20. Invitation
Maybe everyone is thinking of attending the Dafa conference starting tomorrow, so it’s not easy to just hang out at that time - after all, the reason for coming to the nunnery is to burn incense, pray for blessings and listen to scriptures. It’s not okay to go out and play all day long.
Sincere.
Therefore, when Rong Qiaoyan finished her lunch and was about to go out, she got a message from Rong Shunhua's third-class maid Lianrui.
"Sixth Miss, the eldest lady said that she will start participating in the Dharma Assembly tomorrow. Therefore, I want to invite all the sisters to go to this nunnery this afternoon to see the scenery. I wonder if Sixth Miss can give me a favor?"
Because it was the bhikshuni from Cixin Nunnery who brought Lian Rui over, so in front of outsiders, Lian Rui bowed respectfully and asked.
Naturally, Rong Qiaoyan didn't want to go with the eldest lady and the others.
If they went together, she would definitely not be able to move freely and would not be able to look for the sixth sister-in-law at will.
Thinking of this, Rong Qiaoyan was about to refuse.
As a result, Bai Liu picked up the conversation from the side and said: "Our young lady is also about to go out for a walk. Are you thinking of the same place as the eldest lady?"
As soon as these words came out, Rong Qiaoyan's eyes shot towards Bai Liu like sharp arrows.
She was only afraid that the white willow would become a demon at home, but she didn't expect that the white willow could also become a demon in this nunnery.
Bai Liu felt a chill and couldn't help but shudder. She raised her head and looked around for the eyes that made her feel like a ray of light on her back.
The result was that it was not found.
Rong Qiaoyan had already turned her head, feeling secretly resentful in her heart, but she could only lower her head weakly and say with a smile: "Big sister invited me, so of course I will go."
A satisfied smile broke out on Lian Rui's face.
This time I came out to stay in a nunnery. Although the eldest lady is the legitimate daughter, she can't bring too many people.
Therefore, she was the only one among the third-class maids who took her on errands.
She just went to invite the second young lady and the third young lady.
Unexpectedly, the second lady refused directly, saying that the weather was too hot and she needed to rest.
These words made the eldest lady drop a tea bowl in anger.
When she replied, she wanted to shrink down.
When the eldest lady asked her to invite the weakest sixth lady with a cold face, she ran over quickly.
Fortunately, this sixth lady is quite obedient and will go as soon as she is told.
"Then Miss Sixth, please tidy up now, and my maid will take you there." Lianrui said with a smile.
"Are you going here?" Miaozhi asked in surprise.
Where is the logic that if you call someone immediately, you have to go immediately?
This woman needs to freshen up and dress up no matter what.
"Let's go. I have nothing to deal with." Rong Qiaoyan pressed Miaozhi's hand.
She was about to go out.
Besides, what's the point of wasting your time with a servant who can't make the decision?
Seeing this, Lian Rui sneered at Rong Qiaoyan's weakness.
Rong Qiaoyan didn't care either. She took Miaozhi and was about to leave the hospital with Lianrui and Bhikshuni.
As a result, Bai Liu chased after him nonchalantly, "Miss, will the maid follow you and wait on you?"
"There is still a lot of dust in this room. You can stay and clean it up. If you, a second-class person, don't wipe it, are you going to let Miaozhi, a first-class person, fail to wipe it?"
Rong Qiaoyan had no expression on her face, but she said coldly.
It was all her fault that Bai Liu, who was acting as a substitute, made it impossible for her to go to Sixth Sister-in-law immediately.
Bai Liu had already said that she wanted to go out for a walk, but she turned down the invitation from the eldest sister in the mansion and went for a walk by herself. She knew what kind of pressure she would receive after returning to the mansion.
Fortunately, although she did not know the specific time when Sister-in-law Six fell into the water, she heard from Sister-in-law Six's maid that the sun was not strong at that time and Sister-in-law Six was quite cold from being soaked in the water.
It will take at least four quarters before the sun is no longer poisonous.
It's not yet time, there should still be enough time.
Doesn't Bai Liu just want to please her eldest sister?
She didn't take her with her.
When Bai Liu heard Rong Qiaoyan's words, he looked at Lian Rui and others who were watching beside him, and had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Indeed, if the second-class maid is not allowed to do this cleaning work, should it be done by a first-class maid?
As for Aunt Yang, she is Miss Six's wet nurse and the manager of Xingruoyuan, so naturally she cannot do such a job.
Didn't you look at Nanny Yang and she just had lunch, and Miss Six arranged for her to take a nap?
As for the rude Mrs. Shi, she is not worthy of entering the lady's house.
Rong Qiaoyan turned around and her face darkened. Her mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about how to get to the Zhuoqing Pond as soon as possible.
"Sister, did you tell me where to go?" Rong Qiaoyan asked Lianrui thoughtfully as she walked.
"The eldest lady didn't say clearly where she was going. She just said that she wanted to listen to the opinions of a sister. However, the eldest lady asked Bhikshuni Zhike. The osmanthus flowers in the back mountain are blooming just right, but the hibiscus flowers in the front yard are also blooming well.
.”
When Lianrui saw Rong Qiaoyan giving face to the eldest lady, she was willing to say a few more words.
"Exactly. The hibiscus flowers in Xiao'an Zhuo Qingtang are blooming just right. The green hibiscus transplanted two years ago has also bloomed this year. This is a rare thing. If you are willing, donors can go and have a look."
The young bhikkhu who was leading the way saw them discussing the scenery of Cixin Temple and quickly started talking aside.
The little bhikkhu who was assigned to lead the way was not only handsome in appearance, but also spoke fluently.
This is also because I am afraid that those who do not understand etiquette and are clumsy in tongue will offend noble people.
"Zhuo Qingtang?" Rong Qiaoyan was about to bring the topic here, but the nun finally said it.
She couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
"Then the green hibiscus in Zhuoqingtang bloomed a little late." Rong Qiaoyan said with a smile.
Ordinary lotus flowers bloom in June, and some bloom as early as May. It’s almost August now.
"Exactly. After I moved this green hibiscus, I have been taking care of it for more than two years. It bloomed this year. Although it bloomed a little late, it is a beautiful sight in our nunnery."
Seeing the distinguished guest's interest, the young bhikkhu smiled and said a few more words.
Rong Qiaoyan became visibly interested in the green hibiscus.
Not only Miaozhi, who was always paying attention to Rong Qiaoyan, noticed it, but also the young bhikkhu and Lianrui.
Then, the little bhikkhu talked more and more about how rare the green hibiscus was.
When we arrived at the eldest lady's room, we saw that the third lady Rong Qiaopan, the fourth lady Rong Yaohua, and the fifth lady Rong Qiaorou were already there.
"Sisters, I have been waiting for a long time. It is true that the yard where I live is too remote."
Seeing everyone waiting for her, Rong Qiaoyan quickly saluted and apologized.
"My sisters don't have to be so polite. It doesn't matter if you wait. We were just discussing where to go."
The eldest lady Rong Shunhua said with a smile. There was no intention of blaming anyone else on their faces.
After all, everyone knows that Rong Qiaoyan's yard is far away, small, and dilapidated.
What's more, the eldest lady's maid was Rong Qiaoyan who was invited last.
"Then have the sisters discussed where to go? I just heard that little bhikkhu say that the green hibiscus is very rare."
