Since Shi De is the future son-in-law, who does he not help Shi De? What's more, he used personal relationships, not power.

"I heard that you admire Li Ka-shing very much?" After sitting down, Xia Hua served tea, Li Changfeng picked up the tea, tasted it gently, put it down again, and asked Shi De's question, "Do you know that the only piece of calligraphy hanging in Li Ka-shing's office is a poem inscribed by Zuo Zongtang in the plum garden of Wuxi, Jiangsu Province by the Confucian general of the Qing Dynasty - make a high-class wish, get married, and enjoy the blessings of the inferior; Choose a high place to stand, find a peaceful place to live, and go to a wide place - Xiao Shi, tell me, how should you understand these words? ”

The difficulty of this question is not small, Shi De has long heard of Li Changfeng's profound knowledge of Chinese studies, and he also knows that if he wants to win Li Changfeng's approval, he must first pass his exam. It is said that Yu Shuai also passed Li Changfeng's initial test, and if he was asked by Li Changfeng's first question, he would be too sorry for a good show carefully arranged by Xia You.

Xia You was slightly shocked in his heart, he also knew that Li Changfeng would definitely take the test for Shi De, but he didn't expect Li Changfeng's first question to be so difficult, although he was confident in Shi De, he still couldn't help but worry about Shi De, if Shi De's first question was not answered well, a meeting he specially arranged might be a result that ended without a problem.

Not only was Xia You worried about Shi De, but Zheng Wenting also frowned, thinking that Li Changfeng was getting older, how could he know that he was embarrassed by young people? After all, young people are still young, and it is necessary to give young people more room to grow, rather than hitting their confidence with big problems as soon as they come up.

Only Xia Hua glanced at Shi De very calmly, not worried about Shi De at all, because she knew that her Shi De would definitely be invincible.

But not to mention, it is precisely because Xia Hua has great trust in Shi De that her eyes when she looks at Shi De are bright and brilliant, so that Shi De sees it in her eyes and receives great encouragement.

Encouragement is the greatest solace and the motivation that enables a person to reach their potential to the fullest. Although Shi De was slightly nervous, but seeing that Xia Hua was full of confidence in him, he had no reason not to believe in himself, thought about it slightly, and said: "These 24 words condense the profound philosophy of life, making superior wishes, getting married, and enjoying inferior blessings, that is, having lofty ambitions, only seeking medium fate, and living an ordinary life; Choosing a high place to stand, sitting on a flat place, and walking in a lenient place is to look at the problem with a far-sighted view, be a low-key person, and leave room for doing things. Looking at the upper, middle and lower, looking at the height, flat and wide, thinking of the bottom when the top is up, and looking for the wide when standing high. Therefore, no matter how intricate the contradiction is, we can deal with changes without being alarmed, and we can not only create a career, but also keep a career. ”

Li Changfeng listened, nodded slightly, and said, "Let's talk about it in detail......

Xia You thought helplessly, where is Li Changfeng getting the test, it is obviously difficult to get it.

Shi De also realized Li Changfeng's "extra care" for him, and rose to the challenge: "As far as my personal understanding is concerned, to make a superior wish and choose a high place is to have lofty ideals and ambitions. Tao Yuanming has a poem that says: Jingwei Weimu will fill the sea; Xingtian Dance is dry, and fierce ambition is always there. If you don't have a will, there is nothing you can do in the world. Moreover, often the higher the goal a person pursues, the faster his talents and wisdom will develop, and the greater his contribution to society. Therefore, in life, one should make a high wish and choose a high place. ”

"Well, that's kind of interesting." Li Changfeng nodded slightly and smiled, quite satisfied with Shi De's answer, "How can you explain it if you sit on an equal footing in the middle of the knot?" ”

Seeing that Li Changfeng finally recognized Shi De a little, Xia You's tense heart was finally realized.

"Sitting on an equal footing in the middle of the knot is to be down-to-earth, active and steady, not for meritorious work, solid merit, and not proud of merit. Not for the name of the famous, the name is not thick, not greedy for fame and fortune. Life is a wave of ups and downs, and after the highs, it is likely to be the troughs. Therefore, things often fail in a hurry, and think about the cause slowly. If everything is prepared, it will be established, and if it is not prepared, it will be wasted. Preparation is half the battle. "Shi De's confidence has increased a little more, and he talks eloquently, "The popular understanding is that ambition can be high, but when you really put it into action, you must be down-to-earth and start from little by little." ”

Li Changfeng's face was calm, and he asked again quietly: "How do you understand enjoying inferior blessings and walking towards a wide place?" ”

"Enjoying inferior blessings and walking broadly means that while aiming high and being down-to-earth, we must also be strict with ourselves in life and leave room for doing things. There is no contentment, and there is no reason for it; I don't know how to stop my desires, and I don't know what I want. Just as Zhuge Liang said, the truth - quiet to self-cultivation, thrift to cultivate virtue. There is no ambition without indifference, and there is no far-reaching ambition without tranquility. "Generally speaking, whether it is 'making a superior wish, forming a middle relationship, and enjoying inferior blessings', or 'standing on a high place, sitting on an equal footing, and walking in a wide place', the most critical ideological connotation is balance. Balance in contradictions, balance in advance. It contains not only the balance of personal psychology, but also the balance between inside and outside, up and down, left and right, and front and back. Balance can be coordinated, balanced can be harmonious, balanced can develop, and balance can progress. In fact, it is not only Confucianism that advocates the golden mean, but Buddhism also advocates the middle way, which is for the righteousness of the middle way. ”

"Oh, Xiao Shi also studied Confucianism and Buddhism?" Li Changfeng was finally slightly moved.

"I can't talk about research, I can only say that I admire Confucianism and Buddhism." Shi De is not for the sake of showing off knowledge, but to know a truth, sometimes do not show their best side, others will not look at you highly, and the fragrance of wine is also afraid of the alley is the same truth, life in the world, there is a low-key and calm calm, but also have the pride of daring to charge, "Ziwei Doushu's numerology has said: Ji Shen is too revealing the wind of competition, there is a lot of power, there is a blessing to enjoy, but I don't know the way to collect." The Book of Changes has a saying: If you don't do everything, you don't have to do it, you don't have to say it, you don't have to say it, you don't enjoy it, everything is in the end, and it means the longest. ”

"How should Buddhism be interpreted?" Li Changfeng was attracted by Shi De's words.

"The Buddhist scriptures I have read are limited, and I am afraid that there is a deviation in my understanding, so I will say it, and Aunt Li will listen to it." Shi De first said a few words modestly, and smiled indifferently, "Make a superior wish: the heart is to help the world, this is the fate of the great noble." Medium-tie: It is not appropriate to be too enthusiastic, too much will cause heat and sickness, and too cold will be dead wood and cold rocks. Enjoy inferior blessings: Buddhists pay attention to accumulating blessings and cherishing blessings, enduring hardships is suffering, and enjoying blessings is eliminating blessings. Choose a high place to stand, sit on a flat place, and walk to a wide place, which means to stand on the top of a high mountain and walk deep at the bottom of the sea. To be a man is to accumulate yin virtue, and the so-called goodness and human words are not true goodness. According to the principle of idealism of ten thousand laws, his heart should be flat, and if his heart is peaceful, the world will be equal. A truly superior person should be like air and rain, nourishing all things without fighting. ”

"Nourish all things without fighting...... Xiao Shi, your realm is really admirable. Li Changfeng glanced at Shi Degao, and then looked at Shi Deshi's eyes, and there was a little more warm and meaningful content, "The answer just now is very good, I agree with it." The answer you just gave not only has the ability to read a wide range of books, but also has the ability to draw inferences from one another, and it is also in line with the essence of the golden mean. However, I still want to discuss some simple and direct questions, I wonder if you are interested in and have time to talk to me again? ”

Shi De not only had interest and time, but also had enough motivation, he smiled slightly: "It is my honor to be able to chat with Mr. Li, not only can I learn a lot of knowledge, but I can also accept the influence of Mr. Li." ”

"Hehe, Xiao Shi, you don't need to say some polite words in front of me, I only value a person's true ability, and don't listen to his rhetoric." Li Changfeng went straight to the point, "Listen to his words and watch his deeds, and his actions are the truest embodiment of a person's character." ”

Li Changfeng has seen a lot of people of all kinds, and the last thing he likes to hear is beautiful words, he has long been immune to all kinds of flattery and all kinds of sycophants, so he recognizes a person, and only recognizes his true ability and specific actions.

Shi De saw that Li Changfeng was a pragmatic person, so he was no longer polite, and smiled: "Please ask Elder Li for advice." ”

"As the old saying goes, there are three kinds of unfilial piety, and no queen is the greatest, and what are the three kinds of unfilial piety?" Li Changfeng's expression was as indifferent as the wind, and he asked the first question.

If the previous exam was an extended question with no standard answers, then the current exam is the only question and answer question with the answer, fortunately, Shi Dewei thought about it and said the answer: "In Chinese etiquette, the so-called unfilial piety has three meanings: first, do not marry and have no children, and never worship ancestors." 2. Sycophancy and injustice. Third, the family is poor and the elderly, not for Lu Shi. The specific explanation is that not marrying a wife and having children, and having no offspring, is the greatest unfilial piety that Mencius said. Blindly obeying, seeing that their parents are at fault and not persuading, causing them to fall into injustice, this is the second type of unfilial piety. The family is poor, and the parents are old, but they do not go to the official to eat and support their parents, which is the third type of unfilial piety. ”

"What are the three urgency of people? What are the seven emotions and six desires? Li Changfeng was noncommittal about Shi De's answer just now, but he threw out a second question.

Xia Hua thought about it for a while, and found that she really didn't know what three urgency people had, so she couldn't help but glance at Shi De, what if Shi De couldn't answer?

Shi De smiled calmly: "People have three impatiences: anxious, impatient, and impatient. Seven emotions and six desires: Generally speaking, the seven emotions of Buddhism refer to - joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love and evil desires, and the seven emotions in Chinese medicine are - joy, anger, worry, sorrow, and fear. The six desires, the six desires of Buddhism are the six desires: lust, appearance, prestige, speech, taste, and human desire; Or refers to the six desires of the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind. ”

Xia Hua rarely admires others, and now she finally admires Shi De so much......
