Chapter 20: Mofu

Li Anyue looked at the little man biting her lip in front of her, and couldn't help laughing, "Ke'er, how old are you?" ”

"Childe, Ke'er is fifteen this year."

"I'm a year older than you, maybe you shouldn't call me Son, you should call me Sister." Li Anyue smiled and helped her up.

"Huh?" Ke'er looked at the young man in front of her in disbelief and blinked her eyes, and couldn't react for a moment what this meant.

Li Anyue knew that she couldn't believe it, so she took off the blue hairband on her head, and the green silk poured down and fell behind her. "Believe it, huh?"

"Gong ...... Miss, Ke'er ......" Ke'er looked at her stammering, feeling shy for her previous recklessness for a while, and admired the stunning appearance of the woman in front of her, and couldn't help but blush.

"My name is Li Anyue, you can also call me sister, I don't mind."

"No, don't dare. Miss, even if Miss is a daughter, Ke'er is willing to serve Miss. Ke'er hurriedly knelt down at this time.

"Don't get down on your knees at every turn." Li Anyue reluctantly pulled her up again, "Ke'er, have you ever thought about it, if you follow me, what will your grandmother do?" ”

"Miss Li, rest assured, the old body will take care of herself." When the old woman heard this, she quickly leaned over and said.

"Don't say that, old woman. Ke'er, I don't have any money on me, and I may provoke some people who can't be provoked, and my life will be in danger at all times. I understand your intentions, but if something happens, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you. ”

Ke'er was stunned for a moment when she heard this, what is the matter with this life being in danger at any time?

"Ke'er, even if it's for my good, I still hope you can find another place to live quickly, and if possible, you should leave Tianyang City."

"Well, I still have a cousin here, I can go over and take refuge, but we're leaving, will something happen to you?" Ke'er asked hesitantly.

"Don't worry, as long as you're safe, those people won't hurt me." Li Anyue saw that Ke'er was relieved, and patted her chest with a big grin to reassure.

After that, Li Anyue chatted with Ke'er while packing up her things, and learned that Ke'er's name is Chen Ke'er, her father and mother are villagers over there in Anxi, and she and her grandmother went to Tianyang more than ten years ago in order to make a living, but her mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to her, and her father also died of overwork when she was 9 years old, leaving only her and her grandmother, with the money that her grandmother usually sells tofu and the help of her cousin, she worked hard to raise Ke'er, but her grandmother also fell ill a year ago, needs to keep taking medicine and treatment, so Ke'er was deceived by Chunsheng Pavilion into signing a deed of sale.

Ke'er knew that Li Anyue was not from Tianyang City, so she asked her what she was here for. Li Anyue couldn't tell her her identity for a while, but she just said that she came to find relatives, and remembered that her mother-in-law might know about Mofu, so she asked her.

"Mofu? Is it General Mo's house? A flash of light flashed in the old woman's cloudy eyes.

"Yes, mother-in-law, do you know?" Li Anyue seemed to grasp hope for a moment and looked at her happily.

"Miss has a life-saving grace for us, the old body shouldn't doubt Miss, but I still want to ask Miss why she is looking for the Mo family?" The old woman sat up straight and asked solemnly.

"Oh, my mother used to be a descendant of Mofu, and her last wish before she died was to let me show her." Li Anyue lowered her head and said, the two thought that she remembered the sad thing, so they comforted her, but in fact, Li Anyue just blushed because she lied.

"Miss's Day condolences. The old man used to be a subordinate of the Mo Mansion, but he left the palace after getting married, but he can also understand your mother's thoughts. ”

"I've asked a lot of people before, but strangely enough, they all said they didn't know." Li Anyue remembered her previous doubts.

"They can't be blamed either. Sixteen years ago, a fire destroyed the entire Mo Mansion, and then the government posted a notice saying that the general had killed too many enemies, and God condemned the people to talk about it, but anyone who violated it would be arrested, and over time, people avoided talking about it. The old woman couldn't help but cry when she remembered the past, but Ke'er was worried that she had hurt her body, so she hurriedly comforted her.

Hmph, God condemned you? Sling the bull! Li Anyue's palms clenched into fists because of anger, "Mother-in-law, where is the original Mofu?" ”

"To the west of Tianyang City, at the entrance of Zhengyang Street, it's just that now it became a royal mansion five years ago."

"Ke'er, mother-in-law, I still have something to do, let's go first, you guys should hurry up and pack up your things and leave." Li Anyue couldn't wait to see it after hearing it.

"So, Miss, when will we be able to see each other again?" Ke'er has a good impression of the person in front of her, and she is very reluctant.

"I'll go find you." Li Anyue smiled helplessly, could only say vaguely, and stuffed her with twenty taels of silver, "Ke'er, I don't have much money, you can take these twenty taels for backup first." ”

Before Ke'er could refuse, Li Anyue had already disappeared into the alley quickly.

On the way back to the inn, Li Anyue vaguely felt that there were people following behind him, and there was more than one, so he specially chose an alley with few people, and then secretly used light skills to easily throw off the stalker, and then went back to the inn and jumped in through the window.

Li Anyue took a shower, changed out of men's clothes, and caused such a big commotion in Tianyang City, if she went out like this, she would definitely be targeted, so she simply changed back into women's clothes, so that the young man disappeared unconsciously, and was replaced by a beautiful and lovely girl. Li Anyue thought about it and couldn't help but snicker at her narcissism.

Li Anyue changed the clothes that her master had sewn by herself, and braided part of the green silk on her head into a braid, and the rest of the hair was scattered like this, no way, although she has lived here for so long, Li Anyue has always been wearing a ponytail in Peach Blossom Village or at the master's house, and the people around her were surprised at first, and then they were not surprised. Reaching out and plucking another jasmine from the vase, she put it on her head, and then swaggered downstairs.

The original lively voices in the restaurant gradually quieted down when Li Anyue walked down the stairs, and the woman in front of her was wearing a plain white placket waist support skirt, with a little blue flower on her sleeves, and a dark green belt loosely tied around her waist, a green silk simply hung behind her, and a small jasmine flower was inserted on the green silk, and a burst of fragrance wafted from time to time fascinated people's hearts. The girl's complexion is like jade, her two big flickering eyes are full of aura, her handsome nose, and her small cherry lips. Everyone is lamenting which fairy has fallen into the world.

"Which young lady is this, why have you never heard of it?"

"It's so beautiful, it can be called the first beauty in Tianyang."

"No, I don't think that although the appearance is excellent, it does not have the charm of the falling goose girl, which is not enough to tempt a man."

"The girl who falls wild is too fat, but she is not as good as the girl in front of her."

"It's the so-called beautiful woman who captivates the city and the country."

……

Li Anyue looked at the people who slowly came up, and couldn't help but be a little startled, she knew that her appearance was not bad, but she was still surprised by the reaction of these people, couldn't anyone in Tianyang City have ever seen a beautiful woman? While people were still discussing, she flew away from the inn.

It's no wonder that those people, they must have seen a lot of beauties, but the fresh and elegant temperament on Li Anyue's body is rare, and a fresh and elegant white jasmine grows in this prosperous imperial capital like ten thousand bewitching red roses, which quickly attracts people's attention. And Li Anyue didn't know that he had become the talk of Tianyang City after tea and dinner afterwards, and his outfit was imitated by each other, and for a while, there were many counterfeit white jasmines in Tianyang City.

After seeing the people in the inn like that, Li Anyue bought himself a veil and walked down the street. At this time, she realized that Tianyang City in the night was so beautiful, a street was hung with fiery red lanterns, there were many interesting stalls on the street, restaurants and inns were also brightly lit, and it seemed to be particularly lively tonight.

"Daddy, Daddy, let's go see the lanterns!" A little girl beside her begged her father to be coquettish, and after a while, the family of three walked intimately to the crowded side.

Looking at lanterns? Li Anyue looked up at the sky, and saw a bright moon hanging high in the sky, looking down on the joy of this mortal world, counting the days, today is the Lantern Festival. Li Anyue suddenly remembered something, so she turned around and went to buy some wine, as well as osmanthus cakes, mung bean cakes and some fruits, and walked to the west.

It didn't take long to see the magnificent gate, two stone lions with their mouths open were standing at the door, the vermilion gate was tightly closed, and there was a big gold-lettered plaque on the door "Qingyi Wangfu", and the two guards in guard clothes stood motionless at the door, and it was estimated that they would not have any reaction even if the ten-level typhoon came.

Is this the former Mofu? The old woman said that the Qingning Mansion was built after the Mofu was turned into ashes, and she didn't know who the Qingning King was.

Li Anyue glanced at the heavily guarded gate, turned around and walked quickly to the alley next to him, jumped onto the roof in a dark place, Li Anyue tapped his toes, barely stepped on the tiles, flew all the way to the roof of the west of the Qingning Palace, found a lower place, made sure that the people below could not see him, so he sat down with confidence, and took off the veil that was in the way and put it aside, and after putting out the same food, he stacked up the large and small cakes and made it look like a multi-layered cake.

"Happy birthday." Li Anyue closed her eyes, folded her hands in front of her chest and silently made a wish: I wish me to find the murderer of my mother and dozens of lives in Mofu as soon as possible.
