    On the first seven days, the Pei family performed the first seven rituals at Ci'en Temple. After a night, they returned to the city and home the next day.

    There was a heavy snowstorm in the mountains last night, and it was freezing cold to the bone. Everyone stayed up all night, and they were all exhausted. When they came back, they dispersed to rest.

    Pei You'an and Jiafu returned to the room, and the servants brought hot water. After they washed up and changed their clothes, they lay down for a while. Another servant came to call, and the guardian who stayed in the temple sent someone to rush back to report.  , It is said that there is a century-old locust tree outside Gengen Hall, which houses the lotus platform for the ancestors of the Pei family. The inside of the trunk has been eaten away by insects and ants, but the branches are knotted, almost covering half of the yard of Gengen Hall. There was a heavy snowfall last night, and the mountain  The wind was strong, and I noticed that the branches were leaning a little this morning. The watchman was afraid that there would be another heavy snow tonight, and if the whole tree collapsed, it would be a big deal. Because the Pei family's ancestral lotus platform was nearby, he did not dare to dispose of it at will.  Therefore, we urgently sent someone back to report.

    Pei Youan told Jia Fu to sleep, got up, and ordered someone to ask Pei Quan for discussion.

    Pei Quanfang fell asleep, but was disturbed by his servants. He heard that there was a hidden danger in the temple. Pei Youan came to discuss it. He was about to get up, but the second lady grabbed him and said coldly: "It's not really smashed."  Come down, why are you panicking? Isn't there someone over there holding the ancestral iron certificate given by the old lady? Whoever holds it can go. Without you, are you afraid that the sky will not light up? It's so cold outside, and it's going to be dark again.  It's snowing, the road is long, and your bones are already weak. Didn't you just complain that your knee joints are sore and swollen, making it difficult to walk? Just lie down and I'll give you a reply!"

    Before the old lady left, she gave the iron certificate to the second nephew of the first house. When arranging the separation of the two houses, she gave the second house more land and property to make up for it, but what Pei Quan secretly hoped for was the iron certificate.  , knowing that there is no hope, I feel extremely disappointed in my heart, and secretly blame my mother for being partial.  In addition, after many years of hard work, it was not easy for the old lady to get to where she is today. Not only did the old lady delay her son's spring, he was also forced to worry about it. With his qualifications, it was impossible to win her love. After three years, no one knew what happened.  What has it become?  Depressing things happened one after another, and Japan was very depressed at this time. When Meng said this, he hesitated and saw that Meng had already gone out, so he slowly lay back down.

    Pei You'an waited for a while, but did not see Pei Quan. Instead, the second lady came and said apologetically: "You'an, it's really unfortunate. Your uncle was frozen last night. After going down the mountain this morning, he had an old problem and his knees were swollen.  The pain is unbearable, so I just put two ointments on it. If you don¡¯t think Xiu Luo is in the way, why don¡¯t I ask him to go with you and give me a hand?"

    Pei You'an said no, and asked Meng to tell his uncle to rest in peace. Together with Pei Xiuzhi and his third uncle who came after hearing the news, he took a few stewards and hurried out. When he was pulling the horse, Zhou  A woman in front of Jiao'e ran out and said that Zhou Jiao'e was feeling a little unwell and was looking for the second master everywhere.

    " Two days after the old lady's funeral, Zhou Jiao'e was diagnosed as having a baby. She has been eating sour and sweet things these past few days, which is extremely valuable. Naturally, she stayed at home to raise her baby yesterday.

    Pei Xiuzhi scolded the woman: "If you don't invite the doctor to come and see you, what are you doing to me? I have other important matters!"

    The mother-in-law was obedient and turned to leave. Pei You'an said, "My brother and sister are in critical condition. I'll just go and take care of them. You can go back."

    Pei Xiuzhi resisted for a few words, but finally agreed reluctantly. He turned back and entered the inner room. He saw Zhou Jiao'e leaning on the bed with a warm woman in her arms. Chestnuts roasted in the stove were simmering, and the girl beside her was busy peeling them.  Shell, she looked at herself with a smile, then frowned: "Don't you mean you feel unwell?"

    Zhou Jiao'e asked the girls to go out, and said with a smile: "The wind outside is blowing like a knife. Someone has already gone to your place. What are you going to do with me? Who are you showing me? Come here quickly and give me a beating on your waist."  . Ouch, my waist is so sore that I can¡¯t even sit or lie down, half of my life is gone"

    Pei Xiuzhi couldn't feel any pain for her anymore, so he turned around with a sullen face and was about to go out. Behind him, Zhou Jiao'e raised her eyebrows, grabbed a handful of empty chestnut shells, threw them at his back, and shouted, "I'm so hot."  You have a cold butt on your face, you are a dog biting Lu Dongbin, don¡¯t you know the good heart? If you dare to step out of this house, you will watch! You are thinking that something happened to Zhou Guojiu, and this time Long Live will not please you.  , the Queen is no longer in your eyes, right?"

    She sneered, "After I got married, you started to find fault with me. Don't think I don't know. You are still thinking about the guy in the courtyard, right? Go ahead and dream! You won't do it either.  Look in the mirror and see clearly what a loser you are! That¡¯s me, I married a chicken and followed the chicken and loved you, but you treated me like a donkey! Beware of making me angry, everyone will break up, and no one will have a good life! "

    Pei Xiuzhi's face felt hot and he froze there.  Zhou Jiao'e finished her temper and picked up the handkerchief to wipe her tears.  Not long after, Mrs. Xin's coughing sound was heard outside. Pei Xiuzhi suppressed the anger in his heart, had no choice but to calm down his expression, went over to talk to her, and hugged her waist and squeezed her legs.

    ?Standing at the door in the eaves corridor, hesitating, he heard Pei You'an's voice suddenly coming from inside: "Come in."

    Although she had stepped lightly just now, the snow still made a slight crunching sound when she stepped on it.  Presumably he had already identified it.

    Jiafu responded softly, pushed open the ajar door, and saw Pei Youan standing in front of the window with his clothes on. The window was open. He turned his face and faced himself at the door.

    The surroundings were dark, and his figure was stuck in the night. Only a patch of snow outside the window reflected half of his deep-profile face.

    He looked at her with silent and gentle eyes.

    Jia Fu walked to him.  He touched her little hands that were already slightly cold: "You are wearing so little! Why aren't you sleeping yet?"

    "You're not sleeping either." Jia Fu defended herself in a low voice.

    He smiled slightly: "I'm getting ready to go to bed. It's time for you to sleep too."

    Jiafu said nothing.

    Pei You'an took advantage of the snowy light outside the window and looked at her critically, then held her shoulders, lowered his head and kissed her face, his voice was soft and soothing: "Don't worry about me, I'm fine."  .¡±

    After he finished speaking, he took off his outer cloak, put the warm clothes on her body, then put his arm around her shoulders and led her towards the door.

    Nothing can be hidden from him, including his own emotions.

    Tonight she braved the wind and snow to come here. She originally wanted to accompany him, but she didn't want it to end up being him comforting herself.

    Jiafu was moved, but felt lost, and refused to leave. She stayed in place, grabbing his sleeves with both hands, showing a little coquettishness and stubbornness.

    Pei Youan smiled and shook his head helplessly.

    He added some silver charcoal to the gradually extinguishing fire. When the charcoal fire became strong, he put a pot of tea on it, sat in a chair in front of the fire, and motioned for Jia Fu to come over.

    Kafu came to his side.  He sat her on his lap, covered her body with his clothes, and the two of them crowded into a chair.

    The warm firelight dances quietly in the dark night.  From the belly of the teapot on the stove, a slight but pleasant sound of boiling water gradually emerged.

    This quiet night in the mountain temple is so peaceful.

    Jiafu closed her eyes and leaned in his arms, gradually becoming sleepy and dazed. She didn't know how long it had passed before she felt as if she was being gently hugged.

    She opened her eyes and looked up at Pei You'an, who was about to lay her down on the couch. She stretched her arms around his neck and said in a low voice: "Cousin, I want to pay homage to your aunt.  You come with me, okay?"

    ¡­¡­

    Jia Fu was wrapped in three layers of clothes, and was held by Pei Youan's hand as she walked toward the courtyard deep in the monastery behind Ci'en Temple without anyone accompanying her.

    The night sky cleared, and the half-moon shadow gradually appeared, illuminating the entire mountain temple as if it were wrapped in silver. The only sound that could be heard was the slight crunch of snow under their feet.

    Gradually arriving at the place where few people usually approached, Pei Youan suddenly stopped.

    There is a fork in the road ahead, and there is a trail on the side that leads to the gate of the back mountain.

    It has been snowing for several days and nights intermittently, and the snow is half a foot thick. At this moment, there are two rows of footprints on the fork in the road. There is no snow on the footprints, leading all the way to the road.  The courtyard in front.

    In other words, just tonight, maybe a moment ago, someone had already gone to that place before them.

    Who could it be, in this bad weather with heavy snow that almost closed the mountains, in the middle of the night when no one was around, to come to this now almost abandoned place where the Queen of the Yuan Dynasty spent the last part of her life?

    Jiafu¡¯s heart skipped a beat, and she immediately thought of someone.

    She quietly glanced at the people beside her.

    Pei Youan frowned slightly, then continued to hold Jia Fu and walked forward.

    We are getting closer and closer to the closed door.

    The footprints in the snow are also clear, leading all the way to the door.

    Pei Youan went straight to the door, stretched out his hand, and pushed it.

    The door was not locked from the outside, but it could not be pushed open, as if it was bolted from the inside.

    Pei Youan frowned even more and pushed again, but the door still wouldn't open.

    His face darkened, he thought for a moment, led Jia Fu behind him, and then slowly drew out the long sword from his waist.

    The light of the sword reflected the snow, and a dazzling ice flash appeared under the moonlight.

    He pointed the tip of his sword at the crack of the door and said coldly: "I am Pei You'an. I know you are behind the door. This is a forbidden area, who are you, how dare you enter without permission! If you don't open the door and show yourself, my sword will not recognize anyone!"
