Chapter 421: Inside the Qingguo Temple
"Hui'er, go play, be careful not to fall!" Gu Xiwu was wearing a plain dress and looked at Gu Hui with a smile on her face.
"Got it, Auntie!"
Gu Hui glanced at Mo Junyao in the cradle on the side, and then ran to the woods on the side.
It had been three days since they came to Qingguo Temple, and this annex was opened for them by Gu Ronghe himself. It is at one end of the temple, surrounded by mountains, and it is usually clean.
Away from the distractions of the world, and with her son by her side, Gu Xiwu felt that this should be the most comfortable day she had in these years!
"Madam, the meal is ready!"
While she was standing, a temple girl walked in with a food box, put her things down, folded her hands and performed a proper Buddhist ceremony.
From the day she moved in, she asked the people in the temple to call her Madame. Not a princess, not a regent, just a mother with a child.
"Thank you, Master Jingxian!" Gu Xiwu also returned the salute, and then hugged Mo Junyao to the house.
"I said, why did my junior sister come to catch up with this one, and I think she didn't hurt us in South Vietnam enough?" Before Gu Xiwu could come out of the room, a slightly old voice reached her ears.
"Amitabha, my Buddha is compassionate, what Senior Sister said is so unreasonable!" Master Jingxian glanced at the visitor: "Buddha in the world, Mrs. has now put down mundane things and cultivated in my Buddhism, why should Senior Sister bother with the past?" ”
"With blood on her hands and her life, this demon girl is not a good person in the mouth of her sister! I am a Buddha with compassion, but I don't cross such people! ”
There was disdain in her sister-in-law's words, as if Gu Xiwu was really a heinous person.
"Senior sister is cautious!" Master Jingxian recited the Buddha's name, but when she saw the girl's expression, she didn't want to argue with her anymore.
"Mrs. Jinghui!" Gu Xiwu, who was listening quietly on the side, walked out of the house: "I've caused trouble to your temple!" ”
That person looked old, but his steps were still vigorous, and he was the supervisor of Qingguo Temple, Jinghui.
"Humph! This benefactor, if you know in your heart that you have caused trouble, do something for the temple! We Qingguo Temple has never raised idlers! Jinghui tilted her head, only revealing a pair of nostrils, as if she didn't want to take care of Gu Xiwu: "Someone in the temple came to incense in the afternoon, and after eating, hurry up and sweep the yard!" ”
"Isn't that good?" Jing Xian turned her head and looked at Jing Hui, although this is not the regent now, but she is also the daughter of Xiangyang Mansion and the queen of Yunnan, she is too afraid that she will not be able to explain it when the time comes!
"What's so bad!" Jing Hui glared at Jing Xian: "Are you the Jian Temple or am I?" I have the final say on the affairs of this temple, and there is no discussion on this matter! ”
Hmph, if you want to live a good life under her hands, dream!
"It's okay, I can!" Seeing that Jingxian seemed to want to say something, Gu Xiwu hurriedly glanced at her.
She looked up at the direction of the temple's main hall, and it was also a manual work to sweep them down! But she is now in a state where everyone is shouting and beating, just like Jinghui said, she can't be an idler here all the time!
"Hmm!" Jing Hui hummed a scale from her nose, and then looked at the food box on the table: "In the future, the food in the other courtyard will be the same as ours, so you don't need to send it alone!" I think this female benefactor has hands and feet, and she can also go over and get it herself! ”
"Good!"
Gu Xiwu hesitated, but nodded.
Since you have chosen to live as an ordinary person, you must do as an ordinary person.
"Hmph, that's it! Hurry up, I'll check it out in a moment! Jing Hui snorted coldly, and then left without looking back.
"Amitabha, don't be like a senior sister! Senior sister is old, and some problems can't be turned around for a while! Master Jingxian exhaled My Buddha Compassion, and then looked at Gu Xiwu with some apologies: "But Senior Sister, as the supervisor of the temple, there are some things that we can no longer decide." In the future, I hope that Mrs. can come down by herself, and we will also provide Mrs. with the help she deserves! ”
"Shi is too serious, I can understand Jing Hui's feelings." Gu Xiwu shook her head with a smile, and then looked at Mrs. Jingxian: "But does Mrs. Jing treat me like this?" A demon girl who brings disaster to the country and the people? ”
"This ......" Master Jing Xian hesitated for a moment, but still lowered her head: "Monks don't speak!" But please rest assured, Qingguo Temple has always treated everyone equally, so there will never be and will not guarantee that no one will do anything to Mrs. here! ”
"I see!" Gu Xiwu smiled self-deprecatingly, and then approached the room with a food box: "The teacher is too slow, I won't send it far!" ”
"Madame, take care!"
Seeing that the little light in Gu Xiwu's eyes gradually turned gray, Jingxian suddenly felt that she had done something wrong? But after thinking about it again, if it weren't for this woman, the South Vietnamese Kingdom would not have fallen into the current situation, with a large army pressing the border and a chaotic political situation!
Even if everything didn't come from her, everything was caused by her. Buddhism emphasizes cause and effect, and without her, such a fruit would not be planted!
In the end, it is not worthy of sympathy!
Shaking her head, she also silently withdrew from the courtyard.
And in the house, Gu Xiwu, who was eating, was chewing wax. Although she knew what kind of image she was in the eyes of the world, she heard such a result from the mouth of a person who ignored the world, and she still couldn't accept it!
She looked at Mo Junyao in the cradle, and her heart was infinitely desolate, to this day, except for her son, she is really a lonely person who has no connection with the world!
In the afternoon, Gu Xiwu, who had cleaned up, handed over his son to the care of someone who did nothing, and left alone and went to the main hall to clean.
"Why are you so late?"
As soon as she got there, Mrs. Jinghui was already standing there waiting.
"I'm sorry!" Gu Xiwu just said a word, and then picked up a broom and started sweeping it from a corner of the yard.
"Hurry up!" Mrs. Jinghui seemed to be irritated by her attitude, and the whole person followed her and said in a mean tone: "I'm watching here today, don't think about being lazy!" I tell you, when you did those things, you should have expected that one day would come! ”
“......”
Gu Xiwu still didn't say a word, and then continued to sweep forward.
"You still don't want to? If His Royal Highness King Xiang hadn't personally explained to the abbot, do you really think you could enter this door? ”
"Qingguo Temple is Nanyue National Temple, whether I can come in or not depends on whose face!" After hearing her say this, Gu Xiwu raised her head and glanced at Jing Hui coldly: "Even if I am not the regent anymore, I am still the Nanyue royal family!" What's more, Shen Hui is still the emperor! ”
"You!"
"I know what kind of identity I am now, so I don't want to worry about you, but when it comes to the dignity of the royal family, I still hope that Mrs. Shi can be cautious in her words and deeds!"
After speaking, Gu Xiwu didn't care that Lao Ni's face had darkened, so he continued to sweep the floor by himself.
"You, you, sharp teeth! But no matter what you say, you won't be able to wash away your sins! Jing Hui was speechless for a while before she came up with this sentence: "This place in the main hall, I will come and personally inspect it after an hour, if you don't finish sweeping, tomorrow's diet in the courtyard, your division will be exempted!" ”
After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left in a huff.
For a few days after that, Jinghui would assign this or that kind of work to Gu Xiwu to do. And Gu Xiwu didn't have any reaction, just quietly did things well.
It's just that she has been pampered since she was a child, and it didn't take long for her hands to become red and swollen and even have some signs of cracking.
"Madam, King Xiang has arrived, and he is coming this way!"
Half a month after coming to Qingguo Temple, Gu Xiwu received the news that Gu Ronghe had arrived.
"Sorry!"
From a distance, Gu Xiwu saw Gu Ronghe's figure, but there seemed to be someone behind him.
"Concubine Jiang Hui, meet the regent!" Jiang Hui was wearing a light-colored palace costume and bowed to Gu Xiwu Yingying.
"I'm not the regent anymore, you don't have to call me that!" Gu Xiwu helped her up, and then said lightly: "However, Jiang Hui, what are you?" ”
"It's King Xiang, and the concubine is merciful to King Xiang and is accepted as a side room!" Jiang Hui smiled shyly, but in the place where the two brothers and sisters of the Shen family couldn't see, their eyes were full of calculations!
Gu Xiwu, you can't think of it! You have now become the street rat that everyone in South Vietnam shouts and beats, but she Jiang Hui has climbed to the most powerful man in the whole of South Vietnam and has become the most noble woman in the whole of South Vietnam! Back then, she would get back the hatred of the Jiang family in Yunnan little by little.
Now, that's just the beginning!
"Oh?"
Gu Xiwu looked at Gu Ronghe, and when she saw the latter nodding, her heart could be regarded as letting go.
"That's a good relationship, but I haven't caught up with such a good thing!" She took Jiang Hui's hand: "I'm naturally happy that you can come, Hui'er likes you, and I must be happy to know that you are here!" ”
"Regent, no, the county lord is laughing!" Jiang Hui smiled gently: "These are all things I should do!" ”
Gu Ronghe looked at the smile in Gu Xiwu's eyes, and felt that he was not so upset about being calculated by Jiang Hui. After all, there are not many people in South Vietnam who can get along with her now!
In this way, she will not be so lonely in the future!
"You have to treat people well in the future, Jiang Hui has been watched by me since he entered the palace, she is a good girl!" Gu Xiwu looked at Gu Ronghe and instructed carefully.
For Jiang Hui, a little girl, Gu Xiwu still likes it very much, although she was a little suspicious at the beginning, but it has been so long, and this girl is not disappointed. Now that she can find such a home, she can be relieved!
"What are you bothering about, I know!"
