Chapter 379 Hold on tight
It’s time to grab the week’s birthday.
The floor was covered with all kinds of things, and Pei Le was placed in the middle.
Everyone formed a large circle on the outside, looking at Pei Le with interest to see what he would catch.
There is a folk saying that if a child grabs a brush during the "Zhuazhou" ceremony, he or she will either become a great writer or a high-ranking official in the future. If he or she grabs a weapon, he or she will become a general in the future.
Su Li didn't have any particular hope.
She was happy no matter what her son caught.
Hadn't she and Pei Heng built up such a huge fortune just to give their children a better life? Let her son do whatever he likes and don't stifle his nature.
"Lele! Lele! What do you want?"
Everyone stared with wide eyes.
As a result, Pei Le sat on the ground, looked around with his round eyes, suddenly swung his hands and feet, and crawled in one direction very nimbly.
In front of him was a wooden sword.
"Oh, young master, you want to follow in your father's footsteps and become a great general!"
"Not bad!"
Just when everyone thought Pei Le was going to grab the wooden sword, he supported himself with his hands and stood up directly from the ground. Then he opened his arms and staggered towards Li Ji who was standing behind the wooden sword, and hugged his thighs.
The pink little mouth opened, clear saliva flowed all over the floor, and she stuttered and shouted vaguely:
"Brother, brother! Lele, brother!"
The crowd roared with laughter.
Su Li even covered her face. Her son was really picky. He picked the thickest thigh in the whole venue and hugged it directly.
Li Ji hadn't seen his family for many days, and when Pei Le hugged him like this, his heart softened inexplicably.
He bent down and picked up Pei Le.
"Okay, brother will hold Lele."
"Hehehe!" Pei Le let out a burst of laughter, then hugged Li Ji and gave him a kiss on the face, leaving his face covered with saliva.
Pei Heng was very pleased to see the close relationship between the brothers.
After a busy day, the guests finally left. Li Ji held Pei Le, and took Pei Xi, Xie An and others out to play.
Su Li sat in the room and counted today's gifts.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess also sent someone to deliver a gift."
Among the pile of gifts, the eldest princess's gift was particularly eye-catching.
Pei Heng took a quick look and said:
"She has a heart."
Su Li sighed, "I wonder when she and Master Shen will get married? They're both not young anymore. If they get married this year, they'll be having a baby by this time next year."
"Her Royal Highness the Princess has extraordinary political views. The Emperor now relies on her help with many things, but it should be soon."
Right now, government affairs are running smoothly and everything is on track.
The emperor has obviously been much more relaxed recently, and his mood is not as depressed as when he first ascended the throne.
Now that time has passed, it's time to put the marriage between the eldest princess and Shen Yanqing on the agenda.
"Oh, the second half of the year is going to be really busy. Look, Su Zhe and Song Ci are getting married, the eldest princess is getting married too, and my third aunt also wrote to say that my fifth sister is getting married. It's really wedding season again!"
Su Li counted on her fingers.
There are quite a lot of people getting married in the second half of the year.
"Well. Speaking of Pei Yao's marriage, we have to prepare a dowry for her." Pei Heng said.
"Don't worry, I'm ready."
Pei Yao is well-educated, well-mannered, and has a strong sense of purpose, but he is not too aggressive, which makes him very popular with Mrs. Qian.
Mrs. Qian tried her best to match her with her eldest son Qian Jinxiu.
Qian Jinxiu initially gave up on himself and refused treatment due to his inner demons, but after learning about Huang Yiwen's feelings, he finally reconciled with himself.
He is a gentle and elegant gentleman. After several contacts with Pei Yao, they seem to be a perfect match.
My third aunt wrote to say that the marriage between the two families would be held on November 8th.
The Qian family attached great importance to this marriage and chose the best in everything. The betrothal gift also complied with the rules of Shengjing and was of the highest standard.
Pei Yao herself was also very satisfied with this marriage.
After experiencing what happened to Qian Jinru, she also understood that when judging a person, one should not only look at the surface, but also look at his essence with the heart.
You live your own life, so you can't just look at the appearance, you have to look at the substance.
People like Qian Jinru do have face wherever they go, but he has evil intentions and is secretly plotting conspiracies all day long. He deserves the fate he ended up in.
Although Qian Jinxiu cannot stand up at the moment and can only rely on a wheelchair to get by, he has an open mind and respects and loves Pei Yao very much. The two of them get along very well.
Su Li took out a land deed and spread it in front of Pei Heng.
"In addition to some gold and silver jewelry, I plan to give her the tea house in Lin'an as a dowry."
Pei Yao loves tea ceremony and is good at studying it, so this gift is perfect for her.
"How can I let my wife spend so much money?"
Pei Heng knew that Su Li had put a lot of effort into the tea mountain in Lin'an.
"hehe,"
Su Li smiled mysteriously,
"Fifth sister is your sister, and also my sister. I don't feel bad at all for giving things to her family."
The tea plantation was very profitable, and she had made a lot of money since she bought it. She had already bought several more tea plantations in the core area of Lin'an. She had also bought a lot in Quanzhou and Yizhou. She even did a lot of business in Dali.
At the moment, even Pei Heng doesn’t know how many properties she has.
"it is good!"
Pei Heng knew that Su Li loved money, but she was not stingy.
These are all her hard-earned money, and she is free to spend them however she likes.
"It's a pity that we can't attend her wedding."
There are still a lot of things to do in Shengjing, and I really don’t have time to rush to Lin’an.
"It's okay. Third aunt and the others all know your feelings."
The sound of children laughing and playing came from outside the window.
Li Ji now lives in the palace. Although he comes back every now and then, the feeling is different after all.
How can the soul of a twenty-four-year-old be the same as that of a ten-year-old?
However, it was rare that he was willing to pretend today and play with his younger brothers and sisters. Su Li was already very satisfied.
Noticing her gaze, Pei Heng said softly:
"Ji'er is doing well in the palace. The Emperor has asked Mr. Sun to continue teaching him, and he has also appointed several other respected elders to serve as his teachers. Now, in addition to his daily homework, Ji'er also has to learn how to handle state affairs from the Emperor. It's rare for him to have such free time."
Li Ji was mature in mind and had the talent of a top scholar. He always made the elders exclaim that he was "born with knowledge" and was amazed at his genius!
Sometimes his political views even made Li Gan feel inferior.
Li Gan always sighed in front of Pei Heng, saying that Li Ji was born to be a politician. When it comes to controlling people's hearts and handling government affairs, Li Ji seems to have a natural ability.
Any complicated matter can always be easily solved in his hands.
Of course, Pei Heng couldn't tell the emperor that Li Ji's body was actually Pei Huan, who had already lived a previous life. He could only laugh it off and say that Li Ji had inherited his father's good genes.
"By the way, the Emperor still refuses to appoint a queen?"
Su Li asked Pei Heng secretly.
This is a taboo topic!
Seeing Pei Heng shaking his head slightly, Su Li also sighed.
"The Emperor is under considerable pressure. Previously, he could have excused himself by saying he was in mourning for the late Emperor, but now so much time has passed. If he doesn't appoint a new Empress, I'm afraid it would be unacceptable."
Su Li shook her head.
Poor mandarin ducks!
