Finally, the plaque of "Joki-an" appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
This is a gentle hillside in the middle of the mountain, and the black tiles and white walls of the nunnery slowly spread out towards the two wings, forming an embracing posture.
From here, the layers of houses are clearly visible and the trees are dotted with scenery.
The chanting of the morning class came out with the wind, and a solemn sense of solemnity that only Buddhism can find came to the face.
Compared with the great compassion temple with strong incense and apricot walls and green tiles, the Jingyi Nunnery has more Zen of Buddhism and pure land.
This nunnery, which has lasted for hundreds of years, stands quietly in the deep mountains, finding peace between heaven and earth, listening to the wind and rain, and listening to the mountain language.
The prince glanced at the sky and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, so he didn't miss the auspicious time.
An old nun in gray came out from inside, her face was thin, and she was quite vigorous when she walked, and it was the presiding lady Jingchen here.
She took half a step out of the door and said, "But the four girls of the Fang family have arrived?"
” The captain of the guard stepped forward and hugged his fists and said: "By the order of the Queen Mother, escort the four girls of the Fang family here, and there will be a teacher to greet you." ” Master Jingchen made a gesture and said, "Please let the four girls in." ” Fang Jinshu stepped forward to salute and said, "The little woman has seen Mrs.
Shi.
With Fang Fei, he followed the nun who led the way to the nunnery.
"Adults have worked hard all the way, please rest for a while in the front yard and leave after fasting."
The nunnery is full of nuns and royal monks, and no men are allowed to enter.
Even the guards sent by the palace to be stationed here for many years are all set up outside the wall of the nunnery, patrolling and guarding, and they are not allowed to enter for half a step.
The place where they live every day is the front yard in the mouth of Master Jingchen.
The prince thanked him and walked towards the front yard with the captain of the guard.
The rice of Jokian is not as famous as the Great Compassion Temple, and it is a real coarse tea and light rice.
But since he came, the host opened his mouth to leave the meal again, if such kindness was refused, both sides would not look good.
It's just a meal, it's not that I can't bear it.
Thinking of this, the prince couldn't help but sympathize with Fang Jinshu in his heart.
The little girl who is only eight years old is the time to grow her body, and if she has to eat like this for a year, she doesn't know if her body can stand it.
Fang Jinshu followed the nun who led the way and walked inside, only to hear the sound of chanting, and did not see a person along the way.
The female Nifa who led the way was called Comet, more than ten years old, a head and a half taller than Fang Jinshu, and was an orphan who was taken in by the host.
There are several people like her in the nunnery, all of whom are baby girls who were abandoned at the door of the nunnery.
She has lived in this pure clothes nunnery for as long as she can remember, and she has never seen the outside world.
Jingchen asked her to lead Fang Jinshu for the sake of their close age and easy communication.
Fang Jinshu made an order in the palace and entered the nunnery to pray for the Empress Dowager, she would not be particularly preferential but would not deliberately embarrass a little girl.
This was the first time she had seen a little girl from outside, and she glanced at her curiously along the way.
Seeing her suspicious, she said, "Fourth girl, this senior sister and aunt are all doing morning classes in the main hall, and then it will be lively." ” Fang Jinshu exchanged names with her, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Senior Sister Comet, thank you Senior Sister for mentioning it." ” When he arrived at the back row of houses, Comet pushed open one of them and entered, saying, "This courtyard is full of our phonetic generations, and the two of you can live in this room." ” Fang Jinshu glanced around, and there were two beds on the left and one on the right against the wall in the room, and in the middle were a square table and two stools.
On the other side there are two windows, under which is a shelf for hanging clothes, and under it rests a basin for washing.
The furnishings in the house are simple and simple, but the better thing is clean.
Needless to say, someone must have cleaned it up in advance.
Fang Jinshu thanked Comet Yin and asked Fang Fei to put the burden in his hand on the square table.
"Fourth girl, you rest first, and when the senior sisters get out of the morning class, I'll call a few more to bring your luggage in."
Comet was full of interest in this little girl from outside, and had a stomach to ask her.
But seeing her cheeks flushed from climbing the mountain and the sweat on her forehead, she thoughtfully stopped asking more, leaving her time to clean up and rest.
Fang Fei went out with a basin, fetched a basin of well water and came in, and said, "The girl will wipe her face first, and I'll look carefully when I go back, where can I get hot water." ” The autumn day in the mountains is so cold that even the sunshine can't dispel it.
Fang Jinshu took Fang Fei's wrung out towel, and the coldness at her fingertips made her shiver.
Pursing her lips, she controlled her body's reaction and wiped her face.
In the two lives combined, she has not washed her face in cold water in such temperatures, but she has to adapt to it.
For the female nun concubine who cultivates in this nunnery, she is a yellow-haired little girl, and she is nothing.
What's more, there may not be hot water here.
After cleaning his head and face with cold water, the cold made Fang Jinshu much sober.
Fang Fei squatted down to remove her deerskin boots, and saw that her hind soles and toes were red, and there were two blisters.

Fang Fei put her slender feet into her arms in distress, and only after warming them did she put on a pair of soft cloth shoes again.
Deerskin boots can protect your feet, but Fang Jinshu's skin is too delicate, or cloth shoes are more compliant.
I put my belongings in my baggage aside, and the voices of people gradually came from outside, thinking that the morning class had dispersed.
"Girl, sit down for a while, and I'll go and carry the luggage in."
Fang Jinshu sat on the bed, leaned against the wall and nodded.
It's not that she still puts up a young lady shelf when she arrives here, but it is that she has exhausted her physical strength when she climbs up, and the pain is unbearable from the thighs down.
After a while, Fang Fei and Comet Yin carried a box cage in, and some little nuns who were about the same age as Comet also helped carry the luggage.
Their expressions when they saw Fang Jinshu were similar to comets, and they were all full of curiosity.
When he first arrived, Fang Jinshu couldn't just sit on the bed and watch others work for himself. endured the discomfort and got out of bed, and packed up the luggage with Fang Fei.
Opening one of the cages and taking out two boxes of pea yolk prepared in advance, Fang Jinshu said with a smile: "I brought some snacks from home to give the little masters a taste." ” This was prepared for her by Si Lansheng to win people's hearts.
Comet opens the lid, and the sweet smell wafts out.
The pea yellow pea in the shape of a plum blossom looks as delicate as tofu, and it is delicate and delicious.
"It's so beautiful, it's really for food?"
Fang Jinshu nodded with a smile, took a piece and handed it to her.
Comet looked at it in his hand for a long time before taking a careful bite.
The group of little nuns looked at her nervously, and one of the youngest swallowed her saliva with a grunt.
The rest of the nuns didn't care to reproach her, and waited for the comet's reaction.
