Wishing You Eternal Happiness - Chapter 44

Outside the main hall, Jiafu noticed that Pei Youan, who had been walking in front of him, was in front of the steps, and his pace gradually slowed down, not knowing if he was waiting for him.

As he slowed down, she followed up with him in a few quick steps and followed him in.

Bright candles are still burning in the hall, and the servants on both sides are full of servants, but they can’t hear any sound quietly. Mrs. Pei sits in the middle. Pei Quan, Mrs. Xin, and Mrs. Meng are on the left and right. Pei Xiuluo did not see Pei Xiuzhi.

As soon as he entered, Jiafu felt countless eyes cast on him, so he lowered his eyes slightly, followed Pei Youan to the old lady Pei, and bowed and saluted the old lady first.

Mrs. Pei usually wears a dark gold pattern at home this morning, but she wore a new dress with a dark gold **** pattern on the bottom of the agarwood. She looked like a rare spirit, and waited for Pei Youan and Jiafu to finish their salutes and stand up. Pei Youan got up, Jiafu still kneeled, and took two pre-prepared needlework for the bride to honor her elders from the mother Liu who followed, and presented them with both hands respectfully. One pair of black velvet wiping the forehead, and another pair of azurite cloth embroidered soft-soled women’s boots. Although the embroidery is exquisite, the materials are rather simple and simple. At first glance, they are local things. , Looked at Jiafu again, with a faint disdain in his eyes.

Yuzhu wanted to pick it up, but was stopped by the old lady and picked it up herself.

Jia Fu whispered: “Grandma, I used it for wiping the cold forehead. The boots fit this season. I think that grandmother is rich and glorious. It is not rare that the heavenly fairy clothes are brought to my grandmother, because it is the heart of the grandmother and the grandmother wears it. For comfort is important, I simply used my hometown cloth to make shoes, which are better than soft and comfortable, especially no matter how hot the weather is, the feet are not stuffy. But the needlework is made by myself. If the stitch embroidery is not as good, grandmother should not Sorry.”

The old lady touched her forehead, touched the embroidered pattern on the boot upper, nodded and smiled: “Those fancy and expensive things, but they are pretty good-looking, no one doesn’t have it. I’m old, it’s rare for you to be so caring. For the thoughtfulness of my thoughts, my grandmother took it and put it on when it’s hot. If it’s good, you will make me a double pair at that time, and I will ask someone to send it to a few older sisters.”

Jiafu smiled and agreed, accepted the old lady’s reward, and thanked her. After getting up, the contemptuous housemaid women looked at Jiafu, and they had already changed their look.

Pei Youan was still expressionless, glanced at Jiafu, and took her to salute Mrs. Xin again.

Mrs. Xin sat in a chair, and on the other side was the vacant seat of the late Wei Guogong. She also had a smile on her face. She sat upright, drank a sip of Kafre’s tea, collected some needles and threads, and gave a meeting ceremony. Followed by Pei Quan and Mrs. Meng’s second wife.

Pei Quan has always been holding the air, and he doesn’t laugh at home on weekdays. This time he knew that he had been promoted because of his nephew in the long house. It was affectionate, holding Jiafu’s hand, and smiling to Pei Youan: “Last night, after making trouble in the bridal chamber, your aunts and aunts came out, and none of them didn’t praise Afu. Their appearance is hard to say, and it is even rarer to be virtuous and caring. Look, old lady. I don’t like it too. My niece, I’ve always thought of my daughter in pain. Now that you are married to You An, you can be regarded as a real family. You and Afu, this is the fate of the previous life and is destined.” He said and beckoned, calling his son.

Pei Xiuluo respectfully, called Jia Fu “sister-in-law”.

Pei Xiuluo was about the same age as Pei Xiuzhi, only half a year younger than him, but his fate was completely different. He has no grace, and fame can only be earned on his own. Naturally, people like Pei Youan who were admitted as a Jinshi in their teens are hard to get one or two in a hundred years. The imperial examination is not easy. After studying at the Imperial College, I am waiting to participate in the Enke, which will be opened by the new emperor next year.

Ordinarily, Gaffer and him are cousins, and the relationship should be better. When he was a child, it was true. Pei Xiuluo was very good to Jiafu. He always smiled when he saw her. But then, when Jiafu came to Pei’s house, he accidentally ran into him blocking a young girl who was a few years older than him. He kissed his chest next to the rockery in the Houyuan.

At that time, Jiafu was still ignorant and uncomprehending, but vaguely knew that it was not easy for others to know, let alone let him touch his hair or pinch his face as before, so no one said it, but since then , So he didn’t approach him alone, and after growing up, he didn’t come to Pei’s house often, and the relationship slowly faded.

Now Pei Xiuluo is a talented person, gentle and elegant, and Jiafu thought about the time he accidentally ran into him when he was a child, which should have been caused by his curiosity when he was young, but there was always a lump in his heart. Seeing him calling himself sister-in-law, he laughed.

Brother Quan was also brought in by the nurse. He was a lot taller than he was more than a year ago. He seemed to be a little afraid of Pei Youan. He stood motionless and was taught to call Jiafu “Big Aunt”. Jiafu prepared a set of clothes for him, and the nurse took it on his behalf. He timidly called “Uncle” to Pei Youan.

Jiafu noticed that Pei Youan seemed to like children a lot. When Brother Quan called himself, he not only showed a smile on his face, he also stretched out his hand and touched his head.

Mrs. Pei looked at the sky outside the door, and said: “Wei Xiu was supposed to come in the morning, but the illness is still not healed. The body is important. I told him to recover from the illness first. Afu is not an outsider, so you don’t have to stick to etiquette. Now, You’an, you can take Afu into the palace to thank you for your gratitude, and come back to worship the ancestor.”

Pei Youan should have been, Jiafu followed him to salute everyone, and went out of the middle hall. Sandalwood added a soft satin cloak to her. Jiafu went out of the gate, got on the carriage with Pei Youan, and went to the palace.

At this time, it was just dawn, and the carriage was rolling on the road, with sparse pedestrians on both sides of the road. Pei Youan seemed to have the habit of not letting go of the scrolls. After getting in the car, he took the book from a toilet in the corner and looked through it himself.

Gaffer sat next to him, bored, and couldn’t help but stretch her neck a little bit: “Big…”

She paused, and changed her words: “What book is my husband reading? I used to be at home and loved to read books. Maybe I have read…”

Pei Youan didn’t raise his head, only closed it, and stretched the title page toward her, and said lightly: “Lunheng.”

Jiafu is not a talented girl, but she really liked reading since she was a child. Her father was very open-minded, and he did not restrict her to read only the girl, Fan Nude. I have also read a lot of miscellaneous books such as portraits. I saw that the book in his hand has some fluffy corners. It can be seen that he often reads it and he should like it, so he wanted to find a topic to talk to him, and listen to him now. In response, he glanced at the book, closed his mouth, and stopped talking.

When Pei Youan heard her suddenly quiet, he raised his eyes and glanced at her.

Gaffer smiled awkwardly: “Husband is really good at reading books.”

Pei Youan didn’t respond, turned his face back, and continued to open his book.

Gaffer was a little boring, she was in a daze for a moment, and couldn’t help but think of last night.

After the incident last night, although he treated himself tenderly, she felt that he was barely having **** with her.

To be honest, Gaffer originally had a little confidence in his skin and body. After all, she had experienced two men in her previous life. Whether it’s Pei Xiuzhi or Xiao Yintang, in this kind of thing, after getting involved, she doesn’t need to deliberately wrong her to do anything, they are all infatuated with her.

But last night, she received a blow.

She glanced at him quietly again, and saw that his gaze was always on the scroll, her mood suddenly fell, she leaned her head in the corner, closed her eyes and slumbered, and said nothing.

Pei’s house is not very far from the palace. The carriage walked for a while, gradually slowed down and stopped.

The palace gate is here.

Gaffer opened his eyes. Seeing that Pei Youan had got up and got out of the carriage. The **** Cui Yinshui was waiting at the gate of the palace, and when he saw Pei Youan getting down, his eyes lit up and he quickly greeted him.

Jiafu was helped down by Madam Lin, who was following in the carriage behind him, and stood still.

Cui Yinshui had already approached, called Master Pei, turned to Jiafu, and called her “Mrs.” with a smile on his face, Jiafu nodded with a smile, and joined Pei Youan, followed him into the palace gate, walked to Xiyuan, and finally reached Chengguang. In front of the hall.

It was still a moment away from the hour when the Ministry of Rites arranged to thank the Lord.

Cui Yinshui went in to report, Jiafu suddenly felt a little nervous, and subconsciously looked at Pei Youan next to him. Seeing him standing tall, his eyes solemn, standing beside him, Ruo Yue looked up slightly, looked at him for a moment, and suddenly , As if gaining strength, let out a sigh of relief slowly, and his heart settled again.

After Xiao Lie sat in the imperial case, his eyes were slightly swollen, as if he didn’t sleep well last night, and when the two of them knelt side by side to thank you, they flattened themselves and looked at Jiafu with a satisfying expression on his face. The **** gave a reward. Gaffer knelt down again, and thanked the emperor for his mother’s generous reward.

Xiao Lie and Yan Yue said: “You don’t need to be polite. You Zhen family has merit. You will serve Youan well in the future, it is your Zhen family’s loyalty to me.”

Jiafu quickly glanced at Pei Youan beside her.

He looked at the emperor on the seat, but did not look at her.

Gaffer lowered his head and agreed. After getting up, according to the rules, I will go to Jiefu Palace to thank the queen again.

Li Yuangui personally led Jiafu over. When he arrived at the Jiefu Palace, Jiafu entered, and saw Emperor Zhou sitting in the back of the palace, with Zhang Fengtong sitting on his side, and sitting next to a female crown wearing a yellow shirt and holding a whisk in her hand.

The women’s crown was still very young, only about twenty, and she had an excellent appearance, with her eyebrows trimmed, her teeth and her lips, she was sitting there, with a fairy and jade color, and she was covered in a Taoist suit, which made it even more otherworldly.

Gaffer didn’t recognize this beauty crown. After bowing to Queen Zhou, he met with Zhang Fengtong. Zhang Fengtong introduced the female crown to Jiafu, saying that she was a monk at Baiheguan in the south of the city. She had a late family name and her name was Hanzhen. This was a bit of an impression. Finally, I remembered this female crown. The son turned out to be famous.

When King Shun’an came to the throne, he was opposed by a group of courtiers loyal to Emperor Tianxi. Among them was Hanlin, a man named Chi Ji, who was also a master of calligraphy and painting at the time. He was extremely prestigious and opposed King Shun’an. Secretly united the ministers, calling for a thorough investigation of the case of Shao-di’s falling from the horse. At that time, Shun’an Wang Yin endured it, but after that, Chi Hanlin was charged with a crime of treason. The family had more than a hundred people, all males were killed, and the female relatives were cut into slavery.

This crowned woman was Chi Hanlin’s granddaughter. She was only fourteen years old and she had the reputation of being the number one talented woman in Beijing. After being cast as an official slave, she refused to succumb to the gangsters and committed suicide by falling from a building. It was also her fate. When she jumped down, she happened to be crushed by a passerby, and she did not die, but things quickly spread, and public opinion was boiling. People arranged lyrics and sang songs to extol her integrity, and King Shun’an gave her an amnesty and allowed her to become a monk. Later, Xiao Lie came to the top to rehabilitate the group of people, including Chi Hanlin. Since then, this female crown has frequented the palace and formed close friends with the crown prince Zhang Fengtong. She was very famous and loved by many men, including many. A high-ranking official, but she insisted on refusing to marry her husband, and she has been her Jurchen.

After introducing the female crown to Jiafu, Zhang Fengtong smiled and said to the female crown: “She is the newlywed wife of Master Pei, Zhen from Quanzhou.”

Chi Hanzhen’s cold eyes turned to Jiafu, and after a while, he got up from his seat and bowed to Jiafu. There was no smile on his face, and his brows were high.

At first glance, Jiafu knew that the beautiful Taoist priest in front of him was Chi Hanlin’s granddaughter.

Chi Hanzhen didn’t look at Jiafu again, and turned to Empress Zhou: “Thank you Niang Niang for caring, but now I have no intention of returning to the vulgar. Han Zhen will ask the master to open the altar for Niang Niang to pray for her. If there is nothing else, Han Zhen will return first. “

Empress Zhou smiled and said: “The emperor has cleared up your grandfather’s grievances. I thought that you were a little bit pitiful. I only called you into the palace yesterday. You have no intention to return to the vulgarity. I will not force it. Nothing. You often come and walk. You were known as a talented woman before. It is good to give me lectures later.”

Chi Hanzhen responded, saluted the queen and Zhang Fengtong again, turned and floated away.

Empress Zhou turned to Jiafu, amiable, said some gossip, Jiafu responded, and finally resigned, Zhang Fengtong sent her away, Jiafu declined, but Zhang Fengtong insisted on sending her to the outside of the hall, holding her hand, and said: “Sister Zhen At first, I was out of the heart of repaying, but I didn’t know the relationship between you and Master Pei. This caused a misunderstanding. Now I know that I was also said to by the queen, and I regret it. You don’t blame me. Fortunately, the prince and Pei. Adults love brothers and sisters. From now on, you and I will naturally be like sisters. If you have nothing to do, remember to enter the palace often and we will move around more often.”

Jiafu agreed with a smile, and repeatedly asked her to stay. Zhang Fengtong stopped, smiling, and watched Jiafu leave.

Jiafu was still led by Li Yuangui, returned to Chengguang Hall, walked halfway, her heart beat slightly, and her footsteps stopped.

Pei Youan stopped on the palace road in front, talking to a woman. The woman’s back was curvy, her yellow shirt fluttered, and it was Chi Hanzhen, who had just left the crown. It seemed that the two had known each other before. He didn’t know what he said, Chi Hanzhen saluted Pei Youan deeply, as if he was extremely grateful, and then he continued to move forward.

The female Guanzi left, Pei Youan turned his head and saw Jiafu who was stopped by the road. He raised his brows slightly and walked towards her. When he got closer, he said to Li Yuangui: “I’m bothering father-in-law, the emperor is all right there. I’ll take my wife out of the palace first.”
