Wishing You Eternal Happiness - Chapter 73

Gaffer changed into men’s clothes, tied her hair to the top, and finished packing, ran out and stopped in front of him, turning around: “Big cousin, how about this?”

Pei Youan was leaning in front of the dressing, beckoning her to come, turning around, took a man’s hairpin from the hairpin, inserted her in the bun, looked at it, smiled, and under the dim moon shadow, she became A little waiter with him.

There was a carriage parked outside the door, Yang Yun Qingyi Xiaomao, drove his horse and waited. Pei Youan did not bring other entourages, lightly raised Gaffer into the carriage, and sat in with him, exited the Nancheng Gate, and walked to an Erythrina grove near the seaside guard. General Li led several of his associates. Waiting there on horseback.

Civil officials like to travel by car and sedan, which shows their identity and is more comfortable. Although Pei Youan also led troops on the march, some time ago, he was also brought to justice for the Tonghai thieves who had been suffering from Guangdong and Fujian for many years. However, in the eyes of Chief Li, Jindian Chuan He, young Qingxiang, he is still a model of civil servants, so he was not surprised to see him here by car.

Pei Youan got out of the car and changed to horseback riding. He was surrounded by a group of people and left, leaving Yang Yun holding his horse whip, leaning in front of the car, as if sleepy, waiting for the owner to return.

The moon was blue and white, and it was sprinkled on the Erythrina grove like a curtain of water.

Just on the road, Pei Youan said to Jiafu that he would patrol the coast with Li Zongbing and others tonight, and told her to stay in the car and wait for him.

Gaffer sat in the dim car with the shadow of the tree, listening to the waves not far away, and waited quietly.

The moon shadow gradually rose. In the middle of the sea, Jiafu heard the sound of horseshoes outside, and Pei Youan returned.

General Li’s family is not in Quanzhou, so he stayed at the guard station tonight. He drafted a coastal defense plan overnight. He had to send Pei Youan back to the city. Pei Youan resigned and told him to stay.

Zongbing Li has been with him for half a month, knowing that although this young adult is in a high position, he is determined, but he is strict in inspecting, he is personal, frugal and diligent, and he does not like the unimpeded officialdom. Because of the red tape, I didn’t dare to send it away. The leader stopped far away and watched him board the carriage. The carriage exited the thornwood forest and headed towards the city gate. It gradually disappeared into the night. After dispersing, he hurriedly entered the sanctuary.

With a small hand, Jiafu was held by the man next to her, holding her breath, and standing behind the tall and tall eryngium bushes. The two figures were blocked by the shadow cast by the lush tree canopy. When the carriage left, the soldiers gradually dispersed, and she looked up at him.

He lowered his head slightly, and the shadow of the tree cast a dark night shadow over his head.

“I’m going to meet an old friend.”

He squeezed her hand tightly, said in a low voice, then took her and turned around.

Gaffer’s heartbeat speeded up suddenly, took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement and tension that seemed to follow him on the adventure, and lifted his heels up.

She was led by him, silently passing through this thorny tree forest, stepping into a snow-white rocky beach covered by moonlight, and finally turned into a deserted sea depression.

On the banks of the reef, a fishing sampan stopped, and the hull slowly rippled with the waves gently slamming the shore.

Pei Youan picked up Jiafu, waded across the shallows where the water was below the thigh, came to the side of the sampan, put Jiafu in, and got on the boat.

He reached the reef with an oar, and after pushing the sampan out of the col, he sat on the stern, raised his sculls, and rowed out.

At this moment, the tide is slowly receding, with a flat boat on the surface of the sea, breaking the waves, and heading forward.

The waves are calm tonight, and the silver moon is reflected on the distant black sea. The moonlight is jumping, and the boat is floating on it, as if floating on a black gemstone with sparkling stars.

Gaffer sat at the bow of the ship, facing Pei Youan, sometimes seeing him not rushing and paddling the boat, smiling at each other; sometimes bending over and leaning out, reaching out into the sea, allowing the cool water to flow between his fingers; or facing the sea breeze , Looking far away, but seeing the starry night into the water, the boat is full of dreams, I can’t help but wonder, no matter where the man in the same boat under the moonlight, he will take himself, I just hope that at this moment, Penglai is not old, companion You help each other.

The sampan flowed out of the sea, and gradually approached a small rocky island where the ebb and flow came out, and the high tide was hidden. The bow gently touched the shore, Pei Youan got off the boat, fixed the cable, and took Jiafu onto the wet rocky shore, stood still, and looked around. Immediately he took a whistle and blew a seabird imitation sound. After a rock in the distance, a man appeared.

The man rushed to the front, and Jiafu looked at him. Under the moonlight, he saw a middle-aged man with a tall and beard. He called “the eldest son” and knelt toward Pei Youan.

Pei Youan took a stride and lifted him up.

The middle-aged man looked a little excited: “The eldest son, I haven’t heard from you for a long time. I can’t wait to hear the news the day before, so I finally waited until tonight, but he quietly came here alone according to the eldest son’s instructions. Don’t worry, the young man, even the young man, the final general did not let him know…”

He looked at Gaffer standing behind Pei You’an, paused, and turned to Pei You’an with a bewildered look, “The eldest son, this is…”

Pei Youan looked at Jiafu with soft eyes: “She is the girl from the Zhen family in Quanzhou. She is now my wife. I have been married to her for more than a year. Uncle Dong, you are not an outsider. Because of her brother, so I brought her with me so that she could personally say thank you to Uncle Dong.”

The middle-aged man just noticed the little waiter who came with Pei You’an. Under the shadow of the moon, he saw the little waiter’s face, Ruoyu, male and female, and he was a little strange. He wondered why Pei Youan took such a person with him. He did not expect her identity. .

He looked at Jiafu again, recognizing that she was a woman, and couldn’t help but let out an “ah”: “She was saved that year…”

He stopped suddenly.

Pei Youan smiled, nodded, and motioned for Jiafu to come over: “Fu’er, this is the golden-faced dragon king. I call him Uncle Dong. Your brother and the others can return to Hong Kong safely this time, and it’s all about Uncle Dong.”

On the way here, Jiafu thought, who the “old man” Pei Youan said would be, and never thought that what he saw was his brother’s savior, the famous sea dragon king.

Although Pei Youan didn’t say much, Jiafu just noticed that this middle-aged man claimed to be the last general and called Pei Youan the eldest son. He was so respectful towards him. It is not difficult to infer that he should have been the former Ministry of the National Government, not to mention. , He also saved his brother this time.

Jiafu stood in awe, bowed to him, and was blessed: “Thank you, Uncle Dong! That day, when my brothers and them returned, the villagers all praised the dragon king’s merits. On behalf of my grandmother, mother, and this time I have the honor to rely on. Uncle Dong blessed the hundreds of villagers who were able to return home, and thanked Uncle Dong for his life-saving kindness!”

Dong Chengzhu hurriedly avoided the side and waved his hand: “Madam has broken the dead end. It is the end of the end, why do you need so much courtesy?”

Pei Youan took off his coat, laid on a flat rock on the ground, helped Jiafu to sit down, squatted in front of her, looked at her, and leaned in and said in a low voice: “I have a few more words to say with Uncle Dong. , You sit here and wait, I’ll be by the side, calling me if I have something to do.”

Gaffer nodded.

Pei Youan touched her head as usual, and then got up, walked to the side of a reef dozens of steps away from Jiafu with Dong Chengzhu, and stopped.

Dong Chengzhu still sighed: “The eldest son, I really did not expect that the Zhen family’s daughter who saved the little son before now becomes the eldest son’s wife. It is a match made in heaven, great!”

Pei Youan turned his head, glanced at the petite figure sitting quietly in the moonlight, and smiled: “Although the talented son has already thanked Uncle Dong, I also want to thank him again. Uncle Dong, you are loyal to the liver and bravery. You have not only protected you for the past few years. With Yuer, there is no complaint or regret, and I am in the grass, I still don’t forget to bless the people. This time I expelled the Japanese pirates for the people of Quanzhou and Pinghai, doing a feat of righteousness, and making me and other people living in the temple, I am ashamed.” Give him a deep bow.

Dong Chengzhu hurriedly replied: “Why did the eldest son say this! The officers and soldiers are not able to move out, and if there is still a little blood in my chest, I will not sit and watch the Japanese pirates bloodbath my coastal people. This is my part! I will only be worried in the end. This time the incident happened suddenly, and the movement was a bit big, which violated the original intention of the eldest son who wanted me to hide my power and obscure my deeds. I was afraid that in case the court caught the attention of the court, it would be fine for the final life and death, lest the younger son be brought out.”

Pei Youan groaned.

Dong Chengzhu’s expression changed slightly: “The eldest son, did you really miss the news?”

Pei Youan replied: “Uncle Dong’s peace. This time it was indeed a bit of a misfortune, which triggered the Quanzhou General Guard’s speculation about your identity, but the problem is not big. “

Dong Chengzhu breathed a sigh of relief, with a slight ashamed expression on his face: “I’m going to act, but I still haven’t considered it. I almost caused a big disaster. Thank you, the eldest son, for your suggestion. I will be more cautious when I go back.”

Pei Youan said: “You have the people in your heart, why are you wrong? Why do you have to blame yourself? Only when I meet you this time, I really have something to confess to you. Long live today, I once told the world that if the young man is still alive, he will be false. Wei welcomes his return. I have followed Long live for many years and dare not judge. He said this insincerely, but he did not dare to conclude that Long live his heart is indeed the same. As far as I know, over the years, Long live has sent spies to track down the whereabouts of the little boy. Always endless. As you said earlier, the movement this time is a bit bigger, and I am always a little worried. After you go back this time, don’t do anything for the time being, wait for my news, and be prepared in case something happens. A changed path of retreat. Taking precautions is always better than making up for it.”

Dong Chengzhu nodded: “The final will be written down!”

…

Gaffer sat on the stone face, looking at the figures of Pei Youan and the Golden Face Dragon King not far away. The wind blew and the faint voice of both of them could be heard. He only heard the noise and the sea breeze. , Dissipated in the night.

She had no intention of listening to what Pei Youan and the Golden Face Dragon King said.

She had a feeling, just like Pei Youan’s unspeakable secret origin, in addition to the emperor’s approach to the minister, he had another secret world that he couldn’t know.

Tonight, he was finally willing to take her here and introduce her to him in another secret world as his wife. She was already very satisfied.

She lifted her cheeks and stared at the figure of the man under the moon. As she gradually became absorbed in her sight, she suddenly felt that there seemed to be an abnormal movement nearby.

She turned her face, and by the moonlight, after seeing a rock nearby, there seemed to be a figure flickering. She was taken aback. She was about to shout Pei Youan loudly. The person behind the stone quickly poked his head out and grinned at her. Under the moonlight, a pair of neatly white teeth was revealed. Seeing her suddenly widened her eyes, she hurriedly pressed her lips with her fingers, and sighed softly at her.

This is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy with dark skin, wet head and face, as if he had just drilled out of the water, but his eyes were exceptionally bright. When he looked at her, his eyes were filled with fine crystals of joy. .

Gaffer was stunned, staring at the young man fixedly, her eyes widening, and suddenly shouted: “It’s you? Are you still alive?”
