Chapter 36 Kong Ming Lantern
Mountains and rivers, the United States and Chinese painting, people in it, incarnate as a landscape, people are looking at the scenery, and they have become a landscape in the eyes of others.
In the early morning of Tianfu, the dew drops are still hanging on the large peony flowers, which looks cute and full of a special beauty, making people feel a kind of complete cool pleasure.
"What, you want me to be the chief examiner for the selection of concubines?" , Runzhi pretended to be surprised, "According to the practice of the Qing Dynasty, it is not appropriate for the prime minister to directly intervene in this kind of thing, when I was the governor of the two provinces before, someone asked me to do a similar thing, but I refused, and now I have become the prime minister, it is even more unsuitable to intervene in this matter, you can judge it at your discretion, if there is anything special, you can come here at any time to ask for advice"
When many officials heard this, they thought that there was no drama at first, but they never thought that Lord Tian would say that "if there is anything special, you can come to the house at any time to ask for advice."
The implication is that the final interview session of the beauty pageant can be arranged directly in Tianfu in a low-key manner, and the final ranking decision can be made.
In this way, everyone was happy all at once.
The night was vague, the lights were faint, and a Kong Ming lantern gently rose into the sky with the father and daughter letting go.
In the distant sky, countless stars glow with a faint light, illuminating the endless wilderness.
"Dad, I heard my mother say that after death, people will rise into the sky and become a star, and accompany their relatives in this way, and it will cycle back and forth for a long time, is it true?"
Kong Ling's eyes flashed with tears, and the tears stayed in his sockets and swirled.
"Yes, after death, people will turn into different stars and hang in the sky, for example, those saints like Confucius are the brightest ones, followed by the kind of people who use benevolence to behave in the world all their lives, but most of them are sometimes benevolent people, and sometimes they may be captives for evil thoughts and do not know it, such people are the majority, you see whether most of the stars are bright, those who are evil most of the time in their lives will not become stars after death"
"Dad, what kind of category do you think my mother should belong to?"
Kong Ling suddenly asked this question, and he was almost surprised when he arrived.
"Uh-uh-uh, your mother, probably belongs to the brightest kind", Kong Fan said, this may be right, because when Kong Fan was young, she had to tell her favorite person more than once that she was the best person in the world, whether it was external or internal, she was always the best kind in human history, so she easily won the heart of Kong Ling's mother.
"Dad, do you remember that Heroes Conference?"
Kong Ling and Kong Fan sat in the courtyard of Suchong Academy, quietly looking at the sky, chatting with each other from the bottom of their hearts.
"Of course, at that conference, I found out that your eyes were wrong!"
"Is there something wrong?"
"Do you already have a sweetheart?"
"Uh-uh, this····· I don't know about this."
"You really don't know?" , Kong Fan smiled and squinted, and smiled lightly, "How can you hide your dad from your heart, dad has already seen it, you like that kid Runzhi!" ”
"What, what Runzhi!"
"It's the Runzhi who shined in the audience again last time at our Heroes Conference, do you forget?"
"I just admired his talent, I liked to see him talk, and I felt that he was different from everyone else I had ever met, both inside and out, and he was like the brightest star in the sky, and people had to notice it and be attracted to it."
Kong Ling pretended to be an understatement and said, in fact, Kong Ling has been trying to hide the mysterious throbbing in his heart at this time, this throbbing is very magical, that is, he often tries to deliberately hide it in the language, the more he disguises, the easier it is to be easily seen.
"If I'm not mistaken, this is your best evaluation of a young man, before him, you have never made such a detailed and best evaluation of a man", Kong Fan paused, then continued with a smile, "It seems that you are completely in love with this kid from the inside out, what a cheap kid!" ”
"Even if I like him, but I don't know if people like me or not, if people don't like me, even if I like people, so what, it's just a pure crush, maybe it's not even a crush, maybe it's a good feeling at most, maybe I'm not destined for him, it's not necessarily, the world, because of fate, who must say who he must like, and he will be able to grow old with the person he likes?"
"As long as you want to, you must have a chance, as long as you are brave enough, you will definitely get what you want!" , Kong Fan was like a different person in an instant, this person was so different from the previous Kong Fan, it was impossible to believe that the person in front of him was Kong Fan, the dean of Suchong Academy, according to the normal reaction, his answer should be "the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, the three outlines and the five constants, the monarch and the ministers" and other words, but obviously Kong Fan's answer catered to Kong Ling's appetite.
In the face of strong fatherly love, in front of fatherly love like the peak of Everest, what three outlines and five constants, what "parents' orders, matchmakers' words", are so pale and powerless, in the face of real father's love, only think about their children, as long as their children are doing well, then why must the so-called rules in the world be rigidly followed?
"Really, really ·····,? Is that really the case? Kong Ling's eyes revealed a powerful light, this kind of eyes were soaked with infinite joy, in fact, Kong Ling had long thought that if Kong Fan did not agree, even if he eloped, he must be with Runzhi, but it is said that if a happy marriage can get the support of both parents, it will definitely be the icing on the cake, so if this marriage can be supported by his father, it will naturally be happy.
"Yes, men should marry women when they get married, you have grown up, and it is time to become the lady of others in their mouths, I hope you will remember the essence of our Confucianism, a person must learn to love everyone around him, always restrain himself, follow the etiquette, do what he does not want to do, don't let others do it!" As an important Confucian researcher, he has a mastery of Confucianism beyond ordinary people's imagination.
In the interval between Kong Fan and Kong Ling's speech, the Kong Ming lantern that was released had gradually risen into the air, rising little by little in the vast sky, and becoming smaller and smaller little by little, until it completely disappeared into the vast night sky.
