Wishing You Eternal Happiness - Chapter 101
Two months later, in the early spring, in the depths of the vast wilderness outside Suye City, the horizon was still white with undissolved snow, but near the city and fireworks, the soil that had been frozen for a long winter was gone. Began to soften slowly. It has been clearing for a few days, and in front of the low house in the stockyard, two days ago, a bunch of moss in the east and a handful in the west have also quietly emerged from the cracks in the stone at the corner of the wall.
After noon, Pei Youan rode Taxue to Suye City. Because of the news, Lord Tang came to Suye City in person, and asked Pei Youan to go there. Shortly after the last battle, Lord Tang sent someone to Suye City to temporarily take over the Dusi Mansion, and Pei Youan returned to the stockyard. While waiting for the follow-up treatment, two months passed without knowing it.
Last time, even though Mrs. Tang had previously instructed Pei Youan to act “cheaply”, but “cheap” to such an extent, to put it seriously, it was a rebellion. During these two months, Lord Tang must have reported the matter to the emperor.
Although instinctively, Jiafu felt that there should be nothing major, and that the emperor wouldn’t cut off Pei Youan’s head anyway, but he couldn’t tell what the emperor was thinking about right now. In case he is still annoyed with Pei Youan, it is not impossible to take the opportunity to put on him a pair of small shoes and get him a crime. So after Pei Youan went, Jiafu was a little nervous, took her son, and two girls in the house to do needlework, killing time. At night, I played with my son for a while. Seeing that he was sleepy, I went to bed to breastfeed. Ci’er was full and gradually fell asleep.
Gaffer leaned against the bed, picked up the tiger-toed shoe that was not finished during the day, and slowly sewed the little tiger on the toe. Suddenly he heard the sound of the door being gently pushed open, turned his head, and saw Pei Youan returned.
Pei Youan took off his coat, washed his hands, came to the bed lightly, leaned over to see his son who had been asleep, gently touched his little face, smiled on his lips, and then sat down on the bed. Reached out his hand towards Gaffer.
Jiafu got into his arms and asked him in a low voice whether he had eaten. He said that he had used it with Mrs. Tang in the city.
Gaffer saw that he seemed to have something to say to herself, so she looked up at him.
Pei Youan’s palm gently stroked her hair hanging around her waist, “Fu’er, I saw the old man during the day. The court allowed him to retire for official duties, and soon the old man will return to the customs and return to his hometown. It’s just… …”
“The imperial court asked Mr. Yu, who could replace him, he recommended me, and the court approved. Today the old man brought the court’s will…”
He paused.
The imperial decree that Mr. Tang read to him today first listed his crimes. The emperor rebuked him for being bold and unpredictable. He said that the original crime was increased by one level and severely punished, but it was a last resort at the time. In the end, he made great contributions and immediately petitioned him to the Jiedu Prefecture in Longyou. It was found out that it was a fair cause, so he was treated lightly and fined him one year’s salary. Because of the strong recommendation of Mr. Tang, and the old man also issued a guarantee, the imperial court decided to adopt the recommendation of the old man and appointed Pei You’an to replace Longyou Jiedu as an envoy. I hope that he will bear the lesson in mind, be loyal to the monarchy, and never fail. The imperial court has high hopes for him, etc.
Gaffer breathed a sigh of relief.
It turns out that I really thought too much.
After leaving the capital for more than a year, this time something like this happened. Not only did the emperor not be guilty of asking the least, but he took advantage of the situation to let him take the post of Jidu Envoy.
Although Pei Youan was an official who died in this life in his previous life, he went around in a circle in this life, and finally he returned to this position. But Gaffer was not worried.
She is convinced that the death of Pei Youan in Su Yecheng in the previous life must be inseparable from Xiao Yintang, which can be inferred from Xiao Yintang’s dream before his death.
In this lifetime, Xiao Yintang was abolished and was imprisoned in Gengzhou, where he wanted to turn over. And the abandoned princess Zhang Fengtong, according to Cui Yinshui, told her that she had given birth to a baby girl before the full moon. Zhang Fengtong was in grief, crying day and night, thinking about her daughter and becoming sick, and finally became mad, not only incontinence, but also In front of the palace, she mixed the filth into the food to eat, everyone was amazed, but she laughed freely, talked to her deceased daughter, and undressed to breastfeed. It had been half a year by then. According to the crime, Zhang Lao, who was originally supposed to be sent to the ancestral land as a prisoner, had returned to his hometown at that time, wrote to the emperor sobbing for help. The emperor ordered the emperor to examine Zhang Fengtong. The Yunzhang family took the waste crown concubine back. It is said that since then, he has been confined in the courtyard by the Zhang family, without seeing the sun. If you want to come to this life, you will live to the end like this.
Everything is different from before. In this life, even after going round and round, Pei Youan finally returned to Suye City, and even took the post of duty envoy, but Jiafu knew that he and himself would go hand in hand and grow old together.
“Fur, the post of Jidu Envoy, should I get it right?”
Pei Youan looked a little solemn, was silent for a moment, and then asked her suddenly.
Gaffer got up from his arms and looked at him: “Big cousin, although you ask me, I know that you should have thought about it in your own heart. The seal of the Jidushi is awarded by the court. , The salary you received was also issued by the imperial court, but those who call you adults and hope you will bring them a life of safety are tens of thousands of ordinary people. Big cousin, you are an official, not for the emperor. It’s for the common people. It used to be the case, and it’s the same now. If you don’t do it, replace it with another Hu Liangcai. If you end up suffering, you will rule the people. The court has a will, and the old man recommends it like this. You are guaranteed, if you push back…”
Gaffer glanced at him quietly, “After all, that man is the emperor, so you can be cured of the crime of resisting the decree and not complying with the decree. Don’t you have failed the old man’s trust?”
After receiving that decree during the day, Pei Youan was in a daze. After returning, he couldn’t help but ask Yu Jiafu. It was just a lip service, but she did not expect that she persuaded herself like this. Speaking of my heart, I stayed for a while, couldn’t help feeling ashamed, and sighed: “Fu’er, a big man in vain, when this happened, my heart is not as open as yours. What you said is that being an official is I did it for the people, not for the family. The old man trusted me so much, how can I disappoint him? This seal was used by my father in the past, and now I follow him. If it can benefit the people of one side, then Not in vain for my father’s kindness in nurturing and nurturing me!”
The so-called fan of the authorities, with his current relationship with the man in the palace, Jiafu knew that he should have a knot in his heart at first, so he hesitated.
When a wise person has a knot, it is often the most difficult to resolve by himself. Seeing that he was told by myself, I was happy, but deliberately frowned: “Big cousin, what do you mean by this? Why do women have to be more narrow-minded than men?”
Pei Youan was startled, then laughed, patted her forehead, hugged Jiafu on her lap, kissed her to apologize, it was night, the house was infinitely tender, and Ci’er beside her body was also very well-behaved, sleeping in embrace. By the side of my parents, sleep soundly all night until dawn.
Half a month later, the former Jiedu ambassador in Longxi resigned, and Pei Youan took over as the leading ambassador.
When the news spread, the people of Suye City were boiling.
It should be known that the war was over that day, Pei Youan completed the seal to the person sent by Mr. Tang, and took all the guilt. After leaving the city, the people in the city were all sweating for him, lest the emperor would condemn him. I learned the news today. , Is there any reason to be unhappy? It’s just that the government office of Jiedu in Longxi has always been located in Yongzhou, closer to the gate, and far away from Suyebian City. The people were overjoyed and reluctant to leave Pei Youan. On the second day, many people gathered spontaneously, with a large number of people. Thousands, all the way to the stockyard with a mighty beating of gongs and drums.
Jiafu was packing things in the house at the time, Pei Youan was lying on the bed, hugging Ci’er to his chest, teasing Jiao’er, the room was full of laughter from father and son.
Having lived here for nearly a year and a half, and now she is moving out, Jiafu felt a little bit sad. The so-called cherished broom, even the old bed whose legs had been repaired by Pei Youan, now I feel full of warm memories. I am busy, and I can’t bear to leave it. I want to take it away, and suddenly I hear it faintly outside. There was a loud noise, and Old Ding hurried over again, shouting from a distance: “Master Pei, there are many people in the city, I want to see off Master Pei and Mrs. Pei!”
Pei Youan sat up and looked at Jiafu. Jiafu took Ci’er over and handed it to Sandalwood, and helped Pei Youan arrange his clothes. The two went outside and saw the crowds outside the gate of the stockyard. They were holding chickens and carrying chickens in their hands. The drinker, there was a little girl, holding a little lamb in his arms, and seeing Pei Youan and Jiafu coming out, ran over quickly, and raised the little lamb aloft. An old man kowtowed and said, “This is my grandson. , This lamb was raised by him, and he took it over today, please don’t disagree with the sir and the wife, it’s really a little bit of the old man’s family!”
His voice fell, and the others knelt down one after another, vying to deliver what they brought up.
Pei Youan hurriedly went to help the old man and asked everyone to get up, saying that they would not accept anything, but those people were willing to listen. He helped this, that one kneeled down, surrounded him, and said, “If there were no adults to protect him on that day.” Living in the city, we people don’t know what to do now, let alone these things! Please accept them!”
Gaffer was moved in her heart, and was more proud of having such a husband. Seeing that the little child was still holding a lamb, he was kneeling there as his grandfather. Although the lamb is only a few months old, it has been raised and chubby. It can be seen that the child is caring carefully and thinks it is a little heavy. The child is a little difficult to lift, but he still works hard to hold it, and then passes and removes the lamb from his hand. Li hugged it down and smiled: “You like this lamb, don’t you? Take it back, Master Pei won’t take it.”
The child seemed shy, but shook his head and refused.
Pei Youan showed a slight movement, raised his hand, signaled everyone to be quiet, and said: “Pei is only doing his duty, but he has been so loved by many elders. Pei is very grateful, and even more ashamed. When I was a teenager, I had two Du has been to Suye City, and he has a different feeling for this place. This city is adjacent to the border, has a large population, and its geography is even more distracting. Not to hide from the fathers and elders, Pei is considering relocating the Jiedu government office to this place. It is more conducive to the frontier guard. Every father, Pei and his wife understand today’s heart, but these things, please bring them back!”
The people were reluctant to let him go. Hearing that he wanted to move the government here, there was thunderous joy, but those things, but they refused to take them away anyway. They kowtow to the couple and put down the things one after another, and people have to leave. , All smiles.
Pei Youan is a savvy person who has nothing to do with so many people who forcibly put down their things and leave.
Gaffer took a step forward and said loudly to everyone: “Fathers, the emperor had a strict order. If officials take things from the people, they are regarded as collecting money. Wei Lufa. Please listen to Master Pei’s words. Your heart is accepted. My husband and I are very grateful, but please take back these things!”
Pei Youan was reminded and hurriedly clasped his fists.
After Jiafu finished speaking, he picked up the little lamb with his own hands, put it back in the child’s arms, smiled, and helped him up from the ground.
The people looked at each other for a moment, and then they had no choice but to pick up the things they had just put down. But in their hearts, they admired and respected this pair of upcoming new appointments. They knelt down and thanked them again, and then got up. , Went happily.
One month later, the imperial court approved that the quasi-longxi Jiedu government office was moved to Suye City, and the government office was established in the original capital.
On this day at the end of April of the third year of Zhaoping, under the protection of a group of soldiers, Pei Youan took Jiafu and Ci’er sitting in a carriage into Suye City and moved into Suye City amidst the sound of gongs and drums of welcome among the people. Jiedushi House.
