Chapter 30 A gentleman is happy to be a gentleman
Shi Fen, who was a minor official at the beginning, served Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty. Liu Bang appreciated his humility and prudence, and summoned his sister to the palace as a beauty. During the time of Emperor Wen, Shi Fenguan went to Taizhong Doctor. After Emperor Jing ascended the throne, Shi Fen was listed as Jiuqing, and Yu Lu was 2,000 stones, and his four sons all became officials of 2,000 stones.
"Trembling, like facing the abyss, like walking on thin ice" Prudence and caution are the main characteristics of Shi Fen's character. Sima Qian believes that although Shi Fen is not good at talking, he is quick to act. Those who are quick to speak and quick to do will have peace and prosperity all their lives.
"Where is it, I can't compare to Shi Fen, Shi Fen has taught his children well all his life, and the family together is the Marquis of Wanhu, haha." Yue Guoliang laughed happily, "But although I am not a gentleman who is quick to say and quick to act, I am still willing to be a gentleman." A gentleman is happy to be a gentleman, and a villain is wronged to be a villain, Confucius said: A gentleman is frank, and a villain is often a relative. It can be seen that as a gentleman, even if the circumstances are not good, his heart is calm. Therefore, a gentleman is happy to be a gentleman. And what about the villain? They are scheming, they are trying to please on all sides, and even though they are decent and good, their hearts are worried all day long. Therefore, the villain is wronged to be a villain. β
"Okay, to put it mildly, a good gentleman is happy to be a gentleman, and a villain is wronged to be a villain." Shi De applauded Yue Guoliang's words loudly, "Brother Li's encounter also fully illustrates a truth - a gentleman is happy to be a gentleman, and a villain is wronged to be a villain." If Brother Li is worried every day and works hard to drill the camp, under the rule of Secretary Xia, not only will he not be able to rise, but he may also be suppressed. It's good now, he did his own thing frankly, just paid and didn't care about the result, and finally calmly entered the eyes of Secretary Xia in his heart. It can be seen that it is much better for people to live more openly than to rack their brains for calculations. β
"That's right, Shi De, it's rare that you have this heart at a young age, and you will definitely make great achievements in the future. I now finally understand that whether a person can succeed or not, the heart plays a decisive role. Yue Guoliang said with infinite emotion, "What kind of mind you are determines what kind of person you become." What is the nature of the mind? The outward manifestation is character. Character is destiny, and sometimes it is true when you think about it. β
"The fate of such a few historical figures is very interesting and worth pondering...... "Yue Guoliang may have drunk too much, maybe he was happy, and he kept talking," Zheng Zhilong, a native of Quanzhou in the late Ming Dynasty, he was a super pirate in Greater East Asia, born in Hirado, Japan, took his Japanese wife Tagawa Matsu, and gave birth to two sons, Fumatsu and Tagawa Shichizaemon. Fumatsu came to China after the age of 7, and took his mother to China at the age of 2l, and then his mother was raped by the Qing army and hanged herself. Who is Fousson? β
Yue Qingying has limited knowledge of history, and so does Li Sanjiang, Su Shu'e was even more dazed, and only Shi De smiled and said: "National hero Zheng Chenggong."
That's right, this half-Japanese figure who swore to avenge his mother was Zheng Chenggong, who recovered Taiwan. Every hero has a bumpy experience. Every celebrity also has a touching life ......" Yue Guoliang continued, "She is Li Hongzhang's great-granddaughter, and she has an unfortunate childhood where she was often beaten by her father; She fell in love with a big traitor and was willing to be a junior for him, but she ended up being ruthlessly abandoned; She was once criticized by the whole country as a cultural traitor, and moved more than 180 times in the United States in her later years; At the age of 75, she died alone, and was only found seven days after her death, wearing an ochre-red cheongsam for the rest of her life, desolate and tired on the floor
"I know this person, it's Zhang Ailing." Yue Qingying replied, "Although many people think that Zhang Ailing is not worthy, I still admire her character of daring to love and hate. β
"Women still don't pin their life's happiness on men, or they are easily hurt by love. The more you care about something, the more it hurts you in the end. Qingying, I don't like Zhang Ailing. Su Shu'e's words were obviously alluded to, and she glanced at Yue Qingying meaningfully, "Even if you don't marry for the rest of your life, don't be someone else's third party, you will still harm yourself in the end." is like Zhang Ailing, how pitiful she is to die alone. β
"Hehe, why did you get involved with your daughter again?" Yue Guoliang smiled and waved his hand, "Tell stories, tell storiesβhe is a warlord, and the people he admires the most are Guan Yu and Yue Fei." When the blonde and blue-eyed beauty courted, he replied: The old wife is still there; When he was dying, he refused to enter the concession; When the Nanjing Massacre, he went on a hunger strike for l days. Because he refused to defect to the Japanese army, he was assassinated by Japanese dentists when he was treating dental disease in 193. After his death, the people spontaneously sent their own departures and the whole country mourned. He was the first Chinese to appear on the cover of Time, commenting: BtmauIucEuuHe is ......"
"Wu Peifu, right?" Li Sanjiang is not very sure of his judgment, "It should be him, I remember that Wu Peifu is actually a respectable person, but some history books scandalize him out of some need." β
Yue Guoliang nodded: "Every great character has a complex side, it doesn't mean that bad people have no advantages, good people have no shortcomings, there are no perfect people in the world, and there is no end to it." β
Yes, Yue Guoliang's ideological realm has risen to a new level, so that Shi is very happy, a person's realm has improved, representing the improvement of the heart, it is foreseeable that from now on, Yue Guoliang's career will be smooth sailing.
After dinner, he chatted with Yue Guoliang about some gossip, and Shi De took his leave. From beginning to end, Yue Guoliang didn't ask a word about the relationship between Shi De and Yue Qingying, and he also saw that the relationship between Yue Qingying and Shi De was a step further, but it was only a progress in friendship, not love.
Children have their own children's blessings, and now Yue Guoliang has also seen it, so let everything follow the fate, Lao Tzu said, human law and earth, earth law and heaven, heaven law and Tao, Tao law nature, ten thousand laws of nature, I believe that my daughter will find her own happiness.
After leaving Yue's house, Li Sanjiang warmly invited Shi to sit at home, but Shi De politely refused, but he accompanied Li Sanjiang to Fuyang Park to revisit.
During the Spring Festival, although the weather is still cold, the park is full of people. People come and go, but it's not lively. Shi De and Li Sanjiang walked along the Fuyang River with their hands behind their backs.
"Brother Shi, it's hypocritical to say any more words of thanks, but I still want to say to you, you are a great benefactor for life." Li Sanjiang remembered the first time he met Shi De, and suddenly felt like a dream, "The turning point of life sometimes comes really unexpectedly, and I won't believe it if I am killed, I was really bored at that time, so I asked casually, and I asked He Ye and you ......"
Shi De smiled: "If you ask someone else, maybe your fate is not what it is now." β
"That's for sure, apart from He Ye and you, who else has such a great ability? By the way, what about Master He? β
"I don't know where He Ye went, maybe he was busy with his affairs in the capital." Shi De shook his head, "His old man's divine dragon saw the head but not the tail, and when he wanted to appear, he appeared." β
"Also, his old man is really a master who makes people look up to the mountains." Li Sanjiang looked yearning, and was about to say a few more words, when the mobile phone suddenly rang, "I'm sorry, I'll answer the phone." β
Shi De nodded and walked to the side. It is said that with his current status, there is no need to accompany Li Sanjiang for a walk, but because He Ye said before that Li Sanjiang would be his springboard, and he attaches more importance to his friendship with Li Sanjiang, he deliberately took time out to talk to Li Sanjiang. And he also knew that with his current relationship with Xia You, his attitude towards Li Sanjiang as always would be a great encouragement to Li Sanjiang.
Helping others is the foundation of happiness, but what he didn't expect was that his kindness planted good causes for him and allowed him to reap unexpected joy.
After answering the phone for a few minutes, Li Sanjiang came to Shi De's side again: "It's a friend in the capital, who said that he has a niece who wants to look for business opportunities in Shimen, and asks me if I have any acquaintances to introduce." I said no at first, but then I thought of you, hehe, without your consent, I reported your name. β
"Hehe......" Shi De smiled indifferently, "What friend?" Friend's niece, this relationship is too twisted. There are so many business opportunities in the capital, why do you still have to come to Shimen, Shimen is too bad compared with the capital. β
"Who knows, my friend said that his niece didn't know why, she just liked Shimen and wanted to come to Shimen to develop." Li Sanjiang shook his head, "A friend who is not on good terms, I met when I was in the party school in the province before, and then I went back to Shancheng and he went to the capital, and there were not many contacts, but they can be talked about." He worked in a department in the capital, and now it seems to be a deputy department. β
In the deputy hall of the capital, not to mention that it is not a substantive deputy hall, even if it is a substantive deputy hall, if it is not a key department, it is also a petty official, after all, the capital is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and high-ranking officials gather. Shi De didn't take this matter to heart, and said casually: "Okay, if you need anything, just let her find me." β
Bidding farewell to Li Sanjiang, Shi De drove around the city aimlessly by himself, from the return lane, the toddler bridge, to the Hufu riding and archery and the ruins of Zhao Wangcheng, etc., touching things and feelings, many memories were revived.
In fact, for Shan Cheng, Shi De's feelings are very complicated, for him, Shan Cheng is more intimate than the average city, but there is no sense of hometown, he spent most of his time in Shan Cheng with his stepmother, not with his biological parents, so the nostalgia is much weaker.
He also used to walk with Xia Jiang Susu on the streets of Shan City.
Shi De didn't know whether he wanted to remember anything or what he wanted to forget, so he drove around the city alone before returning to Shimen.
As soon as I arrived at Shimen, I received a call from Xia Hua.
