Chapter 36: Tianmen Temple

The bullock cart swayed and finally arrived at Tianmen Temple.
Gu Jiu almost fell apart, and his head was dizzy.
She is not stunned by cars, trains, planes, and even stunned bullocks.
Even she herself was shocked.
Gu Jiu's mouth twitched, looking at the sky speechlessly.
The point is, my head is really dizzy!
"Girl, does it matter?"
Gu Jiu waved his hand, "I'm fine, but my head is a little dizzy."
Qingmei said: "The slave and maid helped the girl get out of the car. The girl should not be busy today, take a good rest, and wait until tomorrow when she has energy, then talk about worship."
Gu Jiu was so kind and dizzy, she didn't have the energy to think about worship.
As soon as he got off the carriage, the Zhike monk greeted him.
The Zhike Seng first sang a Buddhist horn, and then said, "Master Gu, Miss Gu, the backyard guest room has been arranged. Please follow the little monk."
"Thank you little master." Gu Ling was polite.
Gu Jiu and his party followed the Zhike monk to the backyard of Tianmen Temple.
Tianmen Temple is a famous Buddhist temple in Jinzhou, where wives and gentlemen of wealthy families often come to burn incense.
Therefore, Tianmen Temple specially built a backyard, and many small courtyards were divided into the backyard for the rest of the believers.
When he came to the backyard, the Zhike Seng pointed to the two small courtyards on the left and right, and said: "These two small courtyards are arranged for Miss Gu and Master Gu. Are you satisfied?"
Gu Jiu raised his head and glanced, and wrote the word'Puxian'.
The courtyard where Gu Ling lives next door writes the word'jubo'. Take righteousness and give alms to Luohan.
Gu Ling said loudly, "The courtyard is good, but can I have food? After a day of driving, I was exhausted."
Zhi Ke Seng said: "The kitchen is ready for vegetarian food. In addition, there is a small kitchen in the small courtyard, so you can prepare your own food."
Gu Ling said: "Tonight, I don't bother to wait. Let's eat vegetarian food. Sister, what do you think?"
Gu Jiu nodded, eyebrows curled, and smiled: "Brother's idea is very good. It's rare to come to Tianmen Temple, so naturally you have to try the famous vegetarian restaurant here."
"My sister is right. Little master, please help us prepare vegetarian meals."
"Master Gu, Miss Gu will wait a moment, Su Zhai will deliver it in a while."
Gu Jiu said, "Then trouble little master."
"Miss Gu is polite."
Zhike monk is busy.
Gu Jiu said to Gu Yu: "Brother, I'll go back to my room and settle down first. I'll call me after Su Zhai's delivery."
"My sister is weak, so I hurried to go back to the room to rest. I'm the one outside, so my sister doesn't need to worry about it.
Gu Jiu smiled softly, "Brother hard work."
"It should be."
Gu Jiu took the maids into the Puxianyuan.
The courtyard is very small, with only three main rooms plus a small kitchen. There is only a low wall from the Juboyuan next door.
In case there is any movement here, the guards can come over directly over the wall.
Gu Jiu rode in the bullock cart. After a day of tiredness, he lay down on the collapse after entering the house.
She rubbed her calf and felt uncomfortable.
Qing Zhu asked concerned: "The girl's feet are swollen? The slave and maid will go to boil water and scald the girl's feet."
Gu Jiu nodded slightly and said softly, "It's a little swollen."
Qing Zhu put down his luggage and took Xiao Cui out to boil water.
Qingmei squatted down, "The slave girl beat her leg."
Gu Jiu said.
The strength of Qiaomei's leg beating was not light or heavy, just right. Gu Jiu looked comfortable.
After a while, she said: "I thought that Tianmen Temple was not far away and could be there in half a day. But I didn't expect that it took nearly a day to reach Tianmen Temple."
Qingmei said: "If there is a carriage, it will definitely be there in half a day. Unfortunately, there are only two carriages in the mansion."
Gu Jiu closed his eyes and recalled five years ago.
It is a pity that there are too few memories about the Qingping Racecourse accident. It seems that the dust has settled without even noticing it.
"Girl, the water is ready. The slave and maid brought in and scalded the girl's feet."
Green bamboo came in with hot water.
Gu Jiu couldn't wait to take off his shoes and socks.
When her feet were put into the footbath filled with hot water, she couldn't help but let out a comfortable moan.
Hot water scalds feet, really comfortable. I feel that the pores all over my body are open, the blood vessels are unobstructed, and my body feels comfortable.
"Girl, feel comfortable." Qing Zhu asked with a smile.
Gu Jiu nodded, "It's really comfortable. Where is Xiao Cui going?"
"The maidservant asked her to go to the kitchen. The maidservant plans to cook for the girl by herself starting tomorrow. The girl does not have to eat the vegetarian food in the temple every day."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Qingzhu has the best cooking skills, and I will have a good taste tomorrow."
Qing Zhu was very happy and asked, "What does the girl want to eat tomorrow? I will ask the guard to bring it to Zhuangzi."
Gu Jiu was curious, "Is there a Zhuangzi nearby?"
Qing Zhu nodded, "Don't the girl know? When I first came to Jinzhou, my wife set up a manor near Tianmen Temple. In recent years, most of the meat and vegetables eaten in the Fuzhong were offered by the Zhuangzi."
That's it! She didn't even know about it.
Gu Jiu smiled softly, "It seems that his wife is very good at making a living."
Qingmei whispered: "I heard that the maidservant's wife's family used to open the cloth village. The wife is very familiar with the economy and has a good understanding of economic activities."
Gu Jiu was a little curious when he heard the words, "How did I hear that Mrs. Xie's father, Mrs. Xie is a small official in the Yamen."
Qingmei said, "That was all later. It is said that when Mr. Xie was young, he helped a certain noble person. The nobleman remembered his kindness and asked him what he wanted in return. Mr. Xie said that he wanted to go to the Yamen as an errand. So the nobleman thanked him. The old man arranged to be a small official in the yamen."
Gu Jiu laughed, "I didn't expect such a thing. Qingmei, you know so much."
"The slave servant also listened to Madam Gui."
Mother Gui?
Gu Jiu thought for a while before thinking of such a person.
Mother Gui is the dowry of the biological mother Su, and she is arranged to wait on Gu Jiu.
Later, Xie found a reason and sent Mother Gui away.
Gu Jiu asked, "Is Grandma Gui okay now? Any one of you has news about Grandma Gui?"
Qingmei hesitated for a while, and then said, "Give me back to the girl, Mother Gui is in the nearby Zhuangzi, life must be difficult. Girl, think of a way to help Mother Gui."
Gu Jiu didn't immediately agree, because she had too few memories of Grandma Gui in her mind, and she couldn't even remember her appearance.
She said: "When Ms. Gui was sent away, I was young and I was not very impressed. Tell me, what kind of person is Ms. Gui?"
Qingmei and Qingzhu looked at each other.
Qing Zhu first said: "Mrs Gui is very strict with us little maids, but if you make a mistake, you must beat her."
Qingmei said, "Mrs Gui loves girls the most. After my wife passed away, Ms Gui was afraid that the girl would have two shortcomings.
In those years, Mother Gui stayed with the girl for a moment. Protect the girl like an eyeball.
It is estimated that for this reason, the wife thought that Mother Gui was an eye-obtrusive. Not long after arriving in Jinju, she found a mistake and sent Mother Gui to Zhuangzi. "
Gu Jiu calculated the time.
Master Gu came to Jinzhou eight years ago.
In less than half a year, Mother Gui was found by the Xie family and sent to Zhuangzi.
At that time, she was just a five or six-year-old little Lolita, and her memory was not deep enough.
But she thought about it carefully, and there seemed to be such a person in her vague memory.
Gu Jiu said to the two maids: "Since Mother Gui is on Zhuangzi, we will go to Zhuangzi another day."
"Thank you girl!"
Qingmei and Qingzhu were overjoyed.
Xiaocui came in from outside, "Girl, Su Zhai is ready, so it has been sent to the Juboyuan next door."
Gu Jiu laughed, "It just happens to be hungry. Qingmei, wait for me to dress. Let's eat in the courtyard next door."
"Yes!"
