After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Cheng Zihang set off to return to Sihai Academy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zi Mo looked for him once in private, and asked about the situation of Sihai Academy and Kong Lao's temperament, Cheng Zihang was surprised, but he still told her in detail.
"Kong Lao's temperament is not as strange as outsiders say, everyone in the world loves to listen to rumors, but the rumors start, one spread ten, ten spread hundreds, and in the end, those who can believe can only get one of them. However, if you really want the fifth brother to enter the Four Seas Academy, in the final analysis, you still have to rely on him to win the favor of Kong Lao. ”
"Then how can we make Kong Lao treat Zinuo differently?" Zi Mo hurriedly asked.
"I don't know." Cheng Zihang shook his head, "There are currently a total of seventeen brothers and sisters in the academy, all of whom have different temperaments and family backgrounds, and the only thing that is the same is that everyone was personally brought back to the academy with the approval of Confucius Lao. ”
"Besides, the fifth brother is still young, so you don't have to be too anxious. Although Sihai Academy has a high reputation in the eyes of outsiders, in fact, our students' study life in China is different from other colleges. Confucius stipulated that each person could only bring one scholar at most, and all life had to be taken care of by himself. Moreover, Confucius was very knowledgeable, and his teaching style was also a little different from ordinary people. At the age of the fifth brother, if he entered the Four Seas Academy now, he might not be able to adapt to it. Cheng Zihang said.
Zi Mo nodded, she had also thought about this, and Cheng Zihang made sense. Fortunately, there was still a year left for Iono to move out of the inner courtyard, and she was not too eager, and she still had time to plan and prepare.
"Thank you, big brother." Zi Mo bowed and thanked him. With the same father and different mother, Cheng Zihang can say this to her, which already makes her very grateful.
"You're welcome." Cheng Zihang said, looking at Zi Mo hanging his head slightly, revealing the top of his black hair, he thought about it and said, "Although the gentleman at home is a little old-fashioned, he still has some real skills in knowledge." "It means that Zinuo is not bad to study with the gentleman invited by the family." Before I leave, I will leave some homework for my fifth brother, and I will come back next time to visit him. It means that he will also give some guidance to Zinuo's schoolwork.
"Thank you, big brother." Zi Mo bowed down, and his tone was even more grateful. Behind her, Rushi hurriedly stepped forward, Zi Mo turned her head and took something from her hand, "Time is in a hurry, and I haven't had time to prepare anything for my eldest brother." This is a set of utensils I made for my eldest brother, but it can be used to hold books and pens, the craftsmanship is a little rougher, and I hope that the eldest brother will not mind. After saying that, he handed it over with both hands.
Cheng Zihang took it and opened it to see that it was a cloth bag with a strange shape, sewn with black cotton cloth, and two vigorous and upright green bamboos were embroidered with dark green fine threads on the outside, and a long strap with a moderate width was sewn on both sides of the bag.
Zi Mo raised his eyes to see his expression, then stepped forward and took it again, personally demonstrated it and showed him it.
Cheng Zihang was surprised in his heart, his face was not obvious, but there was a rare smile in his eyes.
When did he, the fifth sister, become so clever and eccentric?

After Cheng Zihang left, Mrs. Tai proposed on a whim to go to Bodhi Temple to worship the Buddha.
It is said to be a whim, but it is not necessarily true.
Since the last time Zi Mo fainted, Mrs. Tai has gradually regained her powers, and the rules of greeting An have gradually been picked up.
Mrs. Tai has always believed in the Buddha, and it happened that the Mid-Autumn Festival was just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather was cool, and she had not been out for a long time, so Mrs. Tai wanted to take this opportunity to go to Bodhi Temple.
The eldest lady would not spoil the interest of the lady, and she should have arranged a trip early, and also took the initiative to propose: "Since you want to go to Bodhi Temple, why don't you take advantage of the good weather in the recent days to take a few children to go together." It is said that the signature of the Bodhi Temple is extremely accurate, and I see that several girls in the family also took this opportunity to ask for a signature for themselves. ”
The eyes of all the young ladies below lit up when they heard this, and even Cheng Zixue, who has always been dignified and generous, and Cheng Zisheng, who was gentle and quiet, all showed expectant little eyes, not to mention Zimo, who had not yet left the Cheng Mansion since he had penetrated here.
In this dynasty, although the women's defense is not strict enough to wear a hat when traveling, it is true that the women of the boudoir are not so casual and frequent.
Therefore, being able to go out, even if it is just to go to the temple with the elders of the family, is also a happy event for the ladies of the boudoir.
When Mrs. Tai heard this, she happily agreed.
Bodhi Temple is a famous temple in the capital, located in the north of the capital, named after a dense Bodhi forest in the backyard of the temple.
The person who is now in charge of the Bodhi Temple is called Elder Kong, and he is the only direct disciple of the abbot of the Bodhi Temple.
Speaking of the abbot of Bodhi Temple, he is another famous person in the current capital who is as famous as Confucius.
The abbot of Bodhi Temple has no name, loves to travel all over the world, his whereabouts are uncertain, and he has a name of host, and all the affairs of the temple are handed over to his junior brother Elder Kong.
But the world worships and admires the nameless abbot, just because of his profound Buddhist attainments, and it is rumored that he can "know the past and know the future". Even today's saints admire its name, but they rarely see it.
Just because the nameless dweller has the words in advance - "Only those who are destined to cross." ”
In this regard, this alone coincides with what Confucius said, "only those who can see the eye".
Zi Mo secretly pondered, no wonder they all said that talented people have their own "weird" tempers.
The carriage did not drive slowly, and soon arrived at the Bodhi Temple.
After getting out of the car, the group followed Mrs. Tai and walked towards the temple on the mountain.
The Bodhi Temple is very large, there are several treasure halls before and after, during which the pilgrims come and go continuously, and there is a faint sandalwood lingering everywhere.
After passing through the Tianwang Hall and coming to the Daxiong Treasure Hall, there were monks who came forward to guide them.
Because he had sent someone to say hello in advance, the young monk waited here, and when he saw Mrs. Tai and her party, he stepped forward and asked, "Amitabha, is the old lady Mrs. Cheng Mansion?" ”
Mrs. Tai folded her hands and saluted, "Exactly." ”
"Mrs. Tai, please come with me, Uncle Shi has something to do for the time being, let me lead a few donors to the backyard wing room to rest and eat." The little monk continued.
"There's a little master Lao."
Zi Mo followed everyone to the Bodhi Temple's special room for pilgrims.
The wing house is built in the backyard of the temple, away from the front yard, and close to the Bodhi Forest behind the temple, the surrounding scenery is pleasant, it is very quiet and peaceful.
The vegetarian dishes of Bodhi Temple are simple but very delicious, the same vegetarian fried eggplant, the same green vegetable tofu, the same garlic cabbage heart, the same oil and silver needles, the color is pleasant, the taste is light, it is very delicious to eat, Zi Mo has a good appetite to use two bowls of rice before he put down the dishes and chopsticks with satisfaction, which caused everyone to cast a little surprised look.
"Fifth sister, are you hungry?" Cheng Ziyun hurriedly used a small bowl, leaned over to Zimo's side and asked in a whisper.
"Nope." Zi Mo wiped his mouth, "Don't you think the fried food here is delicious?" ”
"Also...... It's okay. Cheng Ziyun sat up straight, "I still prefer to eat meat." ”
Zi Mo: "......"
How could she forget that Cheng Ziyun is a meatless little girl......
Not long after the fast, the little monk who had just left came over again and told Mrs. Tai that Elder Kong had an invitation.
Mrs. Tai hurriedly got up, accompanied by the eldest lady, and wanted to go to the treasure hall where Elder Kong was located in the front hall, and before leaving, she turned around and told everyone: "Your mother and I went to listen to Elder Kong's lecture, you wait here again, don't run around and bump into others." Remember? ”
"Remembered." The crowd replied.
"Zixue is the eldest sister, take good care of the younger sisters." Mrs. Tai looked at Cheng Zixue again.
Cheng Zixue got up and responded, "Zixue knows." ”
"Okay, with Zixue here, mother, you can rest assured." The eldest lady said with a smile, and walked out of the door with the lady in her arms, "Elder Likong is still waiting, let's go quickly......
As soon as Mrs. Tai and the others left, the atmosphere in the room suddenly relaxed.
Zi Mo sat on the upholstered bamboo chair, and his eyes involuntarily drifted out of the window.
After being here for so long, she hasn't seen what the outside world is like.
