Chapter 550: Strange Things
There are rumors that the political enemies of the Fan family are dissatisfied with Fan Yun's return to the court to deliberately disgust him, and there are also rumors that Fan Ge Lao did something hurtful in his early years, and someone came to seek revenge.
Some people sighed that Fan Ge Lao had left the power center of the capital for five years, and some things were really different, and the Fan family was afraid that it would be difficult to return to the original prosperity.
The Fan family doesn't know if they haven't heard these rumors or if they haven't taken them seriously at all, they have kept a low profile since they recovered, and the daughters of the Fan family don't go out except for necessary entertainment, and the children of the Fan family also study behind closed doors.
At the beginning, Fan Yun was like fire and water with Shoufu Mu Ru in the court before he became a scholar, but after coming back this time, he was very low-key, and he chose to avoid his edge when he had disagreements with Mu Ge several times. This made some people believe even more that the Fan family's momentum was far less than what it was at the beginning.
When He Linwan got these news, he knew that the Fan family's move was just because he had just returned to the dynasty and chose to temporarily stay in the dark, so that a bunch of people who were waiting to find fault with him could relax their vigilance, in fact, the Fan family must have made a lot of secret deployments, He Linwan didn't look at anything else, just look at her grandmother Wei's recent dispatch of people back to her parents' house and the sudden increase in the number of times she participated in various entertainments.
With Fan Yun's many years of operation in the court and the connections of the Yang family he took over, it must not be long before his power can return to the top again to compete with the Mu family. This is also the purpose of Emperor Tiancheng to urgently summon Fan Yun back to the dynasty, and Emperor Tiancheng needs the Fan family to balance the power of the Mu family.
He Linwan sat alone in front of the bookcase, holding a pen in his hand, looking at a piece of rice paper spread out in front of him and pondering.
I saw that the Fan family was written on the left side of the rice paper used to practice calligraphy, and the Mu family was written on the right, just like the two camps separated by the Chu River and the Han realm, and some surnames and official positions were listed in the form of branches and leaves under the two families, all of which were attached to the families under the two families.
He Linwan thought about it, put some ink on it, and added the names of several cabinet ministers and local officials from the six ministries and provinces to the paper.
The paper was densely filled with surnames and official positions, and finally He Linwan connected these names one by one with a thread, forming an overwhelming network of relationships, and the level of detail was so detailed that the officials of the court couldn't help but be shocked when they saw it.
Chunxiao took a look at it when she came over with tea, and immediately respected her girl.
"Girl, what are you drawing? Tai Chi Bagua Array? Is it for the second lady to deter those lonely graves and wild ghosts when they are doing things? The slave and maid think it must be useful! Just now, the slave and maid took a look at it, and instantly felt dizzy, as if they were about to be taken in! You see, the slaves and maids can be suppressed by it, let alone those demons?"
He Linwan put the pen back on the pen stand, picked up the paper and handed it to Chunxiao, and ordered, "Burn it." ”
"Girl, you've been painting for so long, what a pity it burned?"
Having said that, Chunxiao obediently took it, walked to the incense burner in the middle of the room and lit it with a fire breaker, and then lifted the lid and threw it into the incense burner.
He Linwan looked at the green smoke coming out of the incense burner, and said lightly: "Since it is a thing that suppresses ghosts, how can it be easily revealed." ”
Chunxiao immediately said convincingly: "What the girl said makes sense. ”
He Linwan asked, "Grandmother didn't go out in the house today?"
"Yes, girl! Today we are going to do things for the second master, this time the old lady and the second lady have invited both the Taoist chief of the Xuanqing Temple in the capital and the mages of the Baoan Temple to do the dojo for a full forty-nine days! Although it is led by the second lady's side, after all, the lady is in charge of the house, and the lady has to ask how to arrange the manpower and venue. ”
He Linwan nodded, what the old lady and the second lady want to do is a double dojo of Buddhism and Taoism, and the scale is not small. I heard that one hundred and eight monks were invited from Baoan Temple to come to the house to recite scriptures, and ninety-nine Taoist masters were invited from Xuanqing Temple to try to try the altar at the gate of the house, and they were the masters of the dojo for 49 days.
The news of the He family's practice also spread early in the morning, after all, the incident of the Cao family fainting in front of the grave that day was also a strange thing in the capital.
Chunxiao said: "The people outside know that our house is going to do things, and they stay at the gate early in the morning to watch the excitement, saying that they want to see if there is really a manifestation, and now the alley outside the house is blocked by people watching the excitement, and even the neighbors who are neighbors in our house have to go out from the back door or side door today." ”
It didn't take long for He Linwan to hear the sound of wooden fish and chanting scriptures from far away, presumably the Dharma had already begun, and on such an occasion, the juniors in the next room did not need to be present, just stay in the room.
About an hour later, Chunxiao, who secretly ran out to see the excitement, suddenly ran back with a frightened face.
"Aunt, girl! The second master has appeared!"
He Linwan was testing the homework of Brother Jie and Xiaohuzi in the study, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this.
Brother Jie, Xiaohuzi, and Ah Dan all turned their heads when they heard this, and looked at Chunxiao with curiosity.
Chunxiao's eyes were shining, her forehead was full of sweat, and she didn't know whether she was frightened or excited.
Adan slurred and asked, "Flash shrimp touching the mud?" (What kind of spirit?)
Because of the large number of people walking around the outer courtyard recently, He Linwan called Adan to the inner courtyard.
Chunxiao gestured and said: "It's just now! The Taoist priest of Xuanqingguan outside is playing Jiao, and there are more and more people around our mansion to watch the excitement, and suddenly, a little Taoist priest who gave a sword to the Taoist chief rolled his eyes and fell, and then stood up straight, saying that he was the second master of our mansion. ”
Brother Jie, Little Huzi, Ah Dan's eyes couldn't help but widen.
Seeing that something was wrong, the steward hurriedly went to invite the second lady, and the second lady thought that someone was deliberately making trouble and was very angry, and asked someone to get rid of the little Taoist. I didn't want the little Taoist priest to immediately call out the second lady's maiden name and shouted to the old lady who had just heard the news, and mentioned a few things that only the old lady knew about his childhood, and the old lady immediately believed it, and cried on the spot when she shouted 'my son', and the second lady also wiped her tears on the side. Now everyone believes that it is really the second master of our house who has appeared. Now that there is a commotion outside, someone has gone to invite the uncle and his wife. Girl, do you want to go and see it?"
Brother Jie, Xiaohuzi, and Ah Dan all turned their heads to look at He Linwan again, looking very similar to going out to see.
He Linwan thought for a while, put down the book in his hand, and said to them as he got up: "Copy the passages I just pointed out to you three times, and I will come back to check them later." ”
