Chapter 178: Life Is But That
After more than an hour, everyone had eaten and drunk and began to stand up and move.
These more than 3,000 people are all proud of the sky, not people in the market, unlike ordinary people who either gamble for money or go to the Qinglou after the banquet.
These students are actually not interested in the things that ordinary people like, and the only one who can draw fists at the table has a fight, and after being invited by Chen Letian to participate in the banquet twenty years later, it has also died down.
The students were well fed and drunk, and witnessed a strange thing. It was under Qin Tieniu's calm and leisurely command that in less than a cup of tea, the servants instantly cleaned up all the cups, dishes, plates, dishes and chopsticks, and then put melon seeds, fruits, tea, and so on. Its lightning-fast speed made the students smack their tongues.
Then the students started chatting again.
Which of these students is not rich and rich, and talking about the past and the present, that is what they are best at.
Chen Letian held a cup of tea, stood at this table and listened for a while, and then paced to another table to listen for a while, and he would often interject a few words. Of course, Chen Letian, who has the insight of another world, can naturally often throw out refreshing words to make everyone admire him even more.
There are also many people who do not want to sit anymore and go to the courtyard for a walk. The house of more than 200 acres is enough for them to go around.
After chatting with them casually, Chen Letian also went for a walk. I drank a lot of wine, ate a lot of food, and my stomach was full, and I would be more comfortable to walk around.
Zhou Guoting, a poor student, and Tian Hao, a big fat man, and several other classmates walked with him.
A few people turned a cobblestone path and changed the scenery, and suddenly a pavilion and a small pond came into view. The water in the pond is crystal clear, and the red carp in the water can be clearly seen swimming in the water.
Chen Letian pointed to the carp in the pond and said, "Everyone, do you think this carp is beautiful?"
Everyone looked, ordinary, what was there to look at, but the host asked if it was good-looking, how could he say that it was not good-looking, so they all said against their will: "It looks good." ”
Chen Letian said: "Is it really good-looking? These are the carps you ate at noon today." ”
Everyone looked at each other, feeling that this joke was a little unfunny, Zhou Guoting said: "Brother Chen, today's carp is very delicious, but there are more than 300 carp per table, I'm afraid you have to eat all the fish in the pond in your house." ”
Chen Letian said: "No, there are more than a dozen large and small ponds in my house, at least tens of thousands of fish." If you want to eat fish in the future, come to me to fish or catch it yourself. I have an idea to grow my own vegetables here, raise my own fish, raise pigs and raise sheep... Wait, it's for our Qiushi Inn, what do you think of this method?"
When everyone heard this, they all nodded and said, "This is a good idea, and this can be used as a gimmick." ”
Chen Letian continued: "And I can make this a place for people to visit and play, and when everyone is fine, they all come to me to play and rest." You said, after having a good time, enjoying the beautiful scenery enough, after returning to Beijing, can you still eat at my Qiushi Inn?"
Everyone nodded and praised Chen Letian for his vision and ideas.
Chen Letian was quiet for a moment, and suddenly said, "But earning money is not the most important thing for me. What I want is to make more friends so that everyone can have a place to find a home. ”
The crowd was a little confused. Chen Letian looked at everyone's stunned expressions, smiled slightly, and pretended to be profound. In fact, what I think in my heart is, of course you don't understand, have you heard of utopia?
In fact, Chen Letian just turned the corner and saw this small pond, and when he saw this small pond, he had a flash of inspiration in his head, and he thought of it temporarily.
In a recent letter from the Unknown, he saw such a description.
It is said that in the world, there are many people who feel that life is very tiring. To be precise, it is because I can't find a confidant, and I always feel that I am out of place in this world, I always feel that I should not be born in this world, I feel that I was born in the wrong world, and I should be born in another world.
So, after the development of the times, there is such a place.
This place can be a mansion, where you can eat, drink, and have fun, and it is a place of isolation from the outside world.
Here, everyone is looking for people in the same way.
For example, suppose a person is born with three hands. These three hands live in a world where all hands are two-handed, very tiring and boring.
Then he can come to this place, this place where all the three hands of the whole world gather. You won't feel out of place when you come here, because it's all three-handed people.
And in the letter of the unknown land, in that other world. There are many such places, some are places where the three hands gather, and some may be places where the three eyes gather. Of course, the real three hands and three eyes are just one example. Meaning, in many ways, people who are out of step with the world. It is those who look like everyone else on the outside, but are very different on the inside.
It's the difference between the mind and the soul. It can be said to be a gathering place for people in the same way.
It's a bit like the disciples of Confucianism gather in Confucianism, the disciples of Taoism gather into Taoism, and the disciples of Zen Buddhism gather into Zen. But it is not as clear as Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.
These people come to this utopia, but they don't want to live in this utopia forever. They are just temporarily emptying themselves, and after the relaxation is over, they still have to go back to real life, disguise themselves and continue to live.
At that time, after Chen Letian read this letter, he had a lot of thoughts in his heart.
Turning to the world he was in, he felt that there was no difference.
In this world, who doesn't live with a mask? As an official, you have to look at Shangfeng's face and do things, and the difficult and troublesome things sent down by Shangfeng are countless constraints to solve, but they can't shirk it, and can only respectfully say to Shangfeng, don't worry, you will definitely do it.
Business. Obviously, this guest is very unpleasant, and he doesn't want to say a word to him at all, but for the sake of money and silver, he still has to greet him with a smile, and praise and coax the other party in a different way.
Even those high-ranking officials and princes, which one is not like this? Even the saints, in the face of the aggression of other countries, gritted their teeth with hatred, but they still had to have the prestige of a great country in their words, and they could only be the soldiers after they were politely courteous.
In this world, there are many people who are not comfortable living. Every day, when I open my eyes, I start acting for others. Acting for parents, acting for partners, acting for children, acting for Shangfeng, acting for subordinates, acting for passers-by, and even, acting for yourself.
This world is just a play.
In this world, that's all.
