Chapter 2 Doing nothing is better than doing something

"It wasn't us who came first, someone else. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Guan Linglong said with a smile, she is the daughter of the Guan family in Qingxiao City, she is naturally beautiful, and she is beautiful in the face of sinking fish and geese. She smiled like a fairy in the Moon Palace, closed the moon and shy flowers, attracting many talented people.

"Feng Chan, I don't think he came early, but he didn't go back at all. ”

Chen Zifan's tone was slightly stiff, his demeanor was reluctant, he wanted to show his precious quality of being born into a wealthy family in front of Guan Linglong, but he studied hard and practiced hard. Unexpectedly, as soon as the words came out, he saw Feng Chan studying alone in the empty department, which invisibly stole his limelight.

The two walked into the classroom and saw the steamed buns and wild vegetables on the Feng Zen table, each showing a different expression.

Guan Linglong's pity and admiration, Chen Zifan's disgust and disdain, and the bowl of leftover wild vegetables were really a little disgusting. It was boiled poorly, the lard floated on the soup, and there was a little black pot ash, Chen Zifan almost didn't spit it out. His meals are clean, full of color and flavor, and even the leftovers that have been poured out are better than the bowl of leftovers, and they smell better.

Although Guan Linglong tried her best to hide it, she also looked a little uncomfortable between her eyebrows.

"Feng Zen, morning. Guan Linglong smiled and said hello.

"Yes. Feng Chanzheng watched with relish, didn't pay much attention to the two of them, and didn't raise his head and whispered.

Guan Linglong felt a little uncomfortable, but she didn't say anything, and walked to a seat in the front row by the window and sat down. Chen Zifan snorted lightly, muttered "pretend", and then sat next to Guan Linglong.

The desk is long enough for two people to read together.

But according to the rules, there is only one student at a desk.

Guan Linglong saw Chen Zifan sitting next to her, and said lightly with thin eyebrows: "Why are you sitting in my place, it's very hot to huddle together." ”

Chen Zifan saw that her tantrum was so cute, and said with a slight smile: "There is no class again, we can discuss knowledge together, and it will not be hot if we are separated by a little." ”

As he spoke, he moved his ass outward, two fists away from Guan Linglong.

Guan Linglong couldn't do anything about him, so she simply couldn't see it, and took out a copy of "Pipe" to read. The book "Guanzi" is written by the Legalist sage Guan Zhong, who is known as the pioneer of Legalism and the teacher of the saint.

Chen Zifan, like Feng Chan, took out a copy of the Tao Te Ching to read, and he looked at Guan Linglong puzzled: "Today, the emperor respects Taoism, the imperial examination must test Lao Tzu's knowledge, and there is a moon and autumn season, what do you think of Guan Zi's book?"

Guan Linglong's expression was indifferent, with a hint of disdain in his eyes, and said: "Lao Tzu advocates quiet and inaction, but he does not want to make progress, what is the use of reading his books? If it's just for the imperial examination, wasting time reading useless books, I'd rather not take the imperial examination. ”

Chen Zifan was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled: "What you said makes sense, then I won't read it." ”

Although the Bactrian Emperor admired Taoist scholarship, he did not oppose other scholarships, so the literary world was open. It is not uncommon for students of different morals to discuss with each other and belittle and praise each other.

Feng Chan also heard Guan Linglong's words, but he didn't expect that this daughter of the Guan family was still a girl with ambition and character. However, Guan Linglong was born in a noble family, and she has the capital to pursue "ideals", and Feng Chan has never been able to follow the trend.

Besides, Lao Tzu's quiet inaction is not as unbearable as Guan Linglong said. If Taoist scholarship is useless, how can the emperor respect it, how can the people admire it, and how can the Xia Kingdom enter a peaceful and prosperous era.

Obviously, Guan Linglong did not have an in-depth understanding of Taoist scholarship, and did not know who she had listened to.

"Doing nothing is better than doing, the Tao is nothing, and creating something out of nothing is to conform to the principles of heaven and the highest realm. Feng Chan was young and couldn't help but open his mouth to argue for the great Lao Tzu.

"I didn't understand what you said. Guan Linglong faintly felt that this sentence was very reasonable, but she did not delve into the Tao Te Ching, and it was difficult to understand just one sentence. She looked at Feng Chan with a puzzled look in her eyes.

Chen Zifan also looked at him, his eyes showing displeasure.

was disturbed by Feng Chan before, Chen Zifan was a little unhappy, and at this time, he was disturbed by good things, and he was even more unhappy. Anyone who is pursuing a beautiful woman will be bored when someone suddenly inserts him.

Feng Chan was just on a whim, wanting to argue for Lao Tzu, but when he saw Chen Zifan's warning eyes, he instantly calmed down. The Chen family has a lot of power in Qingxiao City, and Feng Chan can't afford to offend, and he doesn't dare to go against Chen Zifan.

After turning many thoughts, Feng Chan pretended to be confused and said: "I'm just studying, I'm sorry to disturb you, I'll be quiet." ”

When Chen Zifan saw that he knew each other, he smiled and said, "It's best not to read it out loud, and others should be quiet." ”

Feng Chan seemed to have nothing happening, and nodded kindly: "Don't worry, I won't read it." ”

――

Feng Chan didn't turn his head when he spoke before, but said while reading the book, so Guan Linglong wasn't sure if he was reading or arguing. shook his head and continued to watch "Tube", but Guan Linglong's words kept appearing in her mind.

Doing nothing is better than doing, the Tao is nothing, and there is something out of nothing.

It sounded reasonable, but she couldn't say what it did. wanted to ask Feng Chan again, but she was embarrassed, so she thought about it and simply put down the book and took out the Tao Te Ching to read.

"Didn't you say that Lao Tzu's book is useless, how can you read it again?" Chen Zifan was puzzled.

"That's what I said, but the tube can be seen at any time, and there is only one month left for the township test. Guan Linglong didn't say that she was attracted by Feng Chan's words, but casually found a reason.

Chen Zifan was confused by her inconsistent explanations, so he also switched back to the Tao Te Ching.

"I have read the Tao Te Ching five or six times, and I have almost thoroughly understood the meaning of the scriptures in it, if you don't understand anything, you can ask me. "Chen Zifan knows more about Taoist scholarship than Legalist academics.

Guan Linglong nodded absentmindedly, and had no intention of asking him for advice at all.

Chen Zifan was a little discouraged when he saw that she was only immersed in hard reading, neither speaking nor looking at herself. The beauty was beside him, how could Chen Zifan have the heart to read, and his mind was thinking about how to attract Guan Linglong's attention.

Guan Linglong looks attentive, it is difficult to find an opportunity, and it is not beautiful to interject stubbornly. Chen Zifan pretended to read a book while thinking about how to talk to Guan Linglong, and the afterglow inadvertently skimmed Feng Chan.

Feng Chan was also reading the Tao Te Ching, and Chen Zifan had an idea and thought of a strategy of "striking the east and attacking the west".

Chen Zifan looked at Feng Chan, and saw the bowl of leftovers on his table again, he felt a little disgusted, and immediately looked away and smiled: "Feng Chan, as the saying goes, there must be my teacher in a threesome, at this time we are just three people, it is better to discuss Taoist scholarship together." ”

Feng Chan was unhappy in his heart, if ordinary people disturbed him to read, he also had a temper.

It's just that Chen Zifan has a huge background, so he can't refuse directly, so he can only be hypocritical: "Chen Gongzi is extraordinary, erudite and talented, how can I be used to offer ugliness." ”

In terms of human sophistication, Feng Chan knows a little bit, and when he praised Chen Zifan, he said that he didn't want to participate. If you change a smart person, you can naturally hear what he said, but Chen Zifan thought that Feng Chan was really praising him, in fact, even if Chen Zifan heard it, he would not let Feng Chan go.

"Brother Feng is too modest, all the sons have their own strengths, and ten people have ten opinions when they read. We discuss with each other and take each other, and we will definitely be able to gain something. Chen Zifan was so happy that he even changed his title.

"No, Miss Guan still needs to read. Feng Chan didn't want to have anything to do with Chen Zifan, and saw that Guan Linglong was dedicated to studying, and wanted to use her as a shield.

"It's okay, I was just trying to talk. Guan Linglong put down the book and said with a smile.

――

The so-called academic discussion is more like Chen Zifan's solo show, and he is almost alone showing off. Chen Zifan thought that he had read the Tao Te Ching thoroughly and explained it in an orderly manner, but in fact, he was wrong in many places.

Guan Linglong didn't look at it much, she really thought that Chen Zifan had eaten it thoroughly, and asked him for advice from time to time. Chen Zifan wanted this effect, and he was overjoyed in his heart, and his explanation was even more exciting. Feng Chan didn't want to offend Chen Zifan, no matter whether he was wrong or right, he nodded his head and agreed, looking forward to this personal show passing soon.

"Feng Chan, what do you mean when you say that inaction is better than doing, and what do you mean by making something out of nothing?" Guan Linglong asked Chen Zifan a few questions, felt that the time was ripe, and asked Feng Chan for the previous sentence.

"Inaction is a state of mind, an attitude, a code of conduct, which is a bit cumbersome to say. Feng Chan said that many people think of wuwei as lying in bed and sleeping, doing nothing.

Of course not, Wu Wei can refer to having no desires in the heart, or it can refer to acting in accordance with the rules of nature, and it can also refer to being good as water, and being good at all things without fighting... If you really want to explain it, there are so many truths in this sentence that you can't finish it in three days and three nights.

Feng Chan didn't have time to explain so much to other people's women, so he wanted to perfunctory Guan Linglong.

"You say, I'll listen. Guan Linglong propped her chin and put on a listening look.

"It's better to let Chen Gongzi explain, Chen Gongzi is proficient in this way, and I just want to ask for advice. Feng Chan saw Chen Zifan's hint, so he threw the burden to him.

"Since Linglong wants to hear your explanation, it's better for you to explain. Chen Zifan looked at Feng Chan, and when he pretended to push, he secretly gave him a look and motioned him to push it back.

Everyone is a student of Bailu Academy, why should I waste my study time and cooperate with you to chase women. Thinking of Chen Zifan's threatening eyes before, Feng Chan was depressed in his heart, and he wanted to break his nose with a punch.

Feng Chan is not a fool, Chen Zifan is polite on the surface, but there is a trace of disdain in his eyes, how can he not see it. Especially when he occasionally skimmed the bowl of wild vegetable soup on the table, Chen Zifan tried his best to endure the disgusting expression, which deeply stimulated Feng Chan. Let's ask, for a person who looks down on him, who can be happy with him to play games patiently.

"I'm just a little learned, so let's explain it to Chen Gongzi. Feng Chan's expression became cold, and he secretly said that if you play again, Lao Tzu will not accompany you.

"Since Brother Feng is so polite, let me talk about it. Pushing back and forth, Chen Zifan did enough, and then said: "Doing nothing is better than doing, it is the golden mean, and not seeking no merit, but seeking no fault is the same thing......

Hearing Chen Zifan's explanation, Feng Chan was disdainful in his heart, and dared to say that he had read through the Tao Te Ching at this level. Even Guan Linglong, who glanced at it a few times in a hurry, felt that this explanation was a bit far-fetched, and her thin eyebrows were tightly locked.

Chen Zifan thought that Guan Linglong was thinking, not to mention how proud he was.

"Feng Chan, I still want to hear what you have to say. Unexpectedly, after listening to his explanation, Guan Linglong looked at Feng Chan again. This time it was Chen Zifan's turn to frown, and at this time, he could also see that something was wrong!
