Did Miss become a nun today?

Xie Yun Chu hasn't had time to read lately.

Besides making incense, he also received a message from Zhao Mingyue, inviting her to watch a polo match at the training ground outside the city.

When the invitation arrived, she happened to be in the main courtyard. Upon hearing it, Cen Jingyan agreed without waiting for her to speak.

"Go and tell Miss Zhao that Yun Chu will definitely go."

"Aunt, aren't you going to ask for my opinion?"

"What's your opinion?"

"Haven't you always had a good relationship with Miss Zhao? Aren't you going to accept her invitation?"

Cen Jingyan is now afraid that she is so focused on the scriptures that she really doesn't care about anything else.

Having good friends is a good thing. As long as you are willing to go out and see the world, you will have thoughts and desires in your heart, and you will always feel attached to it, so you will not want to recite Buddhist scriptures anymore.

She hadn't intended to refuse Zhao Mingyue's post; she just wanted to chant Buddhist scriptures, it wasn't like she was going to die.

Zhao Mingyue said in her letter that she was going horseback riding, so Xie Yunchu even went out of his way to buy riding gear.

"Miss is beautiful and has a great figure; she looks good in anything." Lan Yue smiled, her eyes narrowing.

"You mentioned last time that you wanted to go horseback riding, but unfortunately you never had the chance. This time you can finally go and see for yourself."

Yes, last time she said she wanted to ride a horse, but the horses in the Marquis's mansion were all too tall and not suitable for her.

Not daring to bother others, she insisted that her second cousin accompany her horseback riding, but he refused, either because he was too busy or because he found it tiring. He always made her wait, and they never went.

"Miss Mingyue is the best. She always thinks of you when there's something good."

Xie Yun Chu looked at herself in the mirror. "Didn't you always side with your second cousin before?"

Pei Changfeng disliked Zhao Mingyue for being vulgar, while Zhao Mingyue disliked Pei Changfeng for being arrogant; in short, the two did not get along.

Lan Yue, being a member of the Marquis's household, naturally sided with her master, but today she changed her tune.

"I am now your servant, Miss. Whoever is good to you, I will be good to them."

Just then, Qingluo came in to report, "Miss, Sui'er has arrived."

Xie Yun Chu's expression brightened. "Quickly, let them in."

As soon as Sui'er entered Shifang Courtyard, her small figure rushed over and hugged her leg, "Fairy Sister, I missed you so much."

Xie Yun Chu patted her head and quickly asked Lan Yue to bring up the newly made pastries. "I missed you too."

After making sure Sui'er was full, she asked, "I remember your home is near Baiyang Mountain, which isn't close to the capital. How did you get here?"

"My older brother brought me here," Sui'er mumbled after eating a mouthful of pastries.

"Your older brother is here too? Where is he?"

"He's outside. My elder brother said that since he's a man, he shouldn't come into the mansion, so he's waiting outside." He ate too fast and almost choked.

Lan Yue poured her some water. "Eat slowly, no one will take it from you."

Sui'er suddenly remembered what her older brother had told her, so she quickly drank some water and stopped eating.

Xie Yun Chu was charmed by her adorable appearance and pinched her cheek. "It's alright, don't be nervous here. Eat as much as you want, there's plenty."

Sui'er refused to eat anymore and told her a lot about what had happened at home recently.

"Fairy Sister, my father is cured, and the vegetables in our garden have sprouted. My father even said that he wants to invite you to our home for a visit sometime."

The little girl swung her legs, her eyes bright, and clung tightly to her arm.

"My dad delivers vegetables every day now, and my older brother writes letters for people, earning several coins a day."

"Sui'er can eat steamed buns every day now."

Xie Yun Chu really liked Sui'er. She was cute and sensible. She had suffered so much but never complained and was still so cheerful, which was truly remarkable.

After the two talked for a while, someone from the main courtyard arrived.

Knowing that guests had come to her courtyard, her aunt sent Granny Sun to deliver gifts.

"Madam said that the countryside has its own advantages. If Miss is bored at home, it would be good for her to go out for a walk. Just bring some people with you."

Xie Yun Chu sighed helplessly; that's not what they used to say.

In the past, when she wanted to leave the manor, her aunt was afraid that she would encounter danger and always refused, insisting that her second cousin accompany her before she would go out.

She said that reciting Buddhist scriptures is beneficial, right?

It's easy to leave the mansion now.

She did want to visit Sui'er's home. She thanked Granny Sun and let Sui'er stay at the Marquis's residence for one night. She asked Lan Yue to give her elder brother a few taels of silver to stay at an inn. The next morning, she prepared a carriage to leave.

As soon as the door opened, the boy waiting outside immediately stood up and bowed to her.

Look at those dark circles under his eyes, did he wait outside all night?

"Didn't I tell you to stay at an inn?"

Chen Yan was a little embarrassed, "How can a poor family stay in an inn? The entrance to the Marquis's mansion is clean and tidy, and it's summer, so it's fine."

Chen Yan was a thin boy, not short, but pale and thin, and not particularly good-looking.

When she got into the carriage, he even squatted down so she could step on his back to get on...

Even Lan Yue was amused by him. "Young Master Chen, my young lady doesn't care about these things. Please get in the car."

Chen Yan was taken aback, and immediately blushed.

She glanced at her younger sister and covered her mouth to stifle a laugh.

He sighed helplessly. He knew that his younger sister had become acquainted with the young lady of the Marquis's mansion. He was afraid that she was too young and would offend someone of high status, so he wanted to help her make amends. But he was just being laughed at.

That heartless little brat.

The carriage left the capital and headed towards Baiyang Mountain.

Baiyang Mountain is already outside the capital city limits; it would take a whole day to travel there by horse-drawn carriage. When Sui'er came, she traveled by oxcart, and they had to spend the night on the road.

"It was my oversight that made you come to me. I forgot it's not easy for you to come all the way to the city. You must be exhausted."

Sui'er leaned against her and shook her head, "Sui'er not only took a nice bath last night, but also slept in the fairy sister's bed, so I'm not tired at all."

Last night, the bed smelled nice and was soft, just like my sister's. It was so comfortable.

She had never slept on such a soft bed in her entire life.

There weren't many people in Dashu Village. Most of them were people who had fled here over the years and gradually settled down, so they didn't attract much attention from others at the time.

Sui'er's father was out delivering groceries, so Chen Yan was busy taking care of her.

"My home is simple, please don't mind, Miss Xie."

"It's alright."

Buddhism emphasizes the absence of emotion but the presence of sexuality, and cherishes nature.

Having grown accustomed to city life, this rural area feels surprisingly welcoming.

The environment here is similar to that of Qingyun Temple, with lush greenery everywhere, scattered houses, and wisps of smoke rising into the air, creating a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere.

In the future, after she leaves the Marquis's mansion, perhaps she can consider moving to a place with beautiful scenery, getting up at cockcrow every day, planting crops, chanting scriptures, and finally stepping into the Qingyun Nunnery.

Sui'er helped her brother pour her water and pulled her to look at the chickens she raised. The hen laid an egg and proudly showed it to her, saying, "Sister, look, I picked this up."

"Sui'er is great."

Xie Yun Chu wandered around the yard and saw the unfinished ground behind the house, and her hands started itching to do something.

Qingyun Nunnery is self-sufficient, and everyone in the nunnery knows how to farm. She even went to observe last time, but without hands-on experience, it's just theory.

He tied his sleeves, picked up the hoe, and, imitating what she had seen him do last time, began to dig into the ground.

"Miss, what are you doing?"

As soon as Lan Yue took the gifts out of the carriage, she saw the young lady standing in the ground, her skirt all dirty, digging the ground with a hoe.

Hearing the noise, Chen Yan ran out and, startled, quickly snatched the hoe from her hand.

"Miss Xie, how could we let you do such a thing?" She then turned to her younger sister, "Sui'er, why didn't you stop her?"

Sui'er pouted, looking a little aggrieved. Xie Yun Chu shielded her behind her, saying, "It was my idea to try, it has nothing to do with Sui'er."

After saying that, he snatched the hoe back.

She's going to spend her whole life at Qingyun Nunnery, so she has to master farming skills. She wouldn't dare to do it normally, but now that she finally has the chance, she has to practice.

She looked at Lan Yue, and although she didn't say anything, Lan Yue understood that her mistress was warning her.

She was warned not to talk about it when she got back.
