42. Nineteenth birthday

In the last few days of Feng Baobao's stay in the Western Capital, he successively inspected Hui'an, Runing, Juyong, Pingchuan and other places, and saw all the victims with his own eyes and received proper resettlement before he relieved himself and set off for Beijing.

And the day before returning to Beijing, it was also the nineteenth birthday of the lord of Baohua.

Although there was no big deal, Chaoqin still had a table of dishes, and Taifu Xie, Zongquan, and Taishou of Cangjun all came.

"Recently, I have worked hard for everyone, this glass of wine, the lord of this county is for the people of the five counties of the Western Capital, respect everyone."

Feng Baobao raised his wine glass, smiled three points and looked at everyone present with seven points of respect.

Mrs. Xie nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "The Lu of the Eater, the matter of loyalty to the Monarch." These are the duties of subordinates, and they don't feel hard. ”

Compared with the hard work of running around day after day, it is still the growth of the county lord of Baohua, which makes Mrs. Xie feel more gratified.

Zong Quan also poured a glass of full wine, straightened his shoulders and back, and said with a serious face towards the county lord of Baohua: "This first cup of wine, Weichen respects the county lord, and works tirelessly for the people of the Western Capital." The disaster was able to be calmed down so much, and the county lord contributed a lot. ”

At first, he was skeptical that the emperor agreed to Feng Baobao to accompany him to the Western Capital. Unexpectedly, when Feng Baobao arrived in the Western Capital, he neither pampered nor eat, drank and had fun, but assisted and helped a lot of things.

What surprised him the most was that Feng Baobao not only practiced and personally went to the resettlement area to take care of the people, but also put forward many good suggestions for the reconstruction of the river.

In short, whether it is money or brains, Feng Baobao has played a vital role this time.

"Lord Zong's false praise, the flood in the five counties of the Western Capital can be calmed down so quickly, it is the credit of everyone, and the county lord is just doing a little bit."

She just did what she could, and she couldn't compare to them, guarding the river day and night, and she didn't have time to repair her beard, let alone sleep.

"This glass of wine should be respected, and the county lord should not refuse."

As soon as Feng Baobao finished speaking, Zong Quan looked at her righteously, and his voice was full of emotion, so that Feng Baobao couldn't refuse again.

"The second glass of wine, Weichen respects the county lord, his birthday is healthy, and he is happy and unharmed." After speaking, Zong Quan raised his head and drank the second glass of wine.

Xu was driven by emotions, Feng Baobao involuntarily straightened his waist, returned a glass of wine straight and upright, and said: "My lord's mind, the lord of this county has taken it." ”

Zong Quan was the first foreign minister she saw when she came to this world, except for Chaoqin and Dusk Chu. And this birthday is also the first birthday she has ever had when she came to this world.

Maybe that's fate.

After Zong Quan finished toasting, Cangjun Taishou and Xie Taifu saluted again, and everyone began to send birthday gifts.

Zong Quan ordered someone to present a gilded brocade box engraved with Sanskrit mahogany, Feng Baobao opened it, and inside was a box full of white pearls.

"This is the pearl produced in the mussel bred by the water of the Ganges, which happens to be a hundred, which is not precious, but it is just an auspicious picture, and I hope the county lord will smile."

No matter how busy Master Zong is, the emperor's personal attendants came to Cangjun, who he met and what will he conveyed, he must know.

It's just that time is in a hurry, and he doesn't have time to prepare other expensive gifts, so he has to think of this method.

Mrs. Xie sighed with his palms: "A hundred pearls, the pearls are shining, which means a long life and a good year." Master Zong's ingenuity! ”

Otherwise, Lord Zong Quan was young and promising, only thirty years old, and he sat firmly in the position of the commander of the Great Wei Tiger and Leopard Battalion, and won the favor of His Majesty the Emperor.

“..... What a sign! Master Zong, you really have a heart! Mrs. Xie kept nodding, praising and praising Zong Quan, and smiling from ear to ear, as if he was the one who was wished a long life.

Feng Baobao's eyebrows were clear, he took out one of the pearls, put it in the sun, and looked at it carefully, although the luster was not bright, but in the Western Capital, a place that had just been ravaged by floods, it was not easy for Zong Quan to find a hundred pearls of such a neat size.

The more Feng Baobao looked at it, the more he liked it, looking at the box full of pearls, and secretly guessed in his heart, how many river mussels had to be opened in order to find a hundred pearls of the same size and full of color.

"Thank you, Lord Zong, this gift is very fond of this gift." Feng Baobao bowed slightly and returned the salute, smiling softly.

"If the county lord likes it, it's fine." Zong Quan finally laughed for a moment, no longer with a serious face.

The Cangjun Taishou on the opposite side also presented a brocade box, which was a string of sandalwood beads.

"I heard that the county lord worships the Buddha, this sandalwood bead is Wei Chen many years ago, met a monk outside the world, it is said to be able to dispel difficulties and ward off evil spirits, today it is a special gift to the county lord, pray that the county lord is in good health, and live well."

Cangjun Taishou is a person who worships the Buddha, as early as the first time Feng Baobao saw him, he saw that he carried a string of Bodhi seeds in his left hand, the color was moist and smooth, and it must be a perennial wear and grinding luster.

Feng Baobao waved his hand lightly and said, "This gift is too valuable, and this county lord can't accept it." "Such a good sandalwood bead must be the favorite of Cangjun Taishou for many years, how can she win people's love.

"The county lord has been working hard for the people of my western capital these days, and Weichen has nothing to repay, so he can only remember the five inner feelings, pray to the Buddha every day, and give the county lord immeasurable blessings. This sandalwood bead, I hope the county lord will never postpone it. ”

Feng Baobao hesitated, she looked at Mrs. Xie, and saw Mrs. Xie nodding at her, and she was relieved of her subordinates.

"That being the case, the lord of this county is deeply grateful to Pei Taishou for his intentions. When the lord of this county goes to Qinglong Temple in the future, he will also pray for Pei Taishou and the people of the Western Capital, and pray for the people of the Western Capital, the Great Wei Jiangshan, the country and the people, and the wind and rain. ”

Feng Baobao and Pei Taishou bowed to each other.

Next is Mrs. Xie, a set of calligraphy that he copied, and a piece of peerless ink, Qingshan ink.

"The old man has read the handwriting of the county lord, so he still needs to practice more. This piece of green mountain ink, but a rare thing, after the old man got it, he was reluctant to use it, and specially kept it for the county lord, who did not often complain in the past, and the ordinary ink was difficult to push away, and it was easy to dry up. This green mountain ink ......"

Mrs. Xie said a long list of words, and Feng Baobao's afterglow looked at Xiling Lang over there and smiled, and he had already endured it very hard.

Is she missing Qingshan Mo? What she lacks is a hand that won't shake when she holds a pen, okay!

saved her life, who knew that she was obviously nineteen years old, and she had to be chased by her teacher when she was a child to urge her to practice calligraphy.

Alas.....

"Baohua thanks Taifu, Taifu's heart, this county lord will never waste it, this piece of green mountain ink. The lord of this county must make good use of it and will never be idle. ”

Mrs. Xie was satisfied, and said with a smile: "If the copybook is finished, I will send someone to send some to the county lord's mansion at that time, and the county lord doesn't have to worry." ”

Feng Baobao had a big eye in his heart, but he didn't have to !!

Finally, this little birthday banquet ended, and Mrs. Xie was overwhelmed by alcohol, so he was helped out by Zong Quan and Pei Taishou.

Feng Baobao finally had time, went to care about the people who laughed so much that he couldn't straighten his waist, and said coldly: "Is enough laughing?" If you don't laugh enough, go out and laugh, and don't get in the way of the county lord's eyes here. ”

"Hahahaha!!" It's okay not to say it, but when he says it, he laughs even more wildly.

Feng Baobao couldn't be angry, stretched out his leg and gave him a kick, and scolded: "I don't know how to prepare the birthday gift, and I keep smiling, don't laugh!" ”

It's really annoying!!

"Twilight Chu has cleaned up here, and the county will mainly go back to pack his luggage and return to Beijing early tomorrow morning."

"Yes, County Lord." Twilight Chu received the order, and hurriedly called someone to come in and clean up, running fast, the matter between the masters, she was a little maid, and she didn't want to get involved.

When he woke up the next day, Feng Baobao woke up from his dream, turned over and touched a long and thin thing, which should be a metallic hairpin.

Feng Baobao opened his eyes, and it was indeed a golden hosta, but it was not a common flower and bird pattern, like water ripples and mountains and rivers, in short, it was very rare.

She flicked it lightly, pure gold, not bad.

"What kind of good dream did the county lord have yesterday, and the corners of his mouth have been smiling today." Twilight quipped as she groomed her.

"Really?"

"No, the county lord laughed for a long time in the morning."

Twilight Chu is also in a good mood today, it is the first time she has seen Feng Baobao smile so easily after coming to the Western Capital for so many days.

Feng Baobao pursed his lips and smiled, handed the golden hosta to Du Chu, and said in a brisk tone: "Today's hairpin is a new one." ”

Du Chu put down the exquisite phoenix hairpin in his hand, reached out to take the new hairpin in Feng Baobao's hand, and looked at it carefully, it turned out that the county lord had laughed all morning because of this hairpin.

"The carving of this golden hairpin is really unique and very unusual." No wonder so beloved.

Twilight Chu looked back and forth several times, "County Lord, have we seen the carvings on this golden hairpin in the palace before?" ”

Feng Baobao raised his eyes to look at Du Chu, a little surprised: "What did you say?" ”

Twilight Chu frowned and muttered for a moment, thinking about it seriously, this golden hosta is definitely not a thing in the Great Wei Palace, which is almost certain for Twilight, who grew up in the palace since childhood.

"The slave maid thinks that this kind of carving is not from our Great Wei Palace, but the slave maid seems to have seen it once in the palace, but she can't remember it all of a sudden."

Twilight scratched her head, she really couldn't remember. When you're desperately trying to remember something, the more you can't remember it.

Feng Baobao combed a startling bun today, with this golden hairpin, the brilliance is shining and complementing each other.

"Our little county lord is also the best looking today."

Du Chu inserted the last bead hairpin into Feng Baobao's sideburns, and was satisfying to finish, but Feng Baobao's face changed suddenly, and his face was gloomy and he pulled out the golden hairpin hard.

Twilight was puzzled: "County Lord, I just plugged it in, how did you take it?" ”

She still wanted to ask something carefully, but seeing Feng Baobao's frowning brows, she was afraid that she couldn't ask anything, so she hurriedly silenced herself and didn't dare to say anything more.

Feng Baobao twisted the golden hairpin between his fingers, looked at it again and again, as if he was looking at a forbidden item, his eyes were dark and dark, and a chill was exuding from his whole body.

Twilight Chu said that she couldn't remember where she had seen this kind of carving, but Feng Baobao remembered.

When she was on the bridge, she saw this golden hairpin, pinned in the hair of the lord of Baohua, as one of the burial items.

It turned out that this golden hairpin was given to the lord of Baohua by Xilinglang, and the engraving on the golden hairpin was not from the Great Wei, but ......

Feng Baobao was poured from head to tail by a basin of cold water, and the cold was born from the heart and could not be contained.

Seeing that she was motionless as she watched the golden hairpin, she took it upon herself to take a slightly similar golden hairpin from the jewelry box and replace it.

"Slave maid go see breakfast, okay?" After speaking, he retreated, not daring to look at Feng Baobao's expression again.
