Chapter 896: It's Not Hard to Be Yourself

Zhuangzi did not do a good job of weaving straw sandals, and treated some customers very impolitely, and soon spread all over the country. し

But! It's not that they all say that Zhuangzi is unkind. There are also many people who help Zhuangzi speak, saying that Zhuangzi is very good with others. At the very least, he doesn't care about money. If you don't have money, he not only sells you shoes cheaply, but even! There is also the possibility of sending you a pair or two pairs of shoes.

And the people who speak ill of Zhuangzi are generally those who don't get along with ghosts.

So! These people say that Zhuangzi is not a good thing, and not many people believe it.

In any case, Zhuangzi's reputation is so good that everyone knows that he is the inheritor of Taoist doctrine. It was for a particular reason that he was the way he was.

Otherwise? Zhuangzi couldn't be called "Zhuangzi" as soon as he debuted? Isn't it?

Not everyone can be called a "son", and the title of "son" is not so good. What if it was so good that everyone in the world was still called so-and-so "son"?

The news of Zhuangzi's farming also spread quickly.

He not only planted the land behind the courtyard, but also cultivated a lot of land on the side of the Mo family's branch altar.

The land on the side of the Mo family's altar has been redivided by Song Juecheng and rewarded to the Zhuangzi family. Before! This piece of land belongs to the Mo family. After the defeat of the Mo family, there was no one to live in it, and it became a borderless land.

Zhuangzi, Dai Liu'er, and Rong'er are all disciples of the Mo family, so! It also makes sense to give this piece of land to their families.

Zhuangzi farmed the land, and those who like gossip in ten miles and eight towns talked about it. Everyone agreed: Zhuangzi did not run his straw shoe business well, and the business could not continue, so he started farming.

"Who does he think he is Zhuangzi? His name is Zhuang Zhou! Zhuang Zhou! You know? He also regarded him as the inheritor of Taoist doctrine? Isn't it? He couldn't preach, so he had to go back to his old job of weaving straw sandals. Outcome! He is not the hard-working material, and he is unwilling to do it after three days of weaving straw sandals. Outcome! What if he doesn't farm? Hungry to death? ”

"I tell you! I heard from the mayor! No matter what his family does, don't pay taxes! Alas! Zhuangzi is an unsuccessful fellow, if my family doesn't pay taxes, I promise! My family has become rich in a few years. ”

"That's it! It is! If there is such a large piece of land on the other side of the Mojia Branch, if it were me, I would definitely reclaim it and sublease it to others to plant, so that I could sit at home and collect rent and live. ”

"Don't say that the land is rented, just make straw sandals. The straw sandals and leather shoes he made up in Zhuangzi really don't talk about it! The craft is just there. If he is successful? If he manages this area well, he will be able to get rich in a few years......"

"You haven't heard yet? Zhuangzi is a slacker, so delicious and lazy! He knits straw sandals and leather shoes? He relied on begging for half and two to weave straw sandals and leather shoes for him. And also! He fed him by eating and selling, and it was by selling his children that he supported him. ”

"Oh? What's going on? ”

Some gossip people gathered around and asked what was going on.

"I've seen the embroidery for sale! That is the second one that we can't find in Mengxian County, that embroiderer, can be compared with the embroidery girl in the palace! ”

"That's it! It is! Before! After her embroidery was brought to the market, it was rushed to buy after a while, and the price was higher than others. ”

The person who spread the gossip news said: "I heard others say that the embroidery that sells the embroidery is specially embroidered for the ladies and concubines in the palace. Her embroidery was no longer sold, she became a free embroiderer, and the embroidery she embroidered was all wrapped up in the palace. I tell you, just embroidering a lotus flower is worth a hundred taels of silver. ”

"One hundred taels?"

"Ahh Oh my God! Just embroidering a lotus flower can be worth a hundred taels? ”

"We won't be able to embroider a hundred taels in a few years?"

"All the labor income of our family for a few years is not a hundred taels!"

"Woohoo! I don't want to live anymore! I can't live this day! Whining! Embroidering a lotus flower is worth a hundred taels of silver? ”

"So!" The person who spread the gossip news said: "Zhuangzi has such a good wife, what else does he have to work for? Forget the bastard days! ”

"That's right! Do you still grow a yarn in the field? It's enough to make a show! ”

"Blessings! How could he Zhuang Zhou have that blessing? ”

That's what you want!

Zhuangzi did not run the straw shoe business well, did not farm well, did not preach, and got by and lived a chaotic life, which was soon passed to the imperial palace in the capital of the Song Kingdom.

Song Quecheng learned that Zhuangzi had become like this now, and shook his head proudly and smiled.

That's what you want!

In this way, Uncle Zhuangzijun can I rest assured!

If you become a fool! Uncle Jun, I'm even more at ease!

"Good! The widow will give him silver. Well! This is my good nephew! Just be obedient! Just be obedient! ”

With a wave of his hand, Song Juecheng allocated a huge amount of money. Along with the huge amount of money, there are also silk threads and embroidered handkerchiefs for sellers.

That's what you want!

Everyone in the world thinks I'm a fool, that's the best!

Lao Tzu said: Great wisdom is foolish!

I, Zhuang Zhou, can live a peaceful life from now on.

It's no wonder that after Uncle Liezi became enlightened, he went home to serve his parents, take care of his wife and children, and let others treat him as a fool and laugh at him for his inability. This kind of life is your own life.

If you are a strong young student, you will inevitably have to go into military service. The result of military service is to die in battle for the throne of the king and the enjoyment of the king.

If you are a man who can earn money by craft, you will inevitably have to pay taxes to the king to feed those who do not work for nothing. Workers become the lowest level of society, and those who do not work for nothing are often above others.

Case! Why should I be the one at the bottom?

Silly, right?

He was the noblest person, but he became the lowest person.

is obviously a person who does not work hard, but he has become the most glorious person.

No matter what others say or evaluate me, I am still myself, and this is the highest cultivation, the cultivation in life.

I used to practice the Taoist Mind Method, but now I am practicing the Life Method. Taoist mind is theory, life is practice!

Practice makes sense!

He once preached to others and spread Taoist doctrines and theories. And now! It's about experiencing life.

Can we really do it when we are actually faced with real life?

Can we be truly ourselves again?

Can we not be swayed by other people's evaluations, contempt, etc.?

Can we find a way to survive in the evaluation, contempt, and so on of others?

After this period of practice, Zhuangzi found that as long as we reach the spiritual realm of dead pigs who are not afraid of boiling water, we will be invincible.

/ >No matter what you say about me, what you say about me, I am in the wind of my ears, I don't hear, I don't see!

When others saw that the king of the Song Kingdom had sent silver and silk thread to Zhuangzi's family, they felt that they had nothing to say.

Alas! That's fate!

People don't need to work hard to enjoy life and life!

And what about us?
