Lianxi Nunnery is a well-known local nunnery. It is called Lianxi Nunnery because it is located next to a large lotus pond. In late autumn, the lotus pond is full of dead branches and leaves, and a few remaining lotus roots look lonely.
In the upper reaches of the lotus pond, there are nuns carrying water, carrying two wooden barrels through it.
When Mrs. Fu saw her daughter leaning against the car window to look outside, she allowed her to do so. Because of herself, her daughter rarely went out. Children are always happy when going out, so she didn't stop her.
Why Liu Chengxu takes this case so seriously? Firstly, it is because the missing nun is the responsibility of the government, and secondly, it is also because there is a female crown living in Lianxi Nunnery.
Although this female crown prince is anonymous, she actually has a lot of background.
Liu Chengxu introduced to young Fu in a low voice: "Chi Nuguan was originally the unmarried daughter-in-law of Prince Jing's eldest son. Her natal family was the Earl's Palace, and her cousin was the current empress. Prince Jing was the late emperor's most trusted younger brother and his wife. Minister Gu Ming, when Prince Jing's eldest son died of illness, Chi Nuguan insisted on staying as a widow. Prince Jing refused and asked people to persuade her, but in the end she couldn't get over it. Now, Prince Jing has passed away long ago, and the last person to take the throne in Prince Jing's palace is his. The youngest son. The Chi family took her back. In the past few years, they heard that her parents had passed away, so they have been practicing here."
"Why practice in Jiujiang? Jiujiang is not a big place." Little Fu felt strange.
Liu Chengxu said: "Because Chi Nu Guan's family is from here, and I heard that she has lived here for several years since she was a child."
This is the difference between the children of officials and the children of the Han family. The Liu family has been officials for generations, and his father was the commander of the Imperial Guard. When he went to court, he stood at the top of the military attache list.
Therefore, Liu Chengxu came from a well-educated family and was familiar with officialdom and worldliness.
Xiao Fu originally just wanted to help Liu Chengxu and consolidate his position, but now he took a look at his daughter. If he could make his daughter and Chi Nuguan fall in love, there would be another way.
Lishu seemed to have a clear understanding, and she could think of her mother's intentions.
Sure enough, when entering Lianxi Nunnery, little Fu prepared gifts first and then took Lishu to see Chi Nuguan. The nunnery is still open to outsiders as usual, and the incense here is very prosperous. If the government wants to find the reason for the disappearance, of course it cannot seal the place. Otherwise, if the culprit knew about it, he would have run away long ago, and there would be no way to catch the real culprit.
Lishu was not very enthusiastic about this. She did not think that a woman should remain a widow for her husband's family. Although it was voluntary, it also showed that she was pedantic. Of course, there is also a saying that remarrying may not be a good idea, but how can you know if you don’t try?
In the previous life, the old King Wusun passed away, and they, the old king's concubines, were about to be taken over by the old king's son, the new king. Some people felt that human relations were hindered, and even hanged themselves to death, but Li Shu survived tenaciously.
Chi Nuguan lived in a quiet little courtyard. The rules were very strict, and people spread the news inside and outside. After a while, a servant wearing green clothes and his hair tied with a wooden hairpin came out and led them in.
Li Shu glanced at this servant, who was dressed very plainly, in line with the standards of a widowed person.
The courtyard is very simple, with only one old locust tree. The sweet-scented osmanthus has withered, but there still seems to be lingering fragrance in the air. There is a well next to the locust tree.
The room is also very simple, with a bed, a table, a Buddhist niche, a plate of soy beans and a bowl of rice on the table.
The servant in green clothes said: "Master Tai, Mrs. Liu is here."
Only then did someone slowly come out of the second room. She was wearing brown bhikshuni clothes. She still had her hair, which was already a little gray, and she was very thin. Li Shu knew that her age was actually only about the same as Liu Chengxu's. She looked in her thirties, but her skin was all broken down and her whole body was dark.
Young Master Fu saluted and explained his purpose: "I heard that several nuns were missing in the nunnery. My master asked me to draw portraits so that the culprits can be found quickly. If I have disturbed Master Taiqingxiu, please forgive me. indivual."
After hearing this, Chi Nuguan's expression did not fluctuate much and she nodded slightly.
Li Shu thought that this Chi Nu crown was just like the ancient well tree at the door of her yard, without any ripples. Most of the time, my mother wanted to establish a relationship and move around a bit, but seeing that Chi Nu was in such a bad mood, she didn't want to stay for long.
After all this hard work, the sky had darkened, and little Fu was feeling a little tired.
But she still told Li Shu: "You can only walk around in the yard, and you can't go out at will. Otherwise, be careful that the flower photographers will slap you away."
Li Shu pouted: "Then you still want to live in this nunnery, why don't you allow dad to live in a nearby house? Aren't you afraid?" She was craving for braised pork. Although the vegetarian food here was delicious, it didn't have much oil or water. I got hungry after a while and didn’t have any snacks to eat.
"Silly girl, I didn't do it for you, but it's a pity that Chi Nu Guan is too difficult to get close to." Little Fu's goal was shattered, but she was not discouraged. If her husband solved the case, he might go to heaven to hear it. After all, Chi Nuguan is the queen's cousin and a senior official in her family.
Lishu didn't expect that she would stay there just for her own sake, so she climbed into bed quickly and didn't let her mother worry.
"Good mother, I will sleep well."
Little Fu put down the mosquito net and couldn't wait to share it with her daughter. She whispered: "Silly Niuniu, your father is guarding us on the hillside where we live. If I blow the whistle, he will come over, so we Don’t be afraid.”
I don’t know why, but my daughter has become a lot more sensible. Sometimes little Fu will talk about her secret little joys.
Sure enough, Li Shu was also surprised: "Daddy, are you going to keep us company all night?"
Seeing her mother nodding, Li Shu sighed: "Daddy is so kind to you."
"Yes~" Mrs. Fu recalled that when she got married, her husband rejected her very much, but he couldn't help but fall in love with her. At that time, they were really in love.
Probably with her father as her protector, Li Shu actually fell asleep quickly in a strange place. When she even woke up, there were several people sitting in front of little Fu, describing the appearance and characteristics of the missing bhikshuni.
Li Shu took advantage of her free time to bring water to her mother. What she could do now was limited. Her father was the one who decided the case, and her mother was the one who painted. If it weren't for her mother, Li Shu wouldn't know what was happening outside!
Little did she know how grateful Mrs. Fu was to her daughter. If it weren't for her daughter, her talents would not be valued by her husband, exposing conspiracies and wrongful cases.
When Mr. Fu drew these five pictures, even the host here was shocked: "Mrs. Liu, you have never met them, but you can draw them so vividly that they look like real people."
After Lian Chi Nuguan learned about this, she actually came over in person. Little Fu was surprised and said, "I don't know if you are coming, you are really missing the mark."
Chi Nuguan waved her hand: "Mrs. Liu, it's my fault. I see that you have never seen a real person, and you can draw such a lifelike picture. I want you to help me draw a picture too."
"This..." Little Fu didn't expect that she really wanted to plant flowers but not bloom, but had no intention of planting willows to create shade.
Chi Nuguan thought she was asking for Qiao, so she actually begged: "Mrs. Liu, if you help me draw this painting, I can promise you something."
Little Fu glanced at her daughter. She didn't have anything to worry about. Her biggest concern was her daughter.
"It's my honor to paint for you, no matter the conditions. It's just that this little girl in my family is smart, but her rules are loose, and I'm pregnant. If possible, it would be great if you could recommend a nanny to discipline her. , after all, she has to go back to visit her grandmother next year, so I’m afraid she won’t behave herself.”
Chi Nuguan herself had lived in the palace for several years. Her cousin was a queen, and her family had a very close relationship with the royal family. It was really a small matter to send a nanny like this.
She even said: "As long as you draw it, these are small things."
Mrs. Fu was so happy that she even pinched her daughter's little face, feeling very happy. These things were trivial to others, but to them, mother and daughter, they were great joys.
The person Chi Nuguan wants to paint is her late fiancé. Even though that person has been dead for more than ten years, she still remembers it clearly. Only at this time does her expression change: "The first time I saw him, We hadn't gotten engaged at that time, and I had just come back from my aunt's house. He came over on a bay-red horse, holding a silver gun, majestic and magnificent. But when he saw the charcoal seller who fell next to him, he thought again. Jump down and help him up..."
Li Shu held her head and listened to Chi Nuguan's explanation. She probably knew why she refused to remarry no matter what. It was probably because she couldn't meet anyone who was too stunning when she was young, otherwise she would not be able to spend the rest of her life peacefully.
Ke Lishu seemed to find it difficult to understand this kind of emotion. She had met a very outstanding man in her previous life, and that man was once her fiancé, but after the marriage was annulled, she no longer thought about it.
Her life is always looking forward, not because she is cold and heartless, but because she feels it is not worth it.
Chi Nuguan was very satisfied with Xiao Fu's painting, and she even cried bitterly while holding the painting, but from then on she also had sustenance for this painting.
At this time, Xiao Fu had already taken Li Shu and was preparing to return.
"Chi Nuguan has promised my mother that after the new year is over, I will give you a nanny. You will learn the rules and skills in the future." Little Fu looked at her daughter lovingly.
Li Shu also thought that she and her mother were helping each other and thinking about each other.
