The nunnery was not a bustling place like the market, he felt bored after just a few glances.

Qingyun Temple had been around for some time. The bricks and tiles were simple and old, showing traces of erosion by time.

There were many green mosses growing on the blue stone slabs in the corners of the walls, which would become slippery on rainy days.

Su Xiaoxiao entered the entrance of the nunnery.

A young nun who was sweeping the courtyard looked up at them and said, “Benefactor*, are you here to offer incense?”

*benefactor : term used by a monk to address a layperson.

Su Xiaoxiao took out a letter from her pocket and said, “I’m looking for Abbess Huijue. An old friend surnamed Fu asked me to bring something to her. This is the letter from that old friend. After reading it, Abbess Huijue will know who it is.”

“Oh…… Benefactor, please wait a moment.” The young nun put down the broom, took the letter, walked through the hall, and went to the meditation room in the back row.

In a moment, she turned back and said to Su Xiaoxiao, “Benefactor, please come inside.”

In a meditation room, Su Xiaoxiao met a nun who was about the same age as Aunt Fu.

It was unknown if it was because she was a monk, but she looked very serene and gentle.

“Abbess Huijue.” Su Xiaoxiao greeted.

Abbess Huijue sat at the table side, she put down Aunt Fu’s letter and gave Su Xiaoxiao a gentle and kind glance, saying, “Benefactor Su, please sit down.”

Su Xiaoxiao sat down opposite her.

Su Xiaoxiao was not surprised that she would call her surname, it must have been mentioned by Aunt Fu in the letter.

Abbess Huijue smiled and said, “Did Ting Lan ask you to come here? How has she been doing this year?”

Ting Lan?

Was it Aunt Fu’s name?

It sounded really nice.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “I just got to know Aunt Fu not long ago. I can’t say how she was for the past year, but she has been doing well for the last two months…… She accidentally broke her leg at her home before the new year, but her leg has recovered now.”

Abbess Huijue shook her head and said, “I just know that she would only write good news instead of the bad ones! Is she really okay?”

“Well, she’s recovering really well.” Su Xiaoxiao said.

She was indeed recovering well, her splint would be removed in half a month, and her blood pressure was under control. Her relationship with her neighbors was harmonious.

Aunt Fu was living a very comfortable life now.

Abbess Huijue looked at Su Xiaoxiao gently, and she could feel from the other person’s expression that Ting Lan was doing well.

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t stay in the meditation room for too long. She talked about the recent situation of Aunt Fu and handed the health pills that Aunt Fu had instructed her to bring over to Abbess Huijue.

After Abbess Huijue accepted it, she wrote a reply letter for Aunt Fu and asked several young nuns to fetch several large sacks, full of things.

Su Xiaoxiao opened it and took a look.

Oh my god, they were all top quality tea leaves and dry goods!

Could it be that all of Aunt Fu’s good things came from Abbess Huijue?

Then a new question arose, how did Abbess Huijue, who had been living in the deep mountains for a long time, obtained so many top quality tea leaves and dry goods?

She always felt that this abbess was not simple……

Abbess Huijue also gave Su Xiaoxiao a bag of tea leaves.

Su Xiaoxiao should not stay for long and had to rush back to the inn. After thanking Abbess Huijue, she said goodbye to her.

Abbess Huijue suddenly felt reluctant and said, “Actually, it’s already getting late. If you don’t mind, you can stay overnight in the nunnery, benefactor Su.”

The young nuns in the room were so shocked that they opened their mouths wide.

Did the Abbess actually let a benefactor stay overnight?

You obviously didn’t even want to see any worshippers!

If Su Xiaoxiao was alone, she wouldn’t have minded, but Su Ergou and Shopkeeper Sun couldn’t stay in the nunnery, she couldn’t leave Su Ergou behind.

“I apologize, I went up the mountain with my younger brother and a shopkeeper.”

Su Xiaoxiao expressed her refusal politely.

Abbess Huijue understood and no longer insisted. She just said to Su Xiaoxiao, “Benefactor Su, if you come to Fucheng next time, could you come to visit me again?”

Su Xiaoxiao was a little surprised.

She replied, “Okay.”

——

Su Xiaoxiao left Abbess Huijue’s courtyard.

Before leaving, she left a box of snacks made by herself for Abbess Huijue.

Su Ergou and Shopkeeper Sun went somewhere, and Su Xiaoxiao didn’t see them. Instead, she saw an unexpected…… acquaintance.
