Chapter 168 Your Majesty, Please See Me

Four or five miles outside the West City Gate, there is a famous nunnery in the capital called "Muni Yuan".

The presiding Master Jingci is profound in Buddhist teachings and good at making friends with famous people from Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. He is highly respected by high-ranking mansions in Beijing. Therefore, Muni Monastery is always popular with high-profile people from Beijing coming to pray for blessings and fulfill their wishes.

At this time, deep in the Muni Courtyard, in a secluded nunnery, Miaoyu was dressed in Chinese clothes, sitting alone under the window, thinking about the moon.

More than a year has passed, and Pingting, who is still in her prime, has become more and more beautiful, like a banished immortal who has fallen into the mortal world.

However, the beautiful fairy's state of mind at this moment is completely different from her cold and beautiful appearance.

Over the past year or so, she could not help but think of the prodigal son who scorned her in Panxiang Temple, and of his handsome and majestic figure, who seemed affectionate and rogue at the same time. But it’s a face that makes people secretly throb.

Especially when her family fell into decline, she followed her master from Suzhou and came to Beijing all the way. This feeling became more and more intense, which made her have a bad temper. She could only use the Buddhist "Calming Mantra" to calm her down. suppress.

After entering the capital, she also knew that the man did not lie to her. He was indeed a descendant of the Jia family, a prominent family in the capital, and his status was very extraordinary.

But then she heard that the heart-stealing thief and betrayer had been sent by the emperor to lead troops to fight at the border...

How dangerous it was to face the enemy at the border!

At that time, she was very worried about this and almost didn’t think about it. Then she was very frightened to find that her level of worry about the other party was not even comparable to that of her master who couldn't stand the pain of traveling and fell ill as soon as he entered Beijing!

This made her very ashamed and hesitant.

Fortunately, not long after, she heard that Jia Lian had successfully returned to Beijing. Not only that, he had also achieved military exploits on the battlefield and was promised a high reward by the emperor, which made her secretly happy.

Just when she was very hesitant about contacting the other party, or finding ways to let the other party know her existence, to see how the other party would react, she heard that her father had passed away, and he was busy taking care of the funeral arrangements. , no free time every day.

Now, his father’s funeral should be almost taken care of...

Miaoyu thought secretly in her heart.

She raised her head and glanced at the faintly green branches under the moonlight, and Miaoyu lowered her head deeply.

She knew she was stupid. The other party was born in the Duke's palace, had a noble status, and had a bright future. How could he waste his energy on a humble female Buddhist disciple of hers?

I think that for a person like him, there will be many confidantes around him. The words he said to himself and the things he did that day were just for the sake of novelty and novelty. He treated himself as a rosy man for fun, just like other promiscuous children in the world.

If not, why has there been no news from him and never come to see him?

It can be seen that I have forgotten myself a long time ago. I am pity that I am young and ignorant, and easily deceived by evil people, which leads to this unreasonable and false lovesickness.

Miaoyu couldn't help but feel resentful in her heart, and scolded a certain unfaithful thief until her head was wet.

Suddenly heard the noise of running outside the courtyard, Miaoyu's well-proportioned and beautiful brows frowned slightly, and she happened to see the little maid coming from the other side, so she approached her and asked.

"Miss, there is a family that needs female Buddhist disciples to perform funeral services, so I went to their monastery to hire disciples.

It only takes two days in total. At that time, the presiding master Tai said that all the young disciples in the courtyard should come to the front yard for the nobles to choose. Once selected, the courtyard will reward each person with 800 yuan individually..."

When Miaoyu heard this, she felt very disgusted.

Ever since she came to Muni Yuan, a famous temple in the capital as mentioned by her master, she felt that the people here were very philistine and stupid. It's not just one or two, but it's the same from top to bottom, even the hostess is no exception.

The entire Muni Monastery is filled with a worldly atmosphere, and it is not at all as clean and aloof as a Buddhist women's temple should be.

The construction of the nunnery is also crude and has no merit except that it is large.

Compared to her Panxiang Temple, it is like a thatched dog house.

Now the dignified host actually lets his disciples rush to the top to be chosen in order to earn a few taels of silver. Is this the way a Buddhist Gaoni should behave?

Laughing and scorning in her heart, Miaoyu had no intention of asking any more.

Unexpectedly, the maid did not leave wisely. Instead, she stood on the corridor outside, came closer and said to her: "Miss, do you know which mansion in Beijing is here to recruit people? "

"I don't care which family it is, stop talking outside and talk about nothing. If you have nothing to do, go and reheat the tea stove."

Miaoyu He didn't even bother to play riddles with the maid. After that, he got up and took a look at his master, then came back to make a cup of tea and end this boring day.

The little maid giggled and said: "I told you, the person who came is the person from Rongguo Mansion in the capital..."

Miaoyu suddenly paused and turned around Look at the maid.

Looking at the flattering look on her face, he knew that she had asked outsiders to inquire about the Rongguo Mansion in Beijing, and she also knew about it.

Perhaps, there are some unbearable thoughts running through her heart at this moment...

One is to be reserved, and the other is not to let the maid think wildly, so she pretends not to care. He reprimanded nonchalantly: "What about the Rongguo Mansion in the middle of the capital? What does it have to do with me? If you also want to make these hundreds of money, how about I have your hair twisted and you go with them?" < br />
When the little maid heard this, she was startled and quickly waved her hand to refuse.

Just kidding, she doesn’t want to be a nun. Moreover, the lady treats them very generously, so how could she value a mere few hundred dollars?

Originally, I thought that the young lady used to ask people to inquire about the news about Rongguo Mansion. I thought she would be interested in this, so I deliberately told the young lady about it. Who knew that the young lady was still annoyed.

"Miss, please spare me. It's not that I'm curious, but the noble person they really came here tonight. I heard that it was the eldest son of Rongguo Mansion who came in person, and even the hostess They all take it very seriously, and I went to receive it in person..."

"What? Who are you talking about?"

The maid was going to boil water after just saying a joke, but who Knowing that the young lady suddenly changed her color, I was shocked.

"That's right, the eldest young master of Rongguo Mansion... Oh, I didn't hear clearly whether it was the eldest young master or the second young master. In short, he is a very noble person. Everyone in their courtyard is spreading the news. …

Why, the young lady really knows the people from their Rongguo Mansion?”

Miaoyu sat down silently and ignored the maid, who stood like this for a while. , was suspicious for a while, and then walked away wisely.

Miaoyu then showed a complicated expression.

She was almost 80 to 90% sure that the person who came must be the villain who molested her that day!

Why is he here? Is it a coincidence? Did he really just come here to select a few female nuns to chant sutras and vigil for his father, but he didn't actually know where she was?

That’s the case. I am a man of few words and have taken refuge here quietly. How could someone with his status know about my existence?

Should I go to see him...

But if it is as he thought, he did not take himself to heart. If he went out like this, wouldn't he be being sentimental and self-indulgent? Take it as a humiliation?

But what if, he really came to look for me...

Just when his heart was pounding and swaying from side to side, he suddenly saw his serving wife rushing in. When he came, he said to her: "Girl, the hostess sent someone to ask the girl to go out for a while."trip. "

Miaoyu suppressed her heart palpitations and asked: "What did she ask me to do? "

"A young nobleman came. His father had just passed away. Hearing that the girl's master was proficient in innate divine arithmetic, he wanted to invite immortals and helpers for his father.

It’s just that the master is ill now. When the young master heard that the girl was the direct disciple of Master Tai, he said that it was the same with the girl.

The host has already agreed. "

The mother-in-law said, fearing that Miaoyu would lose her temper and not want to help, so she hurriedly said: "Young lady has always received the true inheritance of the master, and now we are staying here. Although there is a personal friendship between the master's wife and them, the people below can't help but dislike us.

If the girl can do this for them today and show them what she is capable of, they will probably have nothing to say in the future and they will naturally respect the girl more. ”

Miaoyu’s master had a close relationship with Master Jingci, so he thought of coming to Beijing to seek refuge.

It’s just that Master Jingci’s disciple Tai There are so many snobbish people who will inevitably interfere with them. Of course, those people are actually more dissatisfied with their style...

After all, a lay disciple who leads the practice is in the nunnery. This is already disgusting enough, not to mention that Miaoyu is accompanied by several serving maids and nuns! This is heresy in any temple or nunnery.

Mother-in-law’s The worry was unnecessary. Although Miaoyu's heart turned over and over again, she could not say the words of rejection. She took a long breath and said quietly: "I understand. ”
