Chapter 76: Old Knowledge
When he arrived at the steps outside the door, Huang Yalin stopped and took the initiative to say: "Xiao Zhou, it's not easy for you to come here, just stay in the capital for a few more days, don't rush back." ”
Zhou Jingjing nodded, and asked again: "Secretary Huang, when are you going to leave?" ”
Huang Yalin smiled and said in a deep voice: "Ming'er still has a meeting, and then I will go to the ministry to run a project, if it goes well, I will return on Monday." ”
Zhou Jing frowned slightly, and hesitated: "Since there are still work matters, I still go with you, and I can also run along." ”
Huang Yalin smiled, stretched out his hand to pat him on the shoulder, and said kindly: "No need, it's just Huasheng to follow, besides, I can only do it myself when I go to the ministry to run the project, those directors, their eyes are high to the sky!" ”
Seeing this, Zhou Jing no longer insisted, turned his gaze to Tang Huasheng, made a gesture, and said in a low voice: "Tang Chu, something is coming!" ”
Tang Huasheng nodded with a smile, shook hands with him, and said softly: "Don't worry, have fun, let's go back to the provincial capital and see you again." ”
"Okay!" Zhou Jing smiled slightly, and together with Uncle He and Wei Xiaoyue, sent the two to the car, and the driver of the Chen Mansion drove them to the hotel.
Zhou Jing stood by the door, looking at his distant back, a look of confusion appeared on his face, and he lowered his voice and said: "Sister Wei, this old man is really strange, obviously he is very strong, and he is tougher than a young man, but he is on a crutch, which is completely unnecessary!" ”
Wei Xiaoyue smiled indifferently and whispered: "That cane is Uncle He's favorite object, and it is also the only self-defense weapon he brought with him after he retired from Guoan. ”
"Self-defense weapons?" Zhou Jing was stunned for a moment, then his expression became complicated, and he said in surprise: "Sister Wei, do you mean that there is a famous hall in that crutch?" ”
Wei Xiaoyue snorted and smiled: "Of course, it may be the most complex and powerful crutch in the country." ”
Zhou Jing was interested, and asked the bottom of the question: "Sister Wei, Uncle He used to work in national security?" Is it intelligence work? ”
Wei Xiaoyue's lips moved slightly, but she didn't speak, but glanced at him, frowned, and said, "Why are you so interested!" ”
Zhou Jing smiled and said happily: "Of course, the more secret things are, the easier it is to arouse people's curiosity." ”
Wei Xiaoyue smiled indifferently, led him back, pursed her lips and said, "Forget it, curiosity kills the cat, you have to close your mouth and take a step!" ”
Zhou Jing nodded, but he was even more interested, and said mysteriously: "What, haven't you decrypted it yet?" ”
Wei Xiaoyue hummed, stopped, and whispered: "Uncle He is very secretive about the past, and we never inquire. ”
Zhou Jingjing nodded, a look of regret appeared on his face, and said sideways: "Then how do you know that he came out of Guoan?" ”
Wei Xiaoyue sighed, took him to a wing room in the west, pushed open the hidden door, and said with a smile: "Of course the eldest lady said it, she knows some things about Uncle He before, it is really thrilling, at the beginning, Uncle He offended a lot of powerful enemies, if it wasn't for the old man's intercession, maybe people wouldn't be able to keep it, in order to repay the favor, after leaving the national security, he has been following the old man!" ”
Zhou Jing hummed, walked to the sofa and sat down, sighed, and said softly: "The last time I came, it was the room where I lived." ”
Wei Xiaoyue made tea, put it on the coffee table, sat next to him, pursed her lips and smiled: "I heard the second lady say, and you have also spoken the lines." ”
Zhou Jing smiled, took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, lit it, took a deep breath, and said softly: "What about her, why haven't you seen her?" ”
Wei Xiaoyue looked at the time and said with a smile: "I went out in the morning, it was a reunion with my classmates, I might have to come back later, the old man has been in a good mood recently, and he has not been strict with her, he is more casual than before, the second lady is by nature. Fun-loving and very lively. ”
Zhou Jing nodded with a smile and said in a low voice: "Sister Wei, just now inside, Elder Chen took three questions for me, and I feel that the answers are okay." ”
Wei Xiaoyue smiled at the corner of her mouth, and when she saw Zhou Jing's face showing color, she knew that he was playing well, and said curiously: "What's the problem?" ”
Zhou Jing told the truth, and said proudly: "Fortunately, I have seen the vegetable root Tan, and I can bite the vegetable root, and I can do everything." ”
Wei Xiaoyue smiled and said lightly: "The old man likes traditional culture very much, and often says that we must take Buddha as the heart, Tao as the bone, and Confucianism as the surface, look at the world generously, and look for roots and strength in traditional culture. ”
Zhou Jing listened to it, and was secretly surprised, feeling that Wei Xiaoyue was extraordinary, and she was more knowledgeable than before, but she said quietly: "It is not difficult for the Buddha to be the heart, it should be a bodhisattva's heart, talk about compassion, talk about compassion for the heavens and people, and what does it mean that the Tao is the bone?" ”
Wei Xiaoyue smiled slightly, walked to the window, picked up the watering can, watered the unnamed yellow flowers in front of the window, and said with a smile: "The Tao is the bone, this Tao is actually about the law, the rule, the way of nature, the way of heaven and earth, the way of life, the inner square and the outer circle, the combination of rigidity and softness." ”
Zhou Jing high-fived and admired, secretly feeling that Wei Xiaoyue's explanation was clever, and continued to ask: "What about Confucianism?" ”
Wei Xiaoyue put down the watering can, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "This Confucianism is a table, in fact, it is about the law of joining the WTO, advocating moral politics, etiquette and human governance, emphasizing moral influence, and it is also self-cultivation and governing the country and leveling the world, which is the highest belief and lofty ideal of scholars throughout the ages." ”
Zhou Jing smiled and nodded: "That's true, but the times have changed, and these things have gradually drifted away." ”
Wei Xiaoyue shook her head with a smile, and said softly: "Far from anywhere, the foundation of more than 2,000 years is there, sooner or later there will be a process of return, of course, it will not be a simple return, but a process of removing the chaff, absorbing and integrating, and being inclusive, in fact, throughout history, our culture has always survived and multiplied in this way." ”
Zhou Jing frowned and smoked, and after a long time, he said: "It's a good story, we have to go back to the source, only absorb foreign culture, but forget the soil where foreign culture lives, it is easy to have problems, for example, many foreigners believe in God, and with that social foundation, you can derive a lot of Tao and rules, and after the reform and opening up, the Chinese people don't believe in anything in the end, they believe in money, and there is a crisis of faith, once this crisis spreads, it will be very troublesome, this is a big hole, it should be plugged in time, and it is better to block it early than late." ”
Wei Xiaoyue nodded, chatted with him for a while, and said, "You have a tired journey, let's rest first, and I'll come back later." ”
Zhou Jing smiled slightly, said hello, sent her to the door, and asked, "Where is Brother Yimin?" ”
Wei Xiaoyue smiled and said softly: "With the eldest lady, what's the matter, there is something to find him?" ”
Zhou Jingjing nodded, gestured a few times, and said with a smile: "I want to learn a few kung fu from him." ”
Wei Xiaoyue pursed her lips and smiled, shook her head and said, "Then wait a little longer, in fact, you can also ask Uncle He for advice." ”
Zhou Jing smiled, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, if he uses that crutch, won't I be in trouble!" ”
"How can it be, Uncle He is a very good person!" Wei Xiaoyue pursed her lips and smiled, turned around and walked into the yard, and drove away.
Zhou Jing was alone under the eaves, teasing the starling for a while, so he pulled a chair, sat at the door, flipped through a romance novel, just read a dozen pages, and heard a burst of laughter like silver bells at the door, and then, a bright girl in a yellow dress appeared in the field of vision, but that person was the second miss of the Chen family, Chen Xuefei's sister Chen Xueyi, she was holding her mobile phone at the moment, as if she was talking to someone.
Zhou Jing put down the book and looked at each other with a smile, compared with the last time they met, Chen Xueyi became more and more beautiful, with a beautiful neck, snowy skin and flowers, so that she was not wearing powder, but her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, slim, quiet and dignified, vaguely, her style was better than that of Concubine Xue.
When Zhou Jing saw it, he was also amazed in his heart, and secretly compared the two sisters, he felt that Concubine Xue was better than cold and strong, while Xue Yi in front of her was much weaker, and the delicate and soft attitude of the girl next door on her body was also more likable.
After Chen Xueyi finished calling, he took a few steps forward and said with a smile: "Miss Xueyi, you're back!" ”
Chen Xueyi stopped, looked at Zhou Jing in disbelief, and after a while, she remembered it and said with a smile: "Ah, it's you, I remember, you are my sister's friend, but I forgot your name!" ”
Zhou Jing smiled and said softly, "Miss Xueyi, I am Zhou Jing." ”
Chen Xueyi smiled, with a shallow smile in the pear vortex, and said in a voice like a yellow warbler out of the valley: "Brother Zhou Jing, hello, my sister is abroad, and she will not come back in a few days!" ”
Zhou Jingjing nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, I heard what Sister Wei said, so I have to stay for a few days and meet her." ”
Chen Xueyi leaned against the door, played with her mobile phone, and chuckled: "That's pretty good, have you contacted Sister Shao?" Remember you know each other well. ”
Zhou Jing smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "Not yet, I plan to contact her again tomorrow." ”
Chen Xueyi nodded, and said with a smile: "That's good, it just happened to be discussed with her, Ming'er will go out for an outing, let's go together!" ”
Zhou Jing was stunned for a moment, and said curiously: "Where to go for an outing?" ”
Chen Xueyi smiled sweetly and said softly: "When you go to the Jingxi grassland, you can ride horses, hunt, and row!" ”
Zhou Jing smiled and nodded: "That's good, if it's convenient, let's go together." ”
Chen Xueyi smiled, revealing her snow-white and neat teeth, and chuckled: "It's convenient, in addition to a few classmates, it's Sister Shao, and her boyfriend, if Sister Wei is not busy, let her go with her, let's set up a tent over there at night and have a bonfire party." ”
Zhou Jing nodded with a smile and praised it: "Okay, Miss Xueyi, this idea is great!" ”
Chen Xueyi chuckled, stretched out her onion jade finger, pointed to the main room, and said with a smile: "Okay, you rest, I'm going to see grandpa." ”
"Okay." Zhou Jingjing nodded, watched her leave, hurriedly returned to the room, touched her mobile phone, and preemptively called Shao Yanran, the temper of the eldest lady of the Shao family was also very hot, if she knew that she had entered Beijing, but did not greet her, it was estimated that she would have to complain.
The phone beeped a few times, and it was quickly connected, and a burst of presumptuous laughter sounded in her ears, Shao Yanran seemed to be arguing with the people next to her, and after a while, she said lazily: "Zhou Jing, you busy man, how can you be free today, I remembered to contact Sister Shao!" ”
Zhou Jing smiled and said softly: "Sister Shao, I went to the capital to do business, and I want to take time to see you." ”
Shao Yanran was very happy when she heard this, and said with a smile: "Cheng, are you in Concubine Xue's house?" ”
Zhou Jing smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Yes, Concubine Xue is not at home, and she will not be able to come back in a few days." ”
Shao Yanran sighed and said coquettishly: "Yes, she has been busy with business matters, unlike me, she has been idle recently, and she has quit golf, and she is so bored that she panics every day, I really don't know what to do, you came just in time, accompany me more." ”
Zhou Jing smiled, shook his head and said, "Sister Shao, it's better to be exempt, I met Xue Yi just now, I heard that you are a famous flower!" ”
When Shao Yanran heard this, she smiled even more happily, her right hand waved exaggeratedly, and she nodded: "It's one, it's been less than a month, a reporter from a newspaper is very honest and easy to bully." ”
Zhou Jing smiled and hurriedly said: "Sister Shao, congratulations, after waiting for so many years, your true destiny has finally appeared." ”
Shao Yanran suddenly sighed, and said a little dejectedly: "That's not necessarily, I've only known each other for a long time, and I may not be able to do it, I just discussed it with Xue Yi, and I will go to the Jingxi Grassland to play tomorrow, and then I will introduce you to you." ”
Zhou Jing nodded with a smile, said hello, and said a few words of greeting before hanging up the phone, secretly pondering: "With Shao Yanran's fiery personality, who can get along with her for a long time, it's really a rare good temper." ”
