Chu Ci was still sleeping in bed when Chunhua's urging voice rang out beside him, "Master, Master, get up. Don't you have to go burn incense today?"
Chu Ci waved his hands without even opening his eyes, "You go by yourself, I don't want to go. It's so early and I haven't woken up yet."
Chu Ci turned over, covered himself completely in the quilt and continued to sleep.
Chunhua looked outside. It was still dark and early. If she could squeeze in, the master could still get some sleep. "Okay, master, you can sleep for a while. I'll go prepare things. But when I call you again, you must get up quickly."
Chu Ci didn't know who was talking or what was said. He just said "yes" simply and continued to fall asleep.
When Chunhua had prepared everything, she went to call Chuci to get up. Chuci was still in a daze.
Chunhua didn't care about anything else. She simply cleaned her master's face with a handkerchief and then washed it a little.
Chu Ci was very resistant at first, but there was no other way. Chun Hua had to use force. While wiping her face, she said, "Master, there is really no time. We are about to leave. If you don't get up, things will get serious."
Chu Ci then slowly opened her eyes, changed into a full white dress, and simply tied her black hair with a wooden hairpin, as a sign of respect for life.
By the time Chu Ci had packed everything and arrived in front of the carriage, the Marquis's wife was already standing in front of the carriage, waiting impatiently.
Seeing Chu Ci coming out late, he stepped forward and started to scold, "Chu Ci, don't you see what time it is? You went to burn incense, why did you take so long to come out? You also made your elders wait outside for so long. Where are your rules?"
Chu Ci walked up to the Marquis' wife, bowed slightly, and lowered her eyebrows. "Mother, it's my fault. I won't do it again."
The Marquis's wife wanted to scold a few more times, but Nanny Li beside her secretly gave her a look and glanced around. Seeing that there were people everywhere, the Marquis's wife didn't say anything more. She just snorted coldly and turned to get into the car.
Chunhua supported Chu Ci and got on another carriage.
In the carriage, Chunhua said nothing, lowered her eyes, and tears just flowed down her face. She felt sorry for the young lady. It was obvious that the young lady was much better than the second young lady in terms of appearance, talent and character, but for some reason, both the master and the mistress did not like the young lady.
No, if the master says he doesn't like it, then the lady is openly disgusted.
Chu Ci sensed Chunhua's sadness, smiled indifferently, and patted her shoulder. "Some people and some things may not be destined to be ours, but we still have each other."
Chunhua wiped away her tears and forced a smile, "Okay, Master still has me. I will not leave you even if I have to sacrifice my life."
Along the way, Chu Ci leaned lazily on the carriage, watching the figures flashing quickly outside the window. Chu Ci was actually very sad in her heart. She didn't know why all this happened.
They soon arrived at the temple gate, and Chu Ci helped the little maid get off the carriage.
Standing firmly, a picture of green trees in the mountains comes into view.
Before entering the temple, looking at the green trees, flowers and plants in the mountains, I felt a lot better. Even my breathing became smoother. The melancholy I had just felt disappeared in an instant.
"Master, this place is so beautiful. It feels like entering a fairyland. If this is the case, then the master will really become a fairy."
Chu Ci smiled faintly and said nothing.
The Marquis's wife glanced at the master and servant impatiently, "Come over here quickly. What are you two doing standing there? Why are you so fussy?"
There were people all around, and unfortunately for the Marquis' wife, everyone's eyes were all on Chu Ci, and gossip was heard one after another.
Seeing this, Chunhua wanted to step forward to explain, but Chuci pulled her back and shook his head, "Forget it, we are all human, let's hurry up."
The two men walked quickly to the Marquis's wife, bowed their heads and smiled, "Mother, this is all our fault. We were a little slow getting off the carriage. Please excuse me for waiting for us."
Almost instantly, the wind direction changed.
"This is my mother. I didn't do it on purpose. I just came down a little late, and she actually started scolding me outside.
"That's right, it seems that this young lady's status in the Marquis' Mansion is really low, and she is really not favored!"
"Your news is really outdated. I heard a while ago that the second daughter of the Marquis's family became a concubine, and her dowry was much richer than that of the eldest daughter of the Marquis's family."
Everyone was talking at once, and soon the originally quiet temple entrance became bustling with activity.
The Marquis’ wife angrily threw her handkerchief, snorted coldly, and went straight into the temple.
Chu Ci held Chunhua's hand, lowered her head, and took small steps to chase the Marquis's wife.
Chu Ci entered the temple and saw the Marquis’ wife holding a wooden box in her arms and talking to a young master not far away.
She was about to step forward when Nanny Li suddenly appeared and stopped her, "Miss, Madam is talking to the young master right now. Madam said there are too many people, so we should stay in the temple for one night and leave tomorrow."
Chu Ci looked at the huge crowd outside and thought that this was normal.
Burning incense requires a certain time, but now there are so many people here, if we queue up, we don’t know how long it will take. Obviously, staying here for one night and reciting scriptures during the day is the best choice.
Looking at the wooden box tightly held in the mother's hands, the cook suddenly understood what she meant. She must want to accumulate more blessings for this unborn life!
Chu Ci nodded, "Okay, I understand. You should go take care of mother first."
Nanny Li stepped aside, and a little monk appeared in front of Chu Ci. "Young lady, I will take you to the room I have arranged for you."
Seeing that everything was arranged, Nanny Li turned around and left. However, the faint smile on the corner of her mouth made Chu Ci alert.
Is this temple really so peaceful?
Looking at the blue sky, Chu Ci turned around and followed the little monk away. From then on, he could only take things one step at a time.
Arriving at the room prepared for him, Chu Ci first checked everywhere to make sure there was no problem before sitting down with peace of mind.
"It seems that this trip is just to burn incense, nothing should happen, but you still have to be careful when you sleep at night."
Chunhua nodded, "Don't worry, Miss."
Just as the two of them finished talking, there was another knock on the door. "Donor, please open the door. The wife of the Marquis of Pingyang asked me to bring you something."
