Chapter 167: Good as Water

PS: These two days will be very busy, there will be no update tomorrow.

"Hello Chinese friends, we are girls' generation!"

On the brightly lit stage, the girls bowed respectfully to the audience at a ninety degree, and the stage swayed a little fluorescent, red, blue, yellow, and the girls' favorite pink now, not many but the most beautiful.

In front of the two thousand foreign audiences, the girls looked a little excited and nervous. It is said that Chinese is the most difficult language in the world to learn, and a short sentence has made the girls practice for hours, and the twist of the tongue makes their pronunciation very strange, even Kim Hyo-yeon, who studied in the capital, and Kim Tae-yeon, who knows Chinese, have also reviewed it several times, and they haven't said it for a long time.

"I heard that Taeyeon Xi is very proficient in Chinese, can you say hello to the fans in the audience?" Thanks to the efforts of S.M's PR, KBS agreed to give Girls' Generation a little more chance, and the two hosts who received the above signal obediently found some opportunities for the girls. There is not much difference from the hosting team of previous sessions, they are all one man and one woman, two middle schools and two Koreans, and two Korean hosts are hosted for Girls' Generation.

"Inside." Bending down slightly, Kim Taeyeon smiled and said in Chinese: "Hello everyone, I am Taeyeon, the captain of Girls' Generation, I am very happy to be here to meet everyone, thank you very much for the organizers for taking care of us." The new year is coming, I hope you can be healthy and smile in the new year, and I hope you can support our girlhood in the new year, I haven't spoken Chinese for a long time and am a little unproficient, please bear with me! ”

The audience was immediately interested, curious about what kind of combination it was on stage, and even more curious about what kind of person the girl named Taeyeon was on stage. A person's liking often starts with curiosity, when you are curious about a person, it means that you have been attracted to him, the next step is to understand, the more you understand, the deeper you fall.

"Dafa~ I didn't expect Taeyeon Xi to speak Chinese so well, have you lived in China?" The hostess asked curiously.

"When I was a child, I traveled to China, and I became interested in Chinese at that time, and after I went back, I studied TV for a long time, and then studied with an old Chinese man for a few years." Kim Taeyeon shook her head, there are true and false in this statement, and only she, the person who said it, knows what is true and which is false, "However, we Xiaoyuan came to China to study, and we are still in Beijing." ”

"Oh? Then Hyobuchi Xi will also come to say hello to his friends in China. "Anyway, every star will have a certain amount of introduction time, and the host doesn't mind who gives the right to speak during this time, anyway, it has nothing to do with them as the host.

"Inside." Glancing at Kim Taeyeon gratefully, Kim Hyo-yeon stepped forward, she knew that this was Kim Tae-yeon's chance to show her face. Although she can speak Chinese, it is almost never her turn to speak in formal settings, either Kim Tae-yeon as the captain or Choi so-young who can speak well, and at worst the growing Seo Joo-hyun, who is designated as the speaker. This concert was in China, in addition to the introduction, the main speaker of the team was handed over to Kim Tae-yeon, who is the most proficient in Chinese, and the others were responsible for speaking Korean, but in a foreign land, passers-by who would be too interested in foreigners who could not speak their own language, and the same language was also a bridge between two strangers.

"Hello everyone, I'm... From South Korea... Kim Hyo Abyon of Zhichuan City is a girl... The times... Lead dancer, I... I've been here... Study in Beijing... The four things here are really very good~ Eat! Well... Please keep a lot of them... Concern... Girls' Generation, thank you! After saying this paragraph, Jin Xiaoyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and his palms holding the microphone were covered with sweat, only to know that he would be nervous like this.

"Wow~ Very good Chinese, so what performance is Girls' Generation going to bring today?" Hearing the command from the headset, the host shifted the topic to the topic.

"Can you tell everyone in Chinese?" Kim Taeyeon asked hopefully, for her, she can increase her popularity as much as she can add to her girlhood, and she can't let go of any opportunity.

"Absolutely." There was no command to refuse in the headset, and the host nodded without objection.

"Inner, Kangsahami Great!" bent over in gratitude to the host, "What I want to bring to you today is the title song of our first album of Girls' Generation, and it is also a song released by Lee Seung-cheol's predecessors in 89, "Girls' Generation" with the same name as our Girls' Generation! After speaking, he gestured to the host that he could start.

"Then next, I would like to invite our Girls' Generation group to bring you a performance of the song "Girls' Generation"!"

Familiar music sounded in a foreign land.

……

The 9th China-Korea Song Friends Association ended successfully, and the stars also went back to their homes to find their mothers. TVXQ and Super-Junior, two popular groups, flew to Japan and South Korea on the night of the end of the song club, and the girls didn't feel a little emotional at all, and at the same time, they were also curious about what the scene would be like if they were as popular as the two brothers. This curiosity became a reality a year or two later, and at that time they were thinking more about their current lives.

After resting for a night, Girls' Generation did not leave early like other artists, but pestered Kim so Yong to give them a little more free time, and came to Han Xiujing's local mansion in Beijing empty-handed, which was also Han Xiujing's invitation to them yesterday.

In addition to Kim Tae-yeon, who grew up in the free country of Jung so-yeon and Hwang Mi-young, and Kim Tae-yeon, who grew up in South Korea, where every inch of land is expensive, was stunned by the huge ~ large villa in front of them. The girls' recovery speed is very fast, although they haven't seen the huge area of Besano, but they have also been baptized by photos and videos, and the surprise is only a moment.

Under the leadership of the master, a group of people were sitting on the modern sofa, looking respectfully at the old man holding an old cigarette gun and smiling kindly.

"Don't be so nervous, old man, I'm also an unruly person, respect is enough in my heart, young people are energetic when they are noisy, and it's not interesting to be too old." The old man glanced at Kim Taeyeon meaningfully, making her baffled, shouldn't she be looking at this serious sweet potato next to her? How did it become her?

seemed to have guessed Kim Taeyeon's thoughts, and the old man's smile became even more confusing, "Appearance is always appearance, no matter how old she behaves, she is still a simple person, and her heart is the truest reaction." This sentence is said in Chinese, the only people who can understand it are Kim Taeyeon and Han Xiujing, the others either know nothing or half-understand, the only thing that can guess is who this sentence is said to, and the eyes tacitly swept over the person who pursed his mouth and lowered his head slightly.

The old man knocked on the ashtray with his cigarette gun, the ash in the cigarette gun was poured out, the cigarette gun was placed on the table, and the old man stood up on his knees, "I have something to say to grandpa, right?" Come here with Grandpa. Xiujing wants to treat them well, and young people can only have fun with young people. ”

"Yes~ you always walk slowly." Han Xiujing responded in a coping manner, clasping her nostrils and not caring about destroying her image in front of outsiders.

"Yaga! If you are fat, you dare to talk to Lao Tzu like this, and give Lao Tzu a two-hour horse walk tonight! The old man's sudden outburst was like thunder, and the girls were dumbfounded, and they couldn't understand the Chinese in the back, but the famous 'Baga' in Greater East Asia in front of them couldn't help but not understand, and the image of the kind and steady elder that had just been established in their hearts collapsed. Looking at the old man with his eyes, at Han Xiujing with a look of contempt, and then at Kim Taeyeon who looked at his nose and nose, the girls understood. Sooga ! No wonder their captain is out of tune, it turns out that someone is out of tune first, is this the upper beam in Han Geng's oppa's mouth is crooked? The Chinese Chinese language is really broad and profound!

In a stark departure from the modern rooms, a few beaded curtains mark another world of antique fragrance, and the incense burner on the table next to the wall, wisps of ethereal smoke emerge from its holes and drift through every corner of the room. From time to time, a few December winds blew in the open window, and the aroma of incense swept past the tip of the nose, and the spirit could not help but lift, and the fatigue slowly dissipated under the psychological effect.

On the other side of the beaded curtain, the noise has not stopped, and the vitality of young people seems to never stop. Compared to that side, this side of the bead curtain is much quieter, and the excitement on the other side of the bead curtain seems to be blocked, perhaps because of this reason, Zheng Xika, who obviously doesn't want to participate in the noisy over there, and Xu Xiaoxian, who has not yet fully developed the noisy factor, both sat here.

Kim Taeyeon was a little curious about how Choi so-young, who rejected Han so-jing yesterday, hooked up with Han so-jing all of a sudden. Growing up in South Korea, a more conservative place than China, plus Cui Xiuying, who believes in Christ, is very uninterested in same-sex love, after knowing the relationship between Han Xiujing and the girl sitting in the passenger seat yesterday, Kim Taeyeon clearly saw how much Cui Xiuying's expression changed, and she didn't have a match for Han Xiujing's words. Compared with Choi so-young, who was born and raised, Hwang Mi-young, who grew up in the United States, which is several times more open than South Korea, is not so repulsive about these, and seems to have more curiosity. The others didn't react too much to this, but they were as curious about their relationship as Hwang Mi-young, and even Seo Joo-hyun, who had always been taught to be too upright, didn't think so much.

Looking at Choi so-young, who was jumping up and down with Han so-jing's shoulder-to-shoulder, Kim Taeyeon breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, she didn't know why she felt relaxed, probably because she didn't have to worry about the relationship between the two of them.

Calming down, Kim Taeyeon withdrew her gaze and turned to look at the old man with closed eyes, she knew that the old man was not asleep, she was waiting for him to tell her the answer to the question.

The old medieval clock ticks and ticks in the corner, and the time is slowly passing. There was suddenly a little more weight on her right shoulder, and when she looked down, she saw that Zheng Xiuyan, who was holding a book and reading, was tired, her head resting on her shoulder, breathing steadily, thinking that she was already asleep. Shaking her head helplessly, Kim Taeyeon gently turned the head of Jung so-yeon on her shoulder to her lap, the meat on her thighs is much more than the meat on her shoulders, and she can sleep more comfortably.

After a long time, the old man's voice broke the silence of the room here, "Grandpa can't tell you what to do to be the best, because there is nothing so-called best in this world, everyone's judgment is different, some people think it's the best, and some people think it's not good, whether it's the best, it's good if the people around you feel it, why bother what other people think." ”

Kim Taeyeon was a little disappointed and a little relieved, she had been struggling with how to be a captain and how to do her best, the old man's answer made her a little regretful, she thought she could get a clear answer from the old man, but as the old man said, there is no best in this world.

"That's... How do I make a good captain? ”

"That's... What kind of captain do you want to be? The old man did not answer directly, but asked with a smile.

"What kind of captain?" Kim Tae-yeon hesitated, she didn't know what kind of captain she wanted to be. lowered his head and saw the sleeping face on his lap, his face was free of his usual cold disguise, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised with a faint smile, peaceful like a born baby, and his heart seemed to be melted by something. With a smile on the corner of his lips, he raised his head again, looked at Xu Zhuxian, who was looking at him worriedly, and then Lee Soon-gyu and the others, who were often separated by bead curtains and were playing in another room, the glint in their eyes became firm.

"Looks like you've figured out what kind of captain you're going to be." The old man picked up the teacup, plucked it twice with the lid of the cup, and took a sip of tea.

"Well, so I want to ask grandpa to give me some pointers." Kim Tae-yeon solemnly bowed to the old man, because the person who fell asleep on his lap was not standard for this etiquette to be effective, so the old man didn't care about these false courtesies.

"I can't say the pointing, grandpa can only tell you that the path you choose is not easy at all, and it will even be tiring, because you have to do more than just yourself." The old man put down the teacup, put his right index finger into the cup, dipped his fingertips in a little tea, and wrote a word on the vermilion wooden coffee table with his water-stained index finger, and after the water in between was dry, he reached out to the teacup again and dipped it in some water, and wrote a total of four words several times in succession:

"Up", "Goodness", "If", "Water"

If it weren't for the memory, Kim Taeyeon might have stared at the coffee table as much as Seo Joo-hyun. Looking up at the old man suspiciously, Kim Taeyeon didn't understand the meaning of the old man's writing of these four words, and he didn't know much about these four words in his memory, only that they seemed to be talking about a person's conduct.

"Goodness is like water, from the book "Lao Tzu": 'Goodness is like water, water is good for all things without fighting, and everyone is evil, so it is more than the Tao.'" It roughly means that the highest good is like water, which is good at helping all things without competing with all things, and it stays where everyone does not like, so it is close to the Tao. Water has the humility of avoiding heights and tending to go down, the pursuit of rushing to the sea, the ability to combine rigidity and softness, the generosity of accepting all rivers in the sea, the perseverance of water drops and stones, and the dedication to washing away pollution. It is benevolent, it is indifferent to fame and fortune, it strives for the interests of all things, but it does not compete with all things for profit, so there are contradictions and conflicts. ”

"Kindness is the highest character of a person, is the philosophy of Taoism, from ancient times to the present can see through, can do only a handful of people, today grandpa told you this because you chose this road, these four words as grandpa to give you the highest goal, willing to do, whether you can do it, but also depends on yourself. Another thing you have to remember is that water is indisputable to all things because it cares, and if there are things that hurt it, water will make itself terrible for them, and become an indestructible weapon, just like floods and tsunamis, people hurt what they care about. Kindness is not a forbearance. ”

The old man paused and smiled: "Don't you feel a little contradictory?" To be soft and rigid, both sounding and doing it gives people a sense of contradiction, but how much of everything in this world is not contradictory? It's just a matter of caring or not caring. Grandpa will tell you again, be a man like water, do things like a mountain, do things steadfastly, be as steady as a mountain, give people trust like a mountain, and slowly you will be the best captain in their hearts! ”

The room suddenly returned to its original quietness, the clock was ticking and ticking, the old man was drinking the tea that had been poured again, Seo Joo-hyun was struggling with the words he understood from the old man's mouth, Jung so-yeon was still immersed in the world of dreams, and Kim Tae-yeon lowered her head to understand the meaning of the old man's words.

After a long time, Kim Taeyeon raised her head again and looked at the old man for a while, and bowed to the old man again, "I know that I can't do the realm of water, and I can't fight with the world, but I will try to fight for the best interests of the people I care about like water, and let them play their own strength where I can, get their eyes, and their applause." I will also try not to get them hurt, and I will do what I can do, what I should do! ”

"It's going to be tiring."

"Don't be afraid!"

"Don't regret it in the future."

"Kim Taeyeon hesitates when she chooses, but Kim Taeyeon will never regret making a good decision!"

"Grandpa may not be able to wait for that day, but Grandpa will always cheer you on."

"Thank you, grandpa!" With the greatest respect and gratitude, Kim Taeyeon saluted again.

"Xiaoxian, take a good look at you Xiuyan Ernie, Ernie I'm going to have a good time." Gently moving Jung so-yeon onto Seo Joo-hyun's lap, Kim Tae-yeon grabbed her slippers and shouted barefoot while running barefoot amid Seo Joo-hyun's jaw-popping expression: "You baga! Be reserved outside! Look at how you look like a girlhood!! "A slipper flew in a straight line in mid-air, right in front of a creature at the same elevation.

"Elsie! Kim Taeyeon, you dare to hit me with slippers, you're tired of it, aren't you! ”

"Whoever made you stand in the middle of the road deserve it."

"Bastard! Mother, I'm fighting with you! ”

Looking at the short-bodied sisters twisted together on the other side of the bead curtain stupidly, Xu Zhuxian only felt that her little head couldn't keep up with her sisters' brainwave channels, looking at the calm old man opposite, Xu Zhuxian suddenly felt that his cultivation was not enough, and he was not calm enough in the face of the sudden convulsions of his sisters, and he was too fussful. Well, I have to work hard in the future!

Goodness is like water, goodness is like flow, life is like water, and you will be at peace with fate. Child, grandpa's words are just a suggestion, how you want to do your life depends on yourself, this is your own way.
