Although it is only a nunnery, it is not much less famous than a temple dedicated to the royal worship of the Buddha, such as the Daebounji Temple. Its prosperity is both an accident and an inevitability.

After the founding of the Great Chu Dynasty, many of the "heroes" who were reckless and became upstarts one after another stopped their wives and remarried. Whether it's to make friends with new forces, or "it's difficult for a bad wife to get into the hall of elegance", in short, not every man is as dedicated as the old prince of the Xinguo Mansion.

And many of these original wives were originally born in poverty, one has no power in their mother's family, and the other has no knowledge.

The so-called "just as the Houmen is as deep as the sea, and the penitent husband is looking for the marquis" is about that.

There are also some former wives whose sons-in-law are very good, and they have not been abandoned because of the reason that "mothers are more expensive than children". But it is really difficult to see her husband's disgusted eyes in the house every day, or the new aunt and her husband are looking at me and me. Although it is not enough to spoil concubines and kill wives, it is difficult not to develop a world-weary attitude after a long time.

At this time, the "Rushi Nunnery" set up by the queen became another choice for them.

Gu Qing and Old Taijun Qiu have the same attitude towards "Rushi Nunnery" - that is, disgust.

These women are the real victims of the new round of feudalism, they have shared hardships with their husbands, but they have not shared wealth and prosperity, and they have not even ended up better.

And the queen, who knew what happened to them and didn't choose to stop this trend, but expanded the "Ru Shi An" to such a range, is really not good. It's a disguised connivance with those bastards to do that.

However, due to the existence of "Aunt Xinguo Mansion", Mrs. Qiu couldn't say yes to the queen's decision, and she could only try not to show enthusiasm for "Rushi Nunnery".

After all, most women ask themselves to cut their hair to become nuns or lead their hair to practice. "Such a nunnery" is at least a serious royal nunnery, not the kind of place where dirt and dirt are hidden, and there are also some orphans who are taken in as nuns to serve these "old ladies", saying that it is a Buddha worship, it is more appropriate to say that it is "born".

So in doing so, he actually won the praise of some officials and wives for the "benevolence" of the queen, and they were also very sure of such an an. Even women who have the idea that "rabbits die and foxes are sad and hurt their kind" have to be silent under such remarks.

Mrs. Qiu also disliked the appointment to Beppu for this reason. Those familiar faces back then have also disappeared. Those former colleagues in the backyard of Li Shuo are either the powerful new wives of her mother's family, or the beautiful and moving sequels. At some ages, you can call her "grandma", but she still talks according to the seat of her peers, which makes her very uncomfortable.

The Fang clan probably liked this kind of occasion very much. Because in every aspect, she is enviable.

The Xinguo Mansion is a wealthy family that the boudoir women of the entire Great Chu want to marry. Not to mention the illustrious family and the trust of the royal family, even the family style of two generations of unmistakable love also made those women sigh. Not to mention the simple population of the house, it is even more rare to have a mother-in-law who does not take power and does not embarrass her daughter-in-law. Her husband is an important minister of the imperial court, and her son is said to have been smart and beautiful since he was a child, and he has fulfilled his uncle's legacy.

Even the poor eldest grandson Li Rui, whose parents died, was married to the daughter of the head of the Hanlin Academy when his parents were full, and he didn't know how many dignitaries with daughters broke countless vases and tea bowls.

Mrs. Qiu, who had not been out for a long time, wanted to go to the "Shuiyue Nunnery" to see Master Shuiyue, whether it was the Xinguo Mansion or the Rushi Nunnery, they all took action.

Going out at such an old age is not as simple as ordinary people traveling. Not to mention all the daily utensils, some necessary medicines, accompanying doctors are even more essential, and there are more than a dozen girls of various colors such as cooking tea, holding fruits, and kneading legs. The Fang family originally wanted to follow, but it happened to be Li Mingxiu Mu that day, and she came back from her mother's house, so she had to give up.

Even Gu Qing himself didn't know that he was going to make such a big move when he went out.

She got up at dawn in the morning and tossed until three o'clock in the morning before leaving the room!

That's all there is to the move!

Li Rui was also arrested by the girls early in the morning, he had to grow vegetables in the morning on weekdays, and he wore the muslin clothes when he first got up, and he changed them when he came back. But today, Mrs. Tai said, "We must take care of Young Master Rui so that I can pull him out to meet people, so everyone has done everything they can, and they have to dress him up as "can see people well".

When Li Rui was dressed up like a mascot and stood in front of Gu Qing, Gu Qing smiled very shamelessly.

"Poof! It's not the New Year, just dress neatly and comb your hair, what's going on with this red from head to toe? And that face! Who powdered and greased him? It's the same as a monkey fart 1 share! ”

Oh, my God! Piercing the ground like a red bell pepper! Is it really good for someone who doesn't have a waist or neck to dress up like this? In addition to the white spots on her skin, her cheap grandson has nothing to do with "Jia Baoyu"!

Gu Qing was not worried at all that others would think she was vulgar. First, no one dared to gossip about her, and secondly, Mrs. Qiu couldn't talk elegantly when she spoke.

"Grandma!" Since Li Rui had a long talk with Mrs. Qiu in my room last time, he felt that he was much closer to his grandmother. also dared to be coquettish. The two who got close had a new understanding of each other.

'Grandma looks scary, but she's actually an interesting person!' Li Rui thought so.

'Li Xiaochubby is a little fatter, but he is actually a big-minded little bun! Give him a shovel and tell him to dig earthworms to feed the carp or anything, what a good boy! Gu Qing nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, okay, put on the green shirt he wore last time, he's white-skinned, it's best to wear that. Wipe your face clean! Can this see people? Hurry up, don't delay going out! Gu Qing hurriedly commanded the other girls to give Li Rui a makeover. ”

Mama Hua got Gu Qing's instructions, opened her private vault, and took some gifts for Li Rui's aunt. Most of them are delicate and expensive jewelry, and they don't make people feel ostentatious. Among them, there is a pair of emerald inlaid jewels Wufeng Huasheng, which is hidden by the court of the previous dynasty, and it is even more rare that there is no palace seal, which is the most rare.

Mama Hua put these gifts into the box, hugged them in her arms and got into the old lady's car.

Mrs. Qiu, Li Rui, and Mama Hua sat in the first car. Before coming, Gu Qing had already explained to Li Rui that he came this time to let him meet his relatives from his mother's side, so Li Xiaopang was extremely nervous, and he didn't even pay attention to being painted a big face in the morning.

After his mother committed suicide by throwing herself into the lake, a plaque of "loyal martyr" was awarded in the harem, and the Ministry of Rites also set up a chastity archway at the entrance of the Qingshui Fang where they lived. But since then, his uncle's family rarely visited him, and his aunt and grandmother did not come to the house much. In the past four or five years, my uncle has been transferred to other places, and in addition to exchanging New Year's gifts during the New Year's Festival, he rarely communicates.

Li Rui's impression of his uncle was that of a middle-aged man with beautiful long hair, who would smile very gently at him. My aunt had a round face and a very charitable smile. But when he tried to recall the specific appearance of the two, he couldn't think clearly.

It seems that since he moved into the "Splendid Temple", they have never been to the door again. It wasn't until he moved out of his uncle and aunt's garden on his twelfth birthday this year that the family sent a famous carved bow and some congratulatory gifts. The carved bow still hangs on the wall of his room.

The road has long been closed, and except for some women who have made an appointment a long time ago, all other foreign men are not allowed to enter. This "Nu No-an" is not built on a hill or in a suburban area like other temples or nunnery, but is a secluded place in the capital near the inner city. It was originally the family temple of a dignitary in the previous dynasty, and later it was changed to "such a nunnery".

It is precisely because of the fact that there are many mothers of sons from various prefectures in the capital who live in the nunnery, whether these sons are favored or not, it is difficult to break the nature of mother and child. For example, on the days of opening to the outside world on the first day of the new year and the fifteenth day of the new year, many sons and daughters-in-law from the house always come to visit. Today, they learned that a woman of high status was coming to the "Rushi Nunnery", so they simply waited in the house not far from the nunnery, thinking that the female guest and her family were gone, and then went in to visit.

So, when the honor guard of the Xinguo Mansion passed through this road first, these waiting people were still wondering whether it was the Tai Lady of the Xinguo Mansion who went to the Nunnery, or the Duchess of Guo.

When the vermilion lacquer carriage that drove the talent of Mrs. Yipinguo passed through the street in front of Rushian, these people showed a look of "sudden realization".

It turned out that Mrs. Xinguo's mansion, who rarely went out, went out of the house. This is really unusual, I heard that this old lady is not in good health, and she rarely even goes to the banquet presided over by the queen.

Master Shuiyue was "sick" in the month when Mama Hua and Mrs. Qiu discussed finding help from her in-laws, and reported her "sudden illness" to the Xinguo Mansion three days ago, and Gu Qing came out of the mansion in this name.

This woman has relied on the Xinguo Mansion all her life, and her only daughter is also very well married, and she has always respected and loved Mrs. Qiu. As soon as her daughter got married, she invited herself to go to the "Rushi Nunnery" to shave her ordination and eat fasting and recite Buddha for her husband. She has carried this shackle for many years, and she can finally throw away this burden, but she is very guilty of not being able to repay Mrs. Qiu's kindness.

So when Mama Hua came to visit her and said that she wanted to see someone here, she was "infected with the wind chill" within a few days, and asked others not to go near her wing to avoid infection.

When Gu Qing arrived at the "Rushi Nunnery", he took Li Rui to the backyard after incense and sesame oil money. Master Shuiyue lives in the east wing. The nuns, who were in charge of doing some of the menial work, were temporarily dismissed.

Gu Qing asked the girls to stay outside, and only took Xiangyun and Mama Hua into the wing.

Xiangyun was raised by Mrs. Qiu since she was a child, and she is loyal to Mrs. Qiu, and she is even more cautious and steady, so Gu Qing is also very relieved of her. With such a maid here, a lot of things are sometimes very easy.

In the wing, there was no trace of Master Shuiyue. A woman of about thirty years of age was sitting on an arhat bed waiting. She was wearing a rose and purple silver flower dark xia dress, and a pale rosette gown, although she was not rich, she also looked graceful and generous, and she was very beautiful.

Gu Qing entered the wing room, and the woman hurriedly came over to greet her. As soon as she saw Li Rui behind Gu Qing, she couldn't hide her surprise and covered her mouth with her hand. It seems that she is also a lover of temperament, not such a pretentious woman.

"This is my nephew, Brother Rui? How did it come to be like this? ”

Well, cheap grandson, it has long been said that you should lose weight. Look at your aunt and uncle!
