Wishing You Eternal Happiness - Chapter 76

Gaffer’s first reaction was to refuse.

She wants to be with him, wherever he goes.

But Pei Youan’s tone was as gentle as he had always been and seemed to be the tone of negotiation with her, but Jiafu heard clearly. His words contained a kind of as if he had already decided, and she only had to follow the orders he arranged to do. The meaning.

Gaffer usually loves to act like a baby in front of him intentionally or unconsciously, knowing that it will work for him, and he will give in because of her acting like a baby.

But she also knows that acting like a baby doesn’t work every time.

For example, this time. Her instinct told her that he would not change his mind.

Gaffer stared at him blankly, without saying a word.

“Long live this time to recall me, it should be for me to do errands. I will take you back to Beijing. If you have to go out of Beijing within two days and leave you alone in Beijing, how about staying at your mother’s house?”

He put her in his arms: “Fuer, obedient, after a while, I will pick you up.”

The emperor’s edict was very urgent, and Pei Youan had to leave the next day.

That night, he took Jiafu together and went to explain to Meng’s reason. Zhen Yaoting was also there. He was surprised and surprised to learn that he would leave for Beijing tomorrow and leave Jiafu at home temporarily.

Meng originally thought that his son-in-law would stay here for at least half a year, but he didn’t expect that before a month had passed, he would leave in a hurry. The emperor’s order is too hard to violate, so he can only let him go, hurried out, and personally led his wife to pack the clothes that he would take on the road tomorrow.

Pei Youan asked Jiafu to go back to the house first, and then he called Zhen Yaoting out, held back the people on the left and right, and asked him what he planned to do in the future.

In front of him, Zhen Yaoting has always been restrained, listening to his questions, hesitatingly said: “Now the court bans the sea, the ships are in the dock, and a lot of losses have been lost in the past few days, and now I have no other idea. I can’t read it. Nothing else, we can only wait for the court to reopen the sea ban…”

In the past half a year, his grandmother Hu’s body and bones have broken down, and he also felt that he was burdened by his shoulders. I also felt extremely useless, and my face was a little hot.

Pei Youan said: “If I was right, this time the sea ban, I am afraid that the ban will not be lifted so quickly. After I return to Beijing, after some time, I will ask someone to send some money over, Zhang Da is steady, and you ask him to accompany you. Go and set up some suitable farmland. If you really can’t do business, you can be a farmer in the future, and you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life. After I am gone, Afu will entrust your eldest brother to take care of you. I will be here first. Thank you.”

Zhen Yaoting was surprised and excited: “Don’t worry, Master Pei! Afu is my sister. If you have something, she will stay at home as long as you want. Don’t say a year and a half, it’s a lifetime, and I will do it too. Take care of her! As for Tiandi Zhuangzi, how dare you send money to buy it? Although my family has some losses this time, but the foundation is still there, but only one more sister’s mouth. The court has banned the sea for ten years. As for Master Pei, you send money to buy land for my family!”

Pei Youan smiled: “It’s okay, mine is Afu’s, so how can I share each other. When I’m away, you take care of her for me, that’s what I want.”

Zhen Yaoting repeatedly agreed.

The state officials’ news is also well-informed. That night, I learned that Pei Youan was urgently called by the emperor, and that he would leave Quanzhou tomorrow. He rushed to Zhen’s house to see her farewell that night. Zhen’s house. Meng firmly remembered Jiafu’s instructions, how could he accept gifts without authorization? Ask the son and Zhang Da to receive, and be polite, and all the money gifts sent will be returned intact.

When Pei Youan was able to entertain and finally returned to the room, the second watch had already beaten the drum, and the silver candle in the room was shining brightly. After taking a shower, Jiafu was dressed like water, with blue silk hanging on her shoulders, sitting alone in front of the dressing table, holding it in her hand. A comb was combing her hair slowly. Hearing his footsteps in, put down the comb and got up to greet her. Pei Youan had walked behind her, picked up the comb, and helped her continue combing the long hair that had just been dried. , The movements were gentle and very careful, and did not hurt her scalp in the slightest.

Gaffer held back the parting sorrow in his heart, looked at the long man standing behind him in the mirror, and smiled: “Master Pei also combed his hair well. I’m surprised, there are things that Master Pei can’t do in the world. ?”

The weather is getting hot. After Pei Youan combed her hair, she tied a long hair that was as soft as silk to the top of her head, took a hairpin to fix it, and leaned slightly behind her shoulder, looking at the one reflected in the mirror. Shimizu’s delicate noodles: “Naturally there will be. For example, if a woman gives birth, I just want to learn, but I can’t learn it.”

What he said was serious, with a hint of regret in his tone. Gaffer froze for a moment, but couldn’t help it. He laughed sneer, holding his belly at first, and finally laughing. He couldn’t sit still. He was lying on the dressing table, and his mouth kept on.

Pei Youan was by the side, looking at her smiling, with a smile on his lips.

Jiafu gradually burst into tears, then stopped laughing, but the tears did not stop, a teardrop rolled down from his eye sockets, hit him bitterly, turned around and raised his hand to wipe indiscriminately, complaining in his mouth: “You are a good or bad person, deliberately making me laugh out of tears…”

Pei Youan bent over, picked her up from the bench, carried her to the bed, and put it down. Jiafu reached out and grabbed his sleeves, forced him to lie down with herself, and Pei Youan lay down beside her. She rolled over, rolled into his arms, and stretched her arms around him.

She hugged him tightly and buried her face on his chest, trying to hold back her tears as hard as she could. She didn’t want to let him see her tears again, but she refused to obey the tears, and quietly rolled from her eye sockets one by one.

“Don’t cry. After a while, I will come to pick you up.”

He said in her ear.

Gaffer still wanted to cry. At first, the tears only fell one by one, but later, they came out violently, wet his clothes.

At first, Pei Youan kept comforting, but then lowered his face to her, kissed her mouth, and cried with tears on her face.

Gaffer closed his eyes, tears were still overflowing, but because of forcibly enduring it, everyone burst into anger, and his body twitched in his arms.

Pei Youan kissed her. The exquisite chin tip, the slender jade neck, the water coming out of the new bath, the white body of a jade bottle, and then he gradually descended, and he didn’t even stop.

Gaffer felt his legs opened gently, gentle, but restrained her tightly, not allowing her to shrink and evade.

If there is a fragrance that seems to be nothing, it gradually condenses over the bed nets, and the bead curtain is gently swept by the night breeze from the south window, swaying in a circle like water ripples.

The girl in the Furong Tent with sad tears seemed to be drawn away from her strength, but her toes were tight, like falling into a misty abyss, like floating clouds, lying on her pillow, but she did not know where she was and closed her eyes and fainted. Shen Shen, chaos and chaos, a body to the end, only shuddering, like an unsupported water lotus in the wind of a lotus pond, red and beautiful fragrance swayed, wet flowers and moon.

The girl in her arms stopped crying and was so tired, she curled up on the side of his arm, closed her eyes and fell asleep, with a beautiful face of hibiscus, still blushing.

Pei Youan hugged her, motionless, awake and fell asleep till dawn.

…

Pei Youan was like this, leaving Quanzhou early the next morning and embarking on a journey back to Beijing.

Unlike a few months ago, he took Jiafu on the same boat and went south. This trip to the north, he took a quicker post road with stars and moons. He hurried all the way. In less than half a month, he arrived in the capital on that day. The palace handed over the letter, and then waited outside the palace gate, and was called in after not long waiting.

Xiao Lie saw him in the imperial study room.

The second watch is over. Pei Youan entered, seeing the bright lights in the hall, and Xiao Lie’s casual clothes sitting behind the case. He was full of memorials. Li Yuangui and a few eunuchs stood beside him. Hearing Pei Youan’s footsteps inside, Xiao Lie put down the cinnabar pen in his hand and lifted it up. Face.

With the candlelight shining, there were a few red threads in his eyes, and his face was faintly tired. When Pei Youan finished his worship, he smiled and told him to flatten.

Pei Youan got up, Xiao Lie asked him about the situation on the road, told him about his hard work, and then asked about the Japanese pirates in Quanzhou Pinghai. Pei Youan played it again. Xiao Lie was angry and pointed to the memorials on the case table: “Gao Huaiyuanshen As the governor of a province, the corpse is a vegetarian meal, so that the people along the coast suffer from the poison of Japanese pirates landing, what is the face of the court!”

“Long live to calm down the anger. Although the threat of Japanese pirates has been around for a long time, if the court has deployed more coastal defenses, it can send powerful people to the whole country.

“I have this intention. The Li Zhong whom you recommended as a compromise, I read his scribbles, he is clearly organized, and he is a man with a small heart. I will send his scribbles to the Ministry of War tomorrow and discuss it with the Ministry of War. This matter.”

“Long live Shengming, if the Japanese infestation is eliminated, the sea ban can be reopened, which is indeed a blessing for the people in the southeast coast.”

Xiao Lie looked at Pei Youan, with a slightly slow expression: “I know that the Zhen family fleet travels on the sea all year round. This time the court banned the sea, the livelihood will be affected, but this is a national strategy. When you are there, have you ever heard people complaining about me? ?”

Pei Youan said politely: “Long live, the court’s move is also for the purpose of prevention. The people hate the Japanese pirates for a long time. As long as the court has the heart to clear the Japanese, when the Haiyan river clears, the sea ban will naturally be reopened, how can the people be dissatisfied?”

Xiao Lie nodded and praised the fact that he supervised the arrest of the Eastern Guangdong thieves. Finally, he looked at Li Yuangui, and Li Yuangui led the **** back down and brought him to the palace gate.

Only Xiao Lie and Pei Youan were left in the hall, and the candlelight projected the two figures on the wall, and there were black shadows.

With his hands behind, Xiao Lie paced slowly on the ground, seemingly thoughtful, but without saying a word, the large study room was silent and silent, only the monotonous squeaking sound of his feet falling on the ground, condensed in his ears. .

He paced back, stopped in front of Pei Youan, suddenly turned around, and said, “Youan, I ask you, this trip to Quanzhou, apart from the memorial to me, there is nothing else to tell. I?”

After he finished speaking, staring at Pei Youan, the candle shadow throbbed under his eyes, and his eyes flickered slightly.

Pei Youan and him looked at each other for a while, and said: “There is something that is inconvenient to state in the memorial, so the minister thought, come back and report it to Long live face to face.”

“Speak up.”

“Long live, the anti-Japanese matter, the minister expected that there was nothing mentioned in the affair of the local officials. Long live did not know, the reason why the Japanese harassment was able to be repelled in time, protected the people of Quanzhou and Pinghai, and removed officials. Outside the military, the Golden Faced Dragon King has also contributed a lot.”

Xiao Lie kept silent.

Pei Youan continued: “This golden-faced dragon king has been mentioned in the memorials of local officials along the coast over the years, and Long live knows it. In the memorials of the officials, this person is a pirate, but the truth is not the case. Quite respected, because he walked on the sea, he was more sheltered by this person. But this is not what the minister wants to play today. What the minister wants to play is the true identity of this person, and he is General Dong Chengzhu of the Tianxi Dynasty.”

Xiao Lie’s expression was as usual, he didn’t seem to be surprised, and he just said to himself: “It is a pity that the general of the Tianxi court was killed by the king of Shun’an, so that he was living in the river and becoming a thief!”

Pei Youan knelt and kowtowed to Xiao Lie, who was holding his hands: “The minister is guilty.”

Xiao Lie slowly turned his head and looked at Pei Youan who was kneeling on the ground: “What is your sin?”

“Long live back, General Dong was the middle and old division of my father’s army. You’an knew the identity of the Golden Face Dragon King a few years ago. However, he did not report it because he considered that he had no relationship with him before. Long live without concealing it, I went to Quanzhou this time. , The accident happened, and the minister also met with General Dong.”

Xiao Lie stared at him for a moment, nodded, and smiled: “It’s okay, you get up. That Dong Chengzhu, I also know some of his old things. I must be frustrated with the court. This is the only way to go incognito and walk on the sea. As a man, I don’t blame you.”

He paused, his tone was a little careless, and he seemed to say casually: “Youan, besides this, what else did you gain from this trip to the south?”

Pei Youan knelt on the ground, his body straightened, and the emperor looked at each other for a moment, then kowtowed again: “Long live the enlightenment, besides that, the minister does have one more thing and wants to report long live.”

“What’s the matter?”

“The minister has news about Young Emperor Yu back then.”

Pei Youan said this sentence with a calm voice. With this sentence, the air in the study seemed to freeze instantly.

Pei Youan slowly straightened his body, met the two gazes from the middle-aged man opposite, and said calmly: “Long live also knows, the minister and Yu’er, there was a relationship between teachers and students, and the minister has been looking for him all these years. The whereabouts can be regarded as worthy of the intentions. This time I finally asked the minister to get what he wanted. Long live told the world that if Emperor Yan is still alive, he will be vacant and welcome him back to the capital. Yu’er entrusts the minister, long live the message, he is extremely grateful, It was even more frightened. The young emperor was dead, but now there is only one ordinary folk boy who yearns for freedom and travels to the North Sea. He is willing to return the Shouchang Jade Seal to the ancestral temple to show his support for Long Live King’s Landing.”

After Pei Youan finished speaking, the study fell silent again.

Xiao Lie stared at Pei Youan, his facial muscles beating slightly, his figure was dignified, and his expression gradually slowed down for a while, and he sighed: “Youan, what you said, I am really ashamed. He is still there, if I really don’t want to reply. Palace, retreat, and you can also be the king of peace and happiness. In this life, wealth is better than being reckless and precarious. You have a teacher-student relationship with him. If it is inconvenient for him to see me, you can speak for me.”

Pei Youan said: “Long live, even though Yu is only a young man, his heart is quite firm. It is useless if he has made up his mind, no matter how much the minister says. Moreover, long live the day he was enthroned is due to the destiny, and he is willing to offer his seal to support him, but It’s just obedience to the destiny. Long live the minister’s request, to fulfill the young man’s heart, and to fulfill the relationship between the minister and his teachers and students!”

Pei Youan’s remarks were extremely earnest, and after speaking, he knelt to the ground again, unable to kneel.

Xiao Lie stepped forward, lifted him up from the ground with his own hands, stared at his face, his eyes gradually revealed a soft color, and nodded: “Youan, I know what you want, I am very touched. If you rush back this way, it must be Hard work, go back and rest.”
