"Oh, who is this? Isn't this my Xie Yuanlang's nephew? How? Willing to come back from the capital? My aunt thinks you don't know me anymore after climbing the high branches? I didn't expect to know each other, it's rare! As soon as Li Zhiyuan entered the door, he was greeted by Lin's ridicule.

Right! That's the right response. Li Zhiyuan listened to Lin's words, and did not feel embarrassed and embarrassed, but felt a sense of relief. He sorted out the thoughts in his heart, smiled slightly and saluted, "Uncle said that I laughed, Zhiyuan didn't dare." I haven't seen you for a long time, but my aunt has always been good? ”

"Hehe, thanks to you, it's not bad." Lin Shipi said with a smile, it was difficult to make such a strange expression for her, but there was no way, there was not only their family in the house, but also the Guo family. If it weren't for so many people, she wouldn't have just said such two innocuous words, and she didn't dig out a lot of ugly things in her heart.

At that moment, he did not introduce her to the woman who was with her, but said, "I have something to do, so go to the house and see your uncle first, and then speak later when you have a chance." ”

"Yes, aunt, nephew retires." Li Zhiyuan's face remained unchanged, and he walked out with a smile and politeness. Yunxiao wanted to take him to the men's house, so he went out with him.

When the two of them left, Lin told a few of them to go to the wing room to play, "Have lunch right away, don't run around." Sister Jin, Brother Xuan, you two are big, take good care of Xuan'er, don't bump into it, you know? ”

The two of them naturally agreed, so Yunxi and they all went to the wing. This Zen courtyard usually does not live in people, and there is no fire wall on the fire kang, but there are still charcoal basins, and they have been burning for a while, so the house is quite warm.

As soon as a few people sat down, Yunxi listened to Zhou Lei on the side whispered: "Your cousin has been to the capital for a long time, and he has learned not to change his face." ”

Yunxi was stunned, and then reacted, isn't it, Li Zhiyuan is young and arrogant, and he does have some ability, so he has always been proud and pretentious.

Yunxi remembered that when he used to get along with Li Zhiyuan, he was full of joy and anger. Whether you are happy or unhappy can see through it at a glance. But today, it's just Yunxiao's unkindness or Lin's disappointment, Li Zhiyuan didn't show the slightest bit of unhappiness, it seems that he has not grown a little bit!

"Xu has suffered a lot of setbacks in the capital for more than half a year, after all, the most important thing there is nobles and talents, and when he sees the world, he is naturally not so impetuous, and he is originally a very smart person." Yunxi said thoughtfully.

Zhou Lei nodded and said: "Yes, my brother also said that the capital is the most exercised, and when I pass the exam, I will also go to the capital to study." ”

As soon as he talked about this, Yunxi became interested, "Zhou Lei, when do you plan to take the Xiucai exam, next year, and the year after?" You're only 12 this year, and if you want to take the exam next year, the 13-year-old Xiucai sounds very powerful. ”

"What's so great about Xiucai?" Zhou Lei looked at Yunxi's smiling face, and couldn't help laughing. "Unless you take the first test, you can't talk about it."

Xueba is Xueba, he speaks domineeringly, Yunxi gave him a thumbs up, "That's not bad, then I wish you the first." ”

Zhou Lei was also not polite, and arched his hand: "It's easy to say." ”

"What are you two talking about?" Fu Junzhuo squeezed over and asked, and at the same time stuffed Yunxi with a purse, "Are you hungry?" Eat some of this mat first. ”

Yunxi untied his purse and looked at it, and quickly closed it again, "If you want to die, how can you eat this in the temple." ”

"But I don't have anything else, Jiujin only prepared this, and besides, don't you like to eat?" Fu Junzhuo said aggrievedly.

Yunxi clasped his hands together as if he was in shape, "Amitabha, the Buddha is not strange." ”

"What's delicious? Let me see. Zhou Lei stretched out his hand and snatched it away, opened it and took a look, "Beef jerky, can I taste it?" Picked one up, opened his mouth, threw it in, chewed it twice, and praised: "Well, it tastes good, it's delicious!" ”

Yunxi was dumbfounded for two seconds, hurriedly snatched the purse back, and stuffed it directly into his satchel.

"Yunxi, isn't it? You're so stingy, you can't eat both of your jerky. ”

Yunxi glared at Zhou Lei, and said seriously: "Buddhism is pure, how can you eat meat, isn't it offensive to the Buddha, you have read so many books, you won't even know this, right?" ”

Not to mention that she has gone through the crossing, she has half-believed in the gods and Buddhas, even when she didn't believe in it at all in her previous life, it was impossible for her to eat meat in the temple, which has nothing to do with faith, but is actually a minimum of respect for people.

"You two, whether you believe in gods and Buddhas or not, on other people's territory, you can respect one or two!"

"Yunxi, I'll listen to you." Fu Junzhuo is a good baby, and he made a statement as soon as he heard Yunxi say it.

Zhou Lei said: "Yunxi, I thought you were a free and easy person who did not stick to the world, but I didn't think that you were so old-fashioned? ”

Yunxi stared, she was old-fashioned? What are you kidding, although she is not a new human, she is not an old-fashioned person, is she?

Zhou Lei scratched his head embarrassedly, "I just think it...... How can you little children believe in these false things, aren't all adults who believe in this! ”

"It's not a question of belief or not." Yunxi Zhengse said: "This is the minimum respect for people, although we don't believe it, we can't let others believe it!" You have the freedom to believe, and others have the freedom to believe, and you can't restrict the freedom of others because of your freedom, right? Especially in the temple, it is basically equivalent to being in someone else's home, we are guests, and it is not normal to respect the host, and it is very deserved?

So, eating beef jerky and believing in Buddhism are two different questions, you know? If you say a word, you will say that people are old-fashioned, and I say that you are too arbitrary, right? ”

"If you don't eat it, don't eat it, it's so good at preaching at a young age, it's really boring." Zhou Lei frowned.

"Yunxi don't pay attention to him, I think what you said makes a lot of sense." Fu Junzhuo said to Yunxi sincerely, "Just like my mother and my sister, they always have to donate incense and sesame oil money, although I think it's a bit wasteful, but I have never stopped it, as long as they are happy, anyway, there is no shortage of money at home, don't you say?" ”

"Hmm." Yunxi nodded, "Although we can't understand why they are so religious, we still have to defend their rights and freedoms of faith!" Moreover, the temple teaches people to be good and preaches karma, which I think is also very good, I have a little faith in my heart, a little awe, and I have a measured bottom line in my words and deeds, which is actually very good. ”

"Listening to what you say, this temple has become a good deed, so do you know how many monks in this Xishan Temple do not produce, and how much land below is not taxed?" Zhou Lei asked unconvinced.

"It's definitely not right not to pay taxes." Yunxi said with certainty that for a person who has lived in modern times, he would never be stupid enough to embrace the privilege of the temple. "If you want me to say, not only the temple, but also the aristocracy, the royal family, any privileged class that does not pay taxes is wrong, and it will surely become a cancer of the country."

"I just said that you are old-fashioned, which will be considered to know that you are a bold girl. Okay, okay, don't talk about it, let's play some game, how about throwing a pot? I saw that there was a pitcher in the corner. Zhou Lei interrupted Yunxi's words and pretended to mumble to change the topic.
