Chapter 20: I Found You
Fang Mojiao returned to her residence in a daze, she never thought that Aunt Du would die so miserably.
Since Mrs. Du died, the relative that Jian Yan cares about the most is Aunt Du, and now that Aunt Du was killed by King Yunyang, how can Jian Yan bear it. She had a bad premonition in her heart, and she always felt that Jian Yan's disappearance was to avenge Aunt Du.
Thinking of this possibility, she tossed and turned in bed and did not sleep all night, and when she woke up the next day, she had a severe blue-black patch under her eyes.
Waiting for her to freshen up was another big girl, Baihuan, who was startled when she saw her appearance, "Girl, haven't you slept all night?" ”
Fang Mojiao said: "It's almost." You cover me with fat powder for a while, don't let my mother see it. ”
Baihuan had no choice but to do so.
After covering it with fat powder, Fang Mojiao's complexion was much better, and when she went to Jane's to say goodbye, the two sisters-in-law had already arrived.
Sister-in-law Fang's eyes were sharp, and she could see at a glance that Fang Mojiao's spirit was a little wrong, and she asked with concern, "Didn't my sister sleep well last night?" ”
Jane and Shen looked at her in unison.
Fang Mojiao was just about to speak, when she heard Jane's ask, "Have you drunk the soothing soup sent from the stove?" ”
"Drunk." Fang Mojiao nodded, "Mother, don't worry, I'm fine." ”
Jane blamed herself when she heard this, "It's all my fault, if only I didn't let you read the letter." She always thought her daughter was scared.
"Mother, I'm not because of Du... Cousin Yan's matter, I am afraid that my mother agreed to my uncle's proposal, I don't like that Qi Yunzhi, and I don't want to marry Jiangnan. In order to calm her mother's heart, Fang Mojiao had to pull Qi Yunzhi out to block the arrows.
It turned out that it was for this, Jane breathed a sigh of relief when she heard it, "Let me tell me, why don't you like Qi Yunzhi?" ”
Fang Mojiao remembered that when she was in Jiangnan, Qi Yunzhi was very rude to her, and she deliberately kicked him into the lake because she was disgusted with him. I didn't expect it to be like this, the Qi family was still beating her idea. So he told all about what Qi Yunzhi had done.
When Jane learned that Qi Yunzhi's conduct was not good, she immediately complained about Mrs. Jane, how could she allow such frivolous people to covet her pampered pearl in her palm?
At this time, Fang Mojiao took the opportunity to say to Jane's: "Mother, I haven't seen my second aunt for a long time, can you allow me to go to Zheng's house to play for a few days?" ”
The daughter wanted to go not to another house, but to her own sister's house, and Jane readily agreed.
With Jane's consent, Fang Mojiao went to Zheng's house in the family's carriage after eating the morning food. It was just an excuse that she missed Aunt Jane, and her real purpose was to ask Zheng Yu for help.
After meeting Zheng Yu, she told him about Aunt Du's death and Jian Yan's disappearance, and asked him to help find Jian Yan.
Zheng Yu was very angry when he heard this, "That Yunyang King is so absurd and unreasonable, even if he dies hundreds of times, it will be difficult to appease the crimes he has committed. ”
"Cousin Yu, it's not a pity that King Yunyang died, but what I'm worried about is that Cousin Yan will not hesitate to take his own life in order to take revenge. You have a lot of connections, can you help find someone? ”
Zheng Yu sighed and said, "It's been almost two months since King Yunyang returned to Beijing, and Cousin Yan disappeared a few years ago. If he wanted to seek revenge against King Yunyang, he might have done it a long time ago. Now that King Yunyang is still alive and well, and there is no news of his assassination, there are only two possibilities, first, he is waiting for the most suitable time and is ready to kill King Yunyang with one move; Second, he had already done it on the way back to Beijing for King Yunyang, but he was just ......"
Seeing Zheng Yu stop, Fang Mojiao asked anxiously: "It's just what, you say it quickly!" ”
"The second situation is also the worst situation, King Yunyang has many guards around him, if Cousin Yan rashly assassinates, whether he can succeed or not, maybe he will lose his life because of it."
Hearing this, Fang Mojiao couldn't help but take two steps back, "No, Cousin Yan is not the kind of person who acts impulsively, he must be fully prepared before acting." ”
She looked at Zheng Yu and pleaded, "Cousin Yu, you must help me find him." ”
Zheng Yu nodded, "Don't worry, Jian Yan is also my cousin, I won't care." However, after all, King Yunyang is a clan, and it is not appropriate to use officialdom connections to investigate, so I plan to find some brothers on the road to help. ”
Fang Mojiao knew that Zheng Yu usually liked to make friends, and it would be much easier to do things with his help, so she solemnly thanked him and told him to be more careful.
In order to wait for Jian Yan's news, Fang Mojiao stayed at Zheng's house. Zheng Yu would tell him every day how things were going, but it wasn't the news she wanted.
It wasn't until the fifth day that Zheng Yu brought back an exciting news, one of his friends found out that Jian Yan had come to the capital, but unfortunately he didn't know where he was hiding now.
Hearing that Jian Yan had come to the capital, Fang Mojiao breathed a sigh of relief, which proved that the second situation was ruled out. Soon she became worried again, Jian Yan's purpose in coming to the capital was obviously to seek revenge on King Yunyang, and she had not made a move, was she really waiting for the right time?
Seeing that she was anxious, Zheng Yu comforted: "Don't worry, we just keep looking, we will definitely find him." ”
Fang Mojiao nodded, in this situation, she could only think about the benefits.
After staying at Zheng's house for a few days, Jane sent someone to pick her up. Before leaving, Mo Ji told Zheng Yu that if she had news about Jian Yan, she must tell her as soon as possible. Zheng Yu assured her that she would go to Fang's house immediately with Jian Yan's news.
No one expected that the search for someone would not go well. After half a month, Zheng Yu's people were about to turn the capital upside down, but there was still no news of Jian Yan.
Fang Mojiao was very anxious in her heart, but this kind of anxiety couldn't be said to others. After thinking about it, she decided to go to Fahua Temple to offer incense and pray for the Buddha to bless Jian Yan with safety.
Jane's was worried that her daughter would go to Fahua Temple alone, and Shen volunteered to accompany her, so Jane asked Second Brother Fang to send them there.
When she arrived at Fahua Temple, Fang Mojiao prayed very sincerely in front of the Buddha, hoping to get the news of Jian Yan as soon as possible. Shen is seeking a son, hoping to be happy this year and give birth to a smart and clever son before the beginning of spring next year.
After the sister-in-law made a wish, they walked in the backyard of Fahua Temple for a while, and Shen was a little tired, so Fang Mojiao asked her to go to the meditation room to rest.
Fang Mojiao didn't let Baixi follow, saying that she wanted to walk around the backyard of Fahua Temple by herself. Baixi was worried about her own girl, and planned to follow from afar, but was vetoed by Fang Mojiao.
There is a bamboo forest in the backyard of Fahua Temple, and in the bamboo forest lives Fang Lao Taijun's father, Master Void, Fang Moyu and Fang Moyu followed her grandmother Fang Lao Taijun many times when she was a child. This time, she didn't let Baixi follow, just to see the Void Master.
But when she approached the bamboo forest, she was stopped by the little novice who was guarding the entrance of the bamboo forest.
"Female benefactor, please go back, the Void Master doesn't see anyone today."
"Little Master, I am a descendant of the Void Master's worldly life, and I came here today to ask for something."
Xiao Shami shook his head, "The Void Master said that his fate has been broken, and no matter who comes today, he will not see him. ”
Hearing this, Fang Mojiao knew that she was afraid that she would come in vain today, and she couldn't help but leave disappointed.
When she returned the same way and passed through a narrow corridor, she was suddenly covered by someone from behind, and she was about to struggle subconsciously, but she heard a familiar voice in her ears.
"Don't be afraid, it's me." The hot breath that the man sprayed as he spoke fell next to her ear, making Fang Mojiao forget to resist.
"Cousin, it's me." Jian Yan saw that she was stunned, and repeated it again.
Fang Mojiao turned to look at him, and beat him with red eyes, "You stinky boy, you dare to come to the capital alone, do you know that if I can't find you, I'm going to die." ”
Jian Yan let her vent, and after she calmed down, the two found a secluded place to talk.
Jian Yan told Fang Mojiao, "Cousin Ji, I didn't plan to go back alive when I came to the capital this time, I must kill Shangguan Rong, the thief, to avenge my aunt." Ever since I came to the capital, I've been thinking about meeting you, and I didn't find a chance until today. ”
As he spoke, he took a jade ring from his neck and stuffed it into Fang Mojiao's hand, "This was put on by my aunt when I was born, and now I give it to you, just as a memory." ”
"I don't want it, this is what your aunt gave you, you can take care of it yourself." Fang Mojiao returned the jade ring to him, and said angrily: "Can you not do stupid things, the masters around King Yunyang are like forests, how can you, a weak scholar, get close to him, aren't you in a hurry to send him to death?" ”
