Chapter 7 Leaving Beijing
Shen Yafei sneered after hearing this, conniving? Cosset? There is indulgence, but where does the favor come from?
Connivance is to condone the people below to raise her and abolish her, but she has never fulfilled her responsibilities as a parent, and she has not even supervised the people who serve her daughter, all of them have been bought, and those who want to harm her daughter don't know, and she claims that she loves her daughter. However, it is really merciful and righteous to assign this responsibility to a person who is not related by blood!
Shen Yafei's expression became unteachable and unrepentant in the eyes of Mrs. Shen and General Shen. Mrs. Shen was so excited that she almost lost her breath, and she raised her hand and was about to hit her, but was stopped by General Shen, who shook his head at her.
"You still don't know how to repent, and you've been given countless opportunities. Since you still don't change your dead nature, then send it to the temple in Huancheng. Let you have a good calm temperament. General Shen covered his head and sighed, "Tomorrow will depart!" ”
"Brother Hao!" Mrs. Shen looked at General Shen's unquestioning expression and swallowed her unspoken persuasion. Looking at Shen Yafei, who did not change her face in front of her, Mrs. Shen sighed helplessly.
Mama Li, Qiu'er, and Dong'er, under the orders of Mrs. Shen, packed up Shen Yafei's usual belongings overnight.
Early the next morning, he boarded the carriage to Huancheng with Shen Yafei.
Shen Yafei sat in the carriage with a dazed expression, Mama Li and Qiu'er gave each other a look of understanding, and no one had any intention of comforting her.
When they went out this morning, none of the masters in the Shen Mansion came out to see them off, only Steward Ma came out and told them a few words, thinking that the master in front of them was given up by the Shen Mansion. When I arrived in Huancheng, I didn't know who would serve whom.
Shen Yafei looked at the contemptuous attitude of these people, her hands tightly grasped the skirt of her lower body, her nails sunk deep into her palms, and the two rows of teeth were tightly closed, leaving no gaps.
Shen Yafei lowered her head to cover the light in her eyes, and when she raised her head again, she also returned to the same state. In this life, I will never be at the mercy of you people at will, and when I get to Huancheng, it will be your burial place.
The wheels of the carriage kept rolling across the avenue, the sand and gravel and the low-lying made the carriage swing one by one, Shen Yafei leaned on the carriage with her eyes closed, her heart was desolate, what kind of thread would it be in this life.
In the Shen Mansion, General Shen and Mrs. Shen sat in Fengyi Hall, their expressions solemn, no one was willing to open their mouths first to break the tranquility, even Shen Yi, who was usually good-mouthed, lowered his head to minimize his sense of presence at this moment.
"Master, let's just send Fei'er away, is it really okay? Will she hate us? Aren't we even going to deliver it? Mrs. Shen choked up.
"Alas~" General Shen sighed repeatedly, "This is also helpless, if her temperament continues to develop like this, I am afraid it will ruin her." The Yan'an Temple in Huancheng is our family's temple, and when we get there, follow Aunt Sheng, and Aunt Sheng will train her.
It's always good to let her suffer a little, so that her temperament can be sharpened. Now the family is complaining about her, if she stays here, she is afraid that there will be another trouble. ”
Mrs. Shen nodded in agreement, knowing that it would be useless to say anything more.
After two months and fifteen days of travel, the carriage passed the pass of Huancheng and drove to the outside of a farm in the northernmost part of Huancheng. In front of the crowd outside Zhuangzi stood a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears in a homespun robe, with dark skin and a flattering smile on his big face.
He bowed slightly to the carriage and looked at the few people who got off the carriage with a smile: "Welcome Miss Daozhuang, Miss has been fortunate along the way." The old slave had already asked someone to prepare food for the young lady and you, and the young lady went inside to wash up, and then she could have a good rest. Early tomorrow morning, the old slave will let you take you to the Yan'an Temple in Ansan. The old slave received the letter five days ago and greeted Aunt Sheng along the temple, everything above has been prepared, and she will not be wronged. ”
The owner of the village looked funny, Shen Yafei couldn't help laughing, there was no doubt about the previous life, Shen Yafei smiled lightly: "If the owner of Meng Zhuang has a heart, then it will bother the owner of Meng Zhuang." ”
The owner of the village led the group to a small two-entry bungalow, Shen Yafei looked at the simple but not vulgar decoration inside, and nodded silently, the owner of the village looked like a sycophant, and he really shot well, no wonder he was so loved by the ancestors of the Shen family and General Shen, he was really a good one.
After Shen Yafei washed up, the mother-in-law of the owner of Meng Zhuang led a few girls to come in with a table full of dishes, and stayed aside after the dishes, Shen Yafei took two mouthfuls of food, and couldn't eat anymore, so she put the bowl aside.
"Miss, but it's not to your liking." Meng Poniang asked cautiously, but the light in her eyes did not match her words and deeds.
Shen Yafei knew that this person was weak in his words and deeds, but she was indeed much more vicious than Meng Zhuang, Shen Yafei was unhappy and unwilling to deal with it, and said, "Tired." ”
Qiu'er waited for Shen Yafei to enter the inner room.
Mama Li didn't even look at Mrs. Meng, turned around and waved her hand, pinched her voice and said, "Withdraw it." ”
Mrs. Meng spat at the figures of the four people: "Phew! ”
Seeing that Mrs. Meng led the girls to bring the dishes back untouched, the owner of Meng Zhuang frowned and asked, "But it's not appetizing." ”
"People are the eldest lady in the capital, where are we used to eating our country dishes. Cut, it's not that I've been exiled to this place, the eldest lady is amazing, it's not that I've fallen out of favor. Meng Poniang craned her neck and shouted inside.
"What nonsense are you talking about. Even if she falls out of favor, she is also the young lady of the Shen family, not something that people like you and me can talk about at will. Master Meng Zhuang scolded Mrs. Meng.
"Shouldn't I just say a few words?" Meng Poniang said dissatisfied.
"It's not okay to talk about it, if it is heard, when the time comes, they will send a message to the capital, will you and I still be able to gain a foothold here? Do you still want this fat difference? Master Meng snorted.
Mrs. Meng was shocked by the solemn look of the owner of Meng Zhuang and pursed her lips.
In the house, Shen Yafei's expression was as usual, and Qiu'er muttered dissatisfiedly: "Miss, let the slave go out and teach the mother-in-law who doesn't know the height of the sky." ”
Shen Yafei stretched out her hand to stop her, and said lightly: "Let her go, I'm tired, I want to rest, I'm going up the mountain tomorrow, don't make trouble here." ”
After speaking, Shen Yafei lay on the bed and narrowed her eyes.
Qiu'er wanted to say something more, but Mama Li shook her head at him. Qiu'er lowered her head and didn't snort, turned around and went out, and Mama Li and Dong'er also walked out and closed the door.
After hearing the sound of the door closing, Shen Yafei opened her eyes, and her eyes were full of indifference.
The autumn morning is still refreshing, the climate in this Huan City is colder than in the capital, Dong'er tied Shen Yafei's coat, and Shen Yafei put her hand into her sleeve.
The autumn scenery of Huancheng has not been bleak by the autumn wind, it is still green, if it is not for this cold temperature, it can make people mistake it for summer.
It took a group of people more than two hours to reach the top of the mountain.
At the top of the mountain, the scenery is even better.
A gravel-paved path lined with infamous flowers stretches all the way to the temple along the temple.
At the gate of the temple, a seven or eight-year-old girl dressed as a nun greeted her and asked seriously, "But Lord Shen Shi is here, and Aunt Sheng has been waiting inside for a long time." ”
"Lead the way." Shen Yafei smiled lightly, and Dong'er stepped forward to support Shen Yafei's right hand.
The girl led the people to the Buddha hall, and saw six rows of female nuns kneeling on both sides of the Buddhist hall, and there were three old nuns in front of the female Nizi, all with their eyes closed, and their mouths were reciting scriptures one by one. Shen Yafei could tell at a glance that the nun in the middle who was not angry but powerful was Aunt Sheng.
The Buddha hall is made of tall pillars, in the front of the Buddha hall, there is a big Buddha statue, it is the rain god Niangniang who is believed in locally, Niangniang clay sculpture golden body, the demeanor is safe, the big black eyes look around the distance, I think I want to use the eyes of God to purify all beings.
"Please wait here, donors." After bowing to the crowd, the girl knelt behind and chanted with the nuns.
Shen Yafei looked directly at the statue, closed her eyes, and folded her hands.
Mama Li looked at Shen Yafei in surprise, and then looked at the front of the Buddha Hall, and then clasped her hands together.
Two quarters of an hour later, the chanting in the hall stopped. The nuns dispersed.
The girl walked over with Aunt Sheng, and Shen Yafei and everyone saluted Aunt Sheng.
Sheng Gu looked at Shen Yafei's dignified and steady appearance, which did not match the appearance described in Shen Fu's heart, and couldn't help but feel suspicious.
"But Lord Shen." Sheng Gu stepped forward and saluted.
"I've seen the host!" Shen Yafei responded respectfully.
"You follow them and call me Aunt Sheng. I've got your room ready, so I'll let Jingkong take you there. Aunt Sheng motioned to the girl who had just led the way, and then waved her hand to the nun on the side, saying, "In the future, Master Shen will follow Master Jingning to worship the Buddha and chant the scriptures." All living beings are equal in our nunnery, although Lord Shen is the eldest lady of our Shen family, but the degree of eating and drinking is the same as ours. However, every festival and the fifteenth day of the new year, the owner of Meng Zhuang will let people pick you up on the mountain to the village for the festival. But if you want to stay in the nunnery, you can do that. ”
"Yes." Shen Yafei lowered her head and replied.
