Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 54 I'm going to be sent to be a nun
The next day, the four master and servant moved to the long-abandoned courtyard in the southwest corner.

This yard used to have an owner. The owner was a concubine of the old Hou Ye. Somehow, he was sent to live here. Three years ago, the old Hou died, and the concubine became a monk, and the yard was left idle. .

After Liu Yunxiang married into the Hou's mansion, she has never seen this concubine's room. She has been in this courtyard, and the courtyard door is locked tightly, no one is allowed to disturb her.

A secret door was opened on the west side of the courtyard, and after passing through the secret door, there was an alley behind the Hou Mansion.

So this courtyard is more like a courtyard independent from the Hou's Mansion. With this secret door, the concubine's room can not go to the front courtyard at all.

It is very clean.

The weeds in the courtyard are very tall, and the furniture is also very worn out when you walk into the house, but there is a sense of tranquility.

The green gauze tent, the step-out bed, and three incense sticks in front of the Bodhisattva statue.

Jinyan took Zijin and Xiaowu to clean up, and Liu Yunxiang was placed outside to bask in the sun.When the sun goes down, it's almost ready.

Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the butler walked in with two nurses.

"Butler Li, what are you doing so aggressively?"

Seeing Liu Yunxiang, the butler coughed dryly before saying, "The kitchen was broken into last night."

"Oh?"

"Stolen a sack of rice."

Liu Yunxiang narrowed his eyes: "You caught a thief and came to my yard, and only for a bag of rice?"

"The second lady said that since the family is separated, the third lady should not try to take another grain of rice from the Hou's mansion. Even if one day you are so poor that you become a beggar, don't go begging in front of the Hou's mansion."

"She is beating me with this bag of rice, but I will also give this to her. When she is down and out, don't even think about asking me for a bowl of rice. Take this word to the old lady and the two wives. No matter what the future holds for Liu Yunxiang, he will definitely not find it in front of them!"

Only they begged for her share!
The butler waved his hand and asked the two nurses to go in and search.

Zijin blocked the door with his sword, Jinyan and Xiaowu also opened their arms to block.

"Let them search!" Liu Yunxiang said.

"Ma'am, they are too bullying!" Jin Yan cried angrily.

"Don't cry, hold back."

Liu Yunxiang finished speaking, Zijin and the others had no choice but to get out of the way.Steward Li took the two nurses in and searched, and rummaged through the house they had just tidied up, but they didn't find a single grain of rice.

"Third Madam, I've offended you." After finishing speaking, Steward Li smiled again, "But let the thieves go, we have to build a high wall at the gate of your courtyard, do you have any objection?"

Liu Yunxiang shook his head and laughed, "If you are not afraid of trouble, then do whatever you want."

Once the wall is built, she will be clean.

That night, Steward Li led the people in the house and began to build the wall.

Seeing that the wall is pulled out of the ground, higher than the courtyard wall, and is still going up.

When I looked at that wall again the next morning, I couldn't see the turrets, the trees in the distance, or the scenery of the Hou Mansion even if it was so high.

"I'm going to push 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 at noon, I've been wanting to eat it for a long time."

"what?"

"Whatever we eat, they can only smell it, so this wall is so good."

Thinking about that scene, Jin Yan couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, let's eat grilled lamb chops at noon. The slaves have been in the kitchen for several years, and the craftsmanship is still good. It must be roasted deliciously, and they will die of hunger."

Liu Yunxiang gave Jinyan a bag of money, "You still need to buy more meat and vegetables. If the meat cannot be preserved, it will be dried and salted. Buy some vegetables that can be stored for a long time. I guess it will take a month. Beijing can survive this famine."

Jinyan nodded, "Your servant knows, don't worry."

Before the famine came, Liu Yunxiang felt at ease looking at the high wall in front of the yard, seeing the rice urn full of rice, feeling at ease looking at the dried meat and a jar of bacon, and seeing the pile of firewood piled up into a hill was also at ease. An Xin, looking at the three girls beside her is very reassuring.

But within two days of An Xin, a decree came down, asking her and several officials to accompany the Queen Mother to Ziyun Nunnery to eat fast and pray for blessings, and she was stunned.

This was not the case in the previous life!
Ke Yi's decree was sent to the Hou's mansion, and she was asked to go by name, but she had no choice but to accept the decree.

The second wife, Mrs. Xue, looked at this Yizhi with a little jealousy, "The other officials are either princesses or have been appointed by imperial edicts. It can be seen how honorable it is to accompany the queen mother to pray for blessings. If you choose a wife from our Jing'an Houfu , it shouldn't be her after all."

In fact, Liu Yunxiang also felt quite strange, why did he choose her.

Seeing everything, the old lady raised her eyes and glanced at Liu Yunxiang, and said, "It has been raining for several days, and there is no clear sky. I heard that the road to Beijing has been washed away, and it may cause natural disasters. The queen mother believes in Buddhism. Whenever there is a vision in the sky, she will go to Ziyun Nunnery to pray for blessings. But the Buddha is always there, but her old man cannot always serve in front of the Buddha. Generally, they are widows without children, and after the queen mother returns to Beijing, she will continue to stay in the nunnery and serve the Buddha all her life."

Xue Shi was startled, "Could it be like Aunt Yan..."

Liu Yunxiang was stunned.

This is to send her to become a nun!
