Aristocratic Concubine

Chapter 4 Find a way to go back (2)
In the evening, the two little girls boiled a pot of hot water in the hut at the back, soaked their hands and feet that were about to freeze, filled two more thermos bottles, covered them in the quilt, and slept in each other's arms for the night. He didn't tell Bi Cao about the robbery first.

In the next few days, Wanqing was still caught by Jingwen every day to chop firewood, carry water and wash clothes. Wanqing and Bicao did it honestly.

Early in the morning on Dongyue 24, Jing Wen knocked on the door again: "Hey, Miss San, it's been so hot in the sun, why are you still sleeping? You are really everyone's daughter, very delicate, the water tank in the kitchen But it’s still empty, and if there’s no water, don’t even think about eating.”

Bicao opened the door in the house, and it snowed all night last night, but today is really sunny, thanks to Jingwen's diligence, stepping on the knee-high snow to supervise the two of them.

Jingwen is actually only sixteen or seventeen years old. I heard that she was an orphan since she was a child, and she was born in hardship, but she can't see anyone better than her. Since Wanqing came in, she has been thinking of ways to torture Wanqing every day, carrying water. Chopping firewood is a daily compulsory course, and she often instigates Wanqing and Bicao to clean up her house. Wanqing will complain to Zhiren if she doesn't follow her rules. , Wanqing and Bicao hate her the most.

"Damn it, my lady is not your rough servant girl, why should we ask us to carry water for you? If my lady doesn't come, you don't want to drink water?" Bi Cao changed her usual honesty and forbearance today. He bowed his waist and cursed at Jingwen.

"Hey, you little hoof has eaten the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard today. If you dare to talk back to Benny, don't use your magistrate's style to show off in front of Benny. Once you enter the nunnery, you will be under Benny's supervision. Long-winded, Benny tore your mouth." Jing Wen pointed at Bi Cao's nose and started cursing, she was used to beating and scolding Bi Cao, and she was furious when she talked back.

"I'll just talk back. What's the matter, dead nun, you've been bullying our master and servant for half a year, and I'm going to take care of you today." Bi Cao rushed forward and grabbed Jing Wen, who was half a head taller than her, by the collar. She tugged toward the house.

Jingwen was not afraid of her, so she stretched out her hand and pinched Bicao's ears. Bicao bared her teeth in pain, and said, ouch, Jingwen was so excited that she wished she could tear off Bicao's ears.

Wanqing came out from behind the door with a beating bag in her hand, quietly stood on the threshold, and hit Jingwen's bald head with a stick. She almost used all her strength to hit Jingwen. Wen Heng didn't make a sound, and fell to the ground on his back.

After all, Bicao is young. The two of them had just discussed to deal with Jingwen. When she fought with Jingwen, her heart was pounding. Miss Zi really knocked Jingwen out at this moment. He said: "Miss, will... Will you shut the room again?"

"Don't be afraid, everything will be done according to what we discussed last night. Whether it succeeds or not, we have to fight it out. Otherwise, we are afraid that we will really die in this nunnery." Wanqing said confidently.

"But I'm afraid that the servants who came up the mountain are not known by the servants. In those years, the servants have been following you in the backyard, and the wife forbids you to go out to meet guests. I don't know many ladies and ladies." Bi Cao was a little depressed, she I really have no idea.

"It doesn't matter, even if you don't know each other, let the people who come to worship incense know that there is a daughter of the Gu family who suffers in the nunnery. Didn't you say that the wife cherishes feathers the most and wants a good reputation? Hmph, I don't believe that she is not afraid of others." Wanqing said calmly, last night she and Bicao had been calculating for a long time before coming up with this solution, and now Jingwen has been beaten by the two of them, and now the arrow is on the line, and it can only be carried out according to the plan, if it doesn't work, it can only be blamed Fate is bad, ideas are low.

Bi Cao thought about it, and the two closed the door of the hut, locked Jing Wen in the hut, and carried a small bucket to the main hall.

I met nuns in the nunnery along the road, and no one suspected them when they saw them fetching water as usual. When they reached the retreat, Wanqing and Bicao stooped to hide in the bamboo forest, and passed through the bamboo forest. You can see pilgrims coming up the mountain.

The wind made the bamboo forest creak and creak. Wanqing and Bicao squatted in the forest for half an hour and didn't see anyone come to offer incense. , Her cotton shoes were soaked in water yesterday, and a big hole was broken. Today, as soon as the sun came out and the snow melted, the mud filled the shoes. Li kept stomping his feet.

Wanqing was not much better, the edges of an old brocade padded jacket on her body were frayed, and the cotton was turned out in some places, and she did not sew it on purpose, just to let people see her shabby appearance.

"Miss, look, it's the carriage from Xifu. It must be the second wife. Miss, you really hit the spot. We're lucky." Bi Cao's eyes were sharp, and she cried out happily, Wan Qing hurriedly covered her mouth , let her watch in the bamboo forest, and carried the bucket to the back of the nunnery.

The carriage of the second room of the Gu family stopped in front of the nunnery. The second wife of Gu was dressed in a purple velvet brocade with a white fox fur hood and a hood. Gu Wanyan's daughter, Gu Wanyan, is only 14 years old. She looks elegant and refined, playful and lively.

Zhiren had already been waiting at the entrance of the nunnery, and when he saw Mrs. Gu coming down, she greeted her very graciously: "Amitabha, the sincerity of the second wife to the Buddha is so touching. Such bad weather is also coming up the mountain. In fact, as long as you have the Buddha's heart, you It is also possible to send someone close to you to pay respects to the Buddha on behalf of your wife."

"My disciple is sincere to the Buddha and dare not be lazy. Today is the birthday of the Bodhisattva. How dare you let others be lazy? You should come here to celebrate the birthday of the Bodhisattva." Mrs. Gu said gently, and the mother Fang beside her handed over a bank note. In Zhiren's hands, the smile on Zhiren's face became even more courteous and flattering.

"Hey, this is the second girl of your family, right? She looks so good, she's even more beautiful than a fairy girl in the sky. She's really a rare beauty." Zhiren got the silver ticket, and her mouth was as sweet as honey. .

Gu Wanyan's pretty face flushed slightly, she respectfully bowed to Zhiren, and followed Mrs. Gu into the main hall together, Zhiren couldn't help but praise her a few words of courtesy and generosity.
