After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.
Chapter 54 I’m going to be sent to be a nun
The next day, the four masters and servants moved to the long-abandoned yard in the southwest corner.
This courtyard originally had an owner. The owner was a concubine of the old Marquis. She was sent to live here for some reason. Three years ago, when the old Marquis died, the concubine became a monk, and the courtyard became idle. .
After Liu Yunxiang married into the Hou Mansion, she had not seen this concubine. She had been in this courtyard all the time. The courtyard door was locked and no one was allowed to disturb her.
There is a secret door in the west of the courtyard. After passing the secret door, you will find the alley behind the Hou Mansion.
Therefore, this courtyard is more like an independent courtyard from the Hou Mansion. With this secret door, the concubine can avoid going to the front yard at all.
It's quite clean.
The weeds in the yard were very tall, and when we walked into the house, the furniture was shabby, but there was a sense of tranquility.
There is a green gauze tent, a step-by-step bed, and three sticks of incense in front of the Bodhisattva statue.
Jinyan took Zijin and Xiaowu to clean up, while Liu Yunxiang was placed outside to bask in the sun. By the time the sun goes down, it's almost done.
Just as he was about to take a breath, the housekeeper came in with two nurses.
"Steward Li, why are you so aggressive?"
When the housekeeper saw Liu Yunxiang, he coughed dryly and then said: "The kitchen was broken into last night."
"Oh?"
"Stealing a bag of rice."
Liu Yunxiang narrowed his eyes: "You came to my courtyard to catch a thief, and just for a bag of rice?"
"The Second Madam said that since the family is divided, the Third Madam should not take another grain of rice from the Hou's Mansion. Even if you are so poor that you become a beggar, don't beg for food in front of the Hou's Mansion."
"She is using this bag of rice to beat me, but I also give this to her. If she ever falls down, she will never come to ask for a bowl of rice from me. You can bring this to the old lady and the two ladies. I No matter what happens in the future, Liu Yunxiang will definitely not be able to be in front of them!"
They are the only ones begging for her share!
The housekeeper waved his hand and asked the two nurses to go in and search.
Zi Jin blocked the door with his sword, and Jin Yan and Xiao Wu also opened their arms to block it.
"Let them search!" Liu Yunxiang said.
"Madam, they are so bullying!" Jin Yan cried in anger.
"Don't cry, just bear with this tone."
When Liu Yunxiang finished speaking, Zijin and the others had no choice but to get out of the way. Butler Li took two nurses in and searched the house. They rummaged through the house they had just tidied up, but not a single grain of rice was found.
"Third Madam, I'm sorry." Butler Li said and smiled again, "But to prevent thieves, we have to build a high wall at the entrance of your courtyard. Do you have any objection?"
Liu Yunxiang shook his head and laughed, "If you are not afraid of trouble, then just do whatever you want."
Once the wall is built, she will be pure.
That night, Butler Li and his family members began to build a wall.
Seeing that the wall was pulled out of the ground, higher than the courtyard wall, and still rising.
When I looked at the wall again the next morning, it was so high that I couldn't see the turrets, the trees in the distance, or even a trace of the scenery of the Hou Mansion.
"I'm going to push down the wall!" Jin Yan said.
Liu Yunxiang looked at the high wall, but he was in a very good mood, "Jinyan, let's grill the lamb chops for lunch. I've been wanting to eat it for a long time."
"what?"
"Whatever we eat, they can only smell it, so this wall is great."
Jinyan couldn't help laughing when he thought about that scene.
"Okay, let's have grilled lamb chops for lunch. I have been working in the kitchen for several years, and my skills are pretty good. They must be delicious and will make them hungry."
Liu Yunxiang gave a bag of silver to Jin Yan, "You also need to buy more meat and vegetables. If the meat cannot be preserved, make it dry and pickle it into bacon. Buy some vegetables that can be stored for a long time. I estimate that it will take a month. Only then can Beijing survive this famine."
Jin Yan nodded, "I know this, please don't worry."
Before the famine came, Liu Yunxiang felt at ease looking at the high wall in front of the yard, feeling at ease looking at the rice jars full of rice, feeling at ease looking at the dried meat and a jar of cured meat, and feeling at ease looking at the piles of firewood forming a hill. An Xin, looking at the three girls beside him, felt at ease.
But within two days of An Xin, a decree came down, asking her and several officials to accompany the Queen Mother to Ziyun Temple to eat fast and pray for blessings. She was stunned.
This was not the case in my previous life!
But Yizhi was sent to the Hou Mansion and asked her to go by name, so she had to accept the order.
The second lady, Mrs. Xue, was a little jealous when she saw this decree, "Several other official family members are either princesses or have been granted imperial titles. This shows how much honor it is to accompany the Queen Mother to pray. If we choose a lady from our Jing'an Marquis Mansion, , it shouldn’t be her anyway.”
In fact, Liu Yunxiang also found it quite strange why he chose her.
The old lady understood everything, raised her eyes and glanced at Liu Yunxiang, and said: "It has been raining for several days, and it has not cleared up. I heard that the roads leading to Beijing have been washed away, which may lead to a natural disaster. The Queen Mother believes in Buddhism, Whenever there is a vision in the sky, she will go to Ziyun Temple to pray. But the Buddha is always there, but she cannot always serve in front of the Buddha. To show her sincerity, the Queen Mother will bring an official family member with her every time she prays. This official family member Generally, she is a widow with no children. After the Queen Mother returns to Beijing, she will continue to stay in the nunnery and serve the Buddha throughout her life."
Mrs. Xue was shocked, "Isn't it like Aunt Yan..."
Liu Yunxiang was stunned.
This is to send her to become a nun!
This courtyard originally had an owner. The owner was a concubine of the old Marquis. She was sent to live here for some reason. Three years ago, when the old Marquis died, the concubine became a monk, and the courtyard became idle. .
