Traveling through books to ancient times, I provoke the love of villains and powerful ministers

Qi Qingxi followed Master Huiming, walked through the corridor, and stopped in front of a house.

"Master." Master Huiming said softly, "Benefactor Qi has come."

"Please come in." A somewhat old voice came from inside.

Master Huiming pushed the door open and asked Qi Qingxi to come in. Qi Qingxi nodded to her and stepped into the room.

As soon as he entered the room, Qi Qingxi smelled a faint sandalwood fragrance.

The interior layout is very simple, with only one bed, one table and two chairs, a plain blue curtain hanging on the right side, and an incense stand inside the curtain for the table.

But there was no Buddha statue on the altar, just a lonely tablet with the word "Xiu" written on it.

In front of the altar, a figure wearing a bhikkhuni Haiqing Buddhist robe was sitting on a futon, beating a wooden fish, and reciting Buddhist scriptures in a low voice. Presumably, this was the presiding officer of Jingci Temple.

Seeing that the host was chanting sutras, Qi Qingxi also stood quietly and waited.

Perhaps it was because he was in a place of Buddhism, or maybe it was because he was listening to the sound of chanting sutras, Qi Qingxi only felt a sense of peace in his heart at this moment.

After a long time, the presiding officer finished reciting the scriptures, put down the wooden fish beads in his hand, and stood up slowly while leaning on the altar.She turned around, her pale face was wrinkled, and she stood there looking at Qi Qingxi quietly.

After a long while, the host nodded to Qi Qingxi and said, "Huiming, send Master Qi back."

Just... that's the end of the matter?

Qi Qingxi followed Master Huiming out of the house blankly.

Then she figured it out, maybe the host didn't really want to see her, but just made such an excuse to save her, and because of the Buddhist precept that monks don't tell lies, they had to meet her.

Soon she walked to the place where she was caught by Miss Li and wanted to lynch her. At the moment, Miss Li was standing under a locust tree staring at her hatefully, but she just watched and didn't dare to do so. He ordered people to come forward and arrest her so arrogantly before.

Until he was about to walk out of the nunnery, Qi Qingxi heard a series of footsteps behind him.

Standing not far behind Qi Qingxi, Li Qiuyue shouted loudly: "Do you really think that a foxy girl like you can marry Mr. Gu? With your status, I'm afraid that if you become a concubine for Mr. Gu, his family will dislike you from your humble background." , I am waiting to see what happens to you."

Qi Qingxi raised her eyebrows when she heard the words. Although she didn't know about Gu Yu's family background, it sounded like it should be considered prominent.

Otherwise, because he is only a small county magistrate, if he offends a local tycoon whose family is an official in the court, not only can he get away unscathed, but also let them obediently send their precious daughter to the nunnery to think about it?

From this point of view, Gu Yu won't hurt herself by giving her a head start, so she can rest assured.

As for what Ms. Li said was that Gu Yu's family would despise Gu Yu because her status was low and not worthy, no one knew what would happen in the future.

Just like in the past, if someone ran to her and told her: You will be transmigrated into a certain book and become the so-and-so in it.

She probably thinks this person is a psychopath.

However, she is indeed transmigrated into a book now.

Therefore, the world is unpredictable. If you are a monk for a day and hit the clock for a day, worry about tomorrow and worry about tomorrow.

But Qi Qingxi didn't intend to talk so much with Miss Li, so she stepped out of the nunnery.

As soon as she came out, she saw Aunt Osmanthus standing at the door, pacing back and forth anxiously.

Qi Qingxi called her: "Aunt Osmanthus, why haven't you left yet?"

Seeing Qi Qingxi coming out, Aunt Osmanthus breathed a sigh of relief: "You said you have a way to come out, so I just wanted to say that I'll wait for you here, but it really can't, I can't... I'll go to the temple next door and call for someone to save you."

Qi Qingxi comforted her with words: "Look, I'm not all right."

"Thanks to the host of the nunnery and Master Huiming for saving me." Qi Qingxi looked at Master Huiming again and said, "Please send me out, thank you and the host for saving me today."

Master Huiming bowed slightly to Qi Qingxi, and said: "Benefactor Qi is very polite, I will send you to the gate of Jingtai Temple and return."

Qi Qingxi felt that there was no need to bother her so much, and she had already left the nunnery. She didn't believe that Miss Li dared to send someone to secretly arrest her.

But when he thought of the girl's sick and delicate appearance that wanted to cut her face with a dagger, Qi Qingxi felt that this girl might really do anything if she went crazy.

So she brazenly troubled Master Huiming and sent her to the stone steps in front of Jingtai Temple.

Qi Qingxi asked Master Huiming to wait for her for a while, and then she ran into the temple quickly.

Not long after, Qi Qingxi came out of the temple with a food box in his hand.

Qi Qingxi handed the food box to Master Huiming: "This is the dim sum I made myself, please try it with the host master."

Huiming took the food box and thanked him, then turned and left.

Back in the nunnery, she went straight to the meditation room of the presiding master, knocked lightly on the door, and then opened the door to enter.

She put the food box on the table, and said to the master who was sitting on the futon and chanting: "The person has been delivered to the gate of the temple. Donor Qi gave a box of snacks, saying that she made it herself, and specifically confessed that she did not put it in." Put half a drop of lard in."

Nowadays, dim sum often add lard to it to make it crispy and more fragrant. However, it is taboo in Buddhism not to touch meat. Huiming thinks it is very rare for Qi Qingxi to notice this.

However, the master host above the futon ignored her.

Huiming seems to be used to this way of getting along, and still talks to himself.

"Do you really think that Master Qi is the one who broke the situation?"

The host suddenly said back to her: "Yes."

If Master Huiming stepped forward at this moment, you could see tears dripping down her master's withered eye sockets, criss-crossing on her wrinkled face.

Qi Qingxi and Aunt Osmanthus returned to the temple.

Aunt Osmanthus still had lingering fears, and kept blaming herself for dragging Qi Qingxi to Jingci Nunnery nearby.

Qi Qingxi knew that she had good intentions, besides, who would have expected to bump into that Miss Li again, maybe as Miss Li said, the road to enemies is narrow.

After finally going out, Qi Qingxi didn't want to spoil Aunt Osmanthus' mood.

She changed the subject, looked at a few children playing and playing not far away, and said, "Aunt Osmanthus, have you ever thought about sending your Zhang Shu to school?"

Only then did Aunt Osmanthus calm down, and she looked at Zhang Shu gently and said: "Although this child is sometimes mischievous, he knows that it is not easy for me and he understands me. He sees your family Yunhui going to school, although he is envious but never Ask me to send him to school too."

Her eyes were full of hope: "I can save some money in a month now, and when I save more money in a few days, I will find a school for him to learn to read."

The two of them had a casual chat.

It was almost noon, and everyone stayed in the temple for a vegetarian meal, which was simple brown rice with vegetables and tofu, but everyone ate with gusto.

After eating vegetarian food, the group went to the back mountain for a stroll, and then returned home.
