The master eats slowly, after all, the master eats while drinking, and good wine has to be tasted and rabbit meat has to be tasted.

Everyone was curious about what kind of flask the master was in, it didn't look big, but it seemed as if it was full of wine, and according to their observations, the master had drunk at least a hundred sips, which should have been empty a long time ago.

After a long time, the master finally finished eating, and put away the flask. His eyes swept over the immature faces of his classmates, and he suddenly smiled: "You don't have to be so nervous, you don't always feel that everything is testing you, everyone relax, you have to learn from Chen Letian, you see that he doesn't worry about this at all, he should eat, I eat a leg, he will eat a leg, if he didn't bring wine, he would have drunk half a catty."

Chen Letian was suddenly startled and stood up and said, Master, the student is wronged, the student listens to the master, and the master says let's taste it, I'll taste it...

The master shook his head, and then said to the other students, "You see, even if he is criticized, he can immediately react and excuse himself, which is called mentality."

Chen Letian was even more frightened, and hurriedly bowed down and said, Master, the student is not convinced.

And the Master said, Behold, he is not convinced. All of you should learn like him, he is not nervous or afraid, so he can stand here today like everyone else and be a candidate for my last batch of disciples...

What else can Chen Letian say, the master has said this part, so he can only stop talking. No matter what he says now, as long as he speaks, it proves that the Master is right when he says that he is not afraid.

The classmates all laughed, sure enough, the master is the master, Chen often said that the teachers were speechless, and then the teachers would beat him, but objectively speaking, Chen won every conversation. But as soon as the master came out today, Chen Letian was completely silent, so the master is the master, and there is absolutely no one who can defeat the master in anything.

Seeing that Chen Letian stopped talking, the master nodded with satisfaction, and then said, Everyone, I will give you a debut question to think about.

The students were suddenly shocked, thinking about the question, it is another assessment, we must listen carefully and answer well, otherwise we may be dethroned.

The master said: "There is a person, let's call him Xiao Li, Xiao Li came to Dacheng from his hometown when he was eighteen years old and wanted to find a job. Xiao Li has been studying with the famous teacher in his hometown for many years, and ten years later, why is he still doing those jobs in the big city that have no level and no growth, why is this?"

What kind of problem is this?

Is this a problem, this is not a problem.

The master laughed and said, "Please listen now, Xiao Li is an eighteen-year-old man, he has no wife, no parents to support, he is alone in the world, all his efforts can be enjoyed by himself." He's full of money, he's got a lot of strategy, but why hasn't he accomplished anything?"

When Chen Letian heard this question, he felt that it was like those very strange riddles in an unknown letter, for example, why Xiao Wang's dog does not give birth to fleas, and the answer is that dogs can only give birth to dogs and cannot give birth to fleas. This can't be called a riddle of riddles, this kind of question Chen Letian generally just looks at it casually, and when it is a joke, he will not take it to heart. He even felt that the kind of stuff in the unknown letter was very meaningless and could not bring him any usefulness.

But today's question from the Master is a bit like the riddle in an unknown letter.

It doesn't sound logical, but it's up to you to explain why. But because there is no logic, the reason is hard to find. At this time, it is necessary to use the technique of sophistry, either to answer literally, or to answer it soundly but not in fact.

Xiao Li came to the big city with a full stomach and was not dragged down, but after ten years of mixing, he still did the work that he could do with or without reading, and there were at least three hundred possibilities for this kind of problem. But the Master asked this question definitely not to hear the students answer that there are 300 possibilities, and the Master only needs one, the kind that sees blood for a while.

So Chen Letian was very puzzled, of course the master would not just say a joke for fun, the master must have his deep meaning.

Chen Letian touched his chin from time to time to look at the other students, thinking to himself, Master must want to hear something from us. The question itself is not important, the key is to say what satisfies the Master.

Ah, yes. It's the equivalent of a discussion question.

Chen Lotian was so excited that he suddenly figured it out, and almost jumped up. Then he somehow looked at the master, and then the master happened to be looking at him again, and although he just made eye contact with the master and lowered his head to show his humility, the master nodded to him as if he understood something.

He seemed to see the Master's insight into what was in his heart, as if the Master had already understood it.

But so what, I figured it out with my own ability, and I didn't pretend to be a ghost to cheat, don't be afraid, I'm not false.

Chen Letian thought so and turned to look at the person next to him. Li Chengjun next to him looked up at the sky and was thinking. Chen Letian touched him and said, what does Brother Li think?

I don't have a clue, what about Brother Chen? Looking at Brother Chen's expression, he must be confident? Then why don't you answer Master, let's listen to it.

Chen Letian smiled, took a few steps forward, and said to the master: "Master, can the student answer?"

The Master nodded.

Chen Letian then said: "Back to the master's words." The master just asked, Xiao Li is full of economy and strategy, why did he go to the big city for ten years and still found nothing. Students think that there are two possibilities, one is the external reason, for example, Xiao Li is in a chaotic country, for example, Xiao Li is in Xiliang, not in the Great Song Dynasty, so although Xiao Li is full of economy, Xiao Li is hopeless, the upper class is controlled by all the nobles, and the people below can't go up no matter how capable they are, so Xiao Li has nothing for ten years, this is one of them. The second is Xiao Li's own reasons. If it is Xiao Li's own reason, it may be because Xiao Li is a dull person, obviously capable, but he can't speak.

Master, what the student wants to say is that neither of these two situations actually shows that Xiao Li is wrong because he is not successful.

In the eyes of students, no matter what the external environment is, if Xiao Li wants to climb up, if Xiao Li wants to do something for the people and the country, then the only thing Xiao Li can and should do is to change himself.

Only by changing oneself can one get to the position where one wants to go, and only then can one get to a position where one can do things for the people and the country.

Of course, what students must say is that changing themselves does not mean changing everything about themselves, for example, the original intention, the original intention can never be changed.

For example, when I was a child, I read school for the first time, and the teacher told me that a gentleman should do something and not do something. I wrote it down later, and I remembered that there are many things in life, but no matter what, I will uphold the things that a gentleman should abide by. That's the bottom line. Just like the copper plate we often use, it is round on the outside and square on the inside. The inside is sharp and angular, and the exterior is rounded.

The purpose of rounding the appearance is not to mellow itself, but to better achieve a path to the angular heart, not the goal, but the method.

Therefore, students think that Xiao Li's ten years of nothing are likely due to his stubbornness and unwillingness to change. The student finished. ”

With that, Chen Letian retreated into the crowd.

The master was noncommittal, and said, but there are still classmates who have thought about it?

The other students thought to themselves, what you Chen Letian said is not very good, it is all cliché. Everyone else could think of it, but they subconsciously felt that these things were definitely not something that would satisfy the Master. Nor will it be the right answer. They thought that Chen Letian's quick reaction would definitely be able to say something, but they didn't expect it to be just this old-fashioned thing, so they were all a little disappointed.

I don't know when it began, these classmates often regard Chen Letian and Li Chengjun as the leaders of their people, and when there is any difficult question, Chen Letian and Li Chengjun can answer it, and they will always think that this is normal...
