Chapter 119 Drool Chicken (3)
Although the accommodation environment provided by Dali Temple is very good, and each person gets a yard alone, it is probably due to his inner nature, Wen Mingtang still wants to buy a house of his own.
It's just the price of a Chang'an city house...Wen Mingtang couldn't help shaking his head when he thought about it. After all, even a great poet from the last time and space has said with emotion: Living in Chang'an is not easy!
If nothing happened to the Wen family, she wouldn't have to think about these things! The Wen family's house is very big, more than enough to accommodate her. It's just that now that the Wen family is gone, she has to do this by herself.
Throwing the dime of silver he got from Lin Fei into the box, locked the box, and put it under the pillow, Wen Mingtang put his head on his small treasury, turned over, and fell into a deep sleep.
Have a good night's sleep!
…
Wen Mingtang had a good night's dream here. In Jingyunhou's mansion, Mrs. Zheng, who hadn't eaten such "authentic" Sichuan-style dishes for a long time, was full of emotions. Even though she had already eaten Mushi, she still couldn't help it Moved the chopsticks.
Compared with Duke Jingguo's anger, Jing Yunhou and his wife did not have such a big reaction to Wen Xuance's matter. Hearing the words, they only said: "Wen Xuance is also a smart person, and his daughter is naturally not stupid, she is down-to-earth. If she stays in Dali Temple to work, be more careful, and no one will embarrass her."
For the daughter of a notorious criminal official, the views of Jing Yunhou and his wife are already pertinent.
…
…
The reasoning of the "Painted Skin" case has progressed to this point, and it was actually pushed directly to this nunnery temple.
Liu Yuan stood in front of the nunnery, looked back at Shangfeng who had come with him, and got his permission to knock on the door of the nunnery.
There was a sound of a bolt being pulled from behind the door, and as the door was pulled open, a pale-looking nun in steroids appeared in front of the people.
It was the graceful nun Jing An I saw that day.
She looked at the guards and officials of Dali Temple outside the nunnery, as if she had guessed what was going on today, with a calm expression, and after lowering her eyes and saying "Amitabha" in a low voice, she smiled wryly, pointed to the nunnery, and said : "Adults please!"
He invited people in without even asking why.
I think I guessed why they came to the temple today! So, when is it right?
Liu Yuan thought to himself, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Lin Fei who was following him, wanting to see the expression on Shangfeng's face, and then... didn't see anything.
Shangfeng's expressionless face showed no extra emotions.
Liu Yuan shook his head, and walked in first.
The female nun Jing'an led him into the main hall. The hunched female nun Jinghui was kneeling and sitting in front of the futon, silently chanting sutras to the Guanyin statue in front of her.
After everyone entered the hall, Jinghui, who was kneeling and chanting sutras, stopped chanting, bowed her head to the Avalokitesvara statue and said "Amitabha" before turning her head to look at everyone.
She was dressed in steroid clothes, but she didn't call herself "poor nun" but "I".
After saying this, Jinghui took off the monk's hat on top of her head under the gaze of everyone, and her long gray hair fell down without the restraint of the monk's hat.
"Jing'an!" Jing Hui took off the hat on her head and called out again.
Jing An on the side looked sad and mournful. Hearing this, he raised his hand for a moment and took off the monk hat on his head.
Compared to Jing Hui's long, gray hair, Jing An's black hair, at first glance, matched with that bland, aged face, was actually indescribably inconsistent.
As if she had expected this scene long ago, a basin of water was placed beside the futon, Jing An stepped forward to take a handkerchief and began to wash her face, when the makeup on her face was wiped off and she raised her head again, everyone in the hall was startled.
Looking at Jing An who became "younger" after just washing her face, Liu Yuan was taken aback for a moment, and blurted out: "You really have 'painted skin'!"
After washing her face, Jing An's face was still dull, but she was much younger than before, roughly looking like she was only in her twenties.
This age is of course far from being old and stooped.
However, at present, more than one of the two old nuns in this nunnery has changed in age, and even two of them are not considered nuns at all.
What are these two people doing in this nunnery with their appearance and age changed as nuns?
"My name is Ayou, and it was the name Zhuangzi gave me after she bought me." Jinghui said, "Ms. Zhuang treated me very well back then, but she never treated me harshly when she bought me. Not only did she never treat me harshly, Even the crafts were taught to me.”
The meaning of these words...Liu Yuan was shocked when he heard it, and immediately reacted: "You can also make lip balm?"
Jinghui nodded, said "Not bad", then looked up at the statue of Guanyin with a cinnabar mole on the forehead and red lips, and said: "Lin Shaoqing should see it that day!"
The cinnabar moles and red lips of the Avalokitesvara statue are not smeared with cinnabar as Jing Hui and Jing An said, but with specially prepared lip balm.
Although it is difficult for most men to distinguish these colors, Lin Fei is obviously an exception.
"In the dossier back then, in addition to having a younger sister, Lady Rouge did have a maidservant who followed her and a..." Lin Fei said, his eyes fell on Jing'an who bowed his head and wept secretly, "A she and that The daughter of a scholar."
That girl, Zhuang Meiniang, is still locked up in the prison. One of the two people in front of her calls herself Ayou, so it is obvious who the other is.
The Jing An in front of her is the daughter of the Rouge lady and the heartless scholar.
"After the lady's accident, everyone avoided us like a scourge. We were clearly not the ones who were at fault, and even what happened to the lady was the fault of the man and those women! But the world didn't understand, they just stared at us and guarded us, saying As long as you get close to us, you will be poisoned and killed. The feeling of being talked about behind the scenes is really uncomfortable. Later, the second lady couldn't stand it any longer. She had a pretty face and was caught by people, so she chose to marry someone in a hurry. That man refused to let Er Niangzi walk with us more, so we lost contact with Er Niangzi." Jing Hui said quietly, "The world can't tolerate us, so we came to the mountain. Fortunately, the monks can accommodate us. This nunnery The old nun, the original abbot of the temple, was running out of time at that time, so he took us in."
Originally, they didn’t want to become a monk, but just wanted to find a place to live. No wonder the two of them kept growing their hair, and they weren’t really monks.
"The two of us have been here all this time. With our status as monks, we lived a little poorly, but we still managed it." Jinghui said, "Until the second lady suddenly found someone to find us."
"Those two young scholars were entrusted by Er Niangzi to find here." Jing Hui said, looking up at Jing An who was crying secretly, "They saw Miss."
Although Jinghui hadn't finished speaking, Liu Yuan had a vague premonition of what Jinghui was going to say next. Thinking of this, Liu Yuan couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth: This will probably be the third version of the story of this case!
