Ajiu

Chapter 25 It's Not Difficult
When mentioning his sister, Chen Lingyun's expression darkened.

Pei Heng was older and more able to observe facial expressions than his younger brothers. He asked hesitantly, "You also have a younger sister, don't you?"

Chen Lingyun nodded, "Yes, she is one and a half years old."

His younger sister, Chen Lingwei, is only one and a half years old, and she is still a little girl who doesn't understand anything.

I don't know what happened to Awei.When mentioning his sister, Chen Lingyun's eyes darkened again.

Chen Lingwei was raised in front of Mrs. Linjiang Hou Tai, but thinking about her grandmother's moody temperament, Chen Lingyun was very worried.Grandmother, sometimes she is towards mother, sometimes towards that woman, sometimes she likes the eldest sister, sometimes she likes the younger sister, it is really unpredictable, people don't know what to do.

"I have two younger sisters. The eldest sister is born to Mrs. Madam. She is four years old this year. The younger sister shares the same mother with me and is only one and a half years old." Chen Lingyun said sullenly.

Among the three children of the Pei family, the oldest, Pei Heng, was only six years old, and when he heard this, he said "Oh", and said, "I see." The younger Pei Jing and Pei Lin were very confused.Brothers and sisters, a father, but not a mother?Are their mothers still alive?

Pei Lin was too young, so if she didn't understand, she didn't understand. He didn't ask too much, and didn't think too much.Pei Jing was just at the age of curiosity. She thought about it seriously for a long time, but she didn't want to understand what was going on.

"I have a father, a mother, an uncle, a second uncle, and two aunts; my brothers also have a father and a mother; it's so strange like my cousin's house." Pei Jing calculated , confused.

"Cousin, do you have a younger brother?" Pei Heng asked Chen Lingyun politely.

"No, my father only has me as a son." Chen Lingyun shook his head.

"That's it." The three brothers of the Pei family looked at Chen Lingyun sympathetically.You don't even have a younger brother, who usually plays with you?So lonely, so poor.

Of course the younger sister is very good, but it is different for the younger sister to be pampered and pampered.

"He doesn't even have a brother!"

"He has two younger sisters, but the eldest sister is not the same mother as him!"

"He looks good in horseback riding, and he can fight!"

After uncle and cousin said goodbye, Pei Heng, Pei Jing, and Pei Lin surrounded their parents, scrambling to express their feelings.

Pei Jing deliberately asked modestly, "Why is my cousin's younger sister not the same mother as him? Is she like Ajiu?"

Ajiu is his younger sister, and he is not the same mother as him.

However, there is no father either.

Pei Jing was confused.

Xu frowned, "What nonsense! Why do you compare Ajiu with others?" Ajiu is the baby of the Pei family, Chen Lingyun's sisters, how can they be compared with her?

Third Master Pei has a good temper, so he called Pei Jing to him, and told him patiently and meticulously, "Your cousin uncle has a wife and a concubine, and Cousin Ling is born of a concubine."

Now that Mr. Pei has something to do, he has to explain what is a wife and what is a concubine, and why his cousin has a wife and a concubine.After explaining and explaining, sweat broke out on his forehead.

It takes a lot of effort to explain this clearly to children.

Xu was a little annoyed at first, but she couldn't help but look at her husband's busy work.How can I explain this clearly to my children?Look, how tired you are, the children are still confused.

"You guys don't understand what I've said, but when you grow up, you'll understand." Xu interrupted them with a smile.

Third Master Pei nodded in relief, "Yes, when you grow up, you will naturally understand!"

"Cheat a child!" Pei Jing loudly expressed dissatisfaction.

"Fooling the kids!" Pei Heng said slowly.

Pei Lin smiled flatteringly, looked at her brother, at her parents, and didn't know which side to stand for for a while.

Xu smiled and looked at the three sons, "Good boy, I didn't fool you, really, when you grow up, you will understand."

Mr. Pei couldn't bear it, but he couldn't help it.Children, you are too young, Dad really can't explain clearly to you.

Pei Heng and Pei Jing stamped their feet angrily, and ran out to play together, Pei Lin hurriedly followed behind.

"These three brats!" Mr. Pei and Mrs. Xu looked at each other and smiled, both of them were sweet.

"My lady, my cousin told me repeatedly before leaving that I want to invite my second elder brother and second sister-in-law to go to the South Garden together." Third Master Pei recalled Lin Jianghou's instructions and hurriedly told his wife.

"Cousin is too polite. Second brother is just helping him find someone." Mr. Pei laughed.

Mrs. Xu smiled, "Cousin doesn't just want to thank you, he's worried about his precious son." His sweetheart has been found, but the matter of his eldest son beating up his aunt is over.Second Master Pei has been with Taishou Pei for many years and is proficient in criminal names. Can he rush to ask for advice?

"Ah?" Mr. Pei scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

Wife, he is your cousin, why not be more euphemistic, so straightforward.

Xu really wanted to blurt out, "The Marquis of Linjiang doesn't know my Xu family well, so don't pay attention to him, stop running around for him!"

Why is the Pei family so dedicated to the affairs of the Marquis of Linjiang?Because Linjianghou's Mansion and Wei Guogong's Mansion are relatives.With Wei Guogong's life-saving grace, Prefect Pei is not willing to neglect Linjiang Hou, an in-law of the Xu family.

Mrs. Xu has no way to tell the truth, nor can she reveal that she has a gap with her aunt, Mrs. Linjiang Houtai, and that she is not close.

Xu was very distressed.

Mr. Pei comforted her, "Well, if Brother Ling is held accountable, my aunt will feel distressed and anxious, right? If my aunt is in a hurry to do something wrong, how can my mother-in-law not be worried? Ma'am, let's try to calm down this matter with the second brother. Incidents can be regarded as being filial to the mother-in-law, killing three birds with one stone."

The more Mr. Pei thinks about it, the more appropriate he is to save a naive child, to appease the elderly Mrs. Linjiang Hou, and to do his filial piety to his mother-in-law.

Seeing how considerate he was, Mrs. Xu covered her mouth and smiled, "Master, if we go to Beijing in the future, don't go to Linjiang Hou's mansion. Be careful that my cousin will not follow you when she sees you."

The eldest son of the concubine cut her with a knife, and you help the eldest son of the concubine, she must hate you to death.

Third Master Pei smiled lightly, "She has to thank me. My lady, if there is a case of infidelity in the local area, even the magistrate will be implicated; what will happen if there is a case of infidelity in any marquis' mansion in the capital? It sounds nice to say it. what?"

If you tell Chen Lingyun disobedience, Mrs. Linjiang Hou will not fall well.Chen Lingyun is seven years old this year, not 17 years old.Moreover, as of now, Chen Lingyun is the only son of Marquis Linjiang.

Linjiang Hou's eldest son cut off his aunt with a knife?Why?Oh, Mrs. Linjiang Hou sold his biological mother.

Mrs. Hou wanted to sell her concubine with a son. The reason for this is arousing people's imagination.

It's all scandalous.

Linjiang Hou and his son have been out of Beijing for some time, is there any trouble in the capital?No.Nine times out of ten, Mrs. Linjiang Hou also wanted to cover up the matter and was unwilling to make it public.

"I think my cousin is overthinking it, but it's good to read it carefully." Mr. Pei laughed.

After thinking about it, Xu could only nod.

Second Master Pei's family came back happily.

"Have you ever seen a treasure ship? The ship has four floors, 44 feet long, 200 feet wide, and the anchor weighs several thousand catties. It takes more than [-] people to set sail." Pei Qi boasted to his brothers proudly.

Pei Heng, Pei Jing, and Pei Lin were envious, "It's so big!"

Little Ajiu rode on the shoulders of Second Master Pei, condescending, with joyful eyebrows, "...so big, such a sword!" He even said and gestured, showing off how big and tall the treasure ship he saw was.

"What do you think, Ah Jiu?" Mrs. Fang cheerfully asked her little granddaughter.

"That's too much." Ah Jiu hugged her father's head with her two small hands, proudly.

The days of riding on my father's shoulders are very happy and majestic.

Lin Youhui smiled dotingly, "Ajiu is a little naughty, she doesn't want me to hug her because she thinks she's not tall enough." Riding on her father's shoulder, she pointed at the distant boats and cheered and screamed, overjoyed.

"You're not tall enough to hold her." Mrs. Fang smiled.

Lin Youhui smiled.

Third Master Pei looked at the cute little girl on the second brother's shoulder, envious, "Ajiu, there will be more in four years, when the third father will take you there, okay?"

Ajiu shook her head again and again, "No, no!"

"You don't want to see third father so much?" Seeing her shaking his head, Third Master Pei felt a little embarrassed.

"...Excessive expense." Ajiu took a lot of effort to burst out these two words.

The ocean-going fleet is huge, cutting-edge, beautiful, and expensive!If they were followed by merchant ships, that would be fine, at least they could make some money back.But they didn't, they were purely official activities, not talking about business.If things go on like this, it will definitely not last.In another four years, it may not be possible to see the fleet set sail.

"What did Ajiu say? Wasteful?" Third Master Pei understood what she meant, and was very pleasantly surprised. "Ajiu is young, so she already knows the hardships of people's livelihood."

How much manpower and material resources will be consumed for a four-year voyage, and how much burden will be added to the common people.But how can children understand?

"Sister is so smart!" The brothers all exclaimed.

Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Xu also laughed at Mimi and praised Ajiu. Ajiu was riding on her father's shoulders with an air that couldn't be more impressive.

Second Master Pei and Lin Youhui glanced at each other, amused in their hearts.Good girl, did your parents say that they went abroad to spend extravagantly, have you remembered that?The little guy has a great memory.

Third Master Pei smiled and said Lin Jianghou's invitation, Second Master Pei pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Okay."

The affairs of the Chen family were nothing but the filth and filth common to wealthy families, and they really didn't want to get involved.However, he is a relative of the third sibling's natal family, so he can't ignore it.

If the Marquis of Linjiang just wanted to excuse the eldest son, it would not be difficult.

If you want to keep your concubine safe and bring your sweetheart back to Beijing to live a happy life, it's out of the question.
