71. Three dates: Two dates
Li Keding said: "I also know that there are three young masters and three young ladies in your family: your eldest brother's name is Lu Xian, and your eldest sister's name seems to be Lu Ning; Your second brother Lu Bin, you also have a younger brother named Lu Xuan, who is still young. You're Miss Two, but you don't know what Miss Three's name is? ”
Lu Wan said: "My third sister's name is Lu Chen. ”
Li Keding muttered and said, "Lu Ning, Lu Wan, Lu Chen, I still like your name the most." ”
Lu Wan asked rhetorically, "What about your family?" How many siblings are there? ”
Li Keding said: "There are six in our generation, I am the oldest, my eldest sister is called Li Kejing, the second sister is called Li Keqi, the second brother is called Li Kexiu, the third brother is called Li Kezhi, and the fourth brother is called Li Keping. ”
Lu Wan nodded and said, "There are six brothers and sisters, but the names are easy to remember, and they will retreat Qi Zhiping, right." ”
Li Keding smiled and said: "Exactly, your brain is smart enough, you will remember it once you say it." ”
Lu Wan said angrily: "You always praise people, and you come when you open your mouth." Who doesn't know that 'after being determined, you can be quiet, righteous, self-cultivation, family, governance, and peace in the world'. Look at your name, you really cherish your family and country! ”
Li Keding explained: "It's just a name, you don't have to take it seriously. I can't even settle down, let alone govern the country and level the world. In the future, if I can cultivate my family, I am afraid it will be my extravagant wish. ”
Lu Wan smiled subtly and asked him, "Do you really think that after cultivating the Qi family, you will be able to govern the country?" I don't think so, but I think that the less people who govern the country, the better, and inaction is the greatest achievement. However, I am in favor of 'knowing and then deciding' and 'stopping at perfection'. ”
Li Keding asked her rhetorically: "It's hard to say if you do nothing, how can you do nothing?" ”
Lu Wan said: "Do nothing, just don't act randomly, don't give birth to regulations on a whim, don't find things for the people, it's best to only do things within the basic rules, and let the rest be natural, it's just nothing." ”
Li Keding listened to her reasoning, and asked her again: "What about 'stopping at the best'?" What is the best thing to do? ”
Lu Wan smiled and said, "You are obviously testing me, I won't say it, you can talk about it." ”
Li Keding said: "I think that perfection is just a direction, who can do it!" When it comes to 'goodness', it's very simple, 'Do not do to others what you would not do to yourself'. Everything starts from my heart, first of all, I don't do anything, and the inaction you said is also a truth. ”
"That's a good point." Lu Wan praised him, and then asked: "Do not do to others what you do not want to be done to yourself, can you do it?" ”
Li Keding sighed and said, "Where can I do it, it's a hundred and eight thousand miles away." ”
"Okay." Lu Wan said, "Then have you thought about what you will do in the future?" Do you want to go into politics, business, study or something else? ”
Li Keding said: "I have thought about it, but I still have no clue, I really have no decision, just like the water has no embankment, and the ship cannot find a harbor." ”
Lu Wan pretended to be mocking and said: "Look, this poor man has been riding a blind horse all the time. ”
Li Keding pretended to be pitiful and said: "Then you save me, for the sake of being a blind man, with God's mercy, give me a direction, and in the future, I will be the water in your embankment and the boat in the harbor, okay?" ”
Lu Wan glanced at Li Keding, and asked with a smile: "Wencai is not bad, just be the water in my embankment and the boat in the harbor, will you be willing?" ”
"Of course, I can't ask for it. Let you drive, and never complain for the rest of your life. Li Keding swore and said:
Lu Wan was secretly happy in her heart, but her mouth seemed to reproach: "You can't deceive me with such clever words, because I often say a lot of nice things like you to make my grandma happy." ”
After speaking, he looked at Li Keding proudly.
Li Keding got off the donkey down the slope: "Grandma Lu, are you treating me as a grandson?" ”
Lu Wan heard him call himself grandma, smiled and said very happily: "Good grandson, come here, grandma loves you." ”
I didn't want Li Keding to be thick-skinned enough, so I climbed up the pole, really approached, hung my head on her shoulder and said, "Grandma, you love me." ”
Lu Wan hurriedly fled in fright, a red glow flew on his face, and he whispered, "Ignore you." ”
While they were talking, the two of them had arrived at the door of the church. This Catholic church was built in the Xianfeng period, and was built by the French priest Lang Huairen, perseverance, and many ways. The church consists of a Catholic church, missionary housing and a school room. Over the decades, the number of believers has grown slowly, albeit slowly.
This church, like the Temple of Literature, educates sentient beings with the Great Dao. Since the day it was built, the light of God has begun to illuminate the dust of the city between the rivers.
It is said that the construction of this Catholic church was strongly supported by Puyun's grandfather, and Lu Wan's great-grandfather also made donations. As Mr. Puyun often quotes--- 'the avenues are parallel but not contradictory', the brilliance of Confucius and God can shine together on the same land and warm the hearts of the same people.
Entering the church, Li Keding suddenly felt a holy breath on his face, which was completely different from the feeling he felt when he went to the Temple of Literature. Going to the Temple of Literature, the warmth of the saint is like an ordinary old man, which makes him yearn for it, but he rarely has this sense of awe and mystery like a god on his head.
When they arrived at the study, there were more than a dozen people listening, all of them maintaining a pious face, and except for the lecturer, the rest of them remained solemnly silent. This lesson was about the resurrection of Jesus, and Li Keding did not calm down to listen to a word. Because he kept wondering why there were so many believers in God, and so religious. Confucianism teaches sincerity, but how many people can be so 'sincere' as a Christian believer? Everyone's reverence for the Divines is far less than their reverence for God, is it because Confucianism lacks this sense of mystery, so it lacks awe? It is impossible for Confucius, who does not say 'strange power and chaos', to be deified, he is more like a wise elder, guiding and inspiring generations of Chinese people, and Confucianism has always been an academic discipline, failing to form a well-organized religion.
The class was over, everyone left one after another, Lu Wan saw that Li Keding was still thinking nonsense, and said to him with a smile: "Let's go too, see that you are stupid." Only then did Li Keding hold back his thoughts, stand up, and walk out of the church with Lu Wan.
The two turned a corner, and as soon as they arrived on the street, they saw a few people in front of them coming out of a small courtyard, and the first person was Lu Xian. Lu Wan came out with Li Keding privately, and she was most worried about being known by her family, so she was afraid that her eldest brother would see it, so she quickly flashed it and hid aside. Li Keding, together with Lu Wan, also hid, and only used his eyes to sneak a glance at Lu Xian, hoping not to be discovered by him.
The strange thing is that Lu Xian was accompanied by a beautiful woman, wearing a yellow robe, with lotus steps moving lightly, white skin and red lips, and a spring breeze on her face. Lu Xian led the woman, very attentive, obviously a little ambiguous. Li Keding recognized it at a glance, this woman was Song Ningning, and he wondered in his heart, how could she get here with Lu Xian? Lu Wan was even more curious, and he didn't know who the woman was.
When Lu Xian and his party went out, the two were just about to follow quietly, when Li Keding noticed that a young man of medium stature was flashing out from the side, sneakily following behind Lu Xian and his party.
