Chapter 174: It turns out that Zhu Tang is a poor child
Zhu Tang and the others covered their stomachs, and looked at Zhu Bai with wide eyes of indignation.
Zhu Tang pouted: "Brother Twelve is really bad." ”
Zhu Tan: "Twelfth brother, how can you be like this." ”
Zhu Bai shook his head: "Tsk, you unlucky children." I invited you to eat steamed buns, and you scolded me......"
Hehe, my advantage is so easy to take advantage of?!
If you don't torture you guys and make me happy, how can you have enough money?!
Zhu Tang got out of the car and went to complain to Lao Zhu and Queen Ma: "Brother Twelve invited us to eat meat buns." ”
Queen Ma nodded: "I know, thank you, Brother Twelve?" ”
Zhu Tang: "No, Brother Twelve only invited us to eat meat buns." ”
Queen Ma: "Child, you have to repay your kindness." Your twelfth brother invited you to eat meat buns, and you will invite him to eat something else later. ”
Zhu Tang was anxious and cried: "Wow." Mother, listen to me, he invited us to eat five big meat buns......"
Queen Ma: "Yes, I'll worship the Buddha when I'm full." Be obedient, don't make noise in the Buddhist hall. ”
-----
The Temple of the Heavenly Realm does not accept ordinary pilgrims today.
Jin Wuwei also dispersed the idle people and others early, and surrounded the Heavenly Realm Temple.
Even the monks are in the backyard and can't come out unless they are summoned.
Lao Zhu led the eldest wife and a group of young wives, as well as children, and hundreds of people knelt in the Buddhist hall.
Lao Zhu is in the center of the front row. Queen Ma was on his right, and Zhu Biao was on the left.
Next to Zhu Biao is Zhu Bai.
Zhu Bai smacked his lips and sighed: There are so many people. No wonder you have to make a roster, otherwise where to remember.
After worshipping the Buddha, it was Zong Xi who told everyone the "Mahayana Sutra of Amitayus".
Lao Zhu had the heart to let his children learn Buddhist scriptures, so he let the princes and princesses sit in front.
The little princes and princesses are young, and they are tired of eating buns and bumps on the road.
At this time, when I heard Zong Xi's lecture, everyone was sleepy, crooked, and nodded like a chicken pecking rice.
Zong Xi was so hateful that he secretly bit his sleeve: Lao Zhu's children are all this virtue. There is no Buddha nature at all. If you don't listen, don't come. This is so bad for the reputation of the old monk.
He glanced around.
Only one prince had round eyes and listened with relish.
Eh, isn't this the Ten Princes Zhu Tan?
Zong Xi secretly clasped his hands together: Amitabha, there is finally one left with Huigen, and it is not in vain.
This side is scattered, and the concubines and princes go to the backyard to enjoy the plums.
Lao Zhu and Queen Ma were invited to the meditation room to drink tea, rest, and listen to Zong Xi lecture on the scriptures again.
Lao Zhu originally wanted to catch Zhu Bai and go with him, but as soon as he turned his head, Zhu Bai slipped away.
"This rabbit cub is really ......," Lao Zhu frowned.
Queen Ma couldn't help but purse her lips and smile: "He's still young, don't hold him." If he wants to listen to Master Zongxi's lectures, there are many opportunities. ”
In fact, what she thought in her heart was: This kid is quite acquainted. But whenever Lao Zhu appeared with her, he could hide and hide, and never steal the limelight.
Zhu Biao said: "The twelfth brother probably went to pick fruits. I heard that there is a big orange tree in the back. ”
Lao Zhu sighed: "Alas, I look like a monkey all day long." ”
Over there, Zhu Tan chased after Zong Xi and asked, "Master, master." After learning this "Mahayana Sutra of Amitayus", is it possible to live forever? ”
Zong Xi was so helpless that he didn't even understand the question after a long time.
He could only patiently explain: "The Mahayana Sutra of Amitayus talks about the great wish of receiving sentient beings and the beautiful vision of the world of bliss. ”
Zhu Tan frowned: "Amitayus, doesn't it mean that life is boundless?" ”
Zong Xi: "Buddhism is boundless, and all it talks about is to save others and save oneself. Reciting Buddhist scriptures often can accumulate virtue and increase longevity. ”
Zhu Tan's face was full of disappointment: "It turned out that it didn't work." The king listened in vain for a long time. ”
Zong Xi was so excited that he almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood: Is there any misunderstanding of your child about our Buddhism?
Besides, you can't say that, there is nothing in this world that can make ordinary people immortal by listening to it.
Zhu Tan had already turned around and left, still babbling in his mouth: "It's still Taoist reliable." Just eat a golden pill or something. ”
Zong Xi took a deep breath: I used to think that Zhu Bai was stubborn, but now I know. Compared to Lao Zhu's other sons. Zhu Bai has already calculated it.

Concubine Hu Shun explained according to Zhu Bai's explanation, and after listening to the scriptures, she told the palace maids and eunuchs that she wanted to go by herself and not follow her, and then pretended to have no intention, and while walking, she saw the south wall of the temple standing still, and coughed lightly.
Hu Mei's voice immediately came from the other side of the wall: "Is it Yi'er?" ”
When Concubine Hu Shun heard her father's voice, tears suddenly rolled down, and she couldn't speak anymore after calling "Dad".
Hu Mei also hoarse: "Don't cry, don't cry." I'm fine with your mother, don't worry about us. Serve the emperor and the queen well. ”
Concubine Hu Shunfei sobbed.
She wanted to say that as soon as she entered the palace gate, it was as deep as the sea, and there was not a day when she was not afraid.
She wants to say that she would rather marry an ordinary person, and still serve her father and mother every day, and teach her husband and children.
But she couldn't say.
Because these words, when they are heard by others, can be distorted into great rebellion.
Hu Mei comforted Concubine Hu Shun a few more words, and left in a hurry.
Zhu Bai just saw Concubine Hu Shun going to the south wall, so he put his mind at ease and planned to go shopping by himself.
As a result, Zhu Tang grabbed his sleeve and followed him like a little tail.
Zhu Bai helplessly held his forehead and asked, "What are you doing with me?" Didn't you just eat enough? ”
Zhu Tang: "Eh, maybe I'll be hungry again on the way back?" ”
Zhu Bai: "Don't you have a monthly money yourself?" Besides, there is no shortage of food in the palace. ”
Zhu Tang was silent.
Could it be that he said it unintentionally?
Zhu Bai felt strange in his heart, and turned his head to stare at her.
After a closer look, he found that Zhu Tang was thinner than the last time they met.
Zhu Bai frowned and asked, "Those old mothers, they won't really even have to deduct your food." ”
Zhu Tang let go, Zhu Bai bowed his head, turned around and left.
Zhu Bai thought for a while and asked Fugui: "By the way, who is Zhu Tang's mother-in-law." ”
At the previous family banquet, when the mother and son met, it seemed that Mama Li took Zhu Tang away directly.
There were a lot of people at that time, and Zhu Bai was busy talking to Concubine Hu Shun, so he didn't pay attention.
Fugui sighed: "Alas, that lady died during childbirth. ”
Zhu Bai was stunned.
It turns out that Zhu Tang is also a poor child without a mother.
No wonder Zhu Di is gentler towards Zhu Tang than others.
No wonder Lao Zhu loves her more.
No wonder Concubine Li Shufei dared to use Zhu Tang to frame him, thinking that there would be no mother to support her at all.
Before, because Lao Zhu doted on Zhu Tang, everyone didn't dare to snub her.
Now Lao Zhu's attention is all on him, and he doesn't pay so much attention to Zhu Tang.
As soon as the number of times Lao Zhu asked Zhu Tang decreased, those palace people who stepped on the low and praised the high naturally did not have so much devotion to Zhu Tang.
Fugui whispered: "Although Mama Li is hateful, she is quite dedicated to Zhu Tang on weekdays. As soon as Mama Li died, she was replaced by an old mother. The old mother only thought about how to take out the things around Zhu Tang and sell them for money, probably snacks, eggs, fruits and so on, but they didn't give them to His Highness. ”
