Chapter 112: Idle Drinking

To put it simply, Confucianism can afford it, holds responsibilities, ambitions, and ideals in its hands, and is willing to devote his life to formulating effective rules for the world; Taoism can think openly, born and entered the world in the midst of doing nothing, the Tao is natural, and it obeys the heavens; Buddhism, pay attention to letting go, fame and fortune, wealth and loss, joys and sorrows, hatred and jealousy, sorrow and distress, everything in the world, all abandoned, and devoted to the Buddha. ”

Xu You sat on the futon, tasting the orange cake that Fang Xiuniang had just made, and the two Buddhist scripture stories told by Qiantang Lake Ya had already spread, Su Tang asked for advice with great interest, and asked about the difference between Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.

After listening to Xu You's in-depth explanation, Su Tang's expression was a little surprised, and said: "Listening to others talk about the similarities and differences between the three families, although quoting scriptures, thousands of sentences still can't be clearly understood. But Lang Jun just said a few words, but I seemed to touch the true meaning of the three families. Could it be that this is what is said in the "Records of Learning": 'can be a metaphor, and then can be a teacher'? Lang Jun can be a teacher of 100 people! ”

The Book of Rites is a systematic and comprehensive exposition of the purpose and role of education, as well as how to be a teacher. Many of these concepts are very similar to the teaching concepts of later generations, which shows that the wisdom of the ancients is not inferior to that of today's people.

"Confucius is only a teacher of 3,000 people, how dare I be a teacher of 100 people? The girl praised it falsely! ”

"Lang Jun is too modest, he can know the three classics, how can he not be a teacher of 100 people?"

Xu You sighed: "Understand? Easier said than done! Confucianism should not only be in the past, but also be famous after death, self-cultivation and Qi family rule the country and level the world, and then it will be passed down in history and admired by all generations; Taoists only care about the comfort and casualness of life, and don't mind what the days after death are like, it is good to become an immortal and gain the Tao, but it doesn't matter if you become ashes after death; As for Buddhism, Buddhism values the afterlife, not this life. The suffering of this life is the karmic retribution of the previous life, and the goodness of this life can accumulate blessings for the next life. So there is no anger, no joy, no sorrow. These three are all all-encompassing, vast as the sea of stars, you and I know, just scratching the surface, naturally not enough to be a teacher! ”

Su Tang fell into contemplation, over the years, Confucianism has declined, Taoism is flourishing, and Buddhism has risen to catch up, the three schools have influenced each other and integrated with each other, but the essential difference is not fundamentally changed because of who is big and who is small.

Confucianism, who is still the one who establishes morality, meritorious service, and speech, must die and be immortal; The Tao is still the Tao of the law, the earth, the heavens, and the nature, and it must be restored to the roots; The Buddha is still the Buddha who has a clear mind, insight, and enlightenment, and wants to benefit all sentient beings!

"I was wrong just now, Lang Jun said it slightly, and he saw the three families so thoroughly, it was enough to be a teacher for a thousand people!"

"The more you talk about it, the more boastful it becomes!" Xu You smiled and said: "This truth is the most obvious, you, you will put gold on my face." ”

"Gold on the face? Ha, the golden Buddha statue, is Lang Jun going to become a Buddha? Su Tang put his hands on his cheeks, and the loose and soft incense sleeves faded down, revealing his white and crystal jade wrists, and said, "I heard that the monk of Dade Temple wants to make you a monk?" ”

"Nothing!"

Xu You categorically denied it and said, "Zhu Shangzao talked to me about Buddhism for a few words, and seeing that I don't have a wisdom root, I won't mention it." ”

"Really?" Su Tang laughed, his eyes flashed with a faint light, and said, "Lang Jun seems to be very resistant to the Buddhist family?" Can't let go of fame and fortune in the world, or can't let go of a certain beauty with a blue heart? ”

Xu You picked up the teacup, shook it gently, smelled the fresh air coming from his nose, and said with a smile: "I want fame and fortune, and I want beauty!" ”

"What if you can't have both?"

Xu You took a sip of tea and said, "Give up the beauty and take fame and fortune!" ”

Su Tang sneered, his long eyelashes blinked slightly, and said, "Lang Jun is really different!" All men like to show affection in front of women, whether it is true or not, at least the face is very similar! It's good for you, from the beginning, that is, you love fame and fortune, not beauty. is so ruthless, no wonder even an outstanding lady like Yuan Qingqi is willing to withdraw from the marriage! ”

When the Yuan and Xu families got married, the world was a sensation, and when it was time to withdraw from the family, it took so long before the news reached Qiantang, and people who were powerless were nameless, and this world has always been very realistic.

Xu You's face was straight, and he said: "The girl of the Yuan family is a figure like a fairy in the sky, and marrying an ordinary man like me is already very wronged." The Xu family suddenly encountered a catastrophe, and the gap between the doors was even more heaven and earth. Divorce, it's not that I'm dissatisfied with Yuan Qingqi, but I can't do it, I don't dare to do it! ”

Seeing that he said it with unprecedented solemnity, he would rather belittle himself for nothing than let Yuan Qingqi's reputation be damaged, Su Tang only felt that something seemed to be touched in his heart, soft, and his mood was also gentle.

She said apologetically: "It's me who lost my words, Lang Jun is not strange!" ”

Xu You stood up, walked to the door, looked at the scenery in the courtyard, with a smile on his face, but he couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad, and said, "The past, don't mention it!" ”

Su Tang followed behind him, feeling the cold winter wind burrowing into his clothes, making his skin glow with fine particles, his eyes were always staring at Xu You's side face, and he said softly: "Lang Jun actually likes Miss Yuan very much, doesn't he?" ”

Xu You can't say whether she likes Yuan Qingqi or not, but in addition to her identity as a Yuan girl, she must also hide some kind of mysterious and complex background.

Beautiful girls arouse reverie, mysterious girls arouse curiosity, and beautiful and mysterious girls are destined to have a fatal attraction to ordinary men.

Fortunately, Xu You is not an ordinary person, although he is curious about Yuan Qingqi, he is enough to restrain himself, and he is beautiful and mysterious, in a sense, it indicates an incalculable danger.

If a gentleman doesn't stand under the dangerous wall, how can Xu You easily risk his life?

"Yingxin dazzles Yuan Qingqi, there should be no one in the world who doesn't like her!" Xu You turned around, his eyes turned on Su Tang's face, and said, "It's just you ......"

Su Tang was stunned for a moment and said, "What's wrong with me?" ”

"It's just that I didn't expect you to be interested in these vulgar children's affairs."

"Oh?" Su Tang said strangely: "Then what should I look like?" ”

"You......"

Xu You smiled and said nothing, just as a dead leaf blew off his shoulder, he flicked it in his hand and turned into dust all over the ground.

Su Tang became more and more eager by his appetite, and asked, "Say! ”

Xu You clapped his hands, clasped his arms with both hands, and said neatly: "Want to know?" Tell me first, is there anything good for dinner? ”

Su Tang was stunned for a while, and the jade hand held on to the door frame, and he couldn't hold back his coquettish smile. Until he smiled and bent over, he didn't even know that his hair was scattered, his soft waist showed his unconcealable curves under the wrap of the skirt, and his slightly raised buttocks revealed a charming posture that made people's appetite move.

Xu You looked away, coughed dryly twice, and said, "Is it so funny?" ”

Su Tang finally stood up straight, glanced at him angrily, and said, "Is Lang Jun used to use this method to cheat and cheat?" ”

"How can you deceive about the things of scholars?" Xu You shouted: "Xiuniang's cooking is delicious, and I don't like to eat rice, so I have to rely on wisdom to win the opportunity to eat in the Mirror Pavilion!" You have fallen into my trap, and you are willing to gamble and lose, and you are not allowed to regret it! ”

Su Tang couldn't stop laughing again, and said, "Okay, I have already instructed my sister to prepare dinner, you have been in the lonely mountain for many days, and you haven't eaten well when you think about it." Wait a minute, you're in for a treat! ”

Su Tang didn't lie, Fang Xiuniang's cooking skills were really good, and the dinner she cooked was rich and delicious, Xu You let go of his belly and ate Haisai, not treating himself as an outsider, and he didn't care about any manners. Su Tang ate a little with him, then put down the dishes and chopsticks, and watched Xu You gobble up with a smile, if someone else was like this, it might look vulgar, but Xu You's unabashed appreciation of food, coupled with a hearty smile, is really cute!

Time passed slowly, and when the sky was getting dark, the crowd around the gate of Jingyuan finally dispersed, Zuo Yan came to pick up Xu You, and Su Tang said goodbye and left. Slipped into the courtyard from the back door like a thief, He Wei, Shanzong, Autumn Equinox, Frost, Winter Solstice and others were waiting in the twilight, seeing Xu You, the autumn equinox instinctively wanted to rush over, but he hesitated when he took a step, looked at He Wei and them, and held back the thoughts and impulses in his heart.

The current Xiaolang is not the Xiaolang of Yixing, there are many people around him besides himself, they have more important things to say, and they can no longer be as willful and reckless as in the past.

"Congratulations to Shichiro on his return!"

He Wei was a little excited, he had been planning with Xu You for so long, and finally opened a door that could accommodate one person in the middle of the impossible, and said: "Lonely Mountain and his party, Qilang is talented in the world, and we also feel the same in Jingyuan!" ”

Xu You stepped forward and gently hugged He Wei. Only the two of them understand that the real impact of the Qiantang Lake Yaji, hidden under the surface scenery, will become a major turning point in the future, and how to go is no longer muddy, but has a definite direction and goal.

Shan Zong scratched his head and said in distress: "It's the group of wolf-like girls outside who can't stand it......"

Everyone laughed, Xu You patted him on the shoulder, and teased: "Recuperate and save taxes, and if there are girls gathering in front of the door again, I am ready for you to come forward to deal with it!" ”

"Huh?" Shan Zong was dumbfounded, and said: "Qilang, I can't do it, I'm too honest, if I am surrounded by that group of girls, there is no second possibility except for death!" ”

"Then the beauty dies under the skirt, and the ghost is also romantic!"

Xu You said as he walked to the autumn equinox with a smile, rubbed her hair bun casually, and said softly: "I'm back, don't worry!" Then he waved his hand and said, "Set up the wine, let's get drunk with Mingyue tonight!" ”

The idea is good, but God is a little slap in the face, there are no stars and no moon at night, and the five fingers are not visible in the dark. But it didn't affect everyone's mood, lit the white candle, everyone sat in the hall to drink and have fun, the frost and the piano who had not sung for a long time sang the song, and listened to Li Mu Wu Shan and other parts of the song like intoxicated, Xu You has always been restrained, the wine is not excessive, and he remains absolutely sober, but tonight is really the most comfortable time since leaving Yixing, a short indulgence for a while, quietly drunk, such as flying into the sky, fluttering like a fairy!
