Ancient Buddhist Life

After a few days of getting used to it, the three of Zixuan gradually got used to the life in the academy, and they no longer needed Hu Ziyi to pick them up and send them to school every day.

"Brother, go get busy. We made an appointment with Xiao Huzi and the others to go to school together. We really don't need you to see them off." The three who had already made an appointment to play firecrackers together today refused to be seen by the elder brother. go to school.

Hu Ziyi didn't force it, and told them not to be playful on the road, and to go to school for morning reading.

After waving goodbye to their eldest brother, the three of them grabbed their schoolbags and ran out of the gate, meeting Xiao Huzi and the others who had been waiting at the corner for a long time.

"Hu Zixuan, why are you three so slow? We have been waiting for a long time." The chubby little boy in brocade asked impatiently.

"It's getting late, let's go. We brought a lot of firecrackers, and when we come to compete during the lunch break, whose voice will be louder." The big-hearted Zi Xuan didn't notice that the child in front of him was not a little tiger, so he said carelessly.

"Okay, we've prepared a lot. First, let's say that the loser must promise to win." Thinking of what his father kept telling him not to forget before leaving the house, the little fat man Mao Lin rolled his eyes and said.

"It's a deal." Confident that he would not lose to Zixuan, he clapped hands with the fat little Maolin.

After finishing what his father told him, little fat Mao Lin left with his little follower.

Glancing at the silent little Huzi beside him, Hu Zixuan asked suspiciously: "Little Huzi, who is that person? Why didn't you leave with them."

"He's the young master of the Mao family, and I'm not on the same side. He said he wanted to ask you for something just now, so I brought them here together. I thought you knew each other because you were so happy with what you said just now." The little tiger scratched his head and looked at him in confusion.

"I don't know him, I thought he was your friend. Forget it, let's go to school quickly, or the master will slap his palm again when it's too late." Thinking of the sour feeling, Zi Xuan felt a dull pain in his hand.

The few people who had been beaten before trembled unconsciously, and rushed towards the academy.

Finally, before the bell rang, the few breathless entered the academy, and before they had time to rest for a while, they saw the masters coming from the opposite side.

A few people immediately dispersed and ran to their seats. As soon as their buttocks touched the chairs, the master came in with a cane and a book.

Looking at the children who were reviewing their homework, Master Tan stroked his beard in relief, and said, "That's right, everyone stopped for a break, I have something to announce."

Seeing that the master had something to say, the children who were lying in ambush raised their heads to listen.

"Today there are new friends joining you. I am very happy, Master. I hope you can help them more in the future." Unexpectedly, the young master of the Mao family, Mr. Tan, who will come to the academy to study, was incoherent with excitement road.

"Yes, Master."

Master Tan nodded, and said towards the door, "Come in, Mao Lin."

Mao Lin, who was wearing brocade, walked in with an indifferent expression, glanced at Hu Zixuan who was waving to him, and said in a flat tone: "My name is Mao Lin, please give me more advice in the future."

As for the children who followed him in, they didn't have the same treatment. Mrs. Tan asked courteously, "Maolin, where do you want to sit?"

Looking around, Mao Lin pointed to the seat next to Hu Zixuan, and said, "Sit there."

"Okay, Mao Lin, sit there and wait, and I'll help you get the book and give it to you later." Master Tan, who wanted to hug the Mao family's thigh, did everything by himself without the help of others.

"Yeah." Mao Lin, who was used to seeing him for a long time, glanced at him lightly, then strode over to Hu Ziyi and sat down.

After Maolin was arranged to sit down, Master Tan arranged the seats for the other children casually, and then left to collect books for Maolin.

"Hey, Maolin, what does your family do? Mr. Tan treats you so kindly. You don't know that he is usually fierce, and it hurts especially when he hits his palm." Hu Zixuan, who was familiar with him, said with a smile.

"Stupid!" Mao Lin, who secretly complained in his heart, looked at him and said nothing.

"Why don't you talk, just now we agreed to play firecrackers together during the lunch break, you don't remember." Although Mao Lin ignored him, Hu Zixuan still approached him cheekily to talk to him.

Mao Lin, who was so annoyed, lazily echoed, "Remember, I hope you don't forget our bet."

"Understood, I always keep my word, so don't worry!"

"Ah."

The two who couldn't go on chatting stared at each other for a long time, and then went to play with others.

"Zixuan, what did you chat with Maolin just now, you had such a happy chat." Little Huzi asked while twirling the spinning top.

"It's nothing, I just talked about playing firecrackers." Seeing that the little tiger was playing vigorously, Zi Xuan also took out his spinning top and started playing.

Xiao Huzi shook his head, looked at Hu Ziyi, who was having a good time, and thought to himself: Who in the town is not discussing the Mao family recently, only Hu Zixuan doesn't care about these things, so he doesn't know anything about it.

Zixuan, who would find it boring to play alone, looked up and saw the little tiger thinking about something.

"What are you thinking, let's compete together." Pushing the little tiger, Zi Xuan said while shaking the spinning top.

"Stop playing, you really don't know about the Mao family?"

"The Mao family? I haven't heard of it. How about I go home and ask my elder brother after school." I don't understand why he always asks himself whether he knows the Mao family.

"It seems that you really don't know. Let me tell you, the news about the Mao family has spread all over the town." Xiao Huzi glanced at him proudly, unexpectedly he was not as curious as he thought.

"is it?"

Little Huzi, who was hopeful that he was no longer there, said: "The ancestor of the Mao family was one of the founding elders of the dynasty. The old general Qi who keeps pace with each other."

Hu Zixuan, who was finally a little interested, asked: "Since the Mao family is a general, why did Mao Lin come to study with us instead of in the capital?"

"I want to know! Come and give me two pieces of candy, and I'll tell you." The little tiger who had been thinking about his candy for a long time stretched out his hand.

"Here." Hu Zixuan, who has never been short of candy, took out a dozen candies and put them in his palm.

Looking at the colorful and crystal-clear candies in his hand, Xiao Huzi couldn't wait to tear off the exquisite candy wrappers, and swallowed the candies into his mouth in one gulp.The sweet strawberry flavor permeated his mouth, and halfway through eating he could feel a sweet and sour jam.I didn't expect this candy to be sandwiched.

The little tiger with his eyes narrowed into a line closed his eyes for a long time before continuing: "Maolin will come to our town. I heard that he returned to the hometown with his parents to recognize his ancestors. I heard My parents said that his father is a man of ours who served in the army in the countryside and joined the Song family. His father was recently transferred back to the capital from the frontier, and he specially came to pick up the family and go to the capital to live a good life together. "

"I see. No wonder Mr. Tan is so attentive to him. Have you seen how he behaves today?" Thinking of this Mr. Tan who has been taking advantage of his family, Zixuan hated him very much.

"I see, he is a bad person who talks about people when he sees people, and talks nonsense when he sees people." Little Huzi also doesn't like this master who sees highs and lows.

"Hey..." The two met each other and smiled.

Mr. Tan, who came from a distance with a book, saw the two people having fun outside the door, and said with a stern face, "Hu Zixuan, Zhang Yuhu, you two are not reviewing your homework inside, what are you doing here?"

Startled, the two hurriedly stood up and returned to their seats, picked up the book on the table and read it carefully.

Mr. Tan, who was too lazy to argue with them, changed his fierce look just now, and came to Maolin with a smile on his face, and put the book on his desk.

"Mao Lin, this is your book. If you find anything you are not familiar with, you can ask me at any time." Master Tan, who was eager to confess Mao Lin, said flatteringly.

"Well, thank you, Master." Mao Lin, who looked down on him in his heart, responded coldly.

The indifferent Mao Lin didn't hurt Mr. Tan who was full of enthusiasm. He continued with a smile: "Class is about to start, so I'll be busy first. Remember to come to me if you need anything."

Mao Lin pretended not to hear, and chatted happily with Hu Zixuan beside him.Mrs. Tan, who was a little embarrassed, gave Hu Zixuan a sullen look, and left reluctantly.

"Maolin, you are really amazing, you are the only one who dare to treat Master Tan like this." Hu Zixuan, who admired him so much, gave a thumbs up.

"You can do it too! I heard that your elder brother is very powerful. Not only will he cook delicious food, but he will also open a very popular shop." Mao Lin, who had known the Hu family's situation clearly for a long time, was a little Said enviously.

Hu Zixuan, who usually looks carefree, actually has a lot of money in his heart, but he is more playful, too lazy to use his brain, and there is an older brother at home, so he can just be a salted fish with peace of mind.

But today, Maolin kept getting close to him again and again, and asked about the situation of his family. Zixuan kept a thought in his heart and said, "Maolin, I heard that you just came to Fuxi Town, why are you so kind to my family's situation?" learn?"

Looking at the defensive Hu Zixuan, Mao Lin smiled without changing his face and said: "Who in Fuxi Town doesn't know that Hu Zixuan, the master who can cure all kinds of diseases, is a celebrity in the town. It is said that Fuxi Town has a radius of tens of miles." Every town in town knows your shop."

Zixuan, who heard what he said was quite reasonable, felt that he might be overthinking, after all, how could the members of General Mao's family be interested in country people like them!

After getting rid of his worries, Zixuan said excitedly: "My elder brother is amazing. Not only is he good at cooking, but he also makes a lot of toys for us to play with. Look, this is a spinning top. It's very fun. Do you want to try it?" , I can borrow you to play."

Mao Lin, who grew up in rich clothes and well-fed food, had never seen the thing in his hand, so he picked it up curiously and played with it for a while.

Seeing that he couldn't put it down, Zixuan was even more happy, saying: "After school is over, I will teach you how to spin the top, it's more fun that way."

"Okay." Mao Lin, who was still a little conflicted in his heart, suddenly felt that what his father said might be right. They are all very good people and shouldn't be difficult to get along with.
