Chapter 499 Eight Pairs of Silver Bracelets

Though having been in the Yuhui Nunnery for a long time, Shao Wanru had never met this Pushan Nun. On the one hand, the nun basically didn’t deal with this kind of thing. She only focused on Buddhism and seldom went out in her daily life. On the other hand, Shao Wanru did not go out either, and she almost stayed in the back of the Yuhui Nunnery.

Most pilgrims were also forbidden in that place.

Since Pushan Nun had accepted the mission this time, she would definitely be there, because today was the first day to lay Buddha’s offerings.

When Shao Wanru arrived at the Buddha Hall, the servant girls and old maids of Duke Xing’s Mansion were busy with their work. There were seven or eight people. They were all stunned when they saw Shao Wanru. After Yujie said that this was the Fifth Miss, they all stepped back politely.

Fifth Miss had no parents in the mansion, and she was not favored by Old Madam. However, Fifth Miss had a noble grandmother, who would not stand by to watch Fifth Miss being bullied. If she made trouble, Old Madam would not be able to stand it!

Shao Wanru entered the hall with Yujie and saw Pushan Nun in the main hall.

Pushan Nun seems to be in her mid-forties. She was very beautiful and had the same kind of elegance as Shao Wanru. Even though she dressed in plain clothes, she also had a kind of softness that was condensed over the years, which made people feel relaxed.

Her beautiful hair had long been shaved clean. Even so, the impression she left on Shao Wanru was different from those from the other Nuns. There were wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, but they can still show her beauty before. Not only was she beautiful, but if she was in the nuns’ group, she could still be seen at first glance. Even if she stood together with Mingqiu Nun, who had the outstanding looking, no one would ignore her existence.

She was a Miss from an aristocratic family. She had no choice but to enter the nunnery because of coming down in the world. However, her temperament was still very different from those of ordinary people.

Anyone who saw her would admire this Pushan Nun that she was indeed a Miss from a century-old aristocratic family.

Huiqing, standing next to Pushan Nun, had already seen Shao Wanru. She was stunned first, and then she quickly whispered something to Pushan Nun who closed her eyes meditatively.

Pushan Nun nodded slightly. She opened her eyes and looked at Shao Wanru calmly.

“I will have to trouble you this time, Master Pushan!” Shao Wanru came over and greeted her with a smile. Her eyes were bright as she saluted sideways.

Master Pushan smiled and made a bow with her hands clasped in front. “Fifth Miss Shao, you are too polite!”

Then, she closed her eyes again and lowered her head. The Buddha beads glided in her hands slowly and she continued to recite scriptures.

“Fifth Miss Shao, if you have anything to ask, you can tell me. Master usually does not react to affairs.” Huiming smiled at Shao Wanru kindly.

Huiqing lowered her head and began to recite scriptures along with Pushan Nun.

Shao Wanru asked in a low voice, “Sorry to trouble you, Pushan Nun. Will you come here every day to recite scriptures? When will you come?”

“Master will bring us here every day, but the time is not settled,” Huiming said with a smile.

“Sorry to trouble you all!” Shao Wanru said and walked to the Buddha statue in the middle. Huiming followed her with her hands folded slightly and said with a smile, “Fifth Miss Shao, if you think there is something placed in an inappropriate way, you can place it again after telling me.”

“Is there a different way of placement?” Shao Wanru looked curiously at the things placed by several servant girls and old maids.

Most of them were pastries and fruits, and some offerings were cloths, and other things were like small houses and pavilions.

They were exquisitely made and placed according to certain standards.

“Yes, it’s different. First Miss chose one at will before, but if Fifth Miss is not satisfied with it, you can choose again to put them in a different way.”

Huiming took out a book-like object from behind the Buddha statue. Opening it, one could see the different ways to place offerings. Moreover, there were also special names with blessing words, and they were all very good names.

Shao Wanru saw the topmost one. Indeed, it was the pattern that was placed right now. It was also the simplest one, so obviously Shao Yanru had pointed it casually.

What surprised Shao Wanru the most was that the paintings of the placement. They were excellent and could even be said to be perfect.

“When First Miss Shao visited Fifth Miss last time, she also visited Master by the way. At that time, she mentioned this matter, so Master asked me to show First Miss this album. First Miss didn’t look at it carefully and just pointed out the placement on the top. She also said that if Fifth Miss is not satisfied with it, you could choose another one.”

Huiming explained with a smile.

Shao Wanru flipped down a few pages. Indeed, every following piece was more exquisite than the one on the top. And the placement was more beautiful too, and it immediately outdid the one on the top.

It was clear which one was better!

Shao Wanru flipped through a few more pages, and finally chose the most outstanding one in the album. It was obviously the best placement and the name “Ten Blessings As You Wish” was also good!

Huiming had been following her all the time. When she saw that Shao Wanru turned to this page again, she knew that Shao Wanru was very satisfied with this one, and immediately said with a smile, “Fifth Miss, you have good taste. This one is indeed the best. If you choose this, I will arrange it. There are many people from your mansion, so it will be very fast to rearrange these things!”
