Chapter 23 Mrs. Chu

Sure enough, the old lady was very angry about her late return.

Fortunately, a young novice testified, and learned that the five girls had been discussing Buddhism with Master Hongya in the meditation room all afternoon, so they swallowed their complaints.

After the little novice left, the old lady asked her: "Fifth girl, do you know Buddhism?"

Gu Fuyun said embarrassingly: "How can I know any Buddhist principles? I just talked to Master Hongya."

"Can you still talk to Master Hongya?"

Gu Fuyun became more and more embarrassed, "Because I did him a small favor."

"What are you busy with?"

Gu Fuyun said embarrassingly: "It's just a small favor, so don't ask grandma, otherwise if it reaches Master Hongya's ears, they will think that I have no gatekeeper and can't keep the secret."

The old lady didn't ask any more questions.

……

There are quite a few pilgrims staying at the Great Buddha Temple, and Yongningbo Mansion is just one of them.

Uncle Yongning's mansion is also the home of the lord, and the old lady brought a granddaughter who has not left the cabinet, so she asked for a separate one into the yard, three main rooms, plus east and west wing rooms, inverted hall, Baosha, kitchen, latrine, everything that one expects to find. , It costs two or five renminbi a night.If you stay for a short time, you can get more discounts.

There are more than a dozen such guest courtyard great Buddha temples.

There happened to be a walkway paved with a bluestone road next to the yard where the old lady stayed.

The aisle has been cleaned to a clean slate, and from time to time there are brightly dressed servants and maids coming in and out.

"What are these people doing?" Gu Qingyun looked at the maids who came in and out.

Madam Yang, the old lady’s personal compensation wife, replied: “…there are three types of guest rooms in the Great Buddha Temple. This kind of guest house like ours is for rich people to live in, and it costs one, two or five dollars a night."

"Most people will choose a guest house like ours, which is economical and affordable."

"But there are also people with more noble status who will choose a better guest house. First, it is quiet, and second, it is safer."

"I've inquired. The best guest house in Dafo Temple costs ten taels of silver a night, not including other flowers."

Gu Qingyun looked at the maids and women who came in and out of Qingshi Road, these people held all kinds of utensils in their hands, clothes and quilts and the like, plus the guards who came in and out, there were at least fifty or sixty people .He couldn't help saying: "I don't know which wife from a wealthy family will come to live here for a long time."

Generally, you don’t bring so many things for a small stay.

It is now the beginning of June, and the summer in the capital is not easy. Many families with conditions will find a quiet and cool place to escape the heat.The Dafo Temple is built on the mountain, and the mountain is cool in summer, so it has become a summer resort for some rich people.

"Whatever, it has nothing to do with us anyway, let's go, while the weather is still cool, let's go for a stroll." Gu Fuyun looked away and said.

The three masters and servants took advantage of the breeze of the clear scenery and strolled along the tree-lined path.It wasn't until the sun rose that they went back home.

When they returned to the guest house, Nanny Yang, who was beside the old lady, had already hurried towards them: "My ancestor, the fifth girl is finally back. Girl, hurry up and go into the house, Mrs. Chu is here."

Gu Fuyun smiled and asked: "Who is Mrs. Chu?"

"It's Mrs. Huguogong, Fifth Miss, your future mother-in-law. I came to the Great Buddha Temple today to offer incense. I heard that the old lady and Fifth Miss are also at the Great Buddha Temple, so I came to visit the old lady. Fifth Miss, don't delay, just follow along." I'll go in." Yang Nanny hurriedly dragged Gu Fuyun into the house.

When Gu Fuyun entered the room, he saw a noble lady wearing a pair of red skirts covered with golden makeup and flowers, sitting on the imperial concubine's couch, talking to the old lady through a small kang table.

The old lady in a dark brown embroidered pattern of wealth and honor waved to Gu Fuyun: "The fifth girl is back, come here quickly, I have met Mrs. Chu."

Although he has not yet married into Duke Huguo's mansion, Gu Fuyun still has the nervousness of an ugly daughter-in-law seeing her parents-in-law. Against the prying eyes, Gu Fuyun stepped forward bravely and blessed Mrs. Chu.

"Fuyun has seen Madam."

Madam Chu put her hands up, looked at her for a moment, Nan Lu smiled slightly: "It really is a neat child." Then she pointed to the girl sitting on the pier next to her: "This is my daughter, ranked fourth, named Yu."

The girl stood up, and on her head was also a phoenix hairpin with hundreds of treasures, and the huge oriental pearl hanging down was dazzling and magnificent.

Gu Fuyun blessed the girl: "Miss Chu Fourth."

"Fifth Miss Gu." Miss Chu Si hastily blessed Fu's body and sat down.

Such an attitude seems rather arrogant and rude.

The more wealthy the daughter of a wealthy family, the less likely she is to find fault with etiquette, and no matter how much she looks down on others, she will not show dissatisfaction and contempt on her face and actions.

But this Chu Si is so naked, showing it brightly.

Gu Fuyun secretly inhaled, and couldn't help looking at Mrs. Chu.
