Chapter 173: Nunnery
Even if Yu Tang had thousands of guesses, but this was not the time to think about these things, they soon arrived at the courtyard where Gu Xi lived, and Yu Tang found that there was a half-open door on the side of the main house, holding a rag and a maid carrying water in and out, which showed that Mrs. Shen had indeed left.
A few people suddenly fell silent.
Hexiang, who came to greet the guests, also had a momentary embarrassment, and hurriedly explained in a low voice: "Our young lady originally wanted to go down the mountain with Mrs. Shen, but firstly, she suddenly became ill, and secondly, Mrs. Shen came to pick up Mrs. Shen personally. After speaking, she let out a long sigh and said worriedly, "I don't know what to do in the future?" Is it to hang out with Mrs. Shen as before? Or is it a little more alienated from now on? It's not that our young lady feels disgusted, but that Mrs. Shen is afraid that our young lady will be uncomfortable. ”
Isn't this disgusting?
If you really don't dislike it, what do you do with this? Even if you are lying on the bed and can't move, you can let the maid and mother-in-law take Mrs. Shen for a ride - Mrs. Shen is uncomfortable, isn't there still Mr. Shen? Companions do not lose companions. Mrs. Shen accompanied Gu Xi to Lin'an, even if there was anything wrong with Mrs. Shen, Gu Xi should send Mrs. Shen to her.
In her previous life, Yu Tang looked at Gu Xi and always admired her for being reasonable and generous, but at this time, it seems that this is not the case.
Maybe it was because she looked up to her a lot in her previous life and felt guilty about her, but by the time she felt that she could look at Gu Xi levelly, Yu Tang had already left the Li family and stood on the opposite side of Gu Xi.
Yu Tang pouted secretly with some disgust.
The third lady lowered her eyelids and did not say a word. The second and fourth ladies smiled and talked to Hexiang: "This is also a matter of no choice. No one thought that Mrs. Shen, who was usually cautious in her words and deeds, would get out of control for a while, and Sister Gu was also affected. He asked her again, "Sister Gu is okay?" Have you taken any medicine? ”
Hexiang replied respectfully.
The fifth lady looked left and right, and stopped talking.
Yu Tang stepped forward and took her hand and said in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”
The fifth lady hesitated for a moment, and saw that several sisters were walking in front of her, so she whispered: "Sister Yu, I heard that Sister Gu was frightened...... But I think she should go with Mrs. Shen...... If it were me, I would definitely be embarrassed to live in someone else's house like this......" As she spoke, she blushed, and said in a hurried tone like a speechless voice, "I don't want her to live in our house, I just think that she came with Mrs. Shen after all, and now Mrs. Shen must be very sad, she should go to comfort and comfort Mrs....... Shen."
Yu Tang listened and couldn't wait to pick up this little girl and kiss her. Although this little girl still can't tell the big truth, because of the pure kindness of her heart, she instinctively knows what she can do and what she can't do.
"I know." Yu Tang also whispered to her, "Everyone's temperament is different, and the way to deal with things is also different. Let's take care of ourselves first. ”
The fifth miss nodded with a smile, caught up with the fourth miss in a cheerful mood, and took the fourth miss into Gu Xi's house together.
Gu Xi estimated that he had already received the letter, and wore a half-new and not old gown with a green peony pattern, his long black hair was tied in a bun very casually, he did not wear jewelry, he only tied a white forehead bandana between his forehead, his face was haggard, his smile was bitter, and he went out of the inner room to greet them: "Are you here?" Why don't you send a maid to come over first, I'm better to prepare tea and snacks earlier. Hexiang, can you go and brew a pot of Xinyang Maojian that I brought from home, so that Miss Yu and a few sisters can also taste it? ”
Hexiang smiled and left.
The second lady stepped forward in three steps and two steps to help Gu Xi, and complained in her mouth: "Since my sister is uncomfortable, don't get out of bed to entertain us." Sister Yu and my three sisters came over, thinking that you were lonely, afraid that you would be lonely in your illness, cranky, and talk to you to relieve boredom. I didn't expect it to be tiring, so you have to spend your energy entertaining us. If we knew this was the case, we should have gone directly to Sister Yu and let you rest for a long time. ”
Gu Xi glanced at Yu Tang with a smile when he heard this, and said, "I'm not tired." If you don't come, I'll lie down. As you say, it will also be cranky. You're here, I'm lively here, let me know that my sisters don't dislike me, and I feel much better. ”
"How can we dislike my sister!" The fourth lady immediately said shrewdly, "We all feel sorry for my sister, it's too late?" Mrs. Shen is Mrs. Shen, Sister Gu is Sister Gu, we are not the kind of people who don't know right from wrong, Sister Gu, you can rest assured. The most important thing is to recuperate. ”
Gu Xi nodded again and again, looking very moved.
Yu Tang turned his face away, not wanting to see Gu Xi acting coy there.
Gu Xi has a strong temperament, if she really feels sorry, she will not apologize verbally, but will only find a way to help you in private. If she thinks she has done the right thing, she can apologize and apologize without money, and she will say as much as she wants to listen.
At this time, Gu Xi obviously didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him.
Hexiang came in with refreshments.
After everyone drank their tea, ate a little or two of snacks, and began to chatter.
Only then did Gu Xi know that the reason why they came at this time was because Yu Tang was also sick.
The second lady also said very bluntly: "If it weren't for Sister Yu's reminder, I would have almost been preparing to spend the whole day here." ”
"Really?" Gu Xi said, glancing at Yu Tang with a smile, and said in his words, "I didn't expect that after I got sick, Miss Yu was also sick." ”
Yu Tang wanted her to punch the cotton, but when she didn't hear it, not only was she not angry, but she also looked at Gu Xi with a smile and said, "Yes!" I didn't think of it either. ”
Gu Xi listened, only when Yu Tang was ridiculing her for pretending to be sick, she couldn't hold it back for a while, and her face sank.
Miss Fifth and Miss Fourth were very surprised, and looked at Gu Xi in a daze, at a loss.
The second lady frowned, and was about to speak, but was grabbed by the third lady who had been silent: "At that time, beads of sweat flowed down from Sister Yu's forehead, which frightened us. ”
She sighed, as if she was worried.
Gu Xi and Yu Tang were secretly surprised, the calm third lady didn't talk much on weekdays, and when she spoke, she hid a needle in her cotton, and she didn't know if she was intentional or unintentional? But whether it was intentional or unintentional, Gu Xi couldn't take what he said. Fortunately, there was Yu Tang, she smiled: "At that time, it was a little uncomfortable for a while, and it was good to pass." Didn't the doctor also say that it was okay? ”
The third lady smiled and didn't speak again.
But the atmosphere in the room also became a little stagnant.
Yu Tang looked at the second miss.
She is coming over, if she has nothing to do, Yu Tang is ready to leave.
She didn't want to see Gu Xi pretend to be sick here.
The second lady was probably a little embarrassed, and said a few words of concern to Gu Xi, and then got up to leave.
Yu Tang couldn't wait, no matter how Gu Xi kept it, Yu Tang didn't stay long.
Several young ladies in Pei's Mansion had lunch at Yu Tang's place, and the second miss may have never had anything to say to Yu Tang, maybe it was what happened to Gu Xi that made her unhappy, she quickly excused herself to take a lunch break, and in the afternoon, the third, fourth and fifth misses stayed with her to make silk flowers.
Yu Tang asked the three young ladies of the Pei family: "Why do Lao An people go to Ku'an Temple?" There is nothing in the Kuan Temple, what do the Lao An people go to do there? “
The fourth lady exclaimed when she heard this: "Sister Yu, the idlers don't know about Ku'an Temple at all, how do you know about Ku'an Temple?" Do you still know that there is nothing interesting about Ku'an Temple? Have you ever been to Kuan Temple? ”
Can't you go to Kuan Temple?
Yu Tang didn't have this impression.
But she was also the impression a few years later.
Could it be that at this time, Ku'an Temple still doesn't accept other people's incense?
Yu Tang is a little unsure. She had no choice but to say, "I've only heard of it, but I haven't been there." But I think, if this Ku'an Temple is so spiritual, why is it not famous at all in Lin'an City, so it can be seen that this temple is nothing remarkable. It's better to go to Zhaoming Temple. At least Zhaoming Temple can climb the mountain! “
The third lady laughed next to her and explained to Yu Tang softly: "Of course Ku'an Temple is not famous!" It is the family temple of our family, and it does not accept incense from outsiders. My grandmother and grandmother went over because it was almost the New Year, and my grandmother and my grandmother were going over there to donate incense money to Ku'an Temple. ”
Yes!
Yu Tang's eyes widened.
No, since it is the Pei family's family temple, how could her aunt's cousin be in the Ku'an Temple? And there are so many homeless people in the temple? Some of the women have lived in the monastery for more than ten years. When Kuan Temple took her in, wasn't it because there was a cousin of the eldest aunt who became a monk there? By the way, Ku'an Temple does not easily accept outsiders, and those who can enter are recommended by people in the temple. She was introduced by her aunt's cousin in the first place!
She was in a mess in her heart, as if something had happened and she couldn't catch it, so it took a while to sort out a clue and ask the third lady: "The person I know is the one whose husband died and has no heirs, and was forced to marry by his mother's family, so he ran to the temple to hide......"
"You're saying that the temple isn't a good person, is it?" The third lady said unhappily, "The rumors stop at the wise. This means that we need to read more, use our brains more, and hear what others say in order to know what is true and what is false. Ku'an Temple takes in a lot of homeless female laymen, but they are all poor people and good people. We are people who have read books, and we can't snub others because they have suffered badly! ”
Yu Tang smiled bitterly.
I didn't expect that one day I would be lectured by a little girl who was much younger than me.
She hurriedly said: "I don't mean to look down on them. I think that since Ku'an Temple is your family's family temple, how can it take in people like my eldest aunt and cousin? What if they don't want to take refuge in Buddhism? Not everyone can make up their minds to keep the three refuge and the five precepts. ”
Her aunt's cousin decided to convert to Buddhism after living in the temple for almost ten years.
The third lady tilted her head and looked at Yu Tang and said, "If they don't want to take refuge in Buddhism, they won't take refuge!" Anyway, there are many things that Buddhist monks can do, and our family is just trying to do something good and help some women in need! ”
