The Mingshou Dharma is to be done for seven days, and after the seventh day is the perfect day, the posthumous tablet will be offered to the monastery to receive the eternal incense.
Mrs. Pei, her two daughters-in-law, and Pei Quan, stay tonight to continue to abide by the law for the old man for three days. The grandchildren will be able to return home in the evening when they are done during the day and come back tomorrow.
Pei You'an and Jiafu returned together, but at the moment he still had something to do. No one came out. Jiafu was standing beside the stele pavilion at the mountain gate, accompanied by the maid and the monk. After waiting for a while, I saw Pei Xiuzhi and Zhou Jiao'e come out first.
The feeling of quarreling between the two at noon is completely different. At this moment, Pei Xiuzhi was behind Zhou Jiao'e, and there was no trace of anger anymore.
The men of the Pei family are all born with outstanding talents. Pei Xiuzhi used to be light-hearted and high-spirited before, but at this moment, the high-spiritedness in him was gone, like a defeated rooster. Zhou Jiao'e, on the other hand, was the exact opposite of him. It was only an afternoon. She had a spring face and was arrogant. She was followed by the wet nurse, brother Quan, and seven or eight girls. In front of the stele pavilion, the girls and women called her "grandma". Zhou Jiao'e stopped, turned her head, and pouted at Jiafu, showing a half-smile half-smile, and also called "sister-in-law". ", then glanced at her husband beside him, slapped his waist, and said coquettishly, "Xiuzhi, I'm almost exhausted, there's still a long way to go, I can't walk even half a step."
Ci'en Temple is located on the mountain, but the location is not high. From the mountain gate to the foot of the mountain, there is a section of about several hundred steps.
The girl next to her seemed to hold back her laughter.
Pei Xiuzhi's face turned red, and some dared not look at Jiafu, so he held back his shame and called for the servants to carry the soft sedan over and take the second grandmother down the mountain.
The sedan chair was quickly brought up. Zhou Jiao'e raised her chin and came to the front of the sedan chair. The next person opened the sedan chair and asked her to go up, but she didn't move. With Pei Xiuzhi.
Pei Xiuzhi followed, barely reaching out to support him.
Zhou Jiao'e looked smug and glanced at Jiafu again, and then she supported her husband's hand and bent down into the sedan chair. When Brother Quan saw him, he shouted that he would also take the sedan chair, but there was no sound in the sedan chair. Pei Xiuzhi was helpless, and was about to order someone to lift the sedan chair again, when Zhou Jiao'e had already opened the sedan chair curtain, and said with a smile, "The child is growing up, and unlike me, a weak girl, you need to move around more to help your legs and feet. The advantage. If he really can't walk, I will come down and let Brother Quan sit down!" He said with a gesture of going down.
Pei Xiuzhi hurriedly stopped him, let the bearer carry it down, turned his head and instructed the nurse to carry brother Quan down. Brother Quan refused to obey, was forcibly picked up by the nurse, covered his mouth, and followed the sedan chair in front down the mountain steps. Pei Xiuzhi protected the sedan chair and left in a hurry.
Jiafu watched the group disappear, turned around, saw Pei You'an's figure gradually appearing, and hurriedly greeted him.
Seeing her, Pei You'an quickened his pace and quickly approached, saying, "Wait? I just arranged tomorrow's affairs with my uncle, but it's too late."
Jiafu shook her head: "It's only for a while. I'm not in a hurry."
Pei Youan thanked Monk Zhike, and then led Jiafu. The two walked down the steps and headed for the foot of the mountain, with Madam Liu and Tanxiang following behind with a few other girls. After walking down for a while, he encountered a slightly raised mountain stair. Pei Youan stopped for a while and reached out to her. Jiafu's two slender fingers gently grabbed his sleeve, and he backhanded. , took her hand, led her across the mountain steps, and stood firmly.
"Be careful with your feet."
He whispered, and then relaxed his hand.
One of Jiafu's soft fingers still hooked his finger, as if reluctant to part. The sleeves of the two of them drooped down, covering their hooked fingers, so they couldn't see clearly from the back, only they were very close to each other.
Pei You'an tilted her head slightly, glanced at the girl who was not far behind her, turned her head back, as if hesitating for a moment, but she still did not withdraw her hand, and let her continue to hook.
Jia Fu quietly, little by little, tugged his finger tightly, holding it firmly.
Pei You'an's eyes were looking forward, her expression was as usual, but a faint smile slowly appeared in the bottom of her eyes, and her hand was hooked like this all the time, and she finished the mountain steps.
When the driver saw the uncle and grandma coming, he hurried the carriage to approach. After it stopped, he took the mat and put it down. Jiafu stepped on it. Pei Youan helped her in. Another carriage, heading towards the city.
The golden afterglow of the setting sun filled the entire field, and in the distance, there were figures of farmers returning home with ploughs, oxen and hoes. The curtains on the side of the carriage were rolled up, and a ray of evening light penetrated through the car window and shone on Pei You'an's body.
He gestured for Jiafu to rest on his shoulders, holding a volume of books by himself, lowered his eyebrows slightly, and read the book.
Jia Fu Yi said, leaned her body on his shoulders and arms, closed her eyes, but her mind was full of the words about his life that she heard during the day.
Carrying such a background is undoubtedly a shame and even a deep pain for the once noble as him, and he must have kept it a secret even to himself. Naturally, Jiafu would not rashly tell him what she had heard all day.
She wanted to comfort him and let him know her heart for him, but she didn't know how to speak.
She quietly opened her eyes and peeked at him.
He was concentrating on the scroll in his hand, and the evening light was dyed on his slightly drooping eyelashes.
"What's the matter with you? Have something on your mind?"
The eyelashes moved suddenly, and Pei Youan turned his face.
Gave shook her head.
Pei You'an patted his forehead with the corner of the book, and said in a slightly apologetic tone, "Is it because I just read the book when I came up, ignoring you? I forgot. It's my fault."
He put down the book and stretched out his hand to her, Jia Fu immediately climbed onto his lap, he hugged Jia Fu, rolled up the curtains of the side window, looked out at the field outside the window, and said, "It's been a while since you married me. , I'm busy every day, I leave you alone, I have never taken you out to play, you must be very bored. After a while, the weather will be a little cooler, I will take you to Yuquan Mountain in the southeast of the city for a walk .I remember climbing it when I was a kid, it's a nice view, and I haven't been there for years."
"Okay, okay." Jiafu nodded as if pounding garlic.
Pei You'an glanced at her, smiled, touched her head, and said softly, "If you're tired, lean on me and squint for a while. I'll hold you when I stop reading."
Jiafu hummed, wrapped her arms around his waist, put her face on his chest, and slowly closed her eyes.
The carriage swayed, Jiafu curled up in his arms, and unknowingly, she fell asleep, and she didn't know how long she had slept. In a daze, he gently patted her awake, opened her eyes, and realized she had arrived.
Pei You'an helped her get off the carriage, the two went in, and the concierge quickly greeted her and said, "Master, Baiheguan Chi Hanzhen's daughter Guanzi sent someone to say that her brother had taken the medicine that the uncle prescribed last time, and her condition has recovered. Quite a few, but these days, my appetite has deteriorated for some unknown reason, and I had invited Imperial Physician Hu to see it the day before, but it didn't work, so I asked the uncle when he was free, and I hope to take the time to use it again."
Saying that, he presented another roll of things wrapped in a flower-patterned brocade sutra.
"Nv Guanzi also sent this volume of scriptures over, saying that it was a wonderful merit scripture handwritten for the old prince Mingshou."
Pei You'an took it, opened the scriptures, opened his eyes, closed it, took Jiafu back to the room, and changed into the casual clothes he was out of.
Jiafu was a little confused at first, but she woke up now, knowing that he was ready to go out, and seeing him looking at her, she suppressed the strange feeling in her heart, and took the initiative: "It's important to see a doctor, you go quickly. Just don't get tired of yourself, remember to come back early to rest."
Pei You'an asked her, "Are you still tired?"
Jiafu was slightly dazed and shook her head.
Pei You'an said slowly: "If you're not tired, come with me? It's good to have company on the road."
Jiafu was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses. She smiled like a flower and nodded, "Okay, then I'll accompany my eldest cousin..."
Pei You'an had gone out and said, "You can come out after changing your clothes, and I'll pack up."
…
When it was dark, the carriage stopped in front of the mountain gate of Baihe Temple. Pei You'an called someone to inform, and soon, he walked out to serve a little Taoist girl Chi Hanzhen, led the two in, and walked to the Taisu Hall, the little Taoist girl rushed inside, and after a while, the little Taoist girl was hit in her hand. With a bright corner lamp, Chi Hanzhen came out of the door and greeted him, as if he was about to speak to Pei You'an, when his eyes suddenly caught sight of Jiafu beside him, he couldn't help but startled slightly and stopped.
Pei Youan brought Jiafu up, smiled and said, "Today I went to the Ci'en Temple with my wife, and came back together. I just learned about Chi Zhenren's message, so I brought my wife along the way. I also received Chiren Zhenren's handwritten scriptures and changed them. I will pass it on to my grandmother in the future, be careful."
Chi Hanzhen's eyes finally retracted from the smiling face of Jiafu, and he calmed down, saying: "Master Pei, why should you be polite, Master Pei has saved my brother's life, and I also accidentally learned about the celebration of the king's birthday. , Thinking of the monks, there is no way to repay them, so I copied a volume of Taoist scriptures. Adults and madams, please come in." She said, turned around quickly, led them in, and called the little Taoist girl to serve tea, and Pei Youan said. See a doctor first.
Chi Hanzhen led him in.
The child's complexion was much better than when she saw it last time. Pei You'an took a careful look for the child, asked the imperial doctor's last prescription, glanced at it, and said that the problem is not big, it should be the spleen and stomach disorder caused by the previous prescription, this time you can appropriately increase or decrease the flavor of the medicine, adjust it slowly, and pass it. It should get better in a few days, the imperial doctor's prescription is consistent with what he thinks, and he asks Chi Hanzhen to follow the imperial doctor's prescription to prescribe the medicine.
Chi Han was really ashamed, thanked in a low voice, and apologized for being abruptly disturbed today.
Pei Youan said: "Why should you care? Although you are a monk now, I still regard you as a world sister. Next time, if you still have something to do, no matter what, if you feel powerless, feel free to come and find me. I am not here, look for me Anyone can. She'll be there to help."
Jiafu was slightly startled. Seeing Pei Youan looking at her, she immediately reacted. She immediately stood beside him, nodded and said with a smile: "What my husband said is what I think. I have always respected you, please don't stick to the world."
Chi Han really looked at Jia Fu, but he was speechless for a while, so Pei You'an took the things, took Jia Fu, and left.
Chi Hanzhen sent the two out, watching his backs gradually disappear, his eyes were empty, he turned and slowly returned to the clean room where he practiced, closed the door, and couldn't bear it any longer, covered his face with his hands, tears streaming from his fingers. Absolutely down.
The cuffs of the Xinghuang Taoist shirt slipped from her wrist, and on the snow-white wrist, there were actually several hideous scars drawn with the tip of the knife. Old wounds are not healed, new ones are added.
Originally a beautiful flower in the world, it fell into the mud at once.
He is as bright as the bright moon, Zhilie Qiushuang, there is no second person in the world, a gentleman like him is like jade. She originally despised the woman he married, but tonight, in front of the woman who stood side by side with him, for the first time, she deeply realized the humility hidden in her body, and even in the end, she had nowhere to be ashamed.
He and she are made in heaven, and they are unparalleled. Obviously, he already knew that he didn't have the slightest affection for himself, but why couldn't even the pain of cutting his body and skin be able to drive away the demons in his heart
…
It was late at night when Jiafu and Pei Youan went home. After bathing and dressing, they went to bed.
Pei You'an covered her with the quilt, and kissed her: "You are a snooze cat. If you don't get enough sleep, you will get dark circles around your eyes. Others think I'm wrong to you. You have to get up early tomorrow morning. Let's go to bed." Close your eyes.
Catherine stared at his face, but didn't want to sleep at all. Thinking about the day's events for a while, and the scene just now for a while, I just felt that there were countless things to say in my heart, and I couldn't bear it any longer. I stretched out a pair of soft arms towards him, hugged his neck, and put my lips against it. , attached to his ear, and whispered in a low voice: "Big cousin, in the future, if you have any sadness or sadness, don't be alone in your heart, tell Fu'er, Fu'er will love you and cherish you. of."
