Chapter 24: Wisdom and Foolishness
(Ask for recommendation, ask for collection)
Back in Kou Mansion, Kou Shouxin really asked Guo Dan first, wanting to hear his thoughts, he was actually not very hopeful about this deal, he hoped more that Guo Dan could open his mind, which was very similar to Xu Mengxuan (yi, fourth tone), but it backfired, Guo Dan did not participate in the negotiations.
It can only be said that the will of heaven is like this, and Kou Shouxin can only accept his fate!
And Guo Dan's answer was also very negative, he didn't want to get involved in this deal, he even hoped that the Kou family wouldn't be able to take this deal, because he didn't want to have too much to do with Xu Mengxi, after all, the other party knew his details, and he didn't want to return to the kind of life in his previous life, he was very satisfied with the status quo, playing soy sauce or something.
After Guo Dan left, Kou Zhuansha asked Kou Yi, "How did you talk?" ”
Kou Yi sighed and said, "As the eldest lady expected, we have no advantage in the face of the Liu family. ”
He didn't elaborate, because the Kou family and the Liu family know each other well, needless to say, they know what the other party will say, it is nothing more than channels, resources, and connections, which are exactly what the Kou family is very lacking.
Kou Zhuansha sighed lightly and said, "This deal is really not timely, if it is a few years late, we will never give up so easily." If the Liu family is allowed to win this deal, then the losses caused to them by the previous Chen Lou incident will be nothing, and our Kou family wants to catch up, but I am afraid that it will be even more difficult. ”
The implication is to give up. She knows very well in her heart that she is very rational in terms of work, but in fact she is very unwilling.
Kou Shouxin smiled bitterly: "Daughter, I remember that my father taught you a long time ago that this business cannot be forced. ”
......
Early the next morning, Guo Dan went out, he only hoped to solve Xu Jirong's matter as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night, of course he was full of confidence in this, his former belief was that there was no commodity in the world that could not be sold.
But he didn't go to the Earl's Palace, but went directly to the West City Gate, and when he came to the outside of the West City, Xu Jirong's carriage had been waiting on the side of the road for a long time.
Getting into the carriage, the atmosphere is quite eerie.
Xu Jirong kept his eyes slanted and glared, but he didn't speak, and he was a big child.
"Little uncle, if you keep staring like this, be careful that your eyes will fall blind." Guo Dan smiled.
Blind? Xu Jirong hurriedly blinked, and said with a tense face: "What kind of ecstasy soup did you pour into my grandfather to make him believe in you like this, and... Still.... ”
Although he didn't continue, he just warned him fiercely, and even gave some kind of threat, otherwise, how could he come here to wait and let Guo Dan get into his carriage.
Although he was forced by Xing'anbo's obscenity and temporarily complied, if he didn't cooperate with me willingly and follow my advice, he was afraid that there would be twists and turns, and if he wanted to succeed, he had to settle this kid first. Guo Dan's heart sank slightly, and he already had a plan, spread his hands, and said with a wry smile: "Little uncle, just a nerd like me, where is there any ecstasy soup." ”
"Yes, too."
Xu Jirong nodded and said very directly: "Then why did my grandfather ask you to help me?" ”
You're welcome! Fortunately, Guo Dan didn't mind this title, and said, "Have you ever heard of waste and waste?" ”
Xu Jirong shook his head.
Yes! How does he know the truth of negative and positive. Guo Dan pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, it's mainly because Xing Anbo told me a story. ”
"What a story, you tell me to hear it." Xu Jirong crossed his legs and said with interest.
What a child. Guo Dan said: "This story is about a small village in the northwest, there are three peasant boys, all of them are very honest, to put it ugly, it is stupid, and in the next village there are three very smart people, both civil and military, everyone says that they will be able to enter the phase in the future." These three clever men often bullied the three peasant boys. Finally, one day, the three peasant boys couldn't take it anymore and decided to fight back, so they asked the three smart men to duel. What are the results? ”
Xu Jirong said: "Of course, the smart people won." ”
Idiot, if that's the case, then I'll still say a fart. Guo smiled lightly: "I thought it would be the same, but it turned out that those three peasant boys won." ”
"How is that possible?"
"That's what your grandfather said."
Xu Jirong immediately shut up.
Guo Dan continued: "Your grandfather said that this smart person is very proud ....... ”
When Xu Jirong heard this, he couldn't help but sigh gloomily: "No wonder grandpa always says I'm too proud." ”
“.......!”
Guo Dan can't cry or laugh, you idiot, you are not proud, you are stupid. Said: "This proud person likes others to listen to him, and stupid people are more willing to listen to other people's ideas, so when one-on-one, the three peasant boys are always bullied, but when three against three, the three peasant boys are very concerted, but the three smart people fight separately, because they are not willing to listen to others, so they are beaten to the head." ”
"You seem to have some point."
Xu Jirong's eyes were upward, thoughtful, and after a while, he suddenly asked, "Why did my grandfather tell you this story?" ”
Guo Dan said: "Xing'anbo's meaning is very simple, when we separate the two wastes in the capital, we will often be deceived, only when the two of us join forces, will we become strong." ”
Xu Jirong blinked, and suddenly said angrily: "You actually say that I am a waste like you, it is really unreasonable." ”
Guo Dan seemed to have expected it, and immediately said: "Don't hide it from the little uncle, that's what I told Xing'an Uncle at that time, how can I compare the little uncle with me, a nerd." ”
"Isn't it?" Xu Jirong said depressedly.
Guo Dan said: "But Xing'anbo is Xing'anbo, he is an old man full of wealth, well-informed, and understands many big truths. Have you ever heard the idiom 'great wisdom is foolish'? ”
"Where do you think you've heard of it?" Xu Jirong was not sure.
You've really read this book into the belly of a dog, worse than a science student like me.
But since Xu Jirong doesn't understand, Guo Dan must also pretend to be confused, otherwise it will be difficult for these two wastes to be equally famous, and there will be a sense of distance, so he said: "When Xing Anbo told me at that time, I didn't understand, and then Xing Anbo explained it to me, in fact, this is very easy to understand, Dazhi, that is, a person who is very smart and has great wisdom; If foolish, it is like a stupid person, which means that people who really have great wisdom look like stupid people, just like that story, those three smart people are thinking about every moment, who will give the command, who is the boss, each of them only cares about themselves, and does not care about others, while the three peasant boys know that they can only win if they are united, this is great wisdom and foolishness.
Xing Anbo said that the two of us are wise and foolish people, but we are weak and weak, so we are often bullied, but as long as the two of us join forces, we will definitely be invincible and invincible. ”
Xu Jirong said: "But I don't think you look like a smart person." ”
"Isn't this just being wise and stupid, if you look at me like a smart person, then I am actually a stupid person."
“......!”
Xu Jirong blinked and asked, "Then what do you look at me?" ”
"I look at the little uncle, that's pretty stupid." Guo Dan said seriously, but he was crying in his heart, it was not easy, but he could be regarded as saying this sentence in his heart.
"You're pretty accurate!" Xu Jirong laughed and said, "Since grandpa said it, there must be nothing wrong with it." ”
"That's, that's."
Guo Dan tried his best to hold back his smile, but it was really difficult to hold back, he quickly took out the folding fan and opened it, trying to cover it up.
"Idle eggs?"
Xu Jirong glanced at the fan and said curiously: "What do you mean by this?" ”
"Uh... It's... This is the name of a dish. ”
"The name of the dish?"
Xu Jirong asked, "How is the name of this dish so weird?" ”
"It's... It's a homophonic way to play. Guo Dan racked his brains and said: "This 'leisure' is salty, and it hurts to pass the 'tube' of the bamboo tube, the egg cone, that is to say, the egg cake is made into a cylinder, and it is a salty egg cone." ”
"I haven't eaten this dish before."
Xu Jirong blinked, suddenly remembered something, and also took out a fan from his waist, opened it, and said, "I have it too." ”
Guo Dan took a look, and saw that it was two crazy men and women who were painted under the folding fan to express their lovesickness under the moon, no, Guo Dan took a closer look, and suddenly took a breath of cold air, it turned out that it was not about love, but about the shameful thing under the moon.
This is actually a picture of the Spring Palace.
It's just that the painter is ingenious, very well hidden, if you don't get close, you really can't see it if you look closely, but once you see it, it's another painting.
This painting is truly exquisite! The well-informed Guo Dan couldn't help but secretly call himself wonderful, only to feel that this Ming Dynasty is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and someone has reached such a realm.
Xu Jirong looked at Guo Dan's appearance and said triumphantly: "Compared to your 'idle eggs', how is my fan?" ”
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
Guo Dan gave a thumbs up and said, "I really didn't expect the little uncle to have such a lofty taste, Guo Dan really admires it." ”
Xu Jirong laughed, and suddenly asked again: "What is tall?" ”
Guo Dan sighed, "It's high-end and high-grade." ”
"High-end atmosphere?" Xu Jirong's eyes flashed when he heard this, and his heart was full of joy: "What a tall one, it is really suitable to describe this little uncle." Ha ha...... ”
