E, he was led by Gong E, and the Qiqiao girls smiled and said hello to Boss Pan, leaving Boss Pan and Jin Lian to talk.
Boss Pan bowed respectfully to Jin Lian and knelt down and kowtowed: "I've seen the princess!" β
Jin Lian looked at her uncle helplessly, this uncle didn't pay so much attention to it before, but since he was knighted, he has become especially particular about etiquette, and he memorizes the etiquette of the court very well, and Wu Zhi often laughs and says that he should be sent to the Ministry of Rites to be an official.
"Get up, tell you how many times, I don't like this at home!"
"The princess is considerate of her family......"
"Okay, okay, tell me what's going on." Jin Lian interrupted his ramblings.
"Good Lady ......"
Jin Lian put down the white jade teacup in his hand and said, "Uncle, let's call me Jin Lian, you don't have to talk to your niece anymore, it's better to call your aunt to talk to me." β
Boss Pan smiled and said, "Yes...... It's gold...... The princess heard that the prince is a thousand years old, and he is going to marry Concubine Ping? β
Jin Lian nodded: "It's been more than half a month since the team walked for more than half a month. However, the road is long, and it is estimated that it will take another month to come back. What does this do, you ask? β
Boss Pan sighed. muttered: "Why is there a concubine in a good way?" It's really ......."
Jin Lian frowned slightly and said, "Uncle is here to tell me about this?" β
Boss Pan hurriedly shook his head and smiled: "No, no, I just thought, on the day of the prince's wedding, the mansion will definitely have some restaurants outside to entertain guests, hehe, after all, there are only a few people who can enter the palace to eat......" looked at Jin Lian and said cautiously: "Princess, you don't know, I have changed my past recently." A few days ago, I pawned a restaurant and wanted to do some business, didn't my aunt tell you? β
Jin Lian smiled: "Speaking of which, my niece is also very happy for you, it turns out that my uncle is here to discuss business with my niece." β
Boss Pan laughed dryly: "Look at what business you said is not business?" Isn't this a worry for the prince? β
Jin Lian smiled: "That's it? Then the niece will be in charge. β
Boss Pan pondered for a moment and said, "Can you ...... Can. Just look for a restaurant outside...... Leave it to me? β¦β¦ Ah, Princess, don't worry, I'll do things neatly and beautifully, and I won't lose your face......"
Jin Lian glanced at Boss Pan a few times, pondered for a while, and said, "Well, I know, what it means to go back and ask Xianggong." β
As soon as Boss Pan heard it, he knew that this matter had become such a trivial matter of sesame mung beans, where would your king care? At the moment, Jin Lian laughed and said goodbye, and got up to send him off. Boss Pan was busy stopping Jin Lian, and he could only stay and look at the back of Boss Pan leaving, Jin Lian shook her head helplessly.
Boss Pan walked out of Cuiyun Pavilion, led out of the backyard by Gong E, and there were guards at the backyard door, leading through several courtyards and out of the mansion gate, Boss Pan let out a long breath, stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and looked at the golden plaque on the door of the mansion. Boss Pan sighed every time he entered the palace. He seems to be overwhelmed by something, isn't he? Winter days. But she was sweating, alas, the loser just didn't want to come to help her speak, otherwise she wouldn't have to suffer this crime!
"Why is my uncle sighing at the door of his house? What's upset? β
Boss Pan's body stiffened, and he turned his head very quickly, Wu Zhi was smiling, looking at him with a beautiful little girl carved in pink and jade, and the little girl also looked at him curiously with wide eyes.
"Your king Chitose villain kowtows to you!" Boss Pan was about to kneel, but was already pulled by Wu Zhi's hand and said with a smile: "Uncle, don't be like this!" β
Boss Pan laughed a few times: "Your king, who are you?" β
Wu Zhi shook his hand helplessly and Chibazi: "The little girl pestered me to accompany her to play......
Boss Pan smiled at Chibazi and said, "Chibazi is getting more and more beautiful!" β
Chibazi smiled happily: "Thank you, uncle!" β
Wu Zhi said: "Uncle is in trouble? β
Boss Pan hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, you're busy, you're busy......"
Wu Zhi smiled and nodded, bowed his head and said to Chibazi, "Let's go!" I'm going to buy you candy! Chibazi nodded vigorously, took Wu Zhi's hand and walked towards Nandong, shouting in his mouth: "Okay, good, I like to eat the biggest big brother of Li Laolu's family the most, let's hurry up Zhao" He sells it quickly! Can't buy ...... late."
Boss Pan looked at Wu Zhi, who was laughing with Chibazi and left, and after a while, his heartbeat slowly calmed down, he now knows how terrible this "nephew" is, how can Song Zhisi say that he is also a court official, but in this way, he was cut in half, and the body was transported back to Beiping Mansion Soon after, the case was solved, and it was said that what Jiangyang thief nicknamed "Bantam Tiger" did it, and he was sentenced to beheading, but Boss Pan clearly understood in his heart that this was his "nephew" Looking at the handwriting again, he and Chiba Zi were happy, and with a kind big brotherly look, Boss Pan turned around and left in a hurry.
Wu Zhi Chiba held his hand tightly and watched the little guy pull himself forward reluctantly, his forehead seemed to be a little sweaty, and he had no choice but to speed up his pace and keep up with the beat of the little guy, so as not to be seen by Qiqiao and said that he was bullying Chibazi.
It's also very helpless to say, since the "sashimi" incident, Chiba seems to be more and more attached to his big brother, and he loves to pester himself every day, especially when he tells stories to the golden lotus girls, Chiba is the most fascinated by listening, and he loves to grind himself the most to tell her stories, and early this morning, Chiba "caught" himself in the study. Wu Zhi really had a headache and thought about it. Coaxing Chibazi to take her to play in the street for an hour is much more comfortable than telling a story for an hour.
"Chibazi, go slowly......" Takeshi pulled Chibazi's small hand.
"No, his candy sells very quickly, and he can't buy it when it's late, Chibazi likes to eat the candy he makes the most, it's more ...... than what his father bought for Chibazi," Chibako's original chirping voice suddenly stopped, and his steps slowed down.
"Chibako misses her father?" Wu Zhi stopped. Pull over Chibazi, the little guy lowered his head and didn't speak.
Wu Zhi sighed, the news of Japan had already spread back to the source family, and Chiba Zi's father died in battle, and now Chiba Zi has really become an orphan.
"Big brother. Why don't you send Chibako home? Chibazi looked up at Takeshi.
Wu Zhi looked at her silently, not knowing whether to tell her the truth or not.
"Well, that's the case, the sea has been so stormy lately, and the big businessmen don't dare to go to sea, and I will definitely send you home next year!" Seeing Chibazi's eyes staring at herself without blinking, she only had to make up a reason to delay it for a day. Wu Zhi thought helplessly.
Chibako let out an "oh". Tilting his little head, he thought about it and suddenly sighed.
When Chibazi was homesick before, it was Jin Lian and Xuan Jing who persuaded Qiqiao to "bully" her, and it also had some effect, and Wu Zhi could coax the child, so he only took Chibazi's hand and walked silently.
"What a pretty little girl!" Suddenly running next to him, a bewitching woman in glamorous clothes, the strong fragrance of fat powder rushed straight into Wu Zhi's nose, and the enchanting woman squatted in front of Chiba Zi and stroked Chiba Zi's forehead with her hand, but her eyes glanced at Wu Zhi. The teasing in his eyes is full of meaning.
Wu Zhi was stunned for a moment, and when he looked up, he saw a building next to him with ribbons fluttering. From time to time there was a warbler in the building, and the swallow language turned out to be a green building. Chibazi smiled: "Sister, you are so fragrant!" β
The bewitching woman smiled and said, "Of course, does my little sister want to play with my sister?" β
Wu Zhi frowned, pulled Chibazi and said, "Li Laolu, ......" As soon as the three words came out, Chibazi exclaimed: "Big brother, go quickly!" Or you can't buy it! β
Wu Zhi Chiba Zi held his hand and hurriedly walked enchantingly, the woman "fluttered" and smiled and shouted at Wu Zhi's back: "Official...... The slave's name is Xiaoyu! β¦β¦β
After passing a few streets, there was a sugar shop on Li Lao Road in front of him, and Chiba Zi was already out of breath, and Wu Zhi saw her running away, his face was flushed, and he said funny: "Catch that guy back to the palace another day, and make you candy to eat every day!" β
Chibako bends over a small waist and is big. Panting and shaking his little head: "That...... That'...... Sugar is ...... It's not delicious......"
Wu Zhi was stunned, and what this little guy said was also reasonable.
"Chibako, do you know a lot?" Wu Zhi smiled and patted her on the back.
Chibazi slowly eased up, took Wu Zhi's hand and walked towards the sugar store, and said: "In the past, Chibazi liked to eat Uncle Ichiro's ramen, and she also ran to eat it every day, and she often couldn't eat it, and then her father brought Uncle Ichiro back to the house, but Chibazi didn't want to eat it after eating it a few times, so Chibazi knew, forced Uncle He would deliberately make it unpalatable, Chibazi didn't tell Daddy that if Daddy was angry, he would kill Uncle Ichiro's ......"
Wu Zhi laughed when he heard it, children are children, alas......
Entering the sugar store, Chiba immediately let go of Wu Zhi's hand and ran towards the south counter, and there was a circle of people at the south counter, seven or eight adults were holding children in their hands, and before Chiba squeezed over, the crowd sighed, "It's gone again?" "Why don't you do more?"
Chibazi stopped and looked back at Take-sik aggrievedly.
Wu Zhi walked over with a smile: "If it's gone, it's gone, come and buy it tomorrow!" β
Chibazi pouted, nodded, and walked out behind Takeshi.
"Young master, young master, why are you going?" With the woman's exclamation, a white and chubby little boy ran to Chibazi and handed the paper bag in his hand to Chibako: "Do you want to eat?" For you! The little fat man followed behind him, and a maid dressed in a green dress girl couldn't help but shake her head and smile bitterly when she saw the young master's actions.
Wu Zhi looked at this little fat man who was only eleven or twelve years old in amazement, and knew how to please girls at such a young age?
Chibazi's eyes lit up, and she wanted to reach out to pick it up, hesitated for a long time, put her hand down, shook her head, and said, "I don't want it!" β
"Here you go. My family has a lot of money, and I have so much money to buy this sugar water shop! The little fat man shoved the paper bag into Chibazi's hand.
Chibako pulled her hand behind her back. Snorted and said, "My eldest brother can buy a hundred sugar water shops!" β
Wu Zhi looked at the two children amusedly, and said to the maid Nunu over there, and quickly pulled her baby young master back.
At this time, the little fat man turned behind Chibazi, stuffed the paper bag into Chibazi's hand, and said, "Here you go, you don't want me to let my mother beat you!" β
Wu Zhi frowned when he heard this, and Chiba immediately widened his eyes, and the paper bag in the little fat man's hand was knocked off with a "snap". "Go away!" β
The little fat man looked at the paper bag on the ground in a daze, pouted, and cried loudly.
The little fat man's maid immediately panicked, hurriedly came over to coax the little fat man, and pointed at Chibazi and scolded: "Why don't you little girl know what to do?" My young master gave you candy because he could afford you! β
Wu Zhida frowned, pulled up Chibazi and said, "Let's go!" "There's nothing to be angry with a maid.
But the maid in the green dress did not give up. Said loudly: "Don't go!" Stop me! β
Wu Zhi ignored her, and walked out with Chibazi on his own, at this time, a bunch of people came in the store, and the fat woman who walked in front came in and shouted loudly: "Ahhh As he spoke, he ran to the little fat man to catch him and kiss him.
The fat woman didn't care about coaxing the child without looking to the side, but Wu Zhi saw her clearly, and after being stunned for a moment, she couldn't help but shake her head and smile.
The fat woman was coaxing the child, and the other side had already slapped the green-dressed maid in the face. scolded: "Xiao Sao Hoof can't do any trivial things!" Look home, I won't peel you! β
The maid in the green dress covered her face and cried, pointed at Wu Zhi and Chiba Zi and said, "Yes...... It was they who bullied the young master......"
The fat woman was furious, and when she turned around, she saw Wu Zhi's smiling face, and immediately froze, and Wu Zhi smiled: "Mrs. Hu, long time no see!" β
The fat woman was a little at a loss, and she didn't seem to know whether to be angry or how to do it, Wu Zhi smiled: "It's no wonder that children are playing with Mrs. Hu!" β
The fat woman said "yes" a few times. But I don't know what to say.
Wu Zhi pulled Chibazi and walked out, "I'll leave if there's nothing to do!" "And Chibako went far away. In the sugar shop, there was a fat woman's scolding and the crying of the green-dressed-maid, which was Mrs. Hu's anger at the green-dressed.
"Why does Big Brother want everyone to be afraid of you?" After walking for a while, Chiba raised her little head and asked Wu Zhi.
Wu Zhi smiled: "Who is afraid of me? β
"Which aunt was afraid of you just now. The uncle I met in the morning was also afraid of you, and the guards in the house, Uncle Gong E, and Sister Gong E were all afraid of you...... Chibako...... Chibako was afraid of you before......"
Wu Zhi smiled: "Aren't you afraid now?" β
Chibazi nodded her little head: "Don't be afraid much, because Chibazi knows that the eldest brother is a good person!" β
Wu Zhi shook his head, is he a good person?
"Big brother, are they all afraid that your big brother is not alone?" Chibako said softly.
Wu Zhi looked at Chibazi in amazement.
"Father, like the eldest brother, everyone is afraid of him, and my father always tells Chibako that he is lonely...... Before, Chiba didn't know what loneliness was...... Right now...... Now I know......" Chibako said and lowered her head.
Wu Zhi sighed, stretched out his hand to pick up Chibazi, "I'm tired, big brother, take you back home!" β
Chibazi nodded obediently and leaned her little head on Wu Zhi's chest.
"Big brother's arms are so warm......," Chiba muttered as she curled up in Takeshi's arms.
"Is Chibako still lonely now?" Wu Zhi said with a smile
Chibazi shook her little head, "What about the big brother?" β
Wu Zhi was silent for a long time and whispered: "Big brother is not lonely, there is Sister Jin Lian, how can their eldest brother be lonely." β
Chibazi suddenly raised her head and kissed Wu Zhi on the face, "Let's go", "Chibazi will also be the wife of the eldest brother when she grows up, okay?" Then the eldest brother will not be lonely. β
Wu Zhi looked at Chibazi with amusement and shook his head and said, "When you grow up, your eldest brother is old, are you willing to be a wife to an old man?" β
Chibazi frowned: "Will the eldest brother become frowning at that time?" β
Wu Zhi smiled and nodded.
Chibazi had a bitter face, not knowing what she was thinking in her thoughts.
Until he entered the backyard of the palace, Chibazi was still there, and with a sad face, Wu Zhi gently put Chibazi down and said with a smile: "I'm home!" β
"Ah, Chibazi has a way, Chibazi can marry the eldest brother now!" Chibako seemed to have a brilliant idea and shouted happily.
"Ahh Before Wu Zhi had time to cover Chibazi's mouth, there was already a woman's exclamation next to him, and Wu Zhi had a headache when he heard the call, but it was not good to be heard by her.
Turning around, Qiqiao looked at Wu Zhi and Chiba with wide eyes and pointed at Wu Zhi with his finger: "Xianggong...... You ......" and pointed to Chibako: "Chibako...... What did you just say? β
Chibazi pouted when she saw Qiqiao, and it seemed that the "honeymoon period" of the two had passed: "I'm going to marry the eldest brother, and you are not allowed to bully Chibazi in the future, otherwise I will tell the eldest brother!" β
Wu Zhi covered his forehead and walked towards the courtyard, Qiqiao was stunned for a moment, and followed closely behind Wu Zhi: "Xianggong, you want to marry Chibazi, Qiqiao has no objection, but...... But now Chibako is too small, so let's wait a few years...... Messire...... Xianggong, don't go......"
Seeing that Wu Zhi ignored him, Qiqiao was so angry that he stomped his feet and turned around and pulled up Chibazi's pigtails: "Go, you go with me!" Chibazi grinned and was pulled into the Cuiyun Pavilion by Qiqiao.
Jin Lian and the girls were sitting there talking and laughing, and when they saw Qiqiao bullying Qianye again, Jin Lian and Xuan Jing began to count Qiqiao, and Zhu'er didn't dare to say Qiqiao, but they also felt distressed and hugged Qianyezi in their arms and asked for warmth.
Qiqiao sat down angrily, picked up the tea, drank a few sips, pointed to Chibazi and said, "You can spoil her!" It's all lawless! β
Seeing that Qiqiao seemed to be really angry this time, Jin Lian hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" β
Xuan Jing said with a smile: "Can Chiba Zi be angry to Qiqiao? It's a strange story. β
Qiqiao snorted: "Our father-in-law wants to marry her!" β
The girls were stunned for a moment, but they couldn't help laughing, Jin Lian smiled: "Doesn't my sister often say that Chiba will have to pass through the door in a few years?" My sister didn't believe it before, how could she be so angry when her sister guessed it? β
Qiqiao said helplessly: "But...... But Xianggong wants to marry her now! β
"Huh?" The women exclaimed in unison, and then laughed in unison.
Jin Lian smiled and shook her head: "What did my father-in-law tell you personally?" β
Before Qiqiao could speak, Chibazi said loudly: "It was the eldest brother who said it himself, and the eldest brother said that he wanted to marry me!" As he spoke, he gestured his little fist at the tangram.
The girls were really stunned at this time, and Chiba Zi turned her head to Zhu'er and said, "Sister Zhu'er, big brother hugged Chiba Zi just now, and he must have been tired all the way......"
Zhu'er hurriedly got up and said, "Madame, Zhu'er is going to be tired for the master!" β
Jin Lian nodded, and Zhu'er hurriedly walked out.
Xuan Jing looked at Chibazi and said with a smile: "The child knows a lot!" β
Jin Lian smiled and beckoned, "Chibazi come over and ask your sister!" β
Jin Lian and Xuan Jing, the three girls of Qiqiao interrogated, Jin Lian and Xuan Jing asked, Chiba Zi replied honestly, and after a while, he figured out the ins and outs of the matter, and Qiqiao stuck out his tongue embarrassedly: "Who knows?" I heard Xianggong say that there are many men in this dynasty who like Tong Ji, and also said that Tong Ji has Tong Ji's wonders, and I think Xiang Gong also likes it. β
When Qiqiao talked about Tong Ji, Xuan Jing hurriedly covered Chibazi's ears and said to Qiqiao: "I will talk nonsense all day long." β
Qiqiao grinned: "Xianggong said this, but it was not arranged by Qiqiao. "Qiqiao is the most naΓ―ve, and Wu Zhi also likes to talk nonsense with her to help the bed.
"Hee hee Chiba Zi is in such a hurry to pass the door, why don't you let me hold her and sleep in the future!" Qiqiao looked Chiba up and down with bad intentions.
Chibazi was so frightened that she shook her head again and again and hid in Xuan Jing's arms, and her pitiful little appearance made Jin Lian and Xuan Jing amused, and they all laughed and asked Qiqiao not to scare her again.
