18. Entering the hermitage
"Miss, I wonder who you're going to take to the nunnery?" Miaoeda asked about arranging people again.
"The nurse and you will be fine, and then you can bring a rough mother-in-law to work."
"There are too few people, how can they serve a good lady? Also, you have to keep someone reliable to look after the house. Those people outside were all arranged by the eldest lady, so it is better for the maid or the grandmother to stay and watch the house. Miaozhi said softly.
When you go out, you should generally leave a faithful person to watch over the house, so as to save the people below from causing trouble.
"I'm a poor man. What's there to see? I'm used to you. Besides, I'm an unfavored concubine, what do I do with so many people. But bring another white willow. Save her from being a demon at home. Everyone else is left to look after the house. ”
Rong Qiaoyan said as she looked at the room.
The decoration is not valuable, the ornament is not valuable, and the jewelry is just that, and I still have it.
The most valuable of them were the monthly silver, but they had been locked up in a box and hidden.
At that time, the door of the main house will be locked, and it is estimated that no one in the house will dare to come to their yard to steal things openly.
So, take this demon-like white willow out, and this yard should be safe, right?
When Miaozhi heard this, she looked at the room and was speechless.
Looking at the time, Rong Qiaoyan took Mama Yang and Miaozhi to Mrs. Tai together.
She didn't arrive early, she wasn't too late. After greeting Mrs. Tai, he sat in the house and waited.
After a while, everyone came, and they all went out together and got into the carriage.
The eldest lady wanted to stay in the house to preside over the feed, so she didn't go.
And Miss Seven and Miss Eight were too young, so they stayed in the mansion.
Therefore, Mrs. Tai took the eldest lady, the fourth lady and the two young ladies to sit in a carriage.
The second lady took the second and fifth ladies in a carriage.
Then, the third lady sat in a smaller carriage with Rong Qiaoyan.
Behind is the mother-in-law sitting in the carriage with luggage.
Next to him was the uncle Rong Zhiming, riding a horse and guarding the courtyard.
A mighty group of men and horses walked in the direction of the city gate.
After going out of the city gate and waiting outside the city gate for a while, the prince of Dingbian Hou came over to escort the carriage and horse of Mrs. Dingbian Hou.
After the two sides met, they chatted briefly and went to the Compassion Nunnery together.
Cixin Nunnery is the most famous nunnery in the capital, but it is next to Wenshan outside the city.
Next to the Jishin Nunnery is the national temple of the capital, Cirui Temple.
The presiding officer of Cirui Temple and the presiding officer of Cixin Nunnery are brothers and sisters. Therefore, the relationship between the two temples is also relatively good.
And because the two families are close, if the house goes to incense, the male guests will go to Cirui Temple to stay overnight, and the female guests will go to the Cixin Nunnery to stay.
In general, if the female relatives of official families stay overnight, they will choose the Compassion Nunnery.
The presiding priest of the temple, Master Jingshan, is a enlightened bhikshuni with boundless Dharma.
Originally, on the first and fifteenth days of the new year, there were a lot of people offering incense in the nunnery, and recently the pure good master had just come out of retreat to give lectures.
In this Great Fa meeting, Master Jingshan will give a lecture for three days. Since the beginning of the new year, there have been three lectures every morning.
Therefore, there are more people who wear incense.
Therefore, everyone didn't say much, and planned to talk again when they got to the nunnery.
Because most of the carriages were filled with women, the speed of the carriage slowed down.
When we arrived at the temple, the sun was already shining.
After getting out of the carriage, the bhikshuni welcomed everyone to the backyard.
As she walked, she said, "Ladies and gentlemen, there are many pilgrims who have come to this festival, so the monastery is a little nervous. Thank you for your understanding. ”
Mrs. Rong and Mrs. Dingbian Hou both said that they understood and understood, but they didn't think so.
After all, they had already arranged for their subordinates to come over and settle down the Zen monastery.
But when everyone arrived in the backyard, they found that there were only three large courtyards that had been set.
The layout of the large courtyard is one main room with two ear rooms, and two side rooms with two ear rooms each.
The transept is mainly for the servants to live, so this large courtyard can only accommodate three masters according to the rule.
These three large courtyards are naturally one each of Mrs. Dingbian Hou and Mrs. Rong, as well as the second lady.
Mrs. Dingbian Hou is okay, she only brought two young ladies over, and the wing room in the courtyard can be lived.
But there are a lot of female dependents in the Rong Mansion.
Therefore, Mrs. Rong's face was a little unsightly, and she only felt that she had been disgraced.
"I'm really sorry, just now the second princess suddenly came to Xiao'an and said that she was going to stay here tonight. So..... ”
The bhikshuni hurriedly apologized.
The Buddha said that all beings are equal.
It's just that here are the princesses, but these bhikshunis who serve the Buddha can't be treated equally.
And Mrs. Rong heard that it was the second princess who occupied the courtyard set by her, so she quickly retracted her face and said things like no hindrance.
The second lady looked at the young ladies and hesitated for a while, then asked Mrs. Rong for advice, and then assigned the yard.
Mrs. Rong took the eldest lady and the fourth lady to live together.
The second lady took the second lady and the third lady to live together---------- the second lady didn't want to see her own concubine, and she was even more out of sight at the moment.
Therefore, the most unfavored fifth lady Rong Qiaorou and sixth miss Rong Qiaoyan were divided into a small courtyard with only one main room and one wing room each with an ear room according to the ranking.
However, after Rong Qiaoyan and the others went over to look at it, they found that this courtyard was not only biased but also very broken.
The courtyard is facing the back mountain, and it looks very dilapidated.
The bhikshuni also had some embarrassment on his face.
This yard is used as a standby on weekdays, and it is not usually used, so I don't care about maintaining it.
Today, the second princess suddenly occupied the courtyard set by the Rong Mansion, and the donors of other families came relatively early, only the Rong Shoufu Mansion and the Dingbian Marquis Mansion came relatively late.
It's too late to change the yard temporarily.
Fortunately, they inquired about the news and knew that there were many concubines in Rong's mansion, so they quickly unlocked this spare Zen courtyard and prepared to live for the concubines.
Before I could clean it, people came.
This courtyard, not to mention the wings, even the main house is not as good as the wings of the big yard.
Rong Qiaorou looked at the house, and her face was a little unbearable.
I can't stand her nurse who keeps chattering next to her, this house is too broken, even the ear room in the second lady's yard is much better than this main house.
Rong Qiaorou looked at the silent Rong Qiaoyan, "Sixth sister, you clean up the house first." I went to see if my mother could help me. ”
After speaking, she took the nurse and the big maid and went out.
At the same time, Miaoshu also motioned to the maids and mothers-in-law they brought to look at the luggage.
Bai Liu looked at the backs of Rong Qiaorou who was walking away with Nana and Miaoshu, and then looked at the two subordinates who gathered by the wall and watched the salute.
She couldn't help but whisper indignantly and said, "Fifth Miss, this is for you to clean up the room, and they come to live in it?" It's such a bully. ”
