Wishing You Eternal Happiness - Chapter 50

The next morning, Pei’s family moved to prepare for the old lady to leave for Baihe Temple. Because it was out of the city, the road was a little far away, so I left the sedan. The old lady asked Jiafu to sit in a car with herself, accompanied by Yuzhu, Mrs. Xin and the second wife in a car, and the other girls and servants who came out of the hospitals were separated. Head to end head to end, with passers-by watching, a few miles away from the south gate, a place where the moat flows through a quiet and green shaded place, which is Baiheguan.

Mrs. Pei Youan knows that the old lady is traveling today, accompanied by many female relatives. Although Pei Xiuzhi has gone there to take care of waiting, Pei Xiuluo and the stewards are still escorting him on the way. Escorted.

Here the Taoist aunt is middle-aged, and the Taoist name is empty dust. Yesterday she knew that Mrs. Pei was going to bring a group of female relatives in the family to have a meal, and to clean the dust early. At this moment, she led a group of disciples, opened the door and came out to welcome them. Pei Xiuzhi who arrived early in the morning.

Pei Youan sent the old lady to the gate of the Taoist temple, and was urged by the old lady to go back several times, saying: “You are out of filial piety, but so many eyes are staring at you. A bad head. I’m here, and there is nothing left to do with you. Go back soon. You don’t need to pick it up again today. Your second uncle will come to welcome us.”

Xu Chen smiled and said: “The old lady is here with the old Taoist aunt, that is the **** of heaven, how dare the old Taoist slacken off? Don’t worry, Lord Pei.”

Pei Youan bothered to Xu Chen, and then instructed Pei Xiuzhi and Pei Xiuluo to take care of each other, and asked the steward to guard each door, and not let outsiders come in at will. After the order was over, before turning around, he looked at the person standing next to Mrs. Pei. Gaffer.

Just now, Jiafu had been looking at him, and seeing his eyes cast, she couldn’t help but think of the scene when she went back to the study last night. After the incident, he personally wiped her body again, and treated her with pity, reminding her, always feeling like falling in a dream, not like the truth, sweet and satisfying in her heart, beyond words.

Gaffer knew that he liked to laugh, but at the moment when the crowd was in the crowd, naturally he didn’t dare to smile at him, only slightly pursed his mouth, showing a small pear vortex on his lips, which was really cute.

Pei Youan didn’t have much expression, only glanced at her again, then closed his gaze, mounted his horse and walked away, gradually disappearing from the end of the line of sight.

The old lady asked Jiafu and Yuzhu to support him, and He Xuchen entered the gate. Behind him, Mrs. Xin, the second lady and a group of companion servant girls also filed in. Although there were many people, there was no noise. Mrs. Pei arrived first. In the main hall, worshipping the three sages of Qingxu with incense and chanting silently, after the donation, they were led to look around.

The Baiheguan is very big, and the front and back three courtyards are connected together, and there are three gates, among which there are many places to see. The old lady looked at a few places, then stopped. Xuchen thought she was tired and wanted to lead her to sit down in her retreat. The old lady waved her hand: “Why don’t you see the Taoist woman of Hanzhen?”

Xu Chen hurriedly said: “She is in the view at the moment. It’s just that the old lady doesn’t know anything, because she is different from others. Although she is named as my apprentice, I dare not really call herself a master. She has always been upright, and she doesn’t want it on weekdays. After being disturbed, I assigned her a clean room alone at the back. Whether the door was open or closed on weekdays, it was all in her own place. And in the past few months, a seriously ill child came to her and said it was her. My younger brother, who used to hide from the shame of seeing people and fell into a sickness, is now picked up by her and settled with her. I am afraid that if something is not good, it is not easy to go over at will, just to see what she lacks, I will give She sent it.”

Xuchen’s tone was faintly dissatisfied. After listening, Mrs. Pei became more unbearable and sighed: “I was originally the daughter of the family, Luo Qiwenxiu. I remember coming to my house as a guest when I was young. Although my temperament is weaker, unlike others The girl is so clingy, but she is also very sensible. Unfortunately, her life is not good, and now she has fallen to this point. It is even more rare to have that kind of integrity, and the ordinary beard in front of her, I am afraid it is incomparable.”

Xu Chen laughed and said: “The old lady is coming here, it is naturally different. I will call someone, go and call her, and I have met the old lady.”

The old lady said: “She is no better than before. Now she is a monk. She has jumped out of five feet and is no longer in the dust. How can she call her just me as a layman? Let me go and see by myself.” Continue to move forward.

Xu Chen said: “Madame Bodhisattva has a heart, and is the most pitiful and compassionate. I have heard about it before, but now that I have seen it with my own eyes, the rumors are true.” While leading the old lady, he winked at the young apprentice. , The little apprentice knew, and quickly ran away.

Jiafu supported Mrs. Pei, followed Mrs. Xin, the second wife and others, all the way to the direction of the back view pointed by Xu Chen, and gradually became quiet. At the end of the road ahead, there was a blue wall and two black doors. , A few green bamboos are exposed in the wall.

“Madam Tai, it’s right there in front.” Xu Chen pointed.

Gaffer looked at the door and cleared the door, with the words “Tai Su Guan” hanging on the door plaque.

Jia Fu’s writing is also good, but it is sleek and beautiful, but these three characters are very good, and Jia Fu is not as good as it is. Knowing that without years of painstaking practice, he would never write such a stroke. Character. But when you look closely, at the tip of the pen between the turning points of the hook, Jiafu is faintly familiar, as if he has seen it before, but can’t remember it for a while, is thinking about it, and sees the two black doors opening with a “creak” inside. A goose figure came out, a beautiful crown, and two waiters behind him, hurriedly greeted him.

It is the female champion Chi Hanzhen.

Chi Han really walked quickly in front of the old lady Pei, and said: “I learned that the old lady came here to see me in person. How can I live with a scumbag?”

Her tone was extremely respectful, but between her brows and eyes, there was no flattery at all, just like the attitude she had when facing the Zhou Dynasty in the palace that day, neither humble nor overbearing, and very demeanor.

Such a clear and jealous person was mistaken for him the day before yesterday to be someone with ulterior motives, and Jiafu couldn’t help but feel ashamed again.

The old lady smiled and said, “It’s okay. I also walked around at will, and I got to you. It disturbed your quietness.”

Chi Hanzhen said: “The old lady has broken me. If you don’t think the tea here is crude, please feel free to do so.”

The old lady turned her head and told all the girls and servants to stop. She continued to support Jia Fu, and together with the two wives, entered the dark door. Entering the house, there is a bookshelf against the wall, a stack of yellow scrolls, a wall full of books, a bookcase by the window, the four treasures of the room on the case, the pen is the lake pen, the ink is the ink, the paper is the rice paper, the inkstone is the inkstone, and the rest of the decorations are all elegant. There was still a half-written piece of paper on the table, and the end of the pen resting on the pen holder still contained ink. Mrs. Pei saw it and said, “I am interrupting you.”

Chi Hanzhen smiled slightly and said: “My younger brother has stabilized his condition in the past two days. I am a little free, and I just wrote a few words indiscriminately, making the old lady a joke.” The little Taoist aunt gave Qing tea to Xiang Xin. Madam, second madam and Jia Fu met with a bow.

Mrs. Xin didn’t like her arrogance and her attitude was light, but the second wife was smiling, walked to the table, glanced at the words on the paper, and praised: “Good words.”

Gaffer glanced at it.

It’s so coincidental that the words on the paper are exactly what she has just read these days. Although she may not fully understand it, she also knows that it is about human blessings and evils. The font on the paper is exactly the same as the three characters “Tai Su Guan” inscribed on Fang Caimen.

Jiafu finally remembered. The reason why he saw these three characters at first glance was that he felt familiar, because it was somewhat similar to Pei Youan’s.

Jia Fu was slightly in a daze, the old lady and Chi Hanzhen were still talking over there. The old lady asked Chi Hanzhen’s younger brother’s condition, mentioned his younger brother, and said a few words, Chi Hanzhen gradually lost her constant coldness, and there were tears in her eyes, and said: “A few days ago, the mother called me into the palace and asked about the vulgarity. , I was worrying about my younger brother, so naturally I didn’t want to. When I came out, I ran into Master Pei. I remembered that Doctor Hu once said that Master Pei’s unique medical skills, even he sighed, so I rushed to ask for help. Fortunately, Master Pei With a wonderful hand and kind heart, I came to see a doctor for my younger brother that same day, and then dialed in with the imperial physician, and the imperial physician once again tried. In these two days, his condition finally stabilized, and I am really grateful. I am a monk, and I have no other things, just the old man. People are coming, please accept my worship, and you have the right to thank you for your brother.” As he said, he bowed solemnly.

Mrs. Pei hurriedly asked the second lady to help her up, and comforted: “Why do you need to be like this. You’an was also considered to be your grandfather’s pupil back then, and now he can treat him, so he can do his best.”

Chi Hanzhen thanked again. Mrs. Pei got up and went to visit the child. She fell asleep, so she didn’t go in, but looked at the door. Gaffer took a look and saw that the child was lying on the bed with a yellowish face and thin skin. He just heard Chi Han’s truth. He was ten years old, but looked as if he was seven or eight years old, and was extremely thin.

Mrs. Pei probably thought of the situation of the eldest grandson when she was young, and felt even more pity. After she came out, she sat for a while, got up and left. After being sent out by Chi Hanzhen, she said to Xu Chen: “She is arrogant, if I give her something else, She may not necessarily lead her to feel sorry for her life experience, and she may not be willing to ask for it. So when she came, she only asked someone to prepare some precious medicinal materials, which you will send to her later.”

Xu Chen responded, full of flattery, and sent back to the front hall, where there had been a sacred table, and I put on the vestments personally and did the first half. At noon, Mrs. Pei Jiafu and others had lunch, and took a short break. The second half continued. When it was finished, she came over with a lottery bucket. The old lady threw one out, Xu Chen picked it up, glanced at it, and said with a smile: “The sixty-fourth lottery is signed. Everything is satisfactory, there is no disadvantage to it, so it is signed!” He said and presented it to the old lady with both hands.

Mrs. Pei was naturally happy, and finally it was another tribute. It was finally at the end. Near the evening, the group of people also looked tired and was sent out. Pei Quan has already arrived, and he is waiting in the outer hall with Pei Xiuzhi and Pei Xiuluo. Seeing people come out, he is busy instructing the staff to arrange the return trip. There is a brief turmoil. go.

On the way back, Jiafu was a little worried, while the old lady was a little sleepy, closed her eyes and rested, and Yuzhu also seemed to be worried, and she didn’t take the initiative to speak, so she went quiet in the carriage, listening only to the sound of the wheels. Gradually approaching a fork in the city gate, a group of dozens of people came from the side of the horse, with colored saddles and jade saddles. The horse speed was extremely fast. In a blink of an eye, the Pei’s coachman who drove the first carriage did not take care of it. Suddenly, because of being too hasty, not only was the two doors of the car opened by herself, but the old lady in the car also swayed forward. Fortunately, Jia Fu and Yuzhu both supported them, so they did not fall forward. But Jiafu and Yuzhu themselves had hit the carriage wall. Although they didn’t fall, their shoulders hurt a bit. They raised their faces subconsciously and looked forward.

The car door just opened, and he closed it back again, but in such a short time, Jiafu had already seen it. The fork on the road in front of the road was the cause of the Pei’s coachman’s mistake. It was Xiao Yintang and behind him. A group of followers.

His eyes also looked over, unbiased, just falling on her face, his lips moved slightly, and his eyes instantly became strange.

The carriage door bounced back on its own, blocking the people in the carriage again in an instant.

Mrs. Pei opened her eyes.

Gaffer settled down and listened carefully. Outside Pei Quan quickly dismounted, led Pei Xiuzhi, Pei Xiuluo and the others, and saluted Xiao Yintang, who had just come from the side road, and was about to return to the city. Then came the sound of footsteps. The footsteps quickly stopped in front of the carriage. Then, Xiao Yintang’s voice came in, listening very respectfully: “I don’t know if Mrs. Pei drove by, it was my side that was reckless. If there is a collision, I hope the old lady will not be surprised.”

The imperial court has a system. Officials of the first and second grade and the imperial wife of the first and second grade are exempted from bowing down when they meet the prince. Mrs. Pei walked across the door and said loudly: “How dare you be a prince like this? Returning to the city blocked the way of the prince. It was we who collided. I would tell people to give way and ask the prince to enter the city first.”

Xiao Yintang said: “The old lady is highly respected, that is, the father and the emperor are also respected, let alone me? Please be sure to ask the old lady to pass first, I can wait.” The tone sounds extremely sincere, and the words have been heard for a while. The noise, the group of people, seemed to smash to the side of the road.

Mrs. Pei said: “Take the prince to be modest, and the old man is grateful, so it can only be rude.”

Seeing Xiao Yintang’s eyes on the two carriage doors, Pei Quan smiled, as if he really wanted to give way, so he had to lead people to get up and urge the convoy to pass.

Xiao Yintang stopped on the side of the road, watching the carriage carrying her gradually disappear, his eyes flickering, and a different color was faintly visible.

…

At night, Xiao Yintang returned from the farewell banquet set by the emperor for his uncle Zhou Jin. He was half drunk and his steps were floating. He entered the bedroom of the East Palace, thinking of the woman in the carriage that he met during the day. Jiaoyan, however, became more and more engraved into his brain, lingering, a burst of dryness, before going to bed, casually dragged a concubine named Cao who had just been promoted to a side concubine onto an Arhat couch, venting, drunk. Blurred, staring at the woman under her, she was in a daze, gritted her teeth: “Zhen! Do you think that if you marry Pei Youan, you can avoid me forever? Dreaming!”

Cao was panting because of him. Suddenly when he said this, he stared at him with blood red eyes, as if drunk and awake. He was terrified in his heart, and hurriedly said: “Prince Grandpa, you are mistaken, and the concubine is Cao, not the Zhen!”

Xiao Yintang’s alcohol disappeared, and he slowly stopped, staring at the woman under him, his eyes gradually getting colder, he stretched out a hand and gently stroked her white and smooth neck with his fingertips.

Cao thought he was going on, closed his eyes slightly, and made a sound, suddenly his throat tightened, and he was tightly clamped by a hand, his face was flushed red, struggling desperately, but no one could escape. At the end, he kicked it hard, kicked a screen at the end of the couch to the ground, made a “crash” sound, made a few more clicks in his throat, his eyes turned pale, and his body gradually softened.

Zhang Fengtong just heard the movement inside, knowing that the prince was favoring the Cao family, secretly tolerated the grief, and drove the palace away, he was guarding outside, vaguely heard the words of the prince just now, but then moved in and hurried in, only to see the Cao family His eyes turned white and five deep fingerprints on his neck were strangled alive by him.

Zhang Fengtong was taken aback and stared at Cao on the couch.

Although Cao’s birth was lower, his father used to be a small official in Wuding, but his appearance and stature were excellent, and he was also familiar with Xiao Yintang. Zhang Fengtong was newly married, and the prince did not have **** with her. At the same time, the Cao family was faintly proud. Zhang Fengtong had tolerated it secretly, but he didn’t expect to be choked to death by him suddenly.

It doesn’t matter if the individual is dead, but soon after Cao was registered as a side concubine, he entered the royal disc book, and his father was promoted to a fourth-ranking member. Such a violent death must always be explained.

She looked at Xiao Yintang, saw him turn over, sat up on the couch, and said coldly: “Don’t you have a reputation for being virtuous and capable? I leave it to you here.” After speaking, she turned around and walked in.

Zhang Fengtong watched Xiao Yintang disappear, turned to the dead Cao family, stared for a long while, and slowly said: “Don’t blame me, blame the woman who harmed you.”
