Ancient Buddhist Life

When Hu Ziyi first arrived in the capital, Hu Ziyi stayed up all night. In his mind, Hu Yilai's look of confidence, the scene of the prime minister's mansion being overthrown overnight, the scene of family separation, and the scene of Grandma Shen repeatedly preventing Shen Yan from stepping into the capital repeatedly flashed through his mind.

Hu Ziyi couldn't help wondering whether he was being too arbitrary in sticking to his own opinion and bringing his family to the capital, and whether he could win a place in this cannibalistic capital and let those who trust him live happily.

"Cluck, cluck!" The cock crowed, interrupting Hu Ziyi's thoughts, he sat up and looked out the window, there was already a figure shaking outside the yard.

Hu Ziyi laughed at himself in a low voice: "It's still suitable for Xianyu to make money. As for those troublesome things, I'd better leave them to Huaying."

After Hu Ziyi comforted himself, he came to the front hall full of fighting spirit, and met Hua Ying who was about to go out.

"Going out so early, is there something urgent?"

Huaying took the horsewhip that Butler Mao handed over, and said with a smile: "A letter from the palace, the Holy Majesty called urgently."

Hu Ziyi was thinking about Uncle Zhou, and wanted to talk to Huaying, but he didn't expect that the boss in the palace summoned him early in the morning.

Huaying saw that Hu Ziyi seemed to have something to tell her, but the emperor's order was hard to break, and he had to go to the palace to report on his duties after leaving Beijing for a long time.

Time was running out, Huaying suppressed the words of concern, and said: "Zi Yi, there are many interesting places in the capital, after you finish your work, you can take Zi Xin and the little ones to the streets together with Uncle Mao. Let them get acquainted with it, and they will go to school in the future, and it will be difficult for them to go out to play until Xiumu."

"Okay, hurry up and go!" Hu Ziyi urged Huaying to leave quickly, fearing that he would offend her if he was late.

"Let's go." Huaying said as she quickly stepped onto the back of the horse that had already been waiting at the door, whipped the horse and ran towards the palace gate at high speed.

Steward Mao sent his young master away and asked his servants to serve breakfast. He personally served it to Hu Ziyi, "Master Hu, do you plan to visit the restaurant or the shop first after a while?"

Hu Ziyi ate, thought for a while and said, "Is that closer?"

"The two locations are about the same distance from the other courtyard, but one is south and the other is north, and they are not in the same place."

"In this case, I will go to the restaurant first, and then go to the shop. I am going to take a few younger brothers with me. I wonder how convenient it is for Steward Mao?"

Hu Ziyi originally planned to have a quick fight with Steward Mao, but Huaying's reminder changed his mind. After the restaurant and shop were bought, he would spend time redecorating them. By then, he might not have the time Take a few little ones out to play.

Butler Mao replied with a smile: "It's convenient, just a few young masters can also help to give advice, and after viewing the shop, I will take them to watch juggling on South Street. There will be an exchange meeting there these days." , it’s very lively, let’s all go for a walk together, the old man and I also have the honor of Master Hu, so go over there to broaden our horizons.”

"Butler Mao was joking, it's the juniors who bothered you."

Hu Ziyi hadn't seen the younger ones get up after breakfast, so he had to go to the backyard to wake them up by himself.

"Little lazy pigs, get up."

Hu Ziyi teased the three sleepy brothers whose noses were bubbling, watched them all open their eyes like twists and turns, and said, "I'm awake, do you want my brother to help you get dressed?"

"No, we will."

Hu Zixuan took the clothes beside the bed with some embarrassment, and put them on with a blushing face. After he finished dressing himself, he even helped his two younger brothers put on their clothes.

The three brothers were neatly dressed, Hu Zixin hugged Hu Ziyi's leg shamelessly, and said coquettishly, "Brother, I want you to wash me up, but you haven't helped me for a long time."

Hu Ziyi nodded Zixin's nose, "Little slacker, I'll just cuddle with you for a while today, and I may still be like this in the future, otherwise it will make people laugh when I go to school."

"Brother, is it true that you want to send me to school? Are you with the second and fourth brothers?"

Hu Zixin went to a school for a period of time when he was in his hometown. At that time, the three brothers met Maolin in the school. Unfortunately, because of Hu Yilai's arrival, many things happened at home. The three brothers stayed at home for a long time. Hearing that the eldest brother actually said that he would send them to school, Zi Xin asked again and again, afraid that he had heard it wrong.

"Really, big brother has always kept his word. It was a last resort to hold you back some time ago. Now that everything is over, naturally we have to continue going to school." Hu Ziyi patted Zixin's head and comforted him.

"Great, my brothers and I can go to school together again."

Hu Zixin bouncingly held the hands of Hu Zixuan and Hu Zitong, shaking them non-stop.

The three of them quarreled together for a long time before they stopped. Hu Ziyi brought a few little monkeys to Hu Zifen's room. At this moment, she was already awake, sitting on the bed alone, thinking about something.

"Zifen, what are you thinking?"

Hu Ziyi has an inescapable responsibility for what happened to her in his heart, and he is more tolerant of her than his younger brothers. After all, this child was infected with dreaming syndrome due to his own negligence, and he only hopes that after everything is stable, he can help her get rid of this harmful habit completely. thing.

Hu Zifen looked up at Hu Ziyi, then lowered his head and said, "Brother, I feel uncomfortable, I don't want to take Yingxingcao anymore, I want my brother to help me quit it, I want to be a normal person, not a person who will go crazy anytime, anywhere madman!"

"Okay, after it's settled down, big brother asks the genius doctor Hua to help diagnose and treat it, and let's work together to defeat it, shall we?"

Hu Zifen clasped his fingers, and said in a soft voice: "Thank you brother, I really didn't mean to say that day, I didn't want to blame brother, I just didn't want my third sister to leave, she loved me since she was a child, I couldn't bear her to go."

"It's okay, brother understands, don't blame yourself, did you drink the medicine, today brother took you a few children to go shopping in the street, I heard from Butler Mao that the street is very lively, and there are people from other lands participating in exchanges here Yes, how about we go and see together?"

"I won't go, it will embarrass my brothers if I go." Hu Zifen was a little afraid that he would lose control on the street, even if he really wanted to go, he would insist on refusing.

Hu Ziyi patted the top of her head lightly, and said, "It's okay, I asked Granny Shen to carry the medicine with me, and when you feel bad, drink some and you'll be fine."

In the end, the desire to go out still prevailed, Hu Zifen nodded, "Thank you, brother, I'll go."

"Hey, get up and clean yourself up. After Grandma Shen comes back with the medicine, go to the front hall with her for breakfast. I'll take my brothers to go first, and you hurry up too?"

"Well, I see."

The stone in his heart fell to the ground, and Hu Zifen no longer looked lifeless, but looked more lively.

Seeing that Hu Zifen started to tidy up himself, it was not easy for Hu Ziyi to stay with his younger brothers. After all, men and women are different, and we should pay attention to the more taboo places.

The four of them were in the corridor, and when they met Granny Shen carrying medicine and breakfast, Hu Ziyi smiled and said, "Zifen promised to go to the front hall to have dinner with everyone, you feed her the medicine, and then come to the front hall together."

"Okay, young master, old lady, I will go and serve Miss Fifth right now. Today is a good day."

Granny Shen hurriedly took the tray, went back to Hu Zifen's room and combed Hu Zifen's hair herself, and led her to the front hall.

Many people were already waiting in the front hall, butler Zhou was the first to bear the brunt and was now outside, waiting for the arrival of his young master.

"Eldest young master, the youngest got up late, and reprimanded after failing to serve, slaves have nothing to say."

Hu Ziyi smiled and said, "What a big deal. Everyone is tired from the journey. Starting today, everyone will rest for three days. You can go out and have a look at the prosperity of the capital. The streets are bustling these days!"

"Thank you sir."

For the three families who came to Beijing with Hu Ziyi, the adults can say that it doesn't matter whether they go out or not, but the children who are half-grown are excited.

Because Grandma Shen would go out with Hu Ziyi, Shen Yan simply followed Hu Zixin directly, and the crowd was more lively.

Before coming to the capital, Grandma Shen didn't want Shen Yan to be exposed to others, but now that she's here, she doesn't care about etiquette, she can't be locked in the courtyard for a lifetime, it's better to go out freely, and Not necessarily those people still remember what the Shen family looked like.

Hu's family, after dinner, the whole family walked directly to North Street to look at restaurants. Along the way, the two sides of the street became more and more prosperous, with various restaurants, gold stores, pharmacies and so on. The eyes can't see it.

"Brother, this place is really beautiful, the store is much bigger than my hometown, and there are many people."

Hu Zixin gestured excitedly, if Hu Ziyi hadn't been holding his hand, he would probably have been flying around like a flying kite.

"Be careful, I like a white and fat boy like you the most when shooting melon seeds outside. You can't let go and run around by yourself, you know?"

Hu Ziyi still has lingering fears about the last time the two were sold out, and he always keeps a few young ones in check when he doesn't go out, fearing that if he is not careful, he will lose them again.

"Got it, big brother."

Hu Zixuan also nodded repeatedly, and said: "Brother is right, younger brothers must be obedient."

"Zixuan, you're so good. I'll go to the South Street later. If you want to buy anything, just tell my elder brother, and my elder brother will buy it for you."

Hu Zixuan laughed happily, "Thank you, big brother, I am also responsible for taking good care of my younger brother."

Butler Mao silently observed how the brothers and sisters of the Hu family got along with each other, and he agreed in his heart: brother respectful and brother humble.

Soon at the corner of the street, there was a deserted teahouse with a sign outside the door, which said sublease, with a monthly rent of 80 taels a month and an annual annuity of 800 taels.

"Master Hu, this store is for sale, can you see if it's suitable?"

After Steward Mao led Hu Ziyi and the others into the teahouse, he ordered a few pots of tea and snacks, settled them down, and then took Hu Ziyi up to the private room on the second floor to meet the shopkeeper of the teahouse.

"Butler Mao, it can be considered that you have come here. I am anxious to go back to my hometown and start again. I wonder if I can deny it today?" The shopkeeper of the teahouse asked anxiously as he poured water for the two of them.

Butler Mao said with a smile, "Don't worry, shopkeeper. Today, Master Hu is in charge. I'm just accompanying the guests, so I just need to drink tea with peace of mind."

"Don't worry, Steward Mao, there's enough tea." While the shopkeeper was speaking, he was also sizing up the young man across the street, seeing that he was young and not very expensive, but it was Butler Mao who brought him here in person. He had to be more cautious.

"Master Hu, at such a young age, he must be a dragon and a phoenix."

Hu Ziyi raised his glass in return, and said: "The shopkeeper is joking, the boy is just supporting his family, so he shouldn't be praised like that."

"Haha, Young Master Hu is being modest."

One old and one young, you came and I went and tested for a long time before signing the contract. The annual rent is [-] taels, and the contract is for three years.
