Chapter 60 The Humble Concubine Does Not Be Cannon Fodder 010
The flower hall was quiet except for Sheng Nuan's cautious sobs.
The old lady had a complicated expression. On the one hand, she felt uncomfortable continuing to attack her, but at the same time, she suddenly felt some thoughts: When she is a hundred years from now, she doesn’t know if any of her younger generation will miss her like this.
In addition, Mr. Sheng actually compared himself with a deceased poor old lady...she looked like a brainless person.
In the back house, I'm not afraid of the brainless ones, I'm just afraid of the ones who are full of calculations and like to cause trouble.
The old lady said leisurely: "Okay, don't cry. Those who don't know may think that my old lady has done something to you."
Sheng Nuan quickly wiped away her tears and forced a smile: "The old lady is kind and tolerant, but I don't know the etiquette."
"Okay, I'm going to recite sutras. You can go back." The old lady said calmly.
The customer service staff looked at it in amazement: Just by chanting and making phone calls...the crisis of copying Buddhist scriptures was resolved in half a month?
But what it didn't expect was that its host refused to leave.
"The old lady is kind-hearted and dedicated to worshiping Buddha. My grandmother used to worship Buddha often. I copied many Buddhist scriptures with my grandmother. I wonder...can I accompany the old lady to worship Buddha?"
After Sheng Nuan finished speaking, a cold light flashed in the old lady's eyes.
She had just said that she wanted to worship Buddha, and Mrs. Sheng said that her grandmother also worshiped Buddha, and that she often copied Buddhist scriptures... The Hou family was so deep that the old lady had never seen anyone, and Mrs. Sheng just wanted to please herself.
"Since you often copy Buddhist scriptures, you must be very familiar with them... Aunt Gui, take Ms. Sheng to the small Buddhist hall and ask her to recite the Diamond Sutra silently."
After saying that, the old lady looked at Sheng Nuan calmly: "You are not allowed to come out until you finish writing."
Aunt Gui said respectfully with a straight face: "Yes."
If you want to please the old lady, you have to see if you have the ability...
Immediately afterwards, Sheng Nuan was taken to the small Buddhist hall. After putting pens, inks, paper and inkstones on the table, the door of the Buddhist hall was closed, and there was silence everywhere.
Sheng Nuan didn't care, because she knew that the old lady thought she was trying to please her by saying that she had copied Buddhist scriptures, and she was sure that she didn't understand Buddhist scriptures at all, let alone being able to recite the Diamond Sutra silently.
The reason why I let her come and locked her up was to hit her: not everyone can please the old lady.
The customer service staff was a little puzzled: "Host, why are you doing this?"
Just now it was clear that the crisis had been resolved, and there was no need to worry about being punished for copying Buddhist scriptures for half a month, but she refused to leave, and instead made such a fuss...
Sheng Nuan smiled and said softly: "This crisis has been resolved. What about next time?"
She didn't know how long she would have to be a shield. There was no chance that she could get away every time. Now that she had her thighs here, if she didn't hug her tightly with all her strength, how long would it take?
Passive defense can only put you in a difficult situation. Only by taking the initiative to attack can you have more opportunities.
The customer service staff didn't realize it and didn't dare to interrupt anymore. They obediently called up the original text of the "Diamond Sutra" to Sheng Nuan.
The original owner's father was an old scholar, who had studied hard for decades in Hanchuang, and what she just said about living with her grandma and worshiping Buddha was actually true. The original owner had copied many Buddhist scriptures, and had also painstakingly practiced music, chess, calligraphy and painting in order to be able to climb high.
.
Playing piano and chess requires a good teacher, but practicing calligraphy does not. Therefore, the original owner is very good at hairpin and small regular script... As for painting, that is Sheng Nuan's own skill.
Just like that, Sheng Nuan sat down at the table and started copying Buddhist scriptures... Not to mention, seeing the beautiful and neat small regular script with hairpins jumping out of the paper from his hands, and neatly arranged in rows was pleasing to the eye, which gave me a sense of accomplishment.
However, she found it a bit boring after writing it for a short time, so she simply handed it over to the customer service agent... She put on a show, but actually didn't have to do anything.
While Sheng Nuan was sitting in the small Buddhist hall copying Buddhist scriptures, on the other side, in Feixu Courtyard, Xiao Dingcheng was sitting with Liu Rumian, watching Liu Rumian embroidery.
They already knew that Sheng Nuan was left by the old lady to copy Buddhist scriptures.
At this time, Liu Rumian suddenly put down her needle and thread and sighed.
Xiao Dingcheng raised his eyes: "What's wrong?"
Liu Rumian said with some shame, "When I think that Sister Sheng is suffering on my behalf, I feel guilty."
Liu Rumian originally thought that Xiao Dingcheng would not care, and even told her that Sheng Nuan's existence was to protect her, but she did not expect that Xiao Dingcheng would also fall into deep thought.
The next moment, she heard Xiao Dingcheng say: "It doesn't matter, just treat her better from now on."
Liu Rumian's hand holding the needle tightened slightly, hiding the coldness in her eyes, she forced a smile: "Yes, I will pay more attention to Sister Sheng in the future."
At this time, the maid Wen'er stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, aunt, dinner is ready..."
"It's almost time for dinner and she hasn't come out yet?" The old lady looked indifferent.
The eldest maid Du Juan said respectfully: "Go back to the old lady, Grandma Gui has gone to see her."
The old lady didn't really intend to lock Sheng Nuan up, she just wanted to give her a lesson...
At this moment, footsteps came from outside, and then, Aunt Gui came with Sheng Nuan.
The old lady frowned slightly and was about to speak when she saw Aunt Gui stepping forward, holding in her hand... the "Diamond Sutra" which she had silently read.
The old lady paused for a moment, looked at Sheng Nuan in surprise, then took the "Diamond Sutra" and opened it. When she saw the extremely neat and beautiful hairpin in small regular script, the old lady's eyes lit up, and she flipped it back a little.
No mistakes or omissions.
This Sheng family actually really understands Buddhist scriptures...
The old lady's expression softened visibly, and at this time, dinner was also prepared on the table.
The old lady put the "Diamond Sutra" beside her and raised her eyes: "I have been silent about the Buddhist sutra for four hours. Thank you for your hard work."
Sheng Nuan smiled and shook his head: "It's not hard, I'm very happy."
The customer service secretly complained: Of course I’m happy to be able to hold it on my thigh once and for all.
The old lady hummed and said, "Today you saved my life and copied Buddhist scriptures for me. Tell me, what reward do you want?"
Customer service complained again: big gold bracelet!
Sheng Nuan ignored the dog customer service, pursed her lips and shook her head: "It is my honor to have the honor to meet the old lady today, and I will never accept the reward."
But the old lady insisted: "Old lady, I never treat the people below badly, just tell me."
Sheng Nuan pursed her lips, hesitation flashed in her eyes... she paused, then tentatively spoke: "Can I be brave enough to ask the old lady for permission to allow me to return to my parents' home to visit my relatives once a month?"
She carefully explained: "My parents are old, and I only have one daughter. I know that I am now a member of the palace, so I beg the old lady to give me a grace and allow me to go home to visit my relatives every month."
The old lady was a little surprised, and even Aunt Gui next to her was a little surprised.
Many aunts and concubines in the palace tried their best to please and behave in front of the old lady, hoping to get some benefits for themselves, so that their status in the palace would be higher and their life would be easier... But Mrs. Sheng wanted to go home to visit her relatives.
Even the respectable maid next to the old lady can get the favor of visiting relatives, which is really not a big deal.
The old lady glanced at Sheng Nuan and said lightly: "That's right, it's just that you have to let the prince know when you go out of the palace to visit relatives."
Sheng Nuan's eyes were full of joy and she quickly bowed: "I'll save you time, thank you, old lady."
"Okay, let's get down."
The old lady raised her hand, and Sheng Nuan immediately bowed and excused herself, and was escorted out of the courtyard by the maid.
As she walked back, Sheng Nuan couldn't help but feel happy.
The customer service was a little confused...
How could a situation that was too scary for others suddenly turn into a favorable situation for the host? Not only did she escape smoothly, she gained a favorable impression from the old lady, and more importantly, she was given the grace to go home to visit her relatives.
In this way, the task of taking care of the original owner's parents can be carried out...
Sheng Nuan hummed a little tune and said to the customer service: "I can go out for a walk tomorrow...it's great."
Before she finished speaking, she noticed someone standing at the door of Tang Nuan Garden in front of her. Her steps slowed down immediately, and then she saw that it was Su Lan who was next to Princess Lin'an.
Sheng Nuan smiled and asked: "Aunt Su, why are you here when it's almost dark?"
Su Lan looked at her and said lightly: "Miss Sheng, Your Highness the Princess invites you..."
