Regarding Yun Ruoyan's request to worship Guanyin, Qin Jianmei showed a look of embarrassment, but said in her mouth: "Second Miss is not a Buddhist believer, why did you think of worshiping Guanyin here today?"
Yun Ruoyan smiled and said, "I also don't worship the Buddha on weekdays, and just hug the Buddha's feet temporarily."
"Second Miss, what do you say?" Qin Jian asked with a smile, "What's the purpose of hugging Buddha's feet temporarily?"
"Aunt Qin doesn't know that I have been selected by Kongming Academy to participate in the abnormal trial, and I will leave soon."
Yun Ruoyan sighed slightly: "It's extremely dangerous to go, that's why I suddenly thought of coming to my aunt's place to hug the Buddhist feet temporarily. The Avalokitesvara that my aunt has worshiped for more than ten years must be very spiritual."
Yun Ruoyan walked around Qin Jianmei as she said that, and walked quickly towards the West House.
Qin Jianmei and Yun Ruoyu looked at each other, and hurriedly followed Yun Ruoyan towards the west room.
When Yun Ruoyan reached the door, she pushed open the small wooden door without waiting for Qin Jianmei to reach out.
A more intense strange fragrance hit her nostrils, Yun Ruoyan frowned involuntarily, and covered her mouth and nose with her hands.
Qin Jianmei's mother and daughter were also around Yun Ruoyan at this time, but seeing that the door had already been opened by Yun Ruoyan, there was no time to stop her.
Yun Ruoyan fanned the lingering smoke in front of her eyes with her hands, her eyes adapted to the darkness, and a dark hut gradually appeared in front of her eyes.
On the west wall of the room is a long table, on which there is a statue of Guanyin, and sandalwood is burning in the incense burner in front of Guanyin.
A little smoke enveloped the Guanyin, making the Guanyin look illusory and unreal.
"My room is located in a shady place, and the light in the room is not very good. I'm afraid Second Miss won't be used to it. Let's talk in the living room." Qin Jianmei said softly from the side, as if she was afraid that the loud voice would scare someone.
"That's right, Sister Ruoyan, the fire in the living room is already burning, and the tea and snacks should be almost ready, let's talk in the living room." Yun Ruoyu also persuaded.
"Since we have all seen the Bodhisattva, there is no reason not to worship." Yun Ruoyan smiled slightly and stepped into the room.
Yun Ruoyan walked up to Guanyin, and there were two futons in front of the table, one new and one old.
The old one is placed in the middle, it is badly worn and should belong to Qin Jianmei, and the new one should be used by Yun Ruoyu.
"Second miss, here it is." Qin Jianmei walked over and lit two sticks of sandalwood and handed them to Yun Ruoyan. Yun Ruoyan knelt down on the old futon and kowtowed twice, then took the sandalwood Qin Jianmei handed over and bowed. .
Just as she was about to go forward with the sandalwood, Qin Jianmei stretched out her hand and said to Yun Ruoyan, "Second Miss, let me come."
Yun Ruoyan handed the sandalwood in her hand to Qin Jianmei, who took it and walked to the incense burner and inserted it respectfully.
"Okay, Second Miss, let's go out." Qin Jianmei turned her head and smiled at Yun Ruoyan.
Yun Ruoyan was in a daze for some reason, feeling that Qin Jianmei's face had suddenly changed into that of Guanyin surrounded by smoke.
It was just a daze, and after realizing it, Qin Jianmei was still Qin Jianmei, with a face that was not made up but still clear and beautiful.
It's just that this beautiful face, in the dark shadow, has some strange feelings that Yun Ruoyan can't describe.
"Second Miss, what's wrong with you?" Qin Jianmei walked up to Yun Ruoyan and asked.
"Oh, nothing, let's go out." Yun Ruoyan said.
The three of them went out of the west room and went directly to the living room, had some refreshments and talked, and soon it was noon, Qin Jianmei stayed with Yun Ruoyan for lunch, Yun Ruoyan didn't stay when she thought about Yun Moxiao's situation Down.
When Yun Ruoyan brought Ling Lan back to Tinglan Garden, Yun Moxiao just arrived, and the two met at the gate of Tinglan Garden.
"Brother, what's the matter, is there any news?" Yun Ruoyan saw Yun Moxiao hurrying, and her eyes were bright when she saw her, so she asked.
"Yes, I got a very important message from an old servant, let's go in and talk about it." Yun Moxiao said to Yun Ruoyan.
The two brothers and sisters entered the house and sat opposite each other. Yun Ruoyan couldn't wait to ask Yun Moxiao.
"Brother, what important information did you get, tell me quickly." Yun Ruoyan asked while pouring tea for Yun Moxiao.
Yun Moxiao took the tea that Yun Ruoyan handed over, took a hasty sip, and said, "Ruoyan, do you still remember Lao Cha?"
"Old Cha?" Yun Ruoyan thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "I don't remember, what happened to him?"
"He served in his mother's Youth Garden more than ten years ago."
Yun Moxiao put down the water cup in his hand, leaned forward, and said to Yun Ruoyan: "I have investigated all the old people in the mansion. They are not familiar with mother and Fanghua Garden. Lao Zha, who does rough work, I learned yesterday that he has returned to his hometown for the elderly, so I rushed to his hometown overnight, and then I learned an important piece of information from him."
"What information?" Yun Ruoyan hurriedly asked.
"Old Cha told me that when my mother suddenly contracted a serious disease, my father had invited famous doctors in the imperial city, but none of them worked. But one day, a wandering doctor was introduced to Fanghua Garden to treat my mother. Ill." Yun Moxiao spoke so quickly that his mouth became dry after he finished speaking, and he poured another pot of water to drink.
"Then what happened next?" Yun Ruoyan asked again.
"Old Zha said that Lang Youfang is indeed quite capable. After taking a few doses of his medicine, my mother's condition did improve, so from then on that doctor specialized in treating her mother."
Yun Moxiao continued: "To thank this wandering doctor, my father even opened a clinic for him in the imperial city. But..."
Yun Moxiao's tone changed, and his expression darkened.
"But my mother's condition didn't improve for a long time, and then took a sharp turn for the worse. Later, the wandering doctor was helpless, and my mother began to fester all over her body, and she passed away soon. Lao Zha said that because of the strange death of his mother, on the one hand, the Yunfu wanted to avoid being idle. Gossip, and on the one hand, he was afraid that his mother might have some contagious disease, so he hurriedly buried her."
After Yun Moxiao finished speaking, the siblings fell silent, and both of them couldn't help recalling the tragic state of Lin Yuemei's illness back then.
"I was only less than five years old, but I still have memories. When my mother was in better condition, my father would take the two of us to Fanghua Garden to see my mother. My mother could still talk to me through the curtain, but After my mother became seriously ill, I never entered Fanghua Garden. At that time, I was sent to the mansion of my master, General Huang, to practice with him. When my mother was there, she often took me home. I rarely go home." Yun Moxiao sighed.
Yun Ruoyan had no impression of this memory, she was just a baby at that time after all.
She only remembered that she had no mother since she became sensible, and she only saw her brother once or twice a year. Later, Yun Moxiao went to the military camp with General Huang, and she could only see Yun Moxiao once in a few years.
Thinking about Yun Ruoyan's thoughts, she couldn't help but return to that period, the unbearable past life that she had almost forgotten.
Poisoned hair and disfigured, regressed cultivation base, humiliated on the trial stage, kicked out of the family academy, snubbed by Yunlan, bullied by brothers and sisters, deceived by scumbags, and finally the family was ruined and died with hatred...
"Ruoyan, you don't need to be too sad. Didn't your grandfather tell you that the one buried in the grave is not your mother at all, and the mother is probably still alive. No, the mother must be alive!"
Seeing Yun Ruoyan's suddenly sad face, Yun Moxiao comforted her.
Yun Ruoyan closed her eyes, pulled her thoughts back forcibly, and discarded those past memories to the corner of her mind again.
When she opened her eyes again, her eyes were unusually clear.
"Yes, our mother must still be alive!" Yun Ruoyan said.
"But how did mother save her life, and why did she feign death?" Yun Moxiao felt that he was shrouded in so much fog that he couldn't grasp a clue.
"Ruoyan, do you think father knows about mother's fake death?"
"We already discussed this issue at my grandfather's place that day." Yun Ruoyan said: "Judging from his father's performance over the years, it is impossible for him to know that his mother is not dead."
"But why did mother fake her death without telling father?" Yun Moxiao was even more puzzled.
"Father and mother have such a good relationship, why did mother leave, and she doesn't want us?"
Yun Moxiao frowned tightly, "Or was my mother kidnapped by someone and forced to leave?"
In Yun Moxiao's eyes, Yun Lan had a very deep affection for Lin Yuemei, and he naturally felt that the relationship between Lin Yuemei and Yun Lan was very good.
But Yun Ruoyan knew that there was a secret affair between Yun Lan and Lin Yuemei.
"Brother." Yun Ruoyan called out to Yun Moxiao.
"Well, what's the matter?" Yun Moxiao asked.
Yun Ruoyan didn't want to deliberately hide it from Yun Moxiao, but she really didn't know how to tell Yun Moxiao about it.
Because even she herself was confused, and she didn't even tell Li Mo about this.
"I think my mother must have some unavoidable difficulties. Maybe when we find my mother, we will have the answer to everything." Yun Ruoyan said.
Yun Moxiao nodded and said, "I always feel that I shouldn't keep this matter from my father."
"You must not tell father." Yun Ruoyan immediately said: "If mother faked her death on purpose, then she must have a reason for hiding it from father. We just have some clues, so we should investigate it alone first. Also, were you not It is said that father and Uncle Rong Guo are currently competing fiercely in the court, so it is better not to cause him any more trouble."
"Then we'll tell him when we find out some clues." Yunmo Xiao said, "Father will be very happy if he knows that mother is still alive."
"Brother, what should we do next?" Yun Ruoyan changed the subject.
Yun Moxiao said: "The only clue we have now is the old doctor of You Fang. I learned the address of this doctor You Fang in the Imperial City Traditional Chinese Medicine Center from Lao Zhana, and I am going to go there with you to check when I come back. some."
"Okay, let's go there after lunch." Yun Ruoyan said.
