The abbot of Xianyuan Nunnery is called Bojing Lao Nun, and it is also rumored that she is called Bojing Duanhui Concubine, but in fact she is not the concubine herself, but the concubine who serves in front of the court. To get to the root of the matter, Mr. Yao told Zhuo Yiting: Concubine Bojing Duanhui was originally the concubine of the first emperor's favorite, and she was favored in the harem, so you can know what she is good at. Later, he was framed by the current Queen Mother, fell out of favor and closed, and then expelled from the palace. The current queen mother is not the queen of the first emperor's palace, as for why she can become the current queen mother is unknown, some people speculate that the current queen mother murdered the queen mother to get this honor. Regarding this, Zhuo Yiting heard the version mentioned by his mother be a little different from this, such as his grandfather fought for the throne for the first emperor, and his grandmother protected the harem for the queen mother, the queen mother at that time was not the queen of the throne, why is the queen mother like this now? Now I heard that the current Queen Mother was not the queen at that time, why is the current Queen Mother and the current emperor so good to her? It's confusing.

Mr. Yao said: "Because she was murdered and expelled by the current Queen Mother, this Bojing Duanhui Concubine hated and poisoned her. often said to people that the Queen Mother was 'Ma Bailiu', and those unbearable insulting words. At first, the Queen Mother also asked people to trouble the concubine, but then she ignored it, and the concubine was left to fend for herself. After many years, the concubine died of illness, and the current old nun took over the nunnery. This old nun listened to the instructions of the concubine at that time, and cultivated herself and cultivated her qi for the rest of her life, otherwise the poisonous hands in the palace would not stop, so she hated and poisoned those arrogances and collected them cleanly, and never mentioned the affairs in the palace again. If it weren't for your sister entering the palace at that time, your father wouldn't have thought of the descendants of this concubine. ”

Along the way, Mr. Yao told Zhuo Yiting's master and servant about his sister Concubine Yuan and Concubine Bojing Duanhui, and had to talk about Bojing Laoni's involvement, so as to warn Zhuo Yiting how to deal with her words.

At that time, my sister entered the palace, and her mother wanted her to go to Zhuangfu to plan her future, but her father didn't know why she didn't come to Zhuangfu after sending her to Beijing without telling her mother, and came directly to Xianyuanan. If it weren't for Mr. Yao's explanation, I'm afraid no one would know the cause and effect of this matter. Mr. Yao said: "Your father was worried that your sister would be bullied if she didn't know the rules after entering the palace, so he came to the concubine for guidance. In other words, the old lady of Zhuangfu, that is, your grandmother, she has been in the palace for many years, and she has qualifications and can be taught by her own people, but I don't know why I don't ask for her help but find someone from the concubine's side. The reason for this is probably known only to your father. When your sister arrived in Beijing, I took the head thirty miles outside the city, quietly entered the city, and got into this Xianyuan Nunnery. It just so happened that the old nun had a sick disease, and no prescription could be used, and she coughed day and night, and then your sister gave her a medicinal fruit that she brought from the south, and she was cured after eating it. In this way, after asking about the origin and purpose, Lao Ni left your sister without asking anything else. After that, he taught her how to serve people in the palace, how to deal with it, and how to do that. Presumably, your sister entered the palace to be favored and concubined, and most of the credit of this old nun is also due to this! ”

Hearing this, Zhuo Yiting couldn't help but think that his father arranged his sister in Xianyuan Nunnery, presumably because he knew that his grandmother's house was unreliable. Now she didn't know what to say, and she didn't ask more, but she just listened to Mr. Yao continue: "Your sister has been favored all the way to the palace, and she gets along with the emperor very well, and she will serve the queen mother." Of course, it is not a problem to seal concubines and concubines. Later, with a position, Concubine Yuan repaid the favor to the old nun and sent a lot of money and silver, and the emperor knew that he was afraid that the queen mother would be angry, so he found some incense and ointment from the beginning, and finally justified the name. The queen mother didn't investigate it at first, but then she saw that it was frequent, so she looked for the emperor, and Concubine Yuan was afraid that the queen mother would blame the emperor, so she asked the emperor to stop, and she never helped Xianyuan'an again. ”

Zhuo Yiting was puzzled and asked, "How does Mr. know so clearly?" ”

Mr. Yao smiled silently, and found a reason to say: "I also heard that the so-called rumors in the rivers and lakes. The rivers and lakes are not rumors that fool people. Just listen to the pastime. But one thing is important, you still ask for advice this time, and you want to enter the palace as an excuse. ”

Zhuo Yiting said: "There is no general election in the palace, if you ask, how to answer?" ”

Mr. Yao said: "I said that I went to see your sister, I was afraid that I would stay in the palace." Naturally, this time, you are in the nunnery, stay right, and learn some ways of dealing with the world. After all, the less people know about the theft of the family, the better. ”

Sanxi interjected on the side: "What if Lao Ni doesn't agree?" ”

Mr. Yao shook his head and didn't say anything, took out a cardboard box from the cloth bag he was hanging, and opened it to see that it was Luo Han Guo from the south. Mr. Yao said: "The heart is sincere, and it is the destiny of heaven whether it will succeed or not." If not, you can only go home with me and live for the time being, how about being my daughter? ”

The three of them planned and made a plan, and then came to the True Cultivation House.

The Shin Monastery is not a house, but a rock wall split at the top of the mountain, in which a cave is dug out for people to practice and rest. From a distance, half of the mountain spires straight to the sky, surrounded by mist, and dwarf pines and camellia grow on the undeveloped mountain rocks. Above the flattened door wall, a piece of uneven horizontal batch of stones is raised, which is engraved with three words "true repair house", the entrance of the stone door is blocked by a red gold broken stone as a door, the door is inlaid with ancient wooden strips, Rao is a little warm and interesting, compared with the stiffness of the mountain stone, it adds a touch of popularity, and the wooden strips are engraved with patterns such as lotus auspicious clouds respectively. The stone on the left side of the door is engraved with a couplet, which reads: "True, true and false, falling into the dust", and the stone on the right side is also engraved with a couplet: "Dream dreams and dreams of the world"

A few zhang away from the stone gate grows an old weeping willow, and then there is a broken pavilion, there is a stone cut eight immortal table in the pavilion, there is a hole dug in the center of the table, and there are some orchids growing in the hole. Outside the pavilion, the hillside is full of plum and peach trees. This season is April, the plum blossoms fall to the end, the branches emerge new green, only the peach tree is strange, after the flowering season, the branches are still full of bloom, or the bones are blooming, or the splendid clusters, there are pink, white, light green, deep blood red, like a beauty hundred and hundred, so that people love and do not know.

Mr. Yao invited Zhuo Yiting's master and servant to sit in the pavilion.

Sanxi Qi said: "People must be inside, I'll knock on it." ”

Zhuo Yiting said: "It's a good time." Master is cultivating inside, and the hour has not yet come, so why should we wait. Not in a hurry. After hearing this, Sanxi turned around and sat aside.

Mr. Yao didn't say a word, and stood on the edge of the pavilion with his hands behind his back, looking at the misty scenery in the distance.

Sanxi muttered, "If the master doesn't come out today, why are we waiting here?" Why not go find someone else? It's the same. ”

Zhuo Yiting glanced at Mr. Yao, and saw that Mr. Yao still didn't speak, so he said to Sanxi: "Since Mr. wants us to come to this master, he naturally has a reason for Mr. ”

Sanxi muttered, and said, "The girl shouldn't have rushed into that nun just now." ”

Zhuo Yiting said: "How can I want to manage the affairs of other people's families, presumably the little master is controlled by others, and he can't even keep his thoughts at home." It's pitiful. ”

Mr. Yao turned around and said, "Poor people must have something to hate." ”

Zhuo Yiting said angrily: "This kind of Buddhism pure land, there is such a thing, everyone can spit on it when they see it, let alone Mr. and me." ”

Mr. Yao said: "The girl's temperament is to suffer, so be more cautious." ”

Zhuo Yiting lowered his head, thinking that it was not wrong, so he softened his tone and said: "What Mr. Yao taught is that Yiting remembers." ”

Sanxi said: "Even nuns can bully people like this, but I think the government doesn't care about this place, we hide here, and the government is afraid that it won't be found!" ”

Zhuo Yiting reminded Sanxi of "shh Zhuo Yiting stood up, walked out of the pavilion and stood still on the edge of a peach tree, stretched out the tender fingers of the jade shoots, stroked the delicate flowers on the branches, and couldn't help muttering: "The world is full of fragrant flowers in April, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are in full bloom." The situation is good, and Lin Kui's 'sit on the stone by the stream, looking for flowers and walking around the temple' is more suitable for this trip. ”

Sanxi walked over and said, "Girl, the weather is still cold, sit warmer." ”

Zhuo Yiting didn't pay attention to it, and he didn't pull out, looking at the condensation on the peach blossom petals, his tears couldn't help but fall: "I don't wait for the flowers to bloom this year, who will be there next year." I remember that when I didn't enter Beijing, there were peach blossoms in my hometown, and my sister didn't enter the palace in the old days, and my father and mother loved us a lot, but now they are all gone, and when we open and close our eyes, it's like a world away. Since then, 'the flowers are similar every year, but the people are different every year'."

Mr. Yao paced over and comforted him carefully: "Don't be sad, girl, once this catastrophe is over, I will find a way to communicate with the Zhuang Mansion, and if I enter their mansion as soon as possible, I don't have to be afraid." ”

Zhuo Yiting wiped his tears and said with a reluctant smile: "Mr. is relieved to me, why not a sheep in the mouth of a tiger?" ”

Mr. Yao said: "If you don't get into the mouth of the tiger, you can get the tiger? It is also for the spirit of your father and mother in heaven. ”

Sanxi pinched a white peach blossom, pinned it to himself, and said unabashedly: "Girl, I don't understand what Mr. means, but I can't say that my relative's lord has reported our lord at the house, I'm really angry!" ”

Zhuo Yiting said solemnly: "Whistle-blowing? My father was loyal to the court and offered his sister to the palace to serve the emperor, how could he be rebellious? Inform against? That's a white wrong, a false accusation! Frame! ”

Mr. Yao looked left and right, and said cautiously: "Girl, be careful that there are people outside the ear tree on the wall." Fu said: "The ancients said: 'I am afraid that the things of the eyes are not true, how can I believe all the words behind it.'"

Mr. Yao's words did not fall, only heard the sound of a clattering tree, looked away, behind the bushes in the distance, a person stood there, it was the middle-aged nun who had trained the little nun before, she saw Zhuo Yiting and others looking over, so she pulled away and left quickly. must have been watching the three of them, and the distance was far away, and she might not have heard the words of the three of them truly.

Mr. Yao was worried that something would go wrong, so he stopped talking, and once Sanxi spoke, he gestured to stop it. In this way, when the sun closes and the sun obscures, the sky gradually darkens.

After another pot of tea, a group of nuns came from the cobblestone path outside. At the head are two small ni who carry the lamp; Later, four sturdy middle-aged nuns carried an empty step; Two of the last four younger nuns were holding incense sticks from the incinerator and two of them carrying wooden basins and face towels filled with water; After that, there were two little nuns side by side, one holding a rather luxurious blue velvet robe, and the other holding a teacup. They were followed by some elderly nuns, and the middle-aged nuns and the young nuns who had been trained were at the bottom of the line. They walked silently towards the stone gate like ghosts.

When the little nun who was trained passed by Zhuo Yiting, she glanced sideways slightly, and Zhuo Yiting smiled politely. When the group gathered at the door, they suddenly saw the two little nuns led by the group lighting up the lanterns. Yu Bi, wait later. It was dark, and after a while, I saw the stone door rattling, and it didn't take long for the stone door to open, and there was no starlight in the dark inside, and through the two lanterns at the door, there was a trace of mist floating in the air.

Zhuo Yiting and Sanxi didn't blink their eyes, and Mr. Yao was also fascinated, and they all knew that Lao Nun was going to come out to watch, and they had never seen such a battle, so it was very novel. Immediately after that, I saw four nuns walking into the stone door cave, and after a while, a dying rich old nun was brought out. The following nuns stepped forward in turn, the incense bearer walked around the step, and the last two nuns with a wooden basin squatted down to wipe the old nun, clean their faces and hands, and after a cup of tea, two old nuns went to take off the dirty robes on their bodies for the rich old nuns, and put on blue velvet robes again, and the nuns in the tea cup at the back offered tea, rinsed their mouths, and cleaned their hands. A group of people turned their heads in an orderly manner, and raised their steps to leave.

Seeing that the nuns were about to carry the rich old nuns away, Mr. Yao hurriedly stepped forward.

Mr. Yao said: "He Lao Xian's family came out to watch. ”

The rich old nun originally closed his eyes, heard the voice, slightly raised his sparse eyebrows, coughed before he could speak, and the little nun on the side held tea to moisten her throat, and then, without much words, the old Niyang gestured to continue to lift away.

Mr. Yao stepped forward in a hurry and said earnestly: "The lady in the palace is worried about the immortal body of the old immortal family, and she asked for holy medicine. ”

The rich old nun's hand on the edge of the bowl moved slightly, and the step stopped, and then opened his eyes and took a closer look at Mr. Yao. Mr. Yao was delighted and hurriedly beckoned Zhuo Yiting to come forward.

Zhuo Yiting deeply gave a blessing to the rich old nun, and the old nun looked at it thoughtfully for a long time without speaking.

Mr. Yao said again: "The old immortal family has become more and more saintly immortal. Niangniang often thinks about the kindness of the old fairy family, and asks for fruits. As he spoke, he took out the carton of Luo Han Guo from the cloth bag and showed it to the old nun. When Lao Ni saw it, the corners of his mouth smiled, and his eyes looked directly at Zhuo Yiting.

After a long time, the old nun said: "Sure enough, it's an old man." ”

At this point, Zhuo Yiting saw that things were in order, and he breathed a sigh of relief. The master and servant thought about it, this old nun is the personal person of Concubine Bojing Duanhui, is it not Bojing Laoni?
