Traveling to the ancient harem

There were two charcoal basins in the room, which made people feel inexplicably relaxed because of the warmth. Huang Ye and Hong Dou each sat on an armchair. Guan Zhen spoiled them and didn't say they were rude. After all, there was no outsider behind closed doors.

"Your uncle Lian Zhen was saved by my master. Something bad happened to her back then. She made a big mistake. It was a big deal at the time and her life was hanging by a thread. Because her mother had been sending offerings to the nunnery for many years, when her life was in danger, her mother asked Master to save her and take her in as a disciple."

Guan Zhen took a sip of hot tea and continued, "The nunnery has invested a lot of temple property in your master's ancestors (a nunnery is also called a nun's temple, so the property is also called temple property). Lian Zhen comes from a merchant family and is very capable in managing things. When the master was alive, she helped to handle these mundane affairs."

Guan Zhen sighed, "She originally thought that with her ability, she would be the next abbess, but who would have thought that the master would pass the position to me. I was actually confused at the time, and I asked the master."

"The master said, 'Even if it wasn't you, it would have been someone else. Lian is really not good enough. Although she is capable in general affairs, her six senses are not pure, her mind is narrow, and her vision is not enough. You will understand what this means in the future.'"

"Master is so wise." Huang Ye flattered him, "But, she is so arrogant that she will cause trouble sooner or later." Huang Ye was a little worried about her master.

"What if she usurps the throne and harms you?"

"It's very likely." Hongdou agreed very much.

"You kid." Guan Zhen looked at Huang Ye with amusement: "It's not the throne, why are you talking about usurping the throne?" She sighed again. Huang Ye felt that her master sighed a little too much.

"As you know, I come from a martial arts background, so I can handle swords and guns without any problem. But being the abbess is beyond my ability. So after Master passed away, she is still in charge of almost all matters in the nunnery."

"She was still very secretive before, but in recent years, she has become more open-minded. Since she manages the nunnery very well, I don't bother her too much."

"Master is wrong." Huang Ye was not afraid of the master's blame. "Human desires are endless. Some people are born evil. They will not be satisfied because of others' tolerance. Instead, they will think that others are blocking their way. Sometimes tolerance is a knife that will destroy oneself." Huang Ye was a little anxious, so he said a little too much. The master is too Buddhist. The resentment in Lian Zhen's eyes is so obvious that something will happen sooner or later.

Guan Zhen was a little surprised at Huang Ye's language ability, after all, she was still a six-year-old child. "Don't worry." She comforted Huang Ye: "She won't make a big fuss, it's just a small fight. If that day really comes, I won't show any mercy."

There were soft voices outside and someone knocked on the door. Lingyu opened the door a crack and a nun reported that they were ordered to come and clean the house. Seeing that the master didn't say anything, Lingyu closed the door and went out to check. Some things in the wing room also needed to be put back in place.

Huang Ye didn't say anything else. After thinking for a while, he asked Guan Zhen: "Master, can I take Uncle Jing Zhen as my teacher? I want to learn medicine from her."

"Your uncle Jingzhen!" Guanzhen thought for a long time before asking, "Why did you suddenly want to learn medicine?"

"I think since I live in the nunnery and my uncle knows medicine, if she can teach me, even if I only learn the basics, at least I don't need to see a doctor if I have a headache or fever, I can treat it myself." (Huang Ye didn't dare to tell her master, she thought it was cool to know medicine.)

Huang Ye looked at the master with sparkling eyes: "This can be considered as a skill. As the saying goes, it is always good to have many skills."

Guan Zhen wanted to laugh when he saw her anxious look: "Your uncle Jing Zhen's situation is a bit special. When Master brought her back, she didn't speak for more than half a year. Everyone thought she was dumb. After she learned to speak, she was very timid and didn't talk to others easily."

"She is still treating patients, so how can she not talk?" Hongdou asked what Huangye wanted to ask.

"It's not that she doesn't talk, she just doesn't talk much, except when she's treating patients. I should say she's very timid. Besides treating patients, she usually stays in her yard tinkering with medicinal herbs."

"Then if the disciple asks her to be his master, do you think she will agree?" Huang Ye felt that her uncle Jingzhen was also a man with a story, and people like him were usually difficult to talk to.

"That depends on your ability." Guan Zhen looked at Huang Ye meaningfully: "Your uncle Jing Zhen's medical skills are very famous, but no one knows that what she is best at is poison."

"Poison technique!" Fireworks exploded in Huang Ye's heart, and her eyes became brighter. Huang Ye thought that the world would be so beautiful if she could become a disciple of a master who knew poison technique. With poison technique at her disposal, she could walk freely in the world. Well, she would definitely become the disciple of this master.
