Hu Xu smiled at her, "Is the boss back?"
"How come you have time to come here today?"
Hu Xu then explained that Yuan Zuzhi had asked him to bring a festival gift.
Lou Yunchun asked Xu Jiang, "Did you go to Master Lin's house?"
"Lu Zhen is coming to become my disciple today, I will take him there." Xu Jiang naturally sat down next to Lou Yunchun, and Lou Yunchun stood up to make tea for her. There was a tacit understanding between the two that outsiders could not interfere with.
Hu Xu felt a little sad, but also relieved.
Lou Yunchun can do so much for her, I think he is sincere to her.
With Xu Jiang around, they started talking more.
Xu Jiang told the story of Lu Zhen being given a handkerchief by a monk on his way to become a disciple. She described it vividly, making both of them laugh. Then she asked, "What do you think the monk meant by this action?"
Hu Xu jokingly said, "I'm afraid this monk wants to kidnap Lu Zhen and make him a monk."
However, Lou Yunchun was inspired by this incident and Hu Xu was enlightened after hearing it. The confusion that had been lingering in his mind for a long time was immediately dispelled.
Only with compassion in your heart can you see the world, and only by letting go of what you hold on to can you achieve enlightenment.
Why is it so popular?
Officials must be compassionate and empathize with the suffering of the people. They must sympathize with the people's sorrows and rejoice in their joys, resonating with them. Then, they must apply what they have learned to truly benefit the people, giving them something to look forward to and striving for it. When the people are content and have enough food and clothing, they will naturally study and observe propriety, leading to a flourishing society.
This means that officials should abandon empty theories, transform their empire into humility, and practice the way of the world. Only in this way can they gain a deep understanding of worldly affairs, communicate with the upper and lower levels, integrate the way of the sages with the way of the people, and then cultivate their body and mind, knowing and practicing, so as to benefit the people and pass on the teachings to future generations.
Hu Xu said goodbye to the bookstore, rushed home, locked himself in the study, and wrote an article to express his feelings and insights.
After putting down his pen, he read the article over and over again, and suddenly his mind became clear and all his depression was swept away.
"Axu, are you in there?" Mother's voice came from outside the door.
"Here." Hu Xu responded, then carefully put the article away and waited to take it to Yuan Zuzhi for guidance tomorrow.
"Guests have arrived, and your father hasn't come back yet. Your sister and I are busy right now, and your brother-in-law is not good at speaking well, so please go out and help entertain them."
Hu Xu straightened his clothes, opened the door, and went out, asking his mother, "Is it Uncle Song and Song Qiao who are here?"
"Yes." Mother Hu nodded, "Go quickly."
"Why."
Hu Xu came to the outer courtyard. Brother-in-law Hu was relieved to see him, and then found an excuse to slip away to the backyard.
"Uncle Song." Hu Xu greeted Song's father first, then looked at Song Qiao. He was stunned when he saw him.
Today, Song Qiao took off her usual plain clothes and put on a dress with a combination of mountain color and orchid color, which made her look like a secluded orchid in an empty mountain, quiet and beautiful.
"What's wrong?" Song Qiao's clear and cold voice startled Hu Xu back to his senses.
He realized his impoliteness and quickly looked away, asking her to sit next to him.
Song Qiao said, "No need. You can talk to your father. I'll go to the kitchen to help."
After saying that, she walked towards the kitchen with a slightly flustered step.
Song's father asked Hu Xu to sit down and have tea with him, and then asked Hu Xu, "How does Ah Qiao look in this dress?"
Hu Xu thought about his previous gaffe and felt a little embarrassed. "Very good."
Father Song said proudly, "I bought this at Madam Cui's clothing store just to please her. Doesn't it look good on my Ah Qiao?"
Hu Xu couldn't help but think of Song Qiao's appearance just now, and then nodded, "It looks good."
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Song's father's face.
At first he refused to wear it, but after seeing it, he said it worked.
