Twin Brocade

Chapter 95
Finally, the plaque of "Jingyi Temple" appeared in front of everyone.

This is a gentle hillside in the mountains. The black tiles and white walls of the nunnery slowly unfold towards the two wings, forming an embrace.Looking from here, the layers of houses inside are clearly visible, dotted with trees.

The chanting of the morning class was carried out with the wind, and a sense of solemnity and solemnity unique to Buddhism rushed to the face.

Compared with the Dabei Temple, which is full of incense and apricot walls and blue tiles, Jingyi Nunnery is more Zen-like.This nunnery, which has gone through hundreds of years, stands quietly in the deep mountains, finding a peaceful place in the world, listening to the wind and rain, and listening to the mountain language.

Wang Gonggong took a look at the sky and heaved a sigh of relief, at least he did not miss the auspicious time.

Grey-clothed old nun came out from inside. She had a thin face and was quite vigorous when she walked. It was here that she presided over Mrs. Jingchen.She went half a step out, Jishou said: "But the fourth girl of the Fang family has arrived?"

The captain of the guard took a step forward and cupped his fists and said, "By the order of the Empress Dowager, I will escort the four girls of the Fang family here, and I will be greeted by Mrs. Lao."

Master Jingchen made a gesture and said, "Please come in, Miss Four."

Fang Jinshu came forward to pay respects, and said: "The little girl has seen the teacher." After speaking, he and Fang Fei walked into the nunnery with the nun who led the way.

"Adults have worked hard all the way, please rest in the front yard for a while, and leave after the fast meal."

The Jingyi nunnery is full of nuns and royal monks practicing here, and no men are allowed to enter.Even the guards sent by the palace who have been stationed here for many years will set up sentry points outside the walls of the nunnery, patrolling and guarding, and are not allowed to enter for half a step.

The place where they live and live is the front yard that Mrs. Jingchen said.

The prince bowed his hands in thanks, and headed towards the front yard with the captain of the guard.

The fast food in Jingyi Temple is not as famous as Dabei Temple, but it is a real simple meal.But now that they came, the host asked to leave a meal, if such kindness is rejected, both parties will lose face.It's just a meal, it's not unbearable.

Thinking of this, Eunuch Wang couldn't help but sympathize with Fang Jinshu in his heart.The little girl who is only eight years old is just growing up, and she has to eat this way for a year, and she doesn't know if her body can bear it.

Fang Jinshu walked inside with the nun who was leading the way, only to hear the sound of chanting sutras, and saw no one along the way.

The nun who led the way was called Huiyin, she was more than ten years old, a head and a half taller than Fang Jinshu, and she was an orphan taken in by the presiding officer.There are several others like her in the nunnery, all of whom were abandoned at the gate of the nunnery.

She has been living in this Jingyi Nunnery since she can remember, and has never seen the outside world.

Jingchen asked her to lead Fang Jinshu because they were similar in age and easy to communicate with.Fang Jinshu was ordered by the palace to go into the nunnery to pray for the heroic empress dowager. She would not give special treatment, but she would not deliberately embarrass a little girl.

This was the first time for Huiyin to see a little girl from outside, and she glanced at her curiously along the way.Seeing doubts in her eyes, she said: "Fourth Miss, all the seniors and aunts are doing morning classes in the hall, and it will be lively afterward."

Fang Jinshu exchanged names with her, and said with a smile, "It turned out to be Senior Sister Huiyin, thank you Senior Sister for reminding me."

When they reached the row of houses at the back, Huiyin pushed one of them away and went in, saying: "The people in this yard are all from our Yin family, so you two can live in this room."

Fang Jinshu glanced around. There were two beds on the left and one right against the wall in the room, a square table and two stools in the middle.There are two windows on the other side. Under the window is a shelf for hanging clothes, and under it are basins and other things for washing.

The furnishings in the house are simple and plain, but cleanliness is the best.

It goes without saying that someone must have cleaned and tidied up an unused room so clean.Fang Jinshu thanked Huiyin and asked Fangfei to put the bundle in her hand on the square table.

"Fourth girl, take a rest first. After the senior sisters finish their morning class, I'll call a few more to bring your luggage in." Huiyin was full of interest in this little girl who came from outside, and had a lot to think about. ask her.

But when he saw her flushed cheeks and the sweat on her forehead from climbing the mountain, she thoughtfully stopped asking, and gave her time to pack up and rest.

Fang Fei went out with a basin, brought in a basin of well water, and said, "Miss, wipe your face first, and then I'll go and find out where I can get hot water."

The autumn day in the mountains is chilly, even the sunlight that is pouring down cannot dispel it.

Fang Jinshu took Fang Fei's wrung towel, and the cold fingertips made her shiver.Pursing her lips, she controlled her body's reaction and wiped her face.

In the two lifetimes combined, she has never washed her face in cold water at such a temperature, but she will be at ease when it comes, and she must adapt.To the nun and concubine practicing in the nunnery, she is nothing but a little yellow-haired girl.

What's more, there may not be hot water here.

After washing his head and face with cold water, the cold made Fang Jinshu sober up.Fang Fei knelt down to help her remove the moccasin boots, and saw that her hind feet and toes were all red and had two blisters.

Fang Fei put her slender feet into her arms with distress, and put on a pair of soft cloth shoes for her after warming them up.Moccasin boots can protect the feet, but Fang Jinshu's skin is too delicate, cloth shoes are more docile.

After putting away the belongings in the baggage, people's voices gradually came from outside, presumably the morning class had already ended.

"Girl, sit down for a while, and I'll bring the luggage in."

Fang Jinshu sat on the bed, leaned against the wall and nodded.It's not that she's still putting on airs when she's here, it's because she has exhausted her physical strength just now, and the pain from her thighs down is unbearable.

After a while, Fangfei and Huiyin brought in a box, and some little nuns who were about the same age as Huiyin also helped carry the luggage.When they saw Fang Jinshu, their expressions were similar to Huiyin's, full of curiosity.

As a newcomer, Fang Jinshu couldn't just sit on the bed and watch others busy for him.Enduring the discomfort, he got out of bed, and packed up his luggage with Fang Fei.

Opening one of the cages and taking out two boxes of pea yellows prepared in advance, Fang Jinshu said with a smile: "I brought some snacks from home, and I'll give them a fresh taste for the little masters."

This was prepared by Si Lansheng for her to win people's hearts.

Huiyin opened the lid, and the fresh and sweet smell wafted out.Pieces of pea yellow in the shape of plum blossoms look as delicate as tofu, delicate and delicious.

"It's so beautiful, is it really for eating?"

Fang Jinshu nodded with a smile, picked up a piece and handed it to her.

Huiyin held it in his hand for a while and looked at it before carefully taking a bite.

All the little nuns looked at her nervously, and one of the youngest swallowed her saliva.The rest of the nuns didn't bother to scold her, they just waited eagerly for Huiyin's reaction.
