Chapter 409 Lots of rewards
"Oh, I wonder whose girl she is? But whose daughter is she?"
To be honest, Xie Yunci was a little surprised that Pei Yu actually had a girl he liked. You know, when the two of them were attacking the capital city before, no girl could get close to him.
He suddenly felt curious about what kind of girl could make him fall in love with her.
Pei Yu raised a gentle smile, "Ali is just a girl from an ordinary family, not a rich lady, but she is as precious as gold in my heart."
Xie Yunche became even more curious, and felt as if his heart was being scratched by a kitten. Pei Yu had basically been with him for the past two years, so how could he have the time to meet a girl?
But looking at him, it doesn't seem like he just met her, so that means he knew her before. Plus, he went to Jiangnan years ago, so it's very likely that the girl is from Jiangnan.
Jiangnan women are so gentle and kind, so Pei Yu must have been attracted to her by a pretty and gentle girl.
It was this wrong perception that he had instilled in himself that made him a little bit unbelieving when he saw Shen Li.
"When will you marry her?"
"We are already engaged, Your Majesty, I have a request."
"explain."
Xie Yunci touched the dragon head on the throne. He didn't expect that he was so quick to act and was actually engaged.
"Although I am engaged to A-li, I still want to ask the emperor to grant me marriage on his birthday."
"Okay, that's it."
Xie Yunci was originally worried about Pei Yu's lifelong affairs, and now he has solved it himself. It is just a matter of asking for a marriage, which is a trivial matter.
Moreover, Pei Yu had made many contributions, so he could not refuse this request.
"By the way, sit down and talk. Pei Qing, show me what you said in the letter."
"I had someone bring it when I entered the palace. It should be here soon."
Pei Yu said as he walked to the chair the eunuch brought for him and sat down.
"Okay, Eunuch Qu, go and take a look. If there is anything from the Jingnan Palace, get on board quickly."
"Yes."
Eunuch Qu bowed and replied before leaving the imperial study. He stood waiting at the door. He could naturally see the emperor's eagerness and was even more curious about what kind of thing made the emperor wait in this way.
"Your Majesty, the gifts from Prince Jingnan's Palace have arrived!"
Eunuch Qu brought up the contents of the bag on a tray. He had already seen what was in the bag before he felt comfortable placing it on the dragon table.
When Xie Yunci opened it, he found that he had never seen the things that appeared before. The most eye-catching one was the golden one, which looked like a smaller version of a clothes beater.
Then there is a red thing. When you put it to the tip of your nose, you can smell a fragrance. Finally, there is a yellowish-brown ball. It can’t be called a ball because it’s not quite round.
Pei Yu walked over and introduced them to him: "Your Majesty, these are called corn, tomatoes, and potatoes."
Pei Yu briefly introduced the names to him in the order he picked them up, and then the production volume of various things, which was mentioned in the letter.
Xie Yunci took the three things and touched them one by one, especially the potatoes and corn. Sometimes he felt like he was playing with precious items.
But in his eyes, these things are more valuable than gold and silver. No, it should be said that gold and silver are far less valuable than these things.
"Hahaha, good. Beiyan is lucky to have a minister like you."
Pei Yu clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I did not discover this thing, so I dare not take credit for it."
"Whoever discovered it will be rewarded handsomely to you and him."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. These were brought back by Lu Jing, the head of the richest Lu family, who led a caravan out to sea. Although he brought them back, he didn't know how to plant them."
"Thanks to a girl who knows how to plant, and she is familiar with the head of the Lu family, these seeds came into her hands, which led to the results presented today."
Xie Yunci saw that when he mentioned that girl, there was a hint of pride in his eyes and eyebrows, so he said, "This girl is your fiancée, right?"
Although it was a question, the tone was firm.
Pei Yu curled his lips, "Your Majesty is wise."
Seeing his look, Xie Yunci shook his head. He had never been able to imagine him falling in love before, but now he saw it with his own eyes.
"By the way, when will your fiancée come to Beijing?"
"She has already arrived in the capital. Her brother joined the army and made great contributions in the battle against the Tatars, so the whole family has gone to the capital."
"In this case, you can be considered an official's wife. Bring everyone with you on Halloween."
"Yes."
Xie Yunci's expression turned serious. Now that they had finished talking about trivial matters, it was time to talk about serious matters.
"Pei Yu, when do you plan to go out to sea?"
"After the longevity festival."
Xie Yunci nodded slightly in approval, "There is a general in the coastal area who fights pirates at sea all year round. I will order him to assist you. When the time comes, take away anyone you need. If they don't want to go, tell me."
"I obey your command. Thank you, Your Majesty."
He had never fought at sea before. This matter was of great importance and he should not be blindly arrogant. He really needed such talents.
"Well, my dear, you have come all the way back from the north. You must have worked hard. Go back and rest first."
After he stepped back, the smile on Xie Yunci's face still did not disappear. He naturally noticed Pei Yu's unnaturalness when he called him "My dear".
I shook my head, still feeling awkward.
The next second, when he saw the young eunuch come in, the smile on his face completely disappeared.
Pei Yuren went to Shen Li, and the Jingnan Palace sent another batch of rewards to him.
Shen Jingyuan has returned to Pei Yu's private residence. Seeing Shen Jingyuan coming back, Shen Li also knew that Pei Yu had returned, but was temporarily called away by the emperor.
Pei Yu strode in. This was his private residence, so naturally no one stopped him.
I didn’t feel anything when we hadn’t seen each other for such a long time, but after only two days, I feel so uncomfortable.
"Ali."
Shen Li looked at the dusty man with a faint smile on her face, "Ayu, you're back."
Shen Qi'an was reading in his own yard. Shen Jingyuan and his wife took Shen Moci back to the yard. Only Shen Changshan and his wife and Shen Li were left in the yard.
The couple watched this scene in silence, which instantly made their presence felt even lower in front of Pei Yu. However, it was impossible to ignore it.
"uncle and auntie."
"Ayu is here. Have you eaten yet? Ask the kitchen to make you some food. You look so exhausted. Eat something first and then go wash up."
"Okay, thank you, aunt."
Although he knew that even if Lin Cuicui didn't arrange these things, someone else would do it, but Pei Yu did not reject Lin Cuicui's kindness. Instead, he felt very grateful.
Shen Li was also very happy to see this scene. Nothing could make her happier than this.
