Chapter 137 Chapter 137

"You also take care of your bones." ——I didn't tell the truth, but I didn't tell a lie. The prince came back tomorrow, and he couldn't catch anyone. The truth is: the small building where Miss Mingyue lived was set on fire by her wife, and there was not a single piece of clothes left. When she left, she didn't even have a suitcase in her hand, and she only had a dirty thin cashmere coat on her body. It was the middle of the night, she came out from the palace, and she couldn't go to Nan's family to bother her, so she stood at the gate of Ci'en Temple not far from her home until it was dark and the little monk came out to clean.Her hair was messed up, one cheek was swollen, her muscles were stiff from the cold for several hours, and she couldn't speak. The little novice took her into the meditation room and asked the master to come out.The old monk knew her since she was a child, and was surprised to see her in such a mess. After serving hot tea and snacks, Mingyue gained strength after eating something in a warm place. She lowered her head and said in a trembling voice: " Thank you Master."

The night before, separated by several courtyard walls, the old monk woke up in the middle of the night and saw the flames of the opposite palace. Should I contact the little prince?" She thought about it and shook her head. "What do you plan to do?" "...Master, can you lend me some silver dollars? I want to find a place to settle down first, and I can return it right away."

A couple lived opposite the door and sold tofu at Xiaonanmen. The landlord lived in the south room. When it was warmer, I hung out the cage I raised.

Mingyue bought coal and started a stove in her room to keep warm. At first she couldn't do it well, but after a while she figured out the trick: put the coal at the bottom, stack firewood on top, and put paper and hay on top of the firewood.The things on the top are easy to ignite, and when the temperature rises, the firewood and coals below are slowly ignited, and the fire will start.She eats very simple breakfast, just hot water for biscuits. There is a teachers’ cafeteria in the school, and lunch and dinner are provided for free every day.She bought a beautiful, undamaged cotton skirt and a few scarves in a thrift store, washed them with hot water at home, and wore them to school.
