Chapter 13 Different Dreams
His questions reminded Fu Tingyun of Chen's mother's words again, "Flies do not bite seamless eggs." She felt a little embarrassed, and lowered her eyes, and her fingers like a green onion tube rubbed the camellia on the teacup. She didn't notice that the person opposite suddenly turned his face and picked up the empty teacup at his hand and was about to hand it in her mouth. However, when she found that the teacup was empty, a hint of embarrassment flashed across her face.
Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere seemed a bit dull in the half-light and half-dark room.
This is not a way to entertain guests.
Fu Tingyun thought about it, remembering the medicine in the mourning cabinet, and stood up: "I have already got the medicine you want!" While saying that, he opened the mourning cabinet.
Two porcelain bottles, one red and one green, are placed side by side, with clear colors and very eye-catching.
She had a moment of hesitation.
He had no reservations about himself. Should she be more open and give him all the medicine in the cage?
I felt a little uneasy again.
Forget it, it would be bad if he could see his thoughts at this time.
Thinking of this, she took the medicine, turned around and placed it on the coffee table: "Apply the green flowers on the outside, use the red flowers on the inside..." She roughly explained the usage.
He didn't ask much and put two bottles of medicine in his arms.
"Then I'll leave first." His expression was calm, "I will only have time to enter the city tomorrow afternoon, and I will come back the day after tomorrow!"
Why until tomorrow afternoon?
The thought flashed, and Fu Tingyun immediately understood.
He is going to go to the granary to steal grain!
Biyun Temple is the Fu family's family temple, but she acted as his supporter. This was not a glorious thing. She pretended not to know, and replied softly, watching his figure disappear from the roof.

Early the next morning, Fu Tingyun went to Hanyan's place.
Han Yan said straight: "I am already ready. I don't need Lu'e to take care of you. Let her go back and serve you!"
Green Calyx nodded aside.
"Why do you let those mothers have nothing to do after dinner every day? You run around and keep busy?" Fu Tingyun waved his hand disapprovingly, "You can rest! You are afraid that there are no people around me." He said, "But it's boring to be with them every day. Anyway, you can't go anywhere if you hurt your feet. Let's talk!" Let Lu'e go to make a pot of tea and find a few snacks.
Since he said he would only have time to enter the city in the afternoon, he would probably come to steal food in the morning or at noon, or he would still hold the two little maids in the house so that he would not be caught running around and being caught, and something might happen.
Han Yan and Lu'e came to serve Fu Tingyun, and they also served him while talking. Not only did they have no objections, but they were also very excited.
"Where are there any good tea or snacks here?" Lu'e said hurriedly, "I'll go to your house to get some tea leaves, and then go to the kitchen to see what ingredients are there. I'll make a pantry of snacks. You can wait."
Of course Fu Tingyun couldn't let her go.
"Any tea is fine, and it doesn't matter if you don't have snacks." She sat on the little mat in front of the bed, "The weather is so hot, don't mess around. When you have everything ready, it's time to have lunch. I just don't want to see those mothers."
Lu'e smiled and went to prepare refreshments. Fu Tingyun asked about the family affairs of the two, and then brought up the trivial topics of the three aunts and aunts who were familiar with each other. It was noon soon.
No movement!
In other words, things are scheduled at noon...
Fu Tingyun refused to let the two of them go out. He asked the maid to bring lunch in, ate at Hanyan's place, and squeezed into Hanyan's bed to rest in the morning.
Lu'e was busy playing the fan, so naturally she didn't dare to leave for a moment.
While having tea in the afternoon, a noise came from the west.
Lu'e was about to go and see it, but Fu Tingyun was dragged by Fu Tingyun: "What do you care about so much? The sky has fallen and Mom Chen." Lu'e thought about it, but it was getting noisy there. Fu Tingyun couldn't help but think in her heart, did that guy steal all the food? He couldn't sit still. When Lu'e proposed to go and see it again, she did not stop: "Be careful. Don't just watch the fun and put yourself in."
"Miss Jiu, don't worry, I can save it." Lu'e promised and left the door of the wing.
After a while, he ran back with a panic look.
"Miss Nine, it's bad, it's bad!" She panted, "Someone ran to the nunnery and not only stole the food hidden in the Main Hall, but also injured Master Guozhi!"
"How could this happen!" Fu Tingyun's expression tightened, she stood up and walked out.
Lu'e hurriedly followed and said, "Master Guohui has already heard the sound and carried Master Guozhi to Qibaotang."
Qibao Hall is the residence of Master Guohui, the host of Biyun Temple.
Fu Tingyun's lips were pursed tightly, worried about Master Guozhi's injuries, and resented him for hurting others. He felt a little regretful, but he was unwilling to think about it carefully. His heart was messy, but his steps became faster and faster. He went to Master Guohui's place.
The yard was quiet, but seven or eight nuns stood under the eaves, all of whom were anxious.
Seeing Fu Tingyun, they all bowed together, and a few older nuns even thanked her softly: "... Let Miss Jiu drag it down!"
"Masters don't have to be too polite." Fu Tingyun also made a light voice and greeted them for a few words, and immediately said, "How is Master Guozhi's injury?"
"I don't know yet!" A nun sighed, "When we went, we saw the uncle lying on the ground on his back, and he was already unconscious. Wei Tuo was lifted to the side like a curtain of an incense table, revealing the entrance to the cellar..."
As she was talking, Master Guohui's gentle and serious voice came from the wing room: "Who is outside?"
The nun immediately stopped the topic and said respectfully: "It's Miss Ninth from the Fu family. I heard that the uncle of the master was injured, so I came here to visit him."
Before he finished speaking, the door opened with a creaking sound, and Master Guohui appeared at the door.
"So it's Miss Jiu!" She looked kind, but she couldn't hide the worry between her eyebrows. "The junior sister was just beaten out. It was nothing serious and she had woken up." She said, and asked Fu Tingyun to enter the house.
Fu Tingyun heard the sound of relaxing breaths - the nuns waiting under the eaves breathed a sigh of relief.
She also breathed a sigh of relief.
I don’t know why, but I still feel a little happy in my heart.
There was no one else in the room. Master Guozhi, who had woken up as Master Guoru Hui said, was leaning against the big pillow at the head of the Arhat's bed and touching his head.
Master Guohui explained: "She was hit on the head with a stick."
Master Guozhi had already greeted Fu Tingyun: "Miss Jiu is here!" As he said that, he was about to get up.
"Lying down and rest, lying down and rest!" Fu Tingyun stepped forward to stop, "It's a big deal to recover from the injury! If the master is so polite, I think I'll leave!"
Master Guohui heard this and said, "Miss Jiu is a straightforward person, so you don't have to be polite - your injury is better not to move around!" The last sentence was for Fu Tingyun. After all, I was afraid that Fu Tingyun would feel that Guo Zhi had lost his etiquette.
Master Guozhi stopped insisting and claimed his guilt, but still leaned on the pillow.
The little nun brought tea to him.
Mother Chen, who heard the movement, also rushed over.
Everyone was polite and sat down accordingly. Master Guohui looked upright and said solemnly: "Since the last time the kitchen was stolen, my junior sister and I have been careful and often patrolled the nunnery with a few apprentices. Today is a coincidence. My junior sister had already finished patrolling. Thinking that the weather was dry these days, there were still a few eternal lights on the main hall, and I was a little worried. I wanted to go in and take a look. Who knew that as soon as I entered, I saw a dozen ragged men crawling out from under the incense table of Wei Tuo. The junior sister knew that something was wrong, and was about to run out to call someone, but the person who was left on the watch made a stick from behind. The person fainted immediately, and most of the food in the cellar was stolen." She said, looking at Mom Chen, "I think I'd better report to the official!"
"Report to the official!" Fu Tingyun and Chen's mother were both stunned.
"Yes, report to the official!" Master Guohui's expression was solemn. "The kitchen was stolen once last time. Most of the thieves this time were in the same group as last time. Even if they were not in the same group, they would have something to do. Otherwise, they would not be so familiar with the situation in the temple. Moreover, there were more than a dozen people, most of them were refugees. Being targeted by them was like a locust. They would not give up without sweeping all the food that Biyun Temple could eat. They would definitely come again. Biyun Temple is located in a remote place. If there is no one to rescue, if there is a mistake in the mansion, I will be responsible for my death!"
Fu Tingyun hoped that Master Guohui could report to the official position. In this way, the Fu family had to take her back.
She didn't make any noise.
Mother Chen seemed very hesitant and said for a while: "I think it's better to discuss this matter with our master! Even if you want to report to the official, you have to report to the master."
"It's good." Master Guohui thought for a while and said, "I just asked the master to donate some rice and flour to us-the grain shops in the city said there was no food, and now I can't buy food with money." He gave a gift to Mrs. Chen, "Then I'll have a good time. Mother Chen reported."
"I will definitely bring you the master's words!" Chen's mother asked Master Guozhi's injuries. She sat down for a while and stood up to say goodbye: "While it was still early, I'll arrange for someone to go back and say something."
When Fu Tingyun saw this, he also said goodbye: "Since Master Guozhi's injury is about to rest, I won't disturb you anymore. I will come to see you when you get better."
Master Guozhi said something thankful, and Master Guohui sent the two out of the yard and back to the house.
In the room, the little nun was about to pack up the teacup.
Master Guozhi sent the little nun down and asked Master Guohui: "Senior sister, you were stolen from the food and asked me to pretend to be injured by a refugee, and you also want to report to the official. Do you want to drive the Fu family away?"
Guohui nodded, and her charitable face became cold and looked a little cold: "Don't you see it yet? The Fu family is going to do things through our temple!"
The girl in the fifth room was being looked after by the big room, how could she not see it?
Master Guozhi hesitated and said, "After all, we have been supported by the Fu family for many years... it's a bit inappropriate!"
Master Guohui's mouth slightly squinted, and he wanted to say something, but someone knocked on the door: "Master Guohui, I am Mother Chen!"
Calculate the time, she should have broken up with Miss Jiu and then turned around again.
What did she do?
The two exchanged glances.
Master Guohui went to open the door.
"Master Chen," said Mrs. Chen and Master Guohui 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. We will definitely go home before the fourth day of the seventh month. We will wait for two days at most. I think, the master is better off waiting for two more days!"
Go home!
How to reply?
Are you going back together?
Or just how many people did Chen’s mother bring back?
The room was as quiet as a pool of stagnant water.
