Wishing You Eternal Happiness - Chapter 66

“Long live Chrysostom. The old woman acts as the eldest grandson, thank you long live.”

Mrs. Pei sat up, Xiao Lie reached out his hand when he saw it, but was gently blocked by the old lady.

She supported the edge of the bed and slowly got off the bed. Finally, she threw herself on the ground, knelt on the ground, and gave a respectful gift to the emperor in front of her.

Xiao Lie’s figure was also frozen, fixedly looking at the big skull that was knocking on the ground.

He opened his mouth, as if he still wanted to ask something. After all, he didn’t say anything. After a while, he just turned around slowly, his footsteps were abnormally stagnant, and he walked outwards step by step, finally disappearing behind the door.

Mrs. Pei still prostrated herself on the ground like that, and there was only a candlelight jumping in the inner room, and there was dead silence.

Behind the bisha cupboard, the back of Jiafu’s palm was already in cold sweat. She looked at Mrs. Pei’s back, fearing that the emperor would turn back again and still did not dare to go out.

For a long time, with the sound of footsteps, Mrs. Pei Quanxin and others poured in. Seeing the old lady kneeling on the ground, she hurriedly stepped forward to help her and laid her back on the bed. Seeing her face pale, the water was fed, and the back was rubbed.

The old lady opened her eyes and said: “Just now and Long live only recounted a few things about his childhood. Long live told me to recover from illness and have nothing else to do. I’m a little tired, and these days are also tired. , I have a few words to exhort, the rest of the people are gone, go and rest.”

Mrs. Xin was startled, and then responded.

The second wife glanced at her, her face was slightly confused, as if she was a little curious and unwilling, but did not dare to ask questions, and eventually followed Pei Quan, brought people, and went out of the house one after another.

Only Mrs. Xin was left in the room, standing in front of the old lady’s bed. Seeing her silent for a while, she hesitated and stepped forward and said: “Mother-in-law is staying with me, but do you have something to train?”

Mrs. Pei took out a key from under the pillow and handed it over: “Go and open the cabinet and take out the box inside.”

Mrs. Xin was puzzled, took it, and opened a gold cabinet with a brass lock against the wall. Seeing that there was a small sandalwood box that looked a little old inside, she held it up, feeling quite solid, and reached the bed. forward.

The old lady ordered her to open.

Mrs. Xin opened the box and saw that there was another golden chamber in it. She dared not move for a while and looked at Mrs. Pei.

“Open.”

Mrs. Xin carefully opened the golden chamber and recognized what was inside. She was surprised for a while and looked up at the old lady: “Mother-in-law, this is…”

“This is the iron coupon pill book given to heroes by the founding father of the country. One is cut into two, and it is installed in the golden chamber, half is given to heroes, and the other half is hidden in the ancestral temple. Either one may die, or you can ask for a tribute. Pei’s family is one of them. Now I am leaving, and there is nothing else in my hand. Leave this to my second child. You can take it. If you really can’t bear the title, you will see the opportunity to submit it in the future. “

Madam Xin was stunned, she wanted to pick it up but didn’t dare to pick it up, her hand stopped in the air, she looked a little weird.

The old lady closed her eyes and stopped talking.

Madam Xin slowly stretched out her hand towards the box, and the moment she touched it, seeing the old lady suddenly opened her eyes, her hand shook slightly, and she shrank back subconsciously.

Mrs. Pei stared at her: “I know you have resentment and grievances over the years, and now I am leaving, and the last message to you is also the last insight that I have experienced in my life. I hope that everything ends here. If you don’t realize it anymore, your ancestors will have left a ten-faced iron ticket, and there will be no blessings to be afraid of.”

Mrs. Xin’s face flushed red, stood there for a while, kowtow to the old woman on the bed, hugged the box tightly, turned her head and hurried away.

The candle flickered, the lantern burst, and a slight “pop” sounded.

“Come out.”

Mrs. Pei’s voice came over.

Gaffer finally walked out from behind the sheltered blue cupboard and walked slowly to the old lady’s bed. Seeing her half lying and half leaning there, she looked at herself with a slight smile and mixed feelings in her heart. Before reaching the edge of the bed, she held her hand tightly, whispered “Grandma”, and her eyes became red.

The old lady’s five fingers are cold, but her palms are hot: “In the past few years, my grandmother used to be the most uncomfortable. Fortunately, now that I have you, my grandmother can be relieved.”

Gaffer tightly grasped the old lady’s hand: “Grandma will live a hundred years old, Afu and husband, and grandma’s care…”

Tears couldn’t hold back anymore, they came out, and the voice choked with them.

Mrs. Pei smiled slightly: “Stupid boy, people will leave sooner or later. Grandma can enjoy all the blessings that the world can enjoy at this age. As long as you are all well in the future, what regrets do you have if you leave.”

Gaffer couldn’t help shaking his head, tears bursting into tears.

The old lady backhanded and held Jiafu’s hand tightly: “You Anzhi’s origin, if he is known in the future, his grandmother fears that he will be incomprehensible for his life. If it is possible, grandmother would rather not let him know for the rest of her life. Your grandmother shouldn’t have made you bear such a heavy burden, but as a married couple, your grandmother can only entrust him to you now. In any event, if he suffers from this, you have to take care of your grandmother and take care of him. Discard, you know?”

The look of the old woman became very serious.

Jiafu stopped her tears, knelt down in front of the bed, and solemnly said: “Grandma, rest assured, Afdine will do her best to stay with her husband in this life, and will never leave her.”

The old woman stared at her, a smile gradually appeared on her lips: “So grandmother is relieved…”

She seemed to be tired, and when she finished speaking, she slowly closed her eyelids and fell asleep.

…

This late night in the middle of winter, heavy snow was flying, and the snow on the ground had already reached the ankles.

The soldiers of the west gate guard of the capital burned a charcoal fire at the head of the city. Several people gathered around the charcoal stove to keep warm, complaining about the weather. Suddenly, a guard looking out shouted, “Someone is coming!”

The rest of the people passed by and looked at the direction that the person pointed. Sure enough, amidst the heavy snow, on the dark post road leading to Xigui, a group of people were galloping on their horses, and their horses hoof splashed. Luanqiong Broken Jade ran outside the city gate in a blink of an eye, and someone shouted to open the door.

“But Master Pei returned?”

The city lieutenant had received instructions from his superiors that Pei Youan might return to Beijing in the past few days and was ordered to pay attention to opening the door. At this moment, seeing the crowd of people and horses, he immediately leaned over and asked loudly.

“Exactly!”

A follower raised his arms, threw the festival symbol in his hand, and the city lieutenant took it, verified that it was correct, and immediately went down the tower and opened the gate.

A group of people passed through the city gate, headed towards the direction of Pei’s mansion, and went straight ahead.

…

Several days have passed since the emperor’s visit.

In the past few days, Jiafu didn’t leave the old lady for half a step. He was by her side during the day and night, and was extremely sleepy. He squinted for a while on the bed behind the Bisha cupboard, really as if he couldn’t get rid of his clothes.

Earlier, after learning from the imperial physician that the old lady could not survive the end of winter, she wrote to Pei Youan and told him the news.

Although the old lady once prevented her from writing to Pei Youan, lest he be distracted outside. But the situation was different then and now.

Let him come back and meet his dying grandmother, which is as important as business affairs in Jiafu’s view.

The old lady has been unable to eat or drink for the past few days, and spent most of her time in a lethargy, relying on the ginseng soup to keep her spirits up.

Jiafu knew in her heart that she should also be waiting for Pei Youan.

In such a heavy snowy night, where did his footsteps go for that person?

Gaffer stood in front of the window, looking at the heavy snow drifting in the night sky, resting her forehead on the icy window lattice. When she was in a daze, she suddenly heard a rush of rustling snow from the courtyard, and then A faintly surprised cry from a woman’s ear: “Master is back!”

With a heartbeat, Jia Fu’s blood boiled suddenly, turned around abruptly, rushed out, and turned to the outside. Before reaching the door, he saw that the curtain of the door was beaten up, and a man leaned slightly and walked quickly.

Pei Youan is really back!

The ice and snow fell on his shoulders and his eyebrows. His eyes were flushed with bloodshot eyes, and his whole body was cold, as if he had just come out of an ice hole.

“Big cousin—”

Before Jia Fu finished calling, he choked up and stopped in front of him, his eyes flushed.

Pei Youan didn’t pause in his footsteps. He walked quickly in front of her, opened her arms and took her into his arms. He bowed his head and kissed her forehead quickly with his icy lips, and then whispered: “Mo I’m afraid, I’m back.”

As if soothing her, he closed his arms, hugged her hard, and then let go.

“Where is grandmother?”

“Inside!”

Gaffer suppressed the tumbling emotions in his heart, and immediately turned around, Pei Youan followed him, hurriedly inside.
