"What do you want me to say?" Yuan Shu said expressionlessly.
"I didn't want you to say anything, but I just couldn't find anyone suitable to communicate with. I think you should be a more suitable listener." After Chen Xi finished speaking, he felt better.
"Do you want to listen to my feelings?" Yuan Shu touched his beard and looked at Chen Xi with the look of a wise elder and asked.
"Tell me and listen." Chen Xi nodded.
"In your own words, you bitch is hypocritical! Another thing is, have you stayed in the inner courtyard of your home for a long time, soaked in rouge and gouache for a long time, and developed the habit of being sad for spring and autumn?
If you have this time, go to work and work overtime every day for a week." Yuan Shu said with a sneer, and Chen Xi was stunned when he heard this.
"Let me tell you, the old men stay at home and play with their women all day long. After a long time, they become useless, especially when there is only one man in the family. But it's okay now. You haven't played with rouge and gouache yet.
If we continue, it’s time to play with rouge and gouache.” Yuan Shu crossed his arms and sneered.
"Do you still remember what we said about making fun of the old Liu family?" Yuan Shu crossed his legs, leaned back, and said with arrogance. What do the major families say about the royal family? They give you face, but they will still make fun of them when they should, but they are talking at home.
, no one cares about it at all, and no one cares about scolding my mother.
"What are you talking about?" Chen Xi asked in confusion, not understanding what Yuan Shu said.
"Born in a deep palace, raised in a woman's hands." Yuan Shu said with a sneer, "Men should go out and make a living. Staying at home and writing books is a kind of life, but that must have enough experience and thousands of volumes.
Books and thousands of miles of travel are all manifestations of wisdom. It is normal to stay at home and read books, but it will be useless if you just stay at home all the time."
"You have completed things that are even out of reach for others too smoothly. For you, you lack a sense of accomplishment. A journey without any setbacks and obstacles is equivalent to no experience. You are too smooth." Yuan Shu curled his lips disdainfully and said.
, "You are also too idle."
"..." Chen Xi was speechless. He felt that not going to Jia Xu and others was the right choice. If he told Jia Xu and Li You about his thoughts, he would probably be hit hard.
"What's more, think about those things that are and are not, and those things in the future. Hmm, the future is indeed very important to us, but the present is even more important to us." Yuan Shu crossed his arms and said with a sneer.
"I don't care at all what path Xian thought takes. He wants to found the country and I won't stop him from doing anything. As a member of the previous generation, all I have to do is hand over to the Yuan family what I received from the previous generation.
The successor chosen by this family." Yuan Shu said with pride.
When Chen Xi heard this, he was speechless. It is true that not just anyone can learn from Yuan Shu's free and easy style. At least Chen Xi would never be able to be as casual as Yuan Shu, even if Chen Xi often seemed to have a sense of letting things happen.
.
"I, Yuan Shu, at least succeeded in handing over the inheritance of my Yuan family to the next head of the family selected by the Yuan family. More importantly, the inheritance I handed over to Xiansi was better than what my father and my ancestors handed over to me.
It will be much stronger now." Yuan Shu said with unique pride.
"As for the future, whether the Yuan family's foundation has grown or collapsed, it is no longer my responsibility. If it grows, I will admire it. If it collapses, I may join it.
Falling, but my responsibility has passed." Yuan Shu responded with a mentality unique to the heads of aristocratic families regarding responsibility.
"I'm not the kind of fool who is obsessed with things. I know what I should do. For the Yuan family, I gave everything I had to give as the head of the family. After handing over the responsibility to the next generation, I should pursue my
The obsession is over." Yuan Shu looked at Chen Xi, his eyes burning with blazing flames. This was Yuan Shu's own belief.
"Then, if you know that the outcome is doomed, what should you do?" Chen Xi felt Yuan Shu's attitude towards the problem and asked, suppressing the embarrassment on his face.
"First of all, even if the cycle begins again and again, it is completely different. Shang Tang destroyed Xia and King Wu defeated Zhou. In terms of results, they are the destruction of the dynasty. If we follow the previous statement, it is indeed the cycle that begins again and again, but they are not different." Yuan Shu disdainfully said.
said.
"Secondly, even if the result is destined, we can't see the so-called destiny, so all we can experience is the process. Since we can't see the result, it is not easy to manage my generation well. In the future, that is
Other people’s affairs." Yuan Shu said with a sneer.
"If you still feel that you are still very confused, or doubt whether everything you do is meaningful, you can actually ask other people, don't ask the so-called civil servants, ask the common people, ask the aristocratic families, they will tell you
!" Yuan Shu said, patting his chest.
"Ask yourself, major aristocratic families wish you were born in their family, and even the Yuan family has this idea. Ask the people, the people wish they could continue to live like this, at least until they die, they can have as much food and clothing as they do now!" Yuan Shu
Looking at Chen Xi's incomparable sincerity.
"Perhaps for you, what you do has no sense of achievement at all, because it is too smooth and too ordinary. No one can stop you in the things you are good at. Even when facing you, they would like to abdicate and give way to others.
But, Chen Zichuan, please remember that what is extremely simple to you means that fifty million people in the Central Plains can live a better life!" After Yuan Shu stood up and flicked his sleeves, he said something rare for a person
Show respect.
"..." Chen Xi responded with silence. He was just confused, but thinking about the people behind him, he was actually quite bored.
"So, it's hard for me to understand why you are confused." Yuan Shu sneered and said, "The future? The history of spiraling upwards over and over again? Wake up, wait until we satisfy our greed, you can talk about confusion again, we
Everyone is still waiting for you to show off your might and support us in killing each other so that every wealthy family can build a country that can rival the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period!"
Yuan Shu's exaggerated use of hands and feet, as well as his acting that was almost like making faces, made Chen Xi laugh. Yes, most people in the Central Plains now hold the idea of growing and developing with his support, Chen Xi, and are eager for themselves.
The mother country is strong enough to support their millennium-old foundation.
It is not just the aristocratic families in the Central Plains who hold this idea, but all the people in the Central Plains.
As Yuan Shu said, even if it is to satisfy greed, everyone in the Central Plains probably hopes that Chen Xi will always maintain the same state as before, that kind of invincibility, that kind of state where everything is under control, only that kind of state
Only by being strong can everyone feel at ease.
"Even if the future is doomed that everything we are working hard will collapse, but so what, during the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, the Spring and Autumn and the Warring States, Qin and Han dynasties, there has never been a time when we have not cleared up the ruins and stood up again after the collapse, and compared with the original
, we are stronger every time." Yuan Shu looked at Chen Xi and said with the pride unique to a thousand-year-old family.
"My surname was from Xia and Shang to the Spring and Autumn Period, from princes to nobles, and then merged into the Han family system to become a wealthy family, but we have never fallen behind. It should even be said that even if it collapses, there will be some among us who will stand up.
Come out and clean up the world again." Seeing Chen Xi's thoughtful look, Yuan Shu immediately prepared to instill the theory of family unification into Chen Xi. This guy was simply hopeless in this regard.
At most, Chen Xi maintains due recognition of the existence of the aristocratic family because of issues of position and interests, and works tirelessly to improve it, while Yuan Shu recognizes the class he comes from purely because of the second-hand mentality.
There is no way to communicate at all.
Therefore, when Yuan Shu said this, Chen Xi decisively interrupted.
"Stop, let me put aside the theory of the superiority of aristocratic families for now. I admit that the major wealthy families have an absolute advantage in troubled times because they inherit the decisive classics that represent the culture of the Central Plains and have considerable strength," Chen Xi said angrily,
"But I don't agree with your theory."
"Okay, it's okay if you don't agree. Anyway, you are Chen Zichuan. Whatever you say is what it is, and I agree with what I said." Yuan Shu said very calmly, "Before returning, in my opinion, the things you are worried about are
It’s nothing at all!”
"..." Chen Xi was almost infected by Yuan Shu at this time, so he did not refute.
"The general trend of the world is that if it divides for a long time, it will unite and it will unite for a long time. Believe it or not, you can reunite after a while. Ask the eldest princess and see if she believes in the so-called eternity." Yuan Shu said disdainfully.
"As long as we do our generation's work well, future generations will be blessed by their own children and grandchildren." Yuan Shu said angrily, "Can you control three generations and five generations, and can you control ten generations and a hundred generations?"
"I'm afraid future generations won't be able to do what I did so easily. It's not just a matter of ability, but more of a matter of the times, Lord Shang knows." Chen Xi sighed and said.
"Nonsense." Yuan Shu looked at Chen Xi unhappily. The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system. If he didn't even know who Lord Shang was, he would be so ignorant.
"Whose method did he change?" Chen Xi looked at Yuan Shu and said.
"..." Yuan Shu understood, looked at Chen Xi deeply, and finally let out a long sigh, "You are right, you are indeed Doctor Wuxi, and those who come after you will have no chance, and the things you left behind are better than what Bailizi gave Qin
The legacy left by the country will have a greater impact."
"That's it. The one who fought against Shang Jun was not someone else, but the one before Shang Jun." Chen Xi nodded, "So I don't know what will happen to the newcomers, but I know that my current situation is basically to death.
Later reformers."
Yuan Shu was silent when he heard this. Even he had to admit that Chen Xi's current perfection had basically driven the latecomers to death. The golden rule no longer existed, and it was a reality that the Tao could change at any time. However, Chen Xi...
