Chapter 1297 Zhou Porridge Blind Date ([-]) 【Subscription】

Although Xu Xuecai was very unwilling and reluctant to give up, he still had no choice but to get up and leave.

Because Zhou Congee was really angry!

If he doesn't leave, Zhou Porridge can pick up a teacup and splash him all over.

As soon as the person left, Wang Lin laughed and fell to the ground.

Zhou Porridge couldn't bear it anymore, spread his ten fingers, and grabbed Wang Lin: "Make you laugh, make you laugh! You came to accompany me on a blind date, and you came to help me! Have you ever helped me?"

Wang Lindao: "I have been helping you!"

Zhou Conge bit his lip: "Who are these people! None of them are normal!"

Wang Lindao: "Actually, they are quite normal. It's just that you are not on the same level as them."

Zhou Congee said, "What level?"

Wang Lindao: "Do you know why Bodhidharma passed down the cassock and iron mantle to Huineng?"

Zhou Congee shook his head lightly: "Why? I don't know."

Wang Lin picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said slowly, "Because Hui Neng understands the principles of the impermanence of all natures, the non-self of all dharmas, and the tranquility of Nirvana. Only when we realize that there is nothing in the world can we further realize that there is nothing in nothing. There are flowers, moons and towers. Tea scholars generally believe that only by realizing the realm of nothing can one create the true realm of Zen and tea. Nothing is the source of artistic creation of tea ceremony. This is the level, which is the realm.”

Zhou Congee said: "I still don't understand, don't drop your book bag! I know you have the ability to speak in human language that I can understand."

Wang Lindao: "In life, there are high and low realms. People with high realms face and enjoy a large world; people with low realms face and enjoy a small world. Zhuangzi's classics and his The story of the story hides the size of the realm and the level of the structure of the person."

Zhou Porridge was fascinated when he heard it: "Is it true? Is this a famous saying? Or did you make it up?"

Wang Lindao: "This is Mr. Feng Youlan's exposition in "A Brief History of Philosophy."

Zhou Porridge said: "Really? Then tell me, what kind of state does a person have?"

Wang Lindao: "This is a long story to say."

"Long story short!"

"Don't get stuck in things, don't get stuck in your mind, don't get confused by people, don't get lost in your nature."

"What do you mean? Explain it more clearly."

"Look, I'm making a long story short, but you can't understand me. If I speak carefully, you'll say I'm long-winded."

"Can you explain the head office?"

"This is the four realms of human beings. The first realm of human beings: not stagnant in things and not greedy. "Tao Te Ching" says: Contentment is not humiliated, knowing and stopping is not perilous, and it can last for a long time. Once a person depends on material things, he must You will lose your pure self, and greed is a deep ditch that can never be filled. The peach blossom fairy Tang Bohu once laughed at himself: others laugh at me as crazy, and I laugh at others who can't see through. He would rather die old age between peach blossoms and fine wine than Bow and flatter in front of chariots and horses. Although in a small room with only one bed, one table, and one chair, you can still play the plain piano, read classics, and feel at ease. You can’t rely on external objects and indulge in material things, and you have reached the first stage of your life A boundary."

"Tsk tsk, amazing! Tang Bohu, one of the four great talents, has just reached the first stage of life?"

"Yeah, the vast majority of people live like dogs, muddle along, and just get by, without any realm at all."

"What about the second level? How to say?"

"The second state of human beings: not trapped in the mind and not tired. The human heart is a limited container. If it is filled with golden tiles and red walls, it cannot contain the mountains and rivers; There is a story in Zhuangzi about Huizi Xiangliang, you should have learned it? It is about this kind of situation.”

Zhou Porridge said: "I seem to remember something. Huizi is the Prime Minister of the Liang Kingdom. I heard that Zhuang Zi came to visit, and I was afraid that he would take away my phase. But Zhuang Zi described himself as a young bird in the south. , don’t eat unless it’s practiced, and don’t drink unless it’s a sweet spring. An owl was eating a rotten mouse with relish, when the young owl flew over its head. The owl hurriedly protected the rotten mouse, looked up and said: Scary! Zhuangzi Then he said to Huizi: Now you want to use your Liang country to 'scare' me?"

Wang Lin said approvingly: "Look, how high is your realm, isn't it?"

Zhou Porridge said: "Stop talking nonsense, what about the third level?"

Wang Lindao: "The third realm of human beings is: not to be disturbed by others but not to be troubled. Zhuangzi's wife died, Hui Shi went to offer condolences, and saw Zhuangzi sitting on the ground with his legs spread apart, while beating on a clay pot. Singing. Hui Shi thought that Zhuangzi’s dead wife lived with Zhuangzi for a lifetime. Zhuangzi not only didn’t mourn, but also sang on a clay pot, which was too much. Zhuangzi recited a poem: The world says I’m not sad, but I laugh at the world and feel heartbroken. People If I die and still cry, I will cry thousands of times."

Zhou Porridge pondered, as if he had realized something.

Wang Lindao: "Wen Zhengming, a calligrapher and painter in the Ming Dynasty, once wanted to draw a picture that everyone loved. He asked everyone to mark the shortcomings in the painting. As a result, every pen and ink was pointed out. For the same painting, he asked everyone to mark the shortcomings. As a result, all the pens and inks that have been criticized have been replaced with signs of praise. There is no painting that everyone loves in the world, and there is no one who is always admired. Mature people, never Evaluate others easily, and you will not live in the evaluation of others. You are you, unique, not disturbed by others, this is the third level of life."

Zhou Congee nodded seriously, expressing that he understood.

Wang Lindao: "The fourth level of human beings: if you don't lose your original nature, you will have nothing to lose. Zhuangzi and his disciples walked to the foot of a mountain and saw a big tree with luxuriant branches and leaves standing beside a big stream. Zhuangzi asked the woodcutter, so The tall tree, why no one cuts it down. The lumberjack replied: This tree is useless at all. If it is used to make a boat, the boat will sink to the bottom of the water. It is used to make a pillar of a house. It is easy to be corroded by insects, because it is not A tree that has become useful can have such a long life without cutting it down. Zhuangzi said: If a tree does not become useful, it can avoid disaster; It's useless."

Zhou Congee said: "Could it be that what Zhuangzi said must be correct? Zhuangzi lived in an agricultural society. Does his words have any positive meaning in today's industrial society?"

Wang Lin smiled and said: "If you can question it, you have already surpassed most scholars. The tree is bent, and although it cannot be used, it cannot hinder its free growth. People live in this world, and each has its own way of living. Under different standards, there are Different values. Zhuangzi’s thought may be abandoned by many people, but it will also be regarded as the standard by many people.”

After pondering for a while, Wang Lin said again: "Leo Tolstoy said: the value of life is not measured by time, but by depth. We always ask ourselves, how should we live this life to be able to Live out what you want most? Maybe Zhuangzi’s story is the best answer: don’t be stuck in things, don’t be trapped in your mind, don’t be confused by people, and don’t be fascinated by your nature. The body can dance with shackles, and the soul can be inserted Wings of freedom."

Zhou Congee was shocked!
At this time, a handsome young man came over. His hair was combed meticulously, his face was like a crown jade, and his clothes were extremely decent. He looked low-key but had a kind of inner luxury, which was very similar to Wang Lin.

The young man smiled slightly: "Teahouse! That's right, this beautiful girl must be Comrade Zhou Porridge?"

Zhou Congee nodded: "I am Zhou Congee. Are you?"

"Zhou Congee, hello, I'm Guo Hui, I'm here to go on a blind date with you. I've seen your photos and heard some of your resume. I've never been on a blind date, but I've developed a strong interest in you, so Take the liberty to come here. Regardless of whether the blind date is successful or not, at the very least, I can meet an excellent woman, a female friend who is self-reliant and independent! This is also my greatest achievement."

"Comrade Guo Hui, hello, please sit down." Zhou Congee also became interested in talking.

"Thank you." Guo Hui opened a bag, took out a handful of red roses wrapped in a transparent plastic bag, and handed them to Zhou Congee, "On the way here, I saw an old woman selling flowers. , the woman was very pitiful, so she bought all of them, and there were exactly 33 flowers, and I heard that they represent three lives and three lives, I don’t understand these, I don’t know if it’s the meaning?”

Zhou Congee's eyes lit up, and he pursed his lips and smiled, "Isn't your story too clever?"

"If I bought it in a flower shop on purpose, it must be packed into a bouquet of flowers." Guo Hui smiled, "If you like bouquets of flowers, I can take them apart and repack them now. I was in a hurry to rush Came to your date, so no time for this."

Zhou Congee picked up a fresh flower, put it under Qiong's nose and smelled it lightly, and said, "It smells so good! It's an elegant fragrance, I like to smell it!"

Guo Hui took out another exquisite and lovely doll, and handed it to Zhou Porridge: "It's a coincidence, I just came back from Dongyang, this is a gift I bought in Dongyang, all the children in the family gave it to me, and there is still some leftovers. Well, I heard that you have a daughter who just started kindergarten, so I brought it here, hoping she would like it—didn’t you bring your child?”

Wang Lin suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

There are still good men in this world, and there must be men who conform to Zhou Congee's aesthetics and three views!

If they do meet, will she agree to date him impulsively?

Zhou Jun, Li Wenxiu and others who were sitting not far away were all paying attention to the actions here.

Seeing this, Li Wenxiu smiled and said: "Finally a reliable man came. I think he came here with sincerity, and he and Zhou Congee are also very suitable. Zhou Congee's marriage will definitely work out this time!"

Zhou Jun and his eldest sister looked at each other in blank dismay.

If this happens, what will Zhou Porridge and Wang Lin do?
Are they really going to break up?

It was originally agreed, but I just came for a cutscene!
Wang Lin said with a smile: "Yes, I think they are really a good match, both male and female! However, Zhou Congee's requirements may be higher!"

Zhou Jun said: "Yes, my sister has high requirements! Ordinary men can't catch her eyes. Xiaoxia, it would be great if you went on a blind date. This man is more suitable for you!"

Zhou Xia sneered and said, "Why is it that a man that Congee doesn't like is suitable for me? My vision and requirements must be lower than hers?"

Zhou Jun said: "Aren't you still single?"

Li Wenxiu said: "Isn't Zhou Zhou also single?"

The Zhou family immediately fell silent.

Zhou Xiaomi looked at the beautiful doll with wanting eyes. She jumped off the chair, ran over, and shouted, "Mom, I want a doll!"

Zhou Congee handed the doll to his daughter.

Guo Hui looked at Zhou Xiaomi, then at Zhou Jun's table, and said with a smile, "So you are all here!"

He picked up Zhou Xiaomi and said with a smile, "What a cute child! If you like dolls, uncle will buy them for you next time, okay?"

"Okay!" Zhou Xiaomi smiled sweetly.

Zhou Congee said, "Xiaomi, you have a lot of dolls at home! Do you still think there are too few?"

Zhou Xiaomi pouted and played with the doll.

Guo Hui said: "Little girls have low resistance to dolls, just like us adults have low resistance to beautiful clothes. Who would think too much?"

Zhou Congee said: "You let her down."

Guo Hui put down Zhou Xiaomi and looked at Wang Lin: "This must be your brother, right? Hello, big brother!"

At this time, Zhou Xiaomi yelled crisply: "Daddy hug!"

Wang Lin smiled and opened his hands.

Sitting on the side outside, Zhou Porridge picked up Xiaomi and handed it to Wang Lin.

Guo Hui said in shock: "He, he is Xiaomi's father? What's going on?"

Zhou Congee said, "He is Xiaomi's godfather."

Guo Hui let out a long breath: "It scared me, I thought——thinking about it, it's impossible! I'm worrying for nothing."

Wang Lin glared at Zhou Porridge.

Guo Hui walked over, met Zhou Jun and others, chatted for a while, and then returned.

This man is easy to talk, elegant, generous, and very pleasing.

Zhou Jun looked at his back and said, "Don't talk about it, this guy is really nice. Xiaoxia, do you want to think about it?"

Li Wenxiu said with a smile: "Brother Jun, why are you in such a hurry? Congee Congee is still on a blind date? Are you just so expecting Zhou Congee's meeting to be successful? What if they get married?"

Zhou Jun chuckled: "Absolutely impossible!"

So far, Guo Hui's performance can be said to be impeccable.

Even Zhou Congee couldn't think of a reason to reject this person.

After Guo Hui sat down, he chatted with Wang Lin, but rarely chatted with Zhou Porridge.

Zhou Congee is a little depressed, didn't you come to find me on a blind date?Why did you start chatting with Wang Lin instead?
Of course Wang Lin is very good at chatting, and he found out the details of Guo Hui in a short time.

Guo Hui studied in Germany, and he is actually a returnee with a doctorate!
In this day and age, let alone overseas returnees with a Ph.D., even college students are very rare.

Guo Hui's family conditions are of course very good, otherwise it would be impossible to support him to study abroad.

His grandfather was actually an old revolutionary who participated in the Long March!
Both parents hold important positions in Beijing!

Because he likes law, he studied for a doctorate in law. After returning to China, he worked in the political and legal department.

Wang Lin thought to himself, such a man is really a treasure!
Guo Hui said frankly that he was in a relationship once and almost entered the palace of marriage. The woman is a master.

The woman wanted to stay abroad to develop, and finally went to the United States, and asked Guo Hui to go with her, but Guo Hui said that if she had achieved success in her studies, she must return to China to work. This is his family tradition and his lifelong ambition, so I advocate return home.

There was a huge difference in their thoughts, and finally at the cost of ending their ten-year relationship, they separated.

Listening to him telling that unforgettable love story, Zhou Porridge couldn't help feeling sad.

The sense of crisis in Wang Lin's heart became even stronger!

This man is too good!

All aspects are in line with the aesthetics of Zhou Congee!
What's more terrible is that Guo Hui not only has a proud background and academic qualifications, but also has an amazing emotional intelligence.

Before they knew it, they talked for an hour.

I saw the meal.

Guo Hui opened his sleeves and looked at his watch: "It's fate that we met. I can chat with you, and we can become good friends in the future. It's getting late. Let me treat you to a meal! Treat me to dinner." There are so many melon and fruit snacks, and I am from Beijin, so I should treat you as a guest. Please don't refuse."

Wang Lin looked at Zhou Porridge, she was the master of the day.

Would she say yes to the invitation to the meal?
If she says yes, does that mean she agrees to be with the other person?

Zhou Porridge smiled slightly, and also glanced at Wang Lin.

Wang Lin didn't speak, he knew that Zhou Porridge was a man of his own mind, and he just talked about the four realms of life, and told a few short stories, in fact, he was interfering with her choice.

No matter what Zhou Porridge chooses, Wang Lin will accept it.
