Chapter 178: High and arrogant
The sky was foggy, and black clouds were slowly surging. Although there was no sunshine, it was very stuffy.
Jiming Temple opens on Xiangzhu Street, and is still doing business. Yao Ji looked at the familiar shop through the scarf in front of the hat for a while, and then walked towards the alley.
At the entrance of the alley, she stood in a specific place, and in a trance, she seemed to see a tall and strong young man standing there holding a cat. His eyes were hot, as if something tangible was gently stroked on her face. When Yao Ji stretched out her hand to touch it, the man had disappeared.
She seemed to have several places to go, but she seemed to have no idea where to go. This feeling was like her wandering mood.
...Yao Ji was unwilling to work hard for Yao Guangxiao anymore, because those big events had nothing to do with her, and she didn't care even more. If she continued, even if she could accomplish the so-called big events, what would it mean to her?
She wanted to get rid of control, but she didn't want to betray Yao Guangxiao. Even though she was not doing well in childhood, if Yao Guangxiao had not helped and paid for her support, Yao Ji felt that she would be even more miserable. She was not thinking about her kindness.
...Yao Ji didn't want to betray Zhu Gaoxu. At a certain moment, she even felt that Zhu Gaoxu was more reliable than Yao Guangxiao. But Yao Ji understood that no matter how good she did, she could not be compared with Guo. And when one day, her true identity was known by Zhu Gaoxu, how should she deal with it?
At this time, Yao Ji walked into the alley and into the mansion inside.
Once you go up the pavilion, you can see the west gate of Jiming Temple.
Wandering in the attic, she sometimes seemed to see another herself doing trivial matters at the west gate of the temple; sometimes she seemed to have become Zhu Gaoxu, who was watching the little nie in the west gate of Jiming Temple for a long time.
In the afternoon, a young man came into the yard, Yao Ji's brother Yao Fang, known as Yao Monk.
I haven't met for a few months. Monk Yao came in and asked nothing, but just frowned and said, "My second sister wants to meet me, how could she come here? Then King Gaoyang knows this place!"
Yao Ji ignored his complaints and just glanced at him. Her brother had a straight facial features, had big eyes, and a very serious expression. The expression on his face was a bit out of proportion to his age.
The tables in the room were covered with dust. Monk Yao picked up the teapot and put them down again.
"I'll go and boil water for you." Yao Ji said.
Monk Yao waved his hand and said, "Forget it! Don't mess around without boiling water. Let me ask you, what's going on with King Gaoyang recently?"
"marriage."
After hearing this, Monk Yao frowned. There were two vertical lines between his eyebrows at a young age. "Our family was hit by a catastrophe. If our uncle hadn't helped him rescue him, would you and my brothers and sisters be what they are today? You must be kind to others. My uncle is not our parents, but he raised us like his parents. I don't even understand this right and wrong. How can you be a human being?"
Unexpectedly, Yao Ji was cold and did not look humble in receiving teaching at all.
Is it more important to have an uncle in a distant uncle than a sister? Unfortunately, it seems that this is true. The uncle can give his brother an official position and salary, power and status, what can his sister give him?
Yao Ji didn't cater to it, but she didn't think her brother was wrong. She really got the kindness of others, and could she pretend that it had never happened?
"King Gaoyang doesn't trust me." Yao Ji finally spoke, "I know almost nothing except what happened in the mansion."
After hearing this, Monk Yao cursed in a deep voice: "That guy is really shameless. He slept with his sister first, but he still treated you like that!" He was angry for a while and asked again, "Have you been secretly gone out?"
Yao Ji was silent for a moment. She did know that once Zhu Gaoxu was not in the palace for two consecutive days, and used Du Qianrui as a cover. She must have done something shameful.
"No." Yao Ji suddenly said two words, even she was a little surprised, "He often went out during the day, but never took me."
Monk Yao looked disappointed and said, "I have to remind you again, don't get pregnant. Otherwise, my uncle will not be able to believe you, it will be difficult to deal with it at that time..."
Yao Ji listened silently.
"It is very unreliable for rapists to use women, but only beautiful women can easily get close to these emperors and princes. The ancients also had to use beauties like Xi Shi and Diao Chan." Monk Yao said, and suddenly slapped his head, "I have to find Fan Li for you!"
Yao Ji immediately sneered: "Brother can scold me for being arrogant, but don't force me."
"What do you mean?" asked Monk Yao.
Yao Ji said: "There are hundreds of countries in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Ming Dynasty only has one country. Even if there is Fan Li in the Ming Dynasty, can it be compared with the prince? Besides, I have committed myself to him."
Monk Yao thought about it and stopped talking. He stood up and said, "My sister must find a way to try her best to gain the trust of King Gaoyang. Don't stay here for a long time, I'll leave first."
"Or..." Yao Ji suddenly spoke.
Her brother turned his head to look at her at the door, and Yao Ji said, "How about my brother and uncle talk to me, I don't want to be a spy anymore. As long as my uncle agrees, I will swear to you: I will never tell you what happened to my uncle before even if I die."
Monk Yao sneered and pointed his finger at his forehead, "Sister think about it again."
...Yao Ji was stunned in the mansion for a while, and then went out to walk towards Jiming Temple.
As soon as he entered the temple, the nuns immediately ran into the middle of nervousness. After a while, the host brought a group of old nuns to greet him. The host looked at Yao Ji and clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha! Yao Ji, you were also a Buddhist. I am merciful, don't be too angry."
Yao Ji said: "I want to stay in the temple for two days."
"Yes, yes!" The host actually bent down at her.
So Yao Ji walked straight to the gangsters, accompanied by the host himself, and told the people around him: "Who did Yao Ji live in the room before? Let her be freed up immediately."
"Yes, host." Someone responded.
The host walked up and said to Yao Ji: "The Buddhists have no intention of power and do not care about secular affairs. But this temple is located in the inner city of the capital, at the foot of the emperor. How can we disobey the royal intention?"
Yao Ji said: "I said something harsh on the day of breaking the city. But after so long, I don't want to be too concerned."
Perhaps she said this because she felt a little tired at this moment. If she really wanted to take revenge on all the people who were not good to her, there would be too many.
"It's all the meaning of Queen Ma, not the original intention of Pomnis and others." A nun said. She beat Yao Ji and asked Yao Ji to clean the toilet. At this time, she hurriedly spoke.
Yao Ji glanced at her and said nothing.
The host said again: "Amitabha!"
Yao Ji entered the House of Nens and just arrived at the hut she lived in, she heard a loud noise outside. The pouring rain finally came down, and the rain splashed, and even the place near the door of the house was soon filled with water.
She looked at the rain outside the door, and the halls and ancient towers became hazy. The noisy sound of rain made people feel peaceful. Perhaps it was because the heavy rain covered the hut and felt a sense of forgetting.
In an instant, Yao Ji suddenly thought that if she escaped from the world like this, the ancient Buddha of Qinglan was also good. But this idea was just a flash of sparks, because she knew very well that temples outside the world were just another world.
Just like now, she can live here, is it just because she has been a nun?
