The story of the husband and the son of the doctor and daughter of Houmen

Chapter 29
Mother Feng sighed first, and then said: "August [-]th is my aunt's ten-year memorial day. In the past, there was a small Buddhist hall in our mansion, and the girls would go quietly to offer a stick of incense. This year, here, in the mansion Naturally, there is no place to worship, so it is better to tell my aunt, let's go to live in the nunnery outside for a few days."

"Oh!" Yao Yanyu thought to herself, how could I forget about this!For the ten-year memorial day, I managed to come up with a whole number. As a daughter, it will take at least half a month to go to the nunnery to copy scriptures, chant scriptures and pray for blessings, right?
Early the next morning, Yao Yanyu found an opportunity to meet Yao Fengge and told her thoughts.

Yao Fengge pondered for a long time after hearing this.

Yao Yanyu's mother was originally the distant niece of the old lady of the Yao family, the Song family's natal family. As for Yao Fengge, the niece of the same family who has been separated for several generations, she can't tell clearly. I only know that after the birth of the second son, Yao Yanyi, Wang's confinement did not go well, and she was sick. Sullen.The old lady made the decision to bring Mrs. Song into Yao's house in a small sedan chair, and made Yao Yuanzhi a noble concubine.

After Mrs. Song entered the house, she naturally couldn't interfere with the official affairs of the mansion. She only helped the mistress take care of the chores of the maids and servants in the backyard, and was responsible for taking care of the old lady.But there was no news from my stomach for several years after entering the door.

Later, Wang suddenly became pregnant again and gave birth to her daughter Yao Fengge. After giving birth, the doctor said that it was impossible to conceive again.

The main family can't have children, so Ding Xingwang, the important person of the Yao family, has to take Yao Yuanzhi as a concubine. Anyway, the Wang family has two sons and a daughter, and their status is already very stable, so they don't care about it.Then another concubine, Shi Tian, ​​came in.

Strange to say, after Tian entered the house, Song became pregnant and gave birth to Yao Yanyu.But in the end, having a child hurts the body, and after that, I become ill and often take medicine.Then Yao Yanyu died when she was six years old.The old lady asked Ren Haosheng to collect her, and bought a cemetery to bury her alone.

That's why Yao Yanyu would offer a stick of incense to Mrs. Song in the small Buddhist hall at home every year on Mrs. Song's memorial day. Mrs. Song would ask someone to bring some fresh fruits over, and Mrs. Wang didn't say much.

Yao Fengge was very clear about these things, so it was not easy for her to refuse Yao Yanyu's proposal.After all, she is the biological mother, and her status is not so humble, and she is also related to the old lady by blood.Even if you don't look at others, you still have to look at the old lady's face.

So Yao Fengge pondered for a long time and finally nodded: "Your kindness will definitely be appreciated by sending your aunt to the spirit of heaven. But you said that it is too long to live in a nunnery for a month. The weather is getting colder every day in the future, and you suffer from it outside. Liang is also at a disadvantage in his own body, in my opinion, it will be fine if he stays for twelve days."

Yao Yanyu only wanted to go out and talk, so she hurriedly agreed: "Yes, I will listen to my sister."

"A nunnery..." Yao Fengge thought about it in his heart, an ordinary nunnery would definitely not work, Yao Yanyu is now a guest of Dinghou Mansion, if something happens, both himself and Dinghou Mansion will look bad, so he said: "Three miles to the south of Dabei Temple in the west of the city is Cixin Nunnery. Like Dabei Temple, this nunnery belongs to the royal temple. The environment is quiet and there are many houses. It is convenient for you to bring girls and women to live there, and it hosts Master Jingfang I also know Tai, so you can go there and chant scriptures for your aunt."

Yao Yanyu suppressed the joy in her heart and calmly thanked her. Yao Fengge called the two maids who were in charge, told them to go with the second girl, and asked Shanhu to seal 40 taels of silver for the sesame oil money for Cixin Nunnery. Ask someone to find out four bolts of silk with clean face and tell them to cut monk robes for the masters in the nunnery.

When Yao Yanyu went back, Nanny Feng packed up all her belongings and loaded them into two large carts. She got up early the next morning and went to Mrs. Lu's room with Yao Fengge. No matter what, she would go out with Mrs. Lu for more than ten days. say hi.

After Mrs. Lu heard about it, she smiled slightly and said, "Your child is kind-hearted, so you can go. Being outside is no better than being at home. Don't be greedy for coolness in the morning and evening. It is important to pay attention to your body."

Yao Yanyu hurriedly got up and agreed, then saluted Mrs. Lu and said goodbye, then came out, directly boarded the carriage outside the vertical flower gate of the inner house, and went straight to the west of the city.

"Ah! It's finally out!" Yao Yanyu stretched his arms while sitting in the carriage, took a deep breath, and felt that even the air was much fresher.

"It's only about ten days, and I still have to come back." Cuiwei reminded with a light smile, "I really don't know what the girl thinks, she just likes the life in the mountains and forests so much? The nunnery is full of vegetarian food, and the girl doesn't know it for twelve days. I don’t know if you can get used to the taste of meat?”

"If you can live with peace of mind, it doesn't matter if you don't eat meat for the rest of your life! What's more, with your girl and me, do you want to eat anything? I'm afraid you will get bored of eating meat." Besides, as long as I can come out, I have the ability If you don't go back, who said it's only twelve days?Yao Yanyu smiled with crooked brows and sly eyes, she was completely different from the meek-tempered second girl Yao in Hou's mansion.

"Isn't it? Girl." Cuiping's eyes widened, "It's a place where Buddha is worshiped. Even if we just rent here, we can't have sex on their land, right? The host will drive us out."

"Who said meat is served in the nunnery?" Yao Yanyu snorted with a chuckle, "Why are you so pedantic at such a young age? Let's go to the mountains and forests to get wild game and roast it, can the master of the nunnery take care of it?"

"..." Cuiping glanced at Cuiwei, thinking, didn't the girl say that she went to the nunnery to chant scriptures and pay homage to the dead Aunt Song?

Although Cixin Nunnery is a nunnery, its size is larger than that of a small temple.There are three main halls before and after, and the golden bodies of Buddha, Bodhisattva and Arhat in the hall are extremely majestic.

Although Yao Yanyu is a medical student and believes in science, this time travel made her dare not disrespect the gods.So after entering the door, clean your hands and offer incense to pay homage to the Buddha.

After offering incense, Yao Fengge summoned two women to donate silver and cloth.Master Jingyun, who was in charge of the property at Cixin Nunnery, asked people to store the things in the warehouse, and then invited Yao Yanyu to have tea in the quiet room next to her.Yao Yan explained her intentions in words, and offered 40 taels of money and silver with candlelight.

Cixin Nunnery is a place where the wives and grandmothers of the rich and powerful in the capital often come to make good fortune, so the houses are repaired every year, and the small courtyards are very clean and quiet.

Mrs. Jingyun arranged for Yao Yanyu a small courtyard in a row of houses to the west of the main hall. A clump of purple bamboo was planted in the courtyard, so it was named Zhuxinyuan.There are a total of more than a dozen houses in the courtyard, including the main house and the side rooms, all of which are clean and elegant.The mountain wind blew, and the green bamboos in the courtyard swayed, and the singing of dragons and phoenix tails were swaying.

Nanny Feng brought in Yao Yanyu's bedding, clothes, toiletries, and other four big boxes. Cuiwei and Cuiping were busy going in and out. Yao Yanyu was drinking tea with Master Jingyun and Master Jing'an. They have tidied up the house.

On August [-]th, Nanny Feng arranged Song's tablet and incense burner offerings neatly in the side room of the small courtyard.Yao Yanyu changed into plain clothes, came over to offer incense and pray, sat down on the couch beside her, and copied scriptures for the whole day.
