"I still don't understand what is the mandate of heaven, what is fate and what is called yin fate, Shi De, please make it clear in human words, don't use myths, can it be?" Xia Hua's eyes widened, and her face was confused.

"Okay, I'll explain it in more layman's terms." Shi De smiled faintly and said calmly, "From the perspective of fate, all psychology and behaviors that are conducive to social progress and the interests of the public are destiny. Property, reputation, technology, talent, knowledge, and so on are fate. Greed, hatred, ignorance, resentment, anger, harm to others and self-interest, and illegal thoughts and behaviors are all yin. Since we are in business, then from the perspective of management, the further explanation is that the mandate of heaven is to serve others, to serve the public, is a moral industry, can accumulate the luxury of the enterprise and increase the luck of the enterprise. Fate, which is equivalent to exchange, is a business, which can accumulate the wealth of the enterprise and increase the strength of the enterprise. Yin life is harmful to others and oneself, it is harmful to others, it is sinful karma, and it is to lose the fortune and reputation of the enterprise...... Got it? ”

"Understood." Xia Hua and Quan You understood, Xiao Zuo didn't know, but he did understand, Shi De meant that a first-class enterprise, serving the society for the benefit of the people, and doing the destiny of heaven. Medium-sized enterprises, making money first, do not talk about dedication, only talk about equivalent exchange, and practice fate. Inferior enterprises, cheating, tax evasion, self-interest, interests first, and yin life.

"I don't know my answer, is Xiao Dong satisfied?" Shi De saw Xiao Zuo nodding in approval of his answer, and knew that the first level of Xiao Zuo's three levels was passed.

"Satisfied, satisfied." Xiao Zuo nodded again and again, he would not deliberately make it difficult to get it, and he deliberately said that he was not satisfied when he was satisfied, he was deeply influenced by Confucianism, and he adhered to the principle of honesty.

"Okay, then Xiao Dong can ask a second question." Shi De nodded, Xiao Zuo is not bad, although he has the problem of lust and fraternity, but no one is perfect, relatively speaking, Xiao Zuo's honesty is enough to be stronger than many people.

Of course, Xiao Zuo also has the arrogance common to rich children, but then again, Xiao Zuo is also rare and knowledgeable among the rich second generation.

"Okay, the first question is too metaphysical, and the second question is more metaphysical, what is the Nine Elegances of Life?" There is no unified answer to the first question, although Shi De answered very well, but as long as people who are well-read and have a certain foundation in Chinese studies can answer it, then it is necessary for him to test Shi De's thoughts on Confucianism, how much do he know, Xiao Zuo continued to the second question, "I Ching" said, the metaphysical is the way, and the metaphysical is the instrument. ”

The metaphysical thing is the Tao, which refers both to the philosophical method and to the activity of the mind. Metaphysical refers to something concrete and palpable.

Seeing Xiao Zuo's question, he flickered and flickered, up and down, Shi De smiled secretly, fortunately, he was deeply influenced by his stepmother since he was a child, and he has always been very interested in Chinese studies, and later during college, he did not interrupt the study of Chinese culture, and then met He Ye, after being exposed to physiognomy, his interest in Chinese culture was even stronger, if not, Xiao Zuo's problem could really stump him.

As it can be seen, knowledge is power, knowledge is wealth, and indeed it is also truth.

Xia Hua listened to Xiao Zuo's question, she was stunned for a moment, thought about it, couldn't think of an answer, and thought to herself that it seemed that it was really right to let Master Shi Deshi come forward, and she was replaced by her, let alone answering Jiuya in life, she was defeated in the first life and three lives.

All of you have the same thoughts as Xia Hua, he sighed while secretly glad that he had found the right partner, Shi De is not only a face master, but also a master of Chinese studies, great, simply great, as far as he knows, only a few of the most influential businessmen in Shimen, such as Ye Dacheng and Li Changfeng, are very respectful of Buddhism and Confucianism, and he neither understands Buddhism nor has Confucian knowledge.

Indeed, as the ancients said, the chest is as empty as the bones, and the belly is full of poetry and calligraphy...... A person who has read more, has rich knowledge, has a wide range of knowledge, and has opened his horizons, whether he is engaged in politics or business, he can be invincible. Knowledge changes destiny, which is also a clear statement.

Quan You honestly admits that he doesn't know anything about whether it is three lives in life or nine elegances in life, and if he is asked to answer Xiao Zuo's question, he will definitely get zero points.

What is the Nine Elegances of Life? Quan You looked at Shi De with anxiety in his heart, Shi De didn't know that it would be miserable if he didn't know it.

What made Quan You's heart rise to his throat was that Shi De did not answer immediately, but frowned slightly, as if he didn't know or wasn't sure of the answer, as if he was trying to think about it. Don't, Brother Shi, Master Shi, you have to be able to answer Xiao Zuo's questions, you can't let Xiao Zuo be too proud. If you kill him, it is equivalent to raising your eyebrows for me, otherwise, if you are stumped by Xiao Zuo, not only will there be no use in borrowing funds, but even I will be disgraced.

Xiao Zuo saw that Shi De fell into deep thought, and secretly smug in his heart, he stumped many people with the problems of Jiuya in life, even the professors of the Chinese department of some universities only knew one and did not know the other, not to mention Shi De, who was younger than him?

Xia Hua saw that Shi De was suddenly silent, and she was also secretly worried, don't drop the chain at a critical moment, Shi De, you have already got more than 3.36 million, and if you answer one more question, it will be more than 3.36 million, you must know that you have received the education that knowledge is wealth since you were a child, and now it is the most powerful proof that knowledge is wealth, and you must not miss this great opportunity to turn knowledge into wealth in an instant.

Fortunately, Shi De didn't make Xiao Zuo proud for too long, nor did he let Xia Hua and Quan You worry too much, only been silent for a while, and then he spoke again: "The nine elegances of life are piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine, flowers, tea, and jade ......."

Quan Youchang breathed a sigh of relief, Grandma Panda, Shi De finally answered, and obviously, Shi De definitely answered correctly, because as soon as Shi De finished speaking, he realized that he also knew what Jiuya in life was, but when Xiao Zuomeng asked, his brain was short-circuited and he couldn't remember.

Xia Hua's reaction was more exaggerated than Quan You, and she slapped the table suddenly: "Piano, chess, books, paintings, poems, wine, flowers, tea, jade, life is nine elegant, it's too right." ”

Xiao Zuo was taken aback by Xia Hua's movements, but then he regained his composure and smiled slightly: "Only answer piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine, flowers, tea, and jade, it's too general, you can't be counted as all right, Master Shi......"

Ah, Xiao Zuo is deliberately making things difficult, since he answered correctly, why isn't it all right? Xia Hua was no longer at it: "Xiao Zuo, you have to talk as a man, and you can't go back on your word." ”

Quan You couldn't help it: "Chairman Xiao Zuoxiao, you are too unlevel, believe me or not."

"I haven't finished my words yet...... Shi De smiled and waved his hand at Xia Hua and Quan You, "Don't worry, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." Since Xiao Dong thinks that my answer is too general, okay, let's talk about it in detail - the qin, the pine wind at the bottom of the strings tells the ancient and modern, and it is difficult to find a bosom friend in the red dust. Chess, upside down is also strange, black and white, why bother to talk about high and low. Books, indulge in the east wind and read under the moon, the chai door is closed, and the guests don't care. Painting, slender hand pine smoke dyed plain yarn, Ying Ying wrote, two or three cottages. Poems, gargling jade with fragrant splendid words, can be chanted, good sentences are pondered. ”

"Wine, with the eternal sorrow, the cup is full, and Mojiao tears flow. Flowers, the calyx green flowers on the side of the bridge outside the post, rise with the wind, fluttering to the end of the world. Tea, fragrant throat to boost people's minds, pinch your fingers, leisurely refreshing the heart. Jade, exquisite, transparent, pure and elegant, carrying ten thousand ways, nourishing the mind and moistening the heart" After speaking, Shi De smiled at Xiao Zuo calmly, "Explain it like this, I don't know what Xiao Dong thinks?" ”

"Good, good. Wonderful, wonderful. Xiao Zuo clapped his hands and raised his teacup, "Replace wine with tea, and give a cup to the master." I didn't expect to meet someone as high as Master Shi in the cultural desert of Shimen, which is really rare and worth celebrating. ”

Shi De and Xiao Zuo clinked glasses and smiled modestly: "Shimen Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, I'm just a drop in the ocean, Xiao Dong don't kill me, hehe." ”

"Haha." Xiao Zuo admires talented people the most, especially the master of Chinese culture who has the essence of Confucianism, although he cannot be identified as a master of Chinese culture based on just two questions, but at least within the scope of his vision, Shi de is the youngest and most talented person.

In all fairness, Xiao Zuo now has a heart for Shi De. It's just that he and Shi De's tricks haven't finally decided the winner, so he can only temporarily suppress the thoughts in his heart.

"Third question, please comment on my past, present and future." The last question falls on the face, Xiao Zuo, who has studied traditional culture, knows very well that throughout the history of China, fortune tellers or charlatans have always existed by the emperor's side, they hide behind the scenes, although they have never been recorded in history, but they have strategized and secretly decided many major events - even major events that affect the rise and fall of a dynasty.

The great figures recorded in history are partly due to fate, and partly due to the impetus of the masters behind them.

Xiao Zuo's question is quite difficult, and for an ordinary physiognomy master, it is not difficult to deduce a person's past fate. Further, it is not very difficult for a physiognomy master of the middle gate to observe a person's current condition. But if it rises to the point where a person's future fate can be calculated, it will be difficult to climb to the sky

If a physiognomy master can accurately deduce a person's past, present and future, then he must at least reach the realm above the middle gate of the master to come to the conclusion that six points are accurate and four points are not true, after all, a person's physiognomy only determines a part of the fate of a life, but the mind can determine most of it, and the mind cannot be seen or touched, and there is no way to start.
