Chapter Forty-Seven: A Friend Comes from Far Away (Part I)

Wen Yi walked out of Qinglian Nunnery, feeling a little complicated. She turned around, with a shallow smile on her face, and titheed: "The owner of the nunnery, please stay." ”

The master of Qinglian Nunnery replied lightly and said, "The affairs of the Lingtang will be handled by the poor nuns with all their hearts, please Miss Nine don't worry." Thank you Miss Nine for sending the rice noodles, Miss Nine is kind, the nunnery is bitter, and there is only a cup of tea to entertain the guests, but I am rude. ”

Wen Yi said: "The owner of the nunnery was originally Wen Yi's elder, please don't have to ......be like this" Seeing Ruzhen lowered her eyebrows and looked at her, standing behind the owner of the nunnery without saying a word, with a somewhat humble appearance, she couldn't help but pause, and suddenly felt that she didn't know what to say, hesitated for a moment, and then lowered her voice and said: "If the masters in the nunnery still lack anything, and it is inconvenient to urge the stewards to send it, the owner of the nunnery will send someone to talk to Wen Yi." Although our family is not wealthy, we can still afford the rice and grain of several masters. If the owner of the nunnery thinks that Wen Yi's words are abrupt, he just doesn't hear it. ”

Although Qinglian Nunnery is the Gu family's nunnery, the practitioners in the nunnery are all women related to the Gu family, including the widowed Gu women, or the widows in the clan and the concubines of the ancestors, and there are supplies in the clan on weekdays, but most of the nuns here are helpless people, either relatives don't care, or the family members are dead, so the stewards who are responsible for sending the daily supplies do not take them to heart, occasionally steal a lazy, or send a few days late, or send some goods, sometimes the nuns in the nunnery have to use the saved sesame oil money to buy rice and noodles outside, I also plant some melons and vegetables in the open space behind the nunnery.

The owner of the nunnery herself is a widowed Gu girl, and she is Wen Yi's aunt in terms of seniority, but because she is a concubine, her biological mother is gone, and her husband's family doesn't care about it, so she can't say anything in the clan, so she can only go to various families from time to time to visit the door, so as to ask these wives and grandmothers who were originally her aunts, sisters-in-law and nephews to make up for their livelihood in the nunnery. But for the ladies of the Gu family's rooms, these nuns are just tools to pass the boredom in their spare time, even if they know that the owner of the nunnery is the daughter of the Gu family, they will have a contempt in their hearts, if they are in a bad mood, they will dislike them for having bad luck, that is, they occasionally give up some sesame oil money, but also give it to others to see, add glory to their faces, how the nuns in the nunnery live on weekdays, they will not take it to heart.

When the master of Qinglian Nunnery heard Wen Yi say such words, she couldn't help but be a little moved, but she had scruples and didn't want to say anything, so she had to bow her head: "Thank you, Miss is kind." The sixth old lady and Miss Nine are both devout people, and they usually come and go, Miss Nine is kind, how can the poor nun feel abrupt? She sighed in her heart, if it weren't for the fact that this ninth niece had some talents, how much better could the life of the two grandchildren of the sixth room be better than herself? It is rare that the two of them are kind-hearted, no matter what their family is, they do not forget to send grain and rice to the nunnery, and they never put up a fight when they meet, this sincerity is really rare.

Wen Yi smiled slightly, bowed back respectfully, and looked at Ruzhen again: "The master came to tell her grandmother the scriptures, and her old man was happy to hear it, if the master is free, please come back to the house to sit down." ”

A hint of joy flashed faintly between Ruzhen's eyebrows, and he clasped his hands together, a little more respectful than before: "Amitayus Buddha." Miss Nine spoke, and the poor nun bothered. ”

Wen Yi titheed again, asked the two teachers to stay, and then said goodbye and left, it was no one else who sent her out of the nunnery, it was the senior sister Jing'an in the previous life, and now Jing'an had a diligent and careful smile on her face, nodded her head, and asked Wen Yi to go slowly. Wen Yi felt awkward in her heart, so she asked her some questions such as whether it was only the master and apprentice who came, how was the master's health, and whether she could live here. Jing'an listened to her question, and was a little more attentive, not only answered in detail one by one, but also wanted to send Wen Yi all the way to Xuanhe Hall, but when she arrived at the place ten zhang in front of the nunnery, she ran into the mother-in-law who was guarding the periphery of the nunnery and was stopped. She originally came from other places to place orders, so it was not good to break the rules of Qinglian Nunnery, so she could only stammer a few more words, and then reluctantly watched Wen Yi take the girl away.

Wen Yi got into the carriage and drove away from Qinglian Nunnery, as if something had detached from her heart, there was a faint feeling of relaxation, she looked back at the senior sister who kept waving in front of the nunnery, and slowly leaned on the pillow behind her, closing her eyes: everything before rebirth is really gone, and at the moment when she was reborn after death, everything has changed.

But even if everything has changed, there is still a long way to go......

Back at Xuanhe Hall, Wen Yi went to her grandmother to ask for peace, explained everything she had done at Qinglian Nunnery, and then went back to the room, Zi Ying hurriedly greeted her and waited for her to wash her hands and face, and said: "Miss, next time you encounter this kind of thing, just send a mother-in-law to send the silver, why go in person?" In the end, you are a young girl's house, and you should have avoided it! ”

Shisu kept nodding beside him: "Isn't it?" The owner of the nunnery is just that, that nun named Jing'an is a real apprentice, right? There are no rules at all! Look at her stammering face! It's really unpleasant! ”

Wen Yi frowned slightly: "Okay!" They are serious monks in the end, but their lives are more difficult, so they have to put down their bodies, you don't want to laugh! ”

Zi Sakura was stunned, silently brought the basin to Xiuzhu, and waved her hand to go down. Zi Su didn't realize it yet, but smiled and said, "Miss, this is interesting, what do you mean by being a serious monk?" Is there anything serious or not serious for the monks? ”

Wen Yi's face sank, and he swept over with a sharp eye, and saw that Zi Su was stunned. Zi Sakura slapped the back of Shiso's head: "You're going to die!" What bastard words, dare to say it in front of the young lady?! Don't go outside and sweep the floor! “

Shisu went out with red eyes aggrievedly, and the other girls were also careful, not daring to laugh again. Ziying took the tea bowl from Qiuguo, gently put it on the table in front of Wen Yi, and said carefully: "Miss, someone from the school asked, are you going to class today?" ”

Wen Yi's expression eased, and she said lightly: "Naturally, I want to go, and I have missed the class for more than ten days." You told Dong Hua to sort out my class, wrap it carefully, and I'll go next morning. ”

Originally, Wen Yi had already gone to school in her previous life, and there were many affairs at home, so she had already made up her mind not to go to school. It's just that Mrs. Lu feels that the lessons she has taken in 'Dream' are not as reliable as those she has learned in person, so in addition to teaching herself, she also asks her granddaughter to go to school as much as possible. Therefore, when Wen Yi was in Guzhuang, eight out of ten days were going to class. After only one hour and another hour of female red class, because her daughter-in-law had already surpassed the sisters in the clan and reached the level of graduation, the female gentleman with academic qualifications reluctantly agreed to her exemption, but she had to hand in her opinions every month.

Wen Yi accompanied her grandmother to lunch, took a short break, changed her clothes, took the words she had written and the needlework she had done for more than ten days outside, and took a small car to the courtyard where the boudoir was located.

Boudoir School is located on the east side of Fang Xuanle Hall, just behind the three-room selection hall, which is a small courtyard with one out and two entrances.

The other it was originally part of the Xuanlu Hall, after the three rooms moved out of Guzhuang, the Xuanlu Hall was divided by several branches, this small courtyard was because of the small structure, the environment is beautiful, and it was the boudoir of the daughter of the three rooms, and was assigned to the boudoir by the long room.

There are now two female gentlemen, one surnamed Du, named Yizhen, is the sister of a friend of the second master of the long house, widowed for many years, as early as more than ten years ago had said that he wanted to come over to be a female gentleman, but at that time the second master was a continuation of the string and the exam, and she forgot for a while, and she was not good at taking the initiative, so it was delayed until the year before last, the second master and sister-in-law turned one year old, and the second wife made a post, prepared a bundle of repairs, and invited it with great fanfare. She is the daughter of the Pingyang clan, she has a good name, she is very outstanding in female popularity, and she is currently serving as the chief of the boudoir mountain.

Another female gentleman is also from an extraordinary background. The surname Luo, the name Diejun, the daughter of the family of the official eunuch, was originally a friend of Mrs. Jiang from the former boudoir. Although she looks ordinary, she was also a well-known talented woman when she was young, full of poetry and books, and she knew everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she had no luck, and her father married a military attache who did not know elegance, and she was very unhappy, and later her husband died on the border, she wanted to go back to her parents' house to rely on her brother and sister-in-law to live, but she couldn't bear her sister-in-law's cold words. Seeing this, Jiang repaired a letter and invited her to Pingyang to be the female gentleman of Gu's boudoir.

Wen Yi didn't have a good impression of these two female gentlemen in her previous life, she only remembered that Mr. Du would only praise the sisters in the long room for being excellent, and the sisters in the other rooms were mediocre, while Mr. Luo was slightly better, no matter which room it was, he would be disciplined if he didn't do well! Wen Yi's family was in a difficult situation at that time, and her needlework was not as colorful as that of other sisters, and because of her neglect of practice, she couldn't keep up with the progress of other sisters, so she was taught a lesson.

Today's class is Mr. Luo, Wen Yi sent the words up without being humble or arrogant, took out the needlework, put it aside, lowered his head slightly, and waited respectfully for Mr. to speak with a smile on his lips.

Mr. Luo only glanced at the needlework, then picked up the stack of words and looked at them one by one, and looked at the husband who had a cup of tea, and the girls sitting at the bottom couldn't help but start making small movements, so he said without being salty or indifferent: "It's just a hurry, and you should calm down to write, in order to cultivate your temperament, you are so panicked, you lose your grace, and you lose the bearing that our daughters should have." ”

Although Wen Yi didn't think so, he still responded respectfully, and Mr. Luo picked out dozens of words that were written "not graceful and upright" and threw them back to Wen Yi: "Take it back and rewrite it!" I'll take a look at it tomorrow. ”

Wen Yi obediently retreated and sat back in the position where she usually sits, at this time, the older girls in the room could still sit steadily, and the younger girls had already begun to talk to each other. Mr. Luo coughed in various ways, but the girls just didn't hear it, so angry that she shook her head and sighed: "It's not like words! That's not true! In the end, it was Wen Xian who started to make the room quiet.

Today's class was born from time to time, because Qingming is approaching, Mr. Luo taught a few poems related to Qingming, and said two or three allusions, and the time for class is up. Mr. Luo got up, and walked out slowly and elegantly, and the house immediately became noisy, and several little girls chattered about going to one of them to have a tea party, and said that the family had made some new snacks. A few big ones frowned and glanced at them a few times, and walked out gracefully, and the girl had already surrounded them and escorted them home.

Wen Yi always waited for everyone to leave before leaving, so she left behind and thought about how to arrange today's class, when she suddenly saw Wen Xian coming over, she wanted to speak and stopped, but she couldn't speak.

Wen Yi smiled: "Fifth sister has something to tell my sister?" ”

Wen Xian said hesitantly: "I heard...... You were ...... yesterday Speak of a steward ......"

Wen Yi was a little surprised, she thought that the fifth sister would tell her about the return of the sixth cousin Wen Hui, but she didn't expect that what she wanted to say was Zhou Fugui, so she frowned: "This is true, because he was responsible for putting new paint on his grandmother's yard last year, but he didn't expect him to cut corners, and the paint on last autumn is now peeling off, such a person has to teach his brother a lesson." Suddenly remembered that Zhou Fugui was originally a person from the long house, could it be ......

She asked, "Where did the fifth sister hear from you?" “

Wen Xian blushed slightly, and the girl who followed behind her looked anxious, so she spoke for her: "Miss Nine, that Zhou Fugui's family was originally the niece and daughter of our young lady's nurse!" Because her man was bad, she begged Miss and told her to be embarrassed! Actually, it's not a big deal, please Miss Nine for the sake of our young lady, let's take it lightly! “

Wen Xian turned around and scolded: 'Shut up! I haven't spoken yet, what are you talking about?! "Looking at Wen Yi again, his face turned even redder: 'Actually, I also know that he is wrong about this......"

Wen Yi smiled and said: Since the fifth sister opened her mouth, how could the younger sister not be? It's just one thing, it's better if he makes a mistake in something else, it's his grandmother's yard! If his sister spared him easily, wouldn't it seem that she didn't have enough respect for her grandmother? ”

Wen Xian lowered her head in disappointment, and smiled reluctantly: "This is right, he made a mistake, he should have been punished, and the ninth sister was punished well." Shiqin was anxious: "Miss! ”

Wen Yi glanced at her, and smiled again: "That's it, my sister went back and told them that the board would be sent for the time being, but it was grandmother's yard, and it had to be repainted." Tell Zhou Fugui to pay out of his own pocket! Be sure to use good paint, carefully brush it, if it is three or five years later, there is a problem, and the punishment will be doubled! ”

Hearing what Qin said, she was still a little dissatisfied, but Wen Xian was overjoyed, and I said Wen Yi's hand: "Good sister, thank you!" I'll tell them to go! ”

Wen Yi said with a smile: "This is a trivial matter, why should my sister say it in person?" Just send a personal message and say yes. Reasoning, the people below did a bad job and neglected, and they missed the master's business, and they should have been punished, and with the face of their relatives, it was really not like asking Miss Labor to intercede for him in person, and it was really not like saying that with the face of their relatives, it was really not like asking Miss Labor to intercede for him in person. I know my sister has a good temperament, but don't indulge them too much. ”

A trace of discomfort flashed on Shi Qin's face, but Wen Xian said gratefully: "Good sister, I know that you are thinking about me, but you are just ...... When others ask for me, I can't refuse it......"

Wen Yi sighed secretly in her heart, this cousin is too soft, so strange that even Wen Hui doesn't take her seriously, but she can't say anything, so she can only bow her head and pack up the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Wen Xian said again: "Good sister, you have been there for so many days, but you don't send me a message after you come back." You don't know, do you? The sixth sister and the seventh brother are here! I arrived last night. Sister Liu solemnly compensated in front of her grandmother, and said that she wanted to compensate you. Good sister, are you free for the next two days? How about sitting with me? I'm going to make peace with you, and I have a new sister to introduce you!"

Wen Yi smiled and only asked, "Which family's new sister is it?" ”

Wen Xian smiled, "It's our wife's maiden niece, who originally lived in Cannes, and her parents were gone, so she ran here." When I met her, I realized that there was such a kind girl in the world, you must like it when you see it! ”

Wen Yi slapped her hand, and a familiar face quickly flashed in her mind, and she couldn't help but be happy: How could you forget her? It turns out that she came at this time!
