Traveling to the ancient harem

There is a new piece of news in the gossip circle in the capital recently. The pampered daughter of Minister Huang's family asked to go to the nunnery to fast and pray for her family. The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty attaches great importance to filial piety, so this incident made Huang Ye famous and became a good story for a while.

The invitation to the Changning Marquis's Mansion had not been sent out yet, and the family had already left. This made the people in the first house of the Marquis' Mansion feel relieved. This matter was finally over. The first lady was really afraid that the ruthless and trouble-making niece of the second house would cause trouble to the Marquis' Mansion again. In the second house, Xu Rou's room, the floor was covered with broken porcelain, which frightened the maids standing outside. They could only hear waves of curses coming from the room: "Huang Ziye, this bitch, made me lose face so much. She thought that she would be fine if she ran away. She wished, I will not let you go."

In fact, Xu Rou is a typical bully who only cares about the weak and fears the strong. Everyone knows what she did to Du Yue'e of the Marquis' Mansion. Isn't it shameful? She doesn't dare to cause trouble for the Du family because their family status is higher than hers. As for dealing with Huang Ye, she is just bullying the Huang family because their family status is not as good as hers.

Huang Ye was on her way from the capital to Fanjing Mountain. The Huang family sent out two blue oilcloth carriages. Master Guanzhen and the little nun Lingyu she brought with her took one carriage. When they came to Fuyun Temple, they begged for alms along the way, and they walked for almost half a year. This time, because the two children were too young to walk, the old lady wanted Huang Ye to sit in her luxurious carriage pulled by two horses, which would be more comfortable on the road. However, the old man knew that the road was not like that in the capital, and many lanes were very narrow, so the big carriage could not pass at all. No matter how much the old lady loved her granddaughter, she had no choice but to send out two small oilcloth carriages for the maids and servants to ride when they went out.

Huang Ye and Hong Dou were in a carriage, stopping and starting along the way, from the autumn in the capital city all the way to the winter in Fanjing Mountain. On a snowy afternoon, the two carriages stopped at the gate of the nunnery. They had arrived at Ciyu Nunnery.

Hongdou helped Huangye get off the carriage. They had suffered a lot on the way. The carriage was simple and they could only sit but not lie down. Their bones were stiff, and the weather was getting colder and colder. They were shivering even with the quilt wrapped around them in the carriage. But when it started to snow, Guanzhen let Hongdou and Lingyu ride in the same carriage. She took Huangye with her. When it was too cold on the road, she held Huangye in her arms to keep her warm and began to teach her the internal skills.

Huang Ye was smart and could memorize it after being taught just a few times. This made Guan Zhen more and more satisfied with this disciple. On the way, he began to teach Huang Ye to practice internal skills and taught her how to let the true energy flow throughout the body. The Tianshan School was good at internal skills. By the time they returned to the nunnery, Huang Ye had already mastered the internal skills.

Huang Ye looked up at the building with blue bricks and gray tiles. From now on, she would live here. The nunnery covers a large area and the walls are very high. Huang Ye thought that this should be to prevent bad guys from sneaking into the nunnery. The red painted door was closed tightly. It should be that the door would not be opened unless someone knocked on it.

Huang Ye first walked up to the coachman, took out several letters that had been written in advance from her arms and handed them to the coachman, one for each person in the family.

The nunnery does not allow male guests, so the two carriages must rush to the village at the foot of the mountain and settle down as soon as possible while there is no snow on the road. Huang Ye took out a bag of small change and gave it to the coachmen, reminding them to be careful on the way back and not to rush. In some places, the mountains are closed due to heavy snow and they can stay in a hotel if they cannot leave. Don't force yourself to travel and don't be afraid to spend money, as human life is more important than anything else.

The two drivers were moved and nodded repeatedly, greeted the nun, and then drove down the mountain.

Lingyu had already knocked on the gate. The two doors opened, and Huangye and Hongdou followed the nun and the others in through the gate. After passing through a long corridor, they saw several nuns wearing nun hats coming from the opposite corridor.

The leader was a middle-aged nun. She walked up to Guanzhen, put her hands together and performed a Buddhist salute: "Welcome back, Abbot." The nuns who followed behind her all put their hands together and chanted Buddhist names.

Guanzhen returned a Buddhist greeting, then nodded, and walked in front with Huang Ye, passing through several corridors and arriving at the courtyard where Guanzhen lived. The courtyard was not big, and there were a few clumps of green bamboo planted against the wall, making the courtyard look very elegant. The main hall was the meeting place, the left wing was where she lived, and there was a small abbot's room in the right wing for her daily worship of Buddha.

"Come in." Guanzhen pushed open the door of the front hall and invited everyone in. The hall was very clean, and it seemed that someone had been cleaning it. The wind blew in from the door, making it seem even colder here. Lingyu asked people to quickly put up two pots of charcoal fire, otherwise people would not be able to sit still.
