Chapter 106
Entering the atrium, Pei Ling has received the news and greeted her.
Qin Nuo stepped forward quickly, stopped him halfway through the kneeling ceremony, and said with a smile: "I just came out with a gentle dress, the general does not need to be so formal."
Pei Ling got up and personally led Qin Nuo into the main hall.
Qin Nuo looked around all the way. The Pei family’s house was the ancestral home of the Pei family. After the family was ransacked and exterminated, it was put into the inner treasury. Later, the Pei family’s case was rehabilitated, and these properties were returned.
Although Pei Ling has more power and authority than before, she has not lived in this ancestral house for long, and most of them are under the banner of recuperating illness, so the house is far less lively than Pei’s heyday.
"The general here is so clean." Qin Nuo couldn't help but speak. His words are not exaggerated. When the prince was a prince, he went to banquets every day and visited many noble and rich mansions. Today's world advocates extravagance and luxury, and the noble residences are all perfect and magnificent.
It is rare for Pei’s residence to walk in such a pure style. The walls of the mansion are clean and black and white. If there are many, it is trees. The front courtyard is full of pine and cypresses. Although it is midwinter, it is still green and green. There should be a lot of plum blossoms in the backyard, and the scent of light fragrance can already be smelled far away.
"The minister is not tolerant of noise, so there are not many people in the family every day." Pei Ling answered simply.
Entering the main hall, Qin Nuo asked, "Is he from the He family just now? That young man is He Ci?"
"The emperor's eyes are like torches." Pei Ling smiled.
Just guess what it was. Only relatives like the He family can let Pei Ling open the door to greet him.
I would say a few words if knew it, to test qualifications. Qin Nuo is a bit regretful.
Although he didn't say this, Pei Ling seemed to understand what he was thinking, and smiled: "He Ci is cautious and wise. The emperor will know it after a try."
"The general does not avoid suspicion." Qin Nuo teased deliberately. He knows Pei Ling's temperament very well. Even if he desperately wants the position of Changlong Guan's soothing officer, he will not want to win by boasting. Such praise and affirmation of He Ci, this person must have merit.
"Executives do not avoid relatives." Pei Ling said frankly.
The other party was so frank, Qin Nuo didn't want to be tortuous, and simply said, "I came here because of a troublesome thing."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Pei Ling: "The emperor, foreign ministers are not easy to intervene in matters of the inner palace."
I didn't even say what it was, you just blocked the conversation. Qin Nuo helpless, "But this is also the general's housework."
"It's just a little misunderstanding. As long as you have a clear heart and a clear heart, you will not be afraid of gossip."
Qin Nuo felt relieved, he really didn't want to conflict with Pei Ling and Pei Tuo because of such nonsensical things. Seeing that Pei Ling didn't care at all now, she immediately felt relieved.
"The general's heart is as beautiful as the moon, so I feel relieved." He smiled.
Pei Ling shook his head and smiled: "The minister's housework doesn't matter, it's just the emperor's housework, which is more troublesome."
Qin Nuo's heart sank and he understood the meaning of Pei Ling's words. From the beginning to the end, this matter was the work of Queen Mother Huo, and it was also his housework. Fortunately, there is a clear heart between himself and Pei Ling, and there will be no grudges because of this matter. But the Queen Mother Huo's wrist is not so easy to deal with. Especially between herself and her, the big hat of filial piety is still pressed.
Forget it, put these annoying things aside. It's hard to get a trip to the palace.
"I heard that the general's martial arts peak, why not come to give me some advice on my skills." Qin Nuo said cheerfully. He had planned this a long time ago. Follow Fang Yuan to practice martial arts every day, but where is he? There is no personal verification. It is rare that this one in front of me is a great master, and he knows the details of his martial arts. A trip out of the palace can't let go of the opportunity.
Pei Ling was also a refreshing person, and took Qin Nuo straight to the martial arts ground behind.
He knew that Qin Nuo didn't want the news of martial arts to leak out, so the attendants screened back, and even Ren Jinglei and Pei Tuo stayed in the front court.
Being in the vestibule is very boring, Pei Tuo leaned against the door frame boredly.
Finally, the He family retired. thought it would be liberated, but didn't expect more troublesome guests to come.
Going to the martial arts field, do you want your uncle to give some advice on martial arts? The kung fu of the three-legged cat is really a waste of Uncle's time. Pei Tuo was trying to find an excuse to slip away, and Ren Jinglei's voice came in his ear.
"Anyway, I'm bored. Is Bodyguard Fang interested in doing two tricks with me?" Ren Jinglei approached Fang Yuan and suggested with a smile.
Fang Yuan lowered his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes. "The leader is polite. It's not good to be so rude to visit."
"What rudeness, the emperor hasn't all gone to the martial arts field."
Hearing the competition, Pei Tuo lifted his spirits. He had long been interested in Fang Yuan's martial arts, but he never had the opportunity to fight.
"Without the permission of the emperor, I dare not move lightly." Fang Yuan was very stubborn, leaving the two of them soft and hard, just unmoved.
Ren Jinglei simply sneered: "Are the people of Nanchen so fearful?"
"Ren the leader cautiously!" Fang Yuan did not speak, but Lee Maru beside him couldn't stand it anymore. He reminded sternly: "Bodyguard Fang is a guard of the Ouchi, with a rank bestowed by the emperor. What Nanchen people, slaves, etc. People don’t hear it, and I hope that the leader will stop mentioning it."
Ren Jinglei had a natural expression and smiled, "Thank you for your father-in-law's point. It was me who made a mistake. I just admired the martial arts of Bodyguard Fang, but I have never had the opportunity to get close, so I am a little impatient."
Lee Maru glared at him, then turned his head to persuade him: "You don't have to be polite with Bodyguard Fang. The emperor is afraid that it will take a while. It's not as good as you young people to learn from each other."
He has absolute confidence in Fang Yuan's martial arts, anyway, no one in King Chun can beat it. Although this leader has a high official position, he may not be as good as Fang Yuan when he really talks about martial arts. Teach him a lesson, so that these people will not be arrogant all day long and think that the five guards of the imperial army are the top ones.
Even Lee Maru was persuading, Fang Yuan finally nodded helplessly and agreed.
************
When he came out of the martial arts field, Qin Nuo felt a lot more cheerful. Pei Ling really deserves to be the master of martial arts, and she gave detailed instructions on the omissions in the operation of her internal power and the flaws in his moves. In particular, he originally taught Pei Tuo and others, and compared to Fang Yuan, he understood how to mention newcomers who were just getting started.
Even Qin Nuo's leg meridian helped to re-examine it again, which was regarded as a reckless apologization to the two Pei Tuo before.
"My nephew was reckless before and almost delayed the emperor's important affairs."
"Those who don't know are not guilty." Although she was still angry with Pei Tuo in her heart, Pei Ling had already disciplined the two of them, and she couldn't go after them.
"The emperor should follow the Bodyguard Fang to practice martial arts, and he should also pay attention. It will inevitably lead to misunderstandings if you fall into the eye." Pei Ling tapped on the side to remind.
misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? Qin Nuo was stunned.
But Pei Ling didn't say much about it.
The two came to the front court, but they saw Fang Yuan and Lee Maru disappeared. After asking, knew that everyone had gone to another martial arts field.
Preventing the attendants from calling for people, Qin Nuo and Pei Ling also went to the martial arts field in Dongtou.
Ren Jinglei and Fang Yuan were in the field.
Energetic and energetic in the room, the two recruited forcefully. Although there are no soldiers with swords, the fierce murderous aura between the moves makes people scared. After all, they are all people who have been on the battlefield.
Seeing the emperor and Pei Ling coming together, the two stopped and bowed to salute.
"You don't have time to spare." Qin Nuo smiled.
Ren Jinglei smiled and said: "It is the minister who has always admired Bodyguard Fang's martial arts training, so he can't help itching his hands. Please forgive me, the emperor."
"It's a good thing to learn from martial arts. How can I forgive me." Qin Nuo smiled, and selfishly, he hoped that Fang Yuan would have more contact with the young generals in the army. Fang Yuan's talents just put him by his side. The guard is a pity. If one day, he hopes Fang Yuan can make great achievements.
Fang Yuan said nothing but stood behind him in silence.
Coming out of the martial arts field, Pei Ling asked, "Does the emperor want to return to the palace?"
"It's still early. I want to go shopping on the street and see the night view of Shangyuan." Qin Nuo smiled. It is difficult to make a trip to the palace. He doesn't want to go back so early.
"The general will go with me." Qin Nuo invited.
*******************
Qin Nuo walked on the street.
Looking at the brightly lit streets from a distance, was deeply moved.
Pei Ling actually sent herself out like this, and stuffed him with these people... Qin Nuo glanced at Pei Tuo and Pei Du beside him.
I just proposed to go out for a stroll, and invited Pei Ling to join him, but Pei Ling turned down. Openly traveling with the emperor was too exciting for some forces in the court.
But when arrived at the door, met the little girl Pei Du who wanted to go out shopping. Helpless, Pei Ling simply ordered Pei Tuo and Ren Jinglei to accompany him, so they went to the market together.
Shangyuan Festival is tomorrow, and today the streets are extremely prosperous. Some impatient merchants hung their lanterns early, and there are several times more people traveling than in the past, but they are still not as big as they are.
In the shops on both sides, many small promotional items are placed outside. Qin Nuo wanted to laugh when he saw many lanterns with various advertising slogans.
It seems that from ancient times to the present, the business ideas are exactly the same!
The Great Zhou Dynasty established the country for a long time, and the capital gathered in the capital, and these commerce and trade industries also developed.
Pei Du was still chatting beside him, and he didn't change his attitude because he became the emperor. It was the two maids beside her who looked a little afraid of herself.
Qin Nuo was thinking about whether he should keep a distance from Pei Du. But seeing Pei Du's attitude is calm and clear. He was relieved instantly. The little girl's affection for herself is just the little girl's natural longing for beautiful things. If you say love, it is still far away. I am a modern person, but he is restrained by these messy rules. Besides, so many people go out together.
When going out, obviously the skewers stalls and beverage shops on the side of the road made Pei Du linger. Qin Nuo relaxed and started eating, drinking and having fun.
He tasted the drink in his hand. It was a cup of goat's milk, warm and rich, slightly bitter, because it was mixed with almond powder to remove the smell. Although it is not as strong and sweet as the milk tea of later generations, it has a unique taste.
Pei Du ordered a cup of sherbet. There were few fresh fruits in winter. The price of this sherbet was more expensive than Qin Nuo's drinks combined.
Pei Tuo dismissed the drink, he and Ren Jinglei both had a glass of sweet wine. Even the Lee Maru and others who followed, Qin Nuo ordered each to choose.
But they didn't choose drinks, only some simple snacks. How to serve people with a drink?
Of course, Ren Jinglei paid for the money.
Pei Du was holding the sherbet, with milk crisps, eating happily, with bulging cheeks on both sides, like a little hamster. His eyes fell on the bun shop next to...
After eating, drinking, and having fun, Pei Du was once again attracted by a fish-fishing stall.
Qin Nuo also leaned forward. This kind of fish-fishing business seemed to be no different from what he saw in the night market in the previous life, except that the fish in it were smaller and more flexible.
The pool is made of wood and is two laps larger than the bathtub. It is filled with clear water. A small red fish is only the size of a little thumb, and it is very flexible.
There are already several girls around, pulling their sleeves to catch fish.
Pei Du also leaned over, enthusiastically asking for a net spoon to join the army.
Qin Nuo watched from the side.
Pei Du fished several times, but failed. Qin Nuo gradually saw the doorway coming. This fish swims extremely fast, and if the movement is not agile, it will definitely not be caught. However, the setting of the net spoon is quite exquisite. If the speed is too fast when the water breaks out, it will be broken through the net surface by the water and the fish will leak.
Among them, it takes a little bit of skill to be precise, rigid and soft. After watching it for a long time, my hands are itchy. If it weren't for the scruples that the girls are fishing, it is not easy to get up, I really want to try it out.
Pei Du was quick-witted and lost to the net spoon every time. Fortunately, she was also considered smart, and soon found the trick. Finally successfully caught a small fish.
The vendor's owner also sells glazed cups, which are translucent glass filled with clear water and a few green plants, which are quite cute.
Ren Jinglei bought the largest one and asked Pei Du to put the fish in it.
She was having fun here, Pei Tuo and the others were already impatient looking at them, and they all went to see the lantern nearby.
Pei Du had been fishing for a long time before he had a good time. He threw down the net spoon and smiled, "I want to raise these fish in the lotus pond in the backyard. You can send me back first... Ah, my fish!"
With a scream, everyone discovered that there were almost no fish in the colored glaze lamp beside the wooden barrel, and there was a cat beside it.
