Wishing You Eternal Happiness - Chapter 63
Heyang Queen Mother Pan and Mrs. Pei are old sisters. Now they go to enjoy the blessing, the funeral, and Mrs. Pei also kissed him. After returning, the weather may have changed suddenly. The season is getting colder, even during the day, and most of the days are spent in drowsy sleep.
Jiafu had the impression that in her previous life, Mrs. Pei seemed to have passed away shortly after Xiao Lie became emperor. So now, when she sees that the old lady is not in good health and Pei Youan is not at home, she is extremely nervous and anxious. Not only does she serve her attentively sooner or later, she also asks the imperial physician to come for treatment twice a day.
But despite this, the old lady’s body was like a lamp that was about to burn out, and the fire gradually dimmed. In Jiafu’s heart, gradually felt an ominous omen.
On this day, almost a month after Pei Youan left home, Jiafu received his first letter from him.
The letter is not long, and the words are concise and concise, just like the way Pei Youan always talks to her on weekdays.
He told her that he had arrived in the Nanyang area of Jingxiang in the past half a month. Now everything is going on. It’s okay, so she doesn’t need to worry about it, and tells her to pass on peace to her grandmother on her behalf.
After the letter is a list of books he attached. He has all the books listed in his study. If you have free time, you can follow the order listed in the book list, from light to dark, and take them in turn for recreation. When she finishes reading all the book lists listed above, it is expected that he should have returned to Beijing by then.
Since Pei Youan left, Jiafu took care of Mrs. Pei day by day, and she was full of lovesickness at night. Sometimes she missed him and couldn’t sleep late at night. Today I finally received his letter. Although there was no missing words in the letter, Jiafu was already satisfied with the list of books he had listed for himself. My heart was a bit sweet, and a bit regretful, thinking about how good grandma would be if she had a good body.
She went to the old lady.
The old lady fell asleep all morning. Not long after she woke up, her spirits seemed a little better. Hearing Jiafu relayed Pei Youan’s family letter and greetings from the eldest grandson, she smiled and kept nodding her head. At this time, Mrs. Xin, two His wife and Zhou Jiao’e also came to serve the meal. After staying for a while, the old lady sent him back. The old lady called Jiafu no longer need to stay. She went back to take a nap, and specifically told her that if she wrote back, she should not mention her poor health, so as not to increase annoyance.
When Jiafu returned to her room, how could she be in the mood to sleep, she sat down and picked up a pen. When she was about to reply, Mother Liu came in, stood aside, and stopped talking.
Jia Fu asked her what was wrong.
Grandma Liu came closer and whispered: “Grandma, I heard that in the past two days, there were rumors in the servants that there was a cry in the middle of the night in the house where the aunt used to live, and she said…”
She paused.
“What else?”
Gaffer immediately put down the pen and turned his head.
“Also…in the middle of the night someone saw a hanged ghost with a dishevelled hair, dragging a long tongue, dangling in front of the yard where the uncle used to live…”
Mother Liu looked at her face, hesitating and talking.
The anger in Gaffer’s heart was pouring out little by little.
Pei Youan has only been away from home for a few days, and the old lady is ill again, and this kind of rumors have begun to appear in the mansion of the government.
If it is said that Mrs. Pei had a birthday last year, she occasionally heard the two women chewing when she passed by Pei Youan’s former residence, and she just felt uncomfortable, then at this moment, “not angry” is not enough to express her at this moment. Emotions.
She was already angry, extremely angry.
She held back and asked, “Who saw it?”
Mother Liu shook her head: “I don’t know this yet. I have also asked, but there are a lot of people in the house, and it is passed from the two rooms and the courtyards, and I can’t ask which one came out first.”
Gaffer gritted his teeth and said: “Check again! Be sure to find out the person who saw the hanged ghost! I must be very scared, so I can comfort him.”
Her tone was very heavy. Mother Liu was taken aback, then nodded, turned around and was about to go out, but was stopped by Jia Fu, turned her head and saw her in a trance, a moment later, she stood up suddenly and said, “You don’t have to I’ve checked it, let me ask someone to check it.”
Mother Liu was surprised and hurriedly followed when she saw that she had been out of the house.
Jiafu first went back to the old lady, asked someone to call out the jade beads quietly, and asked her grandmother. After learning that she had just taken the medicine, she took the jade beads to the corner of no one just after resting, and whispered it. Said the words again.
Yuzhu was taken aback, her eyebrows erected, and angrily said, “Who is chewing tongues? You have to take care of it! No matter which one is decent or not, if you grab it, you will tear your mouth, which is also cheap. !”
Gaffer said, “I’m thinking about it too. I’m about to ask. It’s just that my grandmother has been in a bad mood recently. I’m afraid that these foul language will spread to her old man’s ears and annoy her. Grandmother doesn’t know it yet. Excuse me, you watch more. .”
Yuzhu nodded: “Don’t worry about the big grandma. I know the people in front of the old lady. I’m lazy and chewing. I won’t show my face. If the big grandma mentioned it specifically, I will pay more attention to it.”
Jiafu smiled, shook her hand, turned around and was sent out, and asked Sandalwood to ask Mrs. Meng to go to the main courtyard of Mrs. Xin.
Mrs. Xin was in Brother Quan’s house at the moment, with a look of anger, reprimanding the nanny for being lazy, she didn’t help Brother Quan who was wet from bedwetting during the nap to get clean in time, and it’s not clean. In this weather, the buttocks are wet, afraid of wanting Catch a cold. The nurse was a little aggrieved, and argued: “I asked Xiaohong to go to the kitchen to get hot water, and Xiaohong came back and said that she was picked up by the girl named Xiangmei in the mistress’s house after she had just cooked a pot. The second grandma hurriedly used hot water and asked Xiao Hong to wait, it was too late.”
Mrs. Xin was furious and threw the clothes in her hand: “It’s turned upside down! I really thought I was a god! Is there any rules in my eyes!”
The grandmother muttered, and said, “Isn’t it? That’s the reason. I’m afraid that Brother Quan hasn’t seen the second master a few times these days. Madam should set the rules.”
Mrs. Xin’s face was extremely ugly, she was angry, and she wanted to call someone to call Zhou Jiao’e to give her a word, and she swallowed it again when the words came to her lips.
Although Zhou’s family has been humiliated recently, the position of the queen in the middle palace is still there, and she may turn over again someday. The queen seemed to be very caring for Zhou Jiao’e. Just a few days ago, she sent the palace people to give her some gifts from the palace. Besides, Jiao’e’s temperament is really a bit sloppy this week. If she doesn’t accept it and spreads it out because of this, the old lady will think she is incompetent, and even more afraid of being ridiculed by the people in the second room.
Madam Xin hated for a while, resented for a while, and when she was indecisive, she suddenly heard the girl come in and said that the big grandma was coming, and seeing the grandma, she looked at herself eagerly, as if waiting for her to find Zhou Jiao’e to teach her, she felt a little annoyed, simply. Taking advantage of this, she went downhill and ordered the nurse to take care of Brother Quan and hurried out by herself.
