Chapter 563 They Are Gone? A Small Hall Attracting Little Pilgrims!
The girl was really rude, so Yujie and Qu Le got angry. Yujie said impolitely, “You are the strange one, Miss. Obviously you bumped into us and fell. We didn’t even touch you. How could you blackmail us?”
“How dare you say that? Let’s go and ask soone to judge it’s your fault or my fault!” the girl said, trembling in anger. She ca over, dragged Qu Le and Yujie with each of her hands and left aggressively.
A few more people appeared at the corner. Seeing what was going on here, one of them suddenly shouted, “Hurry up, Miss is here. She’s bullied by others.”
“Who dare to bully our Miss! Go there and beat them!” There ca another female voice.
Yujie and Qu Le were in a terrible situation. Yujie handed the painting in her hand to Qu Le, and then winked at her. When the girl dragging them beca overjoyed, Yujie struggled hard to shake off the girl’s hand, took Qu Le’s hand, turned around and ran away.
A resourceful man knew to avoid a disadvantageous situation close at hand. The girl obviously had brought plenty of maids and old maids. If they stayed, they would probably lose the two paintings in their hands even if they managed to give an explanation. Their master had instructed them to take the paintings down the mountain for mounting, so they couldn’t lose the paintings.
Yujie was a strong girl. Although Qu Le was a little inferior to her, she was not an ordinary maid and had done a lot of work in her childhood. With her hand taken by Yujie, Qu Le ran rapidly with Yujie. They had gone away after turning a few corners.
The girl shouted behind them, followed by her servants, but didn’t catch up with them in the end.
Seeing that no one ca after them, Yujie and Qu Le changed their direction and ca out. This ti, both of them were very cautious, for fear that they would encounter the rude and unreasonable Miss again. Fortunately, the two of them had lived in the Yuhui Nunnery for a long ti, so they were familiar with so paths and shortcuts. This ti, they specifically chose those remote paths.
Yujie was worried, so she specially sent Qu Le to the gate of the nunnery. After watching Qu Le go down the mountain, she went back to the nunnery and went to Mingqiu Nun’s place.
Mingqiu Nun had accepted another two disciples, Huixian and Huiding, in the Yuhui Nunnery. Both of them were the mbers of the Hui generation. Huixian, who was older, was the senior, and Huiding, who was younger, was the junior. They helped Mingqiu Nun manage the affairs on the mountain.
Just as Yujie arrived at the courtyard, she saw Huixian and Huiding standing at the door of the courtyard with a worried look. Yujie hurriedly stepped forward and asked, “Reverend nuns, I heard that soone ca to visit Mingqiu Nun. Has he left now?”
“He hasn’t left yet. I don’t know what’s going on and why he hasn’t left yet!” Hearing Yujie’s question, the younger Huiding Nun, who was impetuous, reached out to point to the yard and said.
Yujie cautiously approached the door of the courtyard and looked inside. When she saw what was going on inside, she almost burst into laughter.
The man sitting at the stone table in the yard was indeed the Doctor Qi she knew. However, Doctor Qi, who had always been graceful, looked a little embarrassed now. He was wet all over, as if soone had poured a basin of water on him. He did look in a ss.
However, dressed in such wet clothes, he was still in the mood to enjoy the tea and talk towards the silence room from ti to ti.
The door of the silence room was tightly closed, as if there were no one inside.
“Is, is Mingqiu Nun inside?” Yujie blinked her eyes, retracted her head and asked. She found it amusing, but she couldn’t show her emotion and could only pretend to be curious.
“Yes, Mingqiu Nun has been annoyed to death by him. I don’t know where he cos from. He’s brazen and shaless,” Huiding Nun said angrily.
“Junior Sister, don’t talk nonsense!” Huixian Nun rebuked her in a low voice.
“Senior Sister, look at this man. We’ve told him that master is going to ditate, but he refused to leave. He is really... What will others say about our master if they see the man...” Huiding stamped her feet and angrily. Looking at the little nun, Yujie suddenly thought of her experience on the mountain and felt Huiding dear to her.
Nevertheless, she had never encountered such an annoying thing when she was in the Jingxin Monastery.
“Can you ask the abbess to drive him away?” She thought for a mont and reminded them with a smile.
“No, I have told the abbess, but the abbess said that he’s a distinguished guest and we can’t drive him away!” Huiding said in an increasingly angry tone. She rembered that when she went to tell the abbess about it, the abbess didn’t et her and just instructed a senior sister to reply. The abbess ant that they couldn’t ss with the distinguished guest.
Therefore, she couldn’t drag him away even if she wanted to.
“Let go and have a look!” Yujie was going to leave, but she suggested after thinking for a while.
“Okay, okay, sorry to bother you, benefactor Yujie!” Huiding was overjoyed and thanked Yujie with her palms put together devoutly.
The two nuns knew Yujie and that she was the personal principal maid of the Fifth Miss of Duke Xing’s Mansion and had a good relationship with their master. Besides, it was said that she ca from Jiangzhou like their master, so they must have a deeper connection. It would be best if she ca forward to negotiate with the man. No matter who was the man inside, Yujie had Duke Xing’s Mansion and Rui’an Great Elder Princess’s Mansion as her backing anyway.
It was enough to make the “distinguished guest” inside not dare to offend her.
Yujie nodded and turned into the courtyard.
Doctor Qi was still talking in the courtyard when he heard soone behind him call, “Doctor Qi!”
He looked back and didn’t recognize Yujie at the mont. After looking her up and down a few tis, he only felt that she looked a little familiar. He asked, “Which mansion do you work in? How do you know ?”
As Chu Liuchen’s personal doctor, he seldom got out of the mansion and t guests. Even when he went out, he only did his business as an ordinary servant of Prince Chen’s Mansion, so very few people knew his true identity.
“Doctor Qi, great wits have short mories. I’m a maid serving the Fifth Miss of Duke Xing’s Mansion. I have t you with my master before!”
Yujie bowed to him and said with a smile.
“The Fifth Miss Shao’s maid?” Doctor Qi asked. He certainly knew who the Fifth Miss Shao was and heard from Xiao Xuanzi that she was the internally decided Princess Chen. He had t her more than two years ago, but she was very young at that ti. It was said that this ti his master ca to the Yuhui Nunnery for her.
“Exactly!” Yujie said with a smile.
“Does the Fifth Miss send you here?” Doctor Qi asked with a smile. He, who was drenched all over, acted as if he didn’t know he was in a very embarrassing situation and stirred a strand of hair on his forehead backward.
“I’m not sent here by my master, but co here because I happen to need to talk to Mingqiu Nun. Doctor Qi, you actually don’t look very good at the mont. Mingqiu Nun is quite straightforward. If you insist on staying here with this look, she will definitely beco increasingly angry.” Yujie reached out to point at Doctor Qi’s wet clothes and said.
“You stay here with this look. Those aware of the situation think that you don’t want to change your clothes, but those unaware of the situation may think that you intend to fra Mingqiu Nun by drenching yourself. If the pilgrims see this, it will be disgraceful and tarnish Mingqiu Nun’s reputation. She just puts up at the Yuhui Nunnery for a short stay, so she, who ca from Jiangzhou is less close to the original nuns in the nunnery. If you insist on doing this...”
Yujie reached out to cover her nose with a handkerchief in so disgust and took a step back. She didn’t finish her words, but had made her thought clear.
Doctor Qi was stunned for a mont. It seed that he didn’t expect Mingqiu Nun to live such a difficult life in the Yuhui Nunnery. He hesitated for a mont and stood up.
“Junior Sister, I’m leaving now.” After saluting towards the closed door of the silence room with joined hands, he reluctantly turned around and walked out.
Despite his wet clothes, Doctor Qi beca the arrogant man Yujie had seen in Prince Chen’s Mansion again. At the sight of this, Yujie blinked and said to herself, “Junior Sister?”
As her master expected, there was sothing between Mingqiu Nun and Doctor Qi. She had been Mingqiu Nun’s disciple for so many years, but she had never heard Mingqiu Nun ntion that she had a senior brother. Was Doctor Qi Mingqiu Nun’s senior brother?
Seeing that Doctor Qi finally left, the two nuns at the door were overjoyed. They hurriedly ca in and pulled Yujie back to the door, for fear of disturbing Mingqiu Nun. After that, they thanked Yujie profusely.
Looking at the tightly closed silence room, Yujie knew that Mingqiu Nun might not want to et anyone at this mont. So she didn’t disturb her, and left after chatting with the two nuns for a while.
Without Qu Le around and a painting in her hand, Yujie didn’t hide herself and went to the place, where the girl had fallen, naturally. Along the way, she inquired about whether there were any pilgrims falling. However, every nun she t shook their heads and said that there was no such thing.
When she ca to the place, where the girl had fallen, it was very quiet with no one else around.
She looked around, only to find a small hall. In fact, it was located around the edge of the Yuhui Nunnery. Large halls were located on the axis of the periphery of the Yuhui Nunnery. Only so small halls, where so little known Buddhas were worshiped, were located around the side gate.
The small hall didn’t attract as many pilgrims as those large halls and was located at the edge of the nunnery. People seldom co there, so it was a remote place.
Yujie and Qu Le were just maids and found it convenient to take a shortcut, so they often liked to go out through here.
In this small hall was a statue of a Buddha, whose na even Yujie couldn’t tell. When she was in Jingxin Monastery, there was definitely no such statue.
Yujie walked in, only to find a small Buddha statue and an altar with so incense and candles on it. The incense was lit up, while the candles were not. Obviously because no one ca here, they didn’t light up the candles in case of a waste of candles.
A young nun in the Yuhui Nunnery had told Yujie that it was enough to light up a few sticks of incense in such small halls and there was no need to light up candles.
Yujie raised her head to look at the statue. It was a ferocious-looking statue with an object seeming like a writing brush or a fork in its hand stepping on a creature seeming like a fish. Besides these, she could see nothing else.
After looking at it for a while, Yujie went out and walked back. It was an accident, and she didn’t take it seriously. It was just that an insolent Miss blad others for her falling and was too embarrassed to make it significant later because she couldn’t find them.
Unexpectedly, she thought it just an ordinary encounter, but in fact, it was not...
