12 Perfecting one another
Lianxi Nunnery is a well-known local nunnery, the reason why it is called Lianxi Nunnery is that it is next to a big lotus pond, at this time in late autumn, the lotus pond is full of dead branches and leaves, and a few residual lotus looks lonely.
In the upper reaches of the lotus pond, there are nuns fetching water, carrying two wooden barrels and shuttling among them.
Xiao Fu saw her daughter lying on the car window and looking outside, and let her do so, because of herself, her daughter rarely goes out, and children are always happy when they go out, so she didn't stop her.
Why does Liu Chengxu attach so much importance to this case, firstly, it is indeed because the missing bhikshuni is the responsibility of the government, and secondly, it is also because there is a female crown living in this Lianxi Nunnery.
Although this female crown is incognito, she actually has a lot of background.
Liu Chengxu was whispering to Xiao Fu: "Chi Nuguan was originally the daughter-in-law of King Jing's eldest son, and her maiden home is the Earl's Palace, and her cousin is the current queen's mother. This King Jing is the emperor's most trusted younger brother and minister, when King Jing's eldest son died of illness, Chi Nuguan insisted on being widowed at the door, King Jing refused, and let people persuade her, but in the end she couldn't resist her. Now, King Jing has long since passed away, and the last person to take the throne in King Jing's Mansion was his young son. The Chi family then took her back, and in the past few years, she heard that her father and mother had passed away, so she has been practicing here. ”
"Why practice in Jiujiang? Jiujiang is also not a big place. Xiao Fu felt strange.
Liu Chengxu said: "Because Chi Nuguan's family is from here, I heard that she has lived here for a few years since she was a child. ”
This is the difference between the children of the eunuchs and the children of the Han family, the Liu family has been eunuchs for generations, and his father is the commander of the Jinyi guard, and when he was in the court, he stood in the first place among the military attachés.
Therefore, Liu Chengxu has a family history and is familiar with the officialdom.
Xiao Fu originally just wanted to contribute to Liu Chengxu and strengthen his position, but now he glanced at his daughter, if he could let his daughter fall in love with Chi Nuguan, there would be one more way.
Lishu also seemed to have a heart, and she could think of her mother's intentions.
Sure enough, the little Fu family who entered Lianxi Nunnery prepared a gift first, and also led Lishu to see Chi Nuguan. The nunnery is still open to outsiders normally, the incense here is very prosperous, and the government wants to find the reason for the disappearance, of course, it can't seal this place, otherwise if the thieves knew, they would have run away a long time ago, so there would be no way to catch the real murderer.
Lishu is not very enthusiastic about this, she doesn't think that a woman should be a widow for her husband's family, although it is voluntary, it also shows that she is pedantic. Of course, there is also a saying that it may not be good to remarry, but how can you find it clear if you don't try?
In the previous life, the old Wusun King passed away, and their concubines were about to be taken in by the old king's son, the new king, and some people felt that humanity was in the way, and even hanged themselves to death, but Lishu survived tenaciously.
Chi Nuguan lived in a quiet courtyard, the rules were very strict, there were people inside and outside, and after a while, a servant dressed in blue clothes and holding his hair with a wooden hairpin came out to lead them in.
Lishu glanced at the servant, dressed very plainly, which was very in line with the standard of a widow.
The courtyard is very simple, there is only an old locust tree, the osmanthus has withered, there seems to be a burst of residual fragrance in the air, and there is a well next to the locust tree.
The room is also very simple, a bed, a few cases, a Buddhist shrine, a plate of soy beans and a bowl of rice on several cases.
The servant in Tsing Yi said, "Mrs. Shi, Mrs. Liu is here." ”
In this way, someone slowly came out of the second room, she was dressed in brown bhikshuni clothes, her hair was still left, she was already a little gray, and she was very thin. Lishu knew her age, in fact, she was only about the same age as Liu Chengxu, in her thirties, but her skin was all collapsed, and the whole person was dull.
Xiao Fu bowed and explained his intentions: "I heard that several nuns in the nunnery are missing, and my family asked me to draw a portrait so that I can find the thief quickly." If it's too clear to disturb the teacher, please forgive me. ”
When Chi Nuguan heard this, her expression did not fluctuate much, and she nodded slightly.
Lishu thought that this Chi Nuguan was like the ancient well at the entrance of her yard, without any waves. The mother originally wanted to climb the relationship and move around, but seeing that Chi Nuguan was like this, it was not good to stay for a long time.
After this toss, the sky has already darkened, and Xiao Fu is also a little tired.
But she still instructed Lishu: "You can only walk around the yard, and you can't go out at will, otherwise, be careful that the person who shoots the flower will shoot you away." ”
Lishu pouted: "Then you still want to live in this nunnery, why don't you agree to your father to live in a nearby mansion?" Aren't you afraid? "She is hungry for braised pork, although the food here is delicious, but there is no oil and water, and she will be hungry after a while, and there is no snack to eat.
"Silly girl, I'm not here for you, it's a pity that Chi Nuguan is too difficult to approach." Xiao Fu's goal is shattered, but he is not discouraged, if her husband cracks the case, he may reach the heavens, after all, Chi Nuguan is the queen's cousin, and the family has been a high-ranking official.
Lishu didn't expect that she actually lived for herself, so she quickly climbed into bed and didn't let her mother worry about it.
"Good mother, I'll sleep obediently."
Xiao Fu put down the mosquito net and couldn't wait to share it with her daughter, she whispered: "Silly girl, your father is guarding us on the hillside where we live, if I blow the whistle, he will come, so we don't have to be afraid." ”
I don't know why, my daughter is a lot more sensible, and sometimes Xiao Fu will say some of her secret little joys.
Sure enough, Lishu was also surprised: "Daddy is going to keep us all night?" ”
Seeing her mother nodding, Lishu sighed: "Daddy is really good to you." ”
"Yes~" Xiao Fu remembered that when she got married, her husband rejected her very much, but he couldn't help but like her. At that time, they were really very affectionate.
Probably with her father as a protector, Lishu fell asleep quickly in a strange place, and when she even woke up, there were already several people sitting in front of Xiao Fu, telling about the physiognomy of the missing bhikshunis.
Lishu took advantage of the gap to bring water to her mother herself, what she can do now is limited, the case is determined by her father, and her mother is the one who paints. If it weren't for her mother, Lishu wouldn't know what was going on outside!
As everyone knows, Xiao Fu is grateful to her daughter, if it weren't for her daughter, her talent would not have been valued by her husband, exposing one conspiracy after another.
When Xiao Fu drew these five pictures, even the host here was stunned: "Mrs. Liu, you don't know them, but you can draw them so vividly, as if they were real people." ”
After Lian Chi Nuguan learned about this, she actually came over in person, and Xiao Fu was very surprised, "I don't know if you are coming, it is really a disappointment." ”
Chi Nuguan waved her hand: "Mrs. Liu, I took the liberty." I see that you have never seen a real person, and you have drawn so lifelike, I want you to help me paint a picture too. ”
"This ......" Xiao Fu didn't expect that he really had the intention to plant flowers and not bloom, and he unintentionally planted willows and willows.
Chi Nuguan thought that she was taking Qiao, and actually pleaded: "Mrs. Liu, if you help me paint this picture, I can promise you one thing." ”
Xiao Fu glanced at her daughter, where was there anything going on with herself, her biggest thing was her daughter.
"It's my pleasure to paint for you, let alone the conditions. It's just that this little girl in my family, although she is smart, but the rules are scattered, and I am pregnant, if I can, it would be good if I could recommend a grandmother to discipline her, after all, she will have to go back to see her grandmother next year, I am afraid that she has no rules. ”
Chi Nuguan herself has lived in the palace for several years, her cousin is the queen, and the relationship between the family and the royal family is very close, so it is really a trivial matter to send a grandmother here.
She even said, "As long as you draw it, these are small things." ”
Xiao Fu was overjoyed, she even pinched her daughter's little face, and was very happy in her heart, these things are trivial things for others, but they are great joys for their mother and daughter.
The person Chi Nuguan wants to paint is her deceased fiancé, even if that person has been dead for more than ten years, she still remembers it very clearly, only at this time, her expression will be turbulent: "The first time I saw him, at that time we were not married, I just came back from my aunt's house, he rode a red horse, holding a silver gun, majestic, and magnificent." However, when he saw the charcoal seller who had fallen next to him, he would jump down and help him up......"
Lishu propped her head and listened to Chi Nuguan's story, probably why did she know why she refused to marry again, probably because she couldn't meet someone who was too amazing when she was young, otherwise she wouldn't be able to spend the rest of her life peacefully.
Ke Lishu seemed to have a hard time understanding this feeling, she had also met a very good man in her previous life, and that person was once her fiancé, but after this marriage was annulled, she stopped thinking about it.
Her life is always looking forward, not cold and ruthless, but she feels that it is not worth it.
Xiao Fu's painting made Chi Nuguan very satisfied, and she even hugged the painting and cried bitterly, but since then she has also had sustenance for this painting.
At this time, Xiao Fu had already taken Lishu to prepare for the return trip.
"Chi Nuguan has promised her mother that when the New Year is over, she will send a grandmother to you, and learn the rules and skills in the future." Xiao Fu looked at his daughter lovingly.
Lishu thought that she and her mother were mutually fulfilling, and they both thought about each other.
