Chapter 110: Vanity Fair
Believe it or not, anyway, for history, the will of the parties at the moment of the incident has almost no effect.
Ji Sunsu accepted this "prophecy" and gave Xiang Zhong a big gift beyond his age, which made Xiang Zhong feel very uneasy, and quickly returned the salute and retreated from his seat.
Seeing this scene, Ruyi stopped doing it, how could he feel that his grandfather was one of the most powerful people in Lu State, how could he lose his identity and make a big gift to such a young child here? So, he decided to come up with some more "moths" and make it difficult to be serious.
"Huhu, to the heavy prince is sharp, how can we not express it? You, aren't you here to ask the heavy son? Speak of your doubts and them. ”
Yang Hu has just "successfully applied for the job", and the "prospective employer" immediately came up with the question, and he really had to answer.
He had no choice but to give a salute out of the line, turned to the direction of the heavy seat, and asked Shi Li, who he originally thought was too young to ask questions: "Xiang Xiaogongzi is so smart, and my lord is pleased, and I have been blessed for many days, please forgive me for not knowing nonsense before I go down, and I thank you here!" Childe was born in a wealthy house, and he knows the etiquette, may I ask: The rich can have benevolence and righteousness? ”
Xiang Zhong Suzhi this Yang Hu, is the originator of the "for the rich and unkind", the reason why he asked, is to verify the correctness of his theory, and, for him, a down-and-out nobleman, although full of nostalgia for the respect of the nobles, but the reality is more willing to enjoy the wealth first, in his heart, the rich people in the world, the reason why they will be rich, that must be with the heart of "unkind", even if it is thousands of people, will always argue about this eternal proposition: in the end, "a gentleman loves money, take it in the right way." What about "Virtue and Virtue"? Or "the first pot of gold of all the great riches, with the genetic original sin of sin, with a drop of filthy blood." ”
Xiang rethought that in his essay on the "zipline box" in his essay in the Xinwu era, there was actually an answer to this question: "wealth" is a material need; "Benevolence and righteousness" is the need of the spirit; These two needs, in terms of his "safety, health, beauty, happiness, wealth, and Yao" six layers of needs, are the last two layers, and what Yang Hu can't understand now is only the relationship between the "fifth and sixth" layers in the middle.
Moreover, the relationship between these six layers is backward compatible, that is: benevolence and wealth; If we must clarify a relationship between the two, the concept of mathematics is that "benevolence" contains "wealth"; However, "wealth" and "benevolence" do not necessarily intersect.
Therefore, in this way, Yang Hu's firm belief in "being rich and not being benevolent" is also 50 percent correct, and it can be changed to "not being benevolent for being rich" and adding the word "must".
Xiang Chong smoothed the ash surface on the incense ash wooden box that did the sonic test with a chopstick, and then picked up the remaining lamb bone that he had just gnawed, and wrote the word "must" on the surface of the incense ash and pointed it to Yang Hu.
As soon as Yang Hu saw the word "must", he wondered in his heart: in the end, it was "must be rich or unkind"; "For the sake of being rich and not benevolent"; "To be rich must not be benevolent"; "You don't have to be benevolent for being rich"? Or is it "the rich must have righteousness"?
If it is the previous string of permutations and combinations, it is equivalent to the obsession in his heart "for the rich and unkind"; If it is the last one, then it is just the opposite, "benevolence" and "wealth" go hand in hand, and it seems that "benevolence" will be more weighty and heavier, which is the reason why "rich", or in other words, because there is "wealth" first, so that there is spare money and kindness, and "benevolence and righteousness" are generated.
Although this concept of "cause and effect" has not yet been known to Yang Hu with the introduction of Buddhist thought, in his heart, he has a vague feeling that no matter what happens in this world, there should always be a relative cause. He doesn't believe in things that come suddenly, including this little kid, who can have his own prediction function and know the world without learning.
Although he had doubts in his heart, he didn't want to appear in front of everyone that his IQ of an adult man would be lower than that of a three-year-old child, so he no longer asked, but pretended to be enlightened and worshipped, and said loudly: "See the little boy!" Teachable and teachable! Then retreat to Ruyi's side.
Ruyi didn't understand, in the end, this round, did he save face for Ji Sun's family, but just glanced at Yang Hu with an ignorant face, meaning: "What's the matter?" Finished? ”
Seeing that the little "Heavenly Master" had replied that three rounds had been completed, they all said that "there are no more than three things", and Ruyi wanted to do more tricks, but it was not suitable, so he had to give up.
The guests of honor have once again entered the correct process of "joy and never tired of each other", drumming and music, pushing cups and changing lamps, and staggering, the friendship between the two brothers of Song and Lu is consolidating and strengthening in a perfect set of etiquette.
In the face of such a bustle, Xiang Zhong was a little tired of watching it, and felt that these people were so fake, and they knew that they were each carrying a lot of inexplicable fancy intestines, but they still had to put on a fake expression and posture of "respect, modesty, shame" and so on in front of people, and those standard manners, in his opinion, were extremely cumbersome, even a little contrived, and extremely boring.
"I'm not going to play with you!" Xiang Zhong took the opportunity to go to the toilet and sneaked out of this headache "Vanity Fair".
"Alas, it's still a pleasure here!" Xiang Zhong released it happily, and sighed: Under this beautiful and heavy layer of Chinese clothes, they are not all the same simple and rough.
Moreover, the contrast between the inside and outside is too great: extremely complex and extremely simple.
This contrast is not only the clothing, but also the area around the latrine, and it is also full of fragrant osmanthus trees.
It is the season of the first osmanthus flowers, just now I still held my breath, survived the weight of the ten seconds, as soon as I came out to the osmanthus tree, I was attracted by the pale yellow osmanthus of the tree above, and I couldn't help but have a kiss with the sky——— take a deep breath!
The fragrance of these osmanthus trees is different from the apple club activity venue of the Xinwu era that he is familiar with, the apple grove, but the feeling is almost the same, they are full of pleasant sweet taste, and the brains of the friends, the fierce arguments and arguments are red-faced, but the emotions are high.
The height is not enough to reach the flower branches, but the fragrance, I can finally barely smell some, very elegant, it makes people want to pick a big branch down, get closer, smell enough.
Suddenly, a very strong fragrance of osmanthus came from the back of his head, and a large branch of blooming osmanthus appeared in front of Xiang Zhong's eyes.
"Do you like it?"
