Chapter 30 The Great Ingenuity is Clumsy, and the Great Argument is Great
"Xiao Xu, do you mind if my old man gives you a word?" Zhang Lao looked at Xu Guangling and said gently. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Nowadays in China, whenever a child is born, parents will still say that the child is "named", but in fact, this statement is strictly out of place, because now only the name, not the word, the correct way to say is "a name", even "take" should not be used, because the take is used in the word, "take a word".
The names and characters of the ancients are each other, and of course they can also be said to be one yin and one yang.
The name is used in formal and public settings, and the word is used in private and private settings.
If you are not familiar with a person, or have a general relationship, you should call him by his first name, for example, "Hello Li Shangyin, please let me go, you are in my way." "On the contrary, if you have a good relationship with Xiao Lizi, very good, and call him Li Shangyin again, it will seem a little rusty and unsightly, in this case, you should call him the word, "Yishan, what is your sister doing at home today?"
And this word is most likely given by the father.
Because I have read a lot of miscellaneous books, and this kind of name and word is the basic common sense of ancient China, as long as you read the ancient books, no matter which one of them is in the subset of the scriptures and history, you will encounter this problem, not once or twice, but often and frequently, so Xu Guangling still knows some of the Taos in it.
Zhang Lao now proposes to give him a word, which is obvious, he wants to treat him as a formal junior. That's right, the formal juniors, not the general kind of seniors and juniors.
To be honest, Xu Guangling was a little flattered.
How could he let an old man who had only known each other for two days take the initiative to give him a word to show his closeness? Moreover, this old man is not very ordinary no matter how he looks at it.
If when I first met him yesterday, Zhang Lao was just an ordinary old man playing Tai Chi in his eyes, then to now, after these conversations and exchanges, the insight and mind shown by this old man have repeatedly and silently told Xu Guangling that the old man in front of him is not ordinary.
"Thanks to Elder Zhang, the younger generation does not dare to be it, let alone resign. Elder Zhang, please give me words!" Xu Guangling said solemnly.
"Xiao Xu, have you read the book "The World Speaks New Words"?" Zhang Lao asked first.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Lao mentioned this book, Xu Guangling was caught off guard, and his heart suddenly darkened, and it was also a pain.
This book!
This is a book that records the words and deeds of characters in the Wei and Jin dynasties, and he didn't just read it! When he was a child, his literacy was started by his father with the three-character classic, the hundred family names, and the thousand-character text, but after he became literate, the first book he read independently was "The World Speaks New Words"!
Because this book is a standing reading at the bedside of Xu's father.
Xu Guangling still remembers that at that time, he looked through this "book for adults" with a great sense of novelty and achievement, and at that time, he didn't know many words in the book. -- He "finished" the book little by little in the process of literacy on and off in the process of literacy.
One of the scenes seems to have happened yesterday.
Memories and gloom struck suddenly, Xu Guangling almost fell into tears, but fortunately, he was now sweating all over his body, and his face was too, so he inadvertently raised his hand, wiped his face, and then more inadvertently, gently wiped the corners of his eyes, and then perfectly covered up this sudden situation by nodding his head.
"It's good to have read it, this book is a bit biased, I really thought you hadn't touched it, but then the books you read are really miscellaneous. Zhang Lao said with a smile, "Xiao Xu, you are the Zhilan Yushu, the old man I also want to be born in my own yard when I see it!"
This is to explain why he proposed to pick up words for Xu Guangling.
Mrs. Xie asked his sons and nephews: "How can the children also plan for personnel, and they are trying to make them better?" The rider replied, "For example, the Zhilan Yushu wants to be born in the courtyard steps." (The World Speaks New Words)
There is no need to think, no need to remember, this passage in the book is like a stream flowing through the mountains, in Xu Guangling's mind, consciousness, and even heart, slowly flowing.
"Xiao Xu, your talent endowment is the only thing I have ever seen in my old man's life. With your Dunmin, if you choose any path to go on, you will have a great future and be unlimited. However, because of this, the old man wanted to send a message or two. ”
"Lao Tzu has a saying, 'If you are clumsy, if you are clumsy, if you argue greatly', Xiao Xu, if you don't object, then I will take two words for you, and it will be called 'humble words'. ”
If Dacheng is missing, its use is not harmful. If the big profit is rushing, its use is endless. If you are straight, if you are clumsy, if you are clumsy, if you are arguing. Silence is better than restlessness, cold is better than heat. Tranquility is the right thing in the world. -- These are the words of Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching".
This time, Zhang Lao didn't ask him if he had read the book, obviously thinking that he didn't need to ask.
And that's exactly what happened.
The sentence quoted by Zhang Lao but not all of them was repeated several times in his heart, at this moment, Xu Guangling's heart was really full of gratitude and warmth, Zhang Lao used this sentence to pick words for him, and his intentions can be imagined.
It's a reminder, it's a warning, it's an expectation, and it's quite a huge expectation!
Firmly in his mind and imprinted in his heart, Xu Guangling said: "Humble words, Xu Humble words, Zhang Lao, thank you for the words, from now on, I will be both Xu Guangling and Xu Humble Yan." ”
As if he had fulfilled a great wish, at this time, Zhang Lao was smiling happily.
"Humble words, it's time for breakfast again. The old man taught you hard today, and volunteered to pick up words for you, so that you can have another breakfast, isn't it too much?" After laughing, Zhang Lao said to Xu Guangling like this.
said that he said it after laughing, but in fact, when Zhang Lao said this, he was still smiling.
used to be called Xiao Xu, but now it is called Humility, and the change in title also means a change in the identity and relationship between the two. And from his expression and attitude, Xu Guangling can also clearly feel that Zhang Lao is really treating him as his own junior now.
"Not to mention one meal, it's 10,000 tons, and no matter how much, it's not too much. It's a pity that the breakfast here is too simple, and in the future, find a good time, the younger generation will do it himself, make a hearty meal, please taste it. Xu Guangling said.
"Oh, you can actually cook?" Zhang Lao was really surprised at this time.
"If it weren't for the lazy personality of the younger generation, I would have wanted to be a chef. Xu Guangling smiled and said half-truthfully.
"Chef, tsk!"
Hearing this, Zhang Lao shook his head again and again, "Although there is no distinction between high and low professions, but if you want to really be a chef, it will be too tyrannical! ”
Xu Guangling smiled, then stretched out his hand and said, "Elder Zhang, please!"
