Chapter 278 The Nunnery
The second destination they came to was the Song Mansion where Song Sirou was.
Song Sirou's father had a low official position and was not qualified to attend the court meeting at all. When Lou Rongrong led people into the Song Mansion, he was still trembling and didn't understand what happened.
Lou Rongrong didn't bother to explain to him, so she asked Lan Yuqin to lead her to find the right owner.
Song Sirou also didn't expect that Lou Rongrong would risk the disgrace of the world and cause such a big incident, and it was even more unexpected that Lou Rongrong's plan included saving her from this sea of suffering.
Therefore, when Lou Rongrong appeared in front of her and invited her to teach in the library, she was a bit incredulous, and it took her a while to realize that Lou Rongrong was not joking.
Lou Rongrong smiled and said:
"But you can think about it, if you decide to come to my library, you and that 'Wen Lang', I'm afraid there will be no chance."
Song Sirou smiled, she was always gentle and shy, it was rare for her to laugh so heartily and freely:
"If you can swim like a fish, like a dragon in the sky, if you get this freedom, what does it matter if you belong to love?"
The two looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
In addition to the Song House, Lou Rongrong also went to the homes of girls who were married far away or planned to be married to rich and powerful people as concubines. Follow Lou Rongrong to leave.
As for the remaining few girls who have never talked about marriage, some are unable to let go of their birth mothers or still have expectations for their parents, and some are worried about facing secular accusations after leaving with Lou Rongrong. In the end, only two are willing to come to the library.
In this way, only the three girls who were sent to the nunnery remained.
The nunnery is on a short hill not far from the outskirts of the capital, and it is dedicated to the third Buddha. However, it is different from the ordinary nunnery because the bhikkhuni (also known as the nun in the common saying) is subject to eight respects. One is "different monks live in the same place for summer retreat, and they should not live far away from the monk's residence for summer retreat".
According to Buddhist regulations, "bhikkhunis" must go to the temple regularly to learn the "seven-day method", and must be able to travel between the temple and their residence within seven days.Therefore, bhikkhunis should not live too far away from the monastery, as it would be inconvenient to come and learn Buddhism.
Therefore, generally speaking, there must be a temple near the nunnery, so that nuns can go to and from the temple to learn Buddhism.
But this nunnery has no temples nearby. In the large mansions in Beijing, once there are women who are "disgraced" or "lewd and slutty" and cannot be executed due to various reasons, most of them will be sent to the court. Here, many people are sent here every year, but after many years, the nunnery is still not crowded at all, and it has not been expanded in these years.
From this, one can guess what the endings of the women who were sent to the nunnery would be. Lou Rongrong didn't dare to delay, and after finishing the matter in Beijing, before it was too late to have lunch, he even took people out of the city.
In the nunnery at this moment, Liu Xiaoqing was kneeling on the cold bluestone floor, holding a rag in her hand, wiping the huge hall bit by bit, while carefully looking back at the old nun guarding her at the entrance of the hall.
The old nun had just had lunch, and seemed a little sleepy, holding a long whip made of rattan in his hand, leaning against the door of the temple, his round and bald head bit by bit, and his eyelids were drooping heavily.
While maintaining the current posture, Liu Xiaoqing pretended to be working hard, but approached the Buddha statue enshrined in the main hall step by step, her heart was beating violently, and she reached out behind the smiling Maitreya Buddha What to touch.
Unexpectedly, at this time, a gust of cold wind blew in front of the hall, and the old nun was so cold that he subconsciously sneezed, and suddenly he became sober. When he turned his head, he saw Liu Xiaoqing's sneaky look, and Dang even opened his angry eyes. Without any explanation, he came up and gave her two whips:
"You little bitch, how dare you make small moves under my nose, no wonder you were sent here, you are such a restless bitch, if you are still staying in the mansion, you will definitely be a slut who steals men in the future !"
Liu Xiaoqing was beaten to the ground and rolled over with her head in her arms, screaming and defending:
"Ah! I didn't! I didn't! I just saw some dust on the back of the Buddha statue and wanted to wipe it off. How dare I do something under your nose, Master Jingxiang?! Ah! Don't hit me! Please don't beated!"
The old nun was dubious, gave her another whip, and then turned to look at the back of Maitreya Buddha, and saw a layer of dust on the back, only one piece was clean, and the dust on the edge was also soaked, it should be Liu Xiaoqing who wiped it just now. Clean.
Seeing Liu Xiaoqing lying on the floor with tears streaming down his face, with a loyal and wronged look, the old nun snorted coldly and cursed:
"Restless little hoof, you better not have it, otherwise you know what will happen!"
Thinking of the human bones scattered in the dense forest in the back mountain, Liu Xiaoqing shivered involuntarily. Seeing this, the old nun was satisfied, and turned to walk outside the hall:
"Okay, poor nun go back to the room and have a rest for a while, you clean up the hall by yourself, and then go to get food."
Liu Xiaoqing hurriedly lowered her head to respond, and after a while, she couldn't hear the old nun's footsteps, then she got up cautiously, rushed to the front of the main hall to look around, confirmed that the old nun had really left, then went back, and hid behind another Buddha statue again. He took out a bunch of keys and hid them in his chest.
She hastily cleaned the main hall, and then received a cold white steamed bun in the kitchen under the eyes of another old nun, and hurried back to the place where the three of them lived.
As soon as the door opened, a girl rushed up to greet her and asked anxiously:
"Have you got the thing?"
Liu Xiaoqing vigilantly made a silent gesture, then turned around and checked again and again to make sure no one was looking at her, then stepped in, closed the door, took out the bunch of old keys from her chest, and said:
"Lucky, Jingxiang went to take a lunch break, so I got it."
The girl lying on the bed smiled weakly:
"That's great, it's not in vain that I suffered a severe beating for stealing the key."
Another girl worried:
"But you are so badly injured, how can we escape? Why don't we wait for two more days, until you recover a little bit, then we can escape later."
However, Liu Xiaoqing shook her head solemnly and said:
"I'm afraid not. Jinghui has to use the key every night to lock everything to prevent others from escaping. We can only escape before tonight, otherwise we will be found to have stolen the key. I'm afraid we will escape in succession." If there is no chance, it will become the dry bones of the back mountain."
The girl lying on the bed gritted her teeth:
"Since this is the case, we might as well run away now. Most of the old nuns are taking a nap now. At night, they will watch more closely, and we will be even more difficult to escape. Although I have been beaten, I can still walk around , as long as we act more carefully, maybe we can escape?"
