Chapter Twenty-Five: The Gossip Girl He Si II
"Sister, come out. The guests who came were Mrs. Pei and Wang Fei, who were the guardians of the royal capital. Outside the door, her sister Ashina Wenxia's concise words came from behind, which immediately made Ashina's troubles disappear.
It turned out that Wang Fei was here, not those annoying ladies, life is still a little fun!
Ashina Xiaoyun hurriedly put on the red deer boots, rushed to the door with interest, and opened the door suddenly, so frightened that Ashina Jiang and the maids and maids standing at the door were stunned.
Ashina Xiaoyun knocked his younger brother's head fiercely: "You already said that Wang Fei was here, isn't it!" A sucker! ”
"Actually......" Before Ashina Jiang could explain, he was pushed aside by Ashina Xiaoyun.
"You have to learn more from Wang Fei in the future, don't be so stupid all day long!" Ashina Xiaoyun didn't give his younger brother a chance to distinguish at all, so he hurriedly ran towards his mother's courtyard, and didn't hear Ashina Wenxia say in a low voice: "Actually, I lied to you......"
"Scarlet, you're here!" Ashina Xiaoyun shouted happily as he opened the door.
"Xiaoyun, don't hurry up and meet Mrs. Pei, don't be rude!" The mother was very dissatisfied with Ashina's shouting.
Ashina Xiaoyun looked up into the front hall, only to see his mother and Mrs. Pei kneeling on the couch and chatting happily, but there was no trace of Wang Fei.
At this time, Ashina Xiaoyun knew that he had been deceived by his sister again. This sister has not spoken much since she was a child, and she cherishes words like gold, but she is very good at deceiving people.
But the problem is that every time she tells a lie, it is always half-truth, and it is very difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood. Ashina Xiaoyun has long remembered how many times she has been deceived by her, but today she was careless, but she still caught the way.
But if you think about it carefully, you are still negligent, every time Fei'er comes to her house, she is either alone, or with Mrs. Zhang, she has never come alone with Mrs. Pei. I said that my brother was a fool and made trouble for a long time, but in fact, he was an out-and-out big fool!
"Meet Mrs. Pei!" Ashina Xiaoyun hurriedly stepped forward and bowed his hand and bowed.
"Xiaoyun is really standing out more and more. Pretty! Our family's scarlet is really getting worse and worse! Mrs. Pei took Ashina's arm and said with a smile: "I was busy for the first two days, and I haven't been able to take care of coming to the door. Today is a little leisure, and it happened that the Pei family's caravan came back from Chang'an a few days ago, so I picked a few small things to congratulate the little county gentleman! ”
Ashina Xiaoyun was ashamed and ashamed, and didn't know how to answer. The mother nodded slightly, asked her to kneel down, and then said to Mrs. Pei with a smile: "Sister is always so polite!" Xiaoyun was young, but it was the blessing of the great victory of the Tuodu Protector to fight against the Tuqi Shi that he received this reward. I should have come to thank me, but now I let my sister go first, it's really rude! ”
"Xiaoyun, this child grew up with Scarlet Child, in my eyes, he is closer than Scarlet! Xiaoyun is favored by the saints, it is because Ashina has won the sacred heart, and it is also because the younger sister was born in the clan and has a noble status, which is not comparable to the poor Puliu like the sister. This has nothing to do with Duhu, so naturally I should have come to congratulate him! ”
Mrs. Pei's words are very humble, but Ashina Xiaoyun knows that although the Pei family in Hedong is slightly inferior to the five surnames of Longxi Li, Zhaojun Li, Boling Cui, Qinghe Cui, Fanyang Lu, Xingyang Zheng, and Taiyuan Wang, they are definitely the top wealthy families in the Tang Dynasty.
Moreover, the Pei family in Hedong has a heavier heart for entering the WTO, and attaches great importance to cultivating excellent children. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the Pei family has been in and out of the political hall and the prime minister is innumerable. As the daughter of the Pei family, Mrs. Pei can only listen to the words of "Pu Liu", who is humble as a "poor man", and must not be taken seriously.
On the contrary, it is his mother, although she was born in a royal clan, but after all, she is far away from the blood of the saint, and she is only a distant relative of the Son of Heaven.
This is also the reason why Mrs. Pei was able to marry into the long house of the Taiyuan Wang family, while her mother married a descendant of the Western Turks in the form of a semi-harmonious family.
"In any case, I am deeply grateful to my sister for her kindness, and he will come to thank you one day!" For Mrs. Pei's hospitality, her mother reciprocated with Qiong Yao: "I heard that Ju'er has also sealed the Zhengqipin Xuande Lang, and he will definitely go straight to the sky one day!" ”
Ashina Xiaoyun, who was sitting on the side and paying attention to the conversation between Mrs. Pei and her mother, found that when her mother mentioned the matter of Wang Qi's door, Mrs. Pei's face was not very happy. Thinking about it, from Mrs. Pei's vision, this Xuandelang is really nothing.
Sure enough, I saw Mrs. Pei's face slightly gloomy: "A sesame-sized literary and prose official is really nothing." Besides, in today's world, the imperial examination is particularly important, and I still hope that Ju'er will study hard for a few years and take the Jinshi and first exams. ”
Ashina Xiaoyun has seen Wang Qi a few times, but because he is three or four years old at the wrong age, he is not impressed. I only remember that Wang Jue always stood proudly behind Mrs. Pei, with a posture of rejecting people thousands of miles away.
"My sister is really hard for Qi'er! My sister is ashamed, she is shallow in her morality, and she is really not as dedicated as her sister in the affairs of her children. Xiaoyun is a wild horse, running around, not like a little lady at all! Ji Ang is demented and demented, a mess of childishness, I doubt whether I can read the sage books in the future! Wenxia is a little smart, but she is gloomy all day long and unlikeable. I really envy my sister! ”
The mother tried her best to pick up nice words to say, even at the expense of self-deprecation. However, Ashina Xiaoyun chewed on her mother's comments on the three sisters and brothers, but it was also vivid and vivid.
As for himself, he is really like a little wild horse on the grassland, and his favorite thing is to be unrestrained and free; Brother Ji Ang is a little stupid, he does things with a straight eye, he doesn't like to be flexible, and he loves things made by craftsmen, unlike people who read; Sister Wenxia's sister does have more thoughts than herself, and she actually lowers her head and thinks about it every day, so she is not so lively.
My sister laughed! Regardless of anything else, Xiaoyun alone can compare to Qi'er. What's more, Xiaoyun is already in the emperor's heart, and the glorious lintel is just around the corner! It's just that I don't know who will have such blessings in the future and be able to be our little county king! Mrs. Pei's words made Ashina's face brighten, and he didn't dare to raise his head again.
When Ashina Xiaoyun was shy and unbearable, he didn't notice that his mother hesitated for a moment about Mrs. Pei's words, and then slowly replied: "Xiaoyun is still young, and he is just a child in a certain eye. Suddenly, he had to be crowned a county king, and he didn't expect it. As for the things to come, there are saints and Langjun below, and it is not something that can be placed. ”
"I just sighed casually, sister, don't be careful! It's not too early, it's time to say goodbye! Mrs. Pei didn't seem to have any intention of being angry.
Ashina, whose face was flushed, was pulled by his mother for a while, and then he quickly got up and went out with his mother to see Mrs. Pei.
After bidding farewell to Mrs. Pei, Ashina Xiaoyun took advantage of her mother's inattention, and tiptoed to prepare to sneak back to her courtyard quietly.
She was deceived by Ashina Wenxia, and she thought she would be able to play with Wang Fei for a while, but she was forced to accompany her mother to listen to Mrs. Pei's nagging words that made people blush, which was really ashamed!
Whoever comes to the door after that, I will never come out to meet a guest! Ashina Xiaoyun secretly made up his mind in his heart!
Unexpectedly, as soon as Ashina Xiaoyun raised his foot, he was grabbed by his mother's arm: "Mrs. Song of the Gao Changshi family will come to visit in a while, and she also indicates that she wants to see you." ”
"Mother, spare me! Xiao Langjun of the tall historian has such a wide face and a fat body, and he has difficulty even getting on and off the horse, and the polo is not as good as me. If you kill such a person, you won't marry me! ”
Ashina Xiaoyun can't bear it anymore! The gossip has been going on for a long time, and even the tall fat man's family has to fight his own idea! Bah! Don't look in the mirror first!
Ashina's unscrupulous fairy words made Mrs. Li couldn't help but laugh out loud, and the maids and maids around her also secretly covered their mouths and laughed.
"That's it, that's it! It's not difficult for our little wild horses, these messy things, let's deal with them someday! Go back and rest. Mrs. Li turned to the surrounding maids and said, "I don't want to hear the joke that Fang Cai Xiaoyun said, and be rumored to be out of this house!" Otherwise, be careful to tear your mouths! Jinxiu, you find two people to send the gifts brought by Mrs. Pei to Xiaoyun's room. ”
After Ashina Xiaoyun received his mother's amnesty, he stuck out his tongue happily and went back happily.
After her figure disappeared, Mrs. Li looked in the direction of Chang'an and sighed silently: "Lang Jun, Lang Jun, what do you want!" Xiaoyun's lifelong happiness, don't you really care? ”
After Ashina Xiaoyun jumped back into the room, he commanded Jinxiu and a few little maids to put Mrs. Pei's gift away.
Mrs. Pei gave two wooden boxes, one large and one small, each of which was engraved with the words "Hedong Wenxitang". Ashina Xiaoyun knew that this was a big shop opened by the Pei family in Hedong, and it had store numbers in Chang'an, Hedong and other places.
Since the royal capital came to Beiting, Hedong Wenxitang also followed in the footsteps of Mrs. Pei and began to add stores in Hexi, Longyou, and Beiting, and now it is one of the most well-known shops in Tingzhou City.
Ashina Xiaoyun first opened the small box, which was full of various jewelry and utensils.
What made her eyes shine was five bronze mirrors of various colors and sizes, one of which was a luodian mirror of flowers and birds, which was particularly exquisitely crafted.
In addition to the bronze mirrors, there are also ten gold walking wheels of various kinds, eight gold wrist wheels inlaid with various colored gemstones, and some scattered gold and silver jewelry.
Ashina Xiaoyun gasped, he didn't expect the gift from Mrs. Pei to be so heavy! Could it be that Mrs. Pei really wants to marry Wang Jue?
With such a question, Ashina Xiaoyun opened the big box. As soon as it was opened, Ashina Xiaoyun cried out in shock.
Inside the big box is a full set of sterling silver saddle sheaths that match the size of Bai Lianju, which is gorgeous and abnormal!
Next to the saddle, there are more than a dozen finely crafted special polo sticks, and Ashina Xiaoyun took it in her hand and waved it, which is just right for her current height!
Ashina Xiaoyun was so happy, this gift is really appetizing! If you have a chance, you have to hurry up and find Wang Fei to play polo!
Also, that Wang Fei has a little red horse, and his skills have improved a lot, so he should be able to play polo with him. Ashina Xiaoyun vaguely felt that after returning from the broken leaves, Wang Fei's enthusiasm for playing with him far exceeded that of playing with Ji Ang......
On the street in the inner city of Tingzhou, Mrs. Pei sat in the carriage, silently thinking about her thoughts. The housekeeper Wang Peizhong rode a horse and led a group of domestic servants and tooth soldiers to escort around the carriage.
Wang Peizhong and the servants closest to the carriage were all brought from her mother's house when Mrs. Pei left the cabinet, and they were Mrs. Pei's most trusted slaves.
"Lady, but are you still dissatisfied with the plan?" Wang Peizhong asked in a low voice through the curtain of the car.
"I just want to think that this Ashina Xiaoyun has noble blood, a face like a hibiscus, a beautiful temperament, and a lively and cheerful temperament, which is really likable. It would be excellent if she could really marry her. It's a pity, once he was named a county monarch, it is rare to be free in this life, and I don't blame Mrs. Li for refusing. It's ridiculous that those foolish women who don't think about it still want to pick up a cheap beauty. Mother, I really underestimated Ashinayang. ”
"Lady, the old slave only knows that the future is difficult to know, and things are man-made! If the lady is interested, we will slowly figure it out! "Wang Pei is loyal to Mrs. Pei.
"This matter is not in a hurry, I have thought about it repeatedly, the matter of sealing the county monarch may be just a step of Ashina Yang's idle chess, and what will happen after that, there are indeed many variables. It's just the matter at hand, and the pace must be accelerated. It's a pity that such a good opportunity outside Shattered Leaf City was wasted! ”
"It's all because of the servant's incompetence! Strange to say, I originally thought that under the surprise of the horse, the small wild seed was about to die, but unexpectedly came back to life, which is really unbelievable. Wang Peizhong was anxious to explain.
"The past cannot be admonished, but the coming can still be chased. I won't talk about the past. This time, Wen Xitang tried his best to create those gifts, not just to please the little girl! Mrs. Pei didn't care about Wang Peizhong's explanation at the moment.
The servant understood the lady's eagerness. Therefore, Wen Xitang began to create this set of gifts at the end of last year, but it happened that there was a matter of sealing the county monarch, but it was reasonable and there was no trace" Wang Peizhong calculated in a low voice: "At present, the manpower has already been in place, and the bait has been cast today, but the suitable place has not yet been found, and that Wang Yong is very in the way, and it is inconvenient to launch it for a while." ”
Mrs. Pei snorted lowly, and seemed to explain a few more words. But the noise of cars and horses on the street, and the whispers of the two were soon drowned out by the sound of cars and horses on the street.
Ashina Xiaoyun, who was impatiently changing the saddle for Bai Lianju, had no idea that he was about to be caught in a dark conspiracy whirlpool; And what made her even more carefree at the moment was that she didn't expect that her future destiny would be so tortuous and steep.
Many years later, when looking back on the wind and dust along the way, Ashina Xiaoyun suddenly realized that his life path began to become bumpy and difficult when he was 12 years old; And the person who ignited the brightest fire of his life also entered his heart at the age of 12......
