At the beginning of the day, Xiao Shami came over and said solemnly to Yueyao: "Female donor, Master said that there is a difference between men and women, you can't do morning and evening classes with us, please forgive me." ”

This answer was expected by Yueyao. If it's a man, it's definitely fine, but it's a pity that she's a woman, and the master in charge will definitely not agree. It was impossible for the temple to make an exception for her alone, so Yueyao then asked, "Little Master, did your master answer the matter of borrowing scriptures?" "The latter question should not be difficult.

Xiao Shami nodded and said, "The master said that I can lend you the scriptures, but you can't damage them, if they are damaged or less, they will not lend them to you again in the future." ”

Yue Yao nodded and replied, "Okay, I'll keep it carefully." After a pause, Yueyao said: "Little Master, if there is a master in the temple to teach the Fa, I want to go and listen, I don't know if it will be successful?" ”

After thinking for a while, Xiao Shami said, "There will be many people who will come to listen to the Dharma lectures held by the masters, and there are many female donors, and if the female donors want to listen, there is no hindrance......

Yue Yao was overjoyed, and before Xiao Shami finished speaking, she said, "Little Master, if there is a master in the temple who teaches the Fa, please let me know, I am not familiar with this." ”

The little novice said something to Amitabha, shook his head and said, "Female donor, this master's opening of the altar to teach the Dharma is a big event, if there is really a female donor, she will definitely hear it." However, such a prosperous era is rare once a year, and the female benefactor is afraid that she can't wait. "Even if you open the altar to teach the Fa, it will have to be spring, and whoever will do such a thing in the winter, it is not easy to go to the mountains.

The flower bud went out with the little novice, and told the little novice to ask the monks of the temple to cut the firewood, but their little arms and legs could not be chopped.

Xiao Shami glanced at the flower bud and nodded solemnly: "Female donor, I'll talk to the steward when I go back." "It's not a big deal.

Yueyao is well prepared, she reads books without copying scriptures, and squints again when she is tired of reading, which is very sad. Yue Yao was planning to go around outside in two days to familiarize herself with the outside environment.

Yueying came in a hurry, and didn't bring anything with her except a few changes of clothes. Yueying didn't know what to do in the yard, and she wanted to find Yueyao but was worried about disturbing Yueyao. I want to go out, but I'm worried, and I'm not familiar with it outside, so I can't call for help if something happens.

Yueying had only been on the mountain for a day, and she deeply felt the boredom of the mountain.

At the beginning of the year, Xiao Shami sent Yue Yao the twelve scriptures she wanted, and instructed: "Female donor, the master said that I will come and retrieve them in five days." Amitabha. Xiao Shami felt that the master was a little strong, and the twelve scriptures were copied in five days, which was too rushed.

Yue Yao smiled and let him stuff a small bag for Xiao Shami. After the little novice went out, he opened it and saw that it was peanut candy. Little Novice grew up in the temple and received gold, silver and jewelry, but it was still rare for him to receive snacks such as pastries and peanut candy.

The mouth of the eater is short, the hand is short, and the bud attitude is very good, the little novice has a very good impression of their main servants, and said: "Don't worry, the female benefactor, I have already told the senior brother who sent the firewood, and he promised to get all the firewood in order and send it over." ”

The buds bloom with joy.

Xiao Shami said while eating candy: "This female benefactor is interesting. ”

Yueyao went to Yueying's house, smiled and showed Yueying the scriptures sent by Xiao Shami, and said, "Eldest sister, I borrowed twelve scriptures from the master of the temple. Master promised me five days to finish copying these scriptures. ”

This is not a difficult thing for the monks of Zhaohua Temple, but it is a troublesome thing for ordinary people. The scriptures are obscure and difficult to read, so copying them is a time-consuming task, and copying twelve scriptures in five days is obviously a torturous chore.

Yueying didn't think much about it, and directly asked for six copies, and she thought very simply, half for one person. Yueyao felt that Yueying had taken too much, and said, "Eldest sister, I often copy scriptures, and I copy them relatively quickly. You take a copy first, and then you can get it from me when you're done. "Yueyao is kind, in terms of the speed of copying scriptures, Yueying is definitely not as good as her, not to mention that these scriptures are made by Yueyao herself, she is so familiar that she can write them down without reading the scriptures.

Yueying naturally didn't agree, and Yueyao didn't argue with her. Yueying put the scriptures on the table and remembered that she didn't bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and went to Yueyao with a red face: "Third sister, I came in a hurry, I didn't bring anything, can my sister borrow me pen, ink, paper and inkstone." ”

Yueyao glanced at Yueying in surprise, she came to the mountain to eat fasting and recite Buddha and copy scriptures, but she didn't even bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and she didn't know what mood she was in and how she came to fulfill her filial piety? Yueyao asked Hua Bud to take useless pen and ink from the cage and give it to Yueying.

Yueying buried herself in copying for an hour, her arm was sore, she put down the pen and asked Cai Qing: "What are the three girls doing?" ”

Cai Qing went out for a while and said, "Girl, the third girl is also copying scriptures. Cai Qing was a little worried in her heart, the third girl was very patient, from yesterday to now, she didn't complain at all, she quietly did the morning class and borrowed scriptures to copy, and she adapted to the life of the temple at once; Looking at my own girl, there are so many problems in such a short period of time. Cai Qing is worried about whether her girl will be able to survive these two months? If you can't stand it, it's self-defeating.

Yueyao borrowed the twelve scriptures she was familiar with for a purpose, first let the master in charge see her integrity and leave a good impression; It would be easier to wait later to offer to borrow some precious scriptures; Wait for the right opportunity to see if you can meet the eminent monks of the monastery.

During lunch, Yueying asked cautiously, "Third sister, how much have you copied?" I've only copied twelve pages. ”

Yueyao replied, "It's okay, I don't copy much." "From the time I gave the moon to the present time, it has not been an hour, and it is not a lot to copy twelve pages.

Qiao Lan's eyes were a little surprised. If she remembered correctly, there were only a few pages left in the scripture that the girl had copied, and there was no comparison, but if there was a comparison, the gap would be revealed.

In the afternoon, it was Cai Lan's turn to twist her feet to carry water, and when it was time for dinner, her shoulders, waist, feet and other parts were painful, anyway, her whole body hurt, and she said to Yueyao: "Third girl, I can't do the job of carrying water." ”

Yueyao's hand in the vegetables paused, as if she hadn't heard this, and continued to pick up the vegetables.

Cai Lan really couldn't stand it, if she came back for another day, she would definitely be tired to death, and continued: "Third girl, I think Mother Hao can carry water, I really can't pick it." Three girls, I can go to the kitchen to help. ”

Hao's mother was still busy in the kitchen at this time, and if she was here, she would definitely roll her eyes. Hua Bud rolled her eyes on one side, this errand of carrying water was chosen by themselves and not arranged by the girl.

Cai Lan saw that Yueyao ignored her, so she could only ask Yueying for help. Yueying didn't dare to speak when she looked at Yueyao's indifferent expression, and the scene was very quiet.

After a long while, Yue Yao gently put the chopsticks on the bowl and asked softly, "Then what can you do here?" The voice was so soft that it could only be heard by a few people present.

Cai Lan looked at Yueyao's expression, there was anger in her heart, and she said rudely: "I came to the mountain to serve our girl, not to do these rough jobs." ”

Yue Yao chuckled, her smile was full of sarcasm, and she turned to Yue Ying and said, "What did the eldest sister say?" ”

Cai Lan has just shown the blood blisters on her red and swollen shoulders and feet to Yueying, and these Cai Qing also have them, but Cai Qing's condition is better than Cai Lan. These two are personal maids who have been with her for many years, and she is also distressed when she sees her, Yueying whispered: "Third sister, since Mother Hao can carry water, let Mother Hao pick it!" ”

Hua Bud glanced at Yueying strangely, then lowered her head and didn't speak, the master didn't have the right to interject from their maids.

Yueyao put down the dishes and chopsticks in her hand, and said with a smile: "Eldest sister means to let my housekeeper mother do her work?" ”

Yueying was a little embarrassed, and finally whispered: "Third sister, Cai Lan and Cai Qing's shoulders are red and purple, and there are blood blisters on their feet, they can't bear this hardship." ”

Yue Yao smiled and said, "What the eldest sister means, my housekeeper mother and personal maid are people who are born to endure hardships. Not only to serve our sister, but also to serve her? After a pause, he said, "Don't you think that your mother and the maid don't say a word and think that they have done it, Qiaolan, show the two of them your hands?" "The two of them chopped wood today, and they also had blood blisters on their hands, but they didn't say anything.

Yueying hesitated for a moment, and finally said to Cai Lan: "You continue to carry water tomorrow, and it will be fine in two days." ”

When Cai Lan heard this, she fell to the ground crying, and cried, "Girl, I really can't do it." Girl, change me for an errand! ”

Yueying glanced at Yueyao, and when she saw Yueyao, she didn't say anything, only said to herself: "Then what errand do you want?" ”

Yueying glanced at Yueyao, and when she saw Yueyao, she didn't say anything, only said to herself: "Then what errand do you want?" ”

Hua Bud will want to roll her eyes, feeling that this is the stage you have set up, sing together!

Cai Lan thought about it for a long time, chopping firewood would definitely not be chosen, cooking was more light, and replied: "I also learned cooking skills for two days, I will change it with Hao's mother." ”

Yueyao didn't refuse: "If you want to change it, you can change it, as long as you can do it." If you can't do it, pick up the work of carrying water. ”

After dinner, Yueyao went out of the courtyard and prepared to go outside for a walk. The roads of the houses here are paved with stone steps, and the flat areas are covered with sand. The soft embroidered shoes that Yueyao wore were a little rustling on the sand, which was why she was particularly uncomfortable when picking blue and carrying water.

Yue Yao walked for about two minutes, standing on the edge of a stone and looking at the surrounding scenery, the valley was gloomy and green, and there was no trace of depression in the October sky.

A gust of wind blew, and all the trees were staggered, which was more domineering than the strong wind felt in the capital.

Yue Yao trembled a little when she saw the flower buds, and said, "Go back!" "If you go any further, I'm afraid that the flower buds will catch a cold. There was a shortage of doctors and medicines on this mountain, and Yue Yao remembered that they didn't bring backup medicinal materials.

Pointing to the distance, he said, "Girl, what is that thing that looks like fire?" ”

Yue Yao smiled: "That's a maple tree, and in autumn, the leaves of the maple tree are so red that they look like flames from afar. Flower buds, the scenery here is beautiful, right? Looking at the undulating peaks, she felt her heart open.

Hua Bud nodded again and again: "Beautiful, girl, very beautiful." Seeing that Yueyao was going back, Hua Bud hurriedly said, "Girl, let's take a look!" I'm not cold. ”

Yue Yao saw that the flower buds were not strong, so she continued to climb up, climbing to a flat and open place, Yue Yao saw that this place was made by someone, otherwise it would not be square. Yue Yao said to herself: "It's good, you can take the sketchpad here to pick up the scenery in the future." ”

Yue Yao lingered for a moment and then went back.

Hua Bud whispered to Qiao Lan while Yue Yao was copying the scriptures: "Sister Qiao Lan, do you think we have something to eat tomorrow?" "Cai Qing is better, Cai Lan is like **, as long as she can cook, Hua Bud feels very mysterious.

When Yue Yao copied the scriptures, she looked at them at random and began to copy them, saying that it was better to copy them than to write them silently.

Hua Bud and Qiao Lan both felt that Yueyao was a little fast, but Hao's mother asked directly: "Why does the girl write without reading the scriptures?" Aren't you afraid of making mistakes? ”

Yueyao didn't explain too much: "I've already seen it just now." ”

Hao's mother opened her mouth and asked, "Can the girl never forget?" She had always heard that the three girls were very smart, but she hadn't heard that the three girls had never forgotten!

Yue Yao shook her head and said, "No, it's just that I have learned the trick by copying more scriptures, so it is easy to remember when I copy other scriptures." The fact that she had copied so many books was the best excuse. However, in order to prevent them from being suspicious, Yueyao occasionally looks at it.

Because the scriptures borrowed this time are relatively thin, Yue Yao has already copied two in one day. This is because Yue Yao read a book for an hour in the afternoon, and went out for a walk after dinner, if she copied from morning to evening, she could definitely copy four scriptures.

Yueyao practiced calligraphy until late at night, and the night on the mountain was a little cold. Hua Bud said worriedly, "I don't know if they will send charcoal fire." "It's a little unbearable now, and in two days when the weather is cold, you will definitely need to use charcoal fire.

Qiao Lan was not worried, and said, "Just mention it to the steward tomorrow." "Qiaolan is not worried that Lianfu will not send charcoal, but she is afraid that what will be sent is not good. The girl had been using silver frost charcoal last year, and if she gave ordinary charcoal, it would be easy to smoke her eyes.

Yueying copied it until midnight, and halfway through the scripture was not finished. Hearing Cai Lan say that Yue Yao was asleep, Yue Ying glanced at the scripture sadly, and her arm was about to break after copying it for so long, and there are still five copies of it, can she finish copying it in four days? It's mysterious.

On the second day, Yueyao started to do morning classes at the end of the day, and walked silently with Qiaolan and Hao's mother, so she was afraid of disturbing Yueyao.

Hua Bud muttered to Qiao Lan: "I don't know if I see the girl's posture, I still think the girl is ......" She didn't dare to say the latter words, it was too unlucky.

Qiao Lan tapped the forehead of the flower bud and said, "Remember to lock your mouth when you speak." "There are some things that you can't just say.

The next day, when the au pair began, Cai Lan learned that the kitchen was not only about cooking, but also about boiling hot water for the two girls.

Cai Lan has never done any work in the kitchen, and Cai Qing has never done it, and the two of them haven't lit the fire for a long time, and their mother, who went to fetch water, came to teach her.

Hua Bud and Qiao Lan came together yesterday to help Hao's mother work, and today the two of them got up early, but they cowered in the yard and couldn't come out, just because they were worried that Cai Qing would ask them for help.

Hao's mother had a good heart and was ready to teach the two of them, but she was called back by Hua Bud. After Yue Yao found out, she said lightly: "It's okay to let them be frustrated, don't interfere." "Yueyao is not careful, she really thinks that Cailan, a girl, is bold and fat, and Yueying is also unprincipled, and she will be placed by a maid.

Mother Hao naturally wouldn't disobey Yueyao's words and stay in the house and not go out. Cai Lan left and right, etc., no one waits, no need to guess to know that it is the third girl who is holding people.

Cai Lan's face was full of anger, but she didn't have the courage to make trouble when she thought of Yueyao, so she did it honestly at the moment. It's a pity that neither of them is good at cooking, and all the boiled noodles are mushy and the porridge is all mushy. The porridge can barely make up the number, anyway, a few of them eat it, but the noodles can't be made, let the two girls eat such unpalatable noodles and don't scold her to death, especially the three girls, Cai Lan was stunned when she thought about it.

Yue Yao did the morning class and copied the scriptures for most of the hour, looking at the sky, what time has it been and she hasn't made breakfast yet.

Before Yueyao could speak, Yueying went to the kitchen. Before I even got to the kitchen, I was smoked out. Yueying's face was ugly, and she asked, "What are you two doing?" ”

Cai Lan came out of the kitchen with a grim face, and said, "Girl, wait a minute, it will be all right soon." ”

Yue Yao looked at the confused noodles in the bowl, her brows furrowed, and she didn't eat it again after taking a bite and swallowing it. Under normal circumstances, Yueyao will not waste food, but this noodle is really difficult to swallow.

Yueying took a bite and vomited directly, she was already hungry, but now she eats such an unpalatable thing, and she feels ashamed in front of Yueyao, so she is angry at the moment, and she says, "What is this?" Is this something that people eat? Yes? ”

Cai Lan almost cried and whispered, "I'll do it again." ”

Hua Bud said coolly: "You remade the noodles three times this morning, wasted three packs of noodles, and the mansion sent a number of things, you waste it like this, we will definitely be hungry at the end of the month." ”

Cai Lan said simply: "I don't make it delicious, Hao's mother makes it delicious, so let Hao's mother do it." ”

Hua Bud smiled and said, "Yesterday, who said that you can't pick up water, and then you took over the kitchen work, and you changed your mind one morning." ”

Yueying didn't want to continue to be hungry, so she discussed: "Third sister, let's let Hao's mother take charge of the cooking, right?" ”

Yue Yao didn't object, nodded and said, "Then she should carry water!" ”

Cai Lan was willing to carry water, and said hurriedly: "Girl, I will definitely be able to cook." ”

Yueying still wanted to speak, but Yueyao stood up and said, "You have to cook, but you can't waste food anymore." "Yueyao's meaning is obvious, everything given at noon has a fixed portion, and it will definitely not be ruined by picking blue again.

Caiqing's head will be lowered to the ground.

Yueyao hadn't eaten all morning, she was very hungry, but she didn't speak, and she didn't let Hao's mother go to the kitchen to cook food for her. What's more, she also brought some food to eat, such as sugar cubes, red dates, and peanuts. These things were originally eaten by the buds on the road, and the maids around Yueyao had a very good life, and there were a lot of snacks and so on.

Yueyao still has something to cushion her stomach, and Yueying can't bear it here. Yueying rummaged through the cabinets and didn't find anything to eat, rubbing her hungry empty stomach. Cai Lan will not dare to sow discord anymore, and honestly go to make lunch.

At the end of the day, I started lunch.

Yue Yao looked at the yellow burnt rice and didn't say a word.

Yueying took a bite and said angrily: "You don't make good things on weekdays, why are they so unpalatable now?" "Yueying, this is the fault of picking blue for them, in the past, Cai Lan went to the kitchen to cook, and the ingredients were all made by the chef. Cai Lan just used her mouth to direct the cook how to do it, and she didn't cook at all. Although the cook is dissatisfied, she won't do what Cai Lan said, and if the food is too bad to eat and ruin her reputation, the kitchen can't stay. Today, she picked Lan herself, lighting the fire, washing rice, and stir-frying, all of which she came by herself.

Cai Lan also said aggrievedly: "Girl, we can't help it." I begged Hao's mother for help, but they didn't help. "It's not just for your own girls, the three girls are also hungry!

Bud laughed and said, "Why should we help you?" ”

Yueying didn't look good, so she couldn't help but discuss with Yueyao, and said softly: "Third sister, you just let Mother Hao and Hua Bud do it!" Their craftsmanship is really not good, and if they continue like this, they will starve to death. "She just couldn't stand it.

Yue Yao said lightly: "It doesn't matter if you haven't done it, it's delicious to make it twice more." "Yueyao won't take care of all these things just because the food they cook is unpalatable.

Yueying didn't know how to speak anymore. Cai Lan gritted her teeth and said, "Third girl, we can't cook the food, but I can do it by picking vegetables, washing rice, washing clothes, and cleaning the yard." "Blue picking only picks up light work.

Cai Qing bowed her head and did not speak.

Yueying didn't want to eat such an unpalatable meal anymore, and she was about to starve to death at this time, so she said: "Third sister, except for carrying water and chopping firewood and cooking, the other chores are all done by the two of them, and the kitchen should be taken care of by Mother Hao!" ”

Yueyao didn't fight with Yueying anymore, looked at Cai Lan and Cai Qing and asked, "Except for carrying water and chopping firewood for cooking, you have all the rest?" ”

Cai Qing was reluctant, but Cai Lan quickly answered: "Yes." ”

Yueyao didn't talk any more nonsense, and turned to Yueying and said: "Eldest sister, this is the last time, if your maids can't do it anymore, either you let them go back, or we will take care of the three meals or something, don't mix and match together." ”

Cai Qing's heart twitched, and when it came to this, they couldn't go back on it, and they could only choose one of the two paths when the time came.

Yueying's face was ugly, and Yueyao was threatening her.

Yueyao has only learned about Yueying's temperament in the past few days, Yueying looks good at talking, but this premise is not to threaten her interests, once she threatens her own interests, she will not give an inch.

Hao's mother got Yueyao's words, so she went to the kitchen to cook two bowls of noodles. After the moon was three times and five divided by two, the noodles were eaten, and there was no soup left. If it weren't for maintaining this face, she would still want a bowl, but she really didn't eat enough.

Hao's mother was understanding and asked, "Big girl, there is still a kitchen, shall I add some more to you?" Seeing that Yueying didn't say anything, she looked at Yueyao on the side and said, "Girl, do you want to add more?" ”

Yueyao nodded: "Add me half a bowl!" ”

Yueying handed the bowl out, and at noon that day, everyone ate noodles.

After finishing the meal, Hua Bud looked at Cai Lan and said, "These dishes and chopsticks are cleaned up." "Anyway, these chores are all done by them, and what they say has to be fulfilled.

Cai Lan took the dishes and chopsticks to wash, washed his hands full of grease stains, cleaned the kitchen after washing the dishes and chopsticks, and asked them to sweep the fallen leaves in the yard after finishing, so angry that Cai Lan wanted to get rid of it.

Qiao Lan said with a cool snort: "There are no people who eat dry rice here. After saying that, he turned around and went back to the kitchen, and smiled at the flower bud.

Cai Lan finally got free, ran to the house and complained to Yueying: "Girl, the third girl doesn't take you seriously. Anyway, you're a sister and don't respect you at all. The third girl disrespects the lady in the mansion, and the eldest sister does not respect the eldest sister outside. ”

Yueying shook her head and said, "I forced it to come over." "It's certain to say that she is dissatisfied, Yue Yao didn't take her in her eyes at all, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to treat her maid like this, but this time she was at a loss, and she didn't have the confidence to argue with Yue Yao.

The fire in Cai Lan's heart, how did he meet such a soft master.
