Chapter 244: On the Dao
"Then we'll eat a big meal today, so I'm not polite to you. ”
Among them, Yu Mingda's family conditions are the best, with three apartments in Jinling and two cars.
When I was in high school, I often invited my classmates to dinner, so Xu Xinyan and Song Ying were also used to Mingda's invitation to dinner.
"What's polite, they're all classmates, and I'm going to eat openly today, and it's all mine. ”
"Then I'm not going to be polite to you. ”
"Let's go, there is a Four Seasons Building in this area, it tastes very good, I'll take you to taste it." ”
"Walking. ”
Originally, Lin Jiang wanted to pay for a treat, but Yu Mingda said so, so he didn't say anything, after all, it was not his home field.
After walking for about ten minutes, a group of seven people came to the Four Seasons Building that Yu Mingda said.
The decoration of the Four Seasons Building is antique, and it restores the appearance of the ancient building 100%.
If they all wear ancient costumes, it will definitely be another scenery.
The arrival of Lin Jiang and others attracted the attention of many people.
The combination of handsome men and beautiful women will always attract people to take a few more looks.
Secondly, there are many people who have witnessed Lin Jiang's talent at the ceremony, so at this time, they recognized him at first sight.
Because it was the eleventh long holiday, there were a lot of guests in the Four Seasons Building, and the seven people waited for a few minutes to wait for a vacant seat.
"Yo, it's just a few of you. ”
As soon as they sat down, they heard a voice from the side.
When I looked over, I found that it was Sun Yugang who I had seen before.
"Hello Mr. Sun. Su Xiaotang said politely.
"It's a coincidence that I met here. ”
"Uh-huh. ”
After a simple hello, the two tables were busy, after all, they were not too familiar, and they didn't have so much to say.
But at this time, Lin Jiang saw that it was not only Sun Yugang and his granddaughter who came to eat.
Next to them, there was another person about the same age as Sun Yugang, who was chatting and chatting.
"Do you know these people?" asked Sun Yugang's friend.
The person who spoke, named Zheng Binyong, and Sun Yugang have known each other for more than 30 years, and they are both professors at Jinling Normal School.
"Didn't there be a connection just now, this young man won me, the level is very high. Sun Yugang said with a smile.
"No, such a young man can actually win you at the joint ceremony?" Zheng Binyong said unexpectedly.
"It's embarrassing to say this, in fact, I thought I was nine out of ten, but this young man does have some level, better than we imagined, and I am convinced of losing. ”
Hearing the two talking about themselves, Lin Jiang said with a smile:
"Mr. Sun has won the award, it's just a fluke. ”
"Don't be modest, you win above board, I'm not as good as you. ”
"Okay, old grandson, I guess this young man is also a fluke. Zheng Binyong said.
"I can't say that, young people nowadays are amazing, I saw a few poems on Weibo a few days ago, the level is very high, to tell you the truth, I have lived so long, I can't write that level of things. ”
"Really, aren't you exaggerating. ”
"I've written it down in a small book, and I'll show it to you. ”
As he spoke, Sun Yugang took out a small notebook from his pocket and said:
"The level of these three poems is very high, especially this poem called "Will Enter the Wine", I felt shocked after reading it, it was too godly. ”
"Brother Xiao Jiang, isn't it a poem you wrote about going into wine?" Su Xiaotang said.
Hearing this, Sun Yugang was stunned for a moment, "Little girl, what are you talking about, this song "Will Enter the Wine" was written by your friend?"
Su Xiaotang nodded, "This poem was written by Brother Xiao Jiang at the poetry meeting of the District Writers Association. ”
"I've also seen this poem on the Internet, but I didn't expect to see the author here. ”
"No wonder he was able to kill all sides at the ceremony, he turned out to be so talented. ”
"Hey, when will I meet such a talented and handsome little brother. ”
"It's unlikely in this life, when you are reincarnated, give some gifts to Lord Yama, maybe there will be a little chance. ”
Sun Yugang's friend picked up his small notebook, looked at the three poems recorded on it, and said without being salty:
"It feels okay, that's all. ”
"Not really. Sun Yugang said with a smile.
He knew that his old friend was competitive, but this song "Will Enter the Wine" was absolutely perfect, and he couldn't find any flaws.
It's a bit of an exaggeration for him to say that.
"I don't know what you guys think, but I feel pretty average, not as good as you say. Zheng Binyong said.
"What's wrong, don't talk nonsense. Someone said unhappily.
"I'm just giving my opinion, can't I? I do think the level is average, not as good as you say. As for the specific difference, with your level, I won't understand it. ”
"Is it so difficult to admit the merits of others?" Lin Jiang said.
If this poem was written by him and someone stood up and accused, Lin Jiang would definitely not say anything.
But this poem was written by the poet immortal Li Bai, and it is a masterpiece that has been passed down through the ages.
This old guy actually said that the writing is not good?
Did the brain let the door clamp?
"Young man, I admit that you still have a little level, but don't be complacent, you have to humbly accept the criticism and guidance of others, in order to be able to progress, the ancients have clouds, and there must be my teacher in the threesome, and I don't even have the courage to admit that I am insufficient, and the future development space will be very limited. ”
Lin Jiang smiled, "Listening to what you say, it seems that you still have the meaning of guiding me?"
"At my level, you should be more than enough to guide. ”
"Not necessarily. ”
Zheng Binyong raised a glass of boiled water on the table and said with a smile:
"Then let's talk about water today, what do you think? ”
Looking at the water in the cup, Lin Jiang suddenly remembered that there was a book in which a dialogue between Lao Tzu and Confucius was written.
It's perfect for this occasion.
Then he smiled and said, "Why don't you learn the great virtue of water?"
Hearing this, everyone present was surprised.
Could it be that the little handsome guy wants to communicate with him in classical Chinese?
That's too difficult, isn't it?
Sun Yugang and Zheng Binyong were also stunned, they didn't expect Lin Jiang to ask questions in such a way.
Sun Yugang shook his head secretly, Lin Jiang's idea like this is very good, but he may have to touch the nail this time.
Lao Zheng's profession is different from himself, he is an expert in ancient Chinese, and Lin Jiang's question in this way can be said to be right in the middle.
I'm afraid this young man is going to suffer.
After a brief moment of surprise, Zheng Binyong returned to normal and responded in the same way.
"What is the virtue of water?"
Lin Jiang thought for a while and replied, "The good is like water, the water is good for all things without fighting, and the evil of everyone is the virtue of humility, so Jiang Hai can be the king of a hundred valleys, and if he is good, he can be the king of a hundred valleys." ”
"The world is weaker than water, and the strong can win, this is the soft virtue, so the soft is stronger, the weak is stronger than the strong. Because it does not exist, it can enter into the infernity, so that we can know the unspoken teaching, and the benefit of inaction. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, including Zheng Binyong, who didn't know how to answer.
Lin Jiang said: "Everyone is on top, the water is alone, everyone is easy, the water is alone, everyone is clean, and the water is dirty." Where there is no evil in people, who can fight with it? This is the best thing. ”
