Liu Wanzhen saw that her nineteenth brother was extremely sleepy, thinking that he would have to get up early and rush on the road tomorrow, so she said no more. After coming out of the room, he told his maid Xiang'er:
"Xiang'er, go to Yunxuan Pavilion, call Fu Yun over, and tell me that I have something to tell you. Remember, don't make too much noise, so as not to disturb Eleven and the others."
Liu Wanzhen gave Xiang'er a meaningful look. Xiang'er had grown up with Liu Wanzhen since she was a child, so she could naturally understand. She agreed in a low voice and then left for Yunxuan Pavilion.
The gatekeeper of Yunxuan Pavilion was surprised to see Xiang'er coming back after nightfall. She was about to speak, but was stopped by Xiang'er's eyes. Xiang'er entered the courtyard and went straight to Fu Yun's residence.
At this time, there were only a few red lanterns hanging on the verandah of Yunxuan Pavilion.
In the main room, the lights in Fu Shiyi and Sanniang's rooms were all out.
The whole yard went silent.
Although Fu Yun didn't sleep for two days and one night, he didn't dare to sleep too deeply because there were guests in Yunxuan Pavilion, so he woke up immediately despite Xiang'er's knock on the door.
"Miss Xiang'er, it's so late, why are you here?"
Xiang'er made a silent movement, glanced at the upper room, and signaled to go outside the courtyard to talk. The two of them walked quietly outside the courtyard, and when they almost arrived at Yunya Pavilion, Xiang'er spoke up:
"Madam, I need to see you for something."
When Fu Yun heard this, he felt a little uneasy.
Everyone in Lotus Wu knows that although Liu Wanzhen seems gentle and kind, but provided that you have not made any mistakes and broken the rules, the reason why he was able to transfer here from the charcoal fire house in Yanyang Mulin is precisely because he was originally in Yunxuan Pavilion The person on errands returned to the clan and gossiped about Lotus Wu. Somehow, it reached Liu Wanzhen's ears, and all three members of the family were immediately kicked out.
He also spent all his family's savings.
It took a lot of connections to get this job.
There must be no mistake.
Fu Yun felt pain and took out the porcelain bottle that Fu Shiyi had given him. He secretly took two pills out of it and put them into another medicine bottle. He handed them over to Xiang'er in a subtle way before he entered the courtyard:
"Miss Xiang'er, I heard that you have been at the eighth level of the innate level for five years. I have two Xuanling Pills here. I heard from Aunt Eleven that these pills are particularly useful for us to break through the bottleneck at the innate level."
Xiang'er hesitated for a moment, looked around, and saw that the patrol had already gone to the dock. She put the medicine bottle away without leaving a trace, and whispered: "Relax, it's not a bad thing for the lady to come to you. It's your chance." , but whether you can catch it or not depends on how sincere you are to Madam and Lotus Wu."
After Xiang'er finished speaking, she knocked on the courtyard door three times.
After the courtyard door opened, he walked in first.
Fu Yun, who stayed where he was, had a flash of joy on his face, and then regained his composure, thinking quickly about what Xiang'er said about the opportunity.
Could it be related to Aunt Eleven?
Seeing that Xiang'er had gone far, Fu Yun didn't dare to delay. He quickly raised his heels and entered the courtyard gate. He walked across the three-arched stone bridge and walked around until he came to Liu Wanzhen's study in the backyard.
Even the Nineteenth Brother was not allowed to set foot in this study room on weekdays.
It was also Fu Yun's first time here, and his heart was beating wildly.
Xiang'er walked to the door, knocked on the door lightly, and said softly:
"Madam, Fu Yun has been brought here."
After finishing speaking, the door opened automatically with a creak. Xiang'er motioned for Fu Yun to go in. After Fu Yun stepped into the study, the door automatically closed again, and the entire study flashed with green light, as if there was something wrong. An invisible formation was activated.
After Fu Yun entered.
He didn't dare to raise his head, just staring at the ground.
Liu Wanzhen was sitting on the Grand Master's chair in front of her desk, recording something in a booklet. When Fu Yun came, he didn't stop writing and just said: "Fu Yun, it's been five years since you came to Hehuawu, but you're still getting used to it?"
Fu Yun didn't dare to say that he didn't adapt, so he naturally said a lot of good things.
"It's good to get used to it, but it requires you and your sister to depend on each other. Since then, the two places have been separated, but it is difficult for you brothers and sisters. I remember that your sister seems to be eighteen this year, right? You are as lovely as a flower, but you have to be there. It was hard for her to do the rough and dirty work in the charcoal shop."
Liu Wanzhen said, putting her pen on the inkstone and looking at Fu Yun, whose eyes were filled with hope:
"Although the charcoal fire shop has separate workshops for men and women, they are only separated by a wall. Your sister has also reached the age of getting married. As an elder brother, why don't you give your sister a hand?"
When Fu Yun heard this, his nervous body almost trembled. A thought quickly flashed through his mind. Could it be that the madam wanted to let his sister come to Lotus Wu? That would be great. Fu Yun knelt down with a bang:
"Madam, my sister was less than one year old when my mother passed away. Thanks to the family's relief, we brothers and sisters grew up. No one knows how much hardship my sister has endured in these years. No one knows it better than me. I can't even dream of it. I want her to live a good life!”
Fu Yun's father had said a long time ago that he would go to the Southern Wilderness to find opportunities.
It's been nineteen years since I left.
To this day, there is no news.
So the Fu Yun brothers and sisters grew up eating hundreds of meals, and one can imagine the hardships involved.
"Please take pity on me, madam, and help my sister out of the sea of suffering. I, Fu Yun, will never forget this kindness!" After Fu Yun finished speaking, he gave Liu Wanzhen three solid kowtows.
"It's so pitiful." Liu Wanzhen sighed and said, "At the beginning, I also saw that you brothers and sisters were helpless, so I chose you from so many outstanding candidates to come to Hehuawu. But our Hehuawu is only that big, and the staff is already there. It’s full, even if I want to help you, I have no excuse not to.”
After Liu Wanzhen finished speaking, she saw that the ink on the booklet had dried, so she closed the booklet.
Fu Yun, who was kneeling on the ground, was stunned. He thought Liu Wanzhen would ask for his sister. He was stunned for a moment, remembering Xiang'er's advice, and waved the sword finger of his left hand, and immediately a cut was made on the palm of his right hand. Holding the branch, he said loudly:
"I, Fu Yun, swear to God today that for the rest of my life, my wife Liu Wanzhen will be the main one. I will never do anything that disobeys my wife. If I do, I will die with thousands of arrows piercing the heart!"
After Fu Yun finished speaking, he broke the branch in his hand. Obviously he had come prepared.
When Liu Wanzhen saw this, a smile flashed across her lips: "What kind of poisonous oath are you making? Even though my surname is Liu, I will marry into your Fu family. You and I are our clansmen. Why should we be so indifferent? The ground is cold. Get up quickly." That’s it.”
Fu Yun didn't get up before he got the answer he wanted.
Liu Wanzhen didn't force herself, and pretended to think for a while before saying: "It's impossible to let your sister come to Hehuawu, but there is a better place to go than Hehuawu. Your sister shouldn't be engaged yet, right?"
Fu Yun was stunned. He didn't know why he mentioned this. He shook his head warily and said, "Madam, my little sister...my little sister is not married."
