Chapter 36 Birthmark

Mrs.    pointed to the kang head beside her, and smiled gently: ”Sit down and talk.”

Gu Jiao sat down on the kang, and there was a small table between the two, and a few delicate snacks were placed on the small table.

Mrs.    pushed the dim sum in front of her: ”Are you hungry? Let's eat something first, the fast food will come in a while.”

”Yeah.” After climbing the mountain for so long, Gu Jiao was indeed hungry. Gu Jiao picked a yellow flower-shaped snack.

Gu Jiao is very quiet.

”Is it delicious?” Madam asked her.

”Yeah.” Gu Jiao nodded. Seeing her wife looking at her suspiciously, she paused and said, ”It's better than Li Ji's.”

”What is Li Ji?” Madam asked.

”The best dim sum shop in town.” Gu Jiao said.

Madam is finally relieved now. In fact, she made these dim sums by herself. She would make dim sum to pass the day when she had nothing to do in the house. It is a pity that she has a pair of children. It made her suspect that she did not make it too unpalatable.

Gu Jiao’s eating appearance was not pretended, she really thought it was delicious.

Madam    found a sense of accomplishment in Gu Jiao, and couldn't help but look at Gu Jiao a few more times. There was a birthmark on Gu Jiao's face, which she had just noticed.

What a nice girl, what a pity, Mrs. secretly regrets.

After that, she noticed Gu Jiao's hands again. They were a pair of hands that worked all the year round. The palms of her palms were cocooned and the backs of her hands were staggered with scars.

Mrs.    thought of her daughter. Fortunately, her daughter was born in the Hou Mansion, and she does not have to suffer from the suffering of the people, otherwise she would have to feel bad for herself as a mother.

Gu Jiao sat in his wife’s room for a while, and ate a plate of chestnut cakes into her belly. At this time, the abbot also went back to the temple.

Gu Jiao didn't forget what was going on, and after leaving his wife, she went to the abbot's Buddhist room.

The abbot is a bit older, with a gray beard, but very energetic. He should have been practicing martial arts all year round.

Gu Jiao said concisely: ”...I wonder if the abbot is willing to sell?”

After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for the abbot to answer for a long while. She looked intently and saw the abbot staring at her... face unblinkingly.

Gu Jiao just wanted to ask, is there anything on my face? When I think of it to my lips, doesn't she just have something on her face?

”Abbot?” Gu Jiao reminded.

”Cough cough cough!” The abbot returned to his senses, cleared his throat, and sat upright and said, ”You just said...you want to buy a mountain?”

Gu Jiao: ”Yes.”

Host abbot: ”How old are you this year?”

Ok?

Is this topic turning a bit faster?

”Can't you buy mountains when you are young?” Gu Jiao asked calmly.

”Ah, no, no! Amitabha, don't get me wrong, little donor!” The abbot stood up with one hand and said, ”The meditation master who is in charge of the temple's property has gone out. It will take three or two days to return. It is better for the donor to come back in a few days.”

”Well, I will find a day to come again a year ago.” After Gu Jiao said, she got up and said goodbye.

The abbot’s eyes always follow her birthmark.

Gu Jiao frowned, “Abbot, although I don’t mind what others think of me, you are a monk, and you always stare at other people’s flaws. Isn’t it a bit wrong?”

The abbot hurriedly apologized: ”Old Na is rude, please don't be offended by the little donor!”

After Gu Jiao left, the abbot still recovered for a long time.

A disciple stepped forward and asked: ”Abbot, what's the matter with you?”

”I remembered one thing,” the abbot said.

”What's the matter?” the disciple asked.
