Don't be clouded

Chapter 63

After the boy left, Fang Sui sat down and drank a cup of tea before getting up and walking downstairs slowly.

Today he brought only one servant, and was waiting outside Qinyi Garden, so he had a rare leisure time, so he took a stroll in this garden.

Chao Yi knew how to avoid misfortune, and he left after bringing Ji Yao, and he had already disappeared by now.

He wandered around quietly for a while, then took a carriage back to the private house through the back door.

Si Tiantai rested and bathed for two consecutive days, his son-in-law stayed in the mansion today, and summoned the servants around him to ask, saying that he was doing fuss in the study.

In the past, Fang Sui seldom went to the Nieziyuan, but remembering the conversation with Ji Yao before, he abducted inexplicably.

That kid was actually staying in the study. Fang Muzhi didn't notice when he entered, and he was still thinking hard with his pen.

"What article are you doing?" He asked.

Fang Muzhi was taken aback, and the pen dropped on the paper on the table, staining a large area.

"Father? Why are you here!"

His wicked son quickly put away the look of panic on his face, straightened his sleeves, came out from behind the desk, and stood respectfully in front of him.It's just that the eyes are too downcast, and it's hard to make a big deal if you shrink back.

Fang Sui said coldly: "Why, I don't think you can?"

"Don't dare." His wicked son buried his head even lower.

He also didn't want to torture people, so he said: "During these days in Si Tiantai, can there be any gains?"

Fang Muzhi was confused and worried.reward?What kind of gains?On the network, or on the situation?

He thought for a while, and chose a suitable excuse: "My son has recognized many stars...he is learning the method of deduction."

He thought he would be reprimanded for being ignorant, but unexpectedly his father remained silent for a long while.Just when he looked up, his father stared at him and asked, "When you were studying in Yunzhou, was there a classmate named Ji Yao?"

He was taken aback for a moment, and wanted to deny it immediately but felt that he would be exposed, so he hesitated and said nothing.

"When you went to study, I looked through the roster of the private school, and I had an impression of this name. This person and General Ji went out of Yunzhou, but the same person?" His father's tone seemed to be normal.

Fang Muzhi had no choice but to bite the bullet and replied, "It's the same person."

His father asked again: "Why didn't I hear you say it before?"

"Because..." His mind was spinning crazily, and he said half-truth, "Because the whole family of Ji's family was killed by bandits, my son doesn't want to mention Ji Yao's past, and thinks it's unfair."

Fang Sui murmured, "Benevolence and righteousness."

Although Fang Muzhi has been the prime minister's son for 20 years and has figured out his father's temperament, he still can't restrain his fear.Obviously, he had never been beaten or scolded, but he always tensed up a string in his mind, for fear of disappointing his father.

Hearing the "benevolence and righteousness" that his prime minister father had recited several times, he became more and more uneasy.

A hand dropped from the shoulder, put it on with a little force, and then patted it.

Fang Muzhi's heart sank every time he patted it, but he heard his father say: "Benevolence and righteousness are good things, let's do your article."

After that, he turned and left.

Fang Muzhi broke out in a cold sweat, looking up at his father's back, he always felt that today's prime minister was different from usual, but he couldn't tell the difference.

He went out of the study, waved to the boy guarding the door, and asked in a low voice, "What happened outside today? Why did the master suddenly ask about General Ji?"

The servant also looked blank, "Master, I have not left the house like you, what's the use of you asking me, why don't you ask General Ji directly?"

Fang Muzhi thought that it made sense, Dang even turned and went back to the room, "Hurry up and change my clothes, let's go to Ji Zhai again."

One master and one servant left the mansion, but when they walked to the street, they felt that it was more lively than before.But it wasn't the kind of joyful rioting, he casually glanced at the people who were talking on the side of the road, most of them had secretive expressions on their faces.

"What's the matter?" He poked the boy with his folding fan, "Go and find out."

He stood outside a sugar water shop and waited anxiously for a while, his eyelids twitched when his sight touched a incense and candle shop across the street.

The owner of the shop was talking to the waiter with a sad face, pointing in the direction of Xuanqing Mountain from time to time.

Fang Muzhi had a faint guess in his heart, but he didn't dare to confirm it, until his servant came back in a hurry, lowered his voice and said eagerly: "Master, Zen Master Jueming of Xuanqing Temple...has passed away!"

The conjecture came true.He frowned deeply, tapped the handle of his fan on his palm and did not speak for a long time.

Anyway, it is a national temple, and the death of the abbot of a temple will have an impact on the entire Chenjing and even the entire Daliang.The new emperor is not as enthusiastic about Buddhism as the previous emperor. Once the respected Zen Master Jueming leaves, the Xuanqing Temple will be...

But that Ji Bieyun misses Master Guanchen of Xuanqing Temple so much.

Fang Muzhi went through it in his mind, and felt more and more anxious. He dragged the servant and walked forward quickly: "Hurry up, hurry up, it's amazing, go to Ji Zhai."

Ji Bieyun had to be stopped, if he went to Xuanqing Temple now, wouldn't the previous avoidance be in vain?

The two almost trotted to the gate of Ji's residence.Young master Fang came here often, and the servants in Ji's residence all saw him familiar, so they didn't stop him.

As usual, Fang Muzhi left the boy outside. As soon as he entered the front hall, he first saw two soldiers with swords and armour, one was strong and the other was tall and thin.Not only was the housekeeper surnamed Xu standing beside him, but there were also many servants surrounding him. I am afraid that all the people in Ji Zhai, except for the gatekeeper, have run here.

But Ji Bieyun's shadow was not seen, and he didn't know where he went.

Those people also noticed him and turned around to look over.A group of people looked at each other in blank dismay, a little embarrassed, and the surroundings were suddenly quiet for a moment.

The urgency in Fang Mu's voice dissipated a bit, he smiled dryly, and asked, "Where are your generals?"

Xu Yang naturally recognized him, called Fang Shaoqing and squeezed out from the crowd, his manner was still decent, but the anxiety in his brows and eyes couldn't be concealed.

"Why is Fang Shaoqing looking for the general? He has something to delay at the moment, and he is not in the mansion..."

Knowing that the butler was maintaining the scene, he interrupted, waved his hands and said, "You don't have to lie to me, where did your general go? Does he know that something happened in Xuanqing Temple?"

Xu Yang closed his mouth, and suddenly sighed heavily, "I know, I already returned to the mansion, and turned around and ran away when I heard the news. The general is very skilled, how can I catch up? But I have already sent people to go on horseback The Xuanqing Temple is gone, I hope to stop him and bring him back."

The two didn't have much contact with each other, but because of Ji Bieyun's anxiety, they got together.

Fang Muzhi was thinking on the other side, Ji Bieyun was dazzled by love this time, while Xu Yang scolded secretly over there, that kid was actually delayed so far by his beauty.

The more Master Fang thought about it, the more anxious he was, he opened the folding fan and fanned himself fiercely, "It's broken, what's the use of him going to Xuanqing Temple now? It's just to attract attention, the temple must be in chaos , so what if he’s gone?”

While talking in a low voice, the burly soldier stood up, glanced at him and Xu Yang, and asked, "Do you want me to go back to the camp and let You Xiaowei prepare?"

Fang Mu was stunned, and blurted out, "What are you preparing for?"

"Looking at your posture, it seems like you are about to go to war." Dai Fengmao looked puzzled, "Why don't you just go to Xuanqing Temple, maybe even the emperor has to go, who can notice him in such a mess?"

Fang Muzhi wanted to refute, but he didn't even know the name of this person, it would be impolite, so he endured and asked first: "I don't know who you are?"

The tall and thin man next to him spoke, his broken gong-like voice seemed to be changing, and Fang Mu was taken aback when he heard it.

"He is Captain Dai from You Xiaowei, General Ji's deputy. Don't listen to his nonsense. People who don't understand the current situation are very short-sighted. People like you have no common language with him."

This kid... looks pretty good, but his temper is a bit rough and his speech is noisy.

Fang Mu felt disgusted for a while, and saw that Deputy Captain Dai turned his wrist, and then started to clean up the brat.

"Zhuo Anping, General Ji told me to beat you up." Dai Fengmao gritted his teeth angrily, "Don't think that your father is the captain and I dare not do it. I have been rampant among the right guards for many years. Is it your turn to be angry at me, little brat?"

The child named Zhuo Anping screamed from the beating, and started howling before the fist hit him, and his dodging movements were light and fast.He even found time to protest by pointing in the corner: "There's a little brat over there, why don't you hit her?"

Fang Muzhi's eyes turned away, and then he noticed that there was a young girl sitting under the tree in the corner, half hidden behind the tree trunk, staring blankly, as if nothing had anything to do with her.

... Why does Ji Zhai have everyone?Ji Bieyun went to Chongzhou to adopt a child?

The girl finally moved when she heard Zhuo Anping's words, and said coldly: "I am indeed as young as you, but you are the only brat here."

Dai Fengmao made a smug smile, "You heard me, the little girl has already said that you are the only one who deserves a beating here."

As soon as the voice fell, there was another burst of chicken and dog jumping.

Fang Muzhi felt very uncomfortable watching it. What time is it? Can this brat calm down a bit?He endured it again and again, but unexpectedly, the child's eyes suddenly fixed on him, and then flew towards him.He grabbed Fang Muzhi's arm, hid behind him, poked his head out and shouted at Captain Dai: "Come here, come here!"

Captain Dai was really concerned about Fang Muzhi's identity, and he didn't dare to come over easily, so he touched the saber at his waist angrily.

"You wait for me. When the general comes back, let him take care of you himself."

Fang Muzhi hated this kind of impolite person the most, besides, his arms were bound, and his whole body was led to the east and west by that brat.He could no longer maintain his polite demeanor, he broke away abruptly, turned around, and slapped the cub hard on the forehead with the handle of his fan.

He cursed angrily: "You child, you are like a wild monkey! A capable monkey can go to the sky to eat flat peaches, but you can only peel peaches for people like you!"

Being scolded, Zhuo Anping suddenly fell silent. Because he was a little taller than him, those bright eyes looked down at him. After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked, "Do you still have to peel the peaches?"

Fang Muzhi was so angry that he rolled his eyes upwards and was about to faint. After finally regaining his composure, he heard the brat say again, "How about I cut it for you next time?"

This time even Dai Fengmao was dumbfounded, he was stunned for a while and suddenly laughed, "Hey, one thing is one thing."

"Where are the peaches? Get me one." A sudden voice ended the farce.

Ji Bieyun walked in from the door with a gloomy expression.

The author says:

The joys and sorrows of human beings are not connected, Xiaoyun just wants to eat a peach.
