The next day, the four of them moved to the long-abandoned courtyard in the southwest corner.

This courtyard originally had a master, the master was a concubine of the old marquis, somehow was sent here to live, three years ago the old marquis died, the concubine became a monk, and this courtyard was idle.

After Liu Yunxiang married into the Hou Mansion, she had not seen this concubine, she had been in this courtyard, and the courtyard door was locked and no one was allowed to disturb her.

A secret door was opened on the west side of this courtyard, and after the secret door, it was the alley behind the Hou Mansion.

Therefore, this courtyard is more like a courtyard independent from the Hou Mansion, with this secret door, the concubine's room can not go to the front yard at all.

It's very clean.

The weeds in the courtyard are very high, and when you walk into the house, the furniture is also very shabby, but it exudes a sense of tranquility.

The green gauze tent, the stepping bed, the Bodhisattva statue in front of the three incense.

Jinyan took Zijin and Xiaowu to clean up, and Liu Yunxiang was placed outside to bask in the sun. By the time the sun went down, it was almost cleaned up.

Just as he was about to take a breath, the housekeeper walked in with two nursing homes.

"Steward Li, what are you doing so aggressively?"

When the housekeeper saw Liu Yunxiang, he coughed dryly first, and then said, "The kitchen was burglarized last night." ”

"Oh?"

"Stealing a bag of rice. ”

Liu Yunxiang squinted: "You caught the thief in my courtyard, and it was just for a bag of rice?"

The second lady said, since the family is divided, the third lady doesn't want to take another grain of rice from the Hou Mansion. Even if you are poor enough to be a beggar one day, don't go to the door of the Hou Mansion to beg for food. ”

"She borrowed this bag of rice to beat me, but she also gave it to her, and when she is down, don't think about asking me for a bowl of rice. You bring these words to the old lady and the two ladies, no matter what happens to me Liu Yunxiang in the future, I will not be able to ask for it in front of them!"

Only they begged her for her share!

The housekeeper waved his hand and asked the two nurses to go in and search.

Zijin held a sword in front of the door, and Jinyan and Xiao Wu also opened their arms to block it.

"Let them search!" Liu Yunxiang said.

"Madam, they're too bullying!"

"Don't cry, bear with this breath. ”

Liu Yunxiang spoke, and Zijin and the others could only get out of the way. Steward Li took the two guards into the house and searched it, and turned over the house they had just tidied up, but not a single grain of rice was turned out.

"Third lady, offended. After Steward Li finished speaking, he smiled again, "But let go of the thieves, we have to build a high wall at the entrance of your courtyard, do you have no opinion?"

Liu Yunxiang shook his head and smiled, "If you're not afraid of trouble, then just do it." ”

Build a wall, and she will be clean.

That night, Steward Li took the people from the house and began to build the wall.

Seeing that the wall was pulled out of the ground, high above the courtyard wall, and still being built up.

Wait until the next morning, look at the wall again, and you can't see the corner tower, the trees in the distance, and the scenery of the Hou Mansion can't be seen.

"I'm going to push the wall!" said Jin Yan.

Liu Yunxiang looked at this high wall, but he was in a very good mood, "Be careful about smoking, roast lamb chops at noon, I've wanted to eat for a long time." ”

"Huh?"

"Whatever we eat, they can only smell it over there, so how good this wall is. ”

Thinking about that scene, I couldn't help but laugh.

"Okay, let's eat roast lamb chops at noon, the slave has been in the kitchen for a few years, and the craftsmanship is still good. They must be roasted and fragrant, and they will be hungry. ”

Liu Yunxiang gave a bag of silver to Jinyan, "You have to buy more meat and vegetables to come back, if the meat can't be preserved, it will be dried into jerky, marinated into salted meat, and some vegetables can be stored for a long time." I estimate that it will take a month for Shengjing to survive this famine. ”

Jin Yan nodded, "The slave knows, you can rest assured." ”

Before the famine came, Liu Yunxiang looked at the high wall in front of the courtyard with peace of mind, looked at the rice urn full of rice, looked at the dried meat and a can of cured meat, looked at the firewood stacked into a hill, and looked at the three girls around him.

But within two days of peace of mind, an edict came down, asking her and several officials to accompany the Queen Mother to Ziyun Nunnery to eat and pray for blessings, and she was stupid.

I didn't have this in my last life!

Ke Yizhi was sent to the Hou Mansion and asked her to go by name, but she had to accept the order.

The second lady Xue looked at this edict with a little jealousy, "The other officials are either princesses or have been ordained, it can be seen how honorable it is to accompany the queen mother to pray for blessings, if you choose a lady from our Jing'an Hou Mansion, it shouldn't be her." ”

In fact, Liu Yunxiang also felt very strange, why did he choose her.

The old lady had insight into everything, raised her eyes and glanced at Liu Yunxiang, and said: "This rain has been lingering for several days, and it has not sunny, I heard that the avenue into Beijing has been washed away, and I am afraid that it will cause a natural disaster." The Queen Mother believes in Buddhism, and whenever there is a vision in the sky, she will go to Ziyun Nunnery to pray for blessings. But the Buddha is always there, but her old man can not often serve in front of the Buddha, in order to show sincerity, the Queen Mother will bring an official family every time she prays, this official family is generally a widow, no children are involved, and so on after the Queen Mother returns to Beijing, she will continue to stay in the nunnery, and serve the Buddha all her life. ”

Xue Shi was taken aback, "Mo is not like Aunt Yan......"

Liu Yunxiang was stunned.

This is to send her to be a nun!
