Wishing You Eternal Happiness

The male guests and the servants evaded first, and the carriages stopped one by one before the door of Pei's house.

According to the original arrangement, Mrs. Pei took her two grandchildren in the same car. Jiafu and Yuzhu escorted the old lady up, while Madam Xin and Madam Meng were behind, and they were sitting still, but Zhou Jiao'e was still missing.

The second wife joked: "Sister-in-law, your new daughter-in-law and second child are still reluctant to come out in the room right now? It's not just the new wife, and I haven't seen the second child. That's the case for the newly married Yaner."

Mrs. Xin probably felt a little bit awkward on her face, and she looked a little sullen, and ordered a girl next to her to take a look. After she finished her order, she turned her head and saw Zhou Jiao'e and Pei Xiuzhi coming from the second door. Zhou Jiao'e was dressed up and charming, leaning enchantingly against Pei Xiuzhi, but Pei Xiuzhi's face was extremely reluctant. He looked up and saw everyone looking over, raising his foot to wait for Zhou Jiao'e to leave, but she seemed to be summoned by her. Reluctantly, he finally reached the carriage with her, Fang guilty of being late.

The second wife smiled more cordially, praised the young couple's affection and envied others. Pei Xiuzhi's expression was extremely stiff, and his smile was uglier than crying, but Zhou Jiao'e seemed to be faint, until the old lady said "Come up" in the carriage. In contrast, he sat on the other side of the old lady.

After getting in the car, Zhou Jiao'e made amends to the old lady who was waiting for her. The faint meaning was that she was too late because she was entangled by Pei Xiuzhi early in the morning.

The old lady just smiled and said nothing.

The morning light is faint. Under the enviable gaze of passers-by in the morning, the Pei family's travel queue, which is a few arrows from the end to the end, moves along the street, and the endless wealth of fragrant dust travels out of the north of the city, towards the kindness. Away from the temple.

Jiafu is no stranger to the Temple of Mercy, and counting, this is the third time she has been here.

Pei Mansion is going to have a longevity, and today the entire temple is covered, and there is no other pilgrim. When he arrived, he was welcomed in by the monks waiting outside the mountain gate. The female relatives changed their clothes and settled down a little bit, and then began the ritual. The eldest grandson Pei Youan presided over the memorial tablet. The people of the Pei family recommended the memorial tablet. After the prostration, the 49 monks in the main hall chanted the confession, and the side hall was placed on the side of the vegetarian table. The running water entertained those guests who came one after another, and the scene was extremely lively.

Jiafu listened to the old lady in the main hall until noon, the ceremonial service was suspended and used the fast food, because some Beppu female family members also came in the morning, and Mrs. Xin and Mrs. Meng were busy welcoming and sending them. Busy, so I sent the old lady to a quiet back room that was paved, and waited and rested. The old lady told her to go and rest too, so she didn’t have to guard her, Jiafu responded, and when she came out, she listened to people. The newspaper said that Mrs. Qin Guogong was also here, and only then asked about the grandmother. Thinking of the two sitting together at Zhang's house that night, it was quite easy to talk. She came and asked herself if she would not meet, so she took sandalwood and went forward.

It was noon at this moment, the weather was hot, and the sun was scorching hot above his head. Jia Fu picked up a side hall with a verandah and walked away. The monks in the temple also went to eat and rest at this moment, and there was no half of them around. Ying, turned a corner, and suddenly saw the opposite head, Pei Xiuzhi and Zhou Jiao'e came out of the companion hall. The two seemed to have just quarreled inside. Pei Xiuzhi had a gloomy face and walked fast, with Zhou Jiao'e behind. Chasing, holding a veil in his hand, seemingly unwilling, continue to catch up and argue with him.

Gaffer was afraid of embarrassment, so he hurried back. Because of the different directions, he wanted to wait for the two to go first before moving on. I didn't want the two of them to take a few steps, but stopped again, and the dispute became louder. Pei Xiuzhi said that if he hadn't seen it through, she had been blinded by her at this moment, Zhou Jiao'e sobbed and started crying, scolding him for spitting blood and having no conscience.

Hearing the two people quarrel, Jiafu didn't seem to know how long it was going to quarrel, and was about to turn around and leave when he heard Madam Xin's voice coming over. Unable to help curiosity, he turned his head and motioned for Sandalwood to silence, and he quietly poked his head out again. Sure enough, seeing Mrs. Xin hurriedly over, he sent away the few girls who were accompanying him. Sheng, scolded his son, and comforted Zhou Jiao'e.

Zhou Jiao'e cried and became a person of tears. While wiping her tears, she choked up and said: "Mother, you have also seen it. Since I am married, I want to live my life well. He looks at me and it is not pleasing to my eyes. Bones, it’s about looking for me every day. If he doesn’t like me, I don’t want to rely on your family. I’ll go to the Queen’s wife and let her be the master.

Mrs. Xin hugged her in a hurry, and kept saying my heart and soul, soothing in every way, and making her son apologize to her. Pei Xiuzhi looked very unwilling, but couldn't help Mrs. Xin, and finally reluctantly asked Zhou Jiao'e to accompany him, Zhou Jiao'e. This gradually stopped crying. Mrs. Xin ordered her son to take her to the lunch break first, but Pei Xiuzhi stood still and said that he would go to the front to accompany the guests. Mrs. Xin looked very annoyed, but forced her down and said that the sun is poisonous here, making Zhou Jiao'e. Go back first, and then teach your son a good lesson, let him go back at night, and then make a payment to her.

Pei Xiuzhi's face was pale, but Zhou Jiao'e showed her expression, glanced at her husband, and turned away.

"Mother! She clearly doesn't obey women's way. That night she wanted to fool her by using means, but I saw it through. Why are you still protecting her? I'm going to dice her!"

When Zhou Jiao'e was gone, Pei Xiuzhi yelled at his mother.

Mrs. Xin covered his mouth and looked around.

Gaffer retracted her head hurriedly.

Mrs. Xin pulled Pei Xiuzhi into a corner of Jiaoli and twisted it hard, before she whispered, "Why are you so mindless? You are already married. You are so troublesome, everyone knows." You are the one who is embarrassed!"

Pei Xiuzhi said, "How can a man endure such humiliation? I'm going to divorce her!"

Mrs. Xin was silent, and said, "Xiuzhi, you hate in your heart, why am I not? But now, our wife is helpless, but what she can talk to the queen empress will not be necessary in the future. Count on her family's support, you should endure it."

Pei Xiuzhi's voice was surprised: "Mother, what do you mean by this? Isn't there a brother there?"

Mrs. Xin's face gradually became gloomy, her eyes showed annoyance, she gritted her teeth, and finally made up her mind, attached to her son's ear, and whispered a word.

Jiafu heard Pei Xiuzhi raise suddenly, his voice was full of surprise: "What? Big brother is not your mother's son?"

Mrs. Xin covered her son's mouth and hissed.

Frankly speaking, Jiafu was just having a gossip heart attack, so I just listened to the excitement. Anyway, it won't be spread out. Don't beware, suddenly I heard this sound from Pei Xiuzhi's mouth and immediately pricked his ears.

Mrs. Xin looked around again, dragged her son into the side hall, and closed the door easily.

Gaffer heard the voice disappearing, and the sound of closing the door came. Knowing that the two should enter the companion hall, their hearts were pounding. She couldn't help it. He turned around and signaled that Sandalwood was waiting here. He tipped out of the corner and came. In front of a window, leaned over, restrained his breath, and listened carefully to the voices inside.

Mrs. Xin led her son to a corner of the companion hall, and then said: "Xiuzhi, I didn't dare to tell people about this. If the old lady knows about it, it will be a big deal. But she is not benevolent, regardless of whether our mothers live or die. I'm not righteous if I say it first. After you listened, you know that you have a precaution in your heart, and don't let others know. Pei Youan is now in power, and it is not something that our women can provoke."

Pei Xiuzhi was confused: "Mother, what are you talking about?"

Mrs. Xin went silent and fell into a memory of the past.

Twenty-four years ago, she married Wei Guogong, a handsome and heroic Ruyi Langjun. A few months later, she became pregnant as she wished. But half a year later, one day, Wei Guogong told her that he was in There was a son outside. Just a few days after he was born, his mother was gone. He hoped to make the child live more decently. He planned to take him home and ask her to recognize the child in his own name. He was raised as his own son.

Wei Guogong said that he would raise the child outside first, and then take the child back when she gave birth. At that time, regardless of whether she gave birth to boys or girls, it was said that she gave birth to twins.

Wei Guogong also said that he knew that this was wrong with her, but that child was born weak and very likely to die early. He said that if she was willing to accept, in return for her, he promised her that he would never take a concubine for the rest of his life.

Mrs. Xin was undoubtedly in pain at the time. Her husband had a child with another woman outside, and now she wants her to recognize the child by her own name. But after some struggle, she finally agreed.

Now that the husband spoke like this, if she shouldn't, she would show her narrow-mindedness. If the child really died early, the impact on her own child should be small. In addition, the promise made by Mr. Wei Guo was also one of the reasons she was tempted.

She agreed. On the day of delivery, she gave birth to a daughter. Sure enough, that night, the child was quietly carried back.

When Mrs. Xin saw him at the first glance, she knew that Lord Wei Guo should not lie to herself. The child was born very well. He should have been a few months old, but he was weak and just like a kitten, and it didn't seem to be easy to raise.

At that moment, her feelings for that child were very complicated. In addition to disgust, there was also some pity in my heart. She even thought about raising him well according to her husband's wishes until the day he passed away due to illness.

Her own daughter died soon after. And this child who was originally thought to be unable to survive, was held outside, but it was like a grass in the field, and his vitality was extremely tenacious. Although he stumbled, he slowly grew up.

Mrs. Xin gave birth to her own son the following year. As her son grew up, and the days passed, Mrs. Xin's feelings for that child finally began to change.

Duke Wei Guo did fulfill the promise he made to her at the beginning, and he did not touch another woman until he died on the battlefield sixteen years later. The concubine who came in two years before his death was a military reward from the emperor.

But this is far from making Madam Xin feel psychologically balanced. Duke Wei Guo lied to her after all. The wild boy, not only did not die, but was only four or five years old, he began to show his extraordinary talents. Not only did he account for everything that originally belonged to his son, but in contrast to him, his healthy son seemed so mediocre.

God seems to have given all the gifts and glory to the child with the most humble background.

Mrs. Xin regretted her nodding. Her psychology finally lost its balance completely.

She couldn't help it, and began to hate this child, why he didn't die as early as Wei Guogong said, hate him for taking everything from her son, this hatred has been lingering on her, she lingers until now .

Now besides hate, she also felt panic.

That night, what the son said in front of her made her suddenly realize.

It turns out that Pei Youan knew that he was not his biological mother!

He already knows everything!

Thinking of Pei Youan's two eyes looking at her that night, she couldn't help shivering, gritted her teeth and said: "You brother, at the beginning, your father took him back from the outside to put a lowly self-employed son under my name! He didn't know before. It’s nothing more than his life experience. Now it must be learned from your grandmother. Knowing that no matter how good his mouth is, and no matter how good he is doing now, he will hate me deeply in his heart. When your grandmother is gone, how can he treat me well in the future? You and me? You don't want to treat your daughter-in-law, and rely on the empress. In the future, we don't know how our mothers and daughters will die!"

…

The sound of words faintly spread into the ears through the window.

Gaffer was about to jump out of her throat with a heart, and heard footsteps inside, afraid of being found, held her breath, turned around, and quickly returned to the original place, winked at the dazed sandalwood, and led her. Then left in a hurry.

All afternoon, she was in the hall, accompanied by the old lady listening to the Dharma, but her heart was immersed in the few words she heard at noon, and she was confused.

She finally understood why the eldest son was clearly so good, but she still couldn't please her mother.

She was thinking about the ending of Pei Youan's previous life, and thinking about the past when he fell from Yunfeng to the bottom of the mud valley when he was sixteen years old.

Listening to Mrs. Xin's tone, Pei Youan himself knew the secret. However, this man has high mountains and deep waters, and the clouds are light and the wind is light.

Gaffer was extremely sad.

As long as Pei Youan can be happy, she is willing to do everything for him.

Gaffer looked at the Buddha sitting high on the lotus platform overlooking the sentient beings, thinking in her heart.
