Chapter 509 The Strange Master Pushan
Shao Yanru just helped the lady out of the carriage and received a reward from the palace.
The Queen Mother was overjoyed, and after asking Shao Yanru to thank her, she took Shao Yanru back to her Spring Hall Courtyard. After sitting down, she couldn't wait to let Shao Yanru open the gift box sent by the Queen Mother.
Today, all the ladies present were not polite, but they allowed their granddaughter to be treated well. At this time, the madam's energy immediately became full.
"Grandma, what is this?" Shao Yanru was also full of joy. She opened it with a smile and her face changed slightly.
A delicate and small ruler made of white jade in the gift box?
"What...what does this mean?" Shao Yanru's eyes turned red in panic, and he looked at the Madam with tears in his eyes.
Mrs. Tai's face suddenly turned pale. She picked up the white jade ruler and looked through it a few times. It was indeed a white jade ruler. It was very exquisite and small in workmanship. At first glance, it looked like a hairpin, the kind that could be inserted into your hair. But no matter how exquisite it is, it is still a ruler.
"Grandma, I didn't do anything rude in the palace just now, right?" Shao Yanru asked uneasily, raising his eyes quite pitifully, which made the Madam feel very distressed.
He hurriedly put down the ruler in his hand, stretched out his hand to pull her into his arms, patted her back, and comforted her: "It's okay, it's okay. It should be my son's fault for mentioning Master Pushan in the palace. I said a few words for Master Universal."
"But I didn't say much, just a few words, and I didn't say it clearly!" Shao Yanru wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said aggrievedly.
"Master Pushan must have a very close relationship with you. Today's picture album was brought up by us, and it was brought from the mountain by someone from our family. Then we mentioned the difference in paper quality. Finally, we mentioned that Master Pushan, the Queen Mother The empress may have misunderstood that our series of events were all because we wanted to recommend Master Pushan to the palace, and thought that you were planning for Master Pushan."
The lady comforted her with heartache.
"Grandma, I saw you speechless at that time, so I said that. I didn't really want to bring up Master Pushan's entry into the palace!" Shao Yanru explained softly.
"Grandma knows, grandma knows, grandma knows that Ru'er wants to save grandma, so she mentions Master Pushan like this to divert the Queen Mother's attention!"
Mrs. Tai's expression became softer and softer. She only felt that she had caused trouble for her eldest granddaughter today. If she hadn't hastily tried to seize some doubts and lead the matter to Shao Wanru, she would not have put herself in an embarrassing and difficult-to-answer situation. , let alone let his eldest granddaughter be given a ruler by the Queen Mother.
Fortunately, this gift was brought back to see, otherwise Ruer would have been wronged to death!
She stretched out her hand and rubbed her forehead, only to feel a dull pain in her head. Shao Wanruo was indeed a troublemaker just like her mother. Look, they were still on the mountain, and they were making such a fuss.
"Then... what should we do?" Shao Yanru opened his eyes wide and looked at the Madam and said sadly.
"It's okay, it's okay. Don't mention Master Pushan too much in front of the Queen Mother!" said the Queen Mother. She felt that she had brought this matter to her eldest granddaughter, and the eldest granddaughter didn't know what she had arranged. The unfortunate one was In order to save myself from the siege, the Queen Mother misunderstood me, and I felt pity for him.
"Go back and rest first, it'll be okay!" The madam reassured her a few more words, and then asked the aggrieved granddaughter to go back.
Shao Yanru got up obediently. When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped again, and his face regained its previous dignity and propriety: "Grandma, take a good rest when you are tired. Everything else is trivial. As long as Grandma is fine, Ru'er will be fine even if she is punished some more!"
Looking at her eldest granddaughter who had recovered, the wife felt more and more distressed. At the same time, she also felt very relieved. Sure enough, she was raised by her side. This kind of magnanimity was not comparable to that of Shao Wanru.
Then he smiled and waved his hand and said: "Go, go and rest, it's okay. Grandma will be fine, and neither will you!"
Shao Yanru didn't say much this time, nodded softly, turned around and went out.
The further you go outside, the colder your expression becomes...
After Shao Yanru left, the anger on Mrs. Tai's face could no longer be suppressed. She slapped the table hard with her hand and asked sharply from the corners of her eyes: "Didn't it say that this picture album has been destroyed? Why can't you see anything?"
Aunt Yu's face paled in panic, and she hurriedly explained: "I don't know, this is the result of the previous investigation. It was also said that the fifth lady's maid was trapped, and it was impossible to find a good painter to make a painting on the spot. , and it can be bound so seamlessly!”
"But all of this is so seamless. Didn't you make a move before and tell Master Pushan's disciples clearly?" Mrs. Tai still felt suspicious that there was nothing wrong with it. As for the fact that one piece of paper was different, it didn't matter. It turned out to be another clever idea of Master Pushan, but they just didn't realize it.
"Old slave, I don't know why this is happening. This matter was originally related to Master Huiqing. Master Huiqing suffered a loss from the Fifth Miss before and hated the Fifth Miss so much that she shouldn't let her slip at the critical moment, right? ?”
Aunt Yu said bluntly that when something went so wrong, it was almost as if all the agencies had been exhausted. But at the last minute, she found that there was nothing wrong with the picture album. It was not impossible to involve Miss Fifth. Yu When grandma was waiting outside the hall, she was very panicked.
I thought about it for a while to understand why things changed like this.
What went wrong?
"Let's leave this matter here first and wait until I get to Yuhui'an." Mrs. Tai thought for a moment and said decisively. Even if the matter of the picture album was over, she could not gain any leverage over Shao Wanru because of the picture album. Originally, she had I thought about taking the picture album back and asking a painter who is proficient in framing to take a look at it, but now the picture album has been left in the palace by the Queen Mother and she cannot take it out.
Even if I look for clues, I can't find them!
This matter can only go so far now.
"Yes, I know that I will send a group of people to Zhuangzi!" Aunt Yu said smartly. Originally, there was no need to send them to Zhuangzi, but now that the matter has been brought to the palace, if someone Knowing that, it may even lead to the crime of deceiving the emperor, which is troublesome.
"Okay, that's it. Don't act in vain for the time being. Send your mother-in-law to take care of you on the mountain. If you need anything, send it up. Don't spread any bad things again!"
The Queen Mother rubbed her brows again. She had lost all her energy just now because of the reward given by the Queen Mother. She only felt a dull pain all over her body.
Seeing the look on the wife's face, Aunt Yu also knew that the wife might be suffering from her old habit, so she hurriedly helped her lie down on the couch, then used a mat to prop her body up high, and brought her beads to her. in front of her hand.
Then he picked up the small hammer placed aside, squatted down, and knocked her legs repeatedly.
The lady's hands picked up the beads of her own accord, and placed them on the plate one by one. She chanted the sutra in her mouth, with a kind look on her face...
"Miss, the woman from Duke Xingguo's mansion and the maid who was forced to kneel before were sent to the village outside the city. It is the wife's own village." Qing'er came to report after holding the lamp.
"Do you see it clearly?" Shao Wanru put down his brush, looked at the picture he had drawn, smiled slightly, and asked.
"You see clearly, the eldest lady sent someone up the mountain this evening. It seems that she said she had a gift for Master Pushan, so she went directly to Master Pushan. Later she didn't come to greet you, so she went down directly. of mountains!”
Qing'er told another thing about Shao Wanru, which Shao Wanru asked her to keep an eye on.
Chu Liuchen's secret guards protecting Shao Wanru are now under the control of Qing'er. Even if others notice her now and notice the two big maids beside her, no one will notice the two big maids beside her. The little maid, who looks innocent, is the most important layer of protection that Chu Liuchen gives to Shao Wanru.
"What do you think of Master Pushan?" Shao Wanru asked, his eyes slowly falling on Yujie and Qule. Of course, he meant to ask these two, who lived with her in Yuhui. After staying at the nunnery for a while, I also had a lot of contact with the nuns in Yuhui nunnery.
"My servant feels that Master Pushan really seems to be practicing Qing Dynasty. He almost never does anything, does not do much rituals, and has a very good reputation!" Qu Le thought for a while and concluded.
Shao Wanru didn't answer and looked at Yujie again.
Yujie's eyebrows furrowed, "Miss, I think Master Pushan is too strange!"
"Oh, what's so strange?" Shao Wanru looked at her encouragingly.
"In the past, when I was at Jingxin Nunnery, Master Mingqiu was considered a worldly expert with superb medical skills. Even if the nunnery master did not treat diseases, Master Mingqiu would still take care of them, and sometimes she would just stand by the nunnery master. I am an accompanying person who is not concerned with fame and wealth. In the past, my slaves felt it was strange and wondered what Master Mingqiu was doing for this purpose. I also asked Master Mingqiu and she said that the six senses of a monk are pure and simple, just for the sake of peace of mind!"
"My servant thinks that Master Pushan has always been so low-key, but why is her reputation so famous and so good? It seems that it was already famous before the eldest lady went to the mountain to study painting. If not, the eldest lady would not come to follow her. Studying painting, since she is also a nun and a monk, of course she is also a pure cultivator, so she can feel at ease, but why is she so famous now?"
Yujie said in confusion that her views were somewhat different from Qu Le's. She felt it was fundamentally strange since she entered Yuhui Temple. Master Pushan was notorious for not caring about things and not showing up in front of others. But he has such a great reputation. Where does this reputation come from?
If it's like Master Mingqiu, only a few people know about it, and the most famous one is often the master of Jingxin Temple.
"This Universal Master is so unusual!" This was the conclusion given by Qing'er. Summarizing what Qu Le and Yu Jie said, Qing'er gave the conclusion without hesitation.
After finishing speaking, he was stunned for a moment, and looked at Shao Wanru involuntarily. After following Miss Shao Wu, Qing'er also changed from contempt to respect. They are not ordinary ladies from aristocratic families, they are really weak and useless.
"This Pushan Master is indeed unusual. It seems that nothing has anything to do with her, but she can benefit from it. Qing'er, let people continue to stare at her and pay more attention to her. This one It seems that she doesn’t like Qingxiu so much recently, and she is very quiet and wants to move, but I don’t know how she wants to move!”
Shao Wanru raised his eyes and looked out the window. The scenery outside the window was layered. The last touch of green in summer was slowly receding, and it was gradually dyed with the red color of autumn...
