Chapter 5
Xin's mother applied Qu Muge's injury medicine, Qu Muge redressed and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks on the dinner table with Xin's mother.
When the two walked to the kitchen with dishes and chopsticks, Qu Muge saw Gu's mother and son talking in the courtyard, she quietly glanced at Gu Nanye, but she didn't expect to meet Gu Nanye.
Gu Nanye's eyes were too sharp, as if he wanted to see people's hearts.
Qu Muge panicked in his heart, and immediately lowered his head, and the bowl in his hand almost fell.
"Just, I saw a bare back applying medicine, what did I panic about...... Just wear a backless outfit, there's nothing to care about......"
Qu Muge is doing psychological construction for himself, but his face is still red.
When she arrived at the kitchen, Xin's mother asked her to hand over the things to be washed, and explained: "There are people to do the chores in the courtyard, and you don't need to do it, but the general doesn't like these people to be close to his wife, so he doesn't allow them to enter the courtyard." β
Qu Muge nodded, no wonder she couldn't see anyone waiting beside Mrs. Gu.
Qu Muge tried to ask about his "job responsibilities".
Mother Xin said with a smile: "Madame's life is simple, worship Buddha in the morning and evening, serve flowers and plants in the morning, and copy Buddhist scriptures or write some calligraphy and paintings in the afternoon. If you feel that you have nothing to do, you can help your lady with all the flowers and plants, or grind and wash the pen. β
It's been a quiet day......
Qu Muge had some doubts in his heart, the Gu family has a big business, doesn't the housemother have to take care of things?
Mrs. Gu is nearly forty years old, but she looks very young, although her dress and living are very simple, but her own temperament is gentle with a bit of girlish liveliness, not like a dull person who wants to be accompanied by the Buddha's green lantern.
It's like a smart bird that is locked in a cage and has to live like this.
She then thought of the gossip she heard from the pilgrims in the temple yesterday, maybe Mrs. Gu really wanted to reduce the killing accumulated by General Gu on the battlefield, so she prayed to the Buddha here to pray for blessings.
Qu Muge shook her head and didn't think about it anymore, the affairs of the master's family were not something that she, a newcomer who had just been on the job for a day, could explore.
In the afternoon, Mrs. Gu asked Xin's mother to place Qu Muge in the small courtyard to live.
She didn't have any luggage, so she carried two important documents with her.
Xin's mother took her to live in the inverted room on the north side: "Madame's living room is in the main house, the west wing room is Madame's study, the general temporarily lives in the east wing, and I am in the room next to you." β
After staying here, Qu Muge went to Mrs. Gu to thank him.
Mrs. Gu was copying Buddhist scriptures in the west wing, and after listening to her thanks, she stopped writing and said, "If you have any daily necessities, just tell Mother Xin, she will arrange someone to buy them for you." β
As she spoke, she looked at the clothes on Qu Muge's body and said, "This set of clothes on your body was bought temporarily, it doesn't fit very well, and after two days of things in the temple, I'll take you down the mountain to buy clothes." β
Qu Muge was a little flattered, and said: "Madame has been a great grace to save me, I haven't done anything for Madame, how can I spend your extra money?" β
Mrs. Gu shook her head and said, "I only have one son, Ono, who went to the army at the age of fourteen and is not by my side all the year round. Now that you have met me, it is our fate, I feel sorry for you and like you, so you don't want to see me. β
Qu Muge is a stupid and thin-skinned person, and he can't say anything about thanksgiving and gratitude, and he is blocked in his heart.
Seeing her blushing, Mrs. Gu changed the topic and said, "Do you like to read?" If you want, I can teach you to read. β
Peasant women are generally unqualified to study, and Ye Taohua's life is so miserable that Mrs. Gu thinks she is illiterate.
Although Qu Muge has read a book, this book is not another book, although many things can be universal, but there are also many things that are different, Mrs. Gu is willing to teach her, she is naturally willing.
Gu Nanye came back from running errands outside, although his face was expressionless as usual, his eyes were as cold as snow, and there was a sense of anger all over his body.
He passed by the West Wing, heard his mother's laughter coming from the room, and couldn't help but stop.
Through the half-open window, Mrs. Gu looked at Qu Muge with a look of surprise and asked, "What about this word?" Do you remember how to pronounce it? β
Qu Muge looked at the "Thousand Character Text" written by Mrs. Gu on the paper, and replied: "Que, the sword number is huge, and the pearl is called the night light." β
Mrs. Gu was so happy and said, "In just half an hour, you can learn fifty words, such a talent, it's a pity not to read." β
Qu Muge blushed again......
Although these words are complicated and simplified, she still recognizes them, and now she pretends to be blind and learns them from the beginning, she is very weak-minded......
Mrs. Gu suddenly saw her son outside the window, beckoned and shouted: "Ono, you are back, come in and see, Peach Blossom is very smart in reading......
Gu Nanye paused, put away the anger on his body, walked into the west wing as peacefully as possible, and shouted "Mother".
Mrs. Gu praised Qu Muge, and then instructed her son: "You send someone back to the house and find all the books for your enlightenment, just for Peach Blossom." β
Qu Muge listened to Mrs. Gu keep calling her "Peach Blossom", and couldn't help but say: "Madam, I want to change my name, I, I don't want to be called Ye Taohua." β
Mrs. Gu didn't like this local name either, and thought that she should have a new beginning, so she nodded: "New name and new life, can you think of what to change?" β
Qu Muge paused, pointed to the "Taixuan Sutra" on the table and said, "Taixuan, I want to be called Ye Taixuan." β
Mrs. Gu looked at her in surprise and muttered, "You may not know much about the Taixuan Sutra, this name doesn't seem to be very suitable for women......"
The beginning of the Tai, the profound is deep.
The Taixuan Sutra is a Taoist work, a philosophical book that explores the relationship between heaven, earth and man.
Taixuan, and the fighting machine of the north, the Beidou rotates around the North Pole, which can be used as a calibration, and the time and space are unified.
Qu Muge changed her name to Taixuan, with her deep meaning, it is normal for Mrs. Gu not to understand.
At this time, Gu Nanye said: "The sky is mysterious, the earth is invisible, and people are mysterious. Ye Taixuan, this name is very good. β
Mrs. Gu looked at her son in surprise, then at Qu Muge, and said helplessly: "Okay, since you all like it, why should I stick to the rules." It's called Taixuan, and it's also very good. β
Qu Muge, who got the new name, was very happy, and didn't notice the look of surprise that flashed in Gu Nanye's eyes.
ββIn the previous life, in the fourth year of Taiping, Emperor Yongdi found the princess who had been in exile for 17 years, gave him the title Taixuan, and built Taixuanguan for her to recuperate.
