Chapter 225 – The Wufan Monk Is Here
Meng Zhimo smiled brightly and raised his dirty hands to take a step back to avoid Jiang Yishi’s tugging.
Wordlessly, he said two zi, “Alright.”
He looked at Jiang Yishi’s large belly twice more before he went into the purification room to bathe.
Jiang Yishi had someone hurry to heat up the meal and bring it here, and also found out the clothes, pants, shoes and socks he wore inside and out, and put them by the door in the purification room.
Meng Zhimo sat on the bed with his wet hair, and the food and wine were already on the table.
He had already eaten in the outer courtyard, but now he was hungry again and wanted to have a few more drinks.
After sending the maid down, Meng Zhimo smiled and said, ”Things went well. That red-headed turtle really became a spirit, with two small fleshy tentacles growing on its head, and its head was really as big as a basin. We healed the injuries on its body and rowed the boat to the deep sea to put into the water ……”
The red-headed turtle didn’t want to leave for a long time after it got into the water. It swam around the boat a few times and stuck its head out to look at Meng Rimo, shedding tears again.
Meng Ruimo smiled and waved at him, saying, “Take care of your health and live well. I’ll come here again in the future, and I’ll bring my wife with me. If it’s fate, maybe we’ll meet again.”
The red-headed turtle heard this before sinking into the water and going far away.
Jiang Yixi heard this and was also saddened.
Meng Zhimo added, “I told King Ping about this, and King Ping also said that the turtle was not only a spirit beast, but also a divine beast, and was favored by heaven. Also said I did the right thing ……”
Of course he didn’t say that he would lead Jiang Yishi to see it.
Jiang Yishi talked a bit more about the family’s affairs.
The old Duke of State had told Meng Zhimo about all of these things. Meng Zhimo said, “Fu didn’t make a move at all, it doesn’t fit her personality. We analyzed that what she’s going to do next is more important, important enough not to bother cleaning up after you. The biggest possibility is that she’s hitting on her grandfather’s bad ideas.
“Right now I’m not fully grown up, if grandfather is gone, this family is completely in the hands of Cheng Guo Gong and her, and will be able to logically follow King Ying’s party. It would be much easier to clean us up at that time.
“You can rest assured that you are recuperating, grandfather and I have made all the preparations, and pre-empted the red-headed turtle to find and release it, they won’t be able to get any great benefits from the Wufan monks.”
Jiang Yi shi also thought of his previous life, the old state grandfather’s suddenly thin figure and hunched spine …… He should not be suffering from any serious illness, the biggest possibility is that he has been poisoned or parasites.
The one who can give the old master poison or parasites is of course the family.
When the Wu Fan Monk arrives, Fu will have to fulfill a task, and this task is most likely to give the old man poison or parasites.
Because it was something from the Upanishads, no one could recognize that kind of poison or compulsion. The old master’s body then slowly deteriorated and died of illness without knowing what caused it.
In the previous life, the Marquis of Zhennan also did not get the red headed turtle, it must be with what other conditions in exchange for the benefits …… but in the previous life, the Marquis of Zhennan and the King of England did not seem to get too much of a bargain, it should be the Wufan Monk’s favorite red headed turtle committed suicide, and the other thing the Wufan Monk was not too satisfied.
Jiang Yishi said, “Will Fu poison it? If the Wu Fan Monk brought something, no imperial physician or doctor in the Central Plains would recognize it.”
Meng Zhimo said, “We also thought of this possibility ……”
The next day when the sky was just dawning, Meng Ruimo left again.
The rain had stopped, and a few drops of rain dripped from time to time from the eaves and branches.
Only after seeing that figure disappear did Jiang Yishi return to the house.
After breakfast on March 28th, Jiang Yishi was helped by Shui Xiang to walk around the Bi Pond.
At this time, the sunlight was not too strong, the morning breeze was cool, and the fragrance of the flowers was pleasant. Jiang Yishi would walk under the sun for half an hour after breakfast and half an hour after dinner.
Her due date was approaching, and since a few days ago, the old lady hadn’t allowed her to go and ask for peace, not even for dinner.
At this time, the old Duke of State came. He didn’t go to the Brocade Garden, but came directly to the Floating Life Residence.
“I’m thirsty, pour me a cup of tea first.”
Looking at the old lord’s deep eyes, something big should have happened.
Back inside, Jiang Yishi personally poured the tea.
A few subordinates had already figured out that as long as the master personally poured the tea, they would consciously step back, and two people stood guard outside.
The old master said, ”I received a tip-off in the morning, Monk Wu Fan and Xuan Diao arrived in the western suburbs yesterday in the middle of the day, he didn’t go into the capital but went to a few temples in the area of the western suburbs except for the Temple of the Annunciation. Apart from the fact that we know that he is the Wufan Monk and that the big eagle is the Xuan Eagle, many people only think that he is a general Fans Monk from the Western Region or Tubo.”
Occasionally, there would be a fan monk who would come to the Jinhe Dynasty, and if he approached the temple or the official office with a cultural disk from his country, he would be politely received.
If there is no accident, Zhennan Marquis’s who will accidentally meet the tomato monks, because the conversation is very happy, will invite the tomato monks to Zhennan Marquis’s house as a guest, with Zhennan Marquis Zhao mutual Zen.
The old master finished his tea, went to the brocade garden to tend to the flowers and plants for a while, and then went to the front yard.
Jiang Yixi’s heart lifted, she looked at the string on the bowl, pinched the incense-avoiding bead, and went out to look for Hua Hua.
“Hua Hua, Hua Hua ……”
Shui Xiang hurried over to hold her up, “The slave girl just saw Hua Hua running outside, Shui Ling followed.”
Jiang Yishi said, “Quickly go get it back, I miss it.”
Mei Xiang heard this and hurriedly took the little girl and the granny out to look for it. Letting the little girl go to Fu An Hall, she and the granny split up to look for it.
Flower was not easy to find, but with Shui Ling with her, the goal was clear.
After searching for a while, Mei Xiang finally saw Shui under a tree under a cherry blossom not far from the outer courtyard and hurriedly ran over.
“Shui Ling, where’s Hua Hua, Great Grandma misses it and is anxious to find it.”
Water Spirit heard, rushed to the tree and shouted, “Flower, quickly come down.”
The cherry blossoms had already blossomed and failed, there weren’t many flowers on the branches, and Flower Flower was grabbing onto the thick branches of the tree to swing and play.
The little thing was smart, and when it heard that Mother was looking for it in a hurry, it thought that something must have happened. It quickly slid down the tree and was about to rush back as fast as it could when Shui Ling grabbed it and held it firmly in her arms.
Shui Ling ran back to Floating Life Residence in a huff, “Great Grandma, I brought Flower Flower back.”
Sitting on the kang, Jiang Yishi was unperturbed, “Oh, put it on the side of the kang, I missed it.”
Shui Xiang walked over with a wet handkerchief and wiped Hua Hua’s body clean before placing the little thing on the other side of the kang.
The maid went down before Jiang Yishi said to it, “Monk Wu Fan and Xuan Eagle are here. Definitely don’t go out of the mansion, don’t go out of the inner courtyard, don’t leave the line of sight of Shui Ling and I, and don’t lose the Fragrance Avoiding Pearl.”
Hua Hua knew that this day would come sooner or later, but now that it has really come, she is still panicked, staring at Jiang Yishi with big round eyes.
If mother hadn’t gotten pregnant, it would be lying in her arms at all times.
Jiang Yishi walked over and took its Fragrance Avoidance Bead and looked at it, checking the rope again.
Hua Hua returned to her senses and asked again, ”Mother, do I still go eavesdrop on Granny Fu? If Granny Fu goes out, do I follow her?”
Jiang Yishi said, “If there are outsiders looking for her, you will go and listen. As for her going out, it’s out of your hands.”
Seriously stuck in writing, take a day off and try to update normally tomorrow.
