Chapter 314
~ THERE ARE TOO MANY BUDDHIST SCRIPTURES TO COPY ~
It didn’t take long before the Eldest Madam sent someone to send over a thick stack of 20 scrolls of the Buddhist scriptures she has to copy .
Jin Lan and Jin Qiao then carried the scriptures back to the hall . “Miss, isn’t the Eldest Madam bullying others? Each scroll of Buddhist scriptures is so thick, how could Miss able to finish copying it?”
Today was August 16th . There were still eight days until Old Master Su’s death date . Copied these Buddhist scriptures could last longer than half a month, not to mention sending them to Baohua Temple two days earlier . Wasn’t this blatantly forcing people?
Mu Yunyao walked over to the table and lightly brushed the Buddhist scripture surface with her finger . Her white fingertips instantly stained with a speck of dust, “Eldest Aunt really put in a lot of effort by helping me prepare ink and brush . By the way, she should prepare more candlelight . With so many Buddhist scriptures, I’m afraid we’ll have to work hard for a few days . ”
“Miss, are you sure you want to copy it?” Jin Qiao was so surprised . If she finished copying it in a few days, wouldn’t her hands be exhausted?
“What should be copied naturally needs to be copied . ” Mu Yunyao had a light smile on her face as if she didn’t care about these things at all .
Jin Qiao felt considerably unfair . “The Eldest Madam has made it clear that she is s trying to make things difficult for you, Miss . In just a few days, you have to copy twenty scrolls of the Buddhist scripture . If you can’t finish copying it, the Eldest Madam will say that you have no filial piety . ”
Mu Yunyao raised her eyes and looked over . “It seems like we’re really training people here . It’s only been a short period of time, but jin Qiao has grown quite a bit . ”
Jin Qiao blushed slightly . “Miss actually dared to tease me . Although it hasn’t been long, this servant has understood quite a lot of things . ”
Mu Yunyao’s interest piqued, “Then tell me, what did you understand?”
Jin Qiao looked around and found that there were no other outsiders . She then said, “Although this servant’s words are a bit displeasing to the ears, they are all what this servant’s thoughts in her heart . If I’m wrong, please forgive me . ”
“If I told you to say it, then you can say it boldly . ”
“This servant feels that the Su family is always treating Miss with unkind and no good intentions . ” Jin Qiao was indignant . “It was clearly the Su family brought Madam and Miss over first, but after they did, not only did they not care, they even thought of ways to make things difficult for us . Just now, if it wasn’t for the fact that Miss intimidated w.a.n.g Mama’s son when she went out, who knows how that w.a.n.g Mama’s son will blame Miss for this matter, and people outside will think wildly . You just came to the Capital, and you’re not familiar with anything, yet the Eldest Madam pushed you out . It’s obviously a matter of bad conscience . ”
Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but chuckle softly . “You’re quite smart . ”
“This servant merely doesn’t understand . Aren’t we all family? Even if the Su family didn’t like Miss, they shouldn’t have made things difficult like this . Could it be that Madam just picked it up?”
Jin Qiao’s unintentional words made Mu Yunyao stunned .
Jin Lan couldn’t help but ask, “Miss, what’s the matter with you?”
Mu Yunyao returned to her senses, “It’s nothing . I merely feel that there’s a bit of truth in Jin Qiao’s words . Do you see any similarities between my mother and the Su family?”
Jin Lan and Jin Qiao carefully thought back and shook their heads . “If Miss didn’t say, this servants didn’t notice . If you think carefully, there are really not many similarities . Miss, could it be that you suspect the Su family has found the wrong person?”
Mu Yunyao shook her head slightly, “Let’s talk about this matter slowly . The Su family shouldn’t be able to find the wrong people……”
She subconsciously felt that something was amiss, but she couldn’t figure out what exactly was amiss . She raised her head and saw the Buddhist scripture on the side, then reached out to grab a scroll and placed it on the table . It didn’t matter if there was a conspiracy or a scheme behind it, but the Su family would never succeed this time .
The twenty scrolls that the Eldest Madam sent over were exceptionally long, and it was hard for her to find anything within a short time . Mu Yunyao carefully wrote down page after page and gradually calming her heart down .
Jin Lan helped to grind on one side, and Jin Qiao helped spread the paper . At the start, the two were resentful towards the Eldest Madam’s actions . But when they saw Mu Yunyao’s tranquil expression as she copied the Buddhist scriptures, they couldn’t help but be influenced by her and gradually become indifferent . For a moment, only the sound of pages turning in the room .
Su You walked in with her people and saw Mu Yunyao’s figure sitting upright behind the table . Her slender white fingers were holding the brush . Her breath was steady and quickly copying on the paper . Her lips had a gentle smile, and her eyes were clear and calm . The afterglow of the sunset shone on half of her body through the window grill, making her smile tinged with a golden halo of light, which made her feel some majestic and solemn feeling .
Mu Yunyao heard the sound of footsteps . She finished copying and put down her brush, then raised her head, “Elder Sister Su You, why do you come here?”
Su You immediately turned her head and ordered the servants that followed to wait outside the door . She walked next to Mu Yunyao and looked at the Buddhist scriptures that were copied on her table, “Are you stupid? With so many, if you can’t get all of them done, wouldn’t you be criticized?”
“Don’t worry . Since I’ve started, I’m confident that I’ll be able to finish it . If I can’t finish it, would Elder Sister Su You be willing to help me?”
“My handwriting is different from yours . Otherwise, I would really be able to write a little for you . ” Looking at Mu Yunyao with a gentle expression on her face, Su You unconsciously retracted the thorns in her body .
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to p.r.i.c.k or injure people all the time, but that she had gradually forgotten how to get along with others after spending so much time by herself .
“I’m kidding . It’s just twenty scrolls of Buddhist scriptures . Back then, when Ni Yun Fang was opening, I’m in a hurry to make a lot of clothes and embroidered Ni Yun Beauty Booklet . At that time, it was so busy, but in the end, we are all survived . ”
“Is it fun to open a shop? I know that there is an elegant workshop, a teahouse, a restaurant, and a bookstore in this world . But no matter where it is, I don’t have a chance to see it . . . ” Su You took out a Buddhist scripture that Mu Yunyao had written . As she stroked it, she sat down on a nearby chair and read out the contents that she had copied, “Buddha said, there are eight sufferings in life, birth, old age, illness, death, love, and separation . I wish for a long time, can not beg, can not let go . . . Do you think my parents owed me in my previous life, and that’s why I came to torture them in this life?”
Mu Yunyao waved her hand, indicating for Jin Lan and Jin Qiao to withdraw . She stood up and stretched her wrist, poured a cup of warm water, and placed it on Su You’s hand, “I don’t think so . ”
Su You raised her head, her eyes were slightly red, but no tears were falling, only full of thick bitterness feeling, “Isn’t it so?”
“There is a saying in the Buddhist language that when the origin of the cause came, it would gather, and when it came to an end, it would scatter . You can be born as the child of Second Uncle and Second Aunt can’t be said that it’s the fate of several generations . They have been looking forward to your coming, looking forward to your birth, hoping that you would grow up safe and sound, hoping that you would have a carefree life… Even though your health is not good, and they have to worry a lot about you, with you here, their hopes will not be shattered . Therefore, even if it’s for the many expectations in their hearts, you should still cherish whatever is in front of you . ”
