Two months later, in the early spring, in the depths of the vast wilderness outside Suye City, the horizon was still covered with undissolved snow, but near the city and fireworks, the soil that had been frozen for a long winter has been frozen. Start to soften slowly. After a few days of sunshine, in front of the low house in the stockyard, two days ago, there were clusters of wet moss in the east and west, and sporadic wet moss had quietly emerged from the cracks in the stones at the corners of the walls.
After noon, Pei Youan rode the snow to Suye City. Because of the news, Mr. Tang came to Suye City in person, and asked Pei Youan to come over—not long after the last war, Mrs. Tang sent someone to Suyecheng to temporarily take over the Dusi Mansion, and Pei Youan returned to the stockyard. While waiting for the follow-up to be dealt with, I spent the first days of being a parent with Jia Fu, taking care of Ci'er, conditioning Jia Fu's body, busy and busy, and before I knew it, two months passed.
In the last incident, although Mr. Tang had previously told him to allow Pei You'an to act "cheaply", the "cheap" had reached such a level that, to put it more seriously, it was a rebellion. In the past two months, Mr. Tang must have reported the matter to the emperor.
Although based on intuition, Jiafu felt that it should be no big deal, thinking that the emperor would not cut off Pei You'an's head anyway, but he was not sure what the emperor was thinking right now. In case he is still annoyed by Pei You'an, it is not impossible for him to take the opportunity to put on a pair of small shoes for him, and get a crime plus one class or something. Therefore, after Pei Youan went, Jiafu was a little uneasy, and took her son and two girls to do needlework in the house, killing time. At night, I played with my son for a while. Seeing that he was sleepy, he went to bed to breastfeed. Ci'er was full and gradually fell asleep.
Jiafu leaned against the head of the bed, picked up the tiger-toed shoe that she had not finished during the day, and slowly sewed the little tiger on the toe, when she suddenly heard the sound of the door being gently pushed open, she turned her head and saw Pei You'an returned.
Pei You'an took off his coat, went to wash his hands, and walked gently to the bedside, leaned over to see his sleeping son, touched his little face lightly, a smile appeared on his lips, and then sat beside the bed, He stretched out his hand towards Jia Fu.
Jiafu fell into his arms and asked him in a low voice if he had eaten. He said that he had used it with Mr. Tang in the city.
Catherine saw that he seemed to have something to say to herself, so she looked up at him.
Pei You'an gently stroked her hair that was hanging around her waist, "Fu'er, I saw the boss during the day. The court allowed him to retire and serve, and soon the boss will return to the customs, disarm and return to his hometown. It's just... "
"The imperial court asked the eldest eldest who could replace me, the eldest lord recommended me, and the imperial court approved. Today, the eldest lord came with the will of the imperial court..."
He paused.
The imperial decree read out to him by Mr. Tang today first listed his crimes. The emperor reprimanded him for his daring actions and lack of discipline. In the end, he made a great contribution. After that, he immediately submitted to the Longyou Jiedu envoy to plead guilty. It was found that it was indeed out of public interest, so he was punished lightly and punished with a year's salary. And because of the strong recommendation of Mr. Tang, who also issued a guarantee, the court decided to accept the recommendation of Mr. Tang and appointed Pei You'an to take over the post of Longyou Jiedu. I hope he will keep the lesson in mind, be loyal to the monarch and the country, and never let it go. The court has high hopes for him, and so on and so on.
Gave breathed a sigh of relief.
Turns out I was thinking too much.
More than a year after leaving the capital, this time something like this happened, the emperor not only did not ask the slightest sin, but instead let him take the post of Jiedushi.
Although Pei You'an died in this Jiedushi official position in his last life, he has circled around in this life, and finally he returned to this position. But Jaffe wasn't worried.
She was convinced that the death of Pei You'an in Suyecheng in the previous life must have something to do with Xiao Yintang, which can be inferred from Xiao Yintang's dreams before his death.
In this lifetime, Xiao Yintang has been abolished and imprisoned in Gengzhou, the ancestral home of the Xiao family. It is very unlikely that he wants to turn over. As for Zhang Fengtong, the abolished prince concubine, according to Cui Yinshui, she had given birth to a baby girl before, and she died before the full moon. Zhang Fengtong was so grief-stricken that she cried day and night. In front of the palace servants, she mixed the filth into the food to eat, everyone was shocked, but she laughed and laughed, and had a conversation with her deceased daughter, undressing and breastfeeding. At that time, half a year had passed. According to the crime, he was supposed to be sent to the ancestral land to be imprisoned together. Zhang Lao, who had returned to his hometown at that time, wrote a letter to the emperor and begged for mercy from the emperor. The emperor ordered the imperial doctor to examine Zhang Fengtong. The Yunzhang family took the abolished Crown Princess back. It is said that since then, Zhang's family has been imprisoned in the deep courtyard, without seeing the light of day. If you want to come to this life, this is the end of your life.
Everything is different from before. In this life, even if Pei Youan went around in circles, he finally returned to Suye City, and even took the post of military governor, but Jiafu knew that he and she would definitely walk hand in hand and grow old together.
"Fu'er, should I take the post of Jiedu Envoy or not?"
Pei You'an's expression was a little dignified, she was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked her.
Jiafu got up from his arms, looked at him and said, "Big cousin, although you ask me, I know that you should have already thought about it in your heart. Although the seal of the Jiedu envoy was given by the imperial court. , the salary you receive is also issued by the imperial court, but those who call you adults and hope that you will bring them a peaceful life are thousands of common people. Big cousin, you are an official, not for the emperor. It is for the common people. It was the same in the past, and it is the same now. If you don't do it, you can replace it with another Hu Liang. In the end, the one who suffers is to rule the common people. The court has a will, and the old man recommends it like this. You are guaranteed, if you push back…”
Jiafu glanced at him quietly, "After all, that person is the emperor, can you cure your crime of disobeying the decree and not to mention, have you not betrayed the trust of the boss?"
After receiving the decree in the daytime, Pei You'an felt a little dazed. After returning, he couldn't help asking Yu Jiafu. This was just a word of mouth, but he didn't expect her to persuade him so much. Speaking of my heart, I stayed for a while, couldn't help feeling ashamed, and sighed: "Fu'er, I'm a big man, when this happened, my heart is not as open as you, a woman. What you said is that being an official is a I did it for the sake of the people, not for the sake of one family. How could I disappoint the old man when he trusted me so much? This sash was used by my late father in the past, and now I follow him. Not in vain for the kindness that my father gave to me in the past!"
The so-called fan of the authorities, because of his current relationship with the man in the palace, Jiafu knew that there should be a lump in his heart at first, so he hesitated.
Smart people have a knot in their hearts, but they are often the most difficult to resolve. Seeing that he was told by himself, he was happy, but he frowned on purpose: "Big cousin, what do you mean by this? Why do women have to be more narrow-minded than men?"
Pei Youan was startled, then laughed, patted his forehead, held Jiafu on his lap, kissed her and apologized to her, it was night, the warmth in the room was infinite, and Ci'er beside him was very well-behaved, sleeping in the embrace Beside his parents, he slept soundly all night until dawn.
Half a month later, the former Jiedushi of Longxi resigned, and Pei You'an took over the post of Jiedushi.
The news spread, and the people of the entire Suye City were boiling.
It should be noted that after the war was over that day, Pei You'an handed in the seal to the people sent by Mr. Tang, took all the guilt, and after leaving the city, all the people in the city were sweating for him, lest the emperor punish him, I learned this news today. , is there any reason to be unhappy? It's just that Jiedushi's mansion in Longxi has always been located in Yongzhou, which is closer to the gate, and is far away from the border city of Suye. The people are happy and reluctant to leave Pei Youan. The next day, many people gathered spontaneously, and the number of people was large. Thousands of people came to the stockyard with gongs and drums all the way.
Jiafu was packing things in the house at the time, and Pei Youan was lying on the bed, holding Ci'er to his chest and teasing Jiao'er. The room was filled with laughter from father and son.
She has lived here for nearly a year and a half, and now she is going to move out, and Jiafu feels a little reluctant. The so-called broom is precious, even the old bed that was repaired by Pei You'an's leg is full of warm memories when I look at it now. There was a commotion, and Lao Ding hurried back and shouted from a distance: "Master Pei, there are many people in the city, and they want to see off Master Pei and his wife!"
Pei Youan sat up and looked at Jiafu. Jiafu hurriedly picked up Ci'er and handed it over to Sandalwood to help Pei You'an sort out his clothes. When the two went outside, they saw that the gate of the stockyard was crowded with people. Some were holding chickens and some were carrying chickens. There was also a little girl who was drinking, holding a little lamb in her arms. When she saw Pei Youan and Jiafu coming out, they ran over quickly and lifted the little lamb high, and an old man kowtowed: "This is my grandson. , this lamb was raised by him, and I brought it over today, please don't dislike it, adults and madams, it is really a little thought of the old man's family!"
His voice fell, and the others knelt down one after another, vying to deliver what they brought.
Pei Youan hurriedly went to help the old man, and then called everyone to get up, saying that he would not accept anything, but those people would not listen, he helped this one, the other knelt down, surrounded him, and one person said: "If there is no adult to protect him that day. Living in the city, we people don't know what to do now, let alone these things! Please accept them!"
Jiafu was moved, and she was even more proud of having such a husband. Seeing that child was still holding a lamb, he knelt down like his grandfather. Although the lamb was only a few months old, it was already raised round and round. It can be seen that he was carefully cared for and thought it was a little heavy. The child was a little hard to lift, but he still tried hard to bear it, so he went over and took the lamb out of his hand. Li hugged it down and said with a smile, "You like this lamb a lot, don't you? Take it back, Master Pei won't accept it."
The child seemed shy, but shook his head in refusal.
Pei You'an showed a slightly moved expression, raised his hand, signaled everyone to be quiet, and said, "Pei is just doing his duty, but he has received so much love from many elders. Pei is grateful and even more ashamed. When I was a teenager, I had two Du has been to Suye City, and has a different feeling for this place. This city is adjacent to the border, with a large population, and its geography is even more difficult. To be honest with all the elders, Pei is considering relocating the Jiedu Envoy's Office to this place in the future. It is more conducive to defending the border guards. The elders and elders have their thoughts today, and Pei and his wife have received them, but these things, please bring them all back!"
The people were reluctant to let him go. When they heard him say that the government office would be moved here, they cheered loudly, but they refused to take those things away anyway. , all smiles.
Pei You'an is an unparalleled ingenuity, and facing so many people who forcibly put down things and leave, there is nothing he can do for a while.
Jiafu took a step forward and said loudly to the crowd: "Fathers and elders, the emperor has strictly ordered that if officials take things from the people, it will be regarded as making money. Wei Law. Please listen to the words of Lord Pei. Your heart has been accepted. My husband and wife are very grateful, but please take back these things!"
Pei You'an was reminded and hurriedly clasped his fists.
After Jiafu finished speaking, she picked up the little lamb with her own hands, put it back into the child's arms, smiled, and helped him up from the ground.
The people looked at each other for a moment, and then they had no choice. They picked up the things they had just put down, but in their hearts, they admired and respected the new Jiedushi couple who were about to arrive. They knelt down and thanked them again, and then got up. , went happily.
A month later, the imperial court approved that the government of the Jiedu envoy in Zhunxi was relocated to Suye City, and the government was located in the original Dusi's mansion.
On this day at the end of April in the third year of Zhaoping, under the protection of a team of soldiers, Pei You'an took Jiafu and Ci'er, who were sitting in a carriage, into Suye City and moved in to the sound of gongs and drums welcomed by the people. Jiedushifu.
