Chapter 1022: Pei Yuanhao's Happy Times

cpa300_4(); Wu Yanqiu smiled faintly and said, "Madame, don't worry. Although Du Yan was a little aggressive, he didn't cause any big disaster in the end, and he was also loyal to the Lord and brave and commendable, and the emperor would not blame him. The emperor also said that this person has such courage and can be reused. ”

As soon as I heard this, the stone in my heart fell to the ground.

did not cause any major disasters, that is to say, it did not cause an uncontrollable situation between the imperial court and those powerful gentry, Pei Yuanhao did not intend to blame him, and admired his loyalty and courage, and may reuse him in the future.

In this way, I am also relieved.

Hearing me breathe a sigh of relief, Wu Yanqiu glanced at me, I felt that there seemed to be something in his eyes, but when I looked closely, I felt that I couldn't see anything, in fact, Wu Yanqiu has always given me the feeling that this is the case, he gives people a very low sense of saving, but if you think about it carefully, he is almost involved in every important thing these days, Pei Yuanhao can send him to Xichuan, but I am afraid that this person is not so simple.

I thought about it, smiled and said: "Speaking of which, Lord Wu has indeed worked too hard these days, running back and forth from south to north, and now that I have returned to Yangzhou, I still can't rest." ”

"......" This time, I felt him pause visibly.

But he immediately smiled and said, "The duty lies." ”

Just now he also said where his responsibilities lie, and he didn't dare to say bitterly, but it sounded understandable just now, but this time, it sounded a little strange to me.

I subconsciously glanced at him, and for some reason, the little uneasiness in my heart became heavier and heavier.

Yangzhou Mansion, the territory of Liu Qinghan, is he really injured so badly, even to the point that he can't go out to deal with official business at all? Or is there some other reason?

At this moment, Li'er in front turned around and waved at me: "Mother, come and see!" ”

Pei Yuanhao was by her side, his face was full of faint, happy smiles, and he also looked back at me at this time, I thought about it, but the words still didn't come out, I just nodded and smiled, and followed.

The two of them had been strolling around the messy bazaar for a while, and though Li'er had experienced it when she had lived with me in Jixiang Village before, it was the first time she had done it with her father, perhaps on purpose; And Pei Yuanhao, he probably never dreamed that he would be a son of heaven, rich from all over the world, and would come to a place to buy vegetables and meat, but the interest of the two of them seemed to be very high, and when they left, they had already bought a lot of fresh river food, and they also bought some vegetables by the way.

In addition to being dressed too decently, there are many people around them, and they are really like the most ordinary father and daughter.

The watery river fresh food that I bought, and the vegetables that were still carrying mud and sand, naturally they didn't carry them, and they were handed over to the entourage brought by Wu Yanqiu, and these people were also hard-working, but I looked at the big stuff and couldn't help asking, "You bought these, what should you do?" ”

When Li'er heard this, looking at those fish, shrimp and vegetables, he also made a difficulty.

But Pei Yuanhao was still smiling, and only said, "Let's go first." ”

|

Seeing that the sun was rising, and there were more and more people in the market, and it took us some effort to get out, we saw a carriage waiting at the intersection in front of us, and when they saw us coming, several people standing by the carriage were all dressed and looked at us respectfully.

Pei Yuanhao walked over with us, and those people immediately leaned over and saluted, he waved his hand to let those people retreat, and then stretched out his hand and hugged Li'er into the carriage, and Li'er immediately sat happily in the carriage.

Then he turned to look at me.

I glanced at him, and then at Li'er lying by the window looking at me, with big black and shining eyes, hesitated for a moment, and got into the carriage anyway.

Wu Yanqiu and the others also got into the car behind, and after a while, the carriage staggered forward.

Li'er was still excited, lying by the window and looking out, our car did not go on the main road, but drove along the small road, along the way can also cross the gap between the trees and the riverside houses, see the rolling river, smell the breath of the river in the wind.

She looked back and asked, "Where the hell are we going?" ”

Pei Yuanhao sat on the other side of the carriage and looked at her with a smile: "You'll know when you go." ”

Li'er pouted, but immediately laughed, and leaned on the window to look at her scenery again, I sat next to her, with my back against the car board that shook slightly with the driving, Pei Yuanhao sat opposite me, also with his back against the car board, with an unfinished smile on his face, looking at me calmly.

I looked at him calmly.

Speaking of which, just a few years ago, I couldn't imagine that I and him could be so close to each other, but not opposites, the two of them were silent like this, you looked at me, I looked at you, not even confrontation, just the most ordinary eyes, listening to the sound of the river flowing not far away, and the gusts of wind raised by the curtain raised by Li'er, making the breath in this carriage more and more quiet.

I thought the road would be long, but unexpectedly, after a while, the carriage stopped.

As soon as I got off the car, I saw a restaurant built by the river, the big red vermilion lacquer door was open, but there were no customers inside, only a few shopkeepers stood at the door, all respectful, with a frightened look on their faces, as soon as they saw us walking over, they immediately bowed their heads and saluted.

Pei Yuanhao said with a smile: "The scenery here is good, let's go to the third floor to have a cup of tea." I'll give it to them. ”

The attendants immediately stepped forward and handed over the fish, shrimp and vegetables in their hands to the people in the restaurant, and Pei Yuanhao had already led us slowly up to the second floor.

This restaurant looks a lot old, and many places seem a little old, but the advantage is that the location is quiet, and the scenery is very good, sitting by the window on the second floor, you can see the whole view of the large river beach below and this section of the river. The river is surging, reflecting the sunlight and reflecting the ten thousand points of light, and the reeds on the river beach are at their most luxuriant, and it looks like a large pile of velvet waves are constantly undulating, which is beautiful.

Pei Yuanhao sat down on the other side of the table, Li'er immediately climbed on the chair on this side, leaned on the window railing and looked outside, and exclaimed: "It's so beautiful, here!" ”

Pei Yuanhao looked at her with crooked eyes with a smile.

I also sat next to Li'er, Wu Yanqiu walked over, smiled and said: "This restaurant is a time-honored brand, but the river was blocked two years ago, and the business was cold, I heard that the boss was almost unable to do it, but fortunately it is okay now." Their craftsmanship is not bad, you can try it. ”

I smiled.

I didn't ask why I almost couldn't do it before, and why is it good now, but it seems that this place has long been arranged by them, although yesterday's assassination did not cause substantial harm to Pei Yuanhao, but after all, the emperor's safety is also related to thousands of Li people, and Wu Yanqiu can't be careless.

After saying those words, he asked those guards and Gu Ping to guard around him, and went down to get busy.

Pei Yuanhao and I, as well as Li'er, sat there.

The scenery is very good, and the tea sent is also good, and after waiting for a while, Wu Yanqiu took someone to bring the wine and food.

The fresh fish and shrimp just bought from the bazaar, as long as you cook it in the simplest way, you can create the best taste, when you see the plate of bright red shrimp, steaming fish, and green and attractive fried vegetables, although it is simple, it makes people appetize, even Pei Yuanhao smiled and said: "Well, it's so fragrant." ”

Then, a few people came up and carried a copper basin full of water for us to wash our hands.

When I grabbed Li'er's hand, carefully washed her, and wiped her fingers with a towel, she had already raised her little finger and pointed to the plate of red boiled shrimp and said, "I want to eat shrimp!" ”

"Okay."

Before I could speak, Pei Yuanhao, who was opposite, had already picked up a shrimp with a smile and put it in his dish, and said, "I'll peel the shell for you." ”

This time, not only me, but also the guards holding the copper basin and guarding the surroundings couldn't help but glance at this side.

After I washed my hands and dried them, I looked back and saw that he had already peeled a shrimp, carried the shrimp tail to dip a little green onion and ginger in the plate, and then sent the white and tender shrimp to Li'er's mouth, and said with a smile: "Come, taste the taste." ”

Li'er whimpered and bit down.

Pei Yuanhao snorted, and the corners of his eyes were crooked with laughter: "Li'er, do you want to eat even my fingers?" ”

Li'er's cheeks were bulging, and he only cared about chewing the shrimp meat in his mouth, wrinkled his nose at him, and swallowed it after chewing a few bites.

Pei Yuanhao smiled and asked, "Is it delicious?" ”

Li'er didn't answer, but said again: "I still want to eat." ”

"Okay."

He agreed, picked up another shrimp and put it in his dish, and began to peel the shell.

The fresh green shrimp tasted very delicious, and the shell was easy to peel, but it still took some thought and effort, and after peeling the shell, he carefully picked out the shrimp line, and then dipped it in the seasoning, and sent it to Li'er's mouth. This time, Li'er carefully took a bite along the shrimp tail, and then ate it slowly.

Pei Yuanhao looked at her like this, his eyes were full of gentle smiles.

It's not that I haven't seen the gentle Pei Yuanhao, it's just that such gentleness is too rare. He has both children and daughters, and there will be no fewer children in the future, but Li'er is the only child who has not grown up with him since he was a child, and until now, he has not recognized her, this feeling may be sweet, maybe painful, but as a parent, it is happiness to be able to see the child's smile, even if it is a small expression.

While Li'er was eating, he had already picked up two more shrimp into the plate and peeled them carefully, after peeling them, dipped them in the seasoning, and then picked one up with chopsticks and put it on the plate in front of me.

I paused for a moment and looked up at him.
