Wishing You Eternal Happiness - Chapter 96

It was late at night that Hu Liangyou returned to the city from horseback. He headed back to the capital. Hu Liangcai was still discussing border defense with the shogunate. Hu Liangyou rushed in and shouted: “Big Brother! You have to call the shots for me!”

Hu Liangcai saw that he was covered in mud and embarrassed. He was taken aback and hurriedly asked why. Hu Liangyou added fuel and jealousy to the day’s affairs. He straightened his neck, revealing a red and purple bruise on his neck, and said:” Big brother, this Pei Youan is very ruthless, my brother I almost died in his hands! I’ll leave it, big brother, you treat him kindly, but he didn’t put you in the slightest! If you don’t give him some color, let’s see. Brother’s face, where will I leave it in Suye City from now on!”

Hu Liangcai was furious, walked a few steps outside, but stopped abruptly, turned around and told Hu Liangyou to go out first, and asked himself about the shogunate. One of the shogunate, surnamed Yang, was familiar with the imperial court and official affairs, and said: “Master Hu, this matter must not be reckless! Pei Youan used to be a close minister to the emperor. Long live he relied heavily on him, and it is obvious to all that he was suddenly sent here for this reason. , It’s really strange. The court has no half-paper official documents so far. There are different opinions. From the perspective of a villain, adults should not offend him too much. You must know that Dongshan will rise again. Moreover, the Pei family and father and son have deep roots here. Therefore, the time is still short. If you move him, I’m afraid he won’t be able to catch it. In case of trouble, I’m afraid it will be difficult to clean up. It is better to summon the generals and entourage to ask clearly what happened today. So that something happened.”

Hu Liangcai was reminded by the shogunate’s words, and hurriedly summoned Hu Liangyou’s entourage, and after some forced questions, he quickly learned what happened. Originally chased the horse into the stockyard and molested Pei Youan’s wife, and then suffered from the pain of Maso’s neck collar. He was angry and hated, angry that his brother caused trouble, and hated that Pei Xian imposed military punishment on himself in public. Now Pei Youan didn’t give himself any face, forcibly suppressed his anger, summoned Hu Liangyou, severely reprimanded him, and ordered him to stay away from the material yard, so as not to cause trouble.

Hu Liangyou suffered a lot. At this moment, his throat was still red and swollen and painful. He thought that his brother would vent his anger for himself. He didn’t expect that instead of being able to do what he wanted, he was taught a lesson, but he retired.

A few days later, in the middle of the night, a warehouse in the stockyard suddenly burst into flames, but before the two set fires had time to escape, they were caught by Yang Yun who was guarding nearby. There was a sound of gongs, and Lao Ding led people quickly. Arrived, quickly put out the fire.

The two arsonists who were caught were Hu Liangyou’s entourage that day. Yang Yun interrogated them overnight. Only after two or two, the two confessed, saying that they were ordered by Hu Liangyou to sneak in and set the fire in the middle of the night.

The army horse’s food and grass have been stored for three months in the stockyard. Regardless of whether the fire burns or eats people, if the warehouse is burned down, the army horse loses the source of the food and grass. According to the military law, the guardian is the crime of beheading.

Pei Youan ordered Yang Yun to tie up the people, and together with the confession, he sent them to the Dusi’s mansion overnight and handed them to Hu Liangcai.

The next day, the shogunate Yang next to Hu Liangcai came, respectfully facing Pei Youan, and brought two heads. It was the two people who set fire last night to make amends. He also said that Hu Liangyou was caught by these two people. Huo, this was just a moment of confusion and went astray. Master Hu had already beaten Hu Liangyou’s army stick to show punishment. Originally, Hu Liangyou had to come together today, but his legs and feet were broken and he couldn’t get up. Pei Youan, please forgive me.

Pei Youan didn’t say anything but smiled and was polite, and sent away the Shogunate Yang. The matter finally passed, and the Hu Liangyou never came again.

Gaffer finally let go of her mind, feeding chickens and walking horses every day. Because the weather is getting warmer, she and two girls are busy cutting single clothes and making new shoes. Although her life is poor, she is simple and stable. Except sometimes miss the recent situation of relatives at home, it can be said that the world is well. Unexpectedly, when I got up early in the morning, I suddenly felt nauseous and retched. At first, I thought that I had eaten my stomach last night, so I stopped vomiting a few times, so I didn’t care about it. Pei Youan saw it by the side, but showed a slight nervousness, and immediately helped her lie down, took one of her wrists, and checked her pulse.

Seeing that he was taking the matter seriously, at first he even made fun of him. When he saw that he had the pulse, he stared at himself without saying a word, his eyes flickered, and his expression seemed mixed with joy and sorrow. Suddenly he realized: “We have children. NS?”

Pei Youan nodded.

Gaffer was startled, and she got up from the bed: “Big cousin, I’m really a child? You didn’t lie to me?”

Pei Youan nodded again.

Gaffer gave a short scream in excitement, and threw his head into his arms.

Pei Youan hugged her and lowered her head. Seeing her joyously excited appearance like a child, her heart was gradually filled with joyful tenderness. He patted her back gently, and when she calmed down her emotions, he gently laid her down. On the bed, he touched her flat belly and smiled: “Taxue has a bad temper. Starting today, I can’t ride it anymore. Have you heard?”

Gaffer nodded, raised her face and looked at him for a moment, then touched his face, showing anxiety: “Big cousin, I have a baby. Are you unhappy?”

“Are you worried that if you give birth to a child at this time, you will be said to be unfilial?”

She hesitated and asked.

Pei Youan was taken aback, and then understood, thinking that her only concerns had been noticed by her. Hearing that she was so worried, she laughed, and shook her head: “As long as grandmother doesn’t blame it, what’s there to be afraid of?”

He lay down with her, hugged her, hugged her tightly for a moment, and Fang whispered: “Fuer is going to have a baby for me, how can I be unhappy? I just thought of the difficult circumstances now, afraid of the future. I’ve wronged you and my child…”

Gaffer shook his head: “I am not wronged. We children, whether boys or girls, will definitely be the same as me, looking forward to seeing Daddy when we are born.”

Pei Youan smiled, his eyes gleaming, and he hugged her tightly again.

Soon, Sandalwood Muxiang, Ding Ma, and others knew that Jiafu was pregnant one after another. They were all overjoyed and came over to say joy. Since then, Jiafu raised her baby with peace of mind, and Pei Youan treated her like a pearl, taking care of her in every possible way.

The news of her pregnancy was transmitted to the imperial palace thousands of miles away shortly after showing her abdomen.

That day, the emperor’s mood was originally very bad. After the dispersal of the dynasty, a few ministers who had just come out of the imperial study room who were sweating coldly because of their inability to handle affairs-the emperor’s emotions have always been impermanent in the past six months, and Li Yuangui has long been accustomed to it. When the ministers disperse, he immediately report .

After the emperor heard the news, he sat there, motionless, for a long while, his eyes showed a faint excitement and a light of joy that he hadn’t seen in a long time.

Li Yuangui saw the opportunity and said: “Long live, the slave and maid also received the news that Su Ye Du Si Hu Liang was sentenced to Duke Wei Guo in his early years, and now he has complained and disrespect Master Pei. His brother sent someone to vent his anger. The arson yard deliberately harmed Master Pei.”

The emperor showed anger on his face, and suddenly stood up: “What happened to him?”

“Long live, rest assured,” Li Yuangui hurriedly said, “Fortunately, Master Pei was prepared. At that time, he caught the arsonist, Master Pei and Mrs. Pei, and they were all safe and sound.”

The emperor sat back slowly again and said coldly: “If there is nothing wrong, why should you report to me? He doesn’t have his hands and eyes open to the sky, and he has no tactics? He has a lot of skills! When you get to such a place, you are not as good as a fish now? We know everything every day, so in the future, don’t bother me with this kind of thing!”

“Yes, yes, the servant understands…”

Li Yuangui wiped his sweat and couldn’t help nodding.

“If you pass my word, you must protect the Zhen family well, and there must be no mistakes!”

Before Li Yuangui withdrew, the emperor stopped him again and ordered.

Li Yuangui answered, bowed and retired.

…

Time flicked by, and suddenly more than half a year passed. By the winter of November of this year, Jiafu was already pot-bellied. Counting the days, it would not be another month, it should be the delivery date.

As the abdomen gets bigger and bigger, her legs and feet are also swollen, and she feels a little uncomfortable. When she goes to bed at night, Pei Youan will always knead her legs and feet, tirelessly until she falls asleep.

That night, Jiafu curled up in Pei Youan’s warm arms, sleeping deep, and was suddenly awakened by a noise from outside. He listened carefully, and there was a faint sound of horses neighing in the distance. Then, Lao Ding’s voice rang outside the door: “Master Pei, a military order has suddenly come from the headquarters, and we must urgently call for fodder!”

Pei Youan sat up and told Jiafu to continue to sleep. He dressed himself and opened the door. He came to the front. Seeing that the door of the warehouse was open and the surrounding torches were brightly lit, the brigade came, a commanding officer named Liang. People, carry bags of forage onto the cart, and the soldiers rushed back and forth to transport them. Old Ding and the other awakened soldiers stood aside and watched, whispering.

The Zuo Jiang surnamed Liang saw Pei Youan and hurried up to salute him with a respectful attitude.

Pei Youan turned sideways to avoid: “I am not an official, the general does not need to be polite. But I don’t know why so much forage is suddenly adjusted tonight?”

He just looked at the adjustment list, this amount is enough to supply rations for 10,000 war horses for several months.

General Liang Zuo said: “Master Hu got urgent news. Hu and Hui people colluded and wanted to dispatch one hundred thousand cavalry to attack Jianmen Pass and attempt to enter the pass. Master Hu urgently responded and sent the generals to transport forage and dispatch troops soon. Go to Arrow Gate.”

Pei Youan looked towards Jianmenguan in the dark night and pondered for a long time. The next morning, I entered Suye City and went straight to the gate of the Toshifu. I saw that the door was open. From time to time there were officers in full armor coming in and out. Their expressions were solemn. Many people gathered nearby, talking in a low voice. A kind of atmosphere before the war is about to come, pounces on the face.

He rarely enters the city on weekdays, and stands in front of the gate of the capital, and the two guards don’t recognize him either. Pei Youan went up the steps, reported his name, and asked the guard to pass the report on his behalf. A guard opened his eyes and looked up and down Pei Youan, showing an expression of disbelief: “Are you the Lord Pei in the capital?”

Pei Youan smiled slightly: “It’s Pei. I will report on my behalf. I have something to see Master Tosi.”

The guard hurriedly asked him to wait a moment, turned around and quickly entered, and his figure disappeared inside the gate of the capital.
