The Six Banyan Nunnery is the family temple of the Qi family, located in the middle of the high green mountain. The mountains and forests here are beautiful and the scenery is pleasant.

There were originally more than a dozen people living in the nunnery, all of whom were women from the Qi family who had made mistakes or had nowhere to go.

Mrs. Qi and her mother-in-law and maids lived in the west courtyard, and everyone else lived in the north courtyard.

When she arrived at the nunnery, Mrs. Qi looked at the six boxes brought by Gu Xian, and immediately said with a straight face: "Didn't I tell Shen Shaozhou to let you just bring a change of clothes." What do you bring so many things for? You were here for an outing, huh? ”

Gu Xian was most afraid of Mrs. Qi, and said, "Auntie, it's all some daily things. ”

"Mother Li, put away everything for her except for her clothes, and return them to her when you go down the mountain."

Gu Xian wanted to refute, but seeing Mrs. Qi's impatient look, she swallowed back the words on her lips.

The lunch meal was not bad, vegetarian duck and fried eggplant with cucumber and beans. The cook is Mrs. Qi's special cook, and the taste is not good.

Gu Xian felt that it was awkward to eat with Mrs. Qi, so she ate in her room at night. As a result, dinner was incredibly simple, just a bowl of sweet potato porridge.

Gu Xian couldn't eat it, so she ran to find Mrs. Qi.

Mrs. Qi's dinner was not sumptuous, only three dishes and one soup, namely vegetarian button pork, Luohan Zhai, exquisite jade heart, and egg drop soup. can be compared with Gu Xian's, it is one heaven and one earth.

Mrs. Qi glanced at her, put down the chopsticks she had just picked up, and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Auntie, why do I only have a bowl of sweet potato porridge?"

Mrs. Qi snorted and said, "I ordered it." From today onwards, you will eat whatever the people in the North Courtyard eat. ”

Gu Xian was stunned: "What? ”

Mrs. Qi said: "When you are old in the future, Shen Tao and his wife will definitely send you to the nunnery." I did this to let you adapt to the hard days of the lower nunnery in advance. ”

"Auntie, I'm going home."

Mrs. Qi chuckled and said, "Go home? When your mother and Shen Shaozhou are dead, where do you think you can go back? ”

Gu Xian said loudly: "I said, I will go with Shaozhou when he dies." ”

At the signal of Mrs. Qi, Mother Li handed a dagger to her.

Mrs. Qi smiled: "I said that if you can stab yourself, I will believe you." ”

Gu Xian felt that Mrs. Qi was the devil.

Mrs. Qi waved her hand: "If you don't dare to stab, go back to the house for me." By the way, from tomorrow onwards you will have to work with the women of the North Courtyard during the day, and you will be able to come back and sleep here at night. ”

Gu Xian was woken up early the next morning, and then forced to follow the three women in the north courtyard to work in the sweet potato field.

After doing more than half an hour, Gu Xian was so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back, and then she ate pumpkin porridge and palm-sized steamed buns. After eating, she felt a little more comfortable in her stomach.

After eating, she went to the vegetable field to pull weeds and fertilize, and looked at the dirty grass and ashes, and she avoided them far away.

She hadn't done anything, and she was a little dazed after two quarters of an hour. Watching her swaying from side to side, the woman at the head saw that she was not right, and hurriedly let her rest under the eaves.

The sun gradually increased, and the group went back to the nunnery, and did not rest, but went to the Buddhist hall to chant and chant the Buddha.

It wasn't until they finished reciting the scriptures that they all went back to their rooms.

As soon as Gu Xian returned to the West Courtyard, she found that it was quiet inside. After asking the maid guarding the house, I found out that Mrs. Qi had gone to the mountain to play. The view is great and there is a waterfall in the mountains.

"When will Madame be back?"

The maid shook her head: "This slave doesn't know either. ”

When she woke up in the afternoon, Gu Xian's stomach rumbled with hunger, but no one from the nunnery had brought food yet. In desperation, Gu Xian could only go to the owner of the nunnery by herself.

The owner of the nunnery explained: "Master Gu, we eat two meals a day in the nunnery. If you want to eat, you have to figure it out for yourself. ”

Gu Xian couldn't think of a way, so she could only go back to the house.

The taste of starvation is not pleasant, and Gu Xian has never suffered since she was a child. After hesitating, she ran to the kitchen to find something to eat. There are a lot of things in the kitchen, such as rice noodles and various vegetables and dried scallops and fungus, but there is no cooked food.

Gu Xian instructed the maid to do it, but the maid shook her head and said, "Auntie, Madam told us not to help you." If you want to eat, you have to do it yourself. ”

Gu Xian could only do it herself. She doesn't know how to do anything else, thinking that cooking shouldn't be difficult.

The maid smelled a burning smell, and hurriedly ran in and asked, "Grandma, what are you doing?" ”

"I'm cooking!"

The maid untied the lid of the tin can, and saw a black mass inside: "How did you cook rice?" ”

No matter what, it is impossible to cook rice into black slag!

Gu Xian said: "It's just to put the rice in the tin and then light the fire!" ”

In the past, he was virtuous and virtuous, and he burned a fire when he was in the Lin family. No more, she hasn't done it again.

The maid looked at her like a monster: "Didn't you put water in the tin can when you cooked?" ”

"Put water, put what water?"

The maid was scared into a cold sweat, and she didn't follow up with the kitchen just now. This is going to catch fire, and then it will be killed by the lady.

Thinking of this, the maid hurriedly said: "Don't do it, otherwise I'm really afraid that you will burn this kitchen." ”

Gu Xian didn't want to go out, she hadn't eaten yet! Unfortunately, the maid pushed her out and locked the kitchen.

In the evening, Mrs. Qi came back, and after knowing this, she smiled and said, "You dare to be heaven and earth with this virtue." ”

On the second day, Gu Xian didn't want to go to the ground anymore. Even if the owner of the nunnery threatened her, saying that she would not be given food if she didn't work, she would not want to go to the ground.

Gu Xian said: "I went to the ground yesterday, and my skin is hot and painful today. I'm going to get sunburned in the ground, I'm going to get sunburned. ”

The owner of the nunnery had no choice but to arrange for her to clean up. As a result, the sweep is the same as the non-sweeping.

A group of women in the North Courtyard hadn't complained yet, and Gu Xian didn't want to do it by herself: "I swept too much ground yesterday, and my hands were blistered out, and it hurt so much that I didn't sleep all night last night." ”

Owner: ......

"Master Gu, what will you do?"

Gu Xian said: "I can copy scriptures and paint, and these can be sold for money." ”

The owner of the nunnery spoke very well, nodded and said, "Okay, then you draw a statue of Guanyin Buddha and show it to me tomorrow." ”

If you paint well, you can take it down the mountain and sell it, and then the nunnery can add additional income.

The next day, when the owner of the nunnery saw the Guanyin painted by Gu Xian, he was silent and said, "Master Gu, you can't sell this painting." ”

"Why can't you sell it? How kind do you look at Guanyin? ”

This looks like Guanyin, and it's kind and kind! The owner of the nunnery didn't say much to her, but said, "If you don't have any other skills, I'll work with them in the fields." ”

"I can also copy the scriptures, and if I write well, I can copy books and sell them."

Fortunately, Gu Xian's hand-held hairpin flower Xiaokai is really good. The owner of the nunnery looked at the scriptures she copied, nodded and said, "Yes." From now on, you will only be responsible for copying the scriptures, and you will not have to do anything else. ”

Gu Xian was overjoyed. If you don't have to work in the field, you won't get tanned and ugly, and you won't sweat all over your body.
