Chapter 4 The same spirit

"Wang Po sells melons..." The fat man followed him out at some point and muttered in a low voice.

Zuo Ci laughed dryly and turned around and said, "You two are poor, don't know words, and don't understand etiquette. First, learn with Mo Luli and Zhu Xiaoqing for some time."

"Who are these two?" Yun Yi asked.

Zuo Ci didn't answer, turned his head and said to the west, "What are you looking at? Why don't you get out of here?"

Yun Yi looked in the direction of Zuo Ci's call and saw a few Taoist people running away from home. Judging from the style of their Taoist robe, they should be the disciples of Luo Family Dao.

Yun Yi also has a little understanding of Luo Jiadao. The founder of Luo Jiadao is Luo Yao, who once taught the technique of Burmese and Hiddenness in the Sanfu area, that is, the technique of invisibility.

When the Yellow Turban was in chaos, Luo Yao also gathered a group to rebel, but the noise caused by this person was not very serious and was soon calmed down. He himself died.

After Luo Yao's death, the Luo family did not collapse, but the power in Sanfu became even greater.

Zuo Ci frightened the Taoist people away and left. He didn't know where he went.

"Let's go, I know Mo Luli and Zhu Xiaoqing." The fat man pulled Yun Yi into the yard.

When he returned to the yard, the fat man knocked on the door of a wing room on the east side. In the room was a Taoist who was about the same age as the two of them, with a round face and big eyes and a harmonious face.

"Fatty," the little Taoist who round-faced looked at the fat man and said to Yunyi: "Hey, you're awake."

"He is Zhu Xiaoqing. He is a pretty good person, but he is a little bad." said the fat man.

Zhu Xiaoqing was not angry when he heard this. He asked the two of them to come into the house and sat down, and asked, "Fatty, are you asking me for trouble?"

"Master, let us learn etiquette as you want." The fat man sat down carelessly.

"I don't ask for trouble. You are very wild. This morning, when Master came back to see you wearing his lotus crown, he didn't blame you, but instead punished me for an hour." Zhu Xiaoqing shook his head repeatedly.

"Then I will tell the master, saying that if you don't teach us well, let him punish you for another hour." The fat man giggled with a wicked smile.

"Ah?" Zhu Xiaoqing looked sad.

"What nonsense?" Yun Yi pulled over the fat man who had been talking nonsense, glared at him, and turned to Zhu Xiaoqing and said, "Don't listen to him talking nonsense."

Zhu Xiaoqing nodded repeatedly and made a face at the fat man.

Yun Yi pulled Zhu Xiaoqing to sit down, chatted with him for a few words, bringing each other closer together, and then talked about their respective life experiences.

Zhu Xiaoqing is from Luoyang. His experience is similar to that of him and fat man. He is also an orphan. His parents died early and fell into the streets beggars in their early years. He was often looked down upon and bullied. Last year, he met Zuo Ci in Luoyang and was taken back to Wujiao Villa by Zuo Ci.

When talking about his life experience, Zhu Xiaoqing was very depressed. The fat man glanced at him and said, "You are content. We have all met our parents." He raised his hand and pointed at Yun Yi: "He doesn't even know who his parents are, but my father raised them."

Zhu Xiaoqing turned his head to look at Yun Yi after hearing this, and Yun Yi smiled bitterly without saying a word.

What the fat man said is true. He was abandoned by his parents when he was in his infancy. He was picked up by his father. At that time, he still had a jade pendant on him, with his name and birth date engraved on it.

The jade pendant was the only clue to finding out his life experience, but later the fat man's mother fell seriously ill. In order to treat his mother, his father pawned the jade pendant and collected medical expenses. His life experience became an insolvent mystery.

Fatty mother couldn't survive after all, and his father later passed away due to illness. He and Fatty had no support and could only live on the streets and beg for food.

In the chaotic times, most people have food but not enough food in their homes. Who will have extra food to give to beggars?

At first, the two thought about helping others to make money, but wealthy families usually saw that they were young and had no strength to do so. Small families had no use for them, so the most they did was stealing.

Seeing that Yun Yi was in a bad mood, Zhu Xiaoqing changed the topic.

Zhu Xiaoqing is a kind-hearted and enthusiastic person who is usually more talkative. After a moment, the two of them became much more familiar.

When the matter is finally done, etiquette does not only refer to the etiquette of meeting and greeting people, there are many rules for food, clothing, daily life, walking, sitting and lying down.

The two of them were used to being casual and couldn't stand these rules and regulations. After learning for a while, they went to see Mo Luli next door.

Mo Luli is older than the two, about eighteen or nineteen years old, and she is born fair and pure. Although she is wearing a Taoist robe, she has a strong scholarly aura on her body.

According to Zhu Xiaoqing's previous statement, Mo Luli was from Jingzhou. His father was a military general before. Six years ago, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out. His father participated in the suppression of the Yellow Turban Rebels and died before he achieved his achievements.

Since he was not from the official family, after his father died, the mistress drove them and their son out. Later, his mother contracted a cold and died of illness. She met Zuo Ci and buried her mother before she buried her mother. She followed Zuo Ci to Chang'an.

The two sides communicated their names, and Yun Yi knew the purpose of coming, but unexpectedly, Mo Luli suddenly said, "You can shoot arrows?"

Yun Yi shook his head in shock, not understanding why he had such a question.

Mo Luli was a little disappointed when he saw this and had no intention of explaining it. He took out three sets of stationery tools and taught the two to recognize words and write, and explained the meaning of the words next to him.

Unlike the casual Zhu Xiaoqing, Mo Luli is taciturn and is meant to be serious. To put it bluntly, he is just a dull gossip. He doesn't say anything except explaining the meaning of the word.

The two of them were very bored when they listened. They wrote a few words according to the cat and tiger, but they were still skewed and unformed. Later, they felt that their wrists were sore, so they simply threw down their pen holders and went back to their room to sleep.

In the evening, Zuo Ci came back and saw that the two of them were actually lying in the room and angrily punished them to go out to face the wall and not be allowed to eat supper.

There are only five of them in Wujiao Villa, and Zuo Ci does not hire servants and servants. Zhu Xiaoqing is doing three meals a day. Zuo Ci either goes out or recites scriptures in the main hall in his spare time.

Mo Luli rarely goes out and spends most of his time studying in the house. He never goes to the kitchen to help Zhu Xiaoqing.

In this way, Yun Yi can understand why Fatty said that Zhu Xiaoqing was very good, but he was a little bad.

Dinner was made from noodles cooked with shelled wheat noodles. This kind of fine food was only enjoyed by the masters and sons of wealthy families. The two had never eaten it before and could not eat it this time, so they drooled in greed.

After it got dark, Zhu Xiaoqing sneaked up with the two of them and took out two white buns from his arms. The two were so hungry that they were rants and snatched the white buns and swallowed them voraciously.

As he ate, the fat man suddenly burst into tears silently.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Xiaoqing asked in surprise.

The fat man was just wiping his tears, but Yun Yi took over the conversation: "In the past, during the holidays, our group would squat at the door of the wealthy family, hoping that the masters and wives could give us the leftover food. Once, he asked for a few white buns, and another group of beggars looked at him and ran over to grab us. One of us, Xiao Liuzi, was beaten to death by them."

"You eat quickly, I'll leave first, otherwise I will be punished to stand even if my master finds out." Zhu Xiaoqing patted the choked fat man and turned around and wanted to go.

"Disagreeing against the teacher's order, you three will go back to your room to sleep when you are late." Zuo Ci's voice suddenly came out.

The three of them looked at the courtyard at once, and saw Zuo Ci had appeared in the courtyard at some point.

Seeing Zuo Ci's face unhappy, the three of them dared not answer and watched Zuo Ci return to the backyard.

"I was so hurt by you two." Zhu Xiaoqing stood side by side with his sad face.

Zuo Ci Shen appeared unconsciously and made Yun Yi feel sorry for him, so he did not answer Zhu Xiaoqing's words.

The fat man gloated and said, "Haha, there is another companion."

Zhu Xiaoqing stared at him sideways, and the fat man laughed gloating again.

Not long after the lights were held, the two of them thought that Zuo Ci was about to go to bed, so they began to encourage Zhu Xiaoqing to go back to the room to sleep together. Zhu Xiaoqing was not afraid, and the two of them had no choice but to leave Zhu Xiaoqing and slip back to the room to rest.

Early the next morning, the two were pulled out of the bed by Zuo Ci. Before they even had breakfast, they were beaten by Zuo Ci and were pulled out to face the wall.

When I got to the corner of the wall, I found that Zhu Xiaoqing had been facing the wall for a long time. I couldn't help but wonder. After asking, I found out that Zhu Xiaoqing was punished to stand because he knew that the two of them had returned to the house in advance and did not report it.

After implicating Zhu Xiaoqing twice, they were both sad and apologized repeatedly. Zhu Xiaoqing is a good man and is not angry.

"Honest people are easy to bully. You are so bad!" The fat man pushed Zhu Xiaoqing's shoulder: "You scold us a few words."

Zhu Xiaoqing shook his head: "I didn't take it to my heart."

"Then you hit me a few times." The fat man kept talking nonsense.

Zhu Xiaoqing gave him a blank look and was about to speak, but when he saw Zuo Ci suddenly coming, he winked at the two of them who were still unaware. The two understood and quickly corrected their standing posture.

"Do you know why you are punished by your master?" Zuo Ci walked behind the three of them and asked.

"I ran back to sleep before midnight last night." The fat man was smart.

"I can't stand the mess, I'm so confused!" Zuo Ci grabbed the fat man's collar and threw it on the ground, discarding it like a piece of clothing.

Yun Yi was surprised that Zuo Ci wanted to laugh while having a strong hand, but he didn't laugh out loud, so he heard Zuo Ci say, "Yun Yi, you answer."

Yun Yi complained when he heard this, and after a little thought, "We shouldn't have left Zhu Xiaoqing last night, so we went back to the room to sleep first."

"You guys know what you know!" Zuo Ci laughed twice, did the same thing, and threw him out again.

The fat man had just gotten up and was knocked down by Yun Yi. He just complained to him, but when he saw Zuo Ci frowning and turning around, he was so scared that he immediately shut up.

"I wish Xiaoqing and my fellow disciples gave you food, but I was implicated. You two are so good. Leave him behind him and go back to sleep with his head covering. What a loyalty!" After sarcastic, Zuo Ci said again: "Because you are the same family, you should be together and together, and you will be together through thick and thin. This is the first lesson, remember."

Yun Yi stood up and pulled the fat man up, and the two of them said in unison: "Disciple knows that he is wrong."

"And you, what if you are not good at anything, how can you scold him? What if you kick him? How can you walk in the world in the future? Don't say that you were taught by me when you start a master. I can't afford to lose this person." Zuo Ci looked at Zhu Xiaoqing with a look of regret.
