Wishing You Eternal Happiness

Yupei didn't see Li Yuangui taking it back, and Jiafu couldn't help asking each other, and went back to the Guogong Mansion after leaving the palace.

Mrs. Xin and the second room had known that she was picked up by a palace chariot, and they all noticed secretly. Seeing her back now, there were girls and women from those two places wiping over. The maid-in-law in the courtyard asked for the news, and soon everyone in the Guogong Mansion knew that the grandma was about to leave Beijing to go to the north.

This time, although everyone is spreading that Pei Youan was guilty of the emperor and was sent out, but in the end, neither the Ministry of Justice nor the Dali Temple have issued any documents about this. The source of all the rumors is also However, it started from a few backs that were seen early that morning, so it was not completely certain that this matter was true before. After all, with the close relationship between the emperor and Pei Youan in the past, such things happened overnight, it is true. Incredible. But this was the real news, and there was another commotion secretly in the Guogong Mansion. After a short while, Meng from the second room came and confirmed the news to Jiafu, showing sympathy, comforting a few words, and saying The second master just asked her to bring a message, saying that if something goes wrong, it is useless to be sad, so that she can relax and take care of her body on the road. When she gets there, after some time, Long live forgiveness is just around the corner and stays for a while. , Said when to leave, come to see her by yourself. Jiafu thanked him and sent her out.

Jiafu had previously learned from Li Yuangui that Pei Youan had been sent to Suye City, Ganzhou. It was such a coincidence that it was the place where he last passed away in the previous life, and he couldn't care about feelings. He only became more impatient, wishing to leave immediately tonight, and when Meng was gone, he immediately packed up his clothes.

When Pei Youan left the customs this time, he was not taking office as an official. The Huaqiuli clothes that the two had made were not easy to bring. They turned the boxes and cabinets and picked up some thick ordinary winter clothes, fearing that they were not enough, and immediately started cutting clothes. , I use ordinary clothes, and the best warm silk floss is stuffed in the clip. In the courtyard, all the girls with good needlework are here, sitting around them, you sew the sleeves, I will make the face, and fly the needle overnight. But overnight, several new warm clothes were made and packed into boxes one by one.

The next morning, the bags were almost packed. Li Yuangui didn't say that the emperor would not allow her to take servants, that is, she could take them. Sandalwood and Muxiang were of the right age. They had served Jiafu for many years, and they wanted to go with him. Mother Liu also really loved Jiafu and wanted to go there, but Jiafu was persuaded to leave and asked her to return to Quanzhou to bring her a letter. Mother, told her to live in Quanzhou in the future.

Grandma Liu held Jiafu's hand, chattering, and instructed the sandalwood incense to serve the grandmother. When it came to sadness, the circles under her eyes were red, and everyone had tears in their eyes.

A room was feeling sad, and a woman next to Mrs. Xin came over.

Gaffer wiped her tears and called the woman in.

The mother-in-law came in, looked at the baggage of the box on the ground, smiled on her face, and bowed: "Grandma, when you were away a few days ago, there was a fire in the original warehouse in our mansion. It was in time, but the house was damaged a bit, and it is no longer usable now. Madam thought, if it were to be renovated, it would be another sum of money. The big yard by the bridge has been empty for so many years, so it’s a pity to leave it alone. Yes, what the madam means, the uncle will come back in the future, and I don’t think he will move there again, so I want to vacate the old things in it, reorganize it a little, and change it into a warehouse to save a lot of money. .While the grandma is still at home, send me a message, telling someone to move the old things inside, which are still useful, and if they are useless, they will be taken away."

That Lianqiao South Yard was where Pei Youan lived when he was young. Before getting married, the old lady allocated this small yard on her north house to live in the couple. Although they didn't live back there, there were still many books and other miscellaneous things that Pei Youan had collected since childhood. If you really want to move, it will not be emptied within a few days.

Gaffer was silent for a moment, and said faintly: "It's okay to change to a warehouse. I'll go and see, don't break the books, and move them all over here." He took a few people to the courtyard, but they hadn't arrived yet. At the door, I saw a pile of tables and chairs moved from the inside on the road outside. The courtyard door was open. The courtyard was also full of tables, chairs, and bookcases cleared from the house. A pile of books was scattered on the ground, girl-in-law. Going in and out, busy moving things, the woman named Ye next to Mrs. Xin was standing on the steps, and she was commanding the women to lift the bookshelves out loudly. The books that were not taken down all fell to the ground.

"Deadly! Come and help support—"

The woman who carried the bookshelf shouted loudly, and the crowds from the side swarmed up, stepping on the books that fell on the ground with seven or eight feet, and finally lifted the large bookshelf to the open space.

Gaffer walked over, squatted down, and picked up a book on the ground with a black footprint.

The book is very old, the pages are yellowed, and there are words familiar to Gaffer, and the sentences are long or short. It is a note left by Pei Youan when he was a teenager.

Gaffer carefully dusted off the mud on it, and picked up the books on the ground one by one.

Upon seeing this, the old lady Ye came over to help pick up the book, and said with a smile: "Grandma, are you here? Look, these things, which ones are needed, I ask someone to pack them and send them to your yard."

Gaffer folded several books in his hand, put them on the table aside, straightened up, and said coldly, "I want them all! Even this yard, I also want them! Bring all the things back to me, and the things will be theirs. Bit. How to move out, just move back to me!"

Everyone stopped, looking at each other.

Granny Ye was taken aback for a moment, and said with a smile: "Grandma, aren't you embarrassing me? I'm also doing things according to Madam's wishes."

Gaffer looked around at the girl-in-laws around and sneered: "You are forgiving the uncle and you just left, and you won't be able to come back later. This is a terrible mess, isn't it? I tell you that the uncle today is If you lose your power, no one can see the future! I advise you to look at the long-term, don’t steal fuel, just follow the master, and only see the two inches in front of you! This life will still grow. If anyone dares to step on something in this courtyard again today, wait for me. If you step on a foot today, I will let you know from now on, I am not a mud man of Buddha's mind and nature!"

The yard became silent. After a while, the women hurried up, picked up all the books on the ground, and said: "Don't blame the grandma, it was just a momentary carelessness."

Jiafu turned to Ye Pozi: "Are you moving? If you don't move, I will ask someone to move." Turning around, she ordered Mother Liu to call in all the people in the yard. Mother Liu responded and turned and went quickly. Jiafu didn't care about Old Lady Ye either, and continued to pack the messy books all over the floor.

With a smirk on her face, Old Lady Ye moved quietly away from the side, reached the door, and hurried away.

Gaffer directed the people to organize the books that had been moved out. The desks, chairs and bookcases were dusted, and they moved back again and again. She was busy, and Mrs. Xin was accompanied by Ye Pozi and others and walked in. Frowned, and said unhappily: "What do you say? I saw that this place has been empty for so many years, and the boss used to be at home, but now the home is not what it used to be. I thought it could save a few points, so I asked people to vacate them. . Didn’t you also ask what you mean?"

The servants of a yard stopped what they were doing. Jia Fu walked over and said lightly: "I'm about to go to my mother-in-law. In this yard, my husband will come back in the future. Even if I don't need it, I have to ask him what he meant. There is a collection of books accumulated over the years, and there are too many clutter. Moving around, in case of damage. Mother-in-law wants to open up a warehouse, and there is not no empty house at home. Please mother-in-law to find another suitable place."

Mrs. Xin stared at Jiafu: "Do you still have my mother-in-law in your eyes? You An is here, but it's vacant for the courtyard. If you want to come, he won't talk to me like you!"

"Mother-in-law also remembers her husband's goodness. Now that other people are not at home, she asks her mother-in-law not to touch his things. If her mother-in-law is dissatisfied with me, she will wait for him to come back in the future and ask him to divorce me!"

After Jiafu finished speaking, she turned her head and ordered Mother Liu to continue moving things with the people she had brought. Mother Liu replied loudly, gave Madam Xin a cross, and the commander continued, and the yard became busy again.

Madam Xin was speechless for a while, her face turned red and white, but she was helpless.

Gaffer looked at the woman in front of him coldly, and suddenly felt the kind of joy that he felt when fighting with people in Mengmu Department. The bad breath in his heart seemed to be relieved a little bit, so he ignored it. Yu she, she continued to organize the books and was busy, a girl quickly ran in and shouted: "There is someone in the palace, Long live Lord has given a reward!"

Mrs. Xin was surprised and couldn't take care of it anymore, and hurriedly turned her head to ask who the reward was for. The girl shook her head blankly.

After thinking about it, he should only have his own son. Madam Xin stared at Jia Fu, left this place, and hurriedly turned away.

What Jiafu listened to was a reward, and naturally he couldn't fight with him. Anyway, he had torn his face with the emperor, and he was leaving tomorrow. Unexpectedly, after a while, the girl ran back quickly and shouted: "Grandma, this is your reward for grandma, grandma go!"

Mother Liu and the others were so surprised that they looked at Jiafu one after another.

Jiafu hurried to the front hall, and it was Cui Yinshui who came to see a few small eunuchs, carrying a box of golden snails covered in yellow silk. Mrs. Xin, Lady Na Ye and others were also there, and their expressions were quite different than before.

Cui Yinshui's tone stretched: "Zhen's listen to appreciation."

Jia Fu knelt down, and the others followed along and listened.

The emperor rewarded Jiafu five hundred taels of silver, ramies Luo, yarn, and brocade. After Cui Yinshui finished reading the list, he took a box from a young eunuch, held it up, and said with a smile: "Zhen, this is a box of high-grade Yushu Cordyceps that Qinghai has just tributed this year. It has been collected in a year. For this, Long live also rewarded you. Thank you."

Jia Fu thanked her, received the reward, sent away the eunuch, and came back again. Mrs. Xin had already pushed herself away from her discomfort, and no one was seen. The women and girls who met along the way, met Jia Fu, all respectful, all clamoring for grandma, It seems to be back to the time before.

People are cold and warm, and the world is scorching. In just half a day, a good show was staged in this mansion. Jiafu didn't care about it either, and returned to the courtyard, and saw that there had been a lot of servants in it, all vying to do things, even the second room also came. When everything was back to the original state, Gaffer looked around, closed the doors and windows with his own hands, locked the doors, and turned to leave.

Before passing by the big tree that was said to have been hanged, Jiafu stopped for a while, turned around and said, "Cut down the tree and dig out the roots!"

...

On the second day, Gaffer left the capital in a carriage with a heavy army of nearly a hundred people sent outside the pass, and embarked on the road to the north.

Yang Yun also protects her.

She left Beijing in early November. On this day, it has been almost a month since Pei Youan left Beijing.

This army is transporting a batch of urgently needed medicinal materials to the border town of Ganzhou, and the speed is not slow. According to the plan, it will be there before mid-December. At first, the journey went smoothly. After a month of trekking, Jia Fu arrived in Suzhou with the army. The leader of the centurion told her that after passing Suzhou, he went hundreds of miles to the northwest and crossed a section of the Tianshan Mountains for about ten days. You will be able to reach Suye City in Ganzhou within a short distance.

The trek was not unbelievable, and Jiafu's feet had already developed frostbite because of the long-delayed carriage and the severe cold weather, but she didn't feel any pain at all. She knew that she would arrive soon, and was full of expectation. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the weather suddenly became bad. When passing through the Tianshan Ridge Road, a heavy snow covered the sky and the ground. Within two days, it covered the ancient road that was slowly stepped on by soldiers and horses for thousands of years. Submerged the high plateaus and ravines between the mountains. Can't find the way, one accidentally fell into a cliff and abyss. The team was forced to stop in a sheltered mountain col. After stopping for seven or eight days, the heavy snow finally stopped. The forward soldiers searched for the way, walked and stopped. It took a few more days to finally get out of this mountain trail, and finally arrived at Suye City, it was the end of the year, the sky was snowing, and the wind was roaring, and within a few days, it was New Year's Eve.

Suye is a thousand-year-old land, but it used to be just a stop on the Western Trade Road. Due to its location, there are lakes running down from beautiful aquatic plants and Tianshan spring water. Later, I don’t know which dynasty began, and the imperial court built soil as a city, and gradually settled here. A large population has been raised. Today, it has become one of the important cities used by the Ganzhou garrison to resist the Hu people. There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians. There is the capital of the military and civilians in the city. Did not see her, and did not send anyone to receive her. Jiafu stood in the snow outside the capital, his hands and feet numb. After waiting for a long time, he got news from a veteran of the capital who couldn’t see, saying that Pei Youan has been here for almost two months, but no one is there. In the city, I went to the stockyard outside the city.

The old guard said that he had been here for decades, so he knew something. This Hu Liangcai’s father was also a subordinate of Wei Guogong in his early years. Because he violated military discipline and was sentenced to military punishment, Hu Liangcai was very concerned. He was polite and sent him to the stockyard to take care of him.

This position seems to be free, but it is actually a hard job. The place is far away from the city, and the surrounding is desolate. In the stockyard, in addition to the forage that supplies all the army horses here, it also accepts sick and weak war horses. There are only a few old, weak and sick soldiers under his staff. When encountering a boss who intends to make things difficult, he can be held accountable at any time on the grounds that the horse is weak or dying.

Jiafu thanked the old man, came back, and asked Yang Yun to find the centurion who was walking along the way, and asked him to send someone to lead the way, and send him to the racecourse outside the city. Reception, the people went to hand over the medicinal materials, and they did not return until the evening.

In other words, if she waited for the centurion to return, she would be the fastest, and she would not be able to leave until tomorrow.

Gaffer only felt that he couldn't wait for a moment, and could not wait to fly over immediately. He hurried back and looked for the old man again, begging him to lead the way for him, and then go there immediately. The old man just finished the handover and agreed. Yang Yun drove the carriage, and the old man sat beside him. Jia Fu and the two girls were sitting in the carriage with luggage, several people and a car, outside this northwestern isolated city. In the heavy snow, he staggered towards the depths of the wilderness.

Jiafu imagined seeing Pei Youan and slapped the letter on his face severely. Even though his hands and feet were already stiff, he didn't feel the slightest pain. After going all the way, for a long time, in the evening, when the carriage suddenly stopped, the horses neighed and stopped.

Gaffer poked her head out and found that the horse was tilted and its front hoofs plunged deep into the snow nest. Yang Yun went down and checked, saying that the horse's hoof had stepped into a pit buried deep in the snow, and his front hoof was broken and he could not go.

The old man said that it was getting dark soon, or he could only turn his head, and there was a place to rest nearby, so he should go and settle down first.

When Jiafu asked about the way to the racecourse, the old man said that there was still eight or nine miles away.

Gaffer looked at the heavy snow ahead, and said, "Just a little bit of the way, walk over!"

Yang Yun couldn’t persuade him, but he had no choice but to lead the injured horses and carts to the side of the road first. Jia Fu and the two girls carried a light burden, and under the leadership of the old man, they stepped deeply and lightly. To the snow on the calf, against the wind and snow, step by step forward.

When Jiafu finally stood in front of the fence gate of the stockyard, it was late at night.

The sky was dark and heavy snow was flying. She didn't know how many times she slipped and fell along the way, and her body was covered with ice and snow.

An old man yawned and opened the door, and learned that Pei Youan’s wife had come, staring at Jiafu like a snowman, the boss with an open mouth, after a long time had a reaction, raised a lantern, and hurriedly led her in. Passing through the rows of warehouses used as warehouses, finally stopped, pointed to the end of the rows of houses, and said: "Master Pei lives there."

It was a row of dilapidated rooms, dark and lacquered, only in the direction the old **** was pointing, a dim yellow light was faintly showing through the windows.

"Master Pei is really good to the horses. After coming, the sick horses here have recovered a lot. Even though I am sick, I have been coughing more and more in the past few days."

The old man murmured in a low voice.

Jiafu was trembling all over, settled, and turned his head to let Yang Yun find a place to settle down the sandalwood and woody incense on his frozen face, and walked quickly toward the direction of the light.

She stepped on the snow on the ground and walked away quickly, faster and closer.

About to walk to the door, but slowed down again, and finally stopped.

The heavy snow fell silently from the depths of the endless sky of night, all around it was pitch black, only a few dim lights were scattered in the door and window in front of him.

The doors and windows are very old, and there are cracks everywhere between the gaps in the wood. Gaffer held his breath, suppressed the heart that was about to jump out of his throat, and slowly came to the dilapidated window, looked in through the crack in the wood.

In the corner of the house, there is a bed, a table, a stool, and a stove, nothing more than that. The fire in the furnace was dim and weak, and it looked like it was about to go out.

He hadn't seen him for more than half a year. He was so thin, pale, and wearing an old robe. Sitting at the table, with the dim soy lamp at the corner of the table, he lowered his head as if transcribing the stack of account books at hand.

After writing for a while, he suddenly coughed, showing a slight pain on his face, then stopped writing, got up, bent over to lift the kettle, as if he wanted to pour water.

Suddenly, as if he had sensed something, he stopped, slowly straightened his body, turned his head, and cast his two eyes in the direction of the window where Jia Fu was.

"Who is out?"

He asked, his voice slightly hoarse, but extremely calm.
