Delicate Flower Chapter 173: nunnery
Even though Yu Tang had thousands of guesses, this was not the time to dwell on these things. They soon arrived at the courtyard where Gu Xi lived, and Yu Tang discovered that the door to the main room was half open, and there was a The maid carrying a rag and carrying water came in and out, which showed that Mrs. Shen had indeed left.
A few people suddenly fell silent.
He Xiang, who came to greet the guests, looked embarrassed for a moment, and hurriedly explained in a low voice: "Our young lady originally wanted to go down the mountain with Mrs. Shen, but first she suddenly fell ill, and secondly Mr. Shen Mrs. Shen came to pick her up in person. Our young lady was afraid that Mr. Shen would be disgraced and would not come forward, so she had to ask me to see Mrs. Shen off." After saying that, she let out a long sigh with worry on her face. He said again, "I don't know what to do in the future? Should we frequent Mrs. Shen as before? Or should we become more distant from now on? It's not that our young lady feels disgusted, but she is afraid that Mrs. Shen will see that our young lady doesn't care. Feel free."
Isn’t this disgusting?
If you really don’t dislike it, why are you saying this? Even if she is lying on the bed unable to move, she can still let the maid and mother-in-law carry her to see Mrs. Shen off - Mrs. Shen is not comfortable, isn't there Mr. Shen? Don’t abandon your companions. Mrs. Shen accompanied Gu Xi to Lin'an. Even if there was anything wrong with Mrs. Shen, Gu Xi should send Mrs. Shen away.
In his previous life, Yu Tang looked at Gu Xi and always admired her for her rationality and generosity, but now it seemed that was not the case.
Perhaps it was because she looked up to her so much in her previous life and felt guilty towards her so much. By the time she felt she could look Gu Xi in the eye, Yu Tang had already left the Li family and was on the opposite side of Gu Xi.
Yu Tang secretly curled his lips in disgust.
The third lady lowered her eyelids and said nothing. The second young lady and the fourth young lady smiled and talked to He Xiang: "There is nothing we can do about this. No one thought that Mrs. Shen, who is usually cautious in words and deeds, would lose control for a moment, and Sister Gu would also be affected." He asked again. She: "Is Sister Gu okay? Have you taken any medicine?"
Hexiang replied respectfully.
The fifth lady looked left and right, but hesitated to speak.
Yu Tang stepped forward and took her hand, whispering: "What's wrong?"
Miss Wu hesitated for a moment, and when she saw several sisters walking in front of her, she whispered: "Sister Yu, I heard that Sister Gu was frightened... But I think she should still stay with Mrs. Shen. It's best to leave... If it were me, I would definitely be embarrassed to still live in someone else's house like this..." As she said that, she blushed, and realized that she had made a mistake and said in a hurried tone, "I don't want her to stop living with us. Home, I just feel that she came here with Mrs. Shen after all, and Mrs. Shen must be very sad now. She should go and comfort Mrs. Shen..."
Hearing this, Yu Tang wanted to pick up the little girl and give her a kiss. Although this little girl still couldn't explain the big truth, she instinctively knew what she could and couldn't do because she was pure and kind in her heart.
"I know." Yu Tang also whispered to her, "Everyone has a different temperament and a different way of handling things. Let's take care of ourselves first."
The fifth lady nodded with a smile on her face, caught up with the fourth lady in a cheerful mood, and took her arm into Gu Xi's house.
Gu Xi must have been convinced. She was wearing a semi-new emerald green t-shirt with a peony pattern. Her long black hair was casually pulled into a bun. She didn’t wear any jewelry and was only tied around her forehead. Wearing a white bandana, with a haggard face and a bitter smile, he came out of the inner room to greet them: "Are you here? Why didn't you send the maid over to say something first, so I can prepare tea and snacks earlier. Lotus fragrance , go and make a pot of the Xinyang Maojian I brought from home, so that Miss Yu and the younger sisters can also taste whether it tastes good or not?"
He Xiang smiled and left in response.
The second lady stepped forward to help Gu Xi, complaining: "Sister, since she is not feeling well, don't get out of bed to entertain us. Sister Yu, three younger sisters and I came over. It turns out that I was thinking that you would be alone, and I was afraid that you would be lonely and have random thoughts when you were sick, so I wanted to talk to you to relieve your boredom. I didn’t expect that you would be tired and have to spend energy to entertain us. If we had known this, we should have gone directly to Yu. Sister, let me give you a good rest."
After hearing this, Gu Xi smiled and glanced at Yu Tang, and said: "I'm not tired. If you don't come, I will just lie down. As you said, I will still have random thoughts. Now that you are here, my place is very lively. , let me know that none of the sisters dislike me, and I feel much better."
"How could we dislike our sister!" Miss Fourth immediately said astutely, "It's too late for us to feel sorry for our sister? Mrs. Shen is Mrs. Shen, and Sister Gu is Sister Gu. We are not the kind of people who don't know right from wrong. Sister Gu Just rest assured. Taking good rest is the most important thing."
Gu Xi nodded repeatedly, looking very moved.
Yu Tang turned away, not wanting to see Gu Xi acting coyly.
Gu Xi has a strong temper. If she really feels sorry, she will not apologize verbally, but will only think of ways to help you privately. If she feels that she has done the right thing, she can apologize and make amends for free. She will tell you as much as you want.
At this time, Gu Xi obviously didn't feel that she had done anything wrong.
He Xiang came in with refreshments.
Everyone drank tea, ate one or two snacks, and then started chattering.
Gu Xi then knew that the reason why they came at this time was because Yu Tang was also sick.
The second young lady said very straightforwardly: "If it hadn't been for Sister Yu's reminder, I would have almost spent the whole day staying at your place."
"Really?" Gu Xi said, glancing at Yu Tang with a half-smile, and said with a hint of truth, "I didn't expect that after I got sick, Miss Yu also got sick."
Yu Tang wanted her to punch the cotton, but he pretended not to hear it. Not only was he not angry, but he also looked at Gu Xi with a smile and said, "Yeah! I didn't expect that either."
When Gu Xi heard this, she thought Yu Tang was mocking her for pretending to be sick. She couldn't hold back for a moment, and her face suddenly sank.
The fifth young lady and the fourth young lady were both very surprised and looked at Gu Xi blankly, at a loss.
The second young lady frowned and was about to speak, but was overtaken by the silent third young lady: "At that time, huge beads of sweat flowed down from Sister Yu's forehead, which frightened us all. My great-aunt ordered a doctor to be hired for Sister Yu, and even asked the doctor to take the medicine after seeing the doctor's prescription in person. I wonder if Sister Yu is better now?"
She sighed, as if worried.
Both Gu Xi and Yu Tang were secretly surprised. The calm third lady usually didn't talk much, but whenever she spoke, she was always hiding something. They didn't know whether she did it intentionally or not. But whether it was intentional or not, Gu Xi couldn't take it anymore. Fortunately, there was Yu Tang. She smiled and said: "It was just that moment when I felt a little uncomfortable. It will be fine after it passes. Didn't the doctor say it's okay?"
The third lady just smiled and said nothing more.
But the atmosphere in the room also became a little stagnant.
Yu Tang looked towards the second young lady.
She is coming here. If she has nothing to do, Yu Tang is ready to leave.
She didn't want to see Gu Xi pretending to be sick here.
The second lady was probably a little embarrassed too. She said a few words of concern to Gu Xi and then stood up to leave.
Yu Tang wished that no matter how Gu Xi tried to persuade him to stay, Yu Tang did not stay any longer.
Several ladies from the Pei Mansion had lunch at Yu Tang’s place. The second lady may have never had anything to say to Yu Tang, or maybe what happened at Gu Xi’s place made her unhappy, so she quickly She left under the pretext of taking a lunch break, so Miss No. 3, Miss No. 4 and Miss No. 5 stayed at her place to play with silk flowers in the afternoon.
Yu Tang asked the three ladies of the Pei family: "Why did Lao An go to Ku'an Temple? There is nothing in Ku'an Temple, what did Lao An do there?"
The fourth lady exclaimed: "Sister Yu, other people don't know about Ku'an Temple at all. How do you know about Ku'an Temple? You also know that there is nothing interesting in Ku'an Temple? Have you ever been to Ku'an Temple?" ”
Isn’t it possible to go to Ku’an Temple?
Yu Tang did not have this impression.
But she also had an impression several years later.
Does Kuan Temple still not accept incense from others at this time?
Yu Tang is a little unsure. She could only say: "I have only heard of it, but I have never been there. But I thought, if Ku'an Temple is so spiritual, why is it not famous at all in Lin'an City? This shows that this temple is not that great. It is better to go to Zhaoming Temple. .At least we can climb the mountain in Zhaoming Temple!"
The third lady was laughing next to her and explained to Yu Tang in a soft voice: "Of course Ku'an Temple is not famous! It is our family's family temple and does not accept incense from outsiders. My aunt and grandmother went there because It’s almost the Chinese New Year, and my great-aunt and my grandmother are going there to donate incense money to Ku’an Temple.”
Ah!
Yu Tang opened his eyes wide.
No, since it is the Pei family's temple, why is her aunt's cousin in Ku'an Temple? And there are so many homeless people in the temple? Some women have lived in the temple for more than ten years. Wasn't it because Ku'an Temple took her in because her eldest aunt's cousin became a monk there? By the way, Ku'an Temple does not accept outsiders easily. Those who can enter are recommended by people in the temple. She was introduced by her aunt's cousin!
She was in a mess, as if something had happened and she couldn't grasp it. After a while, she sorted out the clues and asked the third lady: "The person I know was a man whose husband died and had no heirs. He was killed by his mother's family." They were forced to marry, so they went to hide in the temple..."
"You mean there are not good people in the temple, right?" Miss San said unhappily~IndoMTL.com~Rumors stop at the wise. This means that we need to read more, use our brains more, and listen to what others say in order to know what is true and what is false. Ku'an Temple has taken in many homeless female lay practitioners, but they are all poor and good people. We are people who have read books, and we cannot neglect others just because their experiences are bad! ”
Yu Tang smiled bitterly.
I never thought that one day I would be preached to by a girl much younger than myself.
She said hurriedly: "I don't mean to look down on them. I just think that since Ku'an Temple is your family's temple, how come it has taken in people like my eldest aunt and cousin? What if they are not willing to convert to Buddhism? What to do? Not everyone can make up their mind to abide by the Three Refuges and Five Precepts."
Her eldest aunt's cousin decided to convert to Buddhism after living in Ku'an Temple for almost ten years.
The third lady tilted her head and looked at Yu Tang and said, "If they don't want to convert to Buddhism, just don't convert! Anyway, Buddhist lay people have a lot of things to do. Our family only wanted to do some good deeds when we took in those women. Just help some women in need!"
