Chapter 10 Chapter 10
While they were talking in the backyard, Zhao Xingtai, who came out of the kitchen with dishes, accidentally glanced at him. When he saw clearly who was standing in the courtyard, he couldn't help but be stunned, "Young Master Liu Wu?"
There are countless wealthy businessmen in Yangzhou, and the Liu family is one of the best. Although Tai'an Restaurant has declined, Zhao Xingtai still knows all the people he should know.
For example, the current person is Liu Wulang from the Liu family in Yangzhou.
When someone called him, Liu Fuyun looked at him and didn't remember who was dressed in a choreographed suit.
Fortunately, the follower beside him recognized Zhao Xingtai and whispered in his ear before he could remember it.
"Why are you here?" Liu Fuyun frowned. He remembered that although Tai'an Restaurant was not as good as before, even the eldest grandson in the family would have fallen to the point of washing dishes for people.
"I'll learn from my master." Zhao Xingtai said. Although the two have some differences in status, their attitude is neither humble nor arrogant.
"Learn from here?"
"yes."
"That happens, tell me, this restaurant really has a woman wearing black clothes and black hats every day?" Liu Fuyun asked in his eyes. Although he had just reached the crown, his momentum was already quite good.
"Yes." Zhao Xingtai answered very naturally, mainly because the guest was really impressive, "but it can't be said every day, and I'll come here every few days."
"Then do you know where to find her?" Liu Fuyun asked again.
Compared to the people in this restaurant, he believes more in Zhao Xingtai, the person he knows.
"I..." Zhao Xingtai seemed to have a stuck shell, and then quickly said: "You can find it by going to Fangjia Village."
"Fangjia Village?" Liu Fuyun put the place name in his mouth and chewed it. Without saying a word, he turned around and left.
The shopkeeper Jiang next to him didn't dare to stop him, and the guy outside called her, so she had to look at Zhao Xingtai and hurried to the lobby.
However, Zhao Xingtai felt that he had only been in a daze for a moment. When he woke up, he found that Liu Wu and the shopkeeper in the yard had already left.
"What's going on? Where is the person?" He doubted himself, finally shook his head, and decided not to think about it anymore and went to wash the dishes.
...
The county town is some roads away from Fangjia Village. Generally, adults have to walk for a whole morning, but Liu Fuyun and the others come by horses, which is much faster. By dusk, they will arrive in Fangjia Village.
After inquiring around Fangjia Village, everyone asked him to go to Fang Er directly.
"If you don't decide when you encounter something, ask Fang Er."
"Fang Er can understand ghosts and gods, so it's absolutely right to look for him if you have any questions."
So Liu Fuyun came to Fang Er's house with a try attitude. Fang Eryi heard his description and said, "Okay, he led him up the mountain."
Liu Fuyun looked at the barren mountain with wild grass in front of him, and his eyes were as heavy as dark clouds, "What does she live in this place?"
Fang Er thought he was asking Master Fu Guan, and continued: "Yes. This is a bit off, but it is also a good place with beautiful mountains and rivers."
Liu Fuyun looked at this "place with beautiful mountains and rivers" in the distance, and his face became even more ugly.
The group walked up the mountain quickly, and not long after, a Taoist temple standing in the ruins appeared in front of Liu Fuyun.
Taoist temple?
Before Liu Fuyun could ask why it was a Taoist temple, Fang Er had already started chatting with Carpenter He who was still working.
"The kitchen is completed so soon?"
"If you don't hurry up, it will be hard to do work when it gets cold." Carpenter He said as he looked at the strange faces behind Fang Er, "Is this a visitor here?"
"right."
"It doesn't look like an ordinary person." There are followers behind him, and they are still wearing weapons.
"No, but it's useless in front of Master Fu Guan." Fang Erdao. How could mortal weapons work for ghosts and gods?
"That's right." Carpenter He smiled.
While the two were chatting, Liu Fuyun had already led his entourage into the Taoist temple first. After he walked around inside, he came out and asked Fang Er: "Didn't you say she is on the mountain?"
Fang Er immediately pointed to the sun in the sky, "I'll see it soon."
As the words came, the golden crow had already sunk to the west, and the light and darkness met at this moment, and the vast earth instantly changed the world.
In the Taoist temple, Dalang walked out of it at this time. First, the other party greeted Carpenter He, and then he said to him with Liu Fuyun's dazed gaze: "This young master, the master of the temple inside is welcome."
Liu Fuyun thought he had a lot of knowledge, but now when he saw this young man in a white look, he felt that there was a misunderstanding.
He came to find Sanniang. If it was reasonable to say that Sanniang was so depressed that she lived in the Taoist temple, what would happen if a ghost-like person suddenly came out of the empty Taoist temple?
But he was so calm that he raised his legs and walked into the Taoist temple.
What's going on? Just ask the so-called observer.
After entering the door, Sanqing seemed to be playing chess with two women behind him. One was facing away from him, and he couldn't see his face. The other was dressed in black and had a black hat on his head. This outfit was exactly the same as what the shopkeeper of the restaurant said.
He hesitated for a moment and tentatively said, "Sanniang?"
Fu Yao dropped the chess piece in his hand, looked up at him and said, "Cousin Liu's family."
When Liu Fuyun heard this voice, his eyes suddenly became sharp, "You are not Sanniang, who are you!"
"The Liu cousin came to me, but he didn't even know who I was. This was a bit rude." Fu Yao said.
Liu Fuyun would not consider these things now. "The shopkeeper of Jiangyue Restaurant said that this jade pendant was for her. Why did you have my cousin's jade pendant?"
This jade pendant was a gift made of warm jade when Sanniang was fifteen years old and when he was in the palace. It also carved with small characters from Sanniang in a guise. There was only one in the world, and he would never admit his mistake.
"Cousin? This is really strange. Fu San has been missing for nearly three or four months. Why did you, the cousin, come to find? Are the Fu family dead?" Fu Yao said this last sentence lightly, but Liu Fuyun could imagine the sneer at the corner of her mouth.
"Who are you?" Liu Fuyun lost his aggressive momentum this time. He vaguely felt that the person on the other side was not simple.
"I haven't told you just now that I am the master of this Taoist temple." Fu Yao said.
"I'm here to find someone." Liu Fuyun tried to slow down his tone. "Listen to the tone of your opinion, I think you should know my cousin. I wonder if you can take me to see her?"
"I want to see her, okay." Fu Yao agreed, "But before that, there was a small doubt, you have to answer it for me. Why has the Fu family ignored her whereabouts for so long?"
This time, Liu Fuyun finally knew something was wrong.
"Statistician, did you say before that Sanniang has been lost for three or four months?"
"Otherwise?" Then Fu Yao said again, "Well, is there any hidden truth behind this?"
Liu Fuyun is not a fool. He has already thought of a lot in the flash of lightning.
The jade pendant in the palm of his palm was still gentle, but his fingers were tightened involuntarily, "In the August provincial examination, I was not in the mansion. I was still home half a month ago and learned about Sanniang. They said that Sanniang was elopement with the scholar on her way to visit her relatives. The Duke of Ding from the capital was furious and declared to the public that Sanniang died of illness and would never recognize Sanniang as her granddaughter in the future."
He didn't believe that the dignified and quiet Sanniang would do such a thing, and only then did she find out here from Yangzhou to get news.
"Oh, no wonder." Fu Yao suddenly realized, "No wonder. I said, why did a daughter disappear? They can ignore it. It turns out that all the dirty water was poured on. It's not that Duke Ding was old, but he would be better off with face. It's normal that he would be so confused. However, it is said that Sanniang has a fiancé, so how should they handle their marriage?"
Speaking of that future brother-in-law, although Liu Fuyun had a estrangement, he was respectful in his eyes. "Brother Qi is a person with a clear relationship and did not take his anger for this. The Duke Dingguo Mansion asked him to get engaged to Wu Niang again and get married in May next year."
"That's really affectionate and loyal." Fu Yao smiled, "Aren't you going to see your cousin? There is a wooden box in front of the Sanqing statue, and you take it away. This year, you took the provincial examination, and now you should be a juren. In other words, you will take the exam next year. After you high school, you will hand the box to Fu Shishang, and Fu San will show up after that. But you must remember that you must not open this box before this, otherwise you will never see her in your life. Do you remember what I said?"
What Liu Fuyun wanted was not the answer. He wanted to say, "Are you playing tricks on me?", but his legs were out of control and walked automatically towards the Sanqing statue.
This strange encounter made his hair stand on his back. When he came to his senses, the man was already standing in front of the Sanqing statue.
There was indeed a one-foot-high wooden box in the altar there. Under the candlelight, the tung oil on the box was still shining with a faint luster.
He looked inside and saw that the two people who were still playing chess have disappeared now.
Finally, he held the box in his hand.
After coming out of the Taoist temple, the follower hurriedly came up to greet him and said, "Young Master, are you okay?"
They just wanted to follow in, but were stopped by the boy. The boy looked weak, but he was as powerful as a cow, and he forced them to control them and prevented them from getting closer.
What happened just now made Liu Fuyun a little incredible. He looked at the box in his arms, and his eyes finally fell on Fang Er who was still chatting with Carpenter He.
"The person you brought me to find just now is the master of the spectator?" he walked to Fang Er and asked.
Fang Er was stunned and asked back, "Aren't you here to find our viewer?"
Liu Fuyun looked at him for a while and raised his chin toward the entourage, "Go and prepare a table of wine and food to deliver it. I will work with this elder brother Fang tonight without getting drunk."
The follower was busy, and Fang Er was kept for no reason.
At this time, Fu Yao looked at Sanniang who was blind in front of her, and while paying attention to whether she would cry, she said, "You don't want the fact that Liu's surname is Zhanshou affects his career, and I have come as you ask. If you still feel sad, you can cry. I have never thought that Guixue is a thing. Don't you want to make money for me to resurrection? Otherwise, you will cry ten or eight times a day, and a year later, I promise to reincarnate you at the home of any person you want to reincarnate."
