Chapter 103 Mint

Outside the temple gate in the distance, the tripped nun immediately got up from the ground, and from his actions, he was already furious!

She rushed up and waved her hand to slap Xiaoni in the face, but failed to hit her, and Xiaoni grabbed her hand.

Just then, the small door opened, and a teacher and a few people walked out.As soon as Xiao Ni let go, she was immediately slapped by the nun just now. Xiao Ni stood there with her face covering her hands.

The fight ended quickly, and Zhu Gaoxu couldn't hear clearly what the group of people stood there and said.Seeing that many people came, he also moved away from the window a little further than he could see.

Zhu Gaoxu could guess that the group of people must be scolding Xiao Ni. After all, in the temple, there are differences in generations and superiors and inferiors.It is quite difficult for Xiao Ni to dare to fight against the elderly.

After a long time, the group entered the small gate of the temple, and Xiao Ni continued to wash the toilet there.

Zhu Gaoxu had nothing to do for a moment, so he still watched her doing some trivial things in the attic, and watched from time to time the situation at the foot of Jilong Mountain.

At this time, Du Qianrui brought a cup of tea to the pavilion. Zhu Gaoxu immediately smelled a mint smell and heard Du Qianrui say: I didn’t find the tea. Seeing that there were a few mint plants planted in the yard, I picked it and washed it and made the tea. The young master had to drink it.

Anyway, you won’t have to do too many things.We just arrived here, so you can take a break.Zhu Gaoxu said.

Du Qianrui whispered: I can’t help with the young master’s big things, so I have to do some small things, which I should do.

She came from the Jiaofangsi and was good at singing and she really had a good voice.Zhu Gaoxu is still very willing to talk to Du Qianrui. What he says doesn’t matter, and listening to the sound can make people feel more comfortable.

Zhu Gaoxu said again: Miss Du follows me, and it’s true that there are only a few comfortable days and they are all on the road.

Du Qianrui lowered her head and murmured: It's better than being at home. I can't stay in my hometown anymore. Before the young master came, I was always depressed and worried all day long.Once my father scolded me and said that the dog doesn’t even bother with poverty... After leaving, I thought about my mother again and dreamed of her last night.

Miss Du has been in the capital for many years. How can she compare with your mother?Lingtang can stay in the village because she has never seen a bigger world. As long as people don’t know what it looks like outside, they won’t think too much.Zhu Gaoxu said casually, Miss Du has seen the world and may not be able to go back.Lingzun shouldn’t blame you. Isn’t it human nature to think about living a better life?

Du Qianrui listened with her ears. When Zhu Gaoxu finished speaking, she said softly, "Listen to the young master, you can always make yourself feel better."

Zhu Gaoxu said: So is me.

Du Qianrui's cheeks suddenly turned red.

...Before the hour of You, Zheng He, Wang Bin and Wei Da came back and brought back some rice and vegetables. There was no seasoning, only salt.Du Qianrui was busy cooking and cleaning up the bedding that was dried in the yard.

Zhu Gaoxu called others into the house and asked where he would be inquiring about today.He asked in detail the places he screened Zheng He and others.

Several people didn't finish their business until late at night. At this time, Du Qianrui had already prepared the food and boiled the washing water.

They walked to a square wooden table, and Zhu Gaoxu immediately swallowed his saliva and his stomach was also rumbling.

There was almost no seasoning, but the food on the table looked very good, which immediately increased his appetite.

The braised pork that Wang Bin and others brought back was cut into thin slices of meat and placed on two white porcelain plates, like petals, and mint green leaves were dotted in the middle, making the color richer.

The lettuce and braised pork were stewed into a large bowl. The lettuce leaves were soaked in salt water for several hours, placed on a plate, and it was very delicious when you saw it.

At this time, Wang Bin praised: Miss Du has good craftsmanship!Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said: You are lucky. I usually don’t treat people when I cook and cook the foods that Miss Du usually cooks.

Wang Bin, Veda and others immediately laughed a few times.

Du Qianrui smiled and said: I'll serve rice for you.

Everyone was hungry, so they ate the food on the table, and they chewed it in the room for a while.

Soon, a meow... cries came from the door. When Zhu Gaoxu looked back, he saw a big yellow cat looking at the table.

Wang Bin said: I will deliver a meat dish to my door!

Zhu Gaoxu stopped and said: Look at its hair is quite clean, it must be raised by any family around it, so there will be no branches outside.

After dinner, everyone discussed arranging the room, so they washed and rested.Zhu Gaoxu took a mat and bedding in the attic, and agreed that the four of them would take turns to go upstairs to watch.

...The next morning, the three of them continued to go out to do business, and Zhu Gaoxu and Du Qianrui remained in the mansion.

More than one or two people in the capital knew Zhu Gaoxu. In addition to the royal family and nobles, they also met Zhu Gaoxu many times in the mansion, guarding the prince and others.

When Zhu Gaoxu arrived at the capital, he tried his best to avoid showing up in crowded places.

There are important things to do every day, but at this moment, because he rarely goes out, he has nothing to do all day.Apart from thinking, I can only wait.

He saw the little nun working in the temple yard yesterday, and she might be living west of the temple.

Zhu Gaoxu was not interested in her at first, but there was nothing to see around him. Somehow he often paid attention to what the little nun was doing.

The little nun was cleaning the yard for a while and washing a lot of clothes for a while.Sometimes she can't be seen, but she will soon appear in Zhu Gaoxu's sight again.

He hadn't observed a person for so long and did so many boring trivial matters. If he had to stay in this secluded attic, he wouldn't have observed a nun with no connection.

Today, the little nun is being bullied again, which seems to be the daily activity of nuns in the temple.

Xiao Ni was kicked while washing clothes, and his hand was crushed by his shoes. Even Zhu Gaoxu here could hear the screams.

That little Ni was also miserable. The more she fought against the powerful people in the temple, the more she was bullied.

Soon, Zhu Gaoxu saw her running out of the small door to the west of the temple, thinking she was going to find a place outside to cry, but she didn't.

She came out with a bucket, took another basin of clothes outside, put the clothes in the bucket into the bucket, and washed the clothes again, as if nothing had happened in the temple just now.

The distance was a bit far, and Zhu Gaoxu never saw the appearance of the little nun very clearly, but judging from her figure and behavior, she should be pretty good, not to mention that her skin was dazzlingly white under the sun. He guessed that Xiao Ni must be an outstanding person in the temple.

But I have no idea why she became a monk and a nun at a young age, and even chose a temple that was often bullied.

Zheng He and others did not come back at noon, and Zhu Gaoxu and Du Qianrui had lunch, so the food was naturally made by Du Qianrui.

The yellow cat came again last night, and looked at the dining table and called out a few times... I didn't feed it last night, but it ran in again when it smelled the smell, very persistent.

The fence of this yard and even the doors and windows of the house cannot stop the cat. Even if the doors and windows are closed, it can still get in from the roof of the tile.

As of the afternoon, Zhu Gaoxu was staying in the attic, thinking while observing the scene outside.

At this time, the little Ni walked out of the temple courtyard. She didn't hold anything in her hand and walked down a small path on the hillside.

Not long after, Xiao Ni heard him call: Little yellow cat, Mimi... She called and looked around.

Zhu Gaoxu immediately remembered that the yellow cat he saw during dinner seemed to be raised by Jiming Temple!

When he looked back, the cat was just looking up on the wooden stairs, but he didn't know if he heard Xiao Ni call him. Anyway, he ignored him at all. He was only very interested in the snacks on Zhu Gaoxu's table.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't think much about it, so he picked up a piece of snack, bent down and placed it on the ground, and called out: Little Yellow Cat...

The cat walked over slowly, screamed in a meow, and then pounced on the snack.

Zhu Gaoxu bent over, his eyes were fast and his hands were quick. He reached out and held the cat. He struggled and scratched his claws a few times, but Zhu Gaoxu immediately changed his hand and pressed his neck.

Zhu Gaoxu picked up the cat, stood up and looked out the window, but he could not find the little nun for a moment.After a while, she saw that she had already walked to the street selling incense and candles on the hillside.

After hesitating for a moment when Zhu Gaoxu walked down the pavilion, took a big hat and put it on, and greeted Du Qianrui: I will be back soon after going out for an incense stick.

Du Qianrui nodded and responded, looking at the cat in his arms.

When Zhu Gaoxu went out, he found an alley with moss on the surrounding walls and old stone slabs on the ground.

The weather is clear, but the road is easy to walk.

There was no one in the alley, and the trees in the walls on both sides blocked the sun, making the road feel even more quiet.

He walked along the alley from the way he came in yesterday, turned twice, and then walked to the entrance of the alley.

Outside the entrance of the alley is the long street selling incense and candles.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't walk out, so he lowered his hat to cover his face, and stood there waiting with the cat in his arms.

Judging from the speed of Xiao Ni's walking and the distance she got here, she probably hadn't reached the entrance of the alley here yet.

Sure enough, after a while, I saw her coming.Meow... The yellow cat screamed, and Xiao Ni immediately turned around and saw the cat in Zhu Gaoxu's arms. She stood for a moment and walked towards her.

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned and almost let the cat in his arms run away!

In this old street and alley, there were lifeless incense candles piled up in the shops, and ashes filled the air. Zhu Gaoxu seemed to see dust blowing away from the messy corners, and a bright pearl was in the rotten wood.

I can't believe that such a beautiful nun would appear in this place.

Even though she was wearing a monk's robe and bare head, she still couldn't destroy the bright pure color of red lips and white teeth on her face.

The sunlight drooping westward through the old street and fell on her face, with satin-like skin shining, very shiny.

Her appearance was incompatible with the surrounding scenery.

Zhu Gaoxu could not feel the depression and simplicity of the ancient Buddha of Qinglan. Xiao Ni was vivid and energetic, which suddenly made the scenery of spring a little more wonderful.
