I saw a pretty girl in homespun clothes coming up to me, smiling, and said: "Are you the two gentlemen who are the distinguished guests from Hong Kong Island from afar - the CEO of Daxiong Group and Mr. Wang Wei?"
When Wang Wei and Xiong Yuanju heard this, they couldn't help but froze, shocked and stunned.
"You know us?"
Wang Wei asked.
The girl shook her head slightly in a nice way, smiled again, and said, "Duan Gong asked me to wait here to welcome you two."
Xiong Yuanju was even more surprised and said: "Why, sir, do you know that we are coming from Xiang Island today?"
The girl said matter-of-factly: "Sir, he climbed up and looked into the distance last night. After watching for an hour, he came back and said that two nobles from Xiang Island are coming tomorrow at 9 o'clock. One is Mr. Xiong, the tycoon of the Xiong Kingdom, and the other is the former
The special forces, now the bodyguard Wang Wei. They don’t bring any entourage, you can just go to the Tianchi to greet them."
Wang Wei looked at Xiong Yuanju, and Xiong Yuanju looked at Wang Wei.
Damn!
Although the two of them said nothing in front of the girl, their strange and unexpected expressions were one of shock and confusion.
Wang Wei and Xiong Yuanju were led by the pretty girl to the courtyard surrounded by bamboo fences on the top of Xunshan Mountain. The courtyard was not big but looked very elegant, with several canopies of green bamboo, several oleanders in bloom, and two
One male and one female cycad are blooming. The male's flower is very long and huge, much like a corn cob, and the female's flower is like an open genital.
Cycad is the only creature on earth that has survived for tens of thousands of years. It grew up in the same era as the extinct dinosaurs. Dinosaurs only have fossils, but they are still showing tenacity with their lives. Its male flowers and female flowers
, which reminded Wang Wei, who was walking by, of that thing between men and women, and he had an impulse.
He took a peek at the girl. This feeling was not in harmony with the environment, and he felt incredible for a moment. He had seen this kind of cycad in Xiong Yuanju's mountaintop villa and the villa compound of the No. 1 leader, but here
It feels a little different when I see it. Maybe their blooming will help with sex.
Among the green bamboos, there is a unique house made of bluestone square tiles. The roof is made of mountain grass thatch. The mountain grass is not dead, but the roof is still green.
"What a great feng shui!"
Xiong Yuanju said to Wang Weidao, thinking that this man seemed to have unique ingenuity. After all, the Master of the Book of Changes was not an ordinary person. He had a bit of a fairy spirit.
"Is Mr. Duanmuyun still a professor at the provincial university?"
"Yes, sir, of course he is a professor." The girl smiled slightly.
At this time, a thin old man with white hair and a childlike face, wearing a homespun clothes and homespun slippers, was already standing at the door of the thatched cottage, looking at them.
"I'm sorry for not being able to welcome you from afar as your noble man arrived."
Wang Wei said: "Duan Gong, this is the president of Daxiong Group."
Xiong Yuanju hurriedly said: "Haha, today, regardless of their status in society, they are all ordinary people. Wouldn't it be nice to come to Duangong's elegant hall to talk about the Book of Changes and life?"
"Boss Xiong is really a courteous and virtuous corporal. He makes the thatched cottage of the people in the mountains shine. Please."
Although it is a thatched cottage, it is by no means a common people's house. This is very obvious to Wang Wei and Xiong Yuanju. With Duanmu Yun's polite courtesy, they walked in and saw that the furnishings were simple, elegant and noble.
It was indifferent, with the same texture of mahogany and wisteria, and the appearance was also very particular, all in the style of the Ming Dynasty. This made them secretly surprised.
Xiong Yuanju and Wang Wei watched in the house and couldn't help but let out a sound of admiration.
Wang Wei did not expect that he, who was a soldier and a policeman, had traveled all over the country for many years to come into contact with various people and things. He had opened his eyes and seen a lot of the world.
But I have never been to such a quiet and elegant place.
The famous calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall made Xiong Yuanju even more envious, "Brother, this is Mr. Yu Youren's wild grass. It is unconstrained and unconstrained. It is really the work of a great sage. Ah, there is also Kang Nanhai's thin bamboo here, which reaches the sky even though it is thin.
But he is always determined..."
Xiong Yuanju's heartfelt admiration made Wang Wei feel that his seemingly rough and fierce black and white background, but in his bones still revealed the temperament of a cultured man in this environment. Haha.
He didn't say anything, just smiled and looked at it.
Duanmu Yun stood aside, silent and indifferent. The girl placed the broken plum pot on the wisteria coffee table.
"Duan Gong, these calligraphy and paintings of yours can be said to be priceless... You, please forgive me for the common saying, are you not afraid of thieves coming to the mountains and fields in the dark moon and high winds?"
Duanmuyun smiled calmly and said: "I don't commit theft, and theft doesn't offend me. Besides, what's the big deal about losing? Losing is gain, and gain is loss. Calligraphy and painting are the best in the world. Who is not the best in the world?"
When Xiong Yuanju heard this, he laughed a little awkwardly and said, "Duan Gong is really a strange and masterful person."
"All strange and noble people are human beings. Human beings, with flesh and blood, are no different from all other things."
"It makes sense, it makes sense."
"Please sit down, please." Duanmu Yun invited Wang Wei and Xiong Yuanju, and he took the lead in sitting cross-legged on the futon on the left side of the coffee table. Those futons were made of corn stalks.
Wang Wei and Xiong Yuanju also followed his example and sat on the futon.
"Tea, please." Duanmu Yun smiled slightly and raised his hand gently to signal.
When they arrived here, encountering such etiquette, the messy things and killing activities that Xiong Yuanju and Wang Wei usually did in secular society were completely different. The three of them drank tea and talked.
"Brother, this is Kudingcha, which was just introduced from Hainan."
Xiong Yuanju looked at it carefully, took a few sips, and said, "Well, it's bitter but slightly sweet. I know this Kuding tea, but I've never tasted it. Today is the first time."
"Boss, I've been using this thing for three years."
"You introduced it from Hainan three years ago?"
"This Kudingcha is available in both Lishan and Shunshan, but no one knows it."
Xiong Yuanju sighed: "It seems...life is culture."
Duanmu Yun smiled again, not in a hurry, and slowly sipped the tea. After a while, seeing Xiong Yuanju and Wang Wei's eyes facing each other, he said no more, but went straight to the topic: "The boss came to see me today, what should I do?
Aren’t you here to discuss the Book of Changes with the old man?”
Xiong Yuanju was startled and replied: "Exactly, exactly. As a business person, I am confused all day long and am trapped in a maze every day and cannot extricate myself. However, I love the Book of Changes and want to see through all the phenomena in the world. Please ask for help."
I have learned the true meaning of life, but my knowledge is superficial, so I would like to ask you sir to give me some pointers without hesitation."
Duanmu Yun closed his eyes slightly and didn't speak for a long time.
Wang Wei looked at Xiong Yuanju, not knowing what to do or what he meant.
Xiong Yuanju didn't know what the old man meant. Later, Duanmu Yun finally said without expression, "Boss, you don't come to see me for the Book of Changes. You come to ask for fortune and safety."
, isn’t that what the old man said?”
ah?
Upon hearing this, Xiong Yuanju was a little embarrassed. Yes, that was exactly what he was thinking, but he left half of the sentence behind when he said it.
"Duan Gong, my boss is also an expert in the Book of Changes. You have somewhat misunderstood."
"Really?" Duanmu Yun suddenly burst out laughing. His smile was very special, a very typical smile.
Xiong Yuanju's well-maintained face was a little redder than before. He traveled around Hong Kong and around the world, doing all kinds of black and white business. After all, he was no stranger to the scenes. He said: "Duan Gong is right, I don't I'm not an expert on the I Ching, I just like it. In today's society, everyone talks about the I Ching and gossips, so I won't join in the fun. Haha."
Duanmuyun said: "The boss is still sincere. I admire him very much."
"Duan Gong, I still don't understand what the Bagua... in the Yi Jing means?"
Duanmu Yun dipped his fingers in tea, drew on the coffee table and said: "Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, Dui, these are the eight characters. They encompass everything in the universe. There are eight more characters. A basic figure, composed of '——' and '一一'. '——' is yang and '一一' is yin. They also symbolize the eight natural phenomena of heaven, earth, thunder, wind, water, volcanoes and swamps. In the Bagua, The two hexagrams of Qian and Kun occupy the most important position, and the two symbols of Yin and Yang are the most basic elements. So, what do the '——' and '一一' symbolize? There are countless explanations for this throughout the ages. "Yi? System" "Ci Xia" says that in ancient times, the Bao Qi family, the king of the world, looked up to observe the images in the sky, looked down to observe the laws on the earth, observed the patterns of birds and beasts and the suitability of the earth, and took objects near and objects far away, so Start doing gossip..."
Wang Wei saw that Xiong Yuanju suddenly looked a little depressed, but he didn't know why, so he had to say: "Duan Gong, you are a master. I don't understand at all the inscrutable knowledge you are talking about. I'm really a little disrespectful." Already."
Xiong Yuanju suddenly regained his energy and said: "Brother, we still need to study and understand these knowledge seriously. Mr. Duanmu taught it very well."
Wang Wei sneered.
I thought to myself, what the fuck, I’m here to help you out. What’s wrong with you, don’t you understand?
Duanmu Yun saw through the minds of the two people and said: "I'm really being a bit pretentious. Boss, your time is limited and very precious. How about we discuss the Yi Jing again in the future? This time, just say what you have to say." "
"Sorry." Xiong Yuan raised his fists and said.
"Mr. Wang who came with you is definitely not an outsider. What else do you have to worry about?"
Xiong Yuanju hesitated for a moment and said, "I just stopped by to see Mr. to see what the life of an old intellectual is like. I respect Mr.'s magical legends."
"Thank you." Duanmu Yun smiled.
When Wang Wei saw that Xiong Yuanju had something to say but didn't know where to start, he said to Duanmu Yun: "Duan Gong, Boss Xiong encountered some unhappy things a few days ago, and he also has many doubts in his heart. Today he specially asked me to accompany him. I came over to visit you, maybe because I want to know something. He likes to make friends with magical people like you."
"Yes, haha." Xiong Yuanju smiled and said, "If you are close to vermillion, you will be red, and if you are close to ink, you will be dark. Some of my unsatisfactory experiences may be related to some business matters. I still want to get a taste of the fairy spirit of Mr. "
"Where, where," Duanmu Yun said, "I am a layman, what kind of immortality can I have?"
"The vulgarity is the elegance." Wang Wei heard what they said was interesting, but he broke away from the conversation, and then stopped the conversation for them in time, "Mr.'s famous name and divine name are unique in China. I heard that even some provincial party committee secretaries
, the country... has come to you and asked about the full and waning moon in the officialdom, and whether the sky is cloudy or sunny."
Duanmu Yun smiled, shook his head and said: "Those who are officials are very concerned about their career prospects. However, none of them have ever been straightforward in front of me. They are all just empty words. What can I talk about."
