"Do you know why the standard length of chopsticks is seven inches and six minutes?" Le Lao suddenly asked Chen Houde who was holding the chopsticks.

"Ah...... What do you keep talking about?" Chen Houde raised his head and looked at Le Lao in a daze. After reading the newspaper, Chen Houde became a little absent-minded.

"What's the matter, aren't you happy to eat with my old man?" then get out of the way for me...... "Old Le looked at Chen Houde with a solid face and faint displeasure.

"Oh! no...... I...... I...... I was thinking about things, so I lost my mind. Chen Houde immediately explained.

"Tell me why the length of these chopsticks is seven inches and six minutes?" Le Lao shook the chopsticks in his hand.

"Is this also exquisite?" Chen Houde looked at the chopsticks in Le Lao's hand suspiciously.

"Of course!"

"I really don't know this, you keep telling me?" Chen Houde shook his head.

"Seven inches and six minutes represent that people have seven emotions and six desires, to show that they are fundamentally different from animals. Chopsticks are round at one end and square at the other. The circle symbolizes the sky. The symbolic place of the square corresponds to the round heaven and the earth, which is the Chinese people's understanding of the basic principles of the world.

Secondly, when holding chopsticks, the thumb and index finger are on the top, the ring finger and the little finger are at the bottom, and the middle finger is in the middle, which is the image of the three talents of heaven, earth and man, which is the Chinese people's understanding of the relationship between man and the world; Tai Chi is one, Yin and Yang are two; one is divided into two, which means that everything is composed of two opposites; two are one; the combination of yin and yang also means a perfect result. Le Lao told the story.

"I see, I've been taught!" Chen Houde really didn't know that a pair of chopsticks contained so much truth.

"Have you read the book "1999, Win Without a Fight"?" asked Lao Le, picking up a piece of rotten meat and chewing it.

"I've heard that it's a book written by Nix Axon, but I haven't read it. Chen Houde replied truthfully.

"Hmm!" Le Lao nodded and said with a heavy face: "Nixon said this sentence in the last part of the book: When one day, the young people of China no longer believe in the teachings of their ancestors and their traditional culture, our people will win without a fight. If there is a day, even if the country is still there, the people are still there, but the Chinese civilization is gone, although the body is there, the heart is dead. Hopefully, you'll all recognize that. ”

Although Chen Houde didn't understand why Le Lao said this to himself, he still nodded heavily, "Hmm!"

"I'm going to take you as a closed disciple. Le Lao said with a thunderous voice, as if he was saying something inconsequential.

"Ah......" Chen Houde shook his head, and then returned to normal, and the wine fairy Du Kang mentioned this to him, so he didn't feel too surprised.

Chen Houde pondered for a while and said: "Character determines fate, and the path of career is not suitable for me." ”

Chen Houde was ecstatic about Le Lao's acceptance of himself as an apprentice, which means that someone in Shencheng will "cover" himself in the future, and he is no longer a boundless water and a rootless Ping.

If Chen Houde can vote under Le Laomen, then he will develop in Shencheng in the future, although he will not be able to rise to the top, but at least he will get twice the result with half the effort, and the most important thing is that Chen Houde is a person with an "owner", and if other forces want to move him, then they have to consider the consequences.

However, Chen Houde knows that Le Lao is the dean of the law school, and most of the students he teaches are developing in their careers, while Chen Houde is studying psychology, so he feels that this is a bit wrong.

"People are precious in self-knowledge, but you have self-knowledge. Le Lao nodded and continued: "I have accepted six disciples, all of whom teach them how to be officials and how to serve the people? As for you, I don't force it, I only teach you how to be a person." ”

"For people?" Chen Houde said.

"Yes, for people. People, one by one, are simple and support each other, so that they can have flesh and blood, and only then can they stand up to the sky. One or one less pinch is missing, and he can't stand up straight, so he can only fall to the ground and become a stick. Skimming and plucking, adult. A pinch and a skimm, into ?v. If you write in the right direction, you will achieve a lifetime, and if you write in the wrong direction, you will lose your life. Le Lao said with great feelings.

"Hmm!" Chen Houde nodded, hesitated, and asked, "Is it because of Ma Dumo's suicide in fear of sin, did you take me as an apprentice?"

"There's a reason for that, but I had the intention of taking you as a disciple, and Madumoth's death was just putting the matter on the agenda. Le Lao said truthfully.

Chen Houde's eyes lit up, and he asked weakly, "Then when will you accept me as an apprentice?"

"After eating, you kid will bow to me and give me a cup of tea. Le Lao said very casually.

"Huh......? This is too simple, isn't it?" Chen Houde rolled his eyes and said weakly.

"What, you're not satisfied, then how do you want to apprentice?"

Chen Houde swallowed his saliva and said weakly: "Apprenticeship is a big deal, how can you have the whole introducer, witnesses, squires and celebrities to have a lively time?"

Chen Houde is worried about this "sloppy" apprenticeship, everyone doesn't know that he is a disciple of Le Lao, so he wants to make this apprenticeship lively, and then he will be able to "arrogant" in Shencheng.

Obviously, Le Lao also knew the little Jiujiu in Chen Houde's heart, and said directly: "Then I won't accept you as a disciple." ”

"Don't...... Since you don't like red tape, let's do what you want. Chen Houde hurriedly said.

Le Lao glanced at Chen Houde, and then asked, "Then let me ask you a question, and if the answer satisfies me, I can call a witness to come and observe this apprenticeship." ”

"You always speak!" Chen Houde looked at Le Lao.

"Recently, everyone has been discussing a very interesting issue. That's to give you five centimeters, where do you want to add it?I want to see your answer from the master of the Bahu Net?" Le Lao looked at Chen Houde with a smile, and then added: "This is an entry assessment. ”

Please go elsewhere if you are promoted and make a fortune, don't enter the door if you are greedy for life and fear of death, and criticize horizontally: Le Laomen. Le Lao accepted six disciples, and each disciple Le Lao would give a question for assessment, and among these six disciples, Fu Quan was the most suitable for Le Lao, and he was also the most favored one by Le Lao. It's a pity that Fu Quan is not angry, and he wants to do business, not be an official. The old-fashioned thing is blowing his beard and glaring, and he almost broke off the master-apprentice relationship.

Obviously, Le Lao repeated his old tricks and wanted to see how Chen Houde, a closed disciple, answered this question, and the most perfect answer in Le Lao's heart was: national borders.

"Ah, is there such a problem on the Bahu network?" Chen Houde said, he really didn't know that there was this problem on the Bahu network, this was all an interactive problem concocted by Du Ruoshui, the general manager of Bahu.com, the purpose was to let more people participate, understand Bahu.com, and promote Bahu.com.

"Five centimeters?...... Five centimeters...... Five centimeters ......" Chen Houde was stunned to read the "five centimeters", and then he had an idea and said: "There is." ”

"Oh! Le Lao looked at Chen Houde expectantly.

"Five centimeters is just a tiny fraction. Chen Houde gestured with his hand, and then said sonorously: "But these five centimeters are added to my Huaxia territory." That's not a small thing, it's an infinite area. ”

Le Lao smiled, and then "hahaha" laughed, obviously Chen Houde's answer made him very satisfied.

His answer is the border of the country, and Chen Houde's answer is the territory of China, and it is obvious that Chen Houde's answer is better.

"When the float is white. Le Lao said with great satisfaction.

"Then what is the answer in your old heart?" asked Chen Houde curiously.

"Territorial borders!, but your answer is slightly better than mine. ”

…………

After Chen Houde finished eating with Le Lao, he was sent by Le Lao to clean up the "mess", and Le Lao was in a good mood and practiced calligraphy at the desk.

Chen Houde finished cleaning up the table, made a cup of tea for Le Lao and walked over, and then handed the tea to Le Lao: "Come, you always drink tea to moisten your throat." ”

When Le Lao saw Chen Houde coming, he handed the wolf pen in his hand to Chen Houde, pointed to a pair of upper couplets on the rice paper on the desk and said, "Come, you fill in the lower couplets." ”

Chen Houde took the pen, handed the tea to Le Lao, looked at the upper couplet on the rice paper, hesitated slightly, and then waved the pen, the pen walked the dragon and snake, and wrote seven big characters on the side.

Uplink: "Write life one by one", and downlink: "Half a voice and half a thought of ambition".

At this moment, Du Kang, an unreliable witness, pushed the door in. Because not long ago, Le Lao called Du Kang and asked him to come over as a witness.

In the end, under the witness of Du Kang, Chen Houde bowed to Le Lao, gave a cup of tea, and officially became Le Lao's closed disciple.
