Ajiu

Chapter 63 Ah Jiu is Going to School
Not long after Pei Qi and Pei Yuan left school, Second Master Pei also came home.He bought sweet and soft sugar-fried chestnuts at the entrance of the alley, and the whole family sat around the stove peeling chestnuts and eating them happily.

Peeling the yellow, soft and fragrant chestnuts, Pei Qi and Pei Yu sent them to their parents first, and then said to little Ajiu, "Sister, this is delicious." Thank you brother, I ate very happily.

After eating the chestnuts, they got up and washed their hands. The maid cleaned the chestnut shells and brought tea.Ajiu stretched out her chubby hand, and pushed the teacup towards her brothers, "Third Brother, Sixth Brother, please drink tea." The little face was full of smiles, very attentive.

Pei Qi smiled, "Is there anything my sister needs third brother to help with?" Pei Yu guessed, "Sixth brother should buy idle books for you to read, or there are too many words I don't know, and sixth brother should teach you?" Ah Jiu, you This small picture looks like it needs someone to ask for it.

Pei Erye and his wife slowly sipped tea and looked at their children with smiles.I saw Ajiu approaching the brothers with a flattering smile, "I'm going to school next year. My school is not far from you. The third brother and the sixth brother often go to see me, okay? If I get into a fight with my classmates, three Brother Six rushed over to help me!"

Ah Jiu will be five years old next spring, and it's time to go to school.In fact, Ajiu thinks that she should go to elementary school at the age of six, but most of the little girls from relatives and friends go to school at the age of five. Erye Pei and Lin Youhui are worried that she will go to school a year later and be one year older than her classmates, so she will not be able to play. Together.Therefore, after discussing and discussing, Ah Jiu should go to school next year.

No, as soon as Ah Jiu heard that the matter of going to school was settled, she thought of the problem of children fighting with foresight, and she had to report to her brothers in advance, so that they would come to help if they had something to do.

"Little girl, can't you be gentle?" Hearing her childish words, Second Master Pei blamed with a smile.Ah Jiu, good girl, did you go to school, or did you go to fight?Why didn't I go to school for a day, so I thought of this.

Lin Youhui took Ajiu's little hand, and told her patiently, "When a little girl fights, you must not hurt your face. It's a big deal." The big men and little boys in the Pei family are dizzy. How did you teach Ajiu? of?

Pei Yu was a little embarrassed, "Sister, the sixth brother is a man, so he can't fight with the little girl." Pei Qi thought for a while, "When the younger sister goes to school, I will send the younger sister off with the sixth brother, the eldest brother, the second brother and the fourth brother. Come to the school, build up your momentum." Seeing that her sister has five older brothers, the little girls stood up in a long line, presumably they did not dare to bully their sister.

The corners of Pei Erye's mouth twitched, Lin Youhui smiled.

"Daddy will take a rest tomorrow, right? Take me to buy a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, I'm going to school." Ajiu asked with a smile.

There seemed to be a short little girl with two upturned braids on her hair, full of childishness, carrying a small schoolbag, singing in her mouth, "When the sun shines in the sky, the flowers smile at me, and the little bird says early morning, Why are you carrying a small schoolbag..." Ajiu looked up silly and smiled, overjoyed.

"Okay, take my little girl to buy pens, inks, papers and inkstones tomorrow." Second Master Pei agreed with a smile.My daughter is going to school, so it is really important to choose the four treasures of the study. The pen should be fine and sharp, the hair should be pure and durable, the ink should be black and lustrous, and the paper should not smudge, the paper should be white and thin, and the cotton should be firm and tight. Jade, grinding ink silently...

"Our little Ajiu, let's not talk about whether his knowledge is as good as that of his classmates. The pen, ink, paper and inkstone can't be inferior." Second Master Pei joked with his precious daughter.

Ah Jiu nodded seriously, "Yes, it doesn't matter whether you have real talents or not, you have to put on your appearance first! Dad, not only pens, ink, paper and inkstone, but also snacks between classes, you can't be worse than others!"

It's time to go to school, and I can't forget to eat... My parents and brothers wanted to laugh, but they were too embarrassed to laugh in front of Ajiu, and it was very hard to hold back.

After returning to the room at night, Second Master Pei buried his head in his wife's arms and laughed muffledly, "My lady, little Ajiu laughed so hard." Lin Youhui looked gentle, "Isn't it? She hasn't gone to school yet, she misses this and that, Very busy."

Second Master Pei smiled for a while, raised his head, and his face became serious, "Lady, I'll get my qualifications in the Imperial Academy for the past few years. When Ah Jiu is older, let's find a foreign job, okay?"

"Okay." Lin Youhui smiled, "You are now at the sixth rank. In a few years, even if you are not promoted to the fourth rank, you can still be promoted to the fifth rank. Whether it is Zhizhou or political participation, we will find In a place with beautiful mountains and green waters and simple folk customs, I will be a local official."

The couple looked at each other, and their hearts were connected.

Lin Youhui said in a low voice what Ajiu learned three poems today, "Master, our daughter understands even though she is young." Second Master Pei nodded with emotion, "Little Ajiu, you are so cute and sensible."

Ah Jiu, whom her parents said was well-behaved and sensible, became long-winded when it was time to go out. "Is it okay for me to change my hairstyle? Don't wear a bun, and braid a few small braids, okay?" "Don't wear a big red jacket anymore, but something elegant and clean." "Have you brought my little teacup? My little bowl Where are the chopsticks? We will definitely eat out, and I will use my own chopsticks."

Ajiu was like a small spinning top, ordering this, explaining that, busy all the time.

Second Master Pei picked her up and said with a smile, "I've brought them all, my daughter can rest assured." She was not allowed to talk any longer, and carried her into the carriage.

The elder brothers also smiled and helped Lin Youhui to the carriage.The carriage is very spacious, and the family of five can sit comfortably without being crowded.

Hanzi, Qianying and other maids followed behind in another black painted carriage.

The two carriages drove briskly out of the West Garden, crossed the Yinding Bridge, and went to Dingfu Street.Dingfu Street can be regarded as the most bustling and bustling street in the capital. There are many shops, and you can buy whatever you want.

Although it was to buy pens, inks, papers and inkstones for Ah Jiu, she had to go out so easily, how could she only buy these?There are many shops to raid.After visiting the shops, it is indispensable to choose a fancy restaurant to have a good meal every time you take Ajiu out, this is indispensable.

The family visited a lot of shops with great interest. First, they chose the beautiful and practical Four Treasures of the Study for Ah Jiu. Pei Qi also picked out two pieces of ink. My father reprimanded me, "playing with things and losing my ambition", he hesitated and dared not speak.Lin Youhui was as careful as a hair, seeing his youngest son staring at the beautiful paper in a daze, he pursed his lips and smiled, and told the store clerk, "Wrap it up." Pei Yu was overjoyed.

Seeing the joyful smile of his youngest son, Lin Youhui felt elated.

Ah Jiu went to the bookstore again and bought a lot of new travel notes, novels, and operas. "You can't understand." Pei Yu complained, "Sister, you are always looking at me, so I ran over to ask my brother to explain it to you." , often ask parents and brothers for help.

"I study hard and ask questions." Ajiu said confidently holding a few new books.

Pei Yuan was very helpless.

In addition to pens, inks, papers and inkstones, new books, rouge, rouge powder, fashionable clothing materials, beautiful jewelry, famous snacks, and cooked food, I bought them all one by one, and I didn't leave anything behind.After Ajiu had bought all these things, her parents and brothers felt tired and discussed finding a restaurant to rest and have lunch.

Ah Jiu's favorite restaurants include Yuhua Terrace, Deyue Tower, and Zhaixing Pavilion. Unfortunately, probably because today is a holiday, officials come out to have a lot of banquets, and every house is full, not only the private rooms, but even the lobby. seat.

Yuhua Terrace also has a branch in Ping An Lane a few streets away. Knowing that Ajiu likes Yuhua Terrace’s dishes, Second Master Pei proposed to go to Ping An Lane. After dinner, go to Ping'an Temple to see the plum blossoms, and then we will go home."

There is a Ping'an Temple in the depths of Ping'an Lane, which is quiet and elegant. There is a plum grove in the temple, and the scenery is very beautiful.

Ping'an Lane is far less prosperous than Dingfu Street, and there will not be a full seat there.

Ajiu coveted the dishes at Yuhua Terrace, and Lin Youhui thought that there was nothing wrong with his brothers when he went to Ping'an Temple to enjoy the plum blossoms. After discussing with the family of five, they got into the carriage and went straight to Ping'an Lane.

When we arrived at Yuhua Terrace in Ping'an Lane, there were indeed a lot fewer people here, and there were still private rooms available.Ajiu deftly flipped through the menu, "Is there any fresh mandarin fish? Steam one. The shrimp should be boiled, the meat should be charcoal grilled, and the Western Region wine that just arrived? Two bottles."

Ruby-red, mellow wine from the Western Regions was served on the table, but Ajiu just watched her parents drink it happily. She and her brothers were not allowed to drink alcohol, even wine.

"Children will become stupid when they drink alcohol." Lin Youhui smiled at Mimi, "Our little Ajiu is so smart, we can't become stupid."

Ajiu's big eyes blinked, very pitiful.However, even Second Master Pei, the father who spoiled his daughter the most, insisted, "Children are not allowed to drink alcohol."

Pei Qi has a calm personality. Although she is jealous when she looks at the tempting wine, she doesn't feel compelled to drink it. She jokes with Ajiu with a smile, "Sister, if I knew it, I wouldn't order these two bottles of wine, right?" Pei Xuan laughed happily, "Sister, it's time to order, and the wine is on the table, but we can only watch, how uncomfortable."

Ajiu waved her little hand boldly, "That's not true! Even though I know I can't drink it, I still order it! My father and mother love to drink it, and seeing them drink it makes me happy."

This flattering was so well done, her father and mother were overwhelmed with joy, and ordered Han Zi to take out three small wine glasses, allowing the three of them to drink a small glass.

Ajiu tasted it bit by bit slowly, and closed her eyes enjoying it, "It's smooth and lingering like silk, with a long aftertaste and endless aftertaste. Good wine, good wine."

After enjoying a delicious meal, the family of five left Yuhua Terrace and walked slowly to the Ping'an Temple deep in the alley.The incense in Ping'an Temple is not too strong, and it is mid-afternoon now, and there are not many people.After paying homage to the Buddha and adding sesame oil money, the family went to the plum forest to watch the plum blossoms.

The plum blossoms here are not only the common red plum blossoms, but also the relatively rare white plum blossoms, and even a small amount of green plum blossoms.Some are as bright as morning glow, or white as auspicious snow, or green as jasper, which are really beautiful. Walking through such a plum forest is like walking in a fairyland.

The fragrance of flowers is intoxicating, like a dream.

In such a beautiful place, a woman's voice suddenly shouted, "Bandits! You are robbers! I am no longer part of your family. I come here to rob people in broad daylight. Is there any law?"

The woman's yelling and cursing gradually became quieter and disappeared, as if someone had silenced her.

Ajiu shivered, her little face turned pale.
