39.1 Natural Discussion

Chapter 39, clearly at the bottom, Hehe at the top 1

It's winter now, and the weather is starting to turn cold. Wu Feng and Chu Yueer were busy with Mr. Nanguo's affairs for seven or eight days,

I have no time to visit Laozi. Now Nan Guo Ziqi has also been buried. There are still more than two months before Tianzi's birthday. There is nothing to do, so

Thinking of the mansion of the ceremony, I only hope to see Laozi.

The two of them didn't need a car, but just walked slowly to the mansion of the ceremony. Passers-by see this young man and woman extraordinary, male

The son is handsome and tall, and the woman is beautiful and touching.

When Wu Feng and Chu Yueer arrived at the mansion of the ceremony, they saw that the old man sweeping leaves outside the door was still sweeping the fallen leaves and trimming bamboo in the house

The old man Ye is still cutting leaves. Except for those darlings, there is still no one else. After these seven or eight days, there is nothing in the house

Change. Wu Feng carefully asked those children, but the little boy still didn't know where I had gone or when

Come back.

Chu Yueer was careful and asked, "Are I in the house these days?"

The little boy named Zhuang Zhou said, "I'm in the house every day."

Wu Fengqi said, "Since I'm in the house, why do you say you don't know where he went?"

Zhuang Zhou said, "Because I don't know where he is, I don't know where he went."

Wu Feng and Chu Yueer laughed dumbly and thought that these words were all in vain. But since I'm in the house every day,

Naturally, he has not traveled. As long as he comes from time to time, he may not be seen.

The two walked slowly in the house. Wu Feng said, "Since I'm not here, we might as well find a few books."

Chu Yueer smiled and said, " Yue'er seldom reads. If you can't understand it, my husband can teach me."

Wu Feng also smiled and said, " Yueer is very smart. Maybe I still need your advice!"

The two casually walked into a room and took a closer look at the words on the bamboo slips. They saw Huangdi Shu, Jin Renming, Jian,

Three Tombs, Five Classics, Eight Ropes, Nine Hills, etc., Wu Feng casually took a roll of bamboo slips from the wooden shelf and took a roll of bamboo slips on his head

The word "Speaking" was written, spread out on the arm, and there were several words written on it. The handwriting is not old, I don't think

Original, but copied separately.

Wu Feng looked at several lines and said, " Yueer, you can see that it says, 'courtesy is messy, and things are difficult', which suits my heart very well

Think."

Chu Yueer said, "What does it mean that 'courtesy is messy' and 'things are difficult'?"

Wu Feng said, "This is mostly to say that if you serve ghosts and gods, you have to hire Taishi Buwu before doing anything, but things are difficult

do it."

Chu Yueer nodded and said, "That's right. On that day, Confucius once said that fate is congenital, luck is acquired, and life can be a shadow

If you have good luck, you can also change your life. If it all depends on fate, there will be less ambition.

Wu Feng said, "So Confucius said, 'I know it can't do it', and he doesn't say anything strange and disturbs the gods, which is why."

Chu Yueer took another volume of "Travel Mastiff" and opened it and said, "My husband, it says 'playing people lose morality, playing with things lose their ambition',

'If you don't do nothing and harm, you will be successful; if you don't use expensive foreign objects and cheap things, the people are enough.' It makes sense!"

The two looked through the simple books, sometimes talking, sometimes thinking hard, and both felt that they had gained a lot. They didn't know how long it took, so they listened

Bao Xing said outside the door, "Lunbo, little lady, it's time for lunch."

Wu Feng felt a little hungry, put down the bamboo slips with Chu Yueer and came out with Bao Xing back to his house for dinner.

After dinner, Wu Feng and Chu Yueer went to the mansion of the Great Ceremony again. Although they had not seen me, they read the classics all afternoon.

This has been the case for more than ten consecutive days. Zhan Ru and others were surprised to see them go to the mansion of the Grand Ceremony like dementia every day

However, I don't know if they are all brave people. How can they like to work hard on simple words and don't even practice swords.

On this day, Wu Feng and Chu Yueer went to the mansion of the ceremony again. As usual, they greeted the old man who swept the leaves outside the door first, and then entered the house

. After Wu Feng entered the house, he felt a little strange, but everything was similar to usual. Wu Feng was very suspicious, only

I felt wrong.

The two looked at the book for a while, and Chu Yueer said, "husband, Yue'er entered the house today and felt a little different. As for

Where is the difference, and I can't see it."

Wu Feng was shocked and said, "It turns out that Yueer also feels this way. I only said that I made a mistake."

The two put down the bamboo slips and came out, stood at the door and looked around. Chu Yueer pointed to the old man who cut the leaves: "husband,

Look at this father-in-law."

When Wu Feng looked at it, he saw that his father-in-law no longer cut leaves with empty hands, but he was sorting bamboo leaves and twigs with his hands.

Look, I thought he was still trimming the branches and leaves.

Wu Feng said "Huh" and said, "It turns out that he didn't take the flower scissors today. Since there is no flower scissors, how to trim it

Where are the branches and leaves? Walking over with Chu Yueer, Shi Li asked, "There is no scissors in my father-in-law's hand. Why should I trim the leaves?"

The father-in-law did not turn around and said slowly, "The branches and leaves don't need to be cut. The little old man is just used to cutting them.

shun."

The two looked at each other and felt that the father-in-law's words were very mysterious.

Wu Feng said, "This junior doesn't understand much."

The father-in-law sighed and said, "That day, the little lady once said that trimming flowers and trees was against nature. The little old man thought about this

For many days, I think it makes sense.

Wu Feng and Chu Yueer were stunned. It turned out that this father-in-law looked dull and ignored anything, but their

I heard everything in my ears and kept it in mind.

The father-in-law said again, "But if this leaf is not cut, it must be lush and messy, and it will grow as much as you want, small

I originally wanted to use scissors to sort out an order rule for these branches and leaves.

Chu Yueer said, "Although what my father-in-law said is branches and leaves, he seems to refer to people."

Wu Feng's heart moved and nodded, "If you can be unrestrained and do whatever you want, then there is no

The top and bottom are superior and inferior, the king and minister father and son, the father-in-law's cut is like the law, and the order is like a ceremony. Protect by law

Gift, the way of political affairs.

The father-in-law sighed, "The little old man doesn't know much about politics. Long Bo said that it was a political matter, that's a political matter. The law is

What? That's telling people what can't be done. What is etiquette? That is to tell people what must be done. Below the day

This is true in the country, so where is everyone's way of nature?

Wu Feng and Chu Yueer both thought about it.

The father-in-law said again, "If the little old man doesn't cut the bamboo leaves, it should be in line with the way of nature, right? In this way,

For example, the branches and leaves of the dwarf bamboo in front of us are very dense, which inevitably cover a lot of sunlight, and these flowers under the bamboo are forced to go

grows next to it, the flower stem wants to grow more, and it absorbs more water from the soil. The flower roots are deeper than the grass roots, and the flowers take more water.

Then the grass under the flowers uses less water. In this way, the strong and weak can be distinguished, bamboo is the strongest, flowers are the second, grass

Weak."

Wu Feng nodded and said, "My father-in-law cut bamboo leaves in order to weaken in order to weaken?"

The father-in-law said, "A few days ago, the little old man cut off some bamboo leaves, and the sunlight can penetrate into the flowers; if the flowers get sunlight, they don't need

If you grow desperately, you will lose a lot of water; if there is more grass water, it will flourish. But that day, the little lady said, the little old

I'm a little confused again."

Chu Yueer asked, "My father-in-law must be confused about what nature is."

The old father-in-law nodded and said, "I have always thought that everything is born as one. Today's bamboo is strong and grass is weak, and there are many strong people

Light, more water absorption, weak people less light, less water absorption, seems unfair. Even if it is bamboo, there is much difference between light and water absorption.

According to the principle, light and water are equal, which is fair. It is natural for fair people and things to seek.

Wu Feng shook his head and said, "Please forgive the younger generation. The younger generation thinks that fairness is of course the law of nature, and then light

The average water is by no means fair, just average. For example, if the bamboo grass is big and the grass is small, if the light and water are equal, then the bamboo will not make a living, and the grass

Gazi is long, and it is not fair. It is also bamboo. Light and water are naturally different depending on the location. Grass and trees are like this, and so are people.

For example, if the younger generation is taller, the cloth should be wider. If the cloth of the same size as the moon is given, it will inevitably be clothes

It is not wrapped. Another example is that two twin brothers, one is diligent and rich, and the other is lazy and poor. If they are strong and average, they are unfair to the diligent.

Inspitable to the lazy.

The old father-in-law nodded and said, "Long Bo's words are reasonable. After listening to the little lady say it that day, I suddenly realized and understood it

The truth is that knowing that everything will compete with each other is the way of biochemistry. However, people like to compete. If it goes, the strong will be stronger.

What if the weak get weaker?

Chu Yueer said, "In this way, etiquette and law are needed."

Wu Feng said: "People have greed, the etiquette teaches people to lead according to the situation, and the law punishes people, which makes people tend to

Natural. However, the etiquette and law are determined by people, and not all of them are natural, so they are not fair. Because it is not fair,

It seems unnatural. However, this is due to the mismaking of etiquette, and it is unnatural to be bound by etiquette.

Chu Yueer said, "Master Yu once said that I taught people indisputable and was often laughed at. It has been said that people are indisputable,

Why self-improvement? If everyone is weak, it will not survive between heaven and earth. Yueer always couldn't figure it out, but she didn't know what I taught until today

If people don't compete, it's not that people don't want to compete, but that people don't covet things that don't belong to them.

The father-in-law smiled and said, "I used to think so. I thought that retreating and doing nothing is indisputable and natural

It fits the way, and now I know that I'm wrong. Laozi said, 'The way of heaven is beneficial but not harmful; the way of man is not disputed.' That

is to do something, but don't overdo it. Bamboo, flowers and grass have their own ways of growth, and they have their own strengths and weaknesses.

If bamboo kills flowers and leaves flowers and grass, it will be a struggle, but the little old man has never seen such a situation. I can figure it out today

There is no need to cut branches and leaves.

Wu Feng asked, "My father-in-law has seen people, and the younger generation is not talented. How dare you ask your father-in-law's name?"

The old man slowly turned around and said, "The little old man is happy. He lives in Guan Yin in the west city and guards the west gate of Zhou. Therefore, he is called Guan Xi

or Guan Yinxi."

Wu Feng and Chu Yueer quickly saluted. Chu Yueer said, "It turned out to be the uncle, and the first teacher was Mr. Yu."

Guan Xi was slightly shocked and sighed, "Are you dead?"

Chu Yueer cried and said, "Master was injured by Dong Wu and died in the State of Jin."

Guan Xi nodded and said, "Jieyu once came to see me and spoke strangely. Now when I think about it, I know that he has made a decision

I went to find Zhiliyi and Dong Wu.

Wu Feng said, "It turns out that my father-in-law is an old man and a senior brother. No wonder he talks and has extraordinary knowledge."

Guan Xi also said politely, "I dare not. My knowledge is much worse than Longbo and Yueer. If it hadn't been for the guidance of you two,

I still don't know what nature is! He said that he had never received the apprentice's gift, and Yue'er didn't need to call me uncle.

He sighed and said, "I have been a teacher for decades, and I can't learn it. Therefore, he wanted to resign, but Wang Ziren did not

Xu, I have to ask my master for advice here. Master asked me to trim the flowers and plants, but he actually wanted me to take this opportunity to understand the way, but I

I didn't realize the true meaning, so that I cut the leaves with a knife, so that even Yueer could see at a glance that it was not suitable for the road. On that day

I spoke, but I was very inspired. Since I know this, I should go back to Ximen City tomorrow.

Chu Yueer said, "Yue'er and her husband came here many times and wanted to see me, but they always couldn't. Is it true that my husband and I

If you don't become a talent, I don't want to see you?"

Guan Xi shook his head and said, "It may not be good to see, and it may not be bad not to see. You can see it when you can see it, and you can't force it.

Wu Feng nodded and said, "Yes, if we force us to see each other, we will fight, which is not in line with nature."

Guan Xi nodded and said, "But Master once handed me an article called the Tao Te Ching, a total of 5,000 words, which can be taught

You. If you recite this article from time to time, you will get something.

At present, under the flower path, Guan Xi recited the Tao Te Ching: "Tao Tao, very Tao; nameable,

Examous name. Nameless, the beginning of heaven and earth; famous, the mother of all things. ......”

Wu Feng and Chu Yueer secretly recited their memories. Guan Xi taught them three times. Seeing that they had been able to memorize them, they nodded,

Slowly turned to the back.

Wu Feng and his wife saw that he acted uniquely and knew that he didn't like to be disturbed and dared not catch up with him. They just thanked him.

When he came to the Grand Ceremony House the next day, Guan Xi was not in the house. The son said that he had returned to Ximen City.

Wu Feng and Chu Yueer went to read some brief books and studied the Tao Te Ching with each other. They all felt that these days, learning

I have made a lot of progress.

These days, Shanjiao and Liu Juan often asked people to invite Wu Feng to the banquet, but Wu Feng went to the mansion of the ceremony early in the morning, Zhan Ru and others

I know that Wu Feng doesn't like socializing, so I push it every time.

On this day, Wu Feng and Chu Yueer were thinking of going to the mansion of the Grand Ceremony again, and Prince Jiren came to Qishe.

Ji Ren said, "These days, my father is slightly unwell and can't get out of bed. He has been serving in the palace for many days and can't see

Long Bo, don't be surprised."

Wu Feng said, "The prince is not as good as me. How can he be surprised? Is the emperor well now?"

Ji Ren said, "It's better. My father said that Uncle Long has been here for many days. Today, he is better and will give a banquet in the palace.

Hesting Longbo. Next, I'm here to invite Longbo to the banquet.

Wu Feng said, "How dare you refuse the banquet given by the Son of Heaven?" He entered the palace with Ji Ren with Chu Yueer.

Compared with the last time, Zhou Jingwang's body was indeed much better. Wu Feng sat on his left hand after meeting Shi Li in the side hall

At the table, Ji Ren sat opposite the right table.

Zhou Jingwang asked Ji Ren, "How can Hou'er return to the future?"

Ji Ren said, "I have been here early in the morning. I think I will come."

Wu Feng remembered that he had been on the first week for many days, but he had not seen Wang Zi Jihou. He was thinking that this man was more powerful than Ji Ren.

was regarded as the son of the next Zhou Dynasty. I don't know if he was wise or not, Ji Hou entered the palace with Liu Juan and Shan Jiao.

After the three saluted Zhou Jingwang, they sat opposite Wu Feng. Ji Hou sat at Ji Ren's lower head, and Liu Juan and Shan Jiao sat again

Ji Hou's next head. Although Ji Hou is more powerful, he is Ji Ren's younger brother. At present, the emperor has not established a prince, so he naturally has to follow the year

sit.

Liu Juan smiled and said, "Long Bo has been running to the mansion every day. Have you read all the classics in the house?"

Wu Feng laughed and said, "How can I finish reading it? I just read a few books, and it's not very clear.

Sand proud sighed, "There is a lot of beautiful scenery near Chengzhou. Long Bo actually didn't go out to have a look, and he didn't want to invite him to hold a banquet

Come on, it seems that he is really a learner.

When Zhou Jingwang heard them say this, he laughed and said, "It turns out that Long Bo's nature is similar to Meng Meng, and they all like to study knowledge."

Wu Feng said, "In fact, Weichen is a rude person, which can't be related to learning, but at the feet of the emperor,

Wenxiu's land, I dare not read a few volumes of brief books, so as not to make a fool of myself.

Ji Hou said lightly, "Longbo is too modest. I heard that Longbo talked with Guan Xi for half a day a few days ago. Guan Xi

Then he went back to Xichengguan and thought that it was Longbo's knowledge that scared Guan Xi away!"

Wu Fengxin said, "There are not many people in the mansion of the ceremony. How do you know when we talk? I think you have more

this week.

ear and eye." Laughing and saying, "It must be because he is impatient, but he died in the mansion of the ceremony. Brother Guan couldn't bear to see it.

I simply didn't see it and walked away.

Everyone laughed when they heard him funny. Ji Ren smiled and said, "Long Bo is famous all over the world. I didn't expect him to be so modest."

Ji Hou asked: "I heard that Long Bo showed his power in the State of Jin and defeated Liang Ying's father and Zhi Yao successively, and even Dong Wu died

In the hands of Longbo. Is Long Bo's swordsmanship earth-shaking?

Wu Feng shook his head and said, "It's just a few swordsmanship, and there is no victory or defeat. Dong Wu was not killed, but

Suicide, this swordsmanship is not enough.

Ji Houxin said, "The rumor must be wrong. This man speaks so modestly that he doesn't think he has much ability. Dong Wu's death is different

Other reasons."

Ji Ren saw Wu Feng fight with Dong Wu and knew his strength, but he saw that he was so modest and a little uncomfortable

solution.

In fact, Wu Feng did not like to boast, not to mention that there was an old man in Cheng Zhou, and he did not dare to boast, so he was so modest

Xun. If you talk about the sword in Chengzhou, it's like talking about etiquette in Qufu, which seems too much.

At this time, His Highness rang the bell, the silk bamboo played, and the temple maid held the case. She came and went endlessly. The meat in the tripod was rotten, and the pot

The wine was mellow, and Wu Feng respected King Zhou Jing, and drank with Ji Ren and others.

After three rounds of drinking, King Jing of Zhou said, "The people of Qi have always respected the king. In those years, the Duke of Heng respected the king of Heng and the princes of Jiuhe had great achievements

In the royal family. The year before last, he sent You Si Ma Tianpan to train soldiers for me. This time, he sent Longbo again, which showed the heart of the Marquis of Qi.

Every time I think about this, I feel very relieved.

Wu Feng said, "In the four seas, it is not the king's land, the shore of the land, is it the king's minister. It is natural to be the king of the world,

It's the right time for the widow to celebrate Wei Chen's birthday.

These words happened to be in the heart of King Zhou Jing. King Zhou was very happy and said, "What Uncle Long said, if he is a human

People think like Long Bo, and the world will be stable and peaceful.

He was happy and couldn't help drinking more wine. He choked and coughed for a moment. Wu Feng put down the wine lord and looked at him

Go, Zhou Jingwang coughed for a long time and his face turned red.

Ji Ren said, "Will my father go to rest for a while? The minister and Xiaohou's father toasted to Longbo.

King Jing of Zhou nodded and sighed, "I'm really not good. Uncle Long, please sit down and be accompanied by Wang Er

Drink."

Wu Feng got up and saluted, "God, please rest and raise it."

After King Zhou Jing retired from the hall, everyone continued to feast, but Ji Ren was a little absent-minded and looked at the back of the hall from time to time, thinking that

Remember Zhou Jingwang's body.

Wu Fengxin said, "The emperor is sick, and we don't drink properly." He got up and said, "Prince, Duke Liu, Duke Shan, are drinking

I'm so strong that I want to leave first.

Ji Ren and others knew why he withdrew and got up together. Originally, the emperor gave him a banquet, and his subjects generally tried to be tempered.

In avoid drinking too much rudeness, everyone has this experience, and naturally they will not be forced to stay.

As soon as Wu Feng left, Liu Juan and Shan Jiao also left the palace.
