Hearing that Zhuangzi was coming, Mrs. Sister-in-law and Zhang Shan greeted them.

"Master!"

"Master! Please! Mrs. Sister-in-law first bowed to Zhuangzi, and then! With a smile on his face, he made a "please".

"Who are these people?"

When the mayor saw his sister-in-law's appearance, he was very angry.

He had never seen an insider become like this. The former insider is a beautiful lady who is obedient. But since listening to Zhuangzi's preaching, he no longer has "rules". It's like "rejuvenation", childlike innocence, back to childhood, like a happy child, and sometimes very naughty.

After Zhang Shan followed Zhuangzi to the town office, he did not enter the town hall of the town office, but came directly to the backyard and met his sister-in-law.

When they came to the living room, the group sat down, and the sister-in-law ordered someone to make tea.

Mrs. Sister-in-law did not shy away and stayed with Zhuangzi.

Since listening to Zhuangzi's preaching, she has not shied away from it anymore. Zhou Li and other gods, she gradually began to abandon it.

Taoist! The pursuit of freedom, a leisurely life, the pursuit of self-nature! Etiquette and other gods and horses are all things that bind human nature.

"I haven't eaten breakfast yet!" Zhuangzi is also not polite, telling the truth.

"Oh! Oh! Mrs. Sister-in-law said twice in succession, and asked people to prepare breakfast first.

"Haven't you washed yet?" The mayor asked quietly.

Zhuangzi smiled at the town elder and his sister-in-law.

"Get people ready to wash up first!" The mayor shouted.

Mrs. Sister-in-law smiled and waved her hand at the next person.

"Mai'er prepared enough pancakes for me to eat for a few days, but I didn't sleep until dawn. Alas! It's rare to get a good night's sleep! This is not? Before he woke up, he was shouted by Zhang Shan! This is not? Zhuangzi explained.

"I've been preparing food for you for a few days, then? What about selling? Mrs. Sister-in-law asked puzzled.

"I'll let them go first!"

"Gone?"

Mrs. Sister-in-law, the mayor of the town, and Zhang Shan were all surprised.

"I'm going to leave tonight, too."

Zhuangzi spread his hands towards the crowd and said, "Am I not?" Prepare for a good night's sleep and come back to resign. This is not? Was called by Zhang Shan? ”

"Resigned?"

The three sisters-in-law were shocked again!

Although they knew that Zhuangzi was going to Qi State, he was leaving. But they don't know when Zhuangzi will leave, and he will leave in such a hurry?

"I'm going to resign from the post of town official, you know, I'm not suitable to be an official, my mission in life is to preach, and I don't need to say more!"

Hearing Zhuangzi say that he was going to resign, the town elder frowned, his face changed greatly, and he was anxious.

"You, you, you? You resigned, that and that? What about the lacquer garden? ”

"The current Qiyuan has reached a state of autonomy, where do you still need me as a town official? Isn't it? It's better to reduce the burden on the people of Qiyuan and reduce the financial burden on the Song Kingdom! ”

One less inactive official can reduce the financial burden on the country a little!

"This, this, this?"

The mayor of the town said anxiously: "As long as you are a town official, how much can you have in a year?" The people of Qiyuan still care about your little taxes? Isn't it? The Song Kingdom is so big! There are so many hereditary nobles and high-ranking officials, do you still care about your Zhuangzi's little money? Isn't it? Your little money is not enough for a day of hereditary nobles! Isn't it? In the king's court, as long as there is one less luxury, how many petty officials like you can be supported, right? ”

"I'm not an official, where can I get it?"

"The point is!" The mayor explained, "Where can there be no you here in the Lacquer Garden? People know that if you Zhuangzi resigns, maybe there will be chaos again! Isn't it? So! You must receive this portion, and you must take the position of town official. It's the same as before, you don't have to come to the town every day to sign in, I will ask someone to sign in for you, and you can sign 'tolerance is outside, and there is no time to return'. You said? Where can the lacquer garden be without you? ”

"I can't get it! I have to resign! As for continuing to hold the position of town official, can you not announce it after I resign? You let everyone not publish it. If it doesn't come out of the town, how can people outside know? Isn't it? ”

"This, this, this? Isn't it? The mayor spread his hands and said with some tears: "Didn't I say that? How much money can you have? Isn't it? The people of Qiyuan voluntarily come out! Isn't it? ”

Zhuangzi never thought that his resignation would not be able to pass the town chief. Looking at the pus-filled appearance of the town mayor, he smiled wryly and shook his head.

"My money is nothing to the people of Qiyuan, but for a person and a family, it is a lot of money! Isn't it? ”

Zhuangzi still patiently explained: "I can support at least ten or eight people and a big family, right?" Isn't it? And also! I am alone, how much Qiyuan people pay taxes, you know in your heart! Isn't it? ”

"This?" The mayor silently estimated it in his heart, and felt that it was the same thing. Zhuangzi's Yulu is nothing to the Song Kingdom, and it is nothing to the entire lacquer garden. But if one person, one family, is responsible for it, that's a lot of money.

Oh, yes! Although Zhuangzi's income is not much, it is the sum of the taxes paid by the people of Qiyuan in a year!

"And! I don't deal with the matter of the lacquer garden, and I still take the position of a town official, and I still receive the same salary. This can be concealed for a while, but it can't be concealed for a long time! Isn't it? If the state above is checked, can you afford this crime? ”

"This?" When the mayor heard this, he was so frightened that he collapsed on the spot.

Mrs. Sister-in-law looked at the pus-filled appearance of the town chief, and suddenly felt a sense of disgust!

Seriously! If it weren't for the drag of her family and her children, she really wanted to give up this pus. If it weren't for her learning Taoism and understanding the essence of Taoism, she would have given up this pustule and lived that ideal Taoist life, at ease, and let the world do whatever she wanted!

True Taoists are not blindly pursuing freedom and leisure, they are the same as the people around them, they are responsible.

Since we have a marriage and a family and become a mother, we should accept the facts, and we should assume the responsibilities and roles of a wife, a daughter-in-law, a junior, a mother, and a grandmother.

You can pursue freedom, leisure, but! You have to be on top of this character, not run away. Escaping, you can pursue the kind of freedom and freedom of Taoism, but you have influenced your husband, your elders, your children, and your descendants...... If that's the case, you don't really understand the idea of Taoism.

But! On this basis, you can also pursue Taoist freedom and leisure.

"Just do what Zhuangzi wants!" Mrs. Sister-in-law had to speak.

"You mean? Promise Zhuangzi to resign? You? ”

The mayor of the town thought to himself: Yesterday, I promised you to let Zhang Shan resign, and today you asked me to promise Zhuangzi to resign, can Zhuangzi compare with Zhang Shan?

"According to Zhuangzi's meaning, resign! But! Let's not spread it, so as not to affect the people of Qiyuan. Especially on the side of the forces of the Seven Wicked Ones, if they knew that Zhuangzi had resigned and left the Lacquer Garden, they might continue to do evil. So! On the surface, we still have to say that Zhuangzi 'tolerance is outside, and there is no time to return!' 'Or else?' As Zhuangzi said, if the upper state is checked, you won't be able to eat and walk around! You? This mayor of yours is the end of it......"
