Tang Chen didn't know how to speak, so he said loudly: "Old Chen, I have a question and want to ask you for advice. ”

There is no accident at Old Chen, young man, it is inevitable that there will be something that he can't figure out. Tang Chenken asked him for advice to prove that he had not reached a dead end.

"Just ask, I don't dare to say that my experience is applicable to today's society, but I think it will inspire you. ”

With Chen Lao's words, Tang Chen's heart settled down a lot.

“...... That one...... Old Chen, what did you think when you earned your first pot of gold?" Tang Chen asked cautiously.

Old Chen was stunned, he really didn't expect Tang Chen to ask such a question.

But when you think about it, it seems to be a little enlightened. Judging from all kinds of signs, Tang Chen's family background can only be regarded as average, and he suddenly made millions of dollars, so he didn't know how to spend it. Tang Chen is quite sensible, and he is willing to spend money to create a "business card" for himself, so that he can better establish his popularity in the circle of feng shui in the future.

But when the poor get rich, there are only three outcomes. The first is to be sassy and show off, and I can't wait for everyone in the world to know that I am rich. This kind of person is the most happy and sad. It is not uncommon for the so-called blessings and misfortunes to lurk and misfortunes to be relied upon, and it is not uncommon for the poor to become rich and ruined.

The second type of person is extremely low-key, hiding his money tightly, and he is afraid that others will know that he has made a fortune. People like this are very vigilant, but also unkind, accustomed to seeing the hot and cold world, and know how to protect themselves. Although he can live a safe life, he doesn't have many confidants, and even the people around him and his children won't believe it.

And those like Tang Chen who are so confused and overwhelmed and have lost their forward momentum belong to the third type of people.

Chen Lao's life experience is extremely rich, in his life, he has seen more than 10 million people, he can also empathize with Tang Chen's mentality.

"Don, you sit down and have a cup of tea, and I'll slowly tell you my own story. As he spoke, after Chen Lao motioned for Tang Chen to sit down, his movements were slow, but he poured a cup of tea for Tang Chen and himself.

Tang Chen took this cup of tea, but it didn't taste good.

"Did you get something?"

Old Chen asked suddenly.

"Huh?"

Tang Chen thought about his thoughts, not understanding what Old Chen was referring to.

"Have another drink and see. Seeing that Tang Chen was absent-minded, Old Chen poured Tang Chen another cup of tea.

Tang Chen seemed to understand what Old Chen wanted to say, and seriously picked up the teacup and took a sip gently. Tang Chen didn't know this tea either, but he felt that the entrance was quite bitter. Frowning slightly, after drinking the tea, I tasted it carefully, and it seemed that I had a feeling of bitterness. "Old Chen, do you mean that drinking tea is like life, and it will be bitter and sweet?"

Chen Lao smiled and said, "Xiao Tang, your understanding is very good, but you are too preoccupied. Yes, as you said, this tea drinking is like life, it will be bitter and sweet. But after only drinking two cups of tea, how can you appreciate what true bitterness is?"

Tang Chen was stunned for a moment, and seemed to understand what Old Chen was referring to, but if he wanted to catch something, he just couldn't catch it.

"Old Chen, can you talk about it carefully?" Tang Chen asked seriously.

Chen Lao poured himself a cup of tea before he said slowly: "Life is like tea, it is a Taoist realm. Taoism condenses the hardships of a person's life into a pot of tea, so what you said just now is right, life will always be bitter. But those who know tea know that the first water, the second tea, and the third tea are the most essence, and the four are sweet and charming. Therefore, the confusion of the youth is described by the turbidity of the freshly brewed first tea, and the foam should be abandoned and the tea set should be rinsed, so that the tea soup in the later narrative can be crystal clear and charming.

Taoism compares the young and middle-aged period of life to the second tea, because the second tea began to drink, and the second tea contains the most theophylline and tea polyphenols, and at the same time there are more or less other miscellaneous flavors, so it tastes strong green and bitter, so the green and bitter taste of this second tea is used to describe the hard work of life when it is young and strong.

The third tea when tasting tea is the real embodiment of the charm of tea leaves, this tea soup is the most mellow, the sweetest, and the most charming, so it is most appropriate to use this tea to describe the harvest period after middle age.

When the tea leaves are brewed to the fourth tea soup, the tea is light and charming, which will make people reminisce about the charm and refreshment of the previous one. Therefore, the fourth tea is used to describe the light and flavorful life in old age, and because of this, the elderly often share with others the experience of hard work in the prime of life and the joy of harvesting results.

Life is like tea, it will not be bitter for a lifetime, but it will be bitter for a while. Xiao Tang, your problem is that you have omitted the first three steps and directly stepped into the realm of the fourth tea. You've lost the motivation to move forward, and you don't know how to face the people you used to, right?"

Tang Chen's eyes lit up: "That's right, Old Chen, that's what I want to say!"

Actually, this is also an eternal problem. The children of the poor family have come to the fore, although they are high-spirited. But when they face the world of flowers, few of them can hold their hearts. And people who were born with a golden key, because they have been commonplace since childhood, can stick to the same pace as always. Chen Lao seems to see through this society, his vision is deep and wise, "In the final analysis, it is nothing more than a possibility, that is, the cultivation of the state of mind cannot keep up with the position he is in." ”

"State of mind?"

Tang Chen was a little puzzled, "What is the state of mind?"

Chen Lao was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise, "Your grandfather didn't tell you this?"

"No ......" Tang Chen thought about it carefully, it seemed that his grandfather really hadn't told him any mood problems.

Chen Lao pondered carefully, and seemed to understand Master Linde's plan.

"I know, isn't your grandfather's information a little blocked?" Chen Lao speculated, "Although he knows that society has undergone great changes in the past 30 years, he wouldn't have thought that the feng shui master who used to be regarded as a cow, ghost, snake and god has been praised to a high place again, right? It is precisely because of this that he will not tell you about the state of mind. ”

After listening to Old Chen's speculation, Tang Chen nodded approvingly: "It seems to be like this......"

"That's it!" Chen Lao sighed and said, "Feng Shui masters should pay attention to the cultivation of the state of mind, if the strength is not worthy of the state of mind, they will fall into the crooked way." Historically, there have been many feng shui masters who forcibly deceived the heavens for their own selfish desires and sought good fortune for the wicked and were punished. If we as feng shui masters do not follow the ancient precepts of burying the blessed people in the blessed caves, disaster is close at hand. ”

Old Chen said, his eyes sparkling at Tang Chen.
