Chapter 17: On Verses
"Sister Liu, I'm sorry, it's too late for the traffic jam on the road. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
When they arrived at the box, Liu Qing saw Sister Liu and Yaya, who had already arrived, in addition to their mother and daughter, there was also a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses who looked a little crepe.
"Hehe, it's not too late, we have just arrived, Xiao Liu, sit down."
Sister Liu said with a smile, then pointed to the middle-aged man next to her, and said, "Xiao Liu, let me introduce you, this is my lover Fan Zhiming." β
"Hello Brother Fan, it's a pleasure to meet you." Liu Qing stretched out his hand to Fan Zhiming, the two shook it, and Fan Zhiming said gratefully: "Liu Qing, I really want to thank you for today's matter, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid Yaya would be more auspicious!" β
"Yes, Liu Qing, your kindness, we husband and wife, we will never forget it in this life." Sister Liu also said a sentence and said to Yaya: "Thank you, uncle." β
Yaya said, "Thank you, uncle." β
"Sister Liu, shouldn't you two just keep saying thank you to me today?" Liu Qing looked at them with a wry smile, "I'll save Yaya, that's how it should be, don't be polite to me, okay?" β
"How can that work?" Sister Liu shook her head and said, "We are not the kind of ungrateful people......
Before she finished speaking, Fan Zhiming interrupted her, "Okay, don't keep talking about it, okay?" Since we met, we were fated. Saying that, he smiled at Liu Qing and said: "Liu Qing, if there is anything in the future, as long as it is your sister Liu or me, who can help, you can squeak, don't be polite." Okay, right? β
"Okay." Liu Qing nodded.
Next, when ordering, Sister Liu took the menu and ordered it vigorously, Liu Qing thought about it for a while, and did not stop it, he knew that this was a mood that Sister Liu wanted to express her gratitude.
When the dishes were served, the wine went through three rounds, and except for Yaya, the three of them drank several glasses of wine.
After some talking, Liu Qing probably has some understanding of Sister Liu and her family. Sister Liu's big name is Liu Meixia, she works in a public institution, what unit is it, what position she holds, Liu Meixia did not elaborate, Liu Qing naturally did not ask, and Fan Zhiming opened an advertising company by himself, and the current development is not bad.
"Come, Liu Qing."
Liu Meixia stood up, held the glass, and said to Liu Qing with a serious face: "Sister toasts you with a glass of wine, if you have any more words, sister won't say anything, everything is in the wine." β
"Okay, let's go." Liu Qing was not ambiguous, picked up the wine glass, and drank it all.
Ding, Fan Zhiming's mobile phone on the side, rang, he picked it up casually and looked at it, his eyes suddenly lit up, he whispered quickly a few times, slapped the table, and said excitedly: "Okay!" Good! Good! β
"Old Fan, what kind of neurosis do you have?"
Liu Meixia was startled by Fan Zhiming's action of slapping the table, frowned, and glared at him unhappily.
Liu Qing was also a little curious, what did he see, which made Fan Zhiming pat the table and praise it.
"Hehe, I'm sorry Liu Qing."
Fan Zhiming came back to his senses, smiled apologetically at Liu Qing, and then explained to Liu Meixia: "Just now, someone sent a message saying that Master Kongshan has finally come out of the customs after two years of sitting meditation practice!" β
Liu Qing blinked, and from Fan Zhiming's words, he could hear that this Empty Mountain Master seemed to be very famous.
"Hehe, Liu Qing, you may not know that Master Kongshan is very famous in the Buddhist world, and he has comprehended many Zen sayings, which are thought-provoking."
Liu Meixia saw Liu Qing's puzzled face, and explained to him, "Our old fan has a wide range of interests and a wide range of interests, especially for Buddhist culture, I especially like it. I guess I must have seen Master Kongshan say something just now, so I let him say a word. Am I guessing right, Lao Fan? β
"Haha, you really know that I am better than you!" Fan Zhiming nodded and smiled, and said to Liu Qing: "Liu Qing, you are an editor and a cultural person, have you usually learned about Buddhist culture?" β
"Brother Fan, I only know a little bit about Buddhist culture." Liu Qing shook his head and smiled.
Fan Zhiming said with a smile: "Hehe, in fact, the Buddhist culture is broad and profound, and the Zen sayings in it contain a lot of great truths in the world. β
"Okay Lao Fan, if you like Buddhist culture, you like it, don't see a person and persuade others to learn from you, let me tell you, if it was put decades ago, just at what you just said, I can report you for promoting feudal superstition, you know?" Liu Meixia joked with a smile and asked casually: "What did Master Kongshan say this time?" Makes you so excited? β
Liu Meixia's words can be regarded as scratching the itch in Fan Zhiming's heart, just like a person who likes to play chess, once he studies a certain chess path, he must want to find someone to try it at the first time.
"Naturally, it's a very subtle, thought-provoking phrase." Fan Zhiming looked at Liu Meixia with a smile, "However, even if I say it, you won't understand, so I won't tell you." β
"Old Fan, I don't like to hear you say such things."
Liu Meixia had a pretty face, pretended to be angry, pointed at him and said: "That's right, I don't understand the clouds and fog that you admire, like guessing rice and tongue twisters, that's your cultural business, but I'm not alone in the scene today, isn't there Liu Qing?" I don't understand, Liu Qing must understand. As he spoke, he quietly glanced at Fan Zhiming.
"Yes!" Fan Zhiming was stunned, and immediately understood what Liu Meixia meant, she was reminding herself not to snub Liu Qing, Fan Zhiming said to Liu Qing with a smile: "If you Sister Liu don't say it, I almost forgot about it." β
In fact, Fan Zhiming didn't forget, but he felt that since Liu Qing didn't understand, talking to him was also playing the piano to the cow.
"Hehe, Sister Liu, don't hold me there, to be honest, I don't understand." Liu Qing said with a smile, he also saw Liu Meixia's action of glancing at Fan Zhiming.
"It's okay if you don't understand, I can explain it to you."
Fan Zhiming smiled, didn't look at his phone, and said: "This sentence has been spread on the Internet just now. Listen well, 'The body is a Bodhi tree, the heart is a mirror platform, always wipe diligently, don't cause dust', how about it, is it a shocking saying? β
Liu Qingden was shocked - it's just that he never thought that these few words could be thought of by people in this world.
"What a mess of Bodhi, Spiegel, I don't understand." Liu Meixia frowned and said, "Isn't it okay to wipe it so as not to stick to the dust?" I really didn't hear it, so what's so good! β
"You, you, you really don't understand anything."
Hearing Liu Meixia's words, Fan Zhiming said with a smile: "You can't even understand such a subtle verse, let me explain it to you, so as not to make jokes in the future, the meaning of this verse is that the body is like a Bodhi tree that made people realize back then, and the heart is a bright mirror, constantly looking at yourself and reflecting on yourself, so as not to let the dust of the mortal world blind the heart of light!" β
"Well, I see, I understand your explanation." Liu Meixia nodded, repeated these verses a few times, and couldn't help but nodded, "It's really good." It's just that it hasn't shocked me yet. β
"What do you mean by really good?" Fan Zhiming was a little unhappy and said, "Do you think such a subtle sentence can be said by any person?" It doesn't matter what you say to me, if you say this on the Internet, you will definitely be scolded for being bloody! β
"Is that an exaggeration?" Liu Meixia was a little unconvinced, and retorted: "I really haven't found out, how subtle this verse is, are you right Liu Qing?" As she spoke, she looked at Liu Qing.
"Huh?" Liu Qing came back to his senses and said with a little apology: "What's the matter, Sister Liu?" Sorry, I was a little distracted. β
"That's right." Fan Zhiming spoke first: "You Sister Liu said, these verses can only be regarded as good at best, Liu Qing, you must be able to understand the meaning of these verses, you can be a referee for the two of us, you say, isn't this verse bad?" β
"That's it, your brother Fan just likes to shout and make a fuss." Liu Meixia snorted and said, "Liu Qing, tell me, what's so good about this verse?" It's very ordinary! β
"This."
Liu Qing smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Fan, to be honest, I think these few words of Master Kongshan are ......."
"What do you think? Isn't it good? Fan Zhiming asked.
"It's not that it's bad. But it can't be said to be good. Liu Qing thought for a while and said with a smile: "It just so happens that I also thought of a verse." Why don't I say it and compare it with Master Kongshan's words? β
"What?"
Fan Zhiming was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing, "Liu Qing, it's not that Brother Fan underestimates you, although this verse looks very ordinary on the surface, and even some vernacular, but the real essence of the verse is that there is a deep meaning and truth in this ordinary!" It's not just a few words that can be called verses. He shook his head. This Liu Qing is still a little too naΓ―ve.
But it's also normal, just a college student who has just graduated.
"Old Fan."
When Liu Meixia heard his words, she raised her eyebrows, "I don't want to listen to what you say, who said that only those masters and monks can sit in meditation and speak in the Analects?" Can't ordinary people speak verses? β
"It's not that you can't say. It's a thing like a verse, and ordinary people really can't say it. Fan Zhiming smiled, too lazy to argue with her.
"Cut, I really don't believe it!" Liu Meixia was even more dissatisfied in her heart, and said to Liu Qing: "Come, Liu Qing, you can tell me what you think of, it's okay, whatever you say, the eldest sister will definitely applaud you." β
When Fan Zhiming heard her words, he shook his head and was speechless, this is obviously a competition with himself!
"Okay, just have Sister Liu cheering me on. But first, I'll talk about Master Kushan's words. β
Liu Qing nodded with a smile, and said seriously: "The body is a Bodhi tree, and the heart is a mirror platform, always wipe diligently, don't make dust, right?" This is a good saying, but it is inevitably a little obsessive, and a little childish. β
"Yes, Liu Qing said it well." Liu Meixia immediately applauded and said with a smile: "I think so too." It's just that it's not as good as Liu Qing's summary. β
Young man, too arrogant, Fan Zhiming shook his head again, the words he admired were judged by Liu Qing like this, in his heart, his good impression of Liu Qing couldn't help but fade a little, and he said nonchalantly: "Liu Qing, since you think it's not good, then tell me what you just thought of?" β
Liu Qing nodded, he could see that Fan Zhiming's attitude towards him at this time was obviously a little cold, but he didn't take it to heart, closed his eyes and brewed his emotions for a while, and then, he opened his eyes and said slowly word by word: "Bodhi has no tree, the mirror is not a platform, there is nothing originally......" He paused slightly, looked at Fan Zhiming, smiled slightly, and said the last sentence: "Where is the dust?" β
