Twin Brocade

Chapter 97
Hearing what she said, Fang Jinshu was taken aback for a moment, then covered his mouth and laughed.Wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, Fang Jinshu thought to himself: This Fang Fei is really cute.

In the afternoon, the nuns of the same grade in the same courtyard went out to do their own work.

Except for the concubine who came here to practice, there are handy women, all the work in the nunnery has to be done by the nuns themselves.

Jingyi nunnery is a nunnery that has been passed down for hundreds of years. Because it has no competition with the world in the deep mountains, it is protected from the fire of war.During times of war, many desperate women come here to marry and become nuns, and the size of the nunnery has also expanded again and again.

At present, there are more than [-] nuns alone.So many people need to eat and drink, so there is a lot of work to do.

After Jingyi nunnery became a royal nunnery, money was allocated from the emperor's internal treasury every year.But this sum of money, apart from the food and clothing of the concubines and concubines, and other expenses such as house repairs, there is not much left.

Master Jingchen has presided over the nunnery for decades, and she has always been used to simplicity, and she didn't expect to live with the court's money.Still following the usual style of the past, the large vegetable field in the back nunnery is the main source of food for the nuns in the nunnery.

Therefore, including Jing Chen, all the nuns lined up and took turns to fertilize the vegetable fields, catch insects and loosen the soil.Those who don't go to the vegetable field also have to wash and pick vegetables for cooking, which is very busy.

Fang Jinshu looked at the quiet courtyard outside, heard the sounds of labor in the distance, and said, "Fang Fei, go out and look around, and help anyone who needs help."

Fang Fei stopped kneading her legs and feet, and said: "Okay, maidservant will go now."

She got up and straightened her clothes, and after going to the door, she found a door bolt and placed it by Fang Jinshu's hand, saying, "Defend the girl." She was worried that Fang Jinshu would stay in the courtyard alone, but she would obey the girl's orders , and found a bolt that was temporarily used as a weapon.

Looking at the stick as thick as a child's arm, Fang Jinshu thought to himself: Where did you get the confidence to think that I can move this stick?

She took out a book from the cage, and sat under the window to read it carefully.Although the first day was free, she didn't want to waste this great time.

When it was dark, Fang Fei, Hui Yin and the others went back to the yard together.Seeing her reading under the window, Huiyin smiled and said, "Shuyin, it's getting dark, watch carefully."

Fang Jinshu thanked them with a smile, and saw that they all tied up their monk robes, and there were still spots of mud on the hem, so he asked, "Where did it go?"

"The radishes in the field are sprouting, we picked them up and made dinner." Huiyin said with a smile, "I would also like to thank Shuyin for lending Fang Fei out, she is a good hand at work."

Huiyin wondered in her heart, it wasn't because she heard that the maids of these rich families were more well-raised than the ladies of ordinary families, why this Fang Fei was so familiar with farming.

But this is someone else's business, so she didn't ask much.It's too late to say thank you for a free labor.

In the evening, among the meals that Fang Fei brought from the big kitchen, there were indeed verdant radish seedlings.After sautéing the minced garlic with vegetable oil until fragrant, I just fried a few shovelfuls, because the ingredients are fresh and smell delicious, no worse than the carefully prepared dishes in Fangfu.

There is also a lotus root vegetable soup and a plate of bad chili.The rice, mixed with yellow and orange crushed corn kernels, is steaming.

Seeing that Fang Jinshu ate deliciously and ate two bowls of rice in a row, Fang Fei felt relieved.

It doesn't matter to her, this kind of meal is much better than when she was at home.But after seeing Fang's food, she was really worried that Fang Jinshu wouldn't have enough to eat.

Speaking of it, Fang Jinshu has never eaten such a simple fast in these two lifetimes.But she knew better in her heart that if she couldn't adapt as soon as possible, after picking and choosing, she would only suffer.

Fortunately, although the food is simple, the cooking skills of the nun are not bad, and the taste of these fresh ingredients is brought out to the fullest.Although there is no meat, it is no problem to fill your stomach after a meal.

At night, the wind is cool and the dew is heavy, and the oil lamps provided by the nunnery are dimly lit, and all the people living in the nunnery have to rest early.Fang Fei fetched hot water from the large kitchen, and the two of them turned off the light after washing, and got into the thick blanket.

This hour was earlier than what Fang Jinshu was used to.Although it was warm in bed, Fang Jinshu didn't feel sleepy, so he asked Fangfei about the nunnery.

Fang Fei went out for a walk in the afternoon and helped out in the vegetable field. She had a rough idea and said, "It's quite big here. In front is the main hall, and there is a big courtyard in the middle. There are also Buddha statues enshrined all around." temple."

"The house we live in belongs to the monk's house, and further inside is the place where the concubines and concubines clean up. Huiyin told me that they usually don't come out, and told me not to approach them, for fear of offending the nobles. "

"There is a kitchen in the back nunnery, and there is a large vegetable field. It is almost winter, and the radishes and cabbages that are planted now are seasonal and cold-resistant. There is a peach grove further back. According to Huiyin, in spring, The wild flowers and peach blossoms all over the mountains are so beautiful!"

Speaking of this, Fang Fei's voice faded, and said: "It's a pity that we came late, the peaches are out of season, and those who haven't finished eating have to go down the mountain to exchange for rice grains. Yuanyin said that the peaches in the back mountain taste the best. Crunchy, sweet, and big!"

"Who is Yuanyin?"

"It's the round-faced, youngest nun."

Fang Jinshu thought about it carefully, and asked with a smile, "Could it be the one who swallowed his saliva looking at Pea Huang?" He looked not much older than her, and his chubby face was very cute.

"Exactly." Fang Fei turned over and looked at Fang Jinshu, and said, "Miss, remember her too?"

Fang Jinshu nodded. It seemed that Yuanyin and Fangfei were both in the same spirit. No wonder they chatted all afternoon.

"By the way, girl." Fang Fei suddenly remembered something, and said: "I asked Huiyin, hot water is only heated in the kitchen at night here. For bathing, it can only be done once a week."

"I always use cold water when I get up in the morning, what should I do?"

Before she left, Si Lansheng told her that Fang Jinshu had a delicate body since he was a child, so he must not catch a cold.But there is no hot water, and there is no separate stove in the yard, so what should I do.

Fang Jinshu smiled slightly, and said, "What's the matter, they can wash with cold water, so can I."

"Then what's the matter?" Fang Fei said anxiously: "The eldest lady said that the girl is not in good health, so she has to take good care of her."

"I can do it." Fang Jinshu's voice was very light, but full of unquestionable firmness.

This firmness miraculously soothed the anxiety in Fang Fei's heart.

The two talked softly for a while before falling asleep.

Maybe it was because of going to bed early, the nuns in the entire nunnery woke up very early.The genius revealed some light, and the sound of people's activities resounded in the courtyard.
