Chapter 1150 The Romantic Girl Paired with Farming in the Republic of China (1)
"Yunyun, have you thought about it? This road is not easy to take! Think about the host aunt, she was also the concubine of a wealthy family. If this road is as good as you said, why would the host aunt give up her job in the city? To live, come to the nunnery to be the host?"
"Pan'er, are you stupid? Why did the host aunt become the host? Isn't it because she took away the gold and silver jewelry in the house and coaxed the host at the time to consult her opinion on everything and arrange the best for her? She was provided with room and board, and finally passed on the position of host to her. If she was like us at that time, a penniless little maid, doing the dirtiest and most tiring work all day long, she would never be able to turn over in her lifetime!"
…‖
"Pan'er, don't you envy those aunties who don't have to work, but only recite poems and paint with the host aunt, occasionally drinking and chatting with pilgrims? Don't you envy me? I've had enough of the suffering now. day!"
"Yunyun, you only see the superficial beauty of the aunts. In fact, they have their own difficulties, just like the women in the palace before. Have you forgotten my aunt's advice?"
"I know! Their reason is that such happy scenery does not last long! If the pilgrims stop coming one day, they will not have such happy days. Of course I remember my aunt's advice! Isn't it just that men are unreliable. But as long as they can get rid of the current situation I'm willing to live a good life with Boss Wang. I don't have to get up early to pour night fragrance or clean the firewood shed in the dark. I just need to serve a man and live a life of gold and silver, good food and good food. I'm willing to be a concubine!"
…‖
"Oh Pan'er, please stop trying to persuade me! I've made up my mind! Yinyin also agrees with my idea. She even had this plan earlier than me, but she doesn't like the rich kids who come to the nunnery to have fun. She wants to find someone Scholar, I asked Boss Wang to introduce her to a young talent who has returned from studying abroad. Boss Wang agreed, and we will set off soon."
"What did you say? Yinyin is leaving too? Why is she so stupid! Has she forgotten her aunt's good intentions back then? That face of hers..."
"Pan'er, don't you understand the situation? The Qing Dynasty is dead! Even if Yinyin shows her face, no one will make a fuss about her. On the contrary, her appearance is the best passport in the current situation. ! She’s not worried, so why are you worried!”
…”
Xu Yin fell into a trance and fell into a long sleep.
I don't know if she slept for too long, but when she was woken up by the chatter of arguments, she only felt a swelling and pain in her brain.
I massaged it for a while before feeling a little relieved.
No wonder I need to go to the world of cultivation from time to time to recuperate. If I wear too many tasks in the world, my brain nerves will spasm.
What she wore this time was a novel about the Republic of China, and she knew the plot before she received it, because she drew it herself.
Compared to natural disasters, the background of the Republic of China seems to be good.
At least if you are mentally prepared, you can still avoid man-made disasters, but there is really no way to avoid natural disasters.
However, after receiving the plot, she wanted to give herself a big mouth for complaining about this novel.
What kind of character is this wearing?
A nun from Fengyue Temple who is arrogant and has high ambitions but low hands? I want to marry a young man who has returned from studying abroad. Is it okay to be a concubine?
What's even worse is that not only the original person has this idea, but also 70% to 80% of the nuns in this nunnery want to be a canary favored by the sponsor.
The nunnery named "Yakoshi'an" is actually a place of romance.
The current host Yu Yuanyuan was a famous prostitute in Beijing in the past. The situation in the late Qing Dynasty was turbulent. To save her life, she fled the capital with Song Yiman, a wealthy businessman in Haicheng, and became his concubine.
But the good times did not last long. The Song family suffered a tragedy and went bankrupt. Unwilling to live a hard life, Yu Yuanyuan took away the remaining money in the house and ran to the Yaoshi Temple outside the city to become a nun.
After Yu Yuanyuan came to power, she attempted to transform Yaoshi'an into an "office" space that she was familiar with.
Through alms or rituals, we identify girls with excellent looks and persuade their parents, "This girl has wisdom and will prosper the family if she joins my Buddhist sect." Then, after deceiving them, they will be trained from an early age to become nuns with both talent and beauty. He quietly turned them into his own money-spinners. After Master Minghui passed away, she began to receive wealthy pilgrims in a grand manner, and Yaoshi'an was transformed into a place of prostitution. The rich kids in the city were tired of the cliches of brothels. They heard that there was a nunnery outside the city that was romantic and fresh and refined. The nuns in the nunnery were all charming and talented, and they came here with a curious mind.
After arriving, I saw the extremely luxurious and elegantly decorated nunnery, the fragrant houses, and listened to the music played by the graceful and well-spoken nuns. I then thought that this was an elegant place with many precepts. I felt more and more excited, and my heart was filled with excitement and ecstasy for a while.
Yakshi'an, which originally had strict rules and regulations, became a "sex hunting ground" for high-ranking officials and nobles to indulge in drunkenness and wealth, and started a skin and meat business of "selling sheep's heads and selling dog meat".
The nunnery made a lot of money.
Most of this money went into Yu Yuanyuan's pocket, and a small part was used as the salary of the nuns who received "pilgrims".
These female nuns who practice Buddhism with hair are respectfully called "Sister Aunts", and they have a status in the nunnery second only to the presiding Sister Aunt.
They stretched out their hands with clothes and opened their mouths with food. Although they were nuns, they drank wine and ate meat. When they were happy, they gave a couple of mouthfuls to the bald nuns working underneath them. When they were unhappy, they took it out on them. It was common for them to pinch and scold them, forcing the bald nuns at the bottom to do so. It is common for Ni to work with a candle on his head. The candle oil drips onto his bald head, and the pain is as painful as death.
And people actually died because of it.
But the death did not attract the attention of the sisters and sisters. They casually wrapped the person in a straw mat and threw him into the back mountain, and continued their happy life.
These bald female nuns who work are called "pants nuns", which are nuns who need to tie up their trousers to make it easier to work.
They are ordinary-looking, illiterate, and have poor musical pronunciation. They are useless in the eyes of the superior sisters and sisters, so they are only qualified to work and serve them.
They are at the bottom of the nunnery. Not only do they suffer mental and physical torture, but they also have to do the hardest and most tiring work, such as carrying water and firewood, washing and cooking, carrying feces and peeing... they have to do everything, and they have to get up earlier than chickens. He slept later than a dog, but his treatment was the worst. He ate gruel, grains, and wild vegetables, and lived in a utility room next to the hut.
In addition, they have to take turns going down the mountain to beg for alms, and the proceeds from the alms do not belong to them. Instead, they are selected by the sisters and sisters first, and then it is their turn to distribute the rest.
There are also some nuns who have become monks on the way. They often have money on them, so their treatment is better, but they need to pay fees on time. The more money they have, the better their treatment will be. They don’t have to work, beg alms, or go out to do things. But if you run out of money, you can only accept your fate and become a "pants nun".
The original person and his companions Xu Yun and Xu Pan'er became monks halfway.
They were once maids in the imperial palace. After the palace gate of the Qing Dynasty was breached by the rebels, they followed Aunt Mao in disguise and escaped from the palace gate and went to their aunt's natal family in the south.
Unfortunately, he had little social experience. Not long after he left the capital, his bag containing gold and silver ingots was stolen. He sold his only earrings, hairpins and other small items, hired a carriage and fled to Haicheng in panic.
Aunt Mao was already very old and had a hard time traveling all the way. She caught the cold and it was not getting better. In the end, she could not survive it. Before she died, she revealed her original life experience.
It turns out that she was the youngest daughter of Emperor Dezong. She was born the year Emperor Dezong abdicated.
Her biological mother was Aunt Mao's servant. After giving birth, the bleeding continued and it was difficult to give birth, so she entrusted her daughter to Aunt Mao.
At that time, the previous regime was changing, the harem was in turmoil, and it was in chaos. Aunt Mao followed her master's last words, sealed the midwife's mouth, and announced to the public that the master had dystocia and the young master was stillborn.
In fact, the original person was always taken by her and grew up with the other little palace maids.
Aunt Mao died when she revealed Xu Yin's life experience, and she didn't even have time to tell the three children where to go next.
Three little girls, the youngest is only fifteen years old and the eldest Xu Yun is only eighteen years old. They have been living in the palace before and have not been deeply involved in the world. They are penniless and have nowhere to stay. They are at a loss. Arrive at Yakushian.
But I didn’t expect that Yakushi-an is not an ordinary nunnery, but a gold-selling cave with the label of “elegance”...
