Chapter 570: Guess
"This donor, the small nunnery is simple, there is no good baby hall, and the donor asked the wrong question." It was obviously close at hand, but the voice of the old nun seemed to float from the grave.
The so-called Good Baby Hall is a place dedicated to the adoption of abandoned babies, most of which are undertaken by monasteries or wealthy believers, and some of these children will be taken away by childless families, and some will stay and grow up in the temple.
This old nun is clearly confused.
The corners of Linglong's mouth were hooked, revealing a sweet smile, and her voice was also sweet and delicate: "Huiqing, you don't even have a heritage, and you dare to claim to be the abbot here?" ”
Like a stone falling into the pool, not only the old nun, but also the four maids standing behind Linglong also opened their mouths in shock.
The old nun was even more stunned, her hands clenched into fists like dead tree bark, then released again, and then clenched again.
Linglong's gaze swept over her hands, and the smile on her face grew.
"The nuns here are dead, they are running, if they are in the wilderness, it is fine, but it is near the capital, and the good nunnery has become a ghost house, and this matter cannot be concealed if you want to, but fortunately, you are a sensible person, and you resolutely took this stall, with you as a witness, the nearby believers are convinced that the dry things are dry, burning incense and walking water."
"Since you are the only survivor of Wuyi'an, and you are already middle-aged, the yamen is willing to make big things small, and it will come naturally, I'm afraid that even you didn't expect that the abbot's documents would be issued soon, and you would naturally become the abbot here."
"It's a pity that you don't have the ability of those teachers in Shuiyue Nunnery, although there are good believers who help you rebuild the nunnery, but your Taoism is too low, and this nunnery will never be the same as it used to be."
Linglong glanced at the old nun as she spoke, and saw that her face was getting more and more ugly, and by the end, it was already a dead ash.
Linglong was like a mischievous child, and proudly made up another knife: "You used to live in the Wuyi Nunnery, helping the nunnery to do some rough work, so as not to let people say that you eat and live here for nothing." ”
Lao Ni looked at Linglong in surprise, and the two shriveled lips were one after another, like fish out of water, and it took a while before he spoke: "How do you know?" ”
Linglong smiled dryly: "Guess." ”
Guess?
Xingyu and Bai Lu looked at each other, their mouths had been open since just now, and now they were even bigger, and they could stuff an egg.
The princess ran to the prince yesterday to make a big fuss, and put on her face in front of the eldest lady Nie, which was not enough, and she came all the way to such a small nunnery to find trouble.
This old nun provokes anyone, even if this abbot is not rightly named, people will not use your princess Rui to support him.
So Xingyu and Bai Lu agreed that the princess was angry with the princess and the third lady.
I was so angry that I began to get angry and died.
Linglong had already pulled out her legs and left, and the four maids were stunned and hurriedly followed.
As soon as he walked a few steps, he heard the old nun shouting behind him, "Who are you from that girl?" ”
Linglong let out a long sigh and finally took the bait.
Therefore, she has also learned from Yan Xu in the past year.
When she was a thief in her previous life, she didn't understand this.
First let you be in the fog and feel worried, and then throw an olive branch to tempt you to say what is in your heart, of course you are still in the seven and eight times, so only say the fur, at this time to scare you again, cut your last straw, see that you are like a puddle of mud, then throw a few carrots, by the way to draw a big cake.
Alas, these princes have learned how to calculate since their mother's womb, and each one is worse than the other, which is really bad, and she has been taught badly.
None of the four maids knew what the princess and the old nun named Huiqing had said, and the two talked for a long time in the meditation room, until Jin Wuxi sank, and Mrs. Huiqing sent Linglong out respectfully.
Linglong's face was as usual, and she said to Xingyu: "Don't you have five hundred taels?" It's all incense money. ”
Xingyu was startled, the princess already knew that this old nun was coming in the wrong way, why did she still give so much silver?
At the beginning, he said that he would give 200 taels, but I don't know what kind of soup the old nun poured into the princess, and 200 taels became 500 taels.
The prince gave five hundred taels.
Linglong saw her hesitation, and said, "It's not our silver, so what's reluctant." ”
Yes, this silver was given by the prince
But what the prince gave, that is the princess's, this is still ours.
Xingyu felt that her head was a mess of paste, since Sister Haitang went to Sweetwater Lane to get married, her brain was becoming more and more insufficient.
Until she got into the carriage on the way back, Xingyu was still asking: "Since the old nun is not the real abbot, she got so much silver at once, will she run?" ”
Linglong looked at her helplessly: "She's old, and she can't run anymore if she wants to." ”
Huiqing was originally a widow who fled the famine, only alone, and when she was about to starve to death, she learned that there was a Wuyi Nunnery nearby, although it was only a medium nunnery, but it had always been supported by large families in Beijing, and the abbot of the nunnery was a kind-hearted person, and often took in some homeless women and children.
Huiqing came to Wuyi Nunnery, originally wanted to become a nun, and since then she has no worries about food and clothing, but the abbot saw that she was over fifty years old, and she was stupid, and she was not a person who could learn Buddhism, so she only asked her to help do some trivial things.
On that day, the master in the nunnery asked her to go to a nearby village to bring food to an old woman who had no children and no daughters, and often brought her some food in the nunnery. Huiqing saw that the old woman was really pitiful, so she cooked a meal for the old woman before coming back, at this time it was late, the old woman was not worried that she would go back alone, so she stayed for one night, and she escaped.
When she came back, she learned that Wuyi'an was in the water.
The nunnery is gone, and she doesn't even have a place to last live.
She had no choice but to leave here, begging everywhere, and when she returned here half a year later, she found that the nunnery was still in ruins, and she knew that the nunnery was gone, not even a little nun who could inherit the mantle.
As soon as she had an idea, she shaved her own degree, and according to the seniority in the Wuyi Nunnery, she took the legal name Huiqing, and she took the alderivation in the village within a radius of ten miles to rebuild the nunnery.
But she begged for money and got limited money, and it was far away to rebuild the nunnery.
On that day, she knelt on the ruins of the nunnery, and two carriages passed by, and a woman dressed as a servant of a large family threw her a purse, saying that her wife had taken pity on her and donated it to her to rebuild the nunnery.
Before she could ask the name of the good man, the two carriages flew away.
She opened her purse and saw that there was a roll of silver tickets, each of which was thirty taels, a full ten.
For her, three hundred taels of silver was a huge amount of money, and she did not dare to slack off, and soon built a nunnery in the same place, although it was not of the previous scale, but she had a place to live.
Soon, the news of her rebuilding the nunnery spread, and people from the yamen came to see it, and the documents were quickly delivered, and she became the abbot recognized by the government.
But she is just an illiterate servant woman, not only did not learn Buddhism, but also can't read the scriptures, at the beginning, there were some good believers because of her rebuilding the nunnery and money to support, and then saw that she had nothing to say, and gradually did not come, only the surrounding village women occasionally came, dropped a few copper coins, she opened up her own wasteland, planted grain and vegetables, although it was cold, but there was no shortage of food and drink, compared to the displacement of the year, it was heaven and earth.
But the good believer who gave her three hundred taels of silver never appeared again.
One-one-one-one
