Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 657 [Extra] If life were just like the first time we met (19)

After Pingyang passed away, Pei Jun and Sister Qing were originally worried that Pei Yunqian would not be able to bear it, but Pei Yunqian was indeed a man who had experienced ups and downs. After Pingyang's death was settled, his life returned to its previous state.

 He went to the camp every day to handle affairs, and became more diligent in teaching his stepson.

 Seeing that Pei Yunqian was fine, Pei Jun and Sister Qing were relieved.

But on the 100th day after the death of Pingyang, because it was a big memorial ceremony for the deceased, Pei Jun got up early in the morning but could not see his father. He searched the house and found no one.

 On such a day, it is impossible for Pei Yunqian to be absent without reason.

Everyone hurriedly searched for the tomb in Pingyang, and finally found Pei Yunqian.

He was sitting in front of the Pingyang Mausoleum, with one leg bent and the other stretched naturally, his head leaning on the tombstone, with a peaceful look on his face, as if he was asleep.

 He just went with Pingyang.

Pei Yunqian personally selected the cemetery in Pingyang. After burying Pingyang, Pei Yunqian personally planted a large area of ​​poinciana trees in front of the mausoleum.

It's spring, and the Poinciana tree has taken root, and many saplings have bloomed with swollen flower buds. It won't be long before the place will be a sea of ​​fiery red flowers.

Pei Yunqian left without any warning, so Pei Jun was very sad. Although he was Pei Yunqian's stepson, he was raised under the knees of Marquis Pei since he was a child, so the relationship between father and son was very deep.

"After my cousin left, I was originally worried that my father wouldn't be able to bear it. But then I saw that everything was normal with him, so I relaxed my guard. Little did I know that I was afraid that by the time my cousin left, my father would no longer have any attachment to this world. ”

Pei Jun cried so much that he couldn't help himself. He chatted with Sister Qing about his father: "My father was a capable man. It's a pity that he was a hero and left alone like this."

Sister Qing has been loved by this cousin since she was a child. She loves this uncle even more than her biological father.

She comforted Pei Jun sadly and said, "He can see his mother again when he gets downstairs. This time, they will never have to be separated."

Even when her mother left, she still left many last words. Sister Qing was very unacceptable for her cousin to leave so quietly. She asked Pei Jun: "No matter how hard you think about it, my cousin left." Before I left, I didn’t say anything to you.”

"Father has been as usual, and he really hasn't said anything special to me." He thought about it carefully, and then said: "Only the night when my cousin was buried, my father sat outside alone for a long time after he returned, and I accompanied him silently. , listening to my father murmuring, 'She has always been timid, and now she will be scared when she goes to such a strange place alone.'"

After hearing this, Sister Qing burst into tears.

She choked and said: "Then I understand."

Pei Jun asked: "What does cousin understand?"

Sister Qing replied: "My cousin's ancestral home is in the capital. After his death, he should be buried back to the Pei family's ancestral mausoleum. But in his heart, he should want to be with my mother. I think this is his only wish, so , I want to bury him next to my mother.”

Pei Jun was surprised: "This is against the rules."

Sister Qing replied: "It is against the rules for my mother to be buried in Yizhou, but my cousin did it anyway in order to help her achieve her wish."

Pei Jun nodded and said, "I understand."

The two siblings were discussing the posthumous affairs of Marquis Pei and sorting out Marquis Pei's belongings. Pei Jun took out a wooden box from the small cabinet beside his father's bedside, handed it to Sister Qing and said, "I often see my father playing with it." Looking at the things inside, I don’t know what they are?”

“It must be something related to my mother.” Sister Qing slowly opened the wooden box, which contained some scattered things. There are two clay dolls, made to look cute and naive, a boy and a girl, smiling innocently. However, due to their age, the colors on these two clay dolls have faded slightly, but the clay is smooth and clean. It was obviously caused by being rubbed repeatedly.

Sister Qing held the two dolls in her hands and looked at them carefully, as if she had seen the happy time between her mother and her affectionate childhood sweetheart, the cousin of the Pei family.

Pei Jun saw that she was fascinated. He took one of the pottery pots, looked at it carefully, and said casually: "The workmanship of this pottery pottery is mediocre, and it is not a high-end product."

Sister Qing put away the two dolls and replied, "Cousin Pei or my mother should have made this when they were children."

As she spoke, she carefully put away the two dolls and murmured: "This is my cousin's favorite gadget. When my cousin is buried, I will put this in his coffin."

"There is another letter here." Pei Jun picked out the letter from the box and looked at it, then handed it to Sister Qing and said, "The envelope is signed. It was written by my cousin to my father."

Sister Qing opened the letter and found that it was indeed written by her mother to her cousin from the Pei family.

Cousin Pei:

I heard that my mother and concubine have arranged a marriage for you. My cousin has already reached the age of marriage and should marry a wife. Pingyang just wants to advise my cousin that when it comes to marriage, you have to follow your heart. If you marry a wife, you must love it. Don't do it. In order to care about his mother and concubine, he wronged himself.

 Cousin Pingyang.

The letter is very short, with only a few words, but the concern in the words is beyond words.

 Pingyang herself has experienced the misfortune of marriage, so she doesn't want her cousin to make the same mistake. It can be seen that in Pingyang's heart, although she later realized that the person she liked was Pei Yunqian, she still hoped that he would marry a beautiful woman and have a happy marriage.

It's a pity that Pei Yunqian said sincerely. He identified Pingyang and couldn't look at others.

Sister Qing closed the letter and saw that there was still a page in the envelope. She opened it carefully and saw that it was Pei Yunqian's handwriting.

 Written a poem: Guan Guan Jujiu, on the island of the river, a graceful lady, a gentleman is fond of asking for what he wants, he cannot get what he wants, he sleeps hard and thinks about it, he travels leisurely, tossing and turning.

This is the reply Pei Yunqian wrote after receiving Pingyang's letter. He used this poem to express his love for Pingyang and his regret that he could not get his love.

 It was a pity that the beautiful woman was already married and had children. He knew that everything was irreversible, so he wrote a reply, but he did not send it to her after all.

Pei Jun looked at the sad words on the paper and said, "How about taking this letter from my father, which was not sent to my cousin, and burn it in front of my aunt's grave, so that he can read it if he has a soul in heaven."

"No need." Sister Qing sighed, carefully folded the unsent letter and her mother's letter to Marquis Pei, put them into the envelope, and then replied to Pei Jun: "They are already here now." We'll meet again in heaven, so I'd better let my cousin tell my mother personally."

The spring breeze is warm, and the Poinciana tree planted by Pei Yunqian himself in front of the Pingyang Mausoleum blooms one after another in the wind. The fiery red flowers are densely packed, swaying and laughing in the wind.

Amidst such a sea of ​​fiery red flowers, the two tombs next to each other are no longer lonely.

The ending of this life of Pingyang and Cousin Pei has been written. It’s a very poignant love. I can’t help but cry every day when I write their story. Cousin Pei is affectionate, while Pingyang is simple and kind. They are really very good, but It's a pity that I missed it in this life.

Fortunately, their lovers finally got married in the next life. This time, Pingyang was reborn, and she finally grasped happiness tightly.

Tomorrow I will start writing about the afterlife of Pingyang and Cousin Pei, to relieve the depression of Baozi and I.

See you tomorrow!
