Chapter 27: The Master of the Nunnery
"What are you doing down the mountain?" He Mian'er didn't want to ask questions again, so she took the initiative to ask.
After all, the monks are not as good as others, and the Puhui Nunnery has always been very tightly controlled, although the people in the nunnery live in the capital, they rarely go down the mountain, which can be said to be trying their best to isolate themselves from the world.
Mingxin scratched his head and waved the stack of medicine bags he was carrying in his hand, and then explained: "The wise master in the nunnery is too sick to get out of bed recently, so Master Ming sent me down the mountain to grab some medicine for her." β
He Mian'er suddenly realized that the wise master seemed to be in charge of the account income and expenditure in the nunnery, and she had the impression that she was a low-key and short teacher.
Seeing that He Mian'er didn't speak, Mingxin looked her up and down and asked, "Then where are you going now?" β
Mingxin's words stopped He Mian'er, it was impossible for her to live back in the original place, and she wanted to find a room to live in immediately, but it was also difficult.
It's not impossible to go to the guest house, but He Mian'er is shy in her pocket, and she is a little reluctant to spend money in her heart.
Seeing He Mian'er frowning, Mingxin also had a bright bare head, and he was worried.
Suddenly, Mingxin clapped his hands excitedly and said, "There is." At that moment, he excitedly told He Mian'er about his proposal.
He Mian'er was just looking for a safe place to live, but when she heard Mingxin's proposal to let her live in the nunnery temporarily, she couldn't help but be overjoyed.
But after thinking about it in a blink of an eye, he shook his head and said, "I don't plan to be a nun, I'm afraid that the master of the nunnery is too unwilling to take it in." In fact, she was most afraid of the shrewd and powerful Master Ming, but she didn't show it in front of Mingxin.
Mingxin didn't do it anymore, most of the teachers in the nunnery were too old, and they got along with each other in the past, and there was only He Mian'er who was the same age as her, so she hoped that He Mian'er could stay in the nunnery, and it was also very good for the two to talk.
At that moment, he patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I'll help you intercede." The teachers have always been the most kind-hearted, and they will definitely agree. β
He Mian'er didn't hesitate at the moment, just stayed for a few days, and when she found a place to live, she moved out immediately.
Probably seeing that He Mian'er was tempted, Mingxin immediately continued to bewitch: "If the teachers and wives don't agree, I will personally send you down the mountain." β
He Mian'er had no reason to refuse, and the two of them prepared to go out of the city gate together and go up the mountain.
I could only hear someone shouting behind me, as if he was calling someone. He Mian'er and Mingxin turned around together, only to see a person behind them rushing over with a bag on his back, and it was Ah Xiang, the little maid in the general's mansion.
He Mian'er didn't know whose instructions Ah Xiang came here at this time, so she didn't speak at the moment, she stood in place, and just watched coldly.
"Mrs. Mian, wait for me, I'll be with you." Ah Xiang chased after him and said something that seemed clueless to He Mian'er.
Mingxin looked at the good-looking and well-dressed girl in front of him suspiciously, and pointed to his bald head in confusion and said, "Aren't you going to go to the nunnery with us?" β
Ah Xiang was stunned for a moment, never thought that He Mian'er was hit by this, and thought of the path of becoming a monk.
She was originally ordered by the old lady to serve He Mian'er all the time. According to the old lady, when the general comes back, he will apologize to Mrs. Mian, and then he will be able to follow Mrs. Mian back. Even his own family members can be accepted into the General's Mansion when the time comes, and the family works as an errand in the General's Mansion.
But if Mrs. Mian shaved her head, she was determined to be a nun...... Ah Xiang had countless thoughts in her mind for a while.
He Mian'er saw Ah Xiang's hesitation, and didn't forget to pour a basin of cold water on it at the moment, "I have nothing to do with the General's Mansion anymore, since you are the maid of the General's Mansion, what are you doing with me?" β
Ah Xiang heard the displeasure in He Mian'er's tone, and now she had an idea, if she goes back now, it will inevitably dislike the old lady, so it is better to stay for the time being. If you wait for a year and a half and don't see Mrs. Mian turn back, it will not be too late to return to the General's Mansion by yourself. After all, her deed of sale is still in the hands of the old lady.
replied unhurriedly at the moment: "Since you are my master, Ah Xiang naturally wants to follow you." She knew that Mrs. Mian was cold and warm when she looked outside, and she only needed to be cheeky and follow behind.
He Mian'er knew that it was impossible for the General's Mansion to let her go immediately, so she didn't pay attention to it at the moment, and only turned to Mingxin and said, "Let's go, if the master doesn't accept me, I can go down the mountain as soon as possible." β
Several people went all the way out of the city gate and went straight to the Puhui Nunnery.
Mingxin is simple-minded, and he kept talking to Ah Xiang all the way, but He Mian'er only turned a deaf ear.
A few people arrived at the nunnery on the mountainside, at this time the sun was already in the west, and the mountain was full of green trees, but it was also cool.
There was a plainly dressed master in the nunnery who was leaning over and cleaning the courtyard, and when he saw Mingxin, he directly urged: "Mingxin grabbed the medicine, so go and decoct the medicine, don't miss the time." β
Mingxin answered, but he didn't move.
The master looked at He Mian'er's master and servant and said, "The donor is here to burn incense and worship the Buddha, please come here." He pointed to the location of the hall.
He Mian'er shook her head and said, "The little woman suddenly changed and wanted to stay here for a few days. β
The master finally looked up at her, shook her head and said, "It's not from this temple, the poor nuns can't be taken in rashly, and I hope the donor will forgive me." β
Mingxin was a little anxious at the moment and said, "Nunnery master, you can take her in, please." β
Only then did He Mian'er know that this teacher, who didn't look good, was actually the owner of the nunnery here. He Mian'er has been dealing with this place for many years, but she has never seen this person.
He Mian'er knew that since the owner of the nunnery spoke, there was no room for maneuver. He saluted and prepared to leave.
"Nunnery master, why don't you let her practice on her behalf?" Thinking about it, he proposed again. In this way, He Mian'er can not only keep her hair on this head, but also eat and stay here for free.
After listening to Mingxin's words, the master immediately folded his hands and recited the Buddha's horn and said: "The benefactor of the poor nun view is too obsessed, and he is entangled with the red dust. β
As soon as these words came out, Rao was naΓ―ve, and he also knew that Mrs. Shi was unwilling to take in He Mian'er. At the moment, he was in tears, pouting and said, "The owner of the nunnery, you are too bad." β
This surprised He Mian'er, after all, Mingxin had always been afraid of Master Ming, but he had never seen her say such disrespectful words.
I saw that the face of the owner of the nunnery was not gloomy, and it was a habitual look.
He Mian'er respected the character of the owner of the nunnery, and she didn't force it, and was about to leave.
I could only hear someone walking in the backyard with the wind, and said in a stern tone: "Mingxin, what are you talking about?" No big, no small, that's how I taught you in the past? β
As soon as He Mian'er heard it, she knew that it was Master Ming, who was most feared by Mingxin, who came.
Looking back, I saw that Mingxin was already silent, and he sighed in his heart at the moment, never thinking that this time he would actually bring trouble to Mingxin.
