Did Miss become a nun today?

Xie Yun Chu set off back to Qingyun Nunnery that very day.

At the entrance of Prince Su's residence, everyone watched helplessly as the carriage drove away.

Shen Heng didn't say much, only glanced at Zhao Zhang before returning to her residence. Cen Jingyan sighed and followed her back.

Only Zhao Zhang and Pei Changfeng remained at the door.

Zhao Zhang snorted coldly, his gaze sweeping over the three men. "Useless trash."

Three people, and they couldn't even keep his daughter. They're so useless at such a young age. What can we expect them to do?

Zhao Zhang flicked his sleeve and chased them away.

The three of them stood at the door looking at each other, none of them saying a word, and then each went back to their own residence.

The next day, they met again on the way up the mountain.

"What a coincidence, you're here to offer incense too?" Wei Lin teased.

"Yes, I will believe in Buddhism from now on," Pei Changfeng said, not to be outdone.

"Pei Er, you should just give up. If your elder brother weren't still in jail, do you think you'd even have a chance to get close to her?"

Pei Changfeng chuckled, "Likewise. If your elder brother weren't away from the capital, what chance do you think you'd have?"

"However..." he gloated, "I heard that General Wei will be returning to the capital soon, your good days are coming to an end."

Meng Qi'an smiled but said nothing, and walked past the two of them up the mountain.

Xie Yunchu returned yesterday and immediately went back to her old life.

I still got up before dawn, and after getting everything ready, I walked towards the charity hall, stepping through the morning dew.

The grass along the mountain path was bent low by the dew, and she picked some as she passed by.

Tea brewed with autumn dew is the sweetest.

Hui Niang followed behind her, carrying two brooms, and yawned, "With your energy, even my senior sister who has been a nun for many years can't compare."

"I don't want to be idle; I'll do as much as I can."

Hui Niang sighed. "Are you still worried about your aunt?"

She shook her head. "No, I just enjoy working."

My aunt has recovered. Besides, just because she doesn't say anything doesn't mean she doesn't know. My aunt is clearly faking her illness.

She understood her aunt's good intentions, so she didn't say anything and stayed a few more days as she wished, considering it an act of filial piety.

After turning past the moss-covered stone wall, the outline of the charity hall became increasingly clear.

The larger window on the south side has been installed, and the window frame has been freshly painted, making it bright and airy when the sun shines through.

After looking around, I sat down on the threshold, feeling a sense of contentment welling up inside me.

From now on, I can eat and sleep here, and who knows, I might even be able to study and learn to read.

"Almost done." Hui Niang leaned the broom against the wall and sat down next to her. "Just tidy up a bit more, and once the stove is set up, it'll be ready to use."

Xie Yun Chu took out the booklet she had prepared and started writing and drawing in it.

"What are you doing now?"

She handed it to Hui Niang for a glance, "You want to set rules for the charity?"

"Yes." She nodded. "There will definitely be a lot of people here in the future, but we can't just sit around and do nothing. Since we've eaten at Qingyun Nunnery, we should naturally contribute to the nunnery. Otherwise, we'll become lazy over time."

Besides eating, we also have to work.

There is still a large area of ​​land behind Qingyun Temple that has not been cultivated. If you want to have enough to eat, you have to start farming so that it can last.

The two sat for a while, and the mountain breeze carried the scent of grass, trees, and earth, along with the sound of the temple bells.

She got up, dusted herself off, and continued working.

It wasn't until noon that he finally went home with his broom.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, a senior female student came to greet me.

The nunnery wants to change her accommodation.

"Why would you want to move to a different place?"

"This is unavoidable. You just got back and don't know yet, but recently the temple has received a lot of worshippers, and the guest quarters can't accommodate them all, so they have to use your rooms."

"I see. When are you moving?"

"today."

It didn't matter where she stayed, so Xie Yun Chu went back and packed her luggage.

The new courtyard is much farther away from the original dormitory. It is still a detached courtyard with three main rooms in the middle, one of which has been converted into a kitchen, and two side rooms on both sides.

There aren't many pilgrims coming and going here, and even the people from the temple rarely come here.

After moving to a new courtyard, she and Hui Niang lived separately, leaving her alone in the courtyard, which took her a while to adjust to.

I put down my luggage and was about to tidy up the yard when I suddenly heard footsteps outside.

Three men swaggered into the courtyard. Wei Lin threw down the bundle he was carrying and said, "This courtyard has been uninhabited for a long time, hasn't it? I'll help out."

Pei Changfeng brought a shovel from somewhere and started shoveling as soon as he came in. Even Meng Qi'an brought a hoe to weed her yard.

"You rest, we've got you covered. We'll take care of everything." Pei Changfeng said.

Xie Yun Chu was stunned for a while. After she came to her senses, the three of them went about their own business, keeping their heads down and not even having time to talk.

Xie Yun Chu suddenly had nothing to do, so she sat on the steps, propping her head up, unable to understand it at all.

Have these people lost their minds?

There were guards outside, and male guests were not allowed to enter the nunnery where the nuns lived. How did they get in?

In less than two hours, the yard was cleaned up. The flowers and vegetables were planted, and even the clutter on the wall was cleared away. There wasn't a single weed in the yard.

Pei Changfeng and Wei Lin wiped the sweat from their foreheads and looked at Xie Yun Chu with pleading expressions, seeking praise.

Meng Qi'an let out a heavy sigh. As a scholar, he was not as physically strong as the other two, and he leaned against the wall to catch his breath for a while.

Pei Changfeng scoffed, "I say, Editor Meng, you're so weak, you should pack up and go home. Don't cause trouble for Yun Chu."

Wei Lin chimed in, "That's right, we don't need that many people here, let's hurry up and leave."

The two exchanged sarcastic remarks, while Meng Qi'an stood in the corner without retaliating.

These two men have always been impolite when speaking to Meng Qi'an, both in the past and now.

Xie Yun Chu came into the house, poured him some water, and handed it to him. "Have some water."

Meng Qi'an was stunned for a moment, then took the bowl from her hand, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.

Thank you.

Pei Changfeng and Wei Lin on the other end turned pale the moment they saw it.

This Meng Qi'an is truly cunning; he even pretends to be pitiful.

He did the least work, yet he received a bowl of water from Yun Chu. Why?

Pei Changfeng immediately stepped forward, looking pitiful, "Yun Chu, I'm thirsty too."

"You two benefactors seem to be in good spirits, and you spoke with great vigor just now, so I suppose you don't need anything."

She looked indifferent, took back the bowl, and turned to go inside.

Later that day, she went to find the nun, only to be told that she was not at the nunnery.

"The nun has been invited to give a sermon and is not currently at the nunnery."

"Do you know when the nun will return?"

"I don't know."

Xie Yun Chu was somewhat disappointed. Did that mean her tonsure ceremony was also canceled?
