Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Original Meaning of Zen

The dishes are already set on the table, and the dishes are all served in a set of quaint blue and white tableware, all of which are very light and refreshing home-cooked dishes. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Celery lily, lettuce with oyster sauce, baby cabbage in soup, a good harvest, and the only meat dish is just stewed corn pigeon, a plate of home-brewed soybean sauce from the north, next to two long green onions, and a new garlic that has not yet been peeled.

There were only two chairs in the room, one was sitting on the old man and the other was opposite him, looking at the tableware on the table, Mu Feng knew that it was for himself.

Mu Feng walked over and sat down on the only chair, calmly facing the old man's scrutinizing gaze, calm and calm, with a natural expression.

The old man stared at Mu Feng for a long time without speaking, the atmosphere suddenly seemed a little tense, Mu Feng was not affected, no matter what state he was, Mu Feng wanted to find the most comfortable position.

He leaned back, and the sandalwood chair only looked noble, and it was not very comfortable to sit on, but fortunately it was still wide.

Mu Feng looked at the old man, with a habitual lazy smile on the corner of his mouth, "Old man, your people have been waiting for me for a day, and it took such a big effort to invite me here, I think, you didn't look at me like this!" ”

Mu Feng's reaction was beyond the old man's expectations, the reason why he chose to meet him in Mingshi was to create invisible pressure on Mu Feng.

The old man is very confident, walking into this room, no matter what his identity is, he will be shocked by the layout here, coupled with the natural majesty he thinks is, few people can be calm in front of him.

Obviously, the expected effect was not achieved, and the old man's cold eyes softened, "My name is Zhao Yushan."

His voice was low, full of majesty and pride. It was as if he had only said his name, as if that were enough to say it all.

This name is not prominent in the provincial capital, and it is not even famous before Zhang Bai. However, in the upper class of the provincial capital, whether it is a dignitary or a business celebrity, whoever hears this name should respect him.

Mu Feng finally knew the old man's name, Zhao Yushan? He figured out that when he arrived in the provincial capital, among the people he came into contact with, the only one related to this surname was Zhao Lin.

The old man in front of him, he can clearly see some shadows of Zhao Lin between his eyebrows, judging from his age, this should not be Zhao Lin's father, but it can be confirmed that he must have a close blood relationship with Zhao Lin.

The corners of Mu Feng's mouth pursed into these lazy smiles, "Old man, your table is good, Xiaoye Rosewood, or the craftsmanship of the former Qing Dynasty famous craftsmen, it is more suitable to be placed in the museum, and it is definitely more luxurious than practical." ”

Zhao Yushan's eyes shot a strange light, and the chill in his eyes dissipated a little, Mu Feng could see at a glance that it was not difficult for Xiaoye Rosewood to be small, but it was necessary to see that the craftsmanship of the Qianqing Dynasty required some Taoism.

Mu Feng picked up the chopsticks, knocked on the blue and white bowl very impolitely, and said regretfully:

"Old man, use this to load vegetables, it will be even more tyrannical, this blue and white in the middle of the Kangxi period, although I don't know from the official kiln in Jingdezhen, but it is still a complete set of systems until now, it is not easy, but don't accidentally be broken, and people can't afford to pay you if they sell it!"

The chill in Zhao Yushan's eyes dissipated, replaced by praise and appreciation, looking at Mu Feng's age, Zhao Yushan felt that this was a bit unbelievable.

The antique industry requires a certain amount of talent, and it also needs time to precipitate, and it is difficult for those who have not been immersed in it for many years to know in detail.

Zhao Yushan said lightly: "The things outside the body, these objects may be antiques in other eyes, but in my eyes they are ordinary items, no matter how precious they are, but they were originally made for people to use." For the sake of thinking, the use value has been lost. The value and significance of their existence are lost. ”

The people who can walk into this wooden house, there are no more than ten people in the entire provincial capital, all of them can be said to have been through the rivers and lakes for a long time, and they can all see that these objects are good, but it is still the first one who can see the calendar at a glance like Mu Feng.

When it comes to Zhao Yushan's identity and status, with the wealth he has, the night pot used by Qianlong at night is enough to support it.

Mu Feng knew that he was doing this, saying this, just to tell himself that he was not bad for money.

What Mu Feng is short of is money, but he doesn't like others to be extravagant with him.

Mu Feng smiled: "Old man, this is judging the value from the perspective of use, you are indeed detached, just now I thought that you were always showing off, it seems that I am vulgar." It's just that such an object with a huge exchange value is used on a daily basis, which is neither economical nor practical from an economic point of view. ”

Mu Feng praised and depreciated, thinking about the old guy, aren't you proficient in economics, I'll see how you explain this to me.

Zhao Yushan's eyes narrowed slightly, he looked at Mu Feng with burning eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Things with use value are not necessarily valuable, this is the theory of economics, if this theory is true, then valuable things may not have use value either."

I don't collect these for exchange, they have lost their exchange value, and in my eyes, their attributes have only been left with use value. ”

Use value is an eternal category, and exchange value is a category of commodity economy. The existence of use value is not premised on the existence of value, as long as it can meet a certain need of people, it has use value.

Zhao Yushan easily explained this problem, he gave up the exchange, just to obtain the use value, and also solved the contradiction between the use value and the value of these antiques when they were used as daily necessities.

"Young man, I don't think I'm showing off, my financial resources can support my preferences, and when you're financially free, you can do whatever you want."

Zhao Yushan said very confidently: "Young man, in fact, there are not many ...... who can walk into my room."

Mu Feng smiled and interrupted him, "Old man, people say that forty is not confused, fifty knows the destiny of heaven, sixty is sixtieth, and seventy is not beyond the norm." Don't you think you're showing off to me when you speak to me like this, a young man? ”

Zhao Yushan's eyes began to change again, and there was an imperceptible flash of irritation, no one had been able to make him feel this way for many years.

Mu Feng, a young man, is indeed extraordinary, a person who walks into his own celebrity, no matter how prominent your status in society is, you must restrain me, and if you walk into this wooden house, no matter how noble your identity is, you must put away my frivolity.

Zhao Yushan suddenly felt that Mu Feng's words were not wrong, he seemed to regard these antiques worth thousands of gold as nothing, but in fact, the underlying consciousness of doing this was really to show off, but this kind of showing off was to make people respect and fear themselves more.

Zhao Yushan instantly adjusted his emotions, and laughed unprecedentedly, "Young man, thank you for reminding, in this matter, Zhao is really obsessed, and he forgot the essence of Zen, he really shouldn't ......"

Mu Feng also smiled, "The old gentleman can have such a deep understanding, I am also ashamed of it, the Buddha pities the sentient beings for doing futile stupid things, so I advise the sentient beings not to look at each other."

According to your reasoning, then I am actually also obsessed, these are daily necessities, and there is no objection to this. It seems that the things of the world can't be taken seriously, and if they are true, they will be painful, and they will be obsessed with not attaching to the appearance, which is itself the appearance. ”

Zhao Yushan was surprised by Mu Feng's profound knowledge, he had studied Zen Buddhism for many years, and he seemed to have it at his fingertips, and in a few words, his understanding of Zongyi was deeper than what he could see, and it was more thorough.

Zhao Yushan admired Mu Feng very much, he was very calm after he came in, and he communicated with himself freely, but he didn't ask why he invited him to come. "Young man, you don't seem to care who I am."

Of course, Mu Feng didn't care much about who he was, Zhao Yushan had seen him in the multi-purpose auditorium of J University, and had listened to his class for at least half an hour.

At that time, the distance was very far, he failed to associate Zhao Yushan and Zhao Lin together, and sat here, if he couldn't see the relationship anymore, it would be an insult to his IQ.

Mu Feng smiled: "I don't need to care, it's you who want to come to me, even if I don't ask, you will tell me." If my guess is correct, you came to me for Zhao Lin! ”

The corner of Zhao Yushan's eyes moved inadvertently, this is a very smart young man, he has a maturity and experience that does not match his age.

Zhao Yushan said: "Zhao Lin is my daughter, and I asked Gong Wei to arrange someone to pick you up." ”

Mu Feng didn't expect it, and said with a smile: "If you don't say it, I will treat you as her grandfather." ”

Zhao Yushan said: "It was arranged for Gong Wei to invite you, and with Gong Wei's personality, he should arrange Wang Yong and Liang Jun." If I'm not mistaken, they must have behaved recklessly, and I think you must have trained them for me. If you feel it's just an offense to you, I'm here to apologize to you......"

Zhao Yunshan knew that Gong Wei would arrange it like this, but he didn't remind him, he also wanted to make Mu Feng suffer a little.

But when Mu Feng walked in, he knew that this did not work, but caused the disgust of this young man, and Zhao Yushan even regretted it a little, he should not have put the meeting place in a celebrity, let alone talk to him in this wooden house.

Mu Feng said: "I understand, get off the horse, no matter how prominent your identity is, but you are a father, I understand you in your father's position." ”

Zhao Yushan sighed, a hint of warmth flashed in his eyes, "Our generation of the Zhao family is really rare, I know that there is only Zhao Lin in the year of destiny, and she is the only bloodline of our Zhao family."

Young man, you are a smart person, and you should understand that I will not give anyone a chance to hurt her. ”

Zhao Yushan has been dominant in his life, his only son is not prosperous, he has been divorced three times, and he did not get a daughter until he was past the age of heaven, and Zhao Lin was regarded by him as the pearl of his palm.

The life of an old husband and a young wife, Zhao Yushan didn't want to have it, and after Zhao Lin's mother gave birth to Zhao Lin, Zhao Yushan divided enough property to let her leave.

Zhao Lin was raised by Zhao Yushan alone, he was strict and indulgent to Zhao Lin, Zhao Lin's rebellious psychology was very heavy, and Zhao Yushan's stubbornness and arrogance were inherited in his character, wars often broke out between father and daughter, and Zhao Lin never compromised.

In order to ease the relationship between father and daughter, Zhao Lin in exchange for freedom of spirit and behavior, father and daughter often use promises and fulfillment to resolve conflicts.

Zhao Lin was very competitive, and she did what Zhao Yushan expected, so she went crazy and vengeated to indulge, and even degenerate, which was to show her own Lao Tzu......

"Old man, this dish is too listalist, is it for your age, fear of high-fat, high-nutrition things has reached the point of seeing snakes and scorpions."

The corners of Mu Feng's mouth turned up, a lazy smile climbed up, he picked up his chopsticks and stretched out to the stewed chestnut pigeon in the middle of the table, and the chopsticks clamped the only pigeon egg.

"This pigeon egg is good, such a high-protein thing, I think you should always have enough energy to spare."
