Chapter 001: Mercy
"Hey, Sister Frangipani, why did you say that the girl worshipped for so long? Didn't you hate these gods and ghosts the most in the past?"
"Silence it! The girl has her own girl's reasoning, and you talk a lot!"
"......Shh
Two deliberately suppressed coquettish voices woke up the girl on the kneeling cushion, the long and curly eyelashes trembled slightly, Zhou Mingshan slowly opened her eyes and looked at the golden Buddha statue on the front of her.
With a smile on his face, holding a lotus flower in his hand, dignified and kind, looking down on all living beings.
When she woke up early yesterday morning, Zhou Mingshan found out that something was wrong!
The strange and familiar room, with the voices and faces that only appeared in distant memories, she thought she was dreaming!
But can a person who drinks poisoned wine still dream if he doesn't die?
Maybe someone saved her, but who would save him? The only frangipani who followed her also died to protect her!
Half-believing and observant of the surrounding Yiqi, like a puppet being matched, Zhou Mingshan was freshened up by the girls and had breakfast.
It wasn't until she smelled the scent of her once favorite mille-feuille filigree on the dinner table that she had doubts. Then when she touched the burst of heat from the warm palm of Su Xin, Zhou Mingshan finally understood that it was not a dream, she was back to when she was thirteen years old!
Zhou Mingshan couldn't remember the feeling at that moment, first frightened, then happy, and finally began to lose her voice and suffer!
It wasn't until she alarmed her mother Yuan that she choked and fell asleep in the other party's warm arms!
When she woke up again, the sun had set, and this was the most fragrant and satisfying sleep she had since she left home and entered the palace!
Later, when her mother asked her why she was crying, she was silent for a long time, and finally passed with a nightmare!
It's not that I haven't thought about suing my mother, but I just think about my mother's temperament, instead of making my mother worry in vain, it is better for her to strangle everything in the cradle!
When she learned that Mrs. Wen would bring people to the Temple of Mercy and Grace for incense today, she insisted on grinding Wen to bring her on the grounds that her mother had been unwell recently.
When she arrived at the Temple of Mercy and Grace, smelling the familiar incense, she subconsciously walked to the main hall and knelt in front of the Buddha statue. Looking at the still majestic Bodhisattva statue, Zhou Mingshan's heart slowly calmed down!
That cup of poisoned wine didn't poison her, she really came back!
Thinking of those hellish days, even if she was as insensitive as a zombie, Zhou Mingshan couldn't help but tremble slightly!
She couldn't believe that after suffering so many sins and so many insults, she could actually start again!
Fortunately, there is still time to change!
Raising his head slightly to suppress the sourness surging in his eyes, Zhou Mingshan secretly clenched his fists, leaned over again and kowtowed respectfully three times before getting up.
"Oh, girl, be careful!"
Hongyun trotted past Frangipani in a few steps, stretched out his hand to support Zhou Mingshan, who almost fell back into his seat, and kept nagging: "Goodbye, it's good that your heart has arrived, girl, even if you don't think about the slaves, you have to think about the third grandmother! If you hurt a little oily skin, the third grandmother will worry again!"
"It's okay, just rest for a while!" Zhou Mingshan tugged at the corners of her mouth, sure enough, she was still pampered, if she had been put aside, no one would have to help her even if she knelt for two or three more hours, and she still had to carry water, cook, and clean the yard when she got up, and she would not be idle for a moment!
"Girl, it's getting darker and darker, I don't know if it's going to snow, beware of catching a cold!" Frangipani unfolded a big red gorilla felt cloak and quickly put it on for Zhou Mingshan, while not forgetting to hand a hand stove in her arms.
This is the mother Yuan's special case to go to the main courtyard to take care of her big girl Su Xin, the young and delicate face in front of her, and the wrinkled old woman gradually overlapped, and slowly separated, Zhou Mingshan couldn't help but respond like when she was a child: "Thank you Sister Su Xin for thinking about everything!"
Frangipani bowed slightly, still the gentle and thoughtful big girl.
Zhou Mingshan sighed and took the lead out of the hall.
Because it was the winter moon and the sky was dark, the entire Ci'en Temple was shrouded in a gray scenery, and even the glazed tiles that were dazzling in the past had lost their color, but the stone lions on the doorpost were still majestic and majestic in the halls of the guardians, and the sound of monks chanting was faintly heard in the distant scripture hall.
Zhou Mingshan didn't bother to look at it anymore, and returned to the house before the crystal snowflakes began to drift away.
Sitting on the couch, Zhou Mingshan held the teacup, looking at the green young leaves at the bottom of the cup in a daze through the mist above.
Since you have to make up your mind to change your fate, you have to think about where to start, but the memories of the thirteen years old in your previous life are too few!
"Girl......"
When Lu Yun entered the door with the food box, what he saw was Zhou Mingshan sitting there biting his lip and contemplating, his black hair was casually lost into a hanging bun, and his jade-like skin reflected his smooth forehead, just like a person in a painting.
She knew that the four girls were very good-looking, but every time she looked at them, she always felt as if they were more beautiful again. The girls privately said that she was good-looking, even better than the girls in the house, but she felt that compared with the four girls, she was like the clouds in the sky and the mud on the ground, which was still far behind!
She subconsciously lowered her voice, gently put the food box on the table, and took out the porcelain plate with delicate dots inside.
"Girl, let's cushion first, there are many people in the temple today, and you may have to wait for the meal!"
"Well, let it go!" Interrupted by his train of thought, Zhou Mingshan nodded, without showing a trace of affection.
Picking up a piece of almond honey and taking a bite, Zhou Mingshan chewed slowly like eating steamed buns when she was hungry in Chongshou Nunnery, and swallowed it slowly, the crispy sweetness slid from her tongue down her throat to her stomach, how long has it been since she tasted such a delicate snack?
After taking a small bite of the dim sum in his hand, and rubbing his hands with a handkerchief, Zhou Mingshan asked: "When I first came back, I saw that the yard next door was moving things, did anyone live in it?"
Green Cloud was lowering her head and wondering why the girl was so weird today, and the way she ate dim sum looked so elegant, as if she had changed someone!
As soon as she heard Zhou Mingshan's question, she couldn't think about it anymore, and hurriedly said: "Oh, Sister Hongyun just said that it was the female dependents of the Xianguo Mansion who came to worship the Buddha and was packing up her things, I heard that it was a big pomp, bigger than the pomp of the lady!"
Zhou Mingshan's heart moved, and he asked quietly, "Who are they?"
Lu Yun lowered his head and replied: "It seems that the prince of the world came with Mrs. Tai!" Thinking of the way Sister Hongyun talked about the dancing eyes of the prince of Xianguo just now, and she also went to the front yard to peek together, Lu Yun subconsciously lowered his head. Although they would discuss in private how handsome and powerful the prince of Xianguo was, they still didn't mention it well in front of the girl.
After getting the information she wanted to know, Zhou Mingshan was in a good mood and said to Lu Yun: "The dim sum I brought today is delicious, let your sister frangipani reward you in a while!"
Isn't it the same as the one you do on weekdays? Green Cloud was puzzled, scratched his head and withdrew.
"Smack"!
Zhou Mingshan stood up with a high-five, almost tripped over a chair in excitement, and shook it twice before he stabilized his body, and his white face faintly revealed a hint of pink because of excitement!
The Duchess of Xianguo is really here!
Great! God gave her this opportunity!
