When I returned home, I immediately took out the four treasures of the study and began to write the Tao Te Ching. Nameless, the beginning of heaven and earth, famous, the mother of all things...... The good is like water, and the water is good for all things. Everywhere people are evil, so there are a few more than the way. Dwelling in a good place, a good heart, a good heart, a good word, good faith, good governance, good ability, and good time.......

He wrote silently twice, and this time, Lu Shanmin found for the first time that practicing calligraphy could not make him feel at ease.

For the third and fourth times, Lu Shanmin wrote again and again, and every word reflected Ye Zixuan's crying, and he was sweating profusely in the cold winter.

Xiao Nizi came home with the day's harvest, threw her things on the sofa, and walked to Lu Shanmin with her hands behind her back.

"In a bad mood"?

Lu Shanmin ignored it, and his pen walked the dragon and snake.

Xiao Nizi said lightly: "Tao Te Ching? After you left the village, Grandpa Lu often wrote, and he said that writing can calm the mind, especially the Tao Te Ching." But Grandpa Huang said it was useless, and it would only get worse the more he wrote."

Lu Shanmin stopped his pen and glanced at his obviously angry face, in his impression, this was the first time Xiao Nizi was angry with him, packed up the four treasures of the study, and walked directly to the bathroom, "I'll take a shower."

Xiao Nizi clasped her hands around her chest, turned around and leaned against the table, "It's useless to take a shower, and you will sweat when you have nightmares at night."

Lu Shanmin paused, walked into the bathroom, turned on the shower, did not use hot water, the cold ice water poured from head to toe, the muscles of the whole body tensed unconsciously, and beat slightly under the stimulation of the cold water.

He took a big breath of air, letting the icy ice water hit his body.

Half an hour passed, and his body gradually adapted, and he suddenly found that taking an ice bath in the cold winter was more effective than practicing calligraphy, and his chaotic emotions were gradually extinguished by ice water.

Changing into pajamas and walking out of the bathroom, Xiao Nizi was sipping melon seeds on Erlang's legs, happily watching "Cherry Maruko" on TV.

Lu Shanmin looked at the clean kitchen and asked, "Aren't you cooking tonight?"

Xiao Nizi's eyes did not leave the TV, and she reached into the bag with one hand and took out a box of instant noodles, and slapped it on the coffee table with a bang.

"Boil your own blisters".

Lu Shanmin frowned, picked up instant noodles and walked towards the kitchen, took two steps and turned around and asked, "Do you want to?"

Xiao Nizi was still watching TV, and raised her head proudly, "It's enough to soak your own, I ate it with Sister Zixuan and Xiao Lanzi in a Michelin restaurant." As he spoke, he added, "French dinner".

Lu Shanmin smiled helplessly and walked into the kitchen to boil water and make noodles.

Instant noodles are sauerkraut flavored, which is the one that Lu Shanmin dislikes the most, but he still drank not even a drop of soup.

Xiao Nizi glanced at the empty instant noodle box, "I'm in a bad mood and my appetite is so good"?

Lu Shanmin slowly packed up the garbage bag and threw it into the trash can in the aisle, returned to the house and sat next to Xiao Nizi, watching TV quietly.

After a long time, Lu Shanmin spoke: "We don't look down on the people in our village who start to abandon at the beginning, why do you hate Bai Ling, isn't it because she regretted her marriage at the beginning? Especially men, there are men in our village who scold their wives and beat their wives, but there has never been a man who abandons his wife. ”

"Yaqian is a good girl, she gambled everything with her and everything from the Zeng family for me. She was there for me when I was most difficult, she was there for me when I was most confused, and she was there for me to dock in when I was most lonely. If I abandon her, then what is the difference between me and Bai Fugui and Bai Ling?"

Xiao Nizi said angrily, "Then why did you practice calligraphy just now, you have Sister Zixuan in your heart, and you like her."

Lu Shanmin said lightly: "She is very special, as if she is like a fairy in the sky, she should not be in the world." Her smile, her eyes, her heart, were spotlessly clean. I confess that when I was lost and in pain, when I slipped into the dark abyss, just thinking of her was like seeing the light and seeing hope. She can cleanse the evil in my heart, drive away the troubles in my heart, and bring me the beauty of this world. Maybe I like her, but I can't deny that I like Yaqian too."

"Little Nizi, my grandfather told me that 'ten thousand laws will not change the heart of a child', but I have gradually drifted away along the way, and I have gradually become what I once hated. There is no distinction between black and white in the world, but you have to talk about the conscience of heaven and earth, grandpa once said, do things to be worthy of heaven and earth can be at ease, my heart is uneasy, precisely because of shame".

Xiao Nizi looked at Lu Shanmin in a daze, her big eyes blinked, she didn't understand why Lu Shanmin hated him, and she couldn't understand where he was ashamed. In her opinion, she can say whatever she thinks in her heart, and do whatever she wants, how can there be so many broken truths.

Although she didn't understand, she could feel a trace of Lu Shanmin's uneasiness. "Brother Shanmin, if you marry Zeng Yaqian, you can forget Sister Zixuan, and you will have no shame in your heart?"

Lu Shanmin's eyelids twitched, he had never thought about this question, and he was asked by Xiao Nizi for a while, and he didn't know how to answer.

"Brother Shanmin, you are talking more and more like Grandpa Lu, what kind of innocence and conscience you are talking about, it is too profound, I don't understand. I only know that if I like it, I have to grab it, otherwise I will be cheaper and I will be uncomfortable."

Lu Shanmin was silent, and said after a long time: "Have you thought about it, how dangerous it will be if she falls in, this matter, everyone who enters the game, everyone's future is full of death."

"Sister Zixuan is not covered by her grandfather, and Xiaolanzi, Sister Zixuan is his sister after all, what danger will there be"?

Lu Shanmin shook his head, "It's really the step where the dog jumps off the wall in a hurry, and no one can cover it." Xiao Nizi, since you arrived in Tianjing, haven't you felt weird everywhere?"

Xiao Nizi thought about it, shook her head, and said, "Zeng Yaqian can be involved, why can't Sister Zixuan?"

Lu Shanmin sighed, "Their experiences are different, Yaqian has experienced the baptism of the family shopping mall since she was a child, and she is tenacious and brave and decisive. Zixuan has been isolated and protected since she was a child, and her parents have always raised her as an ordinary girl, with a simple and kind heart. This situation wasn't for her, and she shouldn't have been through it. Can you bear to let a spotless girl like her fall into the mud?"

Xiao Nizi held her chin with her hands, thought for a while, and pouted, "I can't always tell you about reasoning, but I'm still not convinced, I still think you should be with Sister Zixuan."

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Lu Shanmin, "Also, I saw Han Yao in the mall today, as well as her sister-in-law Han Tong."

Lu Shanmin frowned slightly, he hadn't paid attention to it today, but now that he thinks about it, Han Yao hasn't called him for a day.

"Did you say hello to her"?

Xiao Nizi shrugged her shoulders, "No, looking at her appearance, she should have seen you and Sister Zixuan together."

Lu Shanmin patted his head and muttered, "Nalan Zijian is really unguardable."

Xiao Nizi's eyes widened, "You mean Xiao Lanzi betrayed us"?

Lu Shanmin frowned, "Tianjing is so big, how can it be so easy to meet by chance."

Xiao Nizi clenched her fists and said coldly: "This guy is despicable and shameless, look at me if I can't clean him up."

Lu Shanmin lowered his head and pondered, in a battle with the Nalan family, he first had to stabilize the four major families of Tianjing, if he couldn't get the neutrality of these families, it would be tantamount to a moth to a fire.

"Brother Shanmin, what should I do? If you and Han Yao blow it, the Han family will have no worries, and they will have to kill us to death in the future."

Lu Shanmin had a big head for a while, if this matter was not handled well, all the plans in the future would face great risks.

"Brother Shanmin, if you go and explain to her, just say that Sister Zixuan is your ex-girlfriend, anyway, she also thinks that you have two ex-girlfriends, so you shouldn't care about one more."

Lu Shanmin pondered for a long time and took a deep breath, "To tell a lie, you need to use countless lies to make it round, and I will confess to her."

Xiao Nizi jumped up from the sofa, "I finally got a backer, so I don't want it."

Lu Shanmin stood up, "Xiao Nizi, didn't you say something to me for my Master Miaoxiang, she said that my father is a man who stands tall and bright, and when I saw Zixuan today, she made me even more convinced that there is more light in the world in addition to darkness." ”

Saying that, he smiled at Xiao Nizi, "Han Yao is not stupid, since she has begun to doubt, we can't hide it for long, the plan can't catch up with the changes, and no matter how perfect the plan is, there will be mistakes."

Seeing Lu Shanmin smiling, Xiao Nizi blinked her big eyes, "You can still laugh"?

Lu Shanmin smiled, "All along, she has been a big stone pressing on my heart, but now she is relieved."

As he spoke, he took Xiao Nizi's hand, "Let's go, let's go now."

.............

.............

Han Xiaozhou sat in the study and looked at the two letters on the table, two letters from the same person, one received thirty years ago and the other five years ago. The contents of the letter are identical except for the name of one of the people mentioned in it.

He knew that the reason why the contents of the two letters would be the same was not because the person who wrote the letter was lazy, but because the person who wrote the letter was really helpless, and he could feel the deep plea in it.

He didn't do it thirty years ago, and he didn't pay attention to it when he received the second letter five years ago, but he didn't expect that he would be faced with the same choice as he did thirty years ago so soon.

"Bang, bang, bang", there was a knock on the study door, and Chen Beitian walked in.

"Mr. Three, Lu Shanmin is here."

Han Xiaozhou frowned, did not speak, and sat quietly on the Luo Circle chair with his eyes closed and pondered, he knew that the time had come for him to make a choice.

"Mr. Three, do you want me to teach him a lesson"?

"What about Yaoyao?" Han Xiaozhou asked with his eyes closed.

"Miss cried all night, and just heard Li's mother say that she was tired of crying, and now she should go to sleep."

"You've seen him before"?

"Yes".

"What kind of person do you think he is"?

"Very ordinary", after a pause, he added: "except that he is a master in force".

Han Xiaozhou muttered: "I walked from the mountains to Tianjing City in five years, how can it be ordinary." Lu Chenlong's son, how can he be ordinary"!

As he spoke, he opened his eyes, took a deep breath, got up and walked towards the door, "Let's go, go see what he is going to do."

Outside the gate of the villa, Xiao Nizi frowned and asked, "Brother Shanmin, have you made a call?"

Lu Shanmin shook his head, "Han Yao's mobile phone is turned off."

"Then let's go back, and think about what other remedies there are."

Lu Shanmin looked at the camera outside the gate, "They already know that I am coming, how embarrassing it is to leave at this time."

"But"?

Before he finished speaking, the iron door creaked open, and Chen Beitian looked at Lu Shanmin coldly, "Come in." As he spoke, he said to Xiao Nizi, "You can't go in."

Xiao Nizi raised her head and glared at Chen Beitian, and the qi in her body instantly worked.

Lu Shanmin stretched out his hand to stop Xiao Nizi, "Don't worry, wait for me outside."

The brothers of the Han family did not live together, only Han Yao's family lived in this villa, the yard was not big, it was very quiet, and it took a minute or two to walk to the main entrance of the hall.

went up to the second floor, the door of the study was hidden, Chen Beitian knocked on the door, and a deep voice came from inside, "Come in."

Chen Beitian made a gesture of please and stood at the door.

Lu Shanmin pushed the door in, and Han Xiaozhou sat on the Luo Circle chair and stretched out his hand, motioning for him to sit down.

Lu Shanmin didn't sit down, he stood in front of the big desk in Huanghuali and looked at Han Xiaozhou, he had seen his photos on the information before, but he looked more bookish.

His gaze only lingered on Han Xiaozhou for a moment, and he was immediately attracted by a painting behind him. 'Three precepts solidify, three thoughts to advance'. The penmanship of these eight characters looks familiar, as if they are familiar, but I can't remember exactly where I saw them.

"Yaoyao has already slept." Han Xiaozhou was the first to speak.

Lu Shanmin retracted his gaze and nodded, "I'm here to apologize."

"What apologies"?

Lu Shanmin met Han Xiaozhou's scrutinizing gaze, "Apologize to Han Yao and tell her that I was cheating on her."

Han Xiaozhou squinted his eyes and looked at the people of the mountains carefully, his eyes were quite surprised, and after a while, he said, "You're not afraid"?

"Afraid of what"?

"If you want to seek revenge from the Nalan family, you must first ensure that the major families in Tianjing remain neutral, without Yaoyao as a hostage, you are not afraid that if you don't wait for the Nalan family to make a move, the Han family will do it to you first."

"How can the Han family be so small, if you use family power for a child's private relationship, others will laugh at it."

"Then if you do something against the Nalan family, it will shake the original pattern of interests, and the Han family will always have a reason to make a move."

Lu Shanmin looked at Han Xiaozhou lightly. "This revenge must be avenged, and no one can stop me, even the Han family."

Han Xiaozhou smiled, "Tiger father has no dog, you have the same guts as your father."

"I'm far from him."

Han Xiaozhou smiled, "Little girl is very easy to deceive, it's not that you don't have a chance to change at all, I'm curious, why did you give up so easily."

"It's not about giving up, it's about letting go".

Han Xiaozhou leaned forward slightly, put his hands on the desk, and stared at Lu Shanmin suspiciously, "Conscience discovered"?

"My dad is above board, I can't lose his face".

Han Xiaozhou looked at Lu Shanmin's face in a daze, and could vaguely see Lu Chenlong's shadow, Lu Chenlong also looked like a righteous Ling Ran back then, not like a businessman, more like a hero. Such a person can be admired, but such a person is by no means a qualified businessman.

"I want to learn from your father, but your father's path has proven to be impossible."

"Lu Xun said that there is no road in the world, and if there are more people walking, there will be a road, and if it doesn't work, it will take a few people to know it."

Han Xiaozhou frowned slightly, and said lightly: "If I persuade you to leave Tianjing, will you leave?"

"I have been persuaded by so many people that my ears have become calloused."

Han Xiaozhou smiled, "Like, really like, you are indeed Lu Chenlong's son."

"You've seen my dad"?

Han Xiaozhou smiled, "Lu Chenlong's demeanor, no one in the circle knew it back then, compared to you, it was much more dazzling than you." He was young and frivolous at that time, and he used to be my idol."

"But your Han family still didn't help him."

Han Xiaozhou nodded, "With your current status and experience, it's one thing to know that I personally adore him, whether you can help him or not, how to help is another thing." The Han family is not an ordinary family, how can it be possible to influence family decisions with personal friendships. What's more, at that time, I couldn't speak in the Han family."

"You can talk now, I don't want you to help, I just hope that you don't help the Nalan family when the time comes."

Han Xiaozhou did not agree, nor did he refuse.

Get up and point to the eight characters on the wall, "I heard that your calligraphy level is good, what do you think of these eight characters"?

Lu Shanmin moved his gaze to the eight words again, the more he looked at it, the more familiar he felt, "The pen is vigorous, there is the momentum of a towering mountain, but the circle is soft and not stiff and domineering, this is not a word, it is a spirit, it looks magnificent from a distance, and when it looks closely, every stroke seems to be telling a story, a truth, both indifferent and transcendent." ”

Han Xiaozhou nodded appreciatively, "Good eyesight, this painting was given to me by my teacher thirty years ago." Although I didn't get along with him for a long time, he not only let me see the charm of calligraphy, but also let me understand the truth of life, 'three precepts solidify, think three times', he wanted to tell me that everyone has shortcomings, even if they are corrected, there will be new shortcomings in different periods, these shortcomings are like impurities in steel, affecting the toughness and hardness of steel, an ordinary piece of iron, under the repeated beating of the blacksmith, check the impurities, can be refined into steel. People are the same, quit bad habits, correct shortcomings, reflect on one's body three times a day, know that mistakes can be changed, and temper repeatedly, in order to become strong in essence. Only after consolidating the foundation can we think steadily about long-term development."

Saying that, he turned his head to look at Lu Shanmin, "It's not easy for you to realize your mistakes, and it's not easy to face and correct them bravely, I appreciate you very much."

Lu Shanmin looked at Han Xiaozhou unexpectedly, he had thought of many possibilities before coming, the only thing he didn't expect was that Han Xiaozhou would say that he admired him.

"Mr. Han is open-minded and admired."

Han Xiaozhou said lightly, "Go back."

Lu Shanmin's brows furrowed slightly, "I haven't confessed to Yaoyao yet."

Han Xiaozhou smiled and said: "Don't have a psychological burden, this time, I made you wrong."

The big chapter, it's a change.
