Wishing You Eternal Happiness

After half an hour’s time lag, the Zhen’s carriage stopped in front of the Song’s mansion. Mrs. Meng took Jiafu and was introduced from the corner gate by her servants. Finally, she was transferred to a side hall. There was no tea or people, only two. The mother-in-law stood upright, staring at her small eyes, waiting for a long while, and finally heard a string of footsteps approaching, and Mrs. Song slammed into her new Chinese dress, wrapped in gold and jade, surrounded by a group of maids, the stars Gongyuedi appeared, sat down, waited for Madam Meng to bring Jiafu to her, and did not speak, her eyes were like two fine grate, she swept Jiafu from head to toe, up and down several times, no one. For the omissions, Fang pointed to a chair next to him, and asked Mrs. Meng to sit down, "Just now, a female family member from Anyuan Hou Mansion came to the house. I said a few more words, but I neglected your side." At a glance, when I raise my throat, I scold my wife for not knowing the manners, and when people come, I don't know how to serve tea. What is the difference with those in the city and others. The mother-in-law was clearly told to be cold, but she was scolded at this moment, and she didn't dare to reply. She hurriedly served two cups of tea and confessed to Mrs. Meng.

Mrs. Meng was busy. Mrs. Song half smiled and said, "Your Zhen family is in Quanzhou, and it is considered a big family. Mother and daughter traveled to Beijing all the way, and came back to me for the first time. The courtesy of the next person is not good enough, but it makes you a joke."

As soon as Mrs. Song appeared, Mrs. Meng felt the unhappiness that came from her. In those few words just now, she even said that Sang cursed Huai with a spear and a stick. How could she not hear it? Seeing that Mother Ye was next to her, she also squinted coldly and looked like two people when she was separated at the pier this morning.

The Song family is now powerful, and Mrs. Song is arrogant. Not only does Mrs. Xin need to see how she looks, but she also has to intervene in the marriage of her own daughter and the son of the Prince Weiguo. Mrs. Meng is aware of the twists and turns. Therefore, I had been trying my best to have a good relationship before, and I couldn't help but feel confused at this moment, and I didn't know what went wrong in the middle. For the sake of my daughter's marriage, I could only endure it and agreed with her a few words.

Mrs. Song's attention was always on Jiafu, and without saying a few words, she waved to Jiafu and motioned her to step forward. Jia Fu walked over with a low eyebrow and called her a godmother. Mrs. Song asked her how old she was and what she did at home on weekdays, and Jiafu responded one by one, very well-behaved.

Ye Pozi hurried back to Song's house anxiously early in the morning, and immediately told Mrs. Song that she had suffocated her stomach on the road. Mrs. Song was very upset at the time.

Ordinarily, people are going to marry their daughters, pass by the temple, and drop by to ask for a son.

But she just wasn't happy. According to her thoughts, the Zhen family’s daughter can be regarded as a goddaughter to marry Pei Xiuzhi, to fill in her own bitter daughter’s vacancy. This is a great promotion. The sparrow flies on the golden branch. She should be grateful and think about everything. She said it here. It's not that she doesn't allow the Zhen family's daughter to have children in the future, but now she is hiding this idea from her. Obviously, this is aimed at her grandson, which is absolutely unbearable.

With her character, she can't bear it, and listened to her mother-in-law, how the Zhen family's daughter gave birth to a fox and charming son. A man is afraid that he can't help a few words on the pillow, and he feels like a cat scratching in his heart. People called to see what happened. In fact, no Mrs. Hou's visitor was fettered just now, but when she learned that the Zhen family's mother and daughter were coming, she deliberately suppressed her temper to air her, which was long overdue. The first time I saw the face of the Zhen family’s daughter, my heart jumped, Zhiye didn’t exaggerate, she didn’t know how much she had won than her deceased daughter, so she was disgusted in her heart. Paying attention to her words and deeds, even a look in her eyes. The more gentle and well-behaved Jiafu was, the more suspicious she was. She always felt that she was pretending, and her boredom doubled. In the end, two eyes stared at the little purse that was looming on her waist under the outer shirt, suddenly revealing it. Laughed, and said: "This pouch embroidery looks unique, you did it yourself? Bring it to me and take a look."

Mrs. Meng suddenly remembered the amulet she had asked for at Guanyin Temple on the road that day, and she told her daughter to put it away, but she later forgot it too.

There is a pomegranate pattern painted on this symbol, which can be recognized at a glance. If the daughter is still in the purse and falls into Mrs. Song’s eyes, I am afraid it will be a little ugly, and I feel uneasy at the moment, and I want to open the mouth to mistake this topic. However, Jiafu had already taken off his purse, handed it over with both hands, and said shyly: "I did embroider it myself, but the needlework was not good, and the **** praised it absurdly."

Mrs. Song took it, flipped her palms, and pretended to compliment a few words, as an excuse to look at the stitching method of the inner layer, she pointed it, and the mouth opened. She took a look and saw that there were two small fragrant cakes on the bottom of the purse. Only talisman, and again, under the pretext of having to look closely, turned the purse over and poured it out, only to find that it was just an ordinary amulet. So she glanced at Lady Ye.

Old lady Ye was so excited, she opened her eyes wide and waited to see the Zhen family's daughter making a fool of herself. You know, an unmarried girl of Huanghua was seen carrying a child-seeking talisman with her. This is not a decent thing, but it was only an amulet when she turned it over. Seeing Mrs. Song looked over, she turned her sideways. Sheng, desperately shrugged her eyebrows and winked at her, suggesting that the Zhen family's daughter had put it away and didn't carry it.

Mrs. Song didn't catch the handle, so she had to say a few more praises, put her purse back in place, and handed it back to Jiafu.

Jiafu took it, and put it back if nothing had happened. Mrs. Meng on the side breathed a sigh of relief, secretly cried out a fluke, and hurriedly pulled out an envelope, and smiled: "My daughter is stupid, and the damned wife praised her and wanted to recognize her as a goddaughter. My old lady is grateful. Before I went out, I specifically told me to bring some local produce. It was not worth the money. It was a bit of heart. The East and the West have already asked the people to bring it in. This is a list. Madam.

Mrs. Meng found out that Mrs. Song was greedy for money and profit, and she prepared this generous gift. She said that it was a local product. In fact, the items listed on the list were all valuable items, and a few of them were the best.

Mrs. Song took it, took a look, and felt satisfied in her heart, thinking that the Zhen family finally had a wink, and when it was done, her face would look better afterwards.

Mrs. Meng exhaled secretly, thinking of Brother Quan. Now that she was here, she didn’t ask a question. It was unreasonable. She smiled: "I just went to Pei’s family to visit my relatives. I thought I could see Brother Quan. Yes, but you are here, Madam. Brother Quan is now four years old, right? Our old lady specially gave Quan brother a hundred fortune golden lock, begging the monk to open up the light, bless the child to be rich, rich and long-lived. Years old." After talking, it came out.

Mrs. Song also knows that the relationship between Pei Zhen's family and the family has already talked about this. She was relieved before and recognized her goddaughter. Now even if she is dissatisfied with the Zhen's daughter, she can't make any excuses to go on stage. Blocked, it is better to call out the whole brother, take this opportunity to beat and beat, let Zhen’s daughter know the importance, when she has passed the door, she will find another cause, and send her trusted mother to stare at her. Can't find any big splashes.

Mrs. Song made up her mind, and then said: "The old lady is interested. Then I will ask someone to bring the child, and you will see it."

Naturally, Mrs. Meng said yes. Mrs. Song ordered to go down. In a short while, I heard the laughter of children coming from the corridor outside, and saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old handsome **** all fours with a four- or five-year-old boy sitting on her back, crawling all the way in.

That kid is the whole brother, who was considered pretty and pretty. Because of his gluttony, he turned into a chubby appearance, a little heavy, sitting on the girl’s back, followed by a few girls on the side, and vainly supporting him. When he fell down, the girl crawling on the ground was panting and sweating profusely. He took a wicker branch in his hand, waving and twitching indiscriminately, making the sound of "driving" and "driving" like riding a horse, just riding people like this Came in.

Gaffer looked at him with a smile on her lips, but her eyes were very cold.

After she married into Pei’s family, Pei Xiuzhi liked her very much. Soon she was pregnant. When she was five months old, she stepped on mung beans and fell heavily to the ground. She lost her baby at that time and the blood flow continued. It took a long time to get off the ground, but the root of the disease had fallen in his body. After that, whether it was with Pei Xiuzhi or Xiao Yintang, he never conceived again.

Those mung beans were sprinkled by the child at her feet. Jiafu remembers that Pei Xiuzhi was very angry at the time. He was arrested for hanging, but was blocked by Mrs. Xin. The next day Mrs. Song learned the news and went to the house to make a noise, saying that the child was still young and ignorant, and he might still be wronged. Yes, afterwards, this matter could not be resolved, and it passed.

Now that I think about it, it is a blessing in disguise for her to have no children in her previous life. But for the child in front of him, Gaffer couldn't give birth to intimacy no matter what.

Madam Meng was stunned, but the Song family seemed to be accustomed to it. Madam Song laughed, her eyes full of affection, and she screamed naughty and asked someone to hug the child.

Brother Quan likes to ride people, and even chooses a handsome girl to ride, but when he was at Pei’s house, he did not dare to play like this, because he had been sued to the old lady before, and the old lady called Mrs. Xin to come over, and Mrs. Xin was not allowed to go there afterwards. Brother rides a man, but Song family doesn't care about it, so Brother Quan prefers to run here.

Granny Ye hurried over and hugged Brother Quan. Madam Song took it and sat on her lap. The child twisted and writhed to get down. She hugged her, raised her eyes and stared at Jiafu and said, "I'm just a daughter. I feel like my heart is gone. Now that I’m gone, Brother Quan is no different from my own grandson. I’m the person who pays the most attention to grievances and grievances. Whoever treats my Brother Quan is good to me..."

She paused, squinted her eyes, and emphasized her tone: "If anyone hits his head with an idea, even if he loses a hair, if I know about it, don't think I will let it go."

Mrs. Meng took a sigh of relief. Gaffer widened her eyes and nodded vigorously: "Godmother, you said so much, Brother Jingui, who dares to touch?"

Mrs. Song was a little uncertain whether she understood it or not. When staring at Jia Fu, the child on her lap also stared at Jia Fu with wide eyes. Suddenly he "chuckled" and slipped from her arm, and ran to Jia Fu. In front of Fu, he raised his neck and pointed at her with arms akimbo: "You get down! I want to ride a horse!"

Gaffer walked over to the child, stopped in front of him, bent down with a smile, and said, "You can't ride a horse, but I can hug you and play."

Brother Quan immediately fell to the ground, kicking his legs indiscriminately, and howling: "Don't hug! I want to ride a horse! I want to ride a horse!"

Mrs. Meng's face was ugly, and Mrs. Song hurriedly winked at Lady Ye. Lady Ye stepped forward and picked up her brother, and coaxed: "Let's go out, go out and ride a horse."

Brother Quan spit at her, knocked her with his fists, yelling: "She looks good! I want to ride!"

Gaffer stood there, staring coldly at the child on the ground, still with a faint smile on her lips.

Now Mrs. Song's face was a little uncomfortable, she coughed, and several girls all stepped forward, together with Granny Ye, hurriedly lifted the crying brother out, and the cries gradually disappeared, and she was in the hall. It was finally quiet.

Mrs. Song laughed dryly: "This kid doesn't usually do this, and there was a little trouble today."

Madam Meng smiled reluctantly, sat for a while, and got up to leave. Madam Ye also coaxed her complete brother back and said, "Madam, can you see it with your own eyes? Look at the fox look like she gave birth to, which man can not get in the set? Today she hasn't arrived, so the eldest son ran away personally. The dock picked it up. You didn't see Madam. The eye that was staring at her at that time, without blinking, how can you remember the half of the whole brother and her mother? As the saying goes, there is a stepmother and a stepfather. When she is born and raised by herself, Brother Quan is afraid that even her own father will be gone! Madam, don’t be fooled by her. This girl is two-sided, and I’ve been living together with me in the past few months.

Mrs. Song thought of her dead daughter. She was sad and helpless. She frowned and said, "How can I be satisfied with the Zhen family's daughter. It's just that I have already accepted it before, and after listening to you, she recognized her as a goddaughter. , Tell me how to speak now?"

Granny Ye slapped her mouth heavily, and at this moment, a little girl who had just gone out ran in in a panic. Granny Ye sank her face: "Careful, surprised Madam. Look, I pierced you with a needle. mouth!"

The girl kept waving her hand and yelled, "It's Brother Quan, brother is a little bad!"

Mrs. Song was surprised: "What's the matter?"

The girl said, "Just now, we took my brother to play in the yard, and my brother suddenly shouted that there were bugs crawling on his body, and he was scratching everywhere. I just looked at him, good fellow, that face, and made a face. , I got fat in one fell swoop..."

Mrs. Song's expression changed and she hurriedly walked out. The Quan brother had been taken back to the house, lying on the bed, crying and crying. Mrs. Song went up and saw that he was full of rashes and swelling. He was so scared as if he was blowing his breath, he went up and hugged him, dared to call out a few words, and hurriedly asked him to ask a doctor. The imperial doctor arrived, and the whole brother's face was swollen like a ant's nest. The whole piece was fat. His body had a rash from the east to the west. Because it was itchy, some of it had been scratched, and he lay there groaning. Crying endlessly.

The imperial doctor couldn't tell why, so he only prescribed a decoction and let it boil and smear it to reduce the swelling, but the swelling could not go away.

Mrs. Song originally didn't want to let Mrs. Xin know, but unfortunately, the next day Pei's family came to pick up her brother. Mrs. Song couldn't keep the secret, so she had to tell the truth. She was very wronged and said that it was all right. After hearing the news, Mrs. Xin rushed over in anxious manner and took the whole brother away with a calm face.

Mrs. Song was very boring, and she didn’t worry about Brother Quan. She sent people to Pei’s house to check on Brother Quan’s condition. She learned that Mrs. Xin pointed at Sang Huai in front of her mother-in-law. She was very angry, just this time. People are not good on her side, and she can't shake her prestige, so she can only force her breath. On the next night, she finally learned that the child's swelling was almost gone, Fang breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Pozi thought to herself that she had worked so hard in Quanzhou over the past few months and suffered a lot of sins. In the end, the Zhen family only took twenty taels of silver to send her away. She couldn't calm her heart, so she took it as her responsibility to break up the marriage. It was blowing in her ears, saying that when the Zhen family’s daughter had just arrived at home, the originally good brother had developed this unprecedented strange disease. After suffering from the boss, it can be seen that the character is inconsistent, and his life is violent.

One of the things that Mrs. Song is best at is to provoke her anger. She was so stunned by Mrs. Ye that she couldn’t help but become suspicious. After another night, on the third day, the treasury manager came to report, saying that among the things that the Zhen family gave the day before, When the few jade beads that were supposed to be the most valuable were put in the warehouse, they found that they were not in good condition. Although they were also rare, they were not top quality. The price was greatly reduced. I asked how to put them together.

Mrs. Song remembered the respectful attitude towards herself when Mrs. Meng came the day before. The Zhen family didn't have the guts to fool herself with shoddy, presumably this was something his family could handle. She was contemptuous and suffocated. "I'm still saying how rich the Zhen family is. It turns out that it's just that, and the Pei family is willing to end even such a marriage. It can be seen how poor it is now!"

…

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and this day was the sixtieth birthday of Mrs. Pei at the Palace of the Wei Kingdom.

Although Weiguo’s mansion was defeated, the family was still there. Old Weiguo’s meritorious service was notorious. Mrs. Pei had a superb fate. His daughter was the queen of the Tianxi dynasty. The emperor Xi always missed her very much. The old lady's position was extraordinary. On her 60th birthday, early in the morning, the **** of the Yellow Gate came down from the palace. The dignitaries who had contact with the Palace of Weiguo also came to celebrate their birthdays. On that day, the door of the Weiguo Palace opened wide, and it was radiant inside and out, and it seemed that some of its former glory was finally restored.

After returning from the Song’s house that day, Jiafu didn’t go out a step in the past few days. Mrs. Meng heard that Brother Quan was ill and was picked up from the Song’s house. Although she hated the child in her heart, she went to visit him. , Came back and said to Jiafu: "It's almost done. I just scratched a few skins on my body, and I'm still crying."

Jiafu pursed her mouth and said nothing. Madam Meng was very thoughtful and didn't mention the matter again. On today’s birthday, Mrs. Xin was too busy to come and asked her to come to help earlier. Mrs. Meng naturally agreed to stop her son and forbid him to go out for fun. She put on the clothes prepared for today, and after noon, she took it with her. A pair of children went to the Guogong Mansion.

Mother and daughter were sitting in the carriage together. Mrs. Meng was silent all the way, Jiafu leaned over and rubbed her mother's arm: "Mother, what are you thinking? I have been speechless for these two days."

Madam Meng was in a trance for a moment, and whispered: "Mother had only heard that the child was a bit naughty before, but she never expected that she would make such a fuss. When you pass the door in the future, she is afraid that it will be difficult for you..."

Jia Fu hugged her and said with a grin: "Mother, if they don't match me in two days, and I can't marry a cousin, will you call me useless?"

Mrs. Meng was startled, a little surprised that she suddenly said such words and glanced at Jiafu: "As long as you are not sad, why should I scold you? If it weren't your grandmother, my mother would be eager..."

She stopped, sighed, and embraced her daughter lovingly.

Gaffer closed his eyes with a small face leaning against his mother's arms.

Everything is going well, and things are moving step by step toward her expectations.

The strange illness that Brother Quan suddenly struck that day was in her expectation.

This child is the most important key figure in her retirement plan.

There was a time in the previous life. Brother Quan was fine a moment ago. He ran to Mrs. Xin’s house. Not long after he came out, his head and face were swollen, his body was rash, and itching, and the rubbing didn’t work. After a few days, he took his time. The land was better. I didn’t expect to have this kind of illness again soon. I tossed it several times and suffered a lot. The imperial doctor couldn’t find out the cause of the disease. I went to Mrs. Xin's house all the time, and he suffered from such a disease when he came out.

At first, Mrs. Xin thought her house was not clean, so she quickly asked someone to do something to exorcise evil spirits, but it still didn't work.

Later, it was Gaffer who found the root cause of the disease.

The problem lies in the ambergris smoked in Mrs. Xin's room.

The real ambergris has a soft and deep aroma, vivid and elegant, the original fragrance is pure, without any odor, and the back odor of frozen borneol also carries a special faint wood moss odor, two scents , It is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish.

Gaffer was very familiar with spices, and recognized that the smoked in Mrs. Xin's room was not the ambergris she had always used, but the frozen borneol. After counting the days, Brother Quan got the strange disease after starting to switch to this box of spices, so he withdrew the incense, and sure enough, Brother Quan never got sick again. Later, the imperial doctor said that Brother Quan should be uncomfortable with the spice, this disease is extremely rare, and he told him not to use the incense near him in the future.

Ambergris has the name of Tianxiang, the top-grade ambergris, and the fragrance can last for several months. The rich and famous people in Beijing, as long as they are used, there is no need for ambergris. This is also one of the signs of identity.

Mrs. Xin has always smoked ambergris, but now she is tight, but she still refuses to switch to something else. This box of frozen dragon brains was brought up in filial respect by the head of the next villager. It was said that it was a high-priced ambergris. Mrs. Xin couldn’t tell whether it was true or not. When the original was used up, she took out this box and used it, but she didn’t expect it. It was a box of pseudo-incense, which also caused Brother Quan to suffer a lot. When he learned the truth, he also lost a lot of temper.

This incident caused the whole Weiguo government to make trouble at the time, and Jiafu was deeply impressed. In this life, he naturally thought of using frozen dragon brain to help him get out of trouble. This is why she has been using cold dragon brain since she came back from Xishan Temple.

Ordinary people who are close can only smell her ambergris. How do you know that this incense is not the other incense?

Slowly lead Mrs. Song to be dissatisfied with herself. This is a drug lead.

She lacks an excuse for a seizure, then hand it to her. Let her use her and her brother's fate as an excuse, and come forward to disturb the marriage. This is the strong medicine that Jiafu wants to cast.

This method is indeed not kind to the child, but at that time, Jiafu just hesitated and made a decision.

In the past life, she was kind to others, gave way everywhere, tolerated everything, but did not get the so-called good results.

Life is hard. In this life, whoever treats her well, she will treat her well, and if possible, repay twice.

That's enough, don't think about the rest.

"Mother, sister, here it is!"

The carriage gradually slowed down, and the voice of her brother Zhen Yaoting came from the window.

"Afu, here it is. There are so many people here today, my mother is busy, I am afraid I can't take care of you, don't squeeze in front to avoid collision, stay in a quieter room at the back, and my mother will send someone to call you later."

Mrs. Meng patted her daughter's shoulder lightly.

Gaffer opened her eyes, smiled sweetly at her mother, and gave a hum.
