"The unification of the world is the trend of the times! How do you feel about your home country, Song? Baekyu asked.

"Me?" Zhuangzi looked at Bai Gui and shook his head, not knowing how to answer.

"For the fate of the mother country of Song, and for the fate of the vassal states of the world, there is only one in the end, and that is to perish. Who will rule the world in the end is not yet predictable, and the variables are too great.

But! In any case, as a citizen of the Song Kingdom, I can't bear it to some extent. I don't want to see the people of the Song Kingdom obey the call of the Song monarch to fight and die in order to prevent the Song Kingdom from being destroyed. I don't want to see the people of the Song Kingdom fighting hard for the sake of their mother's country complex, to resist foreign enemies and die.

In fact! There are no foreign enemies! It's all people! They are all the people of Da Zhou. So! There is no need to fight and kill each other! Isn't it just to live? Why bother? ”

"You? Zhuangzi! You? You know, it's really different from us! Hearing Zhuangzi say this, Bai Gui felt it: Zhuangzi is Zhuangzi! He's not the same thing as us. He is a true Taoist, and he looks at problems and world affairs from the perspective of Taoism.

"You're a Taoist, you don't care! You don't care about the feelings of the princes. Bai Gyu laughed.

"I don't know?" Zhuangzi replied honestly: "I am just a Taoist, a propagator of Taoism, I am not a king, I cannot control my mother country, the Song Kingdom, I cannot control the Song Jun!" I only hope that there is no war, that our Song Kingdom does not need war, that we do not need to fight and sacrifice senselessly. ”

"I've heard that! You are also a descendant of the King of Song! Descendants of Song Daigong, you can also inherit the throne! ”

Zhuangzi smiled bitterly and said, "Where! I heard my master say that our lineage, since my great-grandfather's generation, has nothing to do with the royal family. Again! I don't want to be the king of the Song Kingdom! I want to preach! I want to spread Taoism all over the world, no! It's the whole world, it's all the people in the world! I? ……”

"You care not only about the people of the Song Kingdom, but also about the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty. But! All the people of the world, all of them! Bai Gui looked at Zhuangzi and sighed.

But? Who can stand on this level and look at the world? And who really did?

"I'll just do my best!" Zhuangzi lowered his head and said.

"Hmmm! Ambition is commendable! ”

When Zhuangzi heard this, his face couldn't help but blush, and he smiled bitterly again.

Seeing Zhuangzi showing his great love, Bai Gui was very touched.

Zhuangzi is still so young, he has such an understanding, it's not simple!

"As long as there is a dream! Persistence makes it happen! Baekyu encouraged.

Zhuangzi sighed! said, "I'll do my best!" Master has basically spread Taoism, and I just need to travel around the world to explain it. Nowadays, there are many people in the market who are consciously learning Taoism, and I just need to help you solve your doubts. Oh! I don't even need to travel around the world now, I just need to go to the country of Qi? I ......"

"Go to Qi Kingdom?" Baekyu asked.

"That's right! Go to Qi country! Zhuangzi became very excited and said, "Isn't there a Jixia School Palace in the Qi Kingdom?" I'm going to the Jixia Academy! I took a seat there and gave lectures. ”

"That's right! Right! Right! Bai Gui echoed.

Looking at the ambitious Zhuangzi, Bai Gui liked it more and more.

Suddenly! His heart rejoiced: he thought it was a very good thing.

"Do you have a marriage contract?" Bai Gui raised his eyes to look at Zhuangzi and asked, "You have already performed the coronation ceremony." ”

"Me?" Zhuangzi's face flushed.

"I have a little girl, the same age as you, am I interested in you? How is it? "Bai Gui is quick to talk and straightforward.

Oh, yes! Bai Xue has grown up and reached the age of marriage. But in today's society, there are more women and fewer men, and women are worried about getting married!

"Me?" Zhuangzi's face turned even redder.

"It doesn't matter! I'll tell your mother first, and if your mother agrees, I'll let you get married! ”

"Me?" Zhuangzi was anxious and said, "I promised my mother!" ”

"Hmmm! That's it! As long as your mother agrees, won't it be done? Isn't it? Baekyu laughed happily.

"Me?" Zhuangzi said anxiously: "I promised my mother, I want to marry Rong'er as his wife!" Rong'er is the granddaughter of Shi Gong Yu Huali. My father and mother are both orphans and raised by my father, and I also grew up with my father. Rong'er is the only descendant of Shigong, I ......"

"Hmmm! Very good! Good! Looking at Zhuangzi's anxious appearance, Bai Gui smiled: "You are a man with affection and righteousness, I believe you!" Which of the current excellent men doesn't have a few wives? Is there a main room and a side room? You promised your mother to marry Rong'er as a wife, okay? All right? Thanksgiving, okay? I'm not against it! ”

"But?" Zhuangzi blushed and said, "That? Who is the main house? ”

"Hahaha!" Bai Gui smiled: "Of course your Rong'er is the main house?" Your mother promised her, didn't she? ”

"That?"

Bai Gui smiled again: "What then? That's it! Oh! What I'm going to tell you is! My little girl is not a fool or a fool, she is ice and snow smart, she doesn't look like a shy flower, and she is not so ugly! Believe me! I fancy you Zhuangzi is a great talent! I want to marry the little girl to you! Hahaha......"

"This, this, this?" Zhuangzi was so anxious that he couldn't speak.

Bai Gui stood up, walked to the door, stretched out his head to look out of the door, and nodded to one of the guards outside the door. And then! Plug the door into the deadbolt and walk back.

Sitting opposite Zhuangzi, he lowered his voice and said, "I am also a Taoist disciple!" I'm telling you! But? I have my understanding! I am also a disciple who cherishes life and is reborn, and I cherish life very much! It's not that I'm afraid of death! I have mercy on the world, but I can't do anything!

I want to change everything by becoming an official and make a good life for the people of our country! Pity! I can't! The king will not listen to my ideas and suggestions!

So! I give up being an official! I don't want me to live alone and as a family! The world is not peaceful, no one has a good life, I want everyone in the world to live a good life, but I can't do anything! I? Alas! ”

Speaking of this, Baekyu's eyes moistened.

Listening to Bai Gui's senior talk about his past and opinions so frankly, Zhuangzi sat up straight and listened attentively.

"I have traveled among the princes and nations, engaged in trade, and lived a life of risking blood on the edge of a sword. Others say that businessmen are profit-seeking. The impression of businessmen in the eyes of the world is not good, ruthless, unrighteous and mercenary. But that's just the behavior of some businessmen, it doesn't mean all, at least I'm not Bai Gui! ”

Speaking of which, Bai Gui habitually picked up the tea bowl.

There was no tea in the bowl, and there was no hot water. It was now after dawn, and the two had not had tea since midnight. He glanced at the bowl and put it down again.

continued: "I have a set of business skills, and some people say that it is difficult for me to make a fortune, but I am not! I earn the money of the princes, and I give all the money I earn to the poor, except for the expenses that I keep for expenses. I can't save the country, I can only do my best and do everything I can......"

Zhuangzi stood up and respectfully bowed to Bai Gui.

"You must be skeptical? Why should I marry you a little girl? ”

Zhuangzi blinked his eyes and looked at Bai Gui in bewilderment, waiting for the next step.

"I used to have children! Sadly, they were all murdered to death! You know! Everyone in the world knows that I have money, so! Some wicked people have their eyes on me. And also! And the kings of all nations are concerned about my riches. Alas! There is no way! Then I learned to survive! I let all my surviving sons and daughters go incognito! I give them inexhaustible wealth, let them live in seclusion among the poor, and there is no way! ”

Zhuangzi nodded and said, "Old Bai senior! Stop it! I know! ”

Bai Gui's face swept away with sadness, and said, "You agreed?" Promise to marry my little girl? ”
