Ajiu

Chapter 40
Uncle, what do you do for work, with such a wide range of knowledge?So much knowledge?Ajiu looked at Lin Yan with a smile, her eyes were eager and focused.

I like learned people the most, knowledge is power.

A slight smile appeared on Lin Yan's lips, "Uncle works in Honglu Temple, and is in charge of the guests. The responsibilities within his duties are congratulations, banquets, gifts, and welcomes."

"Handling guests" and "Siyi Chaohe" turned out to be a diplomat!Ajiu's eyes lit up, and she arched her hands enthusiastically, "Disrespect, disrespect." Diplomats always remind people of personable demeanor and courteous conversation, which are always associated with such beautiful words as sharp, keen, steady and decisive. together.

If you want to represent a country to the outside world, you have to be excellent.

Ajiu moved to Lin Yan's side, and smiled flatteringly, "Uncle, what is your position in Honglu Temple?" Tell me, so that I can know what level of diplomat you are. .

Lin Yan bowed slightly, and said modestly: "My servant, Shaoqing Zuo of Honglu Temple."

Ajiu widened her eyes.

Her eyes were beautiful almond-shaped eyes, which were already big and round, but when she was surprised and stared at her, they looked even bigger and better looking.Lin Yan was heartbroken, and explained with a smile, "Honghe Temple is a fourth-rank yamen, and its rank is not considered high. The chief minister of Honghe Temple is in charge of court meetings, guests, good and bad etiquette, and the left and right Shaoqing are the second. "

Your position is considered to be Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, right?Ah Jiu looked at Uncle Lin Yan with adoring eyes, full of admiration.

Seeing how cute she was, Lin Yan couldn't help reaching out and pinching her little cheek, "Ajiu, uncle likes you."

You and my mother are really brothers and sisters, she is always like this!Ajiu smiled happily.

Bloodlines are a wonderful thing.

"When you receive guests from all over the world, do you speak their language? I heard it's bird language?" Ajiu asked attentively.

Lin Yan smiled and shook her head, "Uncle doesn't know Yi language. Ajiu, there is a Siyi hall in Taichang Temple. There are translation students and Tongshi in the hall. Documents from Mongolia, Nvzhi, Xifan, Xitian and other places are all Translated by them."

Ah Jiu was a little dizzy.Lin Yan knew that she was young, so she explained patiently without any sign of boredom.It took a long time for Ah Jiu to understand: there is no full-time diplomatic department in this era, and the division of responsibilities in this era is somewhat confusing.

"Uncle, you know everything." Ajiu leaned against the uncle and giggled, smiling very flatteringly.

Pei Qi and Pei Yu kept watching with a smile on the side, and Pei Qi couldn't help but said, "Of course uncle knows everything, he's learned!" Pei Yu excitedly nodded in agreement, "Yes, uncle is the number one scholar in Jiazi Division!"

National No.1!Ah Jiu looked at the eldest uncle even more enthusiastically.

No wonder the eldest uncle didn't take it seriously when he brought up the champion last night. He dared to admit that he had won it, so he didn't take it seriously!Uncle Xueba, Uncle Handsome Man, Ah Jiu wanted to drool.

"I only found out last night. I haven't heard my mother talk about it before." Pei Yu said with some regret.The eldest uncle is so arrogant, why didn't mother tell us before.

Pei Qi was young and mature, not as innocent as his younger brother, so he stretched out his elbow and gently bumped Pei Zhen.Ah Yuan, the eldest uncle may misunderstand that mother doesn't pay attention to him or care about him, it's not good.

Pei Yu's face was ignorant and ignorant, she didn't know what her brother's intentions were when she suddenly harassed her.

Ajiu smiled sweetly at Lin Yan, "Uncle, my mother doesn't like to brag."

Her elder brother won the first prize, but she never mentioned it to her children.It's not because of anything else, she has never liked bragging.

She smiled sweetly, showing a mouthful of cute little white teeth, her expression was full of flattery, and maybe she also showed some guilt and guilt.

The corners of Lin Yan's lips curled up in a nice look, and there was even a smile in his eyes.

Along the way, Lin Yan talked happily with his nephew and niece.

Ajiu complained that the carriage was slower and more uncomfortable than the boat. Lin Yan told her gently, "The canal in the Northern Yuan Dynasty went all the way to the Jishuitan. However, the canal has been abandoned for a long time and cannot be used anymore."

It will be much more convenient if you can go to Jishuitan unimpeded without going ashore from Tongzhou.

"When we grow up, we need to repair the river course so that the canal can reach the Jishuitan again!" Pei Qi and Pei Yu discussed it together for a while, and solemnly announced.

The eldest uncle smiled and praised, "A Qi, Ah Yuan, you have ambition!"

Ah Jiu smiled and turned into a flower.The old saying is really true, the dragon begets the dragon, the phoenix begets the phoenix, the third brother, the sixth brother, you two are really the grandsons of your grandfather, ordinary people will be moved when they hear this, but you two are gearing up and want to show off Big picture!

Having an uncle to take care of the children makes parents feel comfortable.Second Master Pei squeezed into Lin Youhui's carriage, and Lin Youhui wanted to push him out, "This is the carriage I used when I was a girl, I want to ride alone to relive my girlhood." Second Master Pei refused to leave, "Miss Lin is alone , wouldn’t you let down this great spring? Please allow me to accompany you.” Lin Youhui saw that he was cheating, so he let him.

The carriage is covered with elegant blankets, which are thick, soft and comfortable.The two depended on each other and embraced each other tenderly.

"It's almost home, do you have the feeling of 'being closer to the nostalgia'?" Second Master Pei teased.

"No way! I have two lovely sons, and a precious little Ajiu. How can such impressive achievements need to be timid?" Lin Youhui snorted.

Song Zhi asked him if he had been exiled and fled back, so he was "more timid to be close to the hometown, and dare not ask people who came." I am not the same as him.I, although I can't be called home in fine clothes, I will bring my husband and son-in-law, children and grandchildren, and the mighty family will return together, full of momentum.

Second Master Pei made a dejected expression, "It turns out that he has sons and daughters, so he is full of confidence."

As for the husband, the husband is not worth mentioning, is he?

Lin Youhui smiled, "I gave birth to my children, so I want to show off deliberately. My husband-in-law is handsome and talented, and he is considerate of his wife and caring for his children, which is more worthy of showing off. However, my husband was chosen by my parents, not To my credit."

She looked at him charmingly, her expression was gentle and mischievous, her beautiful almond eyes were full of tenderness and tenderness, Second Master Pei was fascinated by her look, and he was fascinated.

"Although you didn't choose your husband, you transferred and taught him. How can it not be a credit?" Second Master Pei chuckled, "My lady, if you weren't so beautiful and intelligent, how could I be consistent?"

I am not married to any woman who will be so gentle and considerate. If my wife is not virtuous, I will probably escape from the inner house and hide in the study, trying to be clean and at ease.

The two looked at each other with a lot of tenderness.

"Sister-in-law, I don't want to leave you, and I don't want to leave you at any time." Lin Youhui said softly and firmly: "If you let go, no matter if the place is remote or cold and wild, I will follow you." Let's go to office together. Mr. Xiang, I don't want to be like my second sister-in-law."

Lin Youhui's second elder brother, Lin Ti, served as an acquaintance in the northwest. Lin Ti's wife, the Wu family, had only one son, Lin Shaohua.

The Lin family rarely took concubines, and few of their children were concubines, but there were exceptions.Like Lin Ti, who goes out to be an official's wife and can't accompany him, and he is not willing to guard the vacant house for three to five years, and he has to accept someone in the house.If a concubine was accidentally born, there would be an extra aunt in Wu's house.

Lin Youhui didn't want to do this.

She would rather work hard than have an extra woman beside her husband, and don't want her beloved children to have more concubine brothers and sisters.

"Okay, let's not separate, and we will never be separated for the rest of our lives." Second Master Pei was moved and held his wife's slender palm tightly.

When the carriage arrived at Fucheng Gate, Pei Qi and Pei Rong opened the curtain and looked out curiously.It's about to enter the city, this is the foot of the emperor, I heard that it is very prosperous and lively, shoulders rubbing against each other, and pedestrians are like clouds.

"Big Brother, Second Brother!" The two brothers shouted together in surprise.

At the gate of the city, their eldest brother Pei Wei and second brother Pei Jue were standing side by side, looking over here frequently. "Big Brother and Second Brother picked us up!" The two younger brothers looked at each other excitedly, and then opened their arms to hug each other, overjoyed.

It has been three full years since we separated, and the brothers miss each other very much.

Ah Jiu was leaning against the uncle and chatting, but now she got up suddenly, "Where is it, where is it?" Pei Qi smiled and pulled her over, pointing to her, "Hey, the one in the blue shirt Two, the taller one is the eldest brother, and the one next to him is the second brother."

Lin Yan smiled and looked at the jumping children with gentle eyes.

Second Master Pei also saw the two nephews, and smiled and told his wife, "Ma'am, A Wei and A Jue are here to pick us up." The elder brother Pei Yin's three-year concubine is about to expire, and now he is busy with the assessment, so, Two sons were sent to pick up the second uncle, second aunt, younger siblings.

Second Master Pei got out of the carriage and met his two nephews, he was very moved.Pei Wei was already sixteen or seventeen years old, compared to when he left Suzhou, he was taller, thinner and more elegant.Pei Jue was almost fifteen, and his voice changed, like a young man.

Pei Qi and Pei Yu jumped out of the carriage, "Big brother, second brother!" Ajiu was also carried down by Lin Yan, and she warmly opened her arms to the two cousins, "Big brother, second brother, I am Ajiu!"

Pei Wei and Pei Jue first pulled the two cousins ​​to make out, "Well, they are so tall and handsome!" Seeing little Ajiu, they smiled even more, "When my brother left Suzhou, my sister was still It's full of 'of', and now it speaks clearly, it's really nice!"

Ajiu made a grimace at them, and said crisply: "Don't talk about the success, don't complain about the success, let the past go!"

Forget about the past!
Everyone laughed.

Lin Yan couldn't help but asked Second Master Pei in a low voice, "Brother-in-law, has Ajiu even read the Analects of Confucius?" She is so smart at such a young age.

Second Master Pei smiled, "You don't know, brother-in-law, Ajiu is being mischievous! When her brothers are studying, she often sits on a small stool and listens. After listening for a while, she can learn three times from the books the brothers memorize." Sentence or sentence, never go wrong!"

He said that his daughter was "naughty", but his expression was full of showing off and praise.

Lin Yan was surprised and liked at the same time, "Yesterday I thought Ah Jiu was as smart as my younger sister, but now it seems that she is smarter than my younger sister."

Second Master Pei hurriedly looked back and forth, and said to Lin Yan in a low voice: "Brother, don't let the lady know about this. The lady is the most childish, sometimes even jealous of her children, don't make her unhappy."

Lin Yan nodded calmly and agreed, "I will follow my brother-in-law."

When everyone boarded the car again, Lin Yanfang leaned on the carriage and laughed muffledly, tears streaming down his face.
