Chapter 5: The Secret of the Nunnery
After returning to Shuiyun Nunnery, the masters in the nunnery glanced at the embarrassed master and servant, and they both covered their lips and smiled. According to the pungent nature of the green shoots, he must have argued with them, but now he didn't even have the strength to open his eyes, and he fell to the ground before entering the room.
Chu Xi touched her hot forehead, and felt uncomfortable in her heart.
In the past few days, Green Sprouts have been doing manual work day and night, cold and snowy, wearing only two thin old cotton clothes, and they can't keep out the cold at all.
"Why don't you see Myohyun?" There was a voice at the door, and Chu Xi quickly recalled this person in her mind, her name was Miaoyin, and she had the best relationship with Miaoxian, and she was the one who made her bad behind her back on weekdays, and she was born in the thirty-five or sixteenth grade, but she always loved to apply grease and powder.
"I don't know." Chu Xi replied lightly, got up and rummaged through the room, but only found a silver hairpin that was not very good, frowned, put it in his sleeve and planned to grab medicine for Green Sprout for a while.
But Miaoyin is a person who sees money, and when she looks at the silver light, a pair of hanging eyes light up, and she stepped forward to snatch the hairpin in her hand. Chu Xi had already been prepared, and when she saw her pounce, she stepped aside, Miaoyin couldn't hold back the strength under her feet, and hit the corner of the table in front of her, grinning in pain: "You want to kill me, you slut!" ”
Listening to Miaoyin's angry words, Chu Xi chuckled: "I'm going to ask the host Mrs. if the teachers in the nunnery talk to people like this." ”
Miao Yin is stopped, there are rules in the nunnery, she can bully this broken young lady, but she can't spread her notoriety outside.
Miao Yin glanced at Chu Xi dissatisfied, looked at the green shoots lying on the bed, and sneered: "Although you treat me well, but the monks, you still have to do good deeds, don't say I didn't tell you, the thirty square handkerchiefs you want to embroider this month, the fifteen loads of firewood that you want to split have not been finished yet, and there are still three large basins of clothes to be washed by the masters, this is approaching the end of the year, but don't even have to eat the New Year's dinner at that time." With that, Miao Yin turned around and left.
Chu Xi watched her leave lightly, this nunnery, the people in the whole nunnery were very strange, not to mention the fat powder all over her body, it was very rare to see pilgrims coming here, but the Chu family still sent her over.
In the past two or three years, all the silver coins and Zhu Hai jewelry that her mother gave her, and even the better clothes have been taken away by these nuns. Not only that, but she and the two maids were forced to do manual work every day in exchange for a little rice every day, and their master and servant almost became the servants in this nunnery.
Thinking of another Yahuan, Chu Xi sighed lightly in her heart, the gentle and polite Yahuan suddenly disappeared a year ago, and there was only one corpse after it was recovered. I used to think that she really rolled down the hill at night and fell to her death, but now it seems that I am afraid that she will not be able to get rid of these evil nuns.
"Miss......" Lu Ya regained some consciousness, and looked at Chu Xi, who had been standing by the door, and called softly.
Chu Xi came back to her senses and walked to the bedside: "I'll go down the mountain to buy you some medicine in a while." ”
As soon as she heard that Chu Xi was going down the mountain, Lu Ya hurriedly grabbed her hand, and her face flushed slightly: "No!" Green Sprouts was very resolute: "Unless someone from Chu Mansion comes to pick you up, you must not go down the mountain!" Green Sprout clutched Chu Xi's clothes.
Seeing her like this, Chu Ji's eyebrows jumped slightly: "Did you see something?" ”
Green Sprout shook her head weakly, but she didn't have the strength to say more. Chu Xi looked at the frowning green sprouts, and suddenly remembered one thing, that is, a scandal in the King of Xiaoyao back then, although the King of Xiaoyao suppressed this matter, and no one told her, but in the palace, there are always some rumors, the King of Xiaoyao borrowed the name of the nunnery to raise the dead, not only that, this nunnery started a skin and meat business, and the people who came and went were all the people in the rivers and lakes, there were also peddlers and pawns, and there were also rich businessmen, in order to get news from their mouths and spread the news.
