Chapter 38
Mrs. An Guohou's mocking voice pierced everyone's ears: "Sure enough, she is an unfilial thing. I have 10,000+ taels of silver in my hand, but I am reluctant to give my elders a little bit of filial piety!"
Mu Chu raised his head and looked in the direction of Mrs. An Guohou, his eyes were shining brightly.
"It turns out that the daughters of Madam's family all use their own dowry to give gifts to Madam!"
These words made Mrs. An Guohou's face darken. Most women's dowries were originally prepared by their elders. Naturally, it is impossible to use the things left by the elders as dowry and send them back.
But Mu Chu's situation is different, everyone seems to ignore this point.
Mu Xue's gift was prepared by the Yue family. As an imperial concubine, Mu Yue would be amazed if she took out anything casually, but Mu Chu... only had the dowry left by her mother.
She turned sideways slightly, with a smile on her lips: "I went to grandma's place two days ago, and saw that grandma's complexion was not very good, and she must not be able to sleep well, so Chu'er has checked a lot of prescriptions for grandma in the past two days. Made a sachet, as long as this sachet is kept by your side, the state of insomnia will definitely be relieved, Chu'er does not have so much money in hand, and the dowry money left by his mother cannot be used rashly, so he has to use other methods to make the most of it. Filial piety!"
When Mu Xue heard this, her expression changed. Seeing that the old lady's expression had softened significantly, she clenched her fist slightly, raised her arm and pulled La Muyue's sleeve.
Concubine Yue glanced at Mu Chu, and sneered softly: "You are not being filial, you are reluctant to spend money, your grandmother is getting old, it is inevitable that there will be some minor illnesses, as long as you buy some supplements, such a big birthday banquet , You actually took out a sachet that is not on the table, do you not care about grandma?"
"Of course not!"
Mu Chu rejected Mu Yue's words, with a serious expression on his face: "It's just that Chu'er thinks that grandma's body is much better than those expensive gifts that you can see but don't use!"
"you……"
Mu Yue slapped the table and stood up straight away with a gloomy face: "You mean, it's the Buddha that grandma believes in, so it's useless?"
Mu Chu smiled, "Don't worry, concubine, Chu'er makes sense when she says this, let's not say whether the Buddhist scriptures you gave to grandma are true or not, let's just say that this Buddha statue of sister Xue'er is precious in appearance, but grandma's every year You have to receive many statues, no matter big or small, this gift cannot be sold, eaten or cured. Although there is respect for the Buddha, the grandmother must enshrine all the Buddha statues properly every day, and they must not be dusty. Don't talk about hard work, maybe you won't be welcomed by the Buddha, there is a saying that the true meaning is to have a Buddha in the heart of a Buddhist believer, do you want grandma to work harder by doing this?"
Everyone knew that Mu Chu was talking heresy, but after thinking about her words carefully, they felt that there was some truth in her words.
People who believe in Buddhism treat Buddha statues more solemnly, but it doesn't mean that the more expensive Buddha statues are, the more meaningful they are. In the past, the old lady received dozens of Buddha statues, almost filling the entire Buddhist hall, and they are still giving them away. is nothing new.
Mu Yue stood up, staring at Mu Chu with burning eyes.
She didn't care about what Mu Chu said later, she was fully focused on the first sentence Mu Chu said.
"Are you saying that the Buddhist scriptures invited by the imperial concubine are fake?"
Mu Chu nodded and looked at her with a half-smile.
"Whether it's true or not, I don't know, but judging by the reactions of the ladies, I'm afraid that Buddhist scripture is very rare, but since it is a Buddhist scripture, how can it be used as a congratulatory gift?"
Mu Yue narrowed her eyes: "If it's not a congratulatory gift, then what else should it be?"
Mu Chu turned back to look at the old lady with deep eyes, and saw that the old lady was waiting for her to finish speaking with a serious face, and she didn't show any sign of anger, so she said: "Since it's a Buddhist scripture, of course it will be effective if you ask for it yourself. I'm afraid it won't be effective if you give it to someone else like a noble concubine!"
Mu Yue's angry eyes were slightly red, she did not expect that this ugly girl would be so eloquent, "I never thought that although your face is ruined, you are still very eloquent, but I only ask you one question, how can you be so eloquent?" Why do you say that the Buddhist scriptures of this palace are fake, if there is no evidence, even if you are my younger sister, this palace will not let you go, slandering the imperial concubine is a capital offense!"
Mu Chu looked at Concubine Yue without any fear.Aunt Lan had already sent someone to tell her indirectly the congratulatory gift of the two of them, so how could she dare to come up without any preparation.
She had known for a long time that this family would definitely make things difficult for her, no matter what she did, she would never escape.
This congratulatory gift was Yue Shi's beating on her, so it's not a good opportunity for her to fight back.
Mu Chu stared at Concubine Yue, whose eyes were full of anger, and slowly said, "Chu'er has no solid evidence, but there is evidence. The concubine's concubine gave the old lady the scriptures of the former master, but the former abbot of Mingyue Temple He passed away 20 years ago, and the hand-copied Buddhist scriptures he left behind during his lifetime are even more precious. Today, the Empress Dowager believes in Buddhism and specially seals the scriptures he left behind in Mingyue Temple as a tribute, although some Madam didn't know the inside story, so she went to ask for scriptures, but she should have been rejected, dare to ask the imperial concubine, how did you get it?"
Mu Yue's eyes widened. She never expected that Mu Chu would be able to understand all of this clearly.
Hearing what she said clearly and logically, she was a little flustered, because even she didn't know these things, otherwise, how could she have the chance to go to the temple to get the scriptures.
This scripture must be true, those monks dare not lie to her, but no matter how they comfort themselves at this moment, there is a crack in Concubine Yue's heart.
"I haven't even heard of this matter. You, a woman who stays in the cabinet, how do you know?"
Many wives also nodded. When Master Abbot passed away, many of them were girls in the boudoir. After more than [-] years of work, there are still no one to pursue this. Most of them know. Only scriptures are precious.
Mu Chu blinked his eyes. Although it was difficult, the original owner still knew a lot of words under the guidance of Nanny Lin, and because he didn't have money to buy paper and books, he read almost all the books left by Princess Yuzhuo Once again, although it was burned later, the knowledge was still recorded in her mind.
Mu Chu's memory is already outstanding, and now he can still remember it with his photographic memory. There are many stories in the book about the unofficial history of the court and some major events that happened in recent years, so although Mu Chu doesn't come out behind closed doors, there are contents recorded in the book , she still remembers it all.
Even if she herself doesn't know whether what is said in the book is true or not, but it is enough to fool people.
"No matter how I know, the imperial concubine might as well go to the temple and send someone to check if this scripture is true or not!" At the meeting, Mingyue Temple tracked down these things.
It's not good for her to spread the word.
Mu Yue pursed her lips tightly, her cheeks flushed, and she felt that she had lost all her face today.
How much everyone supported her just now, but now they look at her so strangely.
Not only Concubine Yue, but even the old lady's expression changed, she just felt that the scriptures in her hand were a hot potato.
Because the Empress Dowager of the court believed in Buddhism, although she had not asked about world affairs for many years, there were still many Buddhist believers in the minister's family. In the imperial city, Mingyue Temple's status was even more abundant.
It's just that since the former abbot passed away, the new abbot has been doing nothing. Even though his status is still noble, there has been a lot of corruption in the temple. Even if these things have not been brought to the imperial court, they are well known in the hearts of everyone.
"Based on your few words, you say that the scriptures of this palace are fake, who can believe you?" Mu Yue felt the quiet atmosphere around her, and her heart beat a little faster, but she is the noble concubine of the sixth palace, It is impossible to be defeated by Mu Chu so quickly.
Her breath was steady, and although there was a little panic in her eyes, her expression was calm.
Mu Chu nodded and smiled lightly: "If it is true, then the imperial concubine is a big crime. This scripture was given to Mingyue Temple by the empress dowager, and the people of Mingyue Temple took it out as a gift to the imperial concubine. I am afraid that if it is investigated..." The implications are extensive.
In the last few words, Mu Chu added in his heart that although she didn't intend to disturb the old lady's birthday banquet, she was not easy to be provoked by others who forced her to suppress her like this.
Mu Chu believes that the book left by Princess Yuzhuo must be true, even if it is not, who can find the Empress Dowager to confront her.
Even those unofficial histories must be compiled with facts.
Even though the Empress Dowager is no longer in charge of some things in the harem, she still has the prestige. When several countries joined forces to attack, the empress dowager's forceful means may still be remembered by many people.
Mu Yue pursed her lips, and there was a trace of murderous intent in her cold eyes, but she forced herself to bear it, turned her head, and said slowly: "Then who can prove the fact that you made up your nonsense?" Whether it's true or not, I'm afraid it's just an excuse you use to harm me!"
Mu Chu raised his head. Although his face was ugly, his black eyes were full of confidence.
The man in black sitting not far away saw this with a faint cold light in his eyes.
The face of the middle-aged man standing beside him changed a little, but there was a little approving expression on his face.
But looking at the faces of his master and the woman above, he felt a little pity.
Such a woman is very smart, but with that ugly face, it is impossible for people to look directly at her. This woman has no money and no power, and has no way to help His Royal Highness Luo Wang. The Queen Mother gave her marriage to Luo Wang. Obviously to humiliate his master.
If this woman really married, she might not escape bad luck. Who told her to be born in such an imperial city?
And according to the master's disposition, he would never look at the woman more than once, if he didn't just kill her and throw her out, she would be blessed.
Sure enough, King Luo narrowed his eyes slightly, and slowly lowered his head: "Bored, go home!"
