Chapter 164: Mysterious Master
Liping looked at the voice suspiciously, oh, I see, it turned out to be the middle-aged strong man in his fifties in the "Golden Autumn Tour", that is, the middle-aged man who discussed with himself and Mengdu yesterday in the "Xiangwei Chinese Restaurant" "Chinese, please take a step forward", and this morning in the Louvre, the middle-aged man who resolved the quarrel between Mengdu and the Henan guy.
"Oh, Shifu, hello!"
Liping was both polite and grateful, and hurriedly greeted the middle-aged man warmly.
Liping knew in her heart: This morning, when Mengdu and the Henan boy fought fiercely in front of the portrait of the Mona Lisa, if this middle-aged man hadn't come forward in time, I really don't know what would have happened!
"Well, Miss Zhang, what about your lover, didn't he come up with you?"
The middle-aged man probably already knew about the dream of staying in the car to sleep, and said a word knowingly, and then came to Liping's side generously and said to her kindly:
"Miss Xiao Zhang, in the future, I will call you Xiao Zhang. Our surname is Ji, auspicious and wishful. In the future, you can call me Lao Ji. ”
"Oh, Master Ji, hello! In the past two days, my wife has not rested well, so he rested in the car in the afternoon. ”
Liping paid to Ji Shifu, who came to her, and seriously explained the situation of Mengdu.
"Oh——, he stayed in the car to rest? It's okay, if you feel tired, you should really take a good rest! ”
Master Ji nodded understandingly, and after a pause, he said in an inquiring tone:
"Xiao Zhang, I think you love someone, will you be a little more tempered? Young people must be humble and cautious when they go out! Let me suggest that you do more of his work in this regard. ”
"Yes, Master Ji, you're right!"
Liping nodded sincerely and said:
"My lover, maybe I'm too young, and I like to be impulsive when things happen. In the future, I will remind him often. Oh, Ji Shifu, there is a question, I want to ask you, I don't know if it is okay? ”
"Ho-ho, if there's any problem, just ask!"
Master Ji looked at Liping with a smile.
"This morning, I saw that when you grabbed my lover's wrist, he couldn't move, you, aren't you ——??"
Liping wanted to speak and stopped, but in the middle of her words, she suddenly stopped asking.
"Oh, you ask this? Well, I usually like to exercise, like lifting weights, boxing, doing push-ups, playing dumbbells or something, so I still have some strength in my body. ”
Master Ji replied to Liping with a casual smile.
"Master Ji, at the Louvre this morning, thanks to your timely appearance. Otherwise, I really don't know what will happen to my lover and that young man! ”
Liping expressed her sincere gratitude to Master Ji in person.
"Well, you're right. This person, when he was young, often did not have a correct understanding of life and society, let alone how to control himself. In the past, when I was young, I learned a few ways of boxing and kicking in a juvenile school, and I thought I was terrible, so I liked to cause trouble outside. I remember one time when I was fighting with someone, I knocked out the front teeth of two young students. As a result, I was also expelled from the school.
Later, an old monk told me:
As a human being, no matter who you are, you must take yourself seriously! Because, a person's life is not too long;
Be tolerant of others, because everyone will never see each other again in the next life! ”
After Master Ji briefly introduced his experience to Liping, he talked to Liping about a few words of understanding and perception of life by the way.
"Oh, Master Ji, it turns out that you are from Shaolin Temple? No wonder you have so much strength, and besides, I didn't expect you to be able to do martial arts! ”
Liping suddenly realized.
She deliberately looked at Master Ji twice, and respected him even more in her heart.
"Oh, I can't be counted as a member of the Shaolin Temple. When I was a child, I only went to the Shaolin Temple to become a monk for a few years, and then I returned to the world. As for martial arts, it's not to mention! At the end of the day, I only have a few simple sets of flying fists and legs, and at most I can defend myself. ”
Master Ji replied with a humble smile.
After finishing speaking, he paused for a moment, then turned the topic to Liping and Mengdu, and said tentatively:
"Xiao Zhang, according to my observation, you and Xiao Wang should be newlyweds, right? Find time, it is necessary for you to talk to Xiao Wang more, and teach him to learn to cultivate his own connotation and sentiment, not only to learn to be kind to himself, but also to learn to be kind to others.
Ideally, you should keep him in mind this idea:
When you are misunderstood, you can smile slightly, which is a kind of literacy;
When you are wronged, you can smile happily, which is a kind of generosity;
When you obviously suffer a loss, you can smile calmly, which is a kind of open-mindedness;
When you are helpless, you can smile contemplatively, which is a kind of realm;
When you are in danger, you can smile calmly, which is an atmosphere;
When you are scorned, you can smile calmly, which is a kind of confidence.
If, I mean if. If everyone can do the 'six laughs' above, Xiao Zhang, just imagine, in our society, how much less friction and strife will be reduced? ”
"Master Ji, what you said is so good! In the future, if you have time, can you tell my husband these things in person? ”
Liping listened to Master Ji's words and asked from the bottom of her heart.
"Oh, of course ! As long as Xiao Wang is willing to listen, I can discuss the truth of life with him.
Let me tell you, in fact, human life is very short. I don't know if you've watched "Dream of Red Mansions"? There is a famous saying in "Dream of Red Mansions" that sums up life very thoroughly, and that famous saying goes, 'Everyone says that the official name is good, who will meet since ancient times?' ’
What does this phrase mean?
It means that when many people are alive, they don't know what red dust is, and they don't have the ability to see through it; They just blindly and desperately pursue being an official and a hat.
In the end, he became an official, he was sealed, and he wore a black gauze hat, what happened in the end?
Those who finally became officials and ministers, in the end, did not enter the loess one by one, and disappeared one by one? Moreover, the vast majority of princes and generals, in the end, did not even have a name left in history. Right?
Let's take the Place de la Concorde, which we visited this morning,"
Speaking of this, Master Ji said that he stretched out his hand and pointed to the bottom of the Eiffel Tower, looked at the Place de la Concorde with the Egyptian obelisk standing tall and said:
"The Place de la Concorde is a monumental square built by the French Emperor Louis XIV in the 18th century in order to show off his ruling power. What about Louis XIV after the square was built? Not only is the former prestige gone, but, ironically, the Place de la Concorde, which he personally ordered, became the place where his son, Louis XVI, went to the guillotine! It is also the Concorde Square, and with the change of the stars, sooner or later there will be changes in the rights and wrongs of people! It's called 'the laws of nature, irresistible; Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, are no exception. ”
"Oh, Master Ji, after listening to what you just said, I think that your understanding of society and life is much deeper than that of us young people! On this trip, whenever I have the chance, I will definitely ask my husband to ask you for advice! ”
Liping withdrew her gaze from the obelisk of the Place de la Concorde, looked at Master Ji with sincere admiration, and said her thoughts reverently.
"Oh, Xiao Zhang, you are so polite! Don't dare to ask for advice, we can communicate with each other. Okay, now that it's not far from the time for the team to assemble, can we get down the tower? ”
While speaking, Master Ji stretched out his wrist to look at his watch, and then said to Liping inquiringly:
"It's 2:05 a.m., and there's still 25 minutes left before the team gathers. We can't let our lateness affect everyone's travel arrangements. ”
"Okay, Master Ji, let's go down now. When I have time, I must call my husband to ask you for advice! ”
After Liping finished speaking, she bent down slightly respectfully, stretched out her right hand to Master Ji, and made a gesture of "please".
"Okay, then let's go."
Master Ji also nodded politely to Liping, and then the two of them walked towards the elevator together.
