Chapter 699: I didn’t meet the Bodhisattva in heaven, but I met the Buddha on earth.
Tang Bao looked at the Buddha Heart Orchid swaying in the wind, and then at the kind-looking old lady.
Oh, okay.
She knew.
She didn't meet the Bodhisattva in heaven, but she met the Buddha on earth.
Shi Liu stood beside Tang Bao and exclaimed in surprise: "Miss, this chive flower..." Why does it look so familiar?
"What chives?" The nanny interrupted Shi Liu with an unhappy look on her face. "This is the Buddha's Heart Orchid that our old lady raises! It's so rare in the world! Our young master found it specially as a birthday gift for the old lady!"
The way the nanny looked at Shi Liu was as if Shi Liu had defiled the pot of Buddha's orchid by saying "leek flower".
So, Shi Liu didn't have time to say "Why does it look so familiar?"
Shi Liu was naturally unconvinced. Just as she was about to say that she had watered these flowers before, Tang Bao said, "Sister Shi Liu, please help Mammy carry the flowers to the carriage."
Respecting the elderly and loving the young is a virtue!
"Yes, miss."
Shi Liu agreed and was about to help when the nanny quickly hugged the flowerpot tightly.
It's like holding your own grandson, and he's the only one in nine generations.
"No, thank you Miss Su for your trouble. Although I am old, my legs and feet are still nimble."
As the nanny spoke, she looked at Shi Liu warily.
He looked as if he was afraid that Shi Liu would snatch it away.
Pomegranate:"……"
Isn’t it just a pot of chives?
She was casual at first, carrying a basin in each hand.
Shi Liu couldn't help but gave the nanny a look of contempt.
Mammy: “…”
What's that look in this girl's eyes?
I haven't encountered this kind of look in my life.
Even those ladies who were granted imperial titles did not put on airs when they saw me!
When Tang Bao saw Shi Liu and Ma Ma performing a sword fight with their eyes, she couldn't help but feel a headache.
"Sister Pomegranate, please step back." Tang Bao said.
After hearing what Tang Bao said, Shi Liu immediately remembered that they were outside, not in Daliushu Village.
I can't lose face for the young lady!
So, Shi Liu folded his hands in front of him, lowered his head, bowed, and stepped back.
She looked like a well-behaved maid from a wealthy family.
Tang Bao ignored the nanny, looked up at the old lady, and put on an appropriate smile on her face.
Neither humble nor arrogant, yet very likable.
Oh! This is a golden thigh! A golden thigh!
Can't offend!
Should I hold it myself or should I hold it?
Tang Bao felt a little conflicted.
But she said in a crisp voice: "The old lady is blessed with great fortune, and her grandson's filial piety is commendable. She is a model of the world..."
You still have to praise the flattery.
In particular, we should highlight the little brother's filial piety.
I just don’t know how my second and third whites are doing now?
The old lady looked at the little girl in front of her, blinking her big clear eyes and chattering with her little mouth, saying the words she had heard countless times in the capital. Why did she feel so comfortable?
When I heard these words in the past, I just felt bored and thought it would be better to read the scriptures a few times.
Listening to it now, it sounds very pleasant.
Indeed, the little girl had no intentions, was simple-minded, and spoke the truth, so it made people feel comfortable listening to her.
Forget it, just give it to me.
The old lady couldn't help but take a look at the Buddhist beads that were rolled into two strings, and secretly advised herself not to continue regretting it.
Tang Bao patted Mr. Lafayette until he felt comfortable, then said goodbye and went to his carriage.
Then, I realized later that——
The Empress Dowager's carriage and the carriage of the girl called Bai were both ordinary carriages with green curtains.
His own carriage, parked behind the two carriages, was luxurious and elegant.
These two carriages were beaten into pieces!
Tang Bao: “…”
I'm a little hesitant to ride in such a gorgeous carriage.
Tang Bao thought so and got on the carriage swiftly.
Alas! My new carriage is still more comfortable.
As soon as Shi Liu got on the car, he let out a sigh of relief and relaxed his whole body.
I've just been acting like a maid outside and listening to the young lady fooling people. I'm really tired.
"Miss, that nanny is so ignorant." Shi Liu used the tone of a country bumpkin to secretly retort the nanny: "It's just a pot of flowers, she treats it like a treasure..."
Tang Baodang did not tell Shi Liu that what she was growing was not leek flowers, but Buddha orchids.
So, Pomegranate always thought that it was wild chive flowers.
Although I heard from my nanny that it is Buddha Heart Orchid, which is rare in the world.
Pomegranate didn't care either.
After all, the young lady was just raised for fun in the beginning.
Especially when it was windy and rainy, she was often asked to move out to get wet in the rain and feel the wind.
In the young lady's words, flowers grown in this way are - hardy!
Although, whenever this happened, the steward Wang in the mansion always looked heartbroken.
"Sister Pomegranate, let's not say such things anymore in the future." Tang Bao said in a gentle voice, "Mammy is so old, it's okay if she doesn't have any experience. We have to be understanding."
The most important thing is that we can't afford to offend them.
I'm afraid the Emperor would have to give some face to the capable nanny beside the Empress Dowager.
Tang Bao would never say that it was Pomegranate who was ignorant and mistook orchid for leek.
Because, that's how she was at the beginning.
"I understand, Miss." Shi Liu said magnanimously, "Let's not argue with her."
Tang Bao's mouth twitched.
"By the way, Miss, do you think that white girl is strange?" Shi Liu suddenly asked as if he remembered something.
"What's wrong?"
"Didn't you notice? She didn't even take off her veil while sitting in the carriage." Shi Liu frowned and said, "Even wealthy families have many rules, but they wouldn't do this, right?"
Tang Bao nodded.
Of course not!
Unless there is some compelling reason.
The granddaughter of the Empress Dowager Cixi must be a daughter of a noble family.
What reason is there to force a princess to be afraid to see people?
Tang Bao remembered the smell of medicine.
There are Scrophularia, Honeysuckle...
Tang Bao frowned and thought for a while.
Then, he looked down at the Buddhist beads on his wrist.
Suddenly I felt that these Buddhist beads became more noble.
This is something the Empress Dowager has worn before the Buddha for ten years...
She refused the jade bracelet and ended up receiving a string of Buddhist beads.
So, I threw away a sesame seed and got a big watermelon?
Well, it turns out that I have good vision!
Tang Bao secretly gave herself a thumbs up.
Shi Liu's gaze also fell on the Buddhist beads.
"Miss, what kind of wood are these Buddhist beads made of? Why are they white?" Pomegranate asked curiously, "This is the first time I've seen white wood."
Tang Bao: "...Actually, this is the first time I've seen it too."
As for whether the master and servant were both ignorant, Tang Bao decided to ignore it.
"I wonder if there's any white wood like this on Phoenix Mountain?" Tang Bao stroked his Buddhist beads and said, "If there is, it would be great to make some furniture, like a dressing table or a wardrobe..."
At this time, the old lady in the carriage in front was also talking about Buddhist beads.
"Empress Dowager, why did you give your Buddhist beads to a little girl you met by chance?" the nanny asked in a puzzled voice. "Those are white sandalwood Buddhist beads. I'm afraid there's only one of their kind in the world."
Not to mention, it was carved and consecrated personally by the previous abbot of Tianlong Temple.
As for white sandalwood alone, I'm afraid there is no more in the world.
Because the last piece of sandalwood that had been preserved in Tianlong Temple for a thousand years was carved into that string of Buddhist beads.
