In the morning of the second day, the sky had not yet come, and the mist was drifting in the valley. Last night, the moon had moved to the opposite Fang Tian. The several carriages of the Fan Mansion did not disturb anyone in the farm, and drove towards the capital. At the entrance of the small courtyard, Fujiko Jing leaned on a cane and stood with his wife leaning on the door to see them off. Beside them, the little girl was rubbing her eyes, as if she hadn't woken up.
The carriage arrived at the gate of the capital again, but this time was different from that day when it came. The markings on the carriages of the Fan Mansion were extremely eye-catching. The officers and soldiers who had just opened the gates inspected the city and let a few carriages into the city. After all, Jiao Ziheng, the former chief of the City Patrol Department, was deprived of his post because of the assassination of the eldest son of the Fan family. Now the officers and soldiers of the City Patrol Department look at the round and square marks on the Fan family's carriage and avoid it. How dare they make things difficult.
When the car arrived at Fan's mansion, Fan Sizhe yawned and got out of the car, and told the servants who came up to meet him: "There are cured goods in the car, get them in the back and put them away first, don't steal them, it's a favor prepared by the elder brother!" Then he glared and shouted: "If you catch the sister of the Lin family eating mussels tomorrow and find that the mussels only have three legs, be careful, I will chop off one of your legs to pay the debt!" The servants have long been used to this young master's domineering He has a pretty temper, dare not speak up, and honestly unloads the mountain cargo from the car.
The guards also got off the carriage at the back. Wang Qinian walked to the side of the carriage and waited for Fan Xian to come down. Unexpectedly, after a long time, he found no movement in the carriage. There was no one there, Fan Xian and Fan Ruoruo didn't know where they went. He quickly ran behind Fan Sizhe and asked, "Young master, where is Mr. Fan?"
Fan Sizhe looked back at him, and taught him a lesson: "Look at how nervous you are. My brother and sister got out of the car on the way. They are probably going on a picnic. I don't like to see you following all the time."
Wang Qinian was frightened to death. This time he was able to return to the Overwatch Council thanks to Mr. Fan. When Dean Chen Pingping met him in person, he even reminded him to ensure Mr. Fan's personal safety and not to lose sight of him. When Mr. Fan went out of the city, he secretly left his group behind. Seeing his nervous expression, Fan Sizhe frowned and said, "He said he would be back in the afternoon. You don't need to be too nervous." He actually didn't know the real identity of people like Wang Qinian. Something was wrong, but I didn't bother to think about it deeply.
Wang Qinian also ignored the second young master, winked at his subordinates, got into the carriage, and drove out of the city.
…
…
Even the sound of cicadas is a bit weak in the scorching heat of summer. Fan Xian led Ruoruo for a walk by the Liujing River in the suburbs of Beijing. Fortunately, it was still early, and the riverside was always shaded by green trees, so it was bearable. Fan Xian had already undid the cloth buttons on his lapel at this time, exposing a large area of skin on his chest, but Ruoruo didn't have such benefits, so he could only fan the wind with his handkerchief. Seeing her working hard, Fan Xian smiled slightly, took the handkerchief and soaked it in the flowing crystal river, then handed it to her to cool down.
"Do you know why this river is called Liujing River?"
"According to the records of Jingzhi, this name should have existed before this dynasty. It seems to mean that the river flows around the capital and enters Cangshan Mountain in the west. A mirror is like a still crystal, so it got the name Liujinghe."
Fan Xian nodded, thinking of a certain quiet place in the river beside him, where there are sometimes flower boats swimming on it, and thinking of that girl Si Lili who was still imprisoned in the sky prison, and he didn't know how to meet that woman in the end. What will be the result. After walking for a while, I could finally see a faint residential house among the green trees on the opposite river bank. It was a fresh and elegant small courtyard. Several bamboos protruded from the courtyard wall, standing towards the sky. There was a cold air of standing proudly in the troubled times.
"Is that the Taiping Bieyuan?" Fan Xian asked softly, frowning there.
Fan Ruoruo responded: "Yes, I heard that the owner of the Ye family lived here many years ago, and later the property of the Ye family was collected into the internal treasury, and this courtyard became a separate courtyard for the royal family. , I have never heard of any empress living here."
Fan Xian hummed, nodded, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face. It turned out that this is the place where his mother used to work, fight and live. Seeing the smile on his brother's face, Ruoruo felt very happy for some reason, and asked, "What is so happy?" Fan Xian pinched his sweaty fingers, shook his head, and said nothing. He took his sister with him today. Coming here is already a very daring thing. Although what I saw in Beijing, the Ye family doesn't seem to be such a big taboo, but since my father and Wu Zhu are so cautious, I'd better be more careful, so I didn't say it for the time being.
He came here today to take a look, mainly because he wanted to enter this courtyard to worship, but since it has become a separate courtyard of the palace, it is naturally inconvenient to go there. It's just that he doesn't know where his mother's cemetery is, which makes him feel a little uncomfortable.
After coming to this world, he had never seen the woman who gave birth to his own body, but for no reason, he recognized her as his mother in his heart. Perhaps it was because both parents died early in the previous life, and there was nothing left behind, so it was too late to develop attachment to the mother, but when they came to Qingguo, whether it was the escape at the beginning of rebirth, or everything in Danzhou, and after coming to Beijing Behind all of these wonderful encounters, it seems that behind all of these are the strength, power, and certain determination that the woman once possessed, reminding him that his mother is that woman, the woman named Ye Qingmei.
Ye Qingmei looks down on all men in the world.
Fan Xian even had a doubt, whether his mother was not dead at all, but hid in a corner far away, with a gentle but cold smile, silently watching his every move in this world, Every struggle and every relief.
But Si Nanbo interrupted all these fantasies in a very cold-blooded way, and said that his mother's cemetery is in a very hidden place in Kyoto, and if the time is right, he will naturally let him go to worship.
Fan Xian sighed, knelt down, and kowtowed to the small courtyard on the other side of the river. Fan Ruoruo was slightly taken aback, not understanding what her brother meant, but Bingxue was as smart as she was, and immediately guessed something, her face turned slightly pale with fright, but she immediately regained her composure, followed Fan Xian to her knees, and went I bowed to the other side of the river.
It is covered by green trees, so even if there are people on the other side, it must be difficult to see. There is a pair of snow-like wall people kneeling on the ground, bowing to this side from a distance. This scene is very interesting.
Fan Xian was a little surprised, took her little hand to stand up, and asked gently, "Why do you kneel with me?"
Ruoruo forced a smile: "What should I call? Auntie?"
Fan Xian chuckled and said, "I know you can guess. I didn't want to avoid you when I brought you here today. There are some things that only I know and can't talk about. It's really depressing."
Fan Ruoruo sighed: "No wonder my brother lived in Danzhou when I was young."
Fan Xian said: "I only know that my mother is from the Ye family. Didn't you hear your father or Aunt Liu mention this when you were young?"
Fan Ruoruo thought for a while, then shook her head helplessly. Fan Xian sighed, guessing that it was probably because the palace hated the Ye family's descendants, so his father kept it a secret, but...with the power of the court, if Si Nanbo had something to do with the mistress of the Ye family, How could this kind of relationship escape the attention of the palace? Unless the Overwatch Council has been hiding it for her father, no matter how much Chen Pingping respects her mother and wants to save her own life, she should not be able to hide this matter completely.
All kinds of puzzles came to his mind, which made him extremely annoyed. It doesn't matter if you are a child without a mother, but you start to doubt the other part. This kind of psychological trend is really quite unpleasant.
※※※
The two brothers and sisters did not dare to get too close to the courtyard, walked through the forest to the official road, and walked along the road to the direction of Kyoto, planning to go further and find a post shop to ask Xiaoer to pull a carriage. After walking not far, I found a small road leading to the left on the official road. A step away, there was a bluestone hidden in the grass with moss growing on it. It was extremely difficult to find. It looked quite unique, and there should be few people there. walk around.
Fan Xian's eyesight was excellent, and he could see a small wooden bridge at the end of the path, presumably leading to the Taiping Courtyard. He couldn't help but sighed deep in his heart, turned his eyes forcibly, and said with a smile, "The handkerchief is already dry. Won't it be too hot?"
Fan Ruoruo's brows always had a seemingly irreversible coldness, but she didn't feel this way in front of Fan Xian. At this time, beads of sweat oozed from the black hair on her forehead, and slowly dripped down on her reddish cheeks. Ping added a bit of brilliance, but Fan Xian was slightly taken aback. She softly replied that it was okay, and continued walking forward with her brother.
After walking not far, they came to a tea shop. The shop was made entirely of green bamboo, and it was cool and cool due to the wind and shade. Fan Xian was delighted at the sight, took his sister's hand and rushed in, shouting, "Two cups of tea."
He was answered by a gloomy silence. There were not many people in the tea shop. A middle-aged man was standing by the table in the back. After hearing Fan Xian's voice, he looked back slowly. Although Eagle Hook is full of viciousness, but today it seems to restrain itself. The middle-aged man looked at Fan Xian very unkindly, as if he saw a certain little white rabbit.
Fan Xian was shocked, and recognized that the other party was the leader of the guards who slapped him outside the Qing Temple, causing him to vomit blood, Mr. Gong Dian. Wang Qinian was kicked out of the Overwatch Council because the other party has been trying to catch him!
