Chapter 131: Learn to Say No
Lu Linlan said: "Let's talk about it here first. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThe carriage is narrow, there are few people in the land, and it should not be too noisy. ā
On the surface, this is mainly about oneself, and secondarily about the person who is talking to oneself. In fact, Lu Linlan didn't speak in front of him, and the main ones who spoke were Dongfang Yiqiao and Weng Liangtian. Therefore, these two people are pointed to. Especially the dominant one, Weng Liangtian.
This sentence is Lu Linlan's final reaction.
Dongfang Yiqiao originally waited for Lu Linlan to help make a decision, but when he saw Lu Linlan, he didn't make a choice, but just forcibly stopped the conversation.
Because of the nature of the heart, it is determined that Dongfang Yiqiao will not take the lead in thinking about problems from the perspective of opposites. What she thought about was why Lu Linlan reacted this way. She knows that she is immature, Lu Linlan is old and spicy, and she wants to learn from Lu Linlan.
After that, Weng Liangtian did not stalk him. It's all in one car anyway, and there are still many days anyway, and there is time.
At the same time, Weng Liangtian also felt the resistance from Lu Linlan. I thought to myself, maybe it was because I was too eager. It seems that it has to be slow.
āā
So the carriage fell silent.
Yes, when Weng Liangtian said that it was not easy to do things in Shifang City, the other people in the carriage gradually stopped talking, and they all wanted to listen.
At this time, once Weng Liangtian stopped talking, no one in the carriage spoke.
No one spoke, and the interior of the carriage was silent.
As soon as the interior was quiet, the movement on the outside soon came to the fore.
The chariot and the horse Xiao Xiao, riding a horse, were responsible for escorting the goods, and the bow and arrow were not on the waist, but on the back.
The view of the fields, for those who have always lived in the metropolis, looks kind at first glance, and after a long time, it is just like that.
However, Dongfang Yiqiao looked at it for a while, then turned his head and asked Lu Linlan: "Sister Lu, why do I think these crops are planted very well? At least they are better than me." ā
Lu Linlan said: "That's not because it's planted well, but because the aura in the air is stronger. If you grow here, I believe it will grow better than the average person. ā
"Oh, I see. ā
A few simple questions and answers made Dongfang Yiqiao feel that Lu Linlan's attitude towards him had not changed.
Then, the previous matter, a pause, is a very clever way.
Thinking in this direction, Dongfang Yiqiao easily came to a conclusion. Now there are still more than 2,000 miles away from Shifang City, and the convoy travels 50 miles a day, 1,000 miles in 20 days, and it will take more than a month to arrive. If you don't get to the heart dock to do things, you don't need to make a decision now. So it's better to suspend and then use so many days to think about it than to make a hasty decision.
Dongfang Yiqiao felt that he had long been informed.
āā
In fact, Lu Linlan didn't mean this.
The matter of the haunting dock, there is nothing worth considering. Even if you guess wrong, the heart-wrenching dock is not a green building, but a serious shop, and you can not go to it at all.
According to the normal steps, after arriving in Shifang City, Lu Linlan and the others should first find an inn to live in, instead of rushing to find something to do.
After staying, I will get to know and be familiar with the city streets and shops, and the focus is naturally Gong Xuelin's shop.
Which shop to find to do things, you have to see if that shop is related to Gong Xuelin's shop.
If you don't have a connection, it's okay to be in a close location.
Therefore, it is absolutely not necessary to decide where to do things in the middle of the road at this time.
What's more, that Weng Liangtian is not a good person at first glance.
āā
If Weng Liangtian is really a loyal person, and Tangxinwu is also a serious shop, that is, if everything is good.
Then, agreeing to Weng Liangtian and going to Tangxinwu with him to do things in Tangxinwu is equivalent to Weng Liangtian helping Lu Linlan and the others a lot.
Why did Weng Liangtian help so much?
There is no reason.
Therefore, the previous assumption cannot be established. Namely: not everything is good.
As the saying goes, people must have something to ask for, and there is no free lunch in the world.
A stranger who is kind to himself for no reason.
Therefore, Weng Liangtian must have a plan.
There is a conspiracy, but it is kept secret, so the conspiracy is also an ulterior conspiracy, referred to as a conspiracy.
āā
Lu Linlan thought of these at once, and she didn't need to take time to think about it.
If you really want to say, there are those who need to take time to think.
That is, in the world of cultivating immortals, shouldn't you encounter robbers, why did you encounter liars?
You know, liars usually appear in times of peace and prosperity.
In troubled times, no matter what bad intentions are, they can be blatantly revealed. Thus troubled times do not need liars.
Although the world of cultivating immortals is not a chaotic world, this kind of world emphasizes strength rather than order, and its level of civilization is equivalent to that of a barbaric world.
Now, Weng Liangtian is a golden pill, and he has targeted the two of them in Yizhuji and practicing qi, but he is just cheating, not forcing by brute force, which is very strange.
This is naturally not normal. There must be some special reason for this.
However, no matter what the special reason is, the result is obvious: a dignified Jindan monk, in the face of the Zhuji nun, did not dare to rob, but just cheated.
The essence of this phenomenon is that, at least, this Jindan monk thinks that he is not sure that he can beat the Tsukiji nuns.
āā
Chengdu Wuhou Temple has a sub-couplet, which reads: If you don't judge the situation, then you will be lenient and severe, and then you should think deeply about Shu.
What this is saying is that Zhuge Liang has a good grasp of leniency, but because there is no judgment of the situation, or although there is, the judgment of the situation is not in place, so no matter how good the means of leniency and severity are, it is all in vain.
This is hindsight, provoking Zhuge Liang's troubles.
What exactly does the phrase "judging the hour and sizing up the situation" refer to in the couplet? In terms of praise, it refers to the historical trend. In neutral terms, it refers to the attribution of the final victory. The author of the couplet believes that we should follow the trend of history, first judge who the winner is, and then follow it, so that the final victory must belong to our side.
Regardless of the quality of the couplet thinking, it is only said that in the couplet, there is still a certain amount of truth in the practice of judging the situation and raising it to a higher level.
There are big and small things, and there are priorities. There are long-term things and there are short-term things. All kinds of things are mixed together, you can't do whatever you see, you should have a yardstick in your heart, understand what is prioritized, and keep in mind what things cannot be affected.
Lu Linlan believes that at present, the relatively long-term thing is also the most important thing, that is, accepting the employment of Zhong Qingyuan to take care of Gong Xuelin for Gong Yongyan.
And at this moment, he is on his way to Shifang City. Counting down a few days to the front, Lu Linlan was letting go and letting Dongfang do things skillfully. There are two reasons to let her do things. One is because Lu Linlan wants to restrain herself, and the other is because she wants to cultivate the East.
Now, I have met Weng Liangtian.
I don't know what the reason is, so Jin Dan Weng Liangtian felt that he couldn't beat Lu Linlan, so he didn't rob, but came up to cheat.
Dealing with such a thing is very easy for Lu Linlan. But what about the Oriental?
Well, people have to go through something before they can grow up. Therefore, Lu Linlan decided that as long as she didn't encounter the worst situation, she would ignore Weng Liangtian's matter. This matter should be handled by Dongfang as much as possible.
āā
When eating, Weng Liangtian ate with the team. Men are always not very good at eating.
However, it's all Jindan, why haven't you opened the valley yet?
It is important to know that after Bigu, it is very convenient. If there is something delicious, eat some, if there is nothing delicious, just don't eat it.
Of course, there are also not so good things about Bigu. That is, after Bigu, the digestive function decreases. When you encounter something delicious, you can't eat too much for fear of not digesting it.
But in any case, it's better than following the convoy and eating a big pot of food.
Weng Liangtian naturally called Dongfang Yiqiao to eat, and Dongfang Yiqiao said that he had food and didn't move. Weng Liangtian persuaded again, but seeing that Dongfang Yiqiao never moved, he finally had to leave by himself.
Lu Linlan smiled in her heart.
In this scene just now, such a situation sometimes occurs. That is, in order to prove that he really had food, Dongfang Yiqiao took out the food and showed it to Weng Liangtian.
On Weng Liangtian's side, it is absolutely impossible to just look at things. With a lid peeled off, with a cloth uncovered, he will definitely claim to want to see it carefully. When he sees the food, he will look surprised, praise it, and ask for a taste. Once you taste it, it will not be a little bit, and you will inevitably eat more and more Zhao Duo, until you don't eat enough in the East. In the end, Dongfang Yiqiao had to be invited by him to eat the team's cauldron food.
At this time, there were many people in the convoy, and there were many monks in it. Although Lu Linlan didn't find another Jin Dan, the Zhuji Monk still saw several people.
Therefore, it is not that Weng Liangtian will poison the cauldron food.
Weng Liangtian's purpose is simply to invite success.
āā
A simple invitation is successful, but it's not simple. It's really like asking for a name and age during an interrogation.
People are like this, if you don't say anything, don't explain anything, then it's easier to don't explain the next question. It is easier to go to the East to coincide here, that is, if you keep refusing, after that, it is easier to refuse again.
On the contrary, if Dongfang Yiqiao agrees to go to dinner together, he will have to find some reason for refusing next time. And for Dongfang Yiqiao, it is still a little difficult to find an unassailable reason.
As a result, it was what Lu Linlan saw, and Dongfang Yiqiao did not agree to Weng Liangtian.
What is especially interesting is that Dongfang Yiqiao just said with his mouth, and never showed the food he brought to Weng Liangtian. As for Weng Liangtian, he didn't know whether the food was on Dongfang Yiqiao or Lu Linlan, so he didn't ask for a look directly.
In fact, the reason why Dongfang didn't show Weng Liangtian food by chance, Lu Linlan knew. Dongfang Yiqiao just cherished his money, worried that Weng Liangtian would taste it when he saw it, and if he tasted it, he would taste more, and finally it would become a big eat.
So Lu Linlan felt funny.
This can be regarded as a clever attack in the East.
āā
Naturally, sleeping is separate for men and women.
There are also two kinds of self-brought tents and convoy tents, and Lu Linlan and the others are still the former.
If you bring your own tent, you must not only prepare the tent and cover, but also pay an additional fee to the team before the team will include it in the scope of protection. Therefore, the total cost is much more expensive than sleeping in a fleet tent.
From this point of view, the most important reason for the Orient to bring its own food is not frugality. She just didn't want to eat with a lot of strangers.
āā
For the next few days, nothing happened.
On this day, it was time to eat again, and Weng Liangtian naturally left. By the way, since that failed invitation to eat together, Weng Liangtian has never been invited again.
At mealtime, the convoy stopped. Therefore, most of the people in the car went down to the ground. At the very least, be able to stretch your body.
Lu Linlan and Dongfang Yiqiao also came down.
Naturally, the things were brought, and Lu Linlan had two storage rings from the Dongyuan faction.
The things that are ingenious in the East are all kept by Lu Linlan. That stuff is a bit of a mess. There are many things that Lu Linlan can't see the value.
Lu Linlan felt a little annoyed, and was ready to wait for Dongfang Yiqiao to go up to the fourth layer of Qi cultivation and give her a storage ring.
It's like this between people, it's not that the relationship is good, everything will not be annoying.
āā
In the wilderness, there are no tables or stools, which is not very convenient.
Dongfang Yiqiao wanted to eat dry food, and Lu Linlan naturally had to take it out. After taking it out, Dongfang took a look at it and said, it's not this kind, it's another kind. Lu Linlan took another one, but it was still not. Take out the third one, right. Dongfang took it by chance and started eating.
Women are different from men, they should not grab too much food in their hands, and they can only come back after eating. So Dongfang ate some by skill, Lu Linlan took some, and asked for water to drink in between.
Lu Linlan secretly thought in her heart, she must let Dongfang use her skills to practice the fourth layer of qi as soon as possible, so that she can give her a storage ring!
āā
When they had almost eaten, the two of them began to walk.
"Hey, I suddenly remembered something!" the words were urgent, Dongfang Yiqiao choked on his own saliva, coughed for a while, and then stopped.
"I suddenly remembered that we came to Shifang City to take care of Gong Xuelin. Where Gong Xuelin is, I don't know until I arrive. And where is the haunting dock that Weng Liangtian said? Therefore, I think it is better not to agree to Weng Liangtian. If you agree, if that haunting dock is far away from Gong Xuelin's shop, wouldn't it be a bad thing!"
Growing up, at least I already know that the little things obey the big things.
Lu Linlan said: "I remember, it seems that we have never agreed to that Weng Liangtian." ā
"That's right. But," Dongfang Yiqiao said, "what should I say if he arrives in Shifang City and leaves the convoy when he invites him again?"
Lu Linlan smiled and said, "Actually, you know which direction you should say, but you don't know what words to say yet." ā
"I don't think so," said Dongfang Yiqiao, "I am a person, and if someone is evil to me, I am nothing. I'm afraid of being as kind as Weng Liangtian. I heard that human affection is as big as the sky, and what kind of hospitality is difficult to resist, so I don't know how to refuse others, or how to refuse so as not to hurt others' face. ā
"Don't think about it so much," Lu Linlan said, "You know that you should say no, just say the no." Learning to say no actually means saying no. People, the first important thing is yourself. If you don't respect yourself, how can you respect others? Therefore, other people's face is ranked behind themselves. ā
Dongfang thought for a moment and said, "This...... I think it's so difficult. ā
"I remember that you once encountered a very unpleasant incident," Lu Linlan said, "In the future, when you say no, you will treat what others want you to do as if you were asking you to do that." Believe that without a word, you will be able to say it. ā
"Is that okay?"
