Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 1
It was midsummer, and the weather was swelteringly hot, with no wind at all.

On the small altar, there is a Guanyin Bodhisattva carved with white jade. In front of it is a purple sand incense burner with two ears and three legs carved with fine patterns. There are three sandalwood incense sticks in the burner. With the unique and delicate fragrance of sandalwood, it makes people clear their minds and eliminate distracting thoughts.

The so-called, calm and cool naturally.

Shen Yuechen clasped his hands together, knelt on the futon with a straight posture, and concentrated on reciting scriptures silently, not caring about the stuffy heat in the room and the monotonous and piercing cicadas outside the window.

Her eyebrows and eyes are rather delicate, her body is thin, she wears a moon-white dress, the wide cuffs are slightly rolled up, revealing the slender arms inside, her waist-length hair is neatly combed, soft and appropriate.

The side courtyard where she lives is not big. There is an old pagoda tree with sparse branches and leaves in the center of the courtyard, and there is a narrow deep well beside it.To the south of the courtyard are three side rooms with gray walls and blue tiles. Because the doors and windows face the scorching sun and accumulate a lot of heat, and the ventilation is poor, the house is always very boring in summer.

However, boring is boring, if compared with Jingyue Nunnery in the past, the conditions here are much better.

There are not many furnishings in the room, and the furniture and utensils are all in a dark style, which looks old and simple, especially the purple purlin wood carving book table next to the window. There are pens, inks, papers and inkstones on the table. There are also two thick stacks of copied scriptures, all of which are of the best Huixuan, and the handwriting on the paper is elegant and powerful, very grand.As for the bedroom in the east, there is only a jujube wood canopy bed, hung with a green gauze curtain, and the quilt on it is folded with sharp edges and corners.

Five days later, it would be the anniversary of the death of Shen Yuechen's biological mother Lin, and those scriptures were all for her to send to the White Pagoda Temple to do meritorious deeds.

However, that day was the anniversary of Lin's death and also Shen Yuechen's birthday.

When Shen Yuechen was born, it was a dystocia, and it took Lin a full six hours to give birth to her, but in the end, unfortunately, the child passed away before he could even see his face clearly.

When she first came to this world, her mother was killed. In addition, when she was born, she was covered in blood, and her eyes were open and she didn't cry or make a fuss. The whole family was horrified by it. They thought she was some evil reincarnated. Her father Shen Zhiyun drowned himself in the tub in a rage.

Shen Yuechen, who survived the catastrophe, is naturally not a monster. Those seemingly unusual appearances are just because there is a soul from the future world hidden in her body.A sudden traffic accident made her soul accidentally travel to this different time and space. From the initial panic and absurdity to the current calmness and indifference, the baptism of the years made her learn to be grateful to God and the Buddha's mercy, and also learned to be obedient. Its natural to accept reality.

The Great Zhou Dynasty was originally a strange dynasty that she had never heard of in her previous life, but now, she is already familiar with everything here.

Mother Wu hurried into the yard, her face was covered with sweat from the heat, and the clothes on her back were also soaked in sweat, revealing a large oval sweat stain.

From here to the main courtyard, at most it only takes a cup of tea. Walking along the shady corridor on the road makes it easier to get there early and return early, but the accountant deliberately procrastinates, making her suffer under the poisonous sun. After waiting for a long time, I got the monthly payment for this month.

Mama Wu was so angry that she gritted her teeth secretly and held back her anger.After taking care of the young lady for so many years, I know that she is in a difficult situation in the Shen family, and I don't want to make her feel sad and embarrassed because of such trivial matters.

Almost everyone in Shen's residence knew that Shen Yuechen, who now lived in the Southern Courtyard, was the most unfavored eldest lady in the family, and also the least powerful and faceless.Although she is the eldest daughter, she was neglected and disliked by the master because she was born to restrain her mother. She was sent out of the house to be fostered in a nunnery in a remote mountain after she was only three days old. Moreover, she lived here for more than ten years. Last year, the old man was promoted in the officialdom, and after becoming a fifth-rank magistrate of Laizhou, he was picked up by the old lady to take him back to his old house in Dezhou and put it on the genealogy.The reason why the old lady brought Shen Yuechen back suddenly was not because she felt sorry for her, but more because she wanted to save face for the Shen family.
