Chapter 217: Eyebrows

Shopkeeper Han promised to find someone for Mulan, and he was very attentive, and after arriving in Jizhou, he personally went to Panshui Town. After inquiring about the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info, I learned that the Zhang and Hu families no longer live in the town.

After Zhang's call for exile, Zhang's father and sister couldn't stand the guidance of the townspeople, and it didn't take long for them to move out. As for where it went, no one in the town knows.

Hu Fa's father failed to find his son, and when he returned to the capital, he couldn't afford to get sick, and he left after less than two months. Hu Fa Niang kept guard for him for three years, remarried to a neighboring town, and died of dystocia after two years, leaving a little daughter.

There was only one lieutenant left in the know.

The elder there is a money fan, and he takes Zhang Naqiao's and makes all kinds of embarrassments. After the shopkeeper Han broke the bank, he opened his mouth and said that the child was sent to the Privet Temple when he was born, and he didn't know how the Privet Temple was disposed of.

According to his instructions, the shopkeeper Han found a female envoy named Shanming in the Privet Temple. The envoy of Shanming was very secretive about the events of the year, and refused to reveal the whereabouts of the child.

Shopkeeper Han returned frustrated, and sent someone to inquire from many parties, and after more than two months of busy work, he finally had some eyebrows.

"Then where is he now?" asked Mulan eagerly.

"Because he was a boy, it was difficult to leave him in the privet temple to raise him, so he sent him to a temple called 'Lingyan Zen Temple'. When I traced the source and searched for the past, I learned that the Lingyan Temple had been abandoned several years ago, and the monks in the temple had scattered, and the child's clues had been broken. Shopkeeper Han said regretfully.

Mulan was full of disappointment, but she didn't want to show it in front of Shopkeeper Han, after all, he had done his best.

How could a person like a shopkeeper not understand her mood at this time? Hurriedly added: "I had to leave Jizhou first due to business matters, and before leaving, I had already arranged for people to inquire about the whereabouts of the monks in the temple. Just find one of them, ask about the child, and then it's easy to find it again. ”

"Shopkeeper Han, thank you so much. Mulan said gratefully.

"Miss Xie is polite, from Sanshui Town to the capital, we were able to meet and cooperate twice, which can be regarded as fate, why should this little thing be a trivial matter?" ”

Mulan thanked her again and again, and asked about the third son of the saint, saying that she was not in the capital at the moment, and she was afraid that she would not be able to meet in a short time. This time it was a rebellion again, and it was Zhao Chonghua's family affair, she had not been able to calm down and draw, only settled the previous money, and then resigned.

Back at the Guogong Mansion, I met Xiaohua at the door.

"The girl is back?" he greeted him with gratitude.

After two months in the Guogong Mansion, his injuries have long been healed. Because he ate well and slept steadily, he was a little taller. The man is still thin, but his face is much more ruddy and full than when he came.

Mulan looked at his slippery head, and her heart moved, "By the way, Xiaohua, where are you from?"

"Me?" Xiaohua grinned, "Fight from all over the world." ”

"I'm asking where your hometown is. ”

Xiaohua saw her with a straight face, and also joked, "I lived in Wuzhou until I was eight years old, why did the girl remember to ask this?"

"Nothing. Mulan smiled, and said in her heart that she really thought too much, the world is so big, how can there be such a clever method?

At this time, the weather was still very cold, he only wore a half-worn cotton robe, his head was uncovered, not even a hat, and his nose was frozen red.

"I'm leaving, I want to say goodbye to the girl face to face, and I'm waiting for the girl here. Xiaohua said with a grin.

Mulan felt a little sudden, "You want to go?"

"yes. Xiaohua nodded, "My injuries are almost healed, it's time to go to my master." My master has a bad temper and can't speak softly, and without me staring at him, I don't know how much more he will suffer. ”

Although Mulan pitied him for wandering around, she also knew that he had been thinking about his master, and there was no reason to stop him from fulfilling his filial piety, but she was a little worried, "Do you know where to find your master?"

After the New Year, Lian Gui sent things to the mountain a few times, but he didn't see Xiaohua's master. The things sent back the first time were gone, but the first few times they were sent were left there as they were, and I don't know where his unreliable master had gone, and he didn't even leave a note.

"There are only a few places he can go, and if you look carefully, you can always find them. Xiaohua is very optimistic.

Mulan didn't say much, "Then you should be more careful, and I wish you to find the master as soon as possible." ”

When he returned to Yu Tingge, he asked Ruixi to pay ten taels of silver from the account, and packed up some jerky and pastries to send him.

Lian Gui and Changxin also had feelings with him these days, and found a little guy who was about the same size as him, and asked him to replace them. Early the next morning, according to Mulan's instructions, he drove him out of the city. It was sent to the foot of the mountain, and Fang turned around.

In March, families can't wait to start a flower feast.

On the day of the banquet at the Li family, Mulan prepared early. This is the first time she has gone to Li's house for a banquet as a prospective daughter-in-law, and she can't lose face to Mrs. Li, so she dresses up very carefully.

Just after cleaning up, Mrs. An sent Tan Yun to pass the word, saying that the second son of the Li family was ordered by Mrs. Li to pick up their grandchildren and grandchildren.

"Second Prince Li is afraid that he can't wait to see the girl. Bao Fu quipped, and the girls all covered their mouths and laughed.

"You talk a lot. Mulan glanced at Baofu, looked in the mirror, and saw that there was nothing wrong, so she led a few girls out of the door.

Li Cang is a quasi-son-in-law, and the subordinates in the house never treated him as an outsider, and directly led him to the courtyard of Mrs. An. At this time, he was sitting at the bottom and drinking tea with Mrs. An. In front of his elders, he didn't dare to look around, but his ears were always pricked up.

After all, since the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, he and Mulan have not met again.

I wanted to take the opportunity of enjoying the lanterns to get close to her, but who would have expected to encounter such a big mess as the murder of the monarch and the rebellion? He and Li Xi were relatively lucky, and they escaped from the crazy crowd early and returned to the Li Mansion.

After learning that Mulan was missing, he had to take someone to find it in person. Li Jiye was afraid that he would be young and reckless and get involved in unnecessary trouble, so he said that he would not be allowed to go out, and asked his family to take care of him.

Although Mulan was able to return home safely with the help of well-wishers, he has always been haunted by this matter.

After martial law was lifted, he had visited the Guogong Mansion twice, wanting to explain to Mulan why he had not stepped forward when she was most helpless and in need of protection. It's a pity that Mrs. An didn't allow him to meet with Mulan as understandingly as before, and he didn't have the cheekiness to take the initiative.

He didn't know if Mulan would be angry with him because of this, and he felt uneasy every time he thought about it. Suddenly, I heard the voice of "girl" from outside the door, my heart jumped suddenly, and my back subconsciously straightened.
