Chapter 13: Strange Dreams
His question reminded Fu Tingyun of Chen's mother's words "flies don't bite seamless eggs". She felt a little embarrassed, lowered her eyes, and rubbed the camellia on the teacup with her onion-like fingers, not noticing that the person on the other side suddenly turned his face away, picked up the empty teacup in his hand and was about to pass it to his mouth, but when she found that the teacup was empty, a trace of embarrassment flashed on her face.
Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere in the half-lit and half-dark room seemed a little dull.
It's not hospitality.
Fu Tingyun pondered, remembered the medicine in the stuffy cupboard, and stood up: "I have already got the medicine you wanted!" As he spoke, he opened the closet.
Two porcelain vases, one red and one green, are side by side there, with distinct colors and are very eye-catching.
She hesitated for a moment.
He has no reservations about himself, shouldn't she also be more upright and give him all the medicine in the cage?
I was a little uneasy in my heart.
Forget it, it's not good to open the cage at this time in case he can peek into his own mind.
Thinking of this, she took the medicine and turned around and put it on the coffee table: "The external application of green flowers, the internal application of red flowers......" roughly explained the usage.
Without asking, he carried the two bottles of medicine in his arms.
"Then I'll go first." His expression was calm, "I will only have time to enter the city tomorrow afternoon, and I will be back at noon the day after tomorrow at the latest!" β
Why tomorrow afternoon?
The thought flashed, and Fu Tingyun immediately understood.
He's going to the granary to steal grain!
Biyun Nunnery is the family temple of the Fu family, but she did his internal response, which is not a glorious thing. She pretended not to know, whispered, and watched his figure disappear into the roof.

Early the next morning, Fu Tingyun went to Hanyan.
Han Yan said straightly: "The slave is already fine, you don't need the green calyx to take care of it, let's let her go back to serve you!" β
The green calyx also nodded to the side.
"Why do you let those mothers-in-law have nothing to do after eating every day, and you are busy running back and forth?" Fu Tingyun waved his hand disapprerovingly, "You guys just have to rest!" I'm afraid that there are no people around me who are serving. "However, it is also boring to face them every day." Anyway, you can't go anywhere if you hurt your foot, let's talk! "Let the green calyx make a pot of tea and find a few pieces of snack.
Since he said that he would only have time to enter the city in the afternoon, he would probably come in the morning or noon to steal food, or detain the two little maids in the house, so as not to run around and be bumped into, and maybe something would happen.
Han Yan and Green Calyx are here to serve Fu Tingyun, and they are also serving when they talk with them, not only have no objections, but they are also full of interest.
"Where do we have any good tea and snacks here?" Green Calyx hurriedly said, "I'll go to your house to get some tea, and then go to the kitchen to see what ingredients are available, and I'll make a snack, you can wait." β
Of course, Fu Tingyun couldn't let her go.
"You can make any kind of tea, and it doesn't matter if you don't have snacks." She sat down on the small pestle in front of the bed, "It's so hot, don't toss." When your things are ready, it's time for lunch. I just don't want to see those mothers-in-law. β
Lu Cao laughed and went to prepare refreshments, Fu Tingyun asked about the family affairs of the two, and brought out the trivial topics of the seven aunts and eight aunts who were all familiar with each other, and it was soon noon.
No movement!
That is, things are scheduled for noon......
Fu Tingyun didn't let the two of them go out, and asked the rough mother-in-law to come in with lunch, eat here at Hanyan, and take a nap on Hanyan's bed.
The green calyx was busy fanning, and naturally did not dare to leave for a moment.
In the afternoon, there was a commotion from the west.
The green calyx wanted to take a look, but was pulled by Fu Tingyun: "What do you do with so much?" The sky is falling, and there is Mother Chen. Green Calyx thought about it, but it was getting more and more noisy over there, and Fu Tingyun couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it be that guy stole all the food? She couldn't sit still, and when Green Calyx offered to take a look again, she didn't stop: "Be careful." Don't patronize and watch the excitement and put yourself in. β
"Miss Nine, don't worry, I can save it." The green calyx is guaranteed to go out of the wing door.
After a while, he ran back in a panic.
"Miss Nine, it's not good, it's not good!" She panted, "Someone ran into the nunnery and not only stole the food hidden in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, but also injured Master Guozhi!" β
"How so!" Fu Tingyun's expression tightened, and he got up and walked out.
Green Calyx hurriedly followed, and said, "Master Guohui has received the news and carried Master Guozhi to Qibaotang. β
Qibaotang is the residence of Master Guohui, the presiding officer of Biyun Temple.
The corners of Fu Tingyun's mouth were tightly pursed, not only worried about Master Guozhi's injury, but also resentful of why he hurt people, and he faintly regretted it in his heart, but he didn't want to think about it in this regard, his heart was in a mess, but his steps became faster and faster, and he went to Master Guohui.
The courtyard was quiet, but there were seven or eight nuns standing under the eaves, all looking anxious.
Seeing Fu Tingyun, they all bowed, and several elderly nuns thanked her softly: "...... Let Miss Nine drag her feet! β
"Masters don't have to be polite." Fu Tingyun also lowered his voice and exchanged a few words with them, and immediately said, "What happened to Master Guozhi's injury?" β
"I don't know yet!" A nun sighed, "When we went, we saw Uncle Shi lying on his back on the ground, already unconscious, and Wei Tuo lifted the curtain like an incense case to the side, revealing the entrance to the cellar......"
As she was talking, Master Guohui's soft and serious voice came from the room: "Who is outside?" β
The nun immediately stopped the topic and said respectfully, "It's the ninth miss of the Fu family." I heard that my uncle was injured, so I came to visit. β
Before the words fell, the door squeaked open, and Master Guohui appeared at the door.
"It turned out to be Miss Nine!" She looked kind, but she couldn't hide the worry between her eyebrows, "Senior sister was just knocked unconscious, it's not a big deal, she has woken up." She said and invited Fu Tingyun into the house.
Fu Tingyun heard a sound of relief - the nuns waiting under the eaves breathed a sigh of relief.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
I don't know why, but there is still a faint joy in my heart.
There was no one else in the room, and Master Guozhi had already woken up as Master Hui said, and was leaning on the big pillow at the head of Luohan's bed and touching his head.
Master Guo Hui explained: "She was hit on the head with a stick. β
Master Guozhi had already greeted Fu Tingyun: "Miss Nine is here!" So saying, he got up.
"Lie down and rest, lie down and rest!" Fu Tingyun stepped forward to stop, "Recuperation is big!" If the master is so polite, I think I'd better go! β
Master Guohui listened and said: "Miss Nine is a straightforward person, so you don't need to be formalβyour injury, it's best not to move!" The last sentence was for Fu Tingyun. In the final analysis, I am still afraid that Fu Tingyun will feel that Guo Zhi has lost his manners.
Master Guozhi didn't insist anymore, confessed his guilt, and still leaned on the big pillow.
The little nun brought tea up.
Chen's mother, who heard the movement, also rushed over.
Everyone was polite and sat down in different places, Master Guohui looked upright, and said solemnly: "Since the last time there was a theft in the kitchen, my sister and I have been paying attention, and often take a few apprentices to inspect the nunnery. Today is also a coincidence, the junior sister has finished the inspection, thinking that the weather is dry these days, and there are still a few lanterns lit in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, I am a little uneasy, I want to go in to see, who knows that as soon as I entered, I saw more than a dozen ragged men from under the incense case of the statue of Wei Tuo. The younger sister knew that something was wrong, and just wanted to run out to call someone, but the sentry man hit her with a stick from behind, and the person immediately fainted, and more than half of the grain in the cellar was also stolen. She said and looked at Chen's mother, "I think, let's report to the official!" β
"Report to the officer!" Fu Tingyun and Chen's mother were stunned.
"That's right, report to the officer!" Master Guohui's expression was solemn, "The kitchen has been burglarized once last time, and most of the thieves this time are in the same group as last time, even if they are not in the same group, they must have something to do with it." Otherwise, I wouldn't have been so familiar with the situation in the nunnery. And there were more than a dozen people, most of whom were homeless. Being targeted by them is like provoking locusts, and if they don't sweep away everything that Biyunan can eat, they won't give up. Will come back for sure. Biyun Nunnery is located in the middle of nowhere, in case ...... There is not even a rescuer, if there is a mistake in the house, I will be to blame! β
Fu Tingyun hopes that Master Guohui can report to the official. In this way, the Fu family had to take her back.
She didn't make a sound.
Mother Chen looked very hesitant, and said after a while: "I think, this matter is better to discuss our eldest master!" If you want to report to the official, you have to say hello to the old man. β
"That's fine." Master Guohui thought for a moment and said, "Just ask the eldest master to give us some rice and noodles - the grain shops in the city have said that there is no food, and now we can't buy food with money." He saluted Chen's mother, "Then there will be a bow from Lao Chen's mother." β
"I'll bring it if the master says it!" Mother Chen asked about Master Guozhi's injury, sat idle for a while, and got up to say goodbye: "While it's still early, I'll arrange for someone to go back and say something." β
When Fu Tingyun saw it, he also took his leave: "Since Master Guozhi's injury is going to be recuperated, I won't bother it." I'll come back to see you when you're better. β
Master Guozhi said some words of thanks, and Master Guohui sent the two out of the courtyard and back to the house.
Inside the house, the little nun was about to clean up the teacup.
Master Guozhi sent the little nun down and asked Master Guohui: "Senior sister, you asked me to pretend to be injured by the homeless people by stealing the grain, and you have to report to the official, do you want to drive the Fu family's people away?" β
Guo Hui nodded, and his charitable face turned cold, looking a little cold: "Haven't you seen it yet?" The Fu family wants to act through our nunnery! β
The girl in the fifth room is being guarded by the big house, how can she not see it?
Master Guozhi hesitated: "After all, we have been supported by the Fu family for all these years...... Something is wrong! β
The corners of Master Guohui's mouth were slightly twitching, and he wanted to say something, but someone knocked on the door: "Master Guohui, I'm Mother Chen!" β
Calculating the time, she should have broken up with Miss Nine and turned around again.
What is she here for?
The two exchanged glances.
Master Guohui went and opened the door.
"Nunnery Master," Mother Chen and Master Guohui spoke in the inner room, "Today is the second day of the seventh month, right?" A few days ago, our eldest wife had someone bring a letter to us, saying that we would definitely return home before the fourth day of the seventh month. Two days at most. In my opinion, the owner of the nunnery might as well wait for two more days! β
Go home!
How to get back?
Is it everyone going back together?
Or is it just that Chen's mother brought a few people back?
The room was as quiet as a pool of stagnant water.
