Chapter 17: The Mist

Fu Tingyun cowered in the corner of the bed like a wounded kitten.

Zhao Jiuye looked a little unbearable, and said, "You have just recovered from a serious illness, so you can rest." I'll have lunch for you ......"

Before he finished speaking, Fu Tingyun had already jumped up: "Ninth Master, please send me back to Huayin." I don't want to go to Weinan. ”

Zhao Jiuye couldn't help frowning: "Since Ling Tang arranged for you to go to Weinan, there must have been all the arrangements." Why live up to Lingtang's hard work? Wouldn't it be better for me to go first for the time being, if there is anything to do, your uncle and aunt can also take care of it for you? It's better than this, which can't reach the world and the ground. ”

She didn't know!

My uncle was selected for Xiucai at a young age, and since then, he has tried many times, and his family situation has gradually become embarrassed, so he simply broke off his career and devoted himself to business. Over the years, he has made a lot of money, and he is faintly the richest man in Weinan. Even when the eldest uncle mentioned it, he was quite impressed. My uncle had four sons, no daughters, and he loved her very much, and every time he got something rare, even if his cousins didn't have it, he would definitely give her one. It would be better to entrust her to her uncle. But this time the situation was special, even her parents chose to compromise, and she was really not sure that her uncle would come forward for her......

"I'm not going to Weinan!" Fu Tingyun looked at him stubbornly with a pair of big eyes, "I can't just go to Weinan like this!" ”

When she was a child, she and her sisters played hide and seek in her grandmother's house, broke her grandmother's favorite plum bottle, and no one would admit it, and was called by her grandmother to the hall to kneel: "You are all young ladies of the Fu family, you are innocent, you are noble, how you encounter trouble, you are all like the fallen people from the streets and alleys, and you are twisted and pinched in case of trouble." It's just a broken plum bottle, so what's the matter if you admit it? It's just the compensation that should be paid, the punishment that should be punished, can't you even stand this? Since you dare to do it, you must dare to admit it. If you don't dare to admit it, don't do it. Today, I asked you sisters to kneel, not because you broke the plum bottle, but because you didn't dare to admit it, and you didn't dare to straighten your waist and be an upright person......"

Thinking of this, Fu Tingyun's eyes turned red.

"If I go to Weinan like this, then what am I?" She forcibly held back her tears and didn't let her tears fall, "Because of her affair with Zuo Junjie, she exposed the shameless ...... of committing suicide in fear of crime" But the word/woman couldn't be said anyway, she bit her lip and continued, "So like a mouse in the gutter, it was secretly disposed of!" I'm not afraid of death. At this point, I might as well die. But even if I die, I will die with dignity and innocence. I can't let Zuo Junjie's foul language keep splashing on me......"

Zhao Jiuye looked at her with some surprise, and his expression gradually became a little solemn: "Do you want to go back to confront Zuo Junjie?" ”

Fu Tingyun's tone was hesitant: "I also know that if I go back now, it will only make the Fu family a laughing stock." No matter how much resentment I have in my heart, my father, mother, brother, sister-in-law, nephew, and sisters who grew up together since childhood still have to live in the Fu family...... At the very least, let the elders in the family know......" She lowered her head, her expression a little dazed.

Zhao Jiuye sighed secretly in his heart.

"However, it's useless for you to go back to Huayin now!" He said, "A few days ago, the Fu family let out the wind, saying that Zuo Junjie was immoral after drinking, and had bad intentions towards your uncle's concubine, and your uncle's concubine was humiliated and died by herself. The Fu family reported to the official, and the county order sent officials to Guangtao Lane to summon him, but found that Guangtao Lane was empty, and Zuo Junjie was missing. This incident has alarmed the prosecutor, reported to the Criminal Department and the Ministry of Rites, and wants to get rid of Zuo Junjie's reputation, and there should be a letter to Xi'an Mansion at the end of the month. ”

"How so?" Fu Tingyun looked at Zhao Jiuye with a shocked face.

It's not enough to sacrifice her, but also to take a concubine from the eldest uncle!

What the hell is going on?

Her mind is a mess.

First Zuo Junjie said that he had a personal affair with her like he was crazy, and then the elders of the family locked her up in Biyun Nunnery without asking her, and then Bibo disappeared, her mother was detained, she was drugged, the eldest uncle and concubine were self-ajar, and Zuo Junjie disappeared...... How did the warm and joyful Fu family become hell overnight?

She couldn't figure it out!

Things didn't have to come this far.

Zuo Junjie is a sneaky villain, the reason why he dares to act like this is that he has calculated that the people of the Fu family dare not speak out, rather than expecting his conscience to find out that the flag is silent, it is better to simply open the window and say something bright - if everyone takes an object and says that they have a personal affair with the daughter of the Fu family, then the daughter of the Fu family will not have to live at all, and the reputation of the Fu family will not become a joke! Although it is said that there will definitely be gossip at that time, it is better than being restrained by Zuo Junjie like this...... Dead one after another......

What are the scruples of the eldest uncle?

Things have reached the point where they are out of control, why do you have to tolerate Zuo Junjie again and again? He would even rather sacrifice her and sacrifice his concubine.

What is there in it that you don't know?

It's like a torn picture, no matter how you put it together, it's missing a very important piece of it, so that people can't see the true face of this painting.

The body that had just recovered a little couldn't stand Fu Tingyun's intense emotions.

She broke out in a cold sweat, but stubbornly refused to lie down and rest.

Zhao Jiuye shook his head slightly.

He couldn't even figure it out, let alone a weak woman raised in the boudoir!

"There are some things that you can't figure out, so don't think about them." He couldn't help but persuade her, "Rest and think about it, maybe you will suddenly become enlightened!" ”

Fu Tingyun pursed his lips.

"Ninth Master!" A young child's voice timidly shouted Zhao Jiuye, "I, I boiled porridge for the girl......"

The two of them followed the prestige together.

Fu Tingyun saw an eight- or nine-year-old boy, skinny but with a big head, wearing a patched short brown, holding a coarse porcelain sea bowl in one hand and a pair of chopsticks in the other, looking at her with wide eyes and curiosity. The thin wrist can't help but worry about whether he has the strength to hold the big bowl.

"Come in!" Zhao Jiuye instructed the little child, then turned his head to Fu Tingyun and said, "What do you want to do, you have to take care of your body first-eat and rest for a while, and we will leave at dusk." ”

Walk?

Going to Weinan?

The answer was a positive one, but now I can't make up my mind.

went to Weinan, accepted her mother's arrangement, and gave up her identity as the daughter of the Fu family from now on, which is tantamount to acquiescing to Zuo Junjie's groundless approach; didn't go to Weinan, Zuo Junjie ran away because he forced his uncle's concubine to death, but she, a person who had died of illness and was buried, suddenly ran out to argue with Zuo Junjie...... Didn't she slap herself in the mouth!

There was a faint rustling sound in the room.

Zhao Jiuye is gone.

The little boy carefully handed the porridge to Fu Tingyun: "Girl, I fanned it with a fan, and it wasn't hot at all." ”

When I looked closely, I realized that he was a very beautiful little boy.

Melon seed face, thin curved eyebrows, big eyes.

Fu Tingyun smiled at him kindly, pressed the porridge, and asked him softly, "What's your name?" ”

"My name is Assen!" Seeing Fu Tingyun smiling, he also laughed, his big eyes narrowed slightly, looking very cute, "This name was chosen by the Ninth Master for me, saying that I picked it up in front of the three trees, so it is called Ah Sen." As he spoke, he gestured with his feet on the ground, "The word 'Sen' in Asen is three wooden characters, written like this!" ”

Fu Tingyun was a little surprised.

She listened to his arrangement before, and thought that Ah Sen was a powerful man, and she didn't expect that Ah Sen was picked up by him.

Ah Sen's liveliness washed away the cold atmosphere just now, and Fu Tingyun's mood was much better.

"Did the Ninth Master tell you?" She asked him with a bowl and a smile, not in a hurry to eat.

"Hmm!" Ah Sen nodded, "The Ninth Master also asked me to follow his surname Zhao." My name is Zhao Sen. When he said this, he straightened his chest and looked very proud.

Fu Tingyun laughed: "Then what is the name of your ninth master?" ”

As soon as the words ......came out, Ah Sen immediately realized that he was speechless, and hurriedly covered his mouth, seeing Fu Tingyun looking at him with a smile, beautiful like a flower, which made him a little unbearable, he hesitated for a long time, took out an egg from his arms and threw it to Fu Tingyun, "This is what the Ninth Master asked me to cook for you." I'm going to boil you medicine!" Then he ran away as if he were running away.

This kid, it's so funny!

Fu Tingyun smiled brightly and lowered his head to drink porridge.

The rice is soft, glutinous, and has a sweet aftertaste in the mouth.

It is the best June snow.

Where did he get it?

Maybe she hadn't eaten for some days, although the porridge was delicious, she felt full after a few sips, and wanted to take the bowl to the kitchen, thinking that Zhao Jiuye still had many companions, she dispelled this idea again. I picked up the egg and rubbed it in my hand for a long time, and cracked the eggshell.

The egg white is smooth and tender, and the egg yolk is greasy.

It's delicious!

Fu Tingyun looked at the sunlight shining down from the roof, and suddenly felt that if time could stay in this moment forever, how much would it be!

The thought flashed through me, and I thought of the trip at dusk.

Why go at dusk? The black light is blind, what kind of road are you going? If you are arrested as an outcast, will you not be wronged?

She leaned against the head of the bed.

Should I go back to Huayin or Weinan?

There was a commotion outside, high and low farewells.

Fu Tingyun looked up and saw Ah Sen hiding next to the statue of Sakyamuni.

She smiled and beckoned to him, "Didn't you say to go and boil medicine for me?" How did you come back again? ”

Arsen stood there embarrassed, in a dilemma.

Fu Tingyun smiled: "Don't worry, I won't tell the ninth master!" ”

"I'm not afraid!" Ah Sen pouted and retorted to her, "It was the Ninth Master who asked me to watch you quietly." Say lest you can't think of anything stupid! ”

Fu Tingyun was stunned.

Arsen walked over.

Seeing the half bowl of porridge she put on the bedside, she swallowed her saliva: "You, why don't you drink porridge, are you not boiling well?" ”

Fu Tingyun thought of the first time he saw Zhao Jiuye, he was collecting food in the kitchen, and couldn't help but sit up straight, and asked Ah Sen in a low voice: "What did you eat at noon?" ”

Ah Sen avoided Fu Tingyun's gaze, patted his stomach and said, "I'm full!" I don't believe you touch my belly. ”
