And said you're not a fairy

Chapter 147

In the dead of night.

There are clouds in the sky tonight, covering the crescent moon in the sky. After the clouds are blown away by the wind, the covered crescent moon will be exposed from time to time.

Lu Bo, the prefect of Chuzhou, was sleeping in his room when he woke up unconsciously.

He glanced at his wife who was sleeping soundly beside him. In a daze, he got out of bed and walked out of the room he slept in, wearing a white singlet that he wore while sleeping. He came outside the room and stood in the yard shrouded in moonlight.

The surrounding silence was a little scary, and Lu Bozheng was a little scared.

"Is anyone here?"

"Wang Lu, Sun Fu, where are you?"

"Everyone wake up!"

Lu Bo couldn't help shouting a few times, trying to call the housekeeper and servants, but found that there was no sound at all in the entire mansion.

No matter how much he yelled, there was no response, and even the whole mansion didn't even hear the croaking of insects and frogs that were common in summer nights.

As a prefect, Lu Bozheng felt a little scared at this moment, and wanted to go back to his room to find his wife, but when he turned around, he found that his room had disappeared.

But his body walked out of the mansion uncontrollably.

After leaving the mansion, he walked through the dark and spacious empty street. In the whole street, except for the houses with dark doors and windows, only the sound of his footsteps echoed.

Not long after he left, Lu Bo felt that he must have encountered a strange thing, and his heart became more and more fearful.

But I found myself in front of a somewhat familiar archway with double floors and four corners.

There is a book on the archway: "Qingyang Temple"!
"Green Sheep View?"

Lu Bozheng breathed a sigh of relief, and was no longer as afraid as he was at the beginning, because Qingyangguan was no stranger to him, and it was a place he often visited.

"Why did you wake up in the middle of the night and came to Qingyang Temple from home? Isn't this a dream?"

Lu Bozheng secretly said in his heart.

"My lord is indeed in a dream."

At this moment, Lu Bo heard a somewhat familiar voice.

Lu Bo was looking carefully, only to find that under the archway of Qingyang Temple, there stood a handsome young Taoist priest in a blue Taoist robe, with an outstanding temperament.

Lu Bozheng immediately recognized him as the young Taoist priest who drank with himself and the fifteen princes in Qingyang Temple two days ago.

According to the Changchun Taoist, the master of the Qingyang Temple, this person is from Fuhu Temple. He is a master of Taoism who has cultivation and magic, and walks in the world.

"Daoist Qing Ming, why are you here?"

The silence along the way made Lu Bozheng suddenly see a person, and he felt a sense of security that he had not seen for a long time. He was no longer afraid, and walked up to the young Taoist priest with some joy.

"By the way, Daoist Qingming, just now you said that I was in a dream?"

Lu Bo was thinking of what Chen Yuan said, and said curiously.

"Yes, the prefect is indeed in a dream at this time, and it was Pindao who invited the prefect late at night."

Chen Yuan, who was in front of Lu Bozheng, nodded.

Lu Bozheng's expression changed slightly when he heard the words, because he suddenly thought that the Daoist Qingming in front of him was from Fuhuguan, possessed Taoism and cultivation, and knew magic spells. He used spells to lift himself from the dream If you are recruited, I am afraid there is something wrong.

And it may not be a good thing, otherwise, wouldn't it be good to come and visit directly?
Why forcefully bring yourself to Qingyang Temple from sleep!
"Pindao wanted the magistrate to go with him to meet the two people, so he directly invited the magistrate to Qingyang Temple from his dream, and please don't blame the magistrate."

Chen Yuan said calmly.

"Dare to ask the chief, who is the person you want me to see?"

In Lu Bozheng's heart, he suddenly had a bad premonition.

"They are a mother and daughter, they met by chance when Pindao was on a boat."

"When passing through the "Luohunjian", the girl Lu Xiaoqiu was almost swallowed by the river monster in the river, and was rescued by Pindao, so Pindao formed some fate with their mother and daughter."

"When we met again, they were begging along the streets of Jianghuai City. They said they came to Jianghuai City to find relatives, and the relatives they were looking for were the magistrate."

Chen Yuan told the cause and effect of the matter.

Following Chen Yuan's narration, Lu Bozheng's expression became extremely complicated,

And Chen Yuan, who observed Lu Bozheng's expression, also saw many emotions such as shame, worry, and self-blame in Lu Bozheng's eyes.

"I'm sorry for their mother and daughter."

After a long time, Lu Bozheng took a long breath and admitted directly.

"Master Dao, I can compensate their mother and daughter in other ways, can I not see them?"

Lu Bo was looking at Chen Yuan with a hint of pleading.

"Master Zhifu, this matter is not compensation, it can be over. Besides, the wish of their mother and daughter now is to see you."

Chen Yuan shook his head.

Now he probably has a guess in his mind about why Lu Bozheng doesn't want to see Yan Lanfang's mother and daughter.

It may be because of shame and fear of being condemned by my own conscience after meeting.

In Lu Bozheng's year, the reason why he abandoned his wife and daughter for eight years for his own future after going to Beijing to rush for the high school entrance examination was probably the result of weighing the pros and cons, and it was not a temporary decision.

So he just saw shame and other emotions in the other party's eyes.

This shows that Lu Bozheng still has a little conscience, although not much, but a little bit.

Hearing Chen Yuan's words, Lu Bozheng's heart sank. He knew that this time he couldn't avoid it.

"Master Zhifu, go and meet them with the poor Taoist."

Chen Yuan continued to talk to Lu Bo.

While speaking, he turned around and walked towards the Qingyang Temple.

Lu Bo was about to resist, but found that he couldn't control his body at all, he was like a bystander, he could only watch him follow Chen Yuan into the Qingyang Temple.

This is the dream charm.

Once entering the dream of ordinary people, they can control the other party in the dream while entering the dream.

Ordinary people have no power to resist at all.

After a while, they walked into the Qingyang Temple and came to a side courtyard of the Qingyang Temple.

Lu Bo was in the yard when he saw Yan Lanfang's mother and daughter whom he dared not meet.

"Okay, Ren Pindao brought it for you, if you have anything you want to ask him, just ask him directly."

When he came here, Chen Yuan said to Yan Lanfang's mother and daughter who were standing beside her with complicated expressions.

As soon as Lu Bozheng arrived here, he found that he could control himself again now, but now he wished he could still be a puppet who couldn't move and speak like just now.

Yan Lanfang's mother and daughter finally saw each other at this time, thinking about the person they wanted to see day and night, their expressions were complicated, but they didn't know what to say.

"Lan Fang, are you okay?"

In the end, it was Lu Bozheng, whose eyes were full of shame, who broke the silence first.

"I'm not good."

Yan Lanfang shook her head.

"Two years ago, people in the village said that you, Bozheng, had become a high-ranking official in Fucheng. Lan Fang didn't believe it at the time, but thought it was someone who looked similar to you, Bozheng. If you were still alive, why didn't you return home for eight years? Why don't you visit me and Xiaoqiu?"

"Later, as more and more people said this, the persistence in my heart gradually wavered."

"Finally I came up with the idea of ​​going to Fucheng to find relatives. For the past two years, I have been working around the clock, helping people wash clothes, and becoming a weaver, just to save enough money to go to Fucheng to see if the person they said is you."

"In order to come to Fucheng, I starched and washed clothes every day, and my hands were soaked. When weaving, my hands were often pinched by the loom. Finally, not long ago, I managed to scrape together enough travel expenses and money to go to Jianghuai City."

"As a result, I encountered a river demon while walking on the waterway. If it wasn't for the blessing of the heavens, Xiaoqiu would have died at the mouth of the river demon when he met the Taoist Qing Ming who was traveling with him."

When Yan Lanfang spoke, she stretched out her two scarred and scarred hands.

These hands grew on the beautiful Yan Lanfang, and there was a huge sense of disobedience.

"Daddy, Xiaoqiu hates you."

The girl next to her, Lu Xiaoqiu, also shouted at Lu Bozheng.

Chen Yuan, who was standing by the side, knew that Yan Lanfang, a mother and daughter, encountered difficulties on this road of finding their relatives, and the river monster was not the only one!

Among other things, when he just boarded the boat, Yan Lanfang's mother and daughter were targeted by those two scholars and wanted to drive them off the boat. If the boss of the boat didn't protect them, they might have to think of other ways to go to Jianghuai City up.

"I'm sorry for your mother and daughter."

Lu Bozheng didn't call himself an official at this time. Seeing Yan Lanfang's scarred hands and his daughter beside him shouting to hate him, his eyes were full of guilt.

"Bozheng, I can understand that you married another wife for your own future. After you go home and we have discussed it, we can just divorce. Why did you ignore your own flesh and blood, Xiaoqiu, for eight years?"

Yan Lanfang's eyes were full of puzzlement, and she questioned Lu Bozheng.

"This……"

Lu Bozheng was speechless, unable to explain why for a while.

In fact, when he went to Beijing to take the exam and became a student of the emperor in high school, he was favored by a group of high-ranking officials in the capital, and many of them tried their best to win him over.

Among them, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites is the most wooing him, promising not only to help him enter the Ministry of Rites immediately as the head of the Ministry, but also to do his best to train him to be an official career in the future, and is willing to marry his most favored youngest daughter to Lu Bozheng.

On the one hand, after agreeing, he entered the Ministry of Rites as an official, starting from Kyoto, with a bright future in the future, on the other hand, he was sent to a remote place and became a small magistrate, with limited achievements in the future.

After a long time of deliberation, Lu Bozheng agreed to be solicited by the right servant of the Ministry of Rites.

But he was afraid that the right servant of the Ministry of Rites would give up on him after learning that he was married, and miss such a good opportunity to change his fate, so he lied to the other party that he had never been married.

Sure enough, since marrying the servant's daughter and becoming the servant's son-in-law, in the next few years, he can be said to be on the rise.

Just in his early thirties, he has achieved the position of prefect of a prefecture.

As for his former wife and daughter, he left them behind.

For these years, he felt ashamed of his original wife Yan Lanfang and daughter Lu Xiaoqiu even in the dead of night.

But I am even more afraid that their mother and daughter will come to the door and affect my current life.

Especially now the attitude of his wife and his servant Taishan are very important to him.

Everything he has now was obtained with the extreme support of that Taishan.

So last time when Yan Lanfang's mother and daughter came to the door, he didn't even dare to show his face, so he asked his servants to drive Yan Lanfang's mother and daughter out, for fear that his current wife would know about it.

"Forget it, the reason why I want to see you is also because of the obsession in my heart for these years."

"Actually, I already have the answer in my heart."

Seeing that Lu Bo was speechless, Yan Lanfang said disappointedly.

She should have given up hope for this cold-natured gentleman long ago.

"From today onwards, I, Yan Lanfang, will no longer be your wife of Lu Bozheng, and you, Lu Bozheng, will no longer be my husband of Yan Lanfang. You and I are officially separated."

"You don't have to worry anymore, the existence of me and Xiaoqiu will have an impact on your current official position."

Then Yan Lanfang said again.

According to the laws of Dayong, the marriage and divorce need to be negotiated and agreed by both husband and wife, sign documents, both parties must go to the government to register in person, and the government will issue a certificate for them and a series of procedures.

However, according to Lu Bozheng's official position, as long as Yan Lanfang agrees, Lu Bozheng should be able to run it soon.

Hearing Yan Lanfang's words, while Lu Bozheng was relieved, he felt a little lost for a moment.

"I will finish the formalities soon, and you can find another person worthy of entrusting your life to marry, and don't look for such a heartless person like me again."

After a while of silence, Lu Bo was speaking.

Then he turned his eyes to his daughter Lu Xiaoqiu, the shame in his eyes was even worse, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes, and he made a decision.

Lu Bo was saying to his daughter: "Xiaoqiu, when your mother was pregnant in October, your father went out to rush for the exam, so this is the first time he saw you. Dad has been sorry to you all these years, and made you mother and daughter suffer a lot. If you want, you can go with Dad, and Dad will make it up to you."

The girl Lu Xiaoqiu didn't even think about it, she hugged her mother Yan Lanfang's arm: "Xiaoqiu won't go with daddy, daddy's home is not Xiaoqiu's home, Xiaoqiu wants to stay with mother."

Seeing his daughter say this, Lu Bozheng looked a little disappointed and lost.

"Okay, the magistrate has been invited by the poor for a while, so it's time to go back."

Chen Yuan suddenly said.

While speaking, he waved his sleeve robe to Lu Bozheng. Lu Bozheng opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he hesitated to speak.

In the next moment, Lu Bozheng only felt an irresistible gust of wind blowing on him, and the gust of wind blew him into the sky and flew out of the Qingyang Temple.

The surrounding environment changed drastically, and in just a short moment, Lu Bozheng found himself back in the room of Lu Mansion.

He vaguely saw that his current wife was fully dressed, together with the maids in the mansion, calling to him who was sleeping soundly on the bed.

He fell into his body on the bed, and the next moment, Lu Bo was waking up with his eyes open.

"Husband, are you alright?"

"Yeah, uncle, what happened just now, we didn't wake you up no matter what?"

"Are you feeling unwell? I've already sent someone to fetch the doctor. Wait a moment."

Seeing that Lu Bozheng opened his eyes, the people around the bed breathed a sigh of relief, and asked Lu Bozheng one after another.

"What happened? Why are there so many people in the room?"

Lu Bo was looking at the lit candles, the brightly lit room, and the people around the bed, he asked.

"Husband, you just woke me up by yelling in your dream. I was so frightened that I thought you were seriously ill, so I hurriedly called someone over to see how you were doing. Thank God, you are fine."

Lu Bozheng's current wife explained beside him.

Lu Bozheng's current wife is a few years younger than Lu Bozheng, less than thirty years old, with a pair of beautiful red phoenix eyes, soft long hair shawl, and a beautiful woman whose appearance does not belong to Yan Lanfang.

Lu Bozheng's expression changed when he heard the words, and he asked quickly, "Didn't your husband say any other nonsense just now?"

Lu Bozheng's current wife was puzzled and said, "No, what's wrong?"

Lu Bo was feeling relieved: "It's fine if you don't have one."

But thinking of the scene just now, the dream that was so clear in his mind, Lu Bozheng knew that what he had just experienced should be real, not just a dream.

That Taoist Qingming was able to invite him to meet his wife and daughter in his sleep, which can be called a fairy trick.

"It seems that Taoist Changchun is right. This Daoist Qingming was born in Fuhu Temple, and he is indeed an expert walking in the world."

Lu Bozheng let out a long sigh in his heart.
