Chapter 248: Study Talk
There are often keyboard warriors on the Internet who criticize the people as being hoodwinked, and most of them are foolish people who don't know the truth.
This kind of person thinks that the whole world is sober and upright, and it faintly breeds an inexplicable sense of superiority because of this.
In fact, most of them are real-life losers.
But to some extent, there is some truth to this.
Based on the premise of national stability, some private information is destined to be disseminated only in a certain circle, and the public is exposed to mostly glorified information.
For example, this outbreak of the epidemic, even if it is just an ordinary large-scale flu, can cause people to hoard medicines, hospitals are overcrowded, social order is affected, and the direct and indirect economic losses are incalculable, not to mention the emergence of new virus cases?
Unless it is a last resort, once this kind of news spreads, it is enough to cause panic in society, and if it is used by people with intentions, it is even more difficult to imagine the consequences of the matter.
So, most people are able to live in peace, perhaps thanks to "ignorance".
People are actually very realistic, and they may only want a peaceful and stable life, not the so-called "truth", "democracy", and "freedom".
There are deficiencies in society, and there may be a dark side in life, but from time to time conspiracy theories, foolish policies and the like are involved, which is too extreme.
……
After the news of the epidemic was thrown on the dinner table, the atmosphere of the banquet became a little heavier, and everyone obviously lost the mind to continue dining.
"Xuanwei Daoist, I don't know if Yaxing can have a tea with the old man?" the old lady slowly got up and asked Xuanwei.
"It's what I want. Xuan smiled.
Xuan Wei guessed that Old Lady Tang would talk to him alone, and he happened to need this kind of opportunity, so it was an instant hit.
"Ah Fu, make a pot of dragon well and send it to the study. The old lady instructed the old butler beside him.
After speaking, the old lady was on crutches and led Xuanwei to his study.
The study room is not large, and can even be described as narrow, because it is full of bookcases, shelves, and books of all kinds.
As soon as he entered the study, Xuanwei smelled the spices used to prevent moths in the books, the fragrance was not strong, and the faint fragrance was just right for this kind of reading environment.
The desks and bookshelves in the study are made of top Huanghuali, which has formed a perfect pulp under the accumulation of years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a handicraft.
However, compared to these high-end furniture, Xuan Wei is more interested in the large number of books in the study, these books are almost all thread-bound books, and some of the pages have been yellowed, and they look quite old.
"It turns out that the old lady is still a lover of books. Xuanwei sighed.
"The old man has no hobbies in his life, only drinking tea, practicing martial arts and reading. Now that he is old, drinking too much tea is not good for his health, and this old bone can't continue to practice martial arts, only the old eyes have never fainted, so he can read a book to pass the time. The old lady led Xuanwei to sit down and sighed.
"The old lady is full of qi and has tough bones, except for some small problems in the stomach. With a private physician as a health consultant, it is not a problem for the old lady to live a long life. Xuan Wei said.
At this level, Xuan Wei can easily see it even without the help of Qi Looking.
"Hehe, I forgot that Xiao Sen once said that Xuanwei Daoist is still a master of medicine. The Taoist chief didn't take the pulse, so he took a rough look at the old man's situation, and this ability is indeed better than those old stubbornness who cherish themselves. The old lady took a sip of tea and said softly.
Xuanwei took a sip of the porcelain cup, the tea was emerald green, the aroma was rich, mellow and refreshing.
"What does the Taoist think of this dragon well?" asked the old lady.
The old lady didn't like the big red robe, not because he couldn't afford it, but because he thought that the big red robe was touted too tacky, and there was no need to spend that kind of unjust money to show off. Secondly, the smell of the big red robe is too strong, and it is far less suitable for an elderly person like him than Longjing.
"It's a pity that Poor Dao can only drink tea and don't know how to taste tea, which wastes the old lady's good tea. Xuan Wei said bluntly.
For Xuanwei, he values the artistic conception and atmosphere more when drinking tea, as for the quality of tea, he thinks he doesn't have much tasting ability, and he doesn't think there is much difference.
"It's still the Taoist who can see it thoroughly, isn't this tea just for drinking, why do you have to judge it?" the old lady stroked his palm and smiled.
The two chatted for a while, and the old lady finally got to the point.
"Dao Chief, do you know why the old man would agree to let Xiao Sen worship under the Dao Chief?" asked the old lady.
With the status and energy of the Tang family, no matter how uncompetitive the direct family of Mingye is, he can still be among the upper class society and enjoy all the glory and wealth. But the Tang family was actually willing to send him to the Heaven and Earth Temple, and agreed that he would become a Taoist priest, saying that it was unpleasant, which was completely harmful and not beneficial.
"I want to hear about it. Xuan Wei certainly had some conjectures, but since Old Man Tang had thrown out this question, he was happy to hear it.
"The old man has always believed that the credit for the killing in the rain of bullets at the beginning is already regarded as a favor for the Tang family today, and if he asks too much, it will not be beautiful. The descendants of the Tang family may not necessarily go to politics and the army, and they don't need to marry to consolidate their interests, how they want to live, as long as they don't break the law, the old man has no opinion. Old Man Tang said slowly.
The old man's attitude is quite similar to the Taoist "rule by inaction", as the head of the great Tang family, it is rare to have this kind of contentment and happiness.
For other people, how can rights be easily let go at present?
"The old man allows Komori to do what he likes, this is on the one hand, and on the other hand, the old man is quite relieved about you, the Taoist. The old man pointed at Xuanwei and said.
"The old lady and the president, uh, that is, the Jade Void Dao people know each other, right?" Xuan Wei said.
As early as before, when the Yuxu Daoist called to give him tomorrow night, Xuanwei guessed that the Yuxu Daoist had a relationship with the Tang family.
"Back then, we fought devils together, and it was a fateful friendship. The old lady confessed frankly.
Xuan Wei was stunned, he didn't expect that his cheap uncle would have such a green time of serving the country with enthusiasm, no wonder he was able to climb to the position of president.
"Not only the Yuxu Daoist, but even the Yuzhen Daoist, the old man also has a fate. The old lady continued.
Xuanwei's hand holding the porcelain cup trembled, he looked at the old lady Tang with a little astonishment, and said in surprise: "The old lady knows the master of the poor road?"
"Back then, the cultivation world joined hands to suppress the national movement, which was supposed to be a hero for the country and the people, but it didn't happen, but it attracted the jealousy of some people, and as a result, when the vitality of the cultivation world was greatly damaged, a cleaning activity directly made matters worse. It's a shame to say that the old man was a member of the original mediation. The old lady nodded, and said with a slightly gloomy expression.
