Wishing You Eternal Happiness

This night, Jia Fu and Mrs. Meng slept with each other. She was hugged by her mother and curled up in her warm arms, as if she had been back in her childhood.

What has happened in the past few days has turned around. Just this morning, when the wife of Pei’s family came up and asked her mother to go back and reconsider the marriage, at that moment, she thought that everything was back to the starting point, her heart sank quickly, but she did not expect that the next moment, the mother actually Speaking, he refused Mrs. Xin's initiative to show her favor.

Gaffer knew her mother. She is knowledgeable, gentle and virtuous, familiar with women's training. When her father was alive, her father was her god. After her father was gone, in front of the strong grandmother, she obeyed, never questioned or resisted at all, and started from the memory of Jia Fu , She was also asked by her mother to grow up.

She hugged her mother tightly: "Mother, you rejected them today. If you go back, if your grandmother blames you, I will be with you!"

"Silly nun, what's up to you? Your grandmother wants to blame, let her blame me, mother is not afraid. I can see clearly, no matter how high the family is, it is not your good marriage. Let you marry in this way. , My mother is not at ease."

Jiafu's nose was slightly sour, she put her face in her mother's arms, closed her eyes, and said vaguely: "Mother, you are so kind to me."

Mrs. Meng smiled, rubbed the soft black hair that her daughter threw on the pillow, and seemed to vaguely smell the scent of milk that she had exuded in her arms when she was young.

"Mother, in this life, there is nothing else, I only hope that you and your brother will be well. As long as you are all well, my mother will be satisfied."

The mother's gentle but powerful words accompanied Jiafu to a good night's sleep.

After returning from Xishan Temple, it has been so long, this is the longest sleep she has had the most peace of mind. The next day I slept enough and woke up. It was three poles in the sun, and my mother was gone. Sandalwood said that his wife was busy getting people to pack up early in the morning, and she was planning to leave for Quanzhou in the next few days.

After Jia Fu freshened up, she went to help her mother.

This trip to Beijing, originally planned to stay for at least a few months, but also to spend the year here, so when I came, I brought enough utensils and utensils, just a box for clothes, there were more than a dozen mouthfuls. , Just two days ago, they were all put in place. Today, they will put them away one by one. The steward Zhang Da and Mother Liu led the servants, and they were busy with each other's internal and external affairs. Three days passed in a blink of an eye, Mrs. Xin's side. There was nothing more.

In Mrs. Xin's opinion, it is a great honor to propose marriage again on his own initiative, but he did not expect to be rejected by Mrs. Meng. It is unavoidable to be a little embarrassed and angry to be rejected by Mrs. Meng. I haven't made a big appearance these days. Pei Xiuzhi has only been here once, and it seems that he still wants to try to recover.

Xu was exhausted and busy a few days ago. Mrs. Meng accidentally caught the wind and cold yesterday. Knowing that Pei Xiuzhi was here, she still received him personally. Pei Xiuzhi sent away politely.

Afterwards, Mother Liu murmured in front of Jiafu, saying that when Shizi Pei was gone, she looked disappointed and looked a bit pitiful. It's a pity that if he didn't have the Song family's mother-in-law who caused trouble, he would be a handsome talent alone.

After hearing this, Jia Fu smiled faintly.

Yes, if it hadn't been for her personal experience, how could she believe that such a husband who loved her so much would give her to another man twice.

Under power, he Pei Xiuzhi is nothing but a kneeling bone.

After Pei Xiuzhi went that time, he did not reappear. According to the second wife of the Pei family, Meng Shi, who came to the door, he was told about the Zhen family in private and was reprimanded by Madam Xin and ordered him not to come over again.

Meng has been really diligent in the past two days. Not only did he bring various gossips to the sick Mrs. Meng, he also enthusiastically helped the directors, and pointed out which local specialties in Beijing are worth buying and bringing back to give away. They are also affectionate for Jiafu. , There is no grudge.

Mrs. Meng has always been kind to others. Although she was cold-hearted this time, she was her own sister after all. Meng took the initiative to change her attitude. Naturally, she would not refuse people thousands of miles away. Restored the former harmony.

Tomorrow, the Zhen family will leave Beijing. In the evening, the second lady came in the carriage again with a smile. This time she took the life of Mrs. Pei and brought her a reward for Jiafu, saying that she was going to Beijing this time. In order to pray for her birthday, she was frightened for no reason. She was leaving now, and she was shocked. The road went smoothly, and she would return home soon.

Mrs. Meng was grateful to the old lady from the heart. Today, she felt that she was finally more refreshed. She thought that she should personally bring a pair of children to the old man and bow her head to others. It was only because of the incident the other day. It just passed, I was afraid of embarrassment, just now I was thinking about this in my heart, and I was about to ask someone to send a post first, to explore my mouth, but I did not expect the old lady to call her sister first. She was grateful and ashamed, and said: "My sister has gone back and asked for me, can you ask me to take my children and give her the old man a kowtow?"

The second wife smiled and said: "The old lady knows that, she specifically asked me to tell you that she took it so that you don't have to be troublesome and kowtow. I have to go tomorrow, and there must be a lot of things in the evening. Clean up and rest early. Energetic is important. What's more, the old lady has something to do with herself."

Mrs. Meng asked what was the matter, and the second lady said, "Tomorrow is the death day of Empress Duanhui. Every year on this day, the old lady will do a ritual for her in Ci'en Temple. I didn’t just go there in person a few days ago. It’s just to ask the monks to make enough preparations to avoid time lag. The uncle who just came back from Dafang, I heard that he has been in the southwest for these years, and he will leave two days ago. His aunt will leave after finishing the ritual..."

She leaned to Mrs. Meng’s ear and lowered her voice: “If the old lady is partial, the most powerful thing is the missing aunt. It’s been so many years, every year. It’s true. The queen’s daughter, if it were not for her fate, she would have left before leaving a prince. Now who has the final say, it’s impossible to say!"

Her tone was full of regrets and regrets.

The implication of the second lady is that if the empress of Yuan Dynasty gave birth to a prince, with her position in the central palace and the love of Emperor Tianxi, the son will definitely be established as the prince, and the prince will inherit the throne, and everything will go smoothly. Dangdang, then there would be no such thing as Emperor Young and King Shun'an becoming emperors, and the Pei family will not fall to this point.

When it came to the court, Mrs. Meng responded vaguely twice, and the second wife accepted the words and said something else. She got up and said goodbye. If she was free, she would bring her son to see him off tomorrow morning. He resigned, and finally called the children together, sent away the second lady, and told her to go back and thank the old lady on her behalf.

There was no more words in the night. The next day, two trusted old servants stayed behind to guard the house, and the rest of the Zhen family were busy preparing to leave Beijing. Although I got up early, since yesterday, many things have been moved early, but it is not too early when everything that should be carried on board is on the boat. Only a moment is left when I am about to leave, only to find that Zhen Yaoting is not on the boat. , His little servant fell down and was asked by Mrs. Meng, and said: "The son left early in the morning. He told me that if he didn't return after the ship was sent, he would tell me to speak with his wife and wait for him to return. Let's go again. As for where the son went, he didn't tell me."

Mrs. Meng didn’t want to stay any longer, and she wanted to go back to Quanzhou before the end of the year, so she was leaving today despite her lack of health. Unexpectedly, her son was gone again, so she had no choice but to hold off and asked someone to disembark and search nearby. I searched all possible places and didn't see anyone else. My original anger gradually became anxious. Knowing that the relationship between brothers and sisters had always been close, I asked Kaf if she knew where her brother would go in the morning.

Gaffer had been thinking about this just now. Finally remembered one thing.

The day before yesterday, my elder brother tried to find herself and sneaked her to an unpopulated corner. After hesitating for a long time, he said it out. It turned out that I wanted her to think of a way to call out the jade beads in front of the old lady. I'm leaving, I want to talk to her.

Gaffer looked out, and his brother thought a little about Yuzhu. But my elder brother, who is eighteen years old, is still very playful. He often hangs up with a bunch of elder brothers in Quanzhou City. Needless to say, I didn't expect it long ago. I am also lacking in interest in business, and when it comes to it, I want to go to sea with the fleet. The Zhen family only has a single seedling for him. How can his grandmother and mother let him aboard? Earlier, he booked a marriage for him, and wanted to borrow to get a family to make him feel at ease. Originally, he got married earlier this year and didn't want the wife to die and delay the marriage. He didn't have the heart and continued to linger all day, instead of walking around. , Just quietly ran to the dock. This time, I was moved to Yuzhu. It must have happened on a whim, and it will be cold after a few days. No matter how confused Gaffer is, he won’t be able to help his brother with this kind of thing. Go away in surprise. I remembered that when my aunt came over yesterday, she mentioned that Mrs. Pei would go to Ci'en Temple again today.

Did my brother quietly go to Ci'en Temple this morning, looking for Yuzhu?

The more Gaffer thought about it, the more possible it became, so he said it. Mrs. Meng was taken aback, and said in air: "What is he trying to do? I am so angry that I can't do it? No, I have to go!" She was about to go out when she got up, suddenly felt dizzy and closed her eyes.

Jiafu hurriedly helped her sit back and said: "Mother, don't worry, it's just my guess, maybe I was wrong. Your body is not well, just wait here, maybe brother I’ll come back wherever I am. I’ll take a trip over there. I know the way and let Uncle Zhang send me there. If my brother does go there, I’ll bring him back. If I offend Yuzhu, I’ll do it for him. I'm sorry to Yuzhu."

Madam Meng calmed down and said, "I will let Mother Liu accompany you again. Go and return quickly. Be careful on the road."

Jiafu agreed, and asked Zhang Da to prepare the carriage. Accompanied by Mother Liu and Sandalwood, he got into the carriage and rushed to Ci'en Temple. After learning that the ceremonies were being carried out in the Great Hall, he hurried over. I stopped, saying that the inside was doing the ritual of Duanhui Xianyuanhou, and the deacon **** also came to the palace, and no outsiders could enter.

Jiafu had a feeling that his brother Zhen Yaoting must be here, but he didn't know where he was at the moment. Fearing that he would make trouble again, he was anxious, looked around, suddenly saw a familiar figure walking here, his heart jumped slightly, hesitated, or rushed to meet him, stopped in front of the person, blessed Yifu said: "Big cousin, I want to find girl Yuzhu, there is something wrong, if it is not convenient for me to go in, can I bother girl Yuzhu come out?"

Pei Youan stopped for a while, glanced at her, and said, "Follow me."

Gaffer thanked him in a low voice, and didn't know if he heard it, a light wisp of clothing blew across the door, and the others walked past him.

Jiafu turned around hurriedly, followed in with sandalwood.
