Wishing You Eternal Happiness

This evening accident, to Pei Youan, seemed as if nothing had happened, and it passed after it passed. He was as quiet as the water, just as normal. But at Jiafu, all the joy and excitement in the past few days since he was taken out of the house are just like small buds that have just drilled out of the ground. Before they have time to stretch their shoots in the spring breeze and rain, they have been caught in the cold. It was frozen.

Gaffer regretted the words she blurted out for a while, but it was also because of his subsequent response that she was reminded again.

She was happy the other day.

Pei Youan treats her well, tolerates her, appreciates her careful thoughts, and even gives in in front of her. For example, this time, at the last minute of her departure, she agreed to take her with him. It was so strong that Gaffer could hardly see any hope of breaking the wall. She doesn’t have so much time to slowly seek him to like herself and become fascinated by her--and to be honest, in front of Pei Youan, she has no confidence in herself, except for a pair of previous lives that caused misfortune to herself. With the skin that seems to be in danger, what else does she have? How could a man like Pei Youan like her and agree to marry her?

But the idea of ​​marrying him had taken root firmly in her heart from the first day, and Jiafu couldn't get rid of the temptation to get close to him so that she could have a living.

What should he do to make him agree to himself?

This new blow, just like the words she blurted out unconsciously, came off guard, Jiafu was inevitably depressed, but with the lessons learned from the last time he didn’t go to dinner, he learned well this time. The next day, he arrived at him. When he was about to return, he smiled again and waited for him. After waiting for a while, he saw his figure appear from a distance. Next to him was An Cangzhu, the young master of the Chieftain Mansion who had been with him yesterday.

An Cangzhu had just caught up with Pei Youan. This is a young man with dark skin, thick eyebrows and high nose, and a strong figure. He wears a ring on one ear, a short knife at his waist, and the scabbard is studded with gems of various colors. Pei Youan had saved his life before, so he respected Pei Youan very much.

An Cangzhu said a few words about his father's meeting with Mengding chieftain Ethan tomorrow, and then asked: "Master Pei, your cousin, does she have a husband?"

Tomorrow, the meeting between the two chieftains of Mengmu and Mengding at Anlongguan on the border was facilitated by Pei Youan. Because of the important matter, he had just been on his way. He had been thinking about it, and suddenly heard An Cangzhu ask this, Wei Yiyi Startled, turned his face, took a look at him, and saw that this young man was slightly embarrassed, but his two eyes were full of expectations. After a little thought, he understood.

In terms of age, he is not much older than the young master of the Tusi Mansion, but in the contrast of the vigorous young man by his side, for a moment, Pei Youan's heart suddenly gave birth to a faint autumn and desolation. feel.

He didn't really want to talk about Jia Fu with the young man beside him, but he still said: "She is still waiting for her to be in her boudoir."

An Cangzhu's eyes lit up: "Where is her home?"

Pei Youan said: "Quanzhou people."

An Cangzhu immediately became excited: "I know Quanzhou! My father invited me a Xixi seat for me when I was young, and he was also from Quanzhou. I heard him say that Quanzhou Wufu and Minfeng, shipping ports abound, every day Hundreds of thousands of ships come and go, and the world’s rare treasures come from Quanzhou seven or eighty! There is a huge wealthy surname Zhen in Quanzhou, who specializes in sailing ships, and his cousin is also named Zhen. Could it be related to the Zhen family?"

Pei Youan said vaguely: "There are indeed several boats in her house..."

An Cangzhu rushed: "Great. Can Master Pei let me have an interview with my cousin? My father is about to buy a batch of spices for fear of being deceived into being on the border. I will be shoddy. My cousin has a boat at home, presumably There is also a spice business, so it’s not just right for me to talk to my cousin directly?"

The guest room where Pei Youan lived was not far in front. When he hesitated, An Cangzhu raised his eyes, just in time to see Jiafu standing at the door looking up at this side, with a joyful face, leaving Pei Youan aside, and hurried to the front. , Called "Cousin Zhen".

Jiafu recognized that it was the son of the Tusi Mansion yesterday, and when he saw him greet herself with a smile on his face, and called her "Cousin Zhen", she seemed to have a familiar tone. For a moment, she glanced at Pei Youan, who followed him, and was a little unclear. , Out of courtesy, he responded and performed the gift of blessings.

An Cangzhu waved her hand hurriedly, and she first made amends to Jiafu for her sister's behavior yesterday, saying that she had already taught her when she went back, and she didn't dare to come to trouble anymore.

Yesterday’s fight was a good fight. Afterwards, Pei Youan also protected her, and did not blame her for being ignorant, but after the fight, he wanted to live for two lifetimes and torn with a little girl like this afterwards. It's really unbelievable, and it's not a glorious thing. I didn't want to mention it, so I responded vaguely.

An Cangzhu didn’t come here just to make amends. He finished his head and said, “I heard Master Pei say that your family is in Quanzhou and you have a boat to travel overseas? I’m about to buy a batch of spices here, and the number is not It’s small and will repurchase it in the future. I wonder if my cousin is willing to take up this business? The deposit is delivered and everything is done according to your rules. If it is convenient, I can talk to my cousin in detail."

This headless, Jiafu was taken aback and looked at Pei Youan subconsciously.

He was standing behind An Cangzhu, his expression was flat, almost as usual. Jia Fu couldn't see what he meant, but he didn't even think about it. Although there are a few ships in China, there is not much spice in the goods that have gone in the past two years. I am afraid that this business will not be possible."

An Cangzhu was not discouraged, and said: "The cousin is from Quanzhou, and I must know some consignors. Can you recommend me a few good ones?"

Gaffer showed an apologetic expression: "I'm really sorry, I only know how to embroider red flowers at home, and I don't know anything about working outside. I'm afraid I can't help the young master."

An Cangzhu looked disappointed, but quickly and enthusiastically said: "It's okay. I think, Master Pei is too busy with these daily affairs, I'm afraid I won't have time to take care of my cousin. Since my cousin came to me, she was a guest of the Tusi Mansion. , I have a few views here that are not bad, if my cousin does not give up, how about I send someone to lead you out for a walk?"

He turned to Pei Youan: "Master Pei, I see my cousin Chengri staying in the guest house like this, and I can’t get out of the way. Master Pei came from afar on this trip to resolve disputes in Mengmu Mansion. Let the friendship of the landlord be fulfilled."

Pei Youan couldn't help looking at Jiafu, his eyes met the two eyes she cast in the air. Seeing her lips curled up slightly, her smile seemed to be absent, her eyebrows were soft, her eyes gleamed, her emotions were charming, charming and tactful, and suddenly there was something that seemed to be unknown to others, but only between him and her. A sense of ambiguity that flows faintly.

It feels extremely mysterious, elusive, but ubiquitous.

He was in a daze, suspicious that he was looking at the wrong eye, and then subconsciously looked over, but Jiafu had already turned his face, so everything disappeared in an instant. Seeing her smiling at An Cangzhu, Pei Youan said, "Don't dare to bother the young master. It's true that the reason why I came here with my eldest cousin is because I had a physical discomfort and needed treatment from my eldest cousin. Unfortunately, the eldest cousin asked for it. Come to your place, because you can't give up halfway, then you can bring me. When I get better, what about the trouble of the young master?"

These words were not leaking, which not only explained the reason why Pei Youan brought her here inexplicably, but also tactfully turned away An Cangzhu's kind invitation.

Pei Youan returned to his mind and glanced at her again.

She looked at the son of the toast with bright eyes, with an earnest expression.

An Cangzhu was disappointed again, so she nodded her head, let her rest in peace, and leave in shock.

Jiafu followed Pei Youan into the house, graciously brought tea, and smiled: "Cousin, how come back so early today? Can you go out tonight?"

From here, Pei Youan wants to meet all kinds of people every day. Tomorrow is the key to this trip. His mind was originally deep, but at this moment, watching her turn around in front of him, he feels relaxed inexplicably, and smiles. "Everything has been arranged. I also pushed the toast's banquet. I won’t be out at night, and I’ll rest early. There will be business tomorrow."

Gaffer was very happy: "Great, cousin, sit down, I'll go see the sweet soup I made, and I'll serve you a bowl when I'm done."

Pei Youan originally didn't like sweets, but she liked sweets, so he followed her, and looked at her briskly leaving behind for a moment.

...

Early the next morning, Pei Youan An Jilong and his party unearthed from the Tusi Mansion and arrived at Anlong Pass at the border with Mengding Mansion. Here, under the auspices of Pei Youan, An Jilong and Mengding chieftain Ethan will have a meeting to resolve the recent dispute.

This new dispute originates from Master Ma, who left not long ago. When he was there, he deliberately rewarded An Jilong, preaching that the emperor gave him the title of "big tusi", and with a word of mouth, he lightly classified all the disputed Anlong Pass of Mengmu Mansion and Mengding Mansion. It was given to An Jilong, which caused Ethan's dissatisfaction. As soon as Master Ma left, Ethan ruined the covenant made a few years ago with the pretense that the ancestral land could not be lost in his own hands, and attacked Mengmu Mansion again.

The reason why the meeting place was chosen here today is to reassure both parties. The flat area where we met was open, surrounded by trees and rocks. There was no way to hide people, nor to set up ambushes. There was a clear view of how many people the other party brought.

According to the previous agreement, An Jilong took only twenty selected guards. When he arrived at the location, he ordered the guards to stop on the open space a few meters away, and he and Pei Youan took seats.

There are still two quarters of an hour before the appointment time. Except for Ethan who hasn't arrived, the other dozen or so toasts who have been invited to be witnesses have arrived. Everyone in the room knew Pei Youan, and when they saw him coming, they all greeted each other. After the greeting, Pei Youan did not let him sit in the middle position, An Jilong sat on the left, and the right position was vacant, waiting for Ethan's arrival.

The sun gradually rose, and the agreed time had come, but Ethan had not yet appeared. An Jilong showed upset, and the chieftains whispered. After a while, at the end of their eyes, a large group of black horses finally appeared. The rising dust came over here, looking at this posture, at least a crowd of hundreds of people, mighty and mighty, gradually approached the front, and it was clear that it was Ethan who was late.

The two parties originally agreed to bring a maximum of twenty guards each, but now the meeting hasn’t started yet, Ethan was late and broke the rules first. With so many people on the scene, An Cangzhu, who stood by An Jilong, looked angry. Immediately said: "Father, what does he want to do? I'll just count the people!"

Before coming out, An Jilong also took hundreds of people to make sure in case, but the remaining people were left a few miles away and didn't bring them here.

An Jilong was also annoyed. He glanced at Pei Youan and saw that he was motionless, still sitting on it, staring at the front, his expression calm, thinking for a moment, and reluctantly said: "He should want to give us a slap in the face. With Master Pei here, he wouldn't dare to mess around. Let's look at it again."
