Chapter 191 Extra: Pei Yu (Ten)
In the autumn of the eighteenth year of Zhenhe, in an ordinary farmer's home in Yunzhou.
"Mother, tell me another story."
As the night deepened, in the bedroom, a five-year-old girl lay in her mother's arms, wriggling and acting coquettishly.
The woman lay on the earthen kang, smiled and closed her eyes: "No need to talk, mother is also sleepy."
The little girl was about to cry: "No no no, I want to listen, I want to listen!"
"Don't bother your mother."
A tall and burly man walked in, picked up the little girl with a smile, and put her on the other end of the earthen kang as easily as picking up cotton.
The little girl wanted to crawl back to find her mother, but her father was lying in the middle blocking her way.
She immediately got angry and hit her father.
The man was not angry. He let his daughter mess around and turned around to hug his wife in his arms: "Ah Miao, there will be a big fair in the county tomorrow. I will take you to go shopping."
The little girl stopped beating her father and exclaimed, "Daji? I want to go too!"
The man ignored her and just looked at his wife tenderly.
Yue Miao smiled and said, "Okay, I just happened to want to buy two pieces of satin to make clothes for you and Xiao Lianhua."
"Don't always think about me and her. Take care of yourself. Buy whatever jewelry you want. Your man is not so poor that he can't support the family."
Yue Miao smiled shyly and happily.
*
This is her ninth year of marriage to Lin Dahu.
Nine years ago, with the help of Yuexi and Prince An, she faked her death and escaped from Pei Yu, running aimlessly all the way until that day when she met with danger in the mountains and was picked up by this man and taken home.
During the period of recuperation, the two quickly fell in love, and Yue Miao married him. Three years later, they gave birth to a daughter and named her Xiao Lianhua.
Little Lotus is five years old now.
What happened in the palace and Prince Yu's mansion seemed like a nightmare. When she woke up, she found her husband and children, and her life was full of happiness.
The next day, Yue Miao and her husband went to the county market.
There was a vendor selling candied haws on the street, and Lin Dahu bought three strings, one for each of the three members of his family.
Little Lotus was holding up a candied haws, jumping for joy, when suddenly a voice of expulsion came from behind her: "Get out of the way! The palace carriage is in a hurry!"
When Yue Miao heard the word "Royal Palace", she was almost subconsciously frightened. She hurriedly wanted to pick up her daughter and run away, but was first protected by her husband in his arms.
In front of her was the man's broad, firm chest. His hot breath sprayed down from above, and he soothed her, "Don't be afraid, and don't run around."
Yue Miao's heart suddenly calmed down.
In the carriage.
Pei Nian was leaning against the car window to look at the scenery. After seeing something, he turned his head with a surprised look on his face: "Father, I saw a little sister who looks very similar to me."
The man sitting in the carriage had black and white hair and was holding a Buddhist scripture in his hand. Hearing what was said, he looked up at his daughter and said softly, "Don't blow the wind by the window. Come over here."
Pei Nian shook his head: "No, I like to watch the people outside, and I also like to watch the overlapping green mountains and the undulating rice and wheat. I think I got it from my mother."
Pei Yu's heart began to ache again.
"Little Guanyin, don't be willful. If your old illness relapses, your grandmother will be worried to death."
Pei Nian looked out a few more times greedily before lowering the curtain and returning to his father.
Pei Yu put down the Buddhist scriptures, held his daughter in his arms, reached out to feel her forehead, and was relieved when he found that the temperature was normal.
He held his daughter's cold hand and comforted her in a slow voice: "I heard that this miracle doctor is really capable and will definitely be able to cure your weakness."
Pei Nian didn't care: "I think it's not bad to keep this disease. This is the only thing my mother left me."
"What nonsense."
Pei Yu frowned, and Pei Nian knew that he was going to nag again, so he reached out and covered his mouth.
"Okay, I know I shouldn't say that, it just came out of my mouth."
Pei Yu swallowed back the words of instruction.
After sitting in the carriage for a few days, Pei Nian, who was already weak, soon became tired again and fell asleep with his head resting on his father's legs.
In a daze, she seemed to feel a few drops of hot water falling on her cheeks.
It must be my father crying again.
