Although Wenxin'an is located in a busy city, it gives people a sense of tranquility amidst the bustle.

"The house is built in a human environment, but there are no carriages or horses to show it! I ask you how you can do it, and you turn your back calmly." Jiang Changning recited a poem softly, raised his skirt and stepped across the threshold of the courtyard.

When you enter the nunnery gate, you see the screen wall.

On the screen wall is a large Buddha character.

Around the screen wall is the front yard of the nunnery, with a row of mulberry trees planted along the wall.

There are three large tanks in the courtyard, with several lotus plants planted in them.

In late spring, although it is not the flowering period of lotus, the layers of green lotus leaves are still pleasing to the eye.

Lotus and Buddha have an indissoluble bond.

What Buddhism likes to talk about the most is this fate. Jiang Changning smelled the rich sandalwood in the air and listened to the clear sound of wooden fish in the room. He lowered his eyelids and whispered: "Bodhisattva, I would like to have a good relationship with you.

"

When I walked into the main hall dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva, I saw three or four women kneeling on futons, holding three sticks of incense in their hands, praying devoutly.

To the left and right of the incense table sat a nun in her early twenties wearing a silk robe.

Jiang Changning waited for the women to stand up and leave, then stepped forward, took three sticks of incense, lit it, knelt down, and kowtowed, "Jiang Changning, the believer, pray to Bodhisattva to bless nanny Zhou to recover soon. If the nanny recovers, believer

I wish to reshape the golden body of the Bodhisattva, rebuild Wenxin Temple, and fast for seventy-seven and forty-nine days."

This promise was serious enough. The nun on the left opened her eyes, glanced at Jiang Changning, closed them again, and recited, "Amitabha."

Jiang Changning put the three sticks of incense in the incense burner and saw the red rope in the jade box on the incense table.

"Master, how can I ask for the peace of mind rope?" Jiang Changning walked up to the nun on the left, saluted and asked.

"Amitabha, the donor can go to the side hall and offer money for incense and oil. Please feel at ease."

"Thank you, Master, for your advice." Jiang Changning went to the side hall and donated ten taels of fragrant oil money to the nun there, and received five red ropes that were offered in front of the Bodhisattva.

"It's so expensive." Fu Cui muttered carefully.

Jiang Changning smiled, it was indeed expensive, only twenty taels of silver a piece.

In today's world, ten taels of silver can allow an ordinary family of four to live well for a year.

Since he took a detour to Wenxin Nunnery, Jiang Changning was not in a hurry to leave, and planned to visit the nunnery again.

The three-story pagoda in the nunnery is an octagonal three-story pavilion-style brick tower. It is not too tall and contains scriptures.

"Why did this nunnery build the Tower of the Dead here? It's not unlucky." Fu Cui curled her lips in disgust.

"Fu Cui, don't talk nonsense. There is no such thing as bad luck in the Buddhist hall." Jiang Changning said sternly.

Shu Fei glared at her and said, "I'll punish you by copying Buddhist scriptures ten thousand times."

Fu Cui stuck out her tongue and said, "Girl, I'm sorry, please don't be angry. Please tell me about this tower."

"The pagoda is used to enshrine relics, scriptures, and religious objects. According to the objects enshrined, this pagoda can be called a sutra pagoda."

"According to nature and meaning, there are prayer towers, repaying kindness towers, and longevity towers."

"Based on shape, there are square towers, round towers, hexagonal towers, and octagonal towers."

"According to the construction materials, there are brick towers, stone towers, jade towers, sand towers, mud towers, iron towers, copper towers, gold towers, silver towers and glazed towers."

"Not every pagoda has relics enshrined in it, which is what you call the Tower of the Dead, do you understand?"

"The girl is right." A sudden male voice came from behind the pagoda.

Jiang Changning was shocked, how could there be a man in the inner courtyard of the nunnery?

While Jiang Changning was astonished, three men walked out from behind the tower. The man in the middle was dressed in mysterious clothes, with a face like a crown of jade, elegant and upright, with a graceful bearing and a jade crown for his hair.

At the corner of the robe, there is a stream of light floating. The embroiderer used silver thread to secretly embroider auspicious clouds on the corner of the robe.

When Jiang Changning looked at the man, the man was also looking at her.

A slim girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a white jacket, a pink and blue embroidered jacket, a pink and blue pleated skirt, and a pink and blue gauze outer cover.

The cuffs embroidered with blue and white flowers revealed a pair of slender hands as white as peeled onions, holding a white handkerchief.

The naturally hanging black hair is as black as ink, which makes her small face as white as snow, and her watery eyes are full of love, as if she is looking into people's hearts.

Jiang Changning was stared at by the man and took a step back, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. This man was so rude.

Fu Cui stepped forward and stopped in front of her, put her hands on her hips, and asked fiercely: "What are you looking at?"

"Fu Cui, let's go." Jiang Changning hurriedly turned around and left with the two maids.

If a man is dressed luxuriously, he is either a powerful person or a rich man, so it is best not to offend him.

"Cao Jiang, follow me and take a look." The man ordered with a smile.

The man in brown clothes following him replied: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Jiang Changning's master and servant left the nunnery and found the carriage parked on the roadside, "Uncle Biao, go back home."

Fu Cui helped Jiang Changning get into the carriage, and Biaozi rode away.

Cao Jiang saw the sign on the carriage clearly and turned back.

The man also came out of the nunnery and got into a carriage with the Black Eagle logo on it.

The black eagle is the symbol of the Jin Palace, and the man is the current Jin Wang He Lianyu.

"Your Majesty, this is the dealer's carriage." Cao Jiang stood by the carriage window and reported.

"The banker?" He Lianyu pondered. This surname is rare. "It's the family of Zhuang Shenmao, the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Let's go check it out."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Cao Jiang replied.

Jiang Changning, who left in a carriage, never expected that by chance, He Lianyu would be motivated to check her thoughts.

Back at the banker's house, Jiang Changning went to see Mrs. Zhuang.

Old Mrs. Zhuang was playing cards with three other old women, one of whom was Aunt He who gave birth to a daughter for Old Mrs. Zhuang.

Another one is Mrs. Zhuang’s nanny. Like Aunt Zhou, her children and grandchildren have lost their status as slaves, become good citizens, participated in the imperial examination and entered the court as officials. Aunt Yu is also like an old lord at home.

The last one is Mrs. Huang San, the youngest son-in-law of Mrs. Zhuang's cousin. Neither her husband nor her son live up to expectations, so they can only rely on Mrs. Zhuang's lineage to live.

I think it was because she was here that I learned how to play cards today.

Helping Mrs. Zhuang read the cards is the maid Tongfu.

"Old lady, Changning is back." Jiang Changning bowed and saluted.

"Girl Ning is back, how is your nanny?" Mrs. Zhuang asked casually while throwing away her cards.

"Old Madam, I'm worried. The nanny is still in good health. She will be able to return home after a few more days of rest." Jiang Changning's lies not only contained good wishes, but also acted as a deterrent.

Aunt Zhou is already a good citizen, and her two sons have become officials in the court.

Although his official position was not high at this time, his future was promising and should not be underestimated.

"That's good." Mrs. Zhuang said calmly.

"Oh, I haven't seen her for a while, but now that I see her, my cousin has grown into a big girl! Look at her appearance, she looks a lot like my sister-in-law when she was young." Mrs. Huang San said with a smile.
