Chapter 46 Reputation
The Fu family has not been peaceful at all these days.

Fu Yan scolded the servants every day; Fu Changjian had nightmares every night; Xie and Fu Zhenqing quarreled when they met, showing no tolerance at all between husband and wife.Aunt Chen's proud face was covered in acne and turned into pieces after being smeared with unknown rouge.

The only one who escaped this was Aunt Lu, who was relatively transparent in the family.

The matter was too big. She stayed in her small yard and couldn't help but worry when she heard these rumors.

The maid who had been with him for more than ten years saw this and suggested: "Auntie, why don't you go to the temple to worship today? If you don't seek peace of mind, I'm afraid your yard will not be peaceful either."

"Alright."

Aunt Lu had no friends around her, so she could have chatted with Aunt Chen for a few words, but because of her face, Aunt Chen searched everywhere for medical advice, but no one was found.

It was no good staying in a smoky home, so Aunt Lu took the maid and went to the temple for a walk.

Shengshui Temple is located on the outskirts of Beijing.

Because it is not an imperial temple, the fireworks are not strong, the area is not large, and there are only a few monks here and there.

Aunt Lu bought some incense and knelt down with her maid in the hall. Just as she stood up, she was suddenly stopped by an old monk in gray clothes, "Madam, has there been any unrest at home recently?"

Aunt Lu was shocked when she heard this.

She looked around and said in surprise: "How can Master see this?"

"Looking at the black energy surrounding you but not entering your body, I think you are not in trouble, but the people close to you are not going well."

Aunt Lu carefully thought about the recent changes in her family, her face was dejected, and she nodded: "Master, I have a keen eye. Everything in the family is indeed not going well. Is there any way to resolve this?" After hearing their arguments all day long, Aunt Lu felt anxious in her heart. It's uncomfortable, who doesn't want to have a safe home and everything is going well.

The old monk in gray clothes counted with his fingers.

He immediately shook his head: "These things happened in Madam's family because she offended people who should not have been offended. The poor monk is still inexperienced and cannot resolve it. As the saying goes, the person who ties the bell needs to untie the bell. Madam, you might as well go and ask that expert for help. Leave your family alone."

"Who has your family offended recently?"

Aunt Lu was confused.

She turned to the maid next to her, who was scratching her head and couldn't figure it out, "The master's official position is low, and he always walks on thin ice when he is on duty, and his relationship with his colleagues is very harmonious; the mistress lives in seclusion, and except for occasionally inviting theater troupes to come to the house, she does nothing else. What's going on... could it be the second young master and the third young lady?"

"That girl Fu Yan is fine. Maybe Chang Jian offended someone."

Aunt Lu pursed her lips, feeling anxious.

The maid also worriedly said: "My aunt has a kind heart and is as kind as water. For so many years, she has not fought or snatched, and everyone has done the work, but it is best not to bring trouble to my aunt."

"Don't, don't say it."

Hearing the maid praise her kindness, Aunt Lu lowered her head in shame.

If the Fu family is a quagmire, she is not a noble lotus that emerges from the mire and remains unstained.

Thinking of Fu Jiao's family banquet a few days ago, she didn't even dare to look at him twice, and she felt even more uncomfortable.

"Where did that master go? I still have knots in my mind, I hope he can give me some advice."

"It was still here just now!"

Aunt Lu and her maid searched around Shengshui Temple for several times, but they could not find the gray-robed monk just now.It was getting late, and the two of them returned home with a feeling of apprehension.

Before they even entered the door, Fu Yan's sharp voice could be heard beating and scolding the servants.

Aunt Lu sighed and turned back to her yard, not planning to go out again.

*
The Fu family's feng shui has been changed, and the chickens and dogs are restless.

Fu Jiao didn't care.

At the same time, she and Fu Rudi were happily visiting the Yunzhou Market.

There is no curfew in Yunzhou.

The sky is getting late and the lanterns are starting to turn on.The shops in the streets and alleys were not closed, and the lights were bright and shining.Vendors are coming and going, and there are stalls on both sides of the street, selling scallion pancakes, Yangchun noodles, sugar-oiled fruits... there are so many varieties in front of you, too many to mention.

Fu Jiao wants to eat everything.

When she comes to another city, she feels like she is on vacation.I bought a lot, took two bites and stuffed it into Fu Rudi's arms, "Brother, this is delicious, you can eat it."

Normally, by saying this, Fu Rudi would know that the food was not in line with her taste and that she couldn't eat it.

Fu Rudi did not refuse.

She stuffed it over and he ate it silently.

"Brother, this is not bad. You eat it."

Fu Jiao was also relieved.

I ate half of the scallion pancake I bought and found it tasteless, so I handed it to Fu Rudi.

Fu Rudi hesitated.

This cake was different from the fruit and chestnuts just now. This one had been bitten by her mouth... On the round scallion pancake, a small chip was made by her mouth, and the delicate teeth marks of the shell teeth could be clearly seen.

Fu Jiao's hands were sore. She didn't think much, and hummed: "Do you dislike me? Who knows that every meal on the plate is hard work. Don't waste it."

Fu Rudi was speechless.

She said all the good and bad words alone.

He didn't dislike her. Inexplicably, he felt vaguely happy when he took the remaining half piece of scallion pancake from her hand.Si Nan and Si Bei were following behind, and they didn't see Fu Jiao handing them the endless food. In Fu Jiao's heart, she was also a different person.

Thinking of this, Fu Rudi lowered his head, opened his mouth and bit the place where Fu Jiao had eaten.

The scallion pancake was obviously salty, but he tasted a sweet taste.

"Yunzhou is so big, where can we find Taoist Danyang?" Si Nan and Si Bei muttered as they walked behind holding knives.

Si Bei replied: "My lord will go to see King Chengnan tomorrow. I must want to ask him for a copy of the major temples and Taoist temples in Yunzhou. Let's start with these places."

"Too."

After all, it was King Chengnan's territory, so it would be rude to go directly to see Zhizhou.

At this moment, a loud argument suddenly came from the stall in front.

Fu Jiao likes to watch the fun the most.

She quickly slipped over and leaned forward to listen.

The quarrel was between a young couple.I thought it was some kind of love triangle that affected moral values, but after listening carefully, I found out that the husband promised to take his wife back to his hometown to visit relatives. He had been saying it for two months, but he still didn't go.

"We agreed to go back together tomorrow, and I've hired the carriage, but now you have to change your mind at the last minute!"

Wiping away tears, the wife turned away and complained to her husband.

The husband had no choice but to explain, "I have lost two big boxes of porcelain in the shop. How can I not find it? I will report it to the police and catch the thief. I must be there!"

Those who didn’t know better thought that the husband was bullying his wife.

Seeing more and more people watching, the husband explained to the crowd, "It's not that I don't want to take her back to visit relatives. She has encountered too many things in the past two months, and she can't leave. The first time, she fell ill before going out. The second time, I got sick again; The third time, the road back to my hometown was washed away by heavy rain. During that time, there were floods everywhere and I couldn’t walk; The fourth time is now, I finally took care of everything, including the store. There was a thief here."

His words made his wife cry even harder.

Fu Jiao couldn't help but smile.

She looked at the sky and asked a lot: "Have you been injured four times when you went out? You cut your fingers, accidentally kicked your feet, etc."

The weeping wife burst into tears.

After thinking for a while, he said, "I was cut while cutting vegetables." The husband also extended his right hand, "Just yesterday, I accidentally knocked over a vase in the shop. Look, my hand was cut so deep. ."

Seeing this, Fu Jiao confirmed what she was thinking.In order to make it easier for the two of them to accept it, she changed her words: "I think you two are very kind and have the appearance of being blessed and protected by your ancestors. You have always been prevented from going somewhere during this period by various reasons. Maybe it's... God will help you avoid danger again.”

"Hedging?"

"Yes." Fu Jiao said clearly, "If you forcefully go to a place but everything goes wrong, you might encounter some dangers on the way. God foretells it in advance and is helping you. Why don't you take it easy and wait until next month? , or it’s not too late to go back to visit relatives in your hometown after the New Year. There are some things that God prevents you from doing, and it’s not accidental or without reason. Gaining may not be a blessing, and losing may not be a disaster.” The husband was instantly enlightened.

My wife stopped crying. After thinking about it, she became more open-minded about not being able to return to her hometown.

"To gain may not be a blessing, and to lose may not be a disaster..."

The two nodded, "The girl is right."

The couple wanted to hold Fu Jiao and have a good conversation, but Fu Jiao only smiled and left the noodle stall holding Fu Rudi's sleeve.

Using what you have learned to help others can sometimes make you happy.

She would hum songs when she was happy. Fu Rudi was infected by her joyful mood, and his cold face was like dissipating ice and snow, and he slightly curved the corners of his mouth.

"Brother, do you believe what I say?"

Fu Jiao asked with a smile.

Fu Rudi looked at her with eyes full of doting and indulgence, "Yeah."

He has seen what she is capable of.

Since she said this, she must have a reason.

If in the future, he always gets frustrated and does not go well, it might not be a good thing to use this kind of thinking to explain it.

A few people visited Yunzhou City. When they returned to the inn, the moon was high and it was already very late.

On the streets that were bustling just now, there were only a few pedestrians wrapped tightly in their clothes and hurried back.

But Fu Jiao and Fu Rudi walked leisurely on the bluestone street.

Neither of them spoke.

The night wind blew, the surroundings were quiet, and the moonlight stretched their shadows long.

Fu Jiao hadn't felt so peaceful for a long time.

Being with Fu Rudi, she didn't have to think about many things, and she felt extremely stable with the Ziwei destiny in him.

she thinks……

After his merits are fulfilled, it would be great if he could return to her world.She will enjoy his Ziwei destiny to the fullest and will take care of him as her own brother.

It's just... I can only think about these.

Perhaps because she was too quiet, Fu Jiao blurted out something on a whim: "Brother, will you miss me in the future?"

After she left.

Fu Rudi frowned.

"Why do you ask that?"

"We will definitely separate in the future." Fu Jiao smiled obediently, paving the way for her future departure. "My brother knows how to get a wife, and I can also get married. How can I stay in the government office with you every day. You and I have our own differences. Things to do.”

Her goal is to become the number one Mystic Master, and this has never changed.

Fu Rudi did not answer.

He doesn't want a wife.

I don't even want her to get married.

This kind of thing cannot even be said as a hypothesis.

Fu Rudi was secretly happy because he ate Fu Jiao's leftover scallion pancake, but now because of Fu Jiao's words, his mood fell to the bottom.He showed no emotion or anger, so in Fu Jiao's eyes, he fell into a consistent silence.

Fu Jiao was about to urge him to answer, but Fu Rudi stepped through the inn door first.

The hotel lobby is brightly lit.

A few residents who couldn't sleep ordered melon seeds, peanuts and warm wine to drink in the corner.

Fu Jiao and Fu Rudi's rooms are upstairs.

The two of them had just taken a few steps up the stairs when suddenly someone in the lobby shouted: "Miss Fu."

He is the only one named Fu.

Even fewer are called girls.

Fu Jiao immediately stopped and turned around to look.

But I saw a tall, thin and handsome young man standing at the door of the inn.He was carrying a large medicine box made of pear wood, and was wearing a light white cotton and linen gown with elegant bamboo leaf patterns embroidered on the cuffs. His bun was neatly tied up with a ribbon of the same color.His simple attire could not hide his picturesque appearance. His eyes were very gentle, as warm as the spring breeze.

Fu Jiao immediately called out his name for such a man with such vivid memories: "Is it you? How are you?"

The down-and-out fiancé who broke off the engagement.

"it's me."

He Wuyang stepped forward and bowed politely to Fu Jiao who was standing on the steps, "Long time no see, how are you, Miss Fu?"

Fu Jiao had no special feelings towards this person who broke off her engagement.

Don't hate it, don't like it either.

Instead, she was a little grateful that he broke off the engagement so that she didn't have to take on the role of someone else's wife.

She smiled and said politely: "Very good. What a coincidence, Doctor He also came to stay at this inn?"

"unfortunately."

He Wuyan pointed outside, "I met you at the noodle stall, and I didn't want to disturb you at that time. I came here to apologize to Miss Fu. It was really a helpless move to cancel the engagement with Miss Fu at that time."

Fu Jiao was stunned.

Oh, after working for a long time, this guy had already seen her and followed him and Fu Rudi all the way to this inn.

When Fu Rudi heard this, his expression became as cold as winter.He walked forward, calmly asked Fu Jiao to stand behind him, and said condescendingly: "Doctor He does not need to apologize, the past is over."

"I met Mr. Fu."

He Wuxing's etiquette is thorough.

He raised his head, but his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, "Although this matter has passed, I don't want Miss Fu to misunderstand."

The official position of the Fu family is not high, but it is much better than that of the He family, which has suffered a lot.

At that time, the matchmaker connected him with the concubine of the Fu family, and He Wuyang still felt that he was superior.After seeing Fu Jiao once, I was extremely satisfied.But later, his family's creditor came to ask for a huge sum of money borrowed by his father, with interest compounded. In order to settle the debt, He Wuyao had to sell his shop and house in Beijing and leave his hometown.

In this case, his would be even less worthy of Fu Jiao.

I originally thought that breaking off the engagement was for Fu Jiao's good and hoped that she would find another husband. Unexpectedly, when I returned to the capital, I heard rumors that He Wuyan had broken off the engagement because he looked down on Fu Jiao. This also caused tension between Fu Jiao and her family.

He Wuyang blamed himself very much for this.

He wanted to find a chance to explain to Fu Jiao, but he couldn't get in touch.I never thought that we would meet each other this time when we came to Yunzhou.

"Miss Fu, whether you believe it or not, I am breaking off the engagement for your sake."

"Ah? What do you say?"

Fu Jiao became interested.

Fu Rudi's face was darker than Mo's.

He swept through everyone in the lobby and dragged Fu Jiao upstairs.He said coldly to He Wuyan: "Come up. The Emperor's Room No. [-]."

This is really disgusting.

Mentioning Fu Jiao's annulled engagement in public was not afraid of affecting his sister's reputation!
