After studying Guan Yun's resume and understanding Guan Yun's family, education, and political experience, Jin Quandao came to a conclusion based on his many years of seeing countless people. He has a tough mind, a tolerant character, and is good at planning. He can assess the situation and judge the situation.
Calm yet ruthless, if given the chance, he will become a great asset in the future.
To use an inappropriate metaphor, Guan Yun is comparable to Gu Qiushi, another official figure who also graduated from Beijing University.
After graduating from Beijing University, Gu Qiushi volunteered to work in politics in a remote place in the northwest, starting from basic office chores such as wiping tables, fetching water, and sweeping floors. When his classmates who graduated in the same period stayed in Beijing to work in major ministries or went abroad, he
Stay in a remote place for more than ten years.
Fourteen years later, when he returned to the capital, he was already a deputy ministerial official. At this time, he was only 34 years old!
Of course, it is not appropriate to compare Guan Yun to Gu Qiushi, but Guan Yun allowed Jin Quandao to associate him with Gu Qiushi's calmness and tenacity, which also shows that he indeed left a deep impression on Jin Quandao.
The more he studied Guan Yun's resume, the more alarmed Jin Quandao was. In fact, Guan Yun's resume was extremely simple. A thin piece of paper and a few sentences summarized his life history of more than 20 years. But Jin Quandao
He is not a person who does not know the truth. He can discover the magnificent turning points in a few short sentences. He can also summarize Guan Yun's way of doing things and officialdom from the deeds of Guan Yun collected from various channels.
wrist.
Quandao of the Later Jin Dynasty's personal evaluation of Guan Yun was in nine words - how big the heart is, how wide the world is.
It was precisely based on the above understanding of Guan Yun that he became more and more interested in Guan Yun. Although Guan Yun was born as a civilian, he was a deputy major at the age of 24. Even if he was promoted to a full major later that year,
He is just a first secretary of the Municipal Party Committee who has just joined the ranks, and there is still a huge gap between his standards for selecting a son-in-law. If it were normal, Guan Yun would not even be qualified to enter the Jin family, let alone meet him. But when his daughter proposed
When Guan Yun wanted to come to Jin's house to propose marriage, he only hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
Hearing is false and seeing is believing. He wants to see Guan Yun with his own eyes and test Guan Yun personally to see if Guan Yun is a talent that can be made. If possible, even if he cannot become the son-in-law of the Jin family, he will become the Jin family's son-in-law.
It is not a bad idea to be a direct descendant. I believe that even if Guan Yun cannot marry Jin Yijia, he will not refuse to accept the olive branch of the Jin family.
In fact, Jin Quandao's selfish intention when he agreed to Guan Yun's proposal of marriage was not to approve the marriage between Guan Yun and Jin Yijia, but to test Guan Yun's true learning and to make Guan Yun useful to the Jin family. Deep in his heart
, he had no hope that Guan Yun could catch his eye and become his son-in-law.
Looking around the world, there are almost no grassroots young people who can refuse the Jin family's intention to train them.
But after Guan Yun's argument with Li Yuhuan outside reached his ears, Jin Quandao couldn't help but be moved. It turned out that behind the love between Guan Yun and Xia Lai, there were so many unknown secrets. There was a hint of it in his heart.
He glanced at Xia Deshang angrily and dissatisfied. As an elder, agreeing or disagreeing is just a matter of words, so why bother with someone behind your back? You have a share!
When Jin Quandao heard about the love between Guan Yun and Jin Yijia, as well as the life-and-death friendship between the two, a crack finally flashed through his heart. It is not easy to have such a vigorous love now. His daughter's personality has grown since she was a child.
And to be strong, it turns out that when she really falls in love with someone, she does so without hesitation. As a parent, you should feel happy that your daughter has such feelings.
But feelings cannot represent politics. Although Jin Quandao understands the feelings between Guan Yun and Jin Yijia, he will not agree to marry a girl just because he understands. His principles will not waver. Guan Yun must meet the standards of a handsome young man in his eyes.
Qualified to propose marriage to the Jin family.
Proposal for marriage is only preliminary qualifications for dating Jin Yijia. There is still a long way to go before marrying Jin Yijia. Jin Quandao will sincerely make things difficult for Guan Yun. After the sword is sharpened, he just wants to see it.
Look, Guan Yun can remain somewhat calm and show some wisdom in the face of strong pressure.
It should be said that when Guan Yun first elaborated on Confucianism, Jin Quandao was very disdainful. It was just some large and empty knowledge in books, which was of no great use. Guan Yun was nothing more than that.
But then Guan Yun changed the topic and summed up the following sentence: Buddha is the heart, Tao is the bones, and Confucianism is the appearance. It was like thunder on the ground, which almost didn't make him get up. Fortunately, he suppressed the shock and ecstasy in his heart, but he didn't.
If he loses his composure in public, otherwise his authority will be lost in front of Guan Yun, and the following play will not be easy to sing.
When Guan Yun mentioned the ubiquitous and vital influence of the mysterious Taoist figures on Chinese history, he almost got angry again. He was so shocked and confused that he almost doubted whether the Guan Yun in front of him was some unknown person.
The younger brother of an invisible family, otherwise how could Guan Yun know the secret part of the truth in history?
However... years of practice still allowed him to remain calm enough in addition to showing surprises. It was just that for him, who had always liked Chinese studies and had been studying Buddhism for more than ten years, it was the first time for him to be with such a young but mature person.
He couldn't help but feel happy when he had such a profound conversation with a master of Chinese studies, and most of his prejudices against Guan Yun disappeared without even realizing it.
"Keep talking..." Jin Quandao finally couldn't help but said, "Your point of view is very interesting, so tell me, Buddha is the heart, Tao is the bones, and Confucianism is the appearance. When it comes to how to behave as a person, what should we do?
"
This sentence is obviously a question, but in fact it is a very broad and difficult-to-answer multiple-choice question in life. The main reason is that there is no standard answer. The standard answer lies in Jin Quandao's thoughts. If you say Jin Quandao's heart, you have passed the test.
, if you don’t satisfy him, all the previous efforts will be in vain.
Everyone's eyes fell on Guan Yun, and Guan Yun felt the pressure doubled.
Fortunately, Guan Yun has a character that gets stronger when he encounters the strong, and he also clearly felt the subtle changes in Jin Quandao's attitude towards him. Observing faces is a basic quality that a secretary must have. Moreover, Guan Yun is known for being able to see the subtle things.
After pondering for a while, he slowly replied: "Behave with the Confucian idea of self-cultivation, harmonize the family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world; use the Taoist idea of rectifying chaos, and retreat from the world after success; use the Buddhist idea of helping the world, and all laws are empty.
Thoughts come out of the world, thereby reaching the perfect state of life."
After saying that, Guan Yun slightly bent down: "I'm sorry, I'm doing this in front of a few elders. I'm just kidding, I'm kidding!"
If a person happens to be in a peaceful and prosperous age, and achieves a career with the idea of ruling the country and bringing peace to the world, and after becoming famous, quietly retires, is compassionate, does good deeds, and has perfect merits, then he will have a perfect life. Of course, he can achieve
There is no one who can reach the above realm. But life is a process of constant striving. Who doesn’t want to pursue perfection?
After Guan Yun finished speaking, needles could be heard in the room for a moment. Not only Jin Quandao had a thoughtful expression on his face, but Jin Quande and Jin Quanjing also lowered their heads in silence and fell into deep thought. Even Xia Dechang had a far-reaching gaze.
I was stunned for a moment.
Among the people around, Jin Yijia's eyes were blurred, and he seemed to understand Guan Yun's words. Qi Angyang looked at the ceiling, not knowing whether he was thinking about Guan Yun's words or thinking about other things. But Li Menghan nodded repeatedly behind the crowd,
I thought to myself, but I didn't realize that Guan Yun was indeed a bit of a true scholar. What he said was so profound that he gained three tastes of life.
"Sit!" After an unknown amount of time, Jin Quandao slowly said one word.
Just one word made Guan Yun relieved, and made Jin Yijia overjoyed. Being able to seat Guan Yun at the same table as Jin Quandao, Jin Quande, and Jin Quanjing was his father's initial approval of Guan Yun. In other words, Guan Yun's answer made Guan Yun sit down at the same table.
Dad is satisfied, the first level...passed!
"Ang Yang, sit down too." Jin Quandao pointed with his hand and invited Qi Ang Yang to take a seat.
However, he only told Guan Yun and Qi Angyang to sit down, but did not specify seats. Guan Yun knew that this was also a test question. In a family with strict rules, the seating arrangement is very particular, and there can be no mistakes.
Guan Yun hesitated slightly and sat down on the lower end of Xia Dechang. But Qi Angyang smiled and sat down on the lower end of Jin Quanjing - but it was the upper end of Xia Dechang.
As soon as the two sat down to judge, Jin Quandao's eyes fell on Qi Angyang's feet imperceptibly. When he first entered the door, Qi Angyang stepped on the threshold. Jin Quandao was picky, so he did not let Qi Angyang go out directly.
It’s already very impressive.
Of course, a complete meal is provided.
"Yijia, you also go and take a seat." Jin Quandao said again. Of course, when Jin Yijia took a seat, he did not sit at the same table as Guan Yun, but went to sit behind the screen.
After everyone sat down, Jin Quandao picked up the wine glass and said, "Six o'clock is auspicious!"
This is the first time Guan Yun has heard such a toast. The six o'clock auspiciousness is a Buddhist term, which means to wish all living beings good luck and good luck at all times throughout the day. It is auspicious and festive. Guan Yun and other elders picked up the wine glasses in turn and then drank the wine.
Pick up the wine glass.
On the contrary, Qi Angyang didn't care. He picked up the wine glass for the second time and laughed: "Uncle Jin's wise words, good luck, but I don't know what six o'clock means?"
Jin Quandao said nothing and looked at Guan Yun. Guan Yun understood and replied: "Buddhism divides a day and night into six periods, and six o'clock means all-weather."
"Brother Guan, let's do one." Before the others could drink, Qi Angyang did it first. After doing it, he chuckled and said, "I'll do it first out of respect."
Qi Ang's foreign-style boldness may be suitable in local official circles, but in the Jin family, which has strict family rules, it was obviously an overstep. Although Jin Quandao did not show any displeasure, he put down his wine glass and did not drink a drop of wine.
"Guan Yun, you just came from the courtyard. Did you find that Jinsheng Lishui looks like a garden?" Jin Quandao ignored Qi Angyang and asked Guan Yun again.
Another test? As soon as Guan Yun came in, he felt that he had seen the garden layout of the Jin family somewhere. When Jin Quandao asked, an idea flashed in his mind, and he blurted out: "Rongguo Mansion!" (To be continued) {Piaotian Literature www.
